Chapter 180: Victoria's Secret
The "Miss Asia" program is also being held, and this time, they follow Henry's instructions to do it, pack it, and attend various events to attract the audience's attention. The last stop will be to the United States to participate in the first "Victoria's Secret Fashion Exhibition" of the "Victoria's Secret" company!!
The Victoria's Secret fashion show was supposed to start in 1995, but when Henry decided to buy Victoria's Secret, it was destined to be held four years earlier!!
In the past, Victoria's Secret (Vito Day A-S-RET) is one of the world's most famous sexy lingerie brands with products including women's underwear, bras, panties, swimwear, casual women's wear, women's shoes, cosmetics and various matching clothing, luxury shorts, perfume cosmetics and related books.
Basically, women know about this brand!
As for men, huh...... Victoria's Secret Angel is so sexy!!
In 1995, the Victoria's Secret fashion show was held for the first time, attracting global attention, and was reported by the world's major media as !!the "underwear event of the century", and then a Victoria's Secret fashion show will be held every year, and each time will attract global attention, causing a huge sensation, and making headlines in major newspapers every year!!
Victoria's Secret belongs to the well-known American mid-to-high-end clothing manufacturer Li Fan Ted-Brands Group, which has established hundreds of stores in the United States, is developing well, and its annual sales have exceeded one billion US dollars!
However, there are many brand companies under the TED-BRANDS Group, and if the conditions are good, it is possible to sell Victoria's Secret!
And Victoria's Secret is not as popular and influential as later generations, and the IP value is not big enough!
Now it seems that Victoria's Secret is just an ordinary chain of stores selling underwear!
It was only after the Victoria's Secret fashion show that Victoria's Secret began to really catch fire!!
Henry set up a garment production company, Williams Apparel Group, in California, and then made a request to the Ted-Brands Group to acquire "Victoria's Secret"!
As soon as the other party inquired, it was actually the world's super-rich Henry Williams who wanted to buy his own company, and immediately considered it. I thought that the other party had money, and if I really wanted to buy it, I could make a lot of money from him. Amazing yourself and then build a new brand!
Henry personally came to the Ted-Brands group of companies, and Henry attached great importance to this kind of large-scale acquisition involving billions of dollars! This time, Henry was going to borrow money from Williams Bank to acquire Victoria's Secret, and he did not have so much money in his current deposits...... But. It is believed that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Henry had absolutely staggering amount of cash!!
Leslie, chairman of the Ted-Brands Group and EO, has been waiting for a long time.
Leslie is actually the founder of the LI fan TED-BRANDS group, founded the first clothing store in 1963, with a very superior taste and keen business sense, the brand is positioned in teenagers, especially young women, under his genius management, LI fan TED became an instant hit. Later, five branches were opened, and then the listing circled money. After the money was circled, it was out of control and carried out a crazy expansion. Opening branches, acquiring, continuing to open branches, continuing to acquire, making the TED-Brands Group one of the giants of the American apparel industry!!
In Henry's investigation, Leslie spent $47 million in 1990 to build an imitation of an English Georgian manor outside Columbus, Ohio, and bought the real 17th-century English manor in the same year: an 11-bedroom, five-bathroom foote-hou. In addition, he commissioned what is said to be the world's largest private yacht!!
By all indications, Leslie is rich and good at spending money!!
When Henry first met Leslie. He knew that this very shrewd old man in front of him was a little difficult to deal with, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to acquire......
Leslie greeted Henry with a smile, "Welcome Mr. Williams, I'm Leslie." Chairman and EO of the TED-Brands Group!!"
"Hello, Mr. Leslie, I admire your self-made deeds!"
"Hehe, I'm a little fighter, and it's better than you, Mr. Williams. The total market value of the Ted-Brands group of companies is less than one-seventh of yours!" Leslie laughed, "Mr. Williams is worth 200 billion......"
Henry smiled, waved his hand and said, "There are not so many, the Internet and newspapers are spread blindly!"
"Hehe......"
Leslie smiled, "Please come in, I'll show you around the company!"
"Good!!" Henry nodded.
After entering the Ted-Brands group of companies, Henry found that there were simply beautiful women, handsome guys, and a dazzling variety of clothes. Leslie took Henry to visit the major subsidiaries of the group company, and finally took him to Victoria's Secret!
Leslie introduced: "This is the current Victoria's Secret EO Marcus Christie!"
Marcus Christie knew Henry and hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet him, "Hello, nice to meet you, Mr. Williams!!"
"Hello, Mr. Marcus Christie!" Henry said with a slight smile as he shook his hand.
Leslie smiled: "Mr. Williams, the company has also been visited, let's go to the reception room, it's time to talk about business!"
"Well, then lead the way!" said Henry.
Leslie answered, walked ahead, and after a while, led Henry to a reception room that could accommodate dozens of people!
After sitting down, Leslie smiled and said, "Mr. Williams, how much do you plan to invest in the acquisition of Victoria's Secret?"
"Two billion dollars!!" Henry replied.
"No, Mr. Williams, this price is a bit low!! Leslie shook his head, "Victoria's Secret has hundreds of stores, and the brand is well-known, with annual sales of more than a billion dollars, and a net profit of up to 200 million dollars!! according to the current development trend, Victoria's Secret will only be more profitable, maybe in a few years, the profit can be doubled! So, for such a very profitable company, Mr. Williams, don't you think two billion dollars is too little?"
Henry's face remained impassive, and he asked lightly, "So, how much does Mr. Leslie think is appropriate?"
"Four billion dollars!!" Leslie smiled and said slowly.
When Henry heard this offer, his brows couldn't help frowning. In 2015, Victoria's Secret was only worth $7 billion in market value, and now there is a difference of more than ten years, so it is not worth $4 billion!
"Mr. Williams, do you think the price is too high?" Leslie said as he looked at Henry's expression.
