In addition to marketing and hype.

Another decisive factor in Victoria's Secret's success is that it actually follows the parity style.

Through constant hype and marketing, it gives people a feeling that "the old lady is a luxury and you can't afford it".

But in reality, most of its products are not expensive.

At most, it can only be regarded as light luxury, fast luxury.

This sense of contrast has greatly boosted its sales.

This is its second selling point, and it is also very easy to imitate.

But in fact, the acquisition of Victoria's Secret failed, and a new company was established to suppress Victoria's Secret.

For Abel, it was just a one-time snack for his business plan.

At first, he wanted to buy Victoria's Secret, but he suddenly remembered the Victoria's Secret models of this era.

There are a lot of models that he is greedy for, such as the young Ji Niangniang, KK, Lima, Eugene and the like.

He also wants to be a little plum once, or the enhanced version.

In addition, Victoria's Secret at this time is relatively cheap.

I was able to buy it, develop it for a few years, and wait for the peak era when this batch of models retired.

Or maybe he's tired of playing.

Victoria's Secret has also reached the time when its value is at its highest, and at that time, it will be easy to sell Victoria's Secret.

You can not only play the most dazzling models of the Age of the Gods, but also make billions of dollars by the way.

Why not?

It's just that Les Wexney didn't follow his script at all.

Refused to sell Victoria's Secret.

It made him a little upset.

Even if Les Wexnay later regretted it.

He didn't want it anymore.

But this breath must come out, and at the same time this batch of models he also wants to play.

Victoria's Secret is a way to make money, and he also wants to make money.

That..... Then simply spend about the same amount of money and start another brand yourself.

suppressed Victoria's Secret and let out his own breath.

He believes that in the face of more exposure opportunities and more generous remuneration.

Those models of the Age of the Gods who can sign a contract with Victoria's Secret must not be able to refuse his invitation.

So that's it.

He was going to find Michael Levine and ask him to plan such a company.

During this period, he acquired a medium-sized underwear brand and directly followed the path of Victoria's Secret on this underwear brand.

It is best to succeed, and if you don't, you will only lose hundreds of millions of dollars.

This is for him, who is often in the financial market, and the profit is easily hundreds of millions.

It's really nothing.

Mainly, Abel has seen through the essence of Wall Street.

To put it nicely, Wall Street is the financial center of the free world.

But is it really free?

Countless facts and examples prove that Wall Street is actually a place where a group of people use finance to harvest interests and compete for interests all over the world.

In this place, it is not possible to rely solely on financial talent to run amok.

Not even if you can predict it.

In this place, it is too dazzling, and it is easy to be hacked.

These black hands, including but not limited to—

joint operation market suppression,

investigation by relevant departments,

Unplug the network cable directly.

Seriously, even on the convertible, deep well ice gunner package.

If you really want to be in the financial market, you will be in a hurry with Goldman Sachs, MG, and Rockefeller.

They're absolutely going straight to the physics.

There are only two ways to avoid this.

One is development, to the point of being on an equal footing with them before they succeed in destroying you with this means.

The other is to join them, be a dog in the early stage, and see if they can become one of the leaders in the later stage.

Abel didn't want to be a dog, he wanted to try to be on an equal footing with these people.

Even above them.

After he saw these essences clearly, he was very low-key.

This includes, but is not limited to, social silence in the early stage, as well as caution in financial operations.

In fact, in the previous dot-com bubble incident.

By shorting, he can make more money altogether.

For example, if you short options, you can make more money by just shorting the company's stock than if he was "stupid".

But he didn't choose to do so.

He'd rather make billions less and keep a low profile and be safe.

There are more transactions in the metal market and the international foreign exchange market, and he tries to accept it every time.

Smith Capital has been established for half a year.

If he is unscrupulous.

With his abilities, before the instinct of the snowball of financial capital.

At this time, he estimated that his net worth had surpassed that of the current richest man, Mr. Bill Gates.

If this is the case, endless troubles will ensue.

Because finance is itself a zero-sum game in many places.

He can make tens of billions, which means that someone loses tens of billions.

Those who can lose tens of billions will only be Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, and MG.

He dared to let them lose so much, with his roots unstable.

Then they would dare him to disappear directly.

If he were from the Celestial Empire, he would have lost so much to these guys.

There is a high probability that personal safety can also be guaranteed.

But he's an old beauty, and he doesn't have the same level of shelter.

Let them lose so much, there is a high probability that it is brainstorming.

All along, Abel has been trying to suppress his profits in the financial market.

This will be when he has the ability to BUG.

It took ten months to accumulate a net worth of billions today.

It's not that he doesn't know that he can earn more by doing those things.

It's that he is cautious and does not dare to earn so much.

I chatted with David about the Victoria's Secret incident and decided to suppress Victoria's Secret.

The two ended the conversation in this regard.

David was busy,

He has to supervise the traders, the traders,

Earnestly implement the trading requirements of Abel on international crude oil futures.

Also keep an eye out for any winds related to Smith Capital.

Sometimes I have to be Abel's capital nanny,

Help him reach out and acquire companies that he likes.

For example, now David is going to send someone to sign a contract with the shareholders of the CAA that Abel has done.

Buy the shares of CAA.

And Abel, after drinking the cup of Geisha coffee that David made for him, he could pat his ass and leave.

But he just left David's office, not the company.

He returned to his chairman's office.

After closing the door.

He made a phone call.

The call was quickly connected.

"What's the matter?" On the other side of the phone, Alexander Smith's impatient voice rang.

"Daddy, good afternoon."

"Say it. Find me something. You guy, call me, there must be something. ”

"Hey, you're not the same.

When you call me, it's not always happening!

Only my dear mother would call me when she thinks about her son. ”

"Long-winded." Alexander on the other side of the phone said:

"Hurry up and talk about things.

I'm busy right now, fxxk.

Doing this kind of thing is busier than raising cattle and sheep! ”

"Okay."

As we approach September, the election season is about to begin.

Abel also knew that Alexander was probably busy now.

He went straight to the point and said, "Dad, do you have Wayne Lapierre's contact information?" ”

"Wayne Lapierre? What do you want this guy's contact information for? ”

"Well, that's right."

Abel told him about his deal with Bloomberg.

"You mean, let me give Wayne LaPierre a call. Let him meet that Yankee? ”

Bloomberg was born in Massachusetts, a state in the northeastern United States.

At that time, he was also a member of the Northern Alliance, and he was still a stalwor.

Say it's a Yankee, there's no problem at all.

It's like Texas is the backbone of Dixikey.

"There's nothing wrong with that. If it's troublesome, forget it.

This guy's favor is not to this extent. Abel said.

"No hassle. I'll make this call. Alexander said over there.

"Okay. Thank you, Dad. ”

"Hmm." Alexander answered, and then said:

"Give Emily a call when you're available.

I'm busy now, and she's even busier.

Now she is in charge of Smith Farm, and she is very busy and hard. ”

"I know."

"So be it. I'm going to Houston in the evening. ”

"Okay."

The phone was hung up.
