Chapter 213: Smith's version of "The Old Man and the Sea"
New York Royal Point,
No. 1 13th Road.
This place has been "requisitioned" by Yin Sha Company to a certain extent.
Yin Sha's headquarters are located in New York.
And the contracted models of Yin Lizabeth's back garden.
Their "dormitory" is the ultra-luxury manor villa that has been "requisitioned".
Since last year's Christmas Eve show.
Yin Sha company has gained great popularity.
Coupled with a very good average order value, the market quickly spread across the United States.
At the end of December last year, there were only 100 stores in the United States.
By the end of January this year, the number had reached more than 200.
Wait until the middle of this month.
Yin Lizabeth's back garden has achieved the achievement of 300 stores in the United States.
The company's overseas branches have also begun to prepare.
Besides.
Last year's Christmas Eve show.
The biggest beneficiary is in addition to Yin Sha itself.
The second most beneficial.
Naturally, it is the twenty-five contracted models of the company.
Although there were more than 45 models who appeared at that time.
But the twenty models who didn't sign a contract.
Although they are more famous, they have poor timing and clothing on the field.
In fact, they were invited to be green leaves to set off Yin Sha's own models.
It was a success.
This practice makes Yin Sha's models look more excellent and sweet than these top world supermodels.
Also because of this show, Yin Sha's company has 25 models.
There are more than ten, in a short period of time.
He was invited to be interviewed by top fashion magazines such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.
Like Gisele Bonchen in the finale, he even became the cover character of Vogue magazine again.
Carmen Cayce was also featured on the cover of Harper's Bazaar in January.
The Harper's Bazaar is not the Harper's Bazaar of China.
Harper's Bazaar in the United States, the No. 1 fashion magazine under Hearst Media Group, is very influential in the world.
And the other models have also gained their own fame one after another.
Among the models, the most profitable.
In addition to Gisele Bonchen and Carmen Keys, two supermodels who were very famous before they joined.
Secondly, there are Adriana Lima and Carolina Kokuva, two younger supermodels.
Adriana Lima was interviewed by Vogue for the first time after this.
And not long ago, Lima was also announced that he would play an important supporting role in MGM's "Spider-Man".
Karolina Kokuva is not bad either, she was also interviewed by "Opolitan".
&nbn is one of the top five fashion magazines in the United States, founded in 1886.
In addition, Dakk, who was still young at this time, also got some supporting roles from Hollywood, like Lima and others.
It can be said that in addition to the success of Yin Sha's company.
The angels of Elizabeth Yin have also achieved great success.
This makes New York Royal Point 13 Road.
It soon became a legend in supermodel circles.
Not to mention this house, which is rumored to sell for as much as $65 million.
Being able to live in it is a pleasure in itself.
Not to mention, the models who lived in it, all began to shine in global fashion magazines....
This makes those who have not joined, or who can't join, or who yearn for the little newcomers in this circle.
Naturally, it is infinitely admired.
On this day, when the light snow began to be colorful again.
The later big KK, now in the fashion media, is nicknamed "Little KK" Karolina Kokuva.
In the afternoon.
While it's still snowing outside.
She was comfortably soaked in Abel and spent almost tens of millions of dollars on remodeling.
You can swim outdoors in the winter.
You can take a refreshing dip in the outdoor glass-domed pool of mermaids while watching the snow.
Of course, such a big pool.
It is not forbidden for any of the guests in the villa to use it.
Other supermodels who live in villas, they can also swim in it.
Even recently, the number of girls who still live here is much smaller.
This is because Yin Sha Company has recently been holding a spring show.
Its own twenty-five contracted models are divided into four parts.
Four parts of the people.
In addition, some temporary supermodels will go to the four most developed cities in the United States to hold big shows.
Four cities, namely New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago.
The other models have already left for those three cities.
At No. 1 Huangdian 13th Road, New York, there are naturally fewer supermodels who still live here.
Among them, Gisele Bonchen, who is already the world's No. 1 supermodel, is currently vaguely the world's No. 1 supermodel.
She took six of her colleagues and went to Los Angeles.
Carmen Kayth took seven of her colleagues to Miami in the south.
Adriana Lima, who is a little younger, but has already shown her unique temperament on the runway.
took the same seven colleagues, under the protection of Rock Security, to Chicago to develop the market.
The youngest, Karolina Kokuva, with the rest of her colleagues.
Stay in New York and continue to have a spring show in New York.
This spring show will last for a week.
There were a total of four catwalks.
Strive to stabilize or even expand the popularity accumulated in last year's Christmas Eve show as much as possible.
Sisters who are more capable and older.
They went to big cities like Los Angeles to open up markets.
Karolina Kokuva, the little sister with little influence, stayed in New York.
In addition, the company is doing this, almost implicitly telling its angel babies -
If you get the favor of a certain king, then Yin Sha's status is guaranteed.
