Chapter 379: It's already a big tree
"Oh......"
After listening to Anna Wintour's introduction, Abel nodded and said nothing.
He was just curious about how Anna Wintour could have such a beautiful little girl with him.
Even if you know his "hobby" and want to "bribe" him in this regard, it's not good to bring such a small one, right?
Abel, who has already tasted it, still prefers supermodels with long legs and fierce murders.
For small sprouts, you can try one or two early ones once in a while.
It's not interesting to have more.
After all, he is not a stranger.
Now it seems that it was her daughter, so that's easy to say.
Abel shifted his attention to Anna Wintour.
When Anna Wintour was young, she was supposed to be a beauty.
This is known from her current five-light silhouette, as well as the appearance of her daughter.
But the years are urging people to get old, she is already in her fifties, no matter how she looks at it, she is an old woman.
"Ma'am." In the box, Abel got straight to the point:
"David told me that you have something to look for me. I don't know what it is?"
But only after Abel spoke.
Anna Wintour took a deep breath, and in the middle she even closed her eyes, as if to cheer herself up.
"Mr. Smith......" Anna Wintour whispered, "I don't know you, are you interested in me?"
Abel: "......"
If it were your daughter, it would be about the same, but still a little small.
Your words...... Fack!
Abel was a little angry.
Looking at the smile that disappeared from the corner of Abel's mouth, Anna Wintour was a little flustered, and she also knew that she had said the wrong thing.
This lady with a high status in the fashion industry quickly explained:
"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. I mean, I don't know if you, Mr. Smith, are interested in me working for you!"
Hearing her say this, Abel didn't turn his face and leave.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Anna Wintour, "Ma'am, what do you mean by that? As far as I know, you and Mr. Donald Newhouse have always had a good relationship."
The relationship between Anna Wintour and Donald Newhouse has not always been good. But for a long time, this fashion industry witch has been the concubine of Donald Newhouse, a fashion media tycoon.
Otherwise, how could Anna Wintour, who came to New York alone to develop from London, become a ". The main article of Vogue magazine?
Even if Anna Wintour herself really has a keen sense of fashion, she is a genius in this field.
But even if she is a genius, she also needs a platform for her to play.
Donald Newhouse gave her such a platform and made Anna Wintour the current fashion witch.
In other words, it's Donald Newhouse and the . . Vogue magazine, made Anna Wintour.
It's just that Anna Wintour did a really good job, making the already powerful ". VOGUE is even more powerful.
Gradually, Anna Wintour felt that she had made Vogue magazine.
With the passage of time between the two sides, as well as the aging of Anna Wintour, there are certain contradictions in terms of treatment and benefits.
This is a bit like the "achievement theory" that has been debated between management and actors in Hollywood. ….
That is, successful actors and their fans believe that they are the ones who make the role.
The management believes that this is bullshit, and it is the role that makes the actor.
Anna Wintour is very capable. From her point of view, she felt that she had achieved herself.
Even without "VOGUE", she feels that she can stand out and become a female devil.
From the perspective of the management, it is "VOGUE" that makes Anna Wintour.
They felt that there was no V
OGUE", ANNA WINTOUR MAY NOT KNOW WHERE IN THE LONDON COUNTRYSIDE TO BE HER LITTLE COUNTRY TAILOR.
It's hard to say about this kind of thing. But there is no doubt about the relationship between Anna Wintour and Donald Newhouse, who was and is now Abel and many girls.
That's why Abel asked.
Anna Wintour nodded slightly, and she said:
"Mr. Smith, just like you said. That's right, even if my daughter is here, I'm just as sure to admit it...... I used to be the old man's mistress."
She confessed that the deputy next to her, Angelina, and her daughter, Catherine A. E. Schaffer, I didn't react much to hear her say that.
I don't know if it was discussed before the three of them came.
Or the two of them are already familiar with Anna Wintour's character.
"Then I'm curious. Is there any conflict between you and Mr. Newhouse?"
Abel asked with a smile on his face.
Anna Wintour nodded, then shook her head again.
"Exactly, from the moment he began to want to extend his claws to my daughter, we had irreconcilable contradictions!
Abel raised his eyebrows, this ...... This Newhouse is better than himself.
At best, I'm just ...... Just sisters. But this Newhouse seems to want to play something.
"And what do you mean now?" Abel said.
Anna Wintour took another deep breath, "Actually, since two years ago, that old guy has had this idea. But how could I possibly let Catherine fall into the pit I once fell? Naturally, I couldn't say yes! Since then, this old ghost has been suppressing me! If it weren't for Vogue not being able to leave me, I might have been fired a long time ago......
Seeing that Anna Wintour seemed to be about to make a tirade, Abel interrupted her:
"Ma'am, my time is precious. Get straight to the point. Say what you're going to do, say what you want me to do, and what I'm going to get."
'Damn capitalists! ,
Anna Wintour thought to herself, so she nodded and said:
"My original idea was to take the whole of Vogue with me. It has poured so much effort into me, and without me it would not be where it is now."
Abel found that this old woman was particularly prone to deviating from the topic in her speech.
