Chapter 1036 Full of Tricks (Three More Requests of Variety)
Since Hollywood gatekeeper Harvey Weinstein folded in the lower half of his body, the rise of women's rights in the entertainment industry has become a trend. Now this "fire" has finally spread to the fashion circle.
At this sensitive juncture, GUESS's CEO and creative director Paulo Rocherno used his influence in the industry to harass and mentally bully a new model who has not yet passed his 16th birthday, and was beaten on the spot by the model's agent, who was not only brought back by the police for investigation, but also sent to court by the female model.
Suddenly there was an uproar in the United States, and the problem of xing harassment that had finally subsided slowly became loud again, and what made everyone even more shocked and excited was that the company to which the female model belonged turned out to be Andy Smith's assets, which made many people sigh for Paulo Romano, and God couldn't stop it.
However, what makes more young people amazed is that with the information of the female model reported by various media reports, looking at Kate Upton's 33D basketball NAI, all the men drooled and somewhat understood why the 58-year-old Paul old ghost could not restrain the inner commotion, Nima, it was too big.
The new generation of ruin gods in the United States has been rumored to be called!
At the same time, Paulo Romacirno also hurriedly stood up to clear everything, so for the first time, he shouted through the media: "This is a false accusation... The body is not afraid of the shadow crooked!!"
When a big-name helmsman with full confidence met a rookie model with an unrestrained painting style and a "xiong brainless" label, many people did stand on Paul's side, speculating that Kate was taking advantage of the heat to "knock on a stroke" hype, which attracted a lot of attacks and abuse.
The media public opinion and the people who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement work together to make this news the focus, you must know that if Paulo Romacirno is convicted, it will really be miserable, after all, Kate Upton's age is there, it is not only a matter of sky-high compensation, but also facing prison.
Moreover, under U.S. law, employers are jointly and severally liable. In the event of harassment, if the employer does not explicitly prohibit harassment, or fails to take measures to prevent such incidents, or fails to take action after receiving the harassment's report, it will be liable for compensation if it fails to effectively prevent the further occurrence of the incident.
When it came out of the court that Kate Upton's lawyer asked for $200 million in damages, Guess's stock price immediately fell off a cliff, falling 17.75% and evaporating $250 million in market value.
Andy lay back in the boss's chair with his feet folded on his desk, repairing his nails with a small file and facing the busy lobby of Liberty City Investments, with the sound of crackling keyboards in his ears.
"Boss, after the press conference held by Guess, their stock price has stopped falling and there are signs of a slight recovery... ”
Badstone walked to the desk with a statement, handed it to Andy, who leaned forward and reached out to take the document, Andy looked at Guess's statement with a contemptuous sneer, they pushed it cleanly, and also took off the position of CEO and creative director of Paolo Macirno like a strong man, hoping to get rid of the adverse effects on Guess.
"Hehe, where is it so simple... Andy sneered and threw the statement on the table, picking up the phone on the table, "Hey, it's me, let Kate prepare for an interview with AMC Cable News Channel, and tell the outside world that her agent has evidence in his hands." ”
Hanging up the phone, Andy raised his eyebrows and said to Bad Stone: "Continue to short, this drop is not enough for us to mobilize funds once, and it is not enough to plug the gaps, make a sum of money first, and then start to absorb chips, come and go, you can spend a lot of money, tsk." ”
"Well, because we used leverage to short before the market opened, the current profit is 90 million. ”
Hearing this figure, Andy said with some unhappiness: "Even less than half of the evaporated market value, I am adding 200 million principal and 10 times leverage." ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. For the greed of their big boss and the pursuit of wealth, Bardstone has long been accustomed to it, if it weren't for the fact that Guess's basic market is not big, they would really use money to break each other directly from the beginning, but now they can only slowly squeeze the bulls' chips.
Badstone was about to turn around and leave, but Andy stopped him and asked, "How's going on at Starbucks?"
"The decline is not large, but it is still a downward trend, a number of institutions to adjust the sell rating, Australian news, Australian media for Starbucks in Australia difficult loss maintenance has carried out a large report, Starbucks can not compete with Australia's mature coffee culture. Australia's most influential newspaper "The Age" even commented, 'Starbucks Memo: Try to sell ice to Eskimos next time'... According to reports, 61 of the current 87 stores are likely to be closed. The market has not reacted to this yet. ”
Hearing this, Andy also shook his head and laughed, and complained: "How can a fast food material be compared with the local specialty coffee in Tuao, especially the coffee shops on the street, almost every one of them has the treasure of the town store, Starbucks' operation is too rigid, since it wants to grab other people's markets, it is necessary to follow the local customs and cater to the tastes of the locals, just like KFC in the Celestial Empire, well, you don't know, the comparison between KFC and the Celestial Empire in the United States is simply weak!"
Well, after I join Starbucks, I will definitely make overseas strategic adjustments, each country should be different, and it must have its own killer feature, as it is now, latte is the same as a cow nai with coffee powder, and sooner or later it will be kicked out by some countries with a strong local coffee culture. ”
Hearing that his boss, which has not yet entered the owner's company, began to think about adjusting the company's strategy, Badstone could only smile, for his own boss, he would find a way to toss the other party if he saw something, and then annex the other party's Ren Xing practice, expressed his heartfelt admiration, this Nima is really rich Ren Xing.
Andy groaned, picked up the phone again, and called the editor-in-chief of Newsweek.
"Jon, you send an ace reporter to do an interview with Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz... Yes, let him talk about the plight of Australia and Italy, and then bring the interview back and process it... As for how to process, of course, it is difficult to say that it is important to say, you can look for Australian newspapers. ”
Looking at the boss who hung up the phone, Bardstone was completely speechless, and he really did everything, and he couldn't imagine that when the black knight plan for a hostile takeover was officially launched, the mystery was revealed, and the big boss came to the forefront, and Howard Schultz would not be directly angry and vomit blood to death.
Use the interview of the CEO of Starbucks to suppress Starbucks, tsk, it's really full of tricks!