And these four leading sisters, including Karolina Kokova.
Undoubtedly, they are the four angelic babies who are most favored by kings.
"Whoa~"
In the pool, there was a sound of water.
Tired of swimming, Karolina Kokuva came to the pool, and she went ashore to rest.
In her soft pant.
Another supermodel, Alessandra Ambrosio, swam to her side with a smile.
"Hi ~ Carolina, aren't you swimming?"
"I'm a little tired from swimming, so take a break." Karolina Kokuva responded with a smile.
Alessandra is also Yin Sha's contracted model.
In this back garden, she has a lower status.
Share a room with Angela Lindwo.
In contrast, the younger Karolina Kokova was able to live in a room of her own.
Obviously, the big kk is here now, and his status is much higher than Alexandra's.
That's why Carolina.
The reason for looking more relaxed in the face of Alexandra's greetings.
"That's right~" Alexandra said in a relaxed tone:
"Carolina, I heard our boss is back in New York? I saw the news in the morning! The New York Post said he went to Smith & Co. ”
Karolina Kokuva is young after all.
And she entered the modeling industry at the age of 15 and came to the United States before she was 16 years old.
After coming to the United States, he was signed by Victoria's Secret before he even became famous.
Although Victoria's Secret is now suppressed by Yin Sha, it is about to go out of business.
But it was still treated better for models like Carolina Kokuva who signed their own contracts at that time.
At least it's much better than those dark modeling agencies.
Carolina Kokuva is also on the way to Yin Sha's company because of this.
Itself barely endured much of the darkness in the circle.
became Yin Lizabeth's angel.
This makes Karolina Kokuva, less wary of circles and "colleagues".
To put it bluntly, he is too young and has less experience.
Hear Alexandra ask.
Carolina even said with a little pride:
"It's back in New York! I sent a message yesterday to ask. The boss said that today or tomorrow, he will come to see me! ”
Among the angels of Elizabeth Yin, only four people have the number of Abel.
These four people were the first to come to this villa.
Karolina Kokuva is one of them.
She is more naïve and bold.
is also the one among the four people who dares to send a message to Abel.
"Oh oh oh~" Alexandra smiled.
Alexandra then swam in the water for a few more minutes.
She said to Karolina Kokova:
"Carolina, I'm tired, I don't swim. I'll go back and change my clothes first. ”
Karolina Kokuva naively:
"Tired of swimming so quickly? You swam most of the day yesterday. Okay, then I'll swim a little longer. ”
Alexandra smiled and nodded and left, heading straight back to her room.
Angela Lindwo, who was in the same room as Alessandra and had fox-like eyes, was not there.
Angela went to Miami, and the room was temporarily reserved for Alexandra.
Alexandra quickly came to the vanity mirror and sat down.
She began to apply her makeup delicately and then chose her clothes.
So wait for Abel around four o'clock in the afternoon.
Take a boat through the sea and come to No. 1 Royal Point 13th Road, New York.
When you walk into the living room, which is the largest and once used as a makeshift runway.
Warm in the living room.
What he saw was Alessandra Ambrosio, who was dressed in cool clothes and wearing beautiful makeup.
"Mr. Smith!"
Seeing Abel's arrival, Alexandra had a look of surprise and joy on her face.
She jumped up on the couch.
In the cool clothes, she has a very material figure, and she looks very good because of her jumping.
Abel's eyes were fixed on Ambrosio's jumping bear, and he smiled and said:
"I remember you, you seem to be called Alexander?"
When this sound came out, Abel thought it was weird.
Because of his father, it's also the name.
"Alexandra." Alessandra Ambrosio corrected.
"The pronunciation of this name is different when it is used for women, dear sir."
"Okay." Able smiled and nodded.
Alexander is a common name in the United States.
And not only men can use it, but there are also some parents who will give their daughters this name.
But the name is, after all, the name of Alexander the Great.
It's okay for men to use it, but it's weird for women to use it.
Later, different pronunciations were developed, and when a woman used this name, she would be pronounced Alexandra.
"Alessandra, why are you alone?" Abel walked towards her curiously.
Alexandra replied obediently:
"Some of them are napping, some are swimming, and some don't know what they're doing."
"I'm reading here~"
Abel naturally hugged her into Hai's arms.
He also saw Alexandra in her hand, holding a copy of "The Old Man and the Sea".
Alexandra's "The Old Man and the Sea" is certainly not a song.
It is a work created by the famous American writer Ernest Hemingway in the last century.
The story revolves around an elderly Cuban fisherman who fights a giant marlin in the Gulf Stream far offshore.
Abel thought it was strange.
Thinking to myself, a top supermodel who is a scumbag, how can he read such a boring book?
Even Abel himself.
He also finished reading this book when he was in junior high school, when he had the strongest desire to read in his life.
But he didn't know.