Fortunately, now he also has time, so he has to listen patiently.
「…… But I found that hard. These vampires, they're so well controlled. Even I can't."
Abel couldn't help but laugh, he really thought it was funny.
I don't know who or what gave Anna Wintour this courage.
There is no Liang Jingru in the United States.
Vogue is a real cash cow for any media company. ….
It's just a worker, even the most powerful worker, who says he wants to take away the boss's cash cow.
Let's not talk about whether it can be done, even if it can be done. The capital side will also educate the workers on what capital is.
Committing suicide with eight deep shots in the back, that's capital.
The last street was hit by a truck and flew into the sky, which is also capital.
In his own bathroom, drowning, is also capital.
or ran to the beach in the middle of the night and was missing, which is also capital.
Anna Wintour can't take "VOGUE" with her, but it's a good thing for her.
If she can really do it, then she will know what capital is before she dies.
"So all I can do now is protect Catherine. But I don't want to continue working on that old ghost."
Anna Wintour looked at Abel seriously, "I've already looked for many people. Mr...... Really."
"For example?"
Abel relaxed physically and mentally, leaned back in the chair, stretched out his hands, and hugged Li Xinyu and Li Xuxian on the left and right.
Li Xinyu
Naturally, he snuggled up, and Li Xuxian's body immediately tensed, but he didn't push away or leave.
Just keep her head down and occasionally peek at Abel, or her sister.
Opposite Anna Wintour, continued:
"I've approached Hearst, and they have ELLE, fashion collections, and they're a much more powerful fashion media than Newhouse."
Abel nodded.
The Amanda sisters' Hearst family is very strong in the fashion media industry.
Almost half of the world's top 10 fashion magazines are owned by the Hearst Group.
Condé Nast is stronger than Newhouse's Condé Nast in this regard.
"But Hearst turned me down. They didn't want to cause trouble, and the editors on their side didn't welcome me. We've been fighting for years, and I'm probably going to have to weigh on them, and they can't agree."
Abel knew that this was normal, but he didn't want to hear the old woman continue to ramble.
He spoke directly, "Ma'am, please. Let's get to the point. Say what you want to do, or what I can get, just say these two."
Anna Wintour was silent, and she found that her very good way of talking was of no use to Abel's side.
The key is that she still has a request for Abel, and Anna Wintour can only say softly:
"Okay. Then I'll just say it. Mr. Smith, I'm willing to take at least 80 percent of the American version of VOGUE and more than 50 percent of the European and Asian versions. I could leave VOGUE with at least 500 fashion elites!
The fashionable old woman's eyes stared straight at Abel.
"Mr. Smith, I wonder if you dare to accept us?!"
Abel was a little excited, not to the old woman.
It was to the old woman, and the 500 elites of Vogue magazine were moved.
Whether in the past or in the future, even if the Internet era comes.
From the era of print media to the present magazine.
They will all have a place in the media, and they will still be a very important role.
Smith Media has always attached great importance to this.
This can be seen from the fact that Abel has personally stood up for the "New York Observer" many times.
Even in the Internet era, the sales of paper media will become very poor. ….
However, the influence of those more elite magazines will have a larger audience and market because of the wide dissemination of the Internet.
The Internet will expand everything, bringing magazines all over the world, to all the audiences who like them.
And both in the past and now, magazine media mainly rely on sales and advertising to make money.
It is still a magazine that will make money mainly on the Internet in the future, relying on traffic and advertising.
One thing they all have in common is that they value the quality of their content in addition to branding.
And for the magazine, an elite, capable editorial department. It can undoubtedly make it even better.
Why is Vogue so powerful? Known as the first holy book in the fashion industry.
In addition to brand inertia, the most important thing is its editors.
Although Abel can't appreciate it, the content of "VOGUE" magazine in their circle is infinitely respected by their circle, which is why "VOGUE" magazine has its current status.
If only Anna Wintour could have hollowed out the editorial office of Vogue magazine all at once.
Abel feels that "VOGUE" will be very uncomfortable for a long time, maybe a year or two.
[I have known an old book friend for ten years to recommend to me to chase books, @
The son became one of the fashion powers.
It's a long story, but it only took Abel a second or two to figure it out.
He immediately responded to Anna Wintour.
"What's so hard about that?"
Abel smiled and said:
"Don't say anything about Condé Nast. Even if it's an advanced publishing group, we're not afraid of it. Ms. Wintour, as long as what you say is true. As long as you are willing to work for me, then I will protect you."
Abel's statement was very direct.
Since Wintour's argument was tempting, after thinking about it, he added:
"Believe me, I have the power to protect you. Look at Michael and Britney. On my side, these two are happier than anyone else."
"Look at MJ, even the oilers aren't bothering him now. Why? It's just that he's working for me, and I can shelter him."
In fact, Anna Wintour made up her mind to lead the team to Abel to defect.
Among them is Michael Jackson, and Britney Spears factor.
It's not that these two people persuaded Anna Wintour to come and join Abel.
The two men didn't know Anna Wintour that well.
It was the story of these two people that made Anna Wintour feel that Able had the ability to shelter her if she wanted to.
