Chapter 475: Acquisition
On her third day in Paris, Bella met two old men who owned all the shares of Chanel.
Her public identity needs to have enough social fame, and Chanel's fame is not too big or small, which is more suitable for her to control.
The two old Jewish men had made Chanel worse and worse, and now they also wanted to sell this chicken-like asset to revitalize other properties in their hands.
The two sides went back and forth, testing each other's bottom line, and finally Bella paid 215 million euros to eat all the shares of Chanel in the hands of the two, and officially became the owner of the French company that was founded for more than 90 years.
Chanel is not a public company, and the shares are very clear and straightforward.
Alan. Widmore and Gérard. The two Jewish old men were unexpectedly low-key, there was no press conference, no on-site signing ceremony, the business teams of the two sides had been negotiating for a long time in the early stage, and after finalizing the transaction figures and many terms, the Bella and Widmore brothers signed the contract respectively, and the deal was completed.
Most of the money from Bella's 'sale' of Yuya was spent, and the Widmore brothers got rid of Chanel, the fashion brand they loved and hated, and at the same time got a lot of cash to save the rest of their own property, and the two sides took what they needed.
"Hopefully we will have the opportunity to work together in the future." The two old Jewish men had good business senses and methods, but their business methods were not suitable for the development of a fashion brand like Chanel.
At this time, the two old men smiled kindly and praised Bella.
"Of course, both of them are my seniors, and I still have a lot to learn from them." Bella followed suit with two nice words.
After a while, the two old men politely said goodbye, and from today onwards, Chanel, the French fashion brand, will no longer have a dime to do with them.
They walked freely, watching the car of the two leave the Chanel headquarters, and the corners of Bella's mouth duly put on the smile of the domineering president.
In a capitalist society, you can't do without money, and the name of a best-selling author is a bit low, and a billionaire is more suitable.
Selling guns and ammunition is easy to be criticized, but selling women's clothing and perfume is not so troublesome.
As a fashionista, with a world-famous luxury brand under her name, Bella's personality will be more perfect.
Natasha has always dressed as a secretary in a short skirt and high heels, and after sending off the two old men, she stretches and sits directly in Bella's chair as if she is the boss.
"I'm tired, this heel is too high, rub my feet."
You're pregnant, you're the biggest! Bella immediately put away the domineering president's style and obediently ran over to rub her daughter-in-law's feet.
Now that the fetus is just one month old, the two of them don't dare to do any strenuous activities, but it's okay to kiss and touch, where is this? This is Paris, which is famous for its waves, what's wrong with the domineering president touching the feet of the pretty secretary? Don't ask, asking is art!
In addition to art, you also have to do some serious work.
There is no Karl in this plane. Lagerfeld, Chanel's good hand was played to shreds.
The two old Jewish men hired a lot of designers before and after, but they could design and design, let alone continue the glory of Mademoiselle Chanel, and even maintain it.
Bella and Natasha only know how to buy, buy, buy, and ask them to design bags and clothes, and they can't design them, Bella has Isu cells, but no art cells.
Bella's approach was to identify the future direction of the company, not looking at fanciful designs, but hiring designers who had already proven their talents.
She hires Tom. Ford served as creative director of Chanel.
This Tom. Ford's resume is very beautiful, since 1990, he has been the creative director of Gucci, won a bunch of awards, and in 2000 he was the creative director of Yves Saint Laurent. Ford is one of the top designers in the industry.
However, the artist's nature makes this person's mind very wandering, and this guy had a whim last year, quit his job, and went to Hollywood to open a company to make movies.
The results are self-evident, last year's earthquake, tsunami and alien triple, so that his savings of more than ten years were all wasted, and Bella helped him solve a group of mafia debt collection troubles, and threw an olive branch in the form of equity and annual salary in a timely manner.
There is a designer, and the president has to find one, and Bella doesn't plan to come to Paris every day to work.
Dressed as a standard workplace beauty, she stood alone on the top floor of Chanel's headquarters, and only slowly turned back when she heard footsteps behind her.
A young man with a disrespectful expression and a bit of a childish temperament walked into the room.
He didn't wear a tie, the neckline was so open, and the suit was quite delicate, but at this time, it looked very casual on his body.
This man was Bella's chosen president, named Roderick. Kingsley, from New York.
If Bella hadn't intervened, he would have stolen the Green Goblin serum and flying machines in the future, and become Spider-Man's main enemy, the Red Devil.
A month ago Roderick. Kingsley is a billionaire who was framed by his opponents, bankrupted and almost thrown into prison.
Prisons in America aren't the best places to be, Roderick. Kingsley's little white face would be very painful inside, but fortunately, Bella sent someone to settle the lawsuit for him at the critical moment.
This person's personality is a bit extreme, weak and ruthless, both timid, and wants others to fear him, a very strange character.
His fashion sense is very strong in the ordinary person's class, and he can become a billionaire from scratch, although his character flaws are great, but his ability to operate is also worthy of recognition.
Bella handed over Chanel's corporate operations to Roderick. Kingsley, handing over fashion brand development to Tom. Ford, the former is a New Yorker, and the latter is a Texan, Bella asked the two to cooperate, not to reach the height of Chanel in the previous life, but at least don't be pressed to the ground by Dior every day, right?
"Mr. Ford, what needs to be done to improve our team of designers?" Summoning the two of them in front of her, Natasha was still in the role of secretary, pouring a cup of coffee for each of them, and Bella asked at this time.
Roderick. Even if Kingsley was rescued, he still looked like a hanger, as if he wanted to hide his inner weakness, so he put his feet on the conference table and leaned back, completely ignoring Bella's boss.
Tom. Ford is very conscious of working as a worker, and bowed his head and pondered for a while: "To be honest, there are many things that need to be improved, our route is not clear, and I almost don't see the development plan, who is the audience of the product?" There is no target ...... either"