This is Alessandra Ambrosio, giving herself a character in front of him.
A beautiful supermodel who pursues high-end interests and likes literature and philosophy, but has a good figure and strong professional skills.
At least now, this character has aroused Abel's curiosity and attention.
One is coolly dressed and has a super good figure.
A beautiful woman who looks beautiful, flatters herself, and looks more literary at the same time.
It would be strange if Abel wasn't interested.
This made him and Alexandra can't help but chat a little more.
As he chatted, the clothes on his body were gone.
As they chatted, Alexandra's clothes disappeared.
Later, wait for Karolina Kokuva to finish her comfortable swim.
Back in her room, she wanted to go to the living room to sit in her yukata.
When she got to the living room, she heard voices coming from inside.
The voice Karolina Kokova was all too familiar.
She quietly pushed the door and saw a copy of Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" dropped on the ground inside.
"The Old Man and the Sea" is covered with a pair of tulle pants produced by Yin Lizabeth.
Above, on the sofa.
Abel and Alexandra, who are "reading".
Karolina Kokuva is more naïve, but she is not stupid.
I have also heard many legends in the circle.
When she saw the woman inside, it was Alexandra, not another colleague.
The young big kk immediately understood something.
This made her grit her teeth and be furious in her heart:
"Madefaq! Bichi, big Bichi! ”
She had already guessed that Alexandra was playing her own words just now!
This made the young KK aware of the darkness of this circle.
Even the Yin Sha Garden in the industry cannot escape this law.
At most, it is more orderly, and there are rules, and it has its own king.
In other respects, this place is actually no different from the outside circle.
Thinking about this, Karolina Kokuva gritted her teeth and pushed the door straight and walked in.
Naturally, three people watched "The Old Man and the Sea" together.
After that, other supermodels came.
The number of people who watched "The Old Man and the Sea" together changed from three to four, four to five, and five to six....
Finally, with Abel, a total of eight people, are reading Hemingway's masterpiece-
"The Old Man and the Sea".
It is this "The Old Man and the Sea", and the content in the book is a little different from Hemingway's original book.
This version of Abel is the old man with the sea.
Tells the story of seven mermaids.
The story revolves around a young fisherman named Abel, who fights on sofas, carpets, walls, and many other places.
When Abel left No. 1 13th Road, New York.
It was already daylight the next day.
It's a good day, and the snow in New York has finally stopped.
The sun came out, and even though it wasn't clear, it made people feel refreshed.
Abel who came out of the villa, he held his waist, crossed his hands on his waist, looked at the sky and smiled.
He pushed his limits.
One dozen seven, no pressure!
In this way, he left No. 1 13th Road, New York.
Today is February 17th.
There are still three days left until the end of the first private placement of Smiths Capital.
Smith Capital has notified 100 LPs (investors) of the first phase of the private placement.
Let them come over on their own or have a representative come to Smith Capital for a meeting on the 20th.
The news soon spread throughout New York.
The general profitability of this private equity fund.
On November 15 last year, at the Smith Capital Investment Reception that night.
It has already been announced once.
Now the closure period is coming to an end, even if it is not the LPs of this private placement.
Other New Yorkers, and even Americans, who have heard of it, are very curious about it.
Everyone is curious, in November, it has only been three months.
The account of this private equity fund has changed from $3 billion to more than $8.6 billion.
Now another three months have passed.
What kind of figure will the balance of $8.6 billion become?
Is it another $5 billion to become $13.6 billion?
Or is there not $13.6 billion, or even more than $13.6 billion?
It's basically all three of these guesses.
Anyway, no one thinks it will be less than $8.6 billion.
Wall Street, in particular, is even more curious about this.
Mainly last month.
Smith Capital vs a dozen investment banks in the USD/JPY event.
Smith Capital hurt them.
It also lets these investment banks know that Smith Capital's profits will definitely be terrible.
And it was at this time that David Mellon announced on behalf of Smith Capital.
Smith Capital's new 4, 5 and 6 private equity funds, a total of three tranches will begin to be raised.
To all U.S. investors.
This news instantly detonated the rich circle in New York.
It also spread to the rich circle of the United States.
There are even many wealthy Americans who immediately took private jets and flew directly to New York.
And David Mellon is smart enough.
He did not explain to the public at all that the three private placements would not be the fund manager of Aberdam, but another trader from Smith Capital.
If you say it directly, there may be a lot of rich people who don't come.
But if you don't talk about it, trick them into the company first.
Even if they get angry and regret it afterwards, they should be able to leave some customers to some extent.
And in doing so, there is no damage to Smith Capital.
Because there are 2 and 3 private placements in front of it, which are managed by Abel.
And in the future, Abel will not stop creating new private placements.
In these three phases of private placement, Abel will also come forward to provide certain guarantees.
There are three prongs to do this.
These private placements of Smith Capital should not be difficult to raise.