What was the most important thing that got him into the same predicament as Michael Jackson?
Is it really Sony's quagmire and entanglement?
The dignified king of pop, almost one of the symbols of American pop culture, Michael Jackson was so targeted by the neon cabinet that Americans didn't have an idea?
Those blacks don't have ideas?
You must know that although MJ is white on the outside, he is black on the core. ….
Black in the United States is ZZZQ, ZZZQ is in hand, even capital will be afraid of it.
But Sony still did the same.
The reason is because a few years ago, I don't know if it was sincere, or if it was leaked, or unintentionally.
Michael Jackson said something very unfriendly to the oil people, and even considered anti-oil in front of the public media.
That's when it began.
When Sony faced MJ, it began to become more and more assertive and daring to use means.
So it's obvious.
That's after that, at least against MJ. Behind the Sony Music Group, there is already a figure of oil man.
In this country, the oil is even more ferocious than ZZZQ.
With the blessing of the BUFF of oil, MJ is naturally not pleasing in front of Sony Music.
And smart people know why MJ fell into this situation.
This is also why few of MJ's "friends" dare to stand up except for Yin Kana and her father.
Who in this country would dare to openly confront the Brahmins?
If it weren't for Abel's appearance, MJ's fate would most likely fall like in parallel time and space.
Just like twenty years after a parallel time and space, there are also a few old blacks who think they are ZZZQ enough to believe in the power of BLM.
Dare to challenge the great murderer......
Of course, the ending is very bad, after all, there is no Abel Smith in that time and space.
After defecting to Abel Smith and publicly showing friendship with a number of well-known oiler figures, in the media.
The dark clouds that wrapped around Michael Jackson's fate gradually dissipated.
Many well-intentioned people have found out about this.
They also saw in the media that Abel had a good relationship with many big oil things.
For example, Bloomberg.
For example, Soros.
Plus Smith of Texas, rumors of a marriage with a bush in Texas.
This makes many people who have a heart feel more and more that Abel Smith is already a strong tree
Tree.
Even if he is young, even if he appears for a short time.
As one of the people who have a heart, Anna Wintour has been thinking about it for a long time.
Now I finally decided to go to him.
She felt that if Smith was willing to help, she would be happy to accept her words.
At least she didn't have to worry about the blows and retaliations from Newhouse.
At the end of last year, "VOGUE" interviewed Abel and took fashion photos for Abel.
That's what Anna Wintour thought.
It's just that she didn't know yet, and she was still thinking about it at the time.
After all, Abel at that time, although he was already the king of traffic.
But no matter what aspect it is, especially if you haven't experienced 911.
He didn't have the same amount of influence as he does now.
At that time, George hadn't even lived in the White House.
After this year, as time passed, her thoughts gradually became clear.
If anyone tracks the changes, they will find Anna Wintour's praise and admiration for Abel.
It started at the end of last year and has become more and more exaggerated this year.
It can be said that more than half of Abel's fans in the fashion industry and ordinary people outside the United States can be regarded as Anna Wintour helping him blow it out. ….
It's just that Abel doesn't rely on traffic to eat, and he doesn't rely on fame to make money.
Anna Wintour's hard work was of little use to him.
Naturally, he didn't notice Anna Wintour's intentions.
Today, Anna Wintour found out that Abel had come to her restaurant for dinner.
As her daughter got older, Newhouse's side became tighter and tighter.
Anna Wintour chose to break the kettle and came over to meet with Abel.
Now that Abel's affirmative reply was received, Anna Wintour laughed happily.
"Mr. Smith. I would love to work for you." Anna Wintour said with a smile:
"I remember Smith Media, in terms of fashion magazines and art magazines, there was only one 'Lisabeth's Back Garden' magazine and one Fashion Smith."
"I'd like to be their editor-in-chief. And if you put some effort into it, then we can quickly bring them to Europe and Asia. Believe me, we are capable of this!"
Wintour's departure this time took with him not only people from the United States side of "VOGUE".
Because of her strong influence within the magazine, as well as her huge appeal in the fashion industry.
And the help of her friends.
Anna Wintour is sure that in addition to Vogue USA, the editorial offices of Vogue magazine in the other two regions will also be emptied at least half.
Directly change the cage and wipe out the elite editors of "VOGUE".
"VOGUE" MADE ANNA WINTOUR.
The current fashion female devil, although she can't take "VOGUE" away from Condé Nast Group.
But she has a way to scrap "VOGUE" all at once!
The premise is that someone can save her from accidents or something.
Searching and searching, Anna Wintour found the person she felt was the best fit.
"Then it's settled."
Abel is also very decisive, this kind of door-to-door benefits should not be in vain.
Others are afraid of Condé Nast Group, or the advanced publishing behind it.
But the current Abel, although he can't help it, is no longer afraid of any challenge from Newhouse.
Abel stood up in front of Anna Wintour for the first time, and smiled softly at her and stretched out his hand:
"Welcome to Smith Media, ma'am."
Anna Wintour also felt the change in his attitude.
The fashionable old woman laughed and shook his hand respectfully, "I'd love to, Mr. Smith!".
