Chapter 381: Heh, but that's it!
As Christmas approaches, New York is becoming more and more lively in the cold wind.
Not to mention the vast majority of ordinary people, shopping and preparing for the biggest festival of the year.
Three months on the European side.
In a circle of traditional European fashion models, he fought his way out.
The models of Yin Lizabeth's back garden, which have also gained great popularity in Europe, also returned to New York on December 20.
This morning, New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.
A large number of North American entertainment media reporters received the news last night.
I know that the most popular Yin Lisabeth models in the modeling circle will return to New York today.
They all gathered in the departure hall of JFK International Airport today, just to take first-hand photos of these delicate girls, as well as first-hand news.
As one of the most famous cities in the European and American world, it is also one of the favorite cities for various entertainment superstars.
New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport has long been accustomed to this situation.
Even in the departure hall, there is a special area for journalists.
In this way, reporters can be allowed to interfere with the normal operation of the airport as little as possible.
In the reporter area, reporters from major entertainment media are chatting to kill the boring waiting time.
"That's a lot of people!"
Jason, a special correspondent of the famous American entertainment magazine "Vanity Fair", couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the obviously large number of reporters in the field.
Next to him came the voice of his friend, who is also a peer and competitor, Erin a reporter for Entertainment Weekly:
"Yes. It's hard to imagine that just a bunch of models have attracted so many entertainment media. With this number and level, even if two Toms come, that's it at most."
Jason nodded, agreeing with Erin's statement.
As we all know, the entertainment industry of any country in the world has a similar chain of contempt.
Generally speaking, in this chain of contempt, the film industry is an existence standing at the top.
Below the film circle, there is the TV circle and the music circle. These two circles are a little contemptuous of the fashion circle at the same time.
To put it simply, movie stars are the highest, TV stars and singers are second, and models are at the bottom.
At the bottom, it's a dead end.
That's the real bottom.
There are two main reasons for the formation of this ecological chain.
One is income and the other is fame. In the words of the Internet age, it is traffic.
In terms of income, of course, it depends on the income of the top ceiling of the circle.
In the entertainment industry, the top income is naturally those movie stars at the A coffee level.
Their income from one movie is as high as more than $20 million before taxes.
Many even have commissions, and there are no shortage of people who earn $50 or 60 million before taxes for a movie.
This income, the most powerful TV actors, singers and models combined, can be said to be incomparable.
Michael Jackson is good enough, right?
Arguably the most profitable singer and the most influential pop singer in the world.
His ability to make money is undoubtedly the number one existence in the music industry. ….
But a singer like him is only one in the entire music circle.
In the film industry, just in terms of income, the number that can be compared with him is more than 10 fingers.
And MJ, whether it is income or influence, is a supermodel in the music industry, and even Britney Spears can't compare with him.
In other words, the income of a top-level super singer is about the same as that of a normal A-level Hollywood superstar.
In terms of income, Hollywood has hit the music industry.
Then there is the popularity/traffic that is most valued in the entertainment industry.
A successful movie can often make it big
Some viewers are familiar with several celebrities.
Even a slap is many years, relying on one character for many years.
Can be a singer or TV drama actor. If you want the audience to remember, it is difficult to do it without more than one excellent work.
In addition to these, in all aspects, the film industry represented by Hollywood is in a high position in the world's entertainment ecological chain.
This is true even in the music and television circles.
Not to mention the fashion circle, which has always had a relatively small audience.
This circle has always been at the bottom of the entertainment industry, no matter which country it is.
Otherwise, Xiao Lizi, who has become a general trend in parallel time and space, will not be able to use Victoria's Secret at that time as an alternative. Palace, one by one bubble supermodels.
That's because Victoria's Secret's supermodels are eager to increase their popularity through the scandal with Xiao Lizi.
In this way, they can become more famous, ask for more prices when they take jobs, and even seize the opportunity to enter the film industry or something.
Otherwise, with these people, how could they not know about the heart of Onardo?
How can you be willing to be toyed with by him?
This is because even if they have reached the top of the fashion industry and become international supermodels.
But they are still the characters at the bottom of the ecological chain of the entire entertainment industry.
If you have the opportunity to climb to the upper realm, of course, it will take a lot of effort.
In the past, this circle has always been like this.
But after last year, with the advent of Yin Lizabeth's back garden.
This kind of ecological chain, it looks like it's going to be broken.
Born out of nowhere, through Abel's crazy krypton gold burning money, he directly sent a group of models in the world, who are different from the world, to most of the LSPs in the world.
Almost overnight, these supermodels surpassed many stars in the film, TV and music circles in terms of popularity.
Let the models in Yin Lizabeth's back garden, at least in terms of popularity, have a basis to compete with other circles.
While making Yin Sha Angels popular overnight, it also made them form a peculiar status in the entertainment industry.
That is, many times, they can already compete with ordinary TV, movie, and music stars in terms of popularity and traffic.
There are too many viewers (mainly LSPs) who are happy to see them in newspapers, magazines, and television.
There is such an objective law.
The media naturally liked them, and the level of their pursuit was also mentioned to a similar extent as the other three circles.
This is in the fashion circle, which is the existence of out of the circle.
Jason, a reporter from "Vanity Fair", and Erin, a reporter from "American Entertainment Weekly", exclaimed when the two discussed. ….
is to marvel at Yin Sha Angels, in the fashion circle, or in the entertainment industry, this change in status.
Just when the two reporters wanted to continue the discussion.
At around 10 o'clock in the morning, among the reporters waiting for the plane, I don't know who shouted.
「…… Hey, they're out!
Jason and Erin, who were talking, also hurriedly ran forward with their cameras.
I saw that near the VIP exit, along with the iconic rock security staff, appeared.
Under their protection, supermodels who have achieved great success in Europe.
One by one, they appeared one after another like big-name stars.
Walking in the forefront, it is naturally the leader of Yin Sha's angels, with an aura of ten meters eight.
Gisele Bundchen, who has won the nicknames of "Model Queen" and "Queen of Bundchen" all over the world.
Bündchen's aura is indeed powerful, and as soon as she appears, she attracts the flashing lights and shutter sounds of almost most reporters.
[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books at present, @
K, Lima, Ambrosio, all familiar faces in the media.
The bodies are hot and glamorous, which is not at all comparable to supermodels in other fashion circles.
The successful experience, coupled with the super hot popularity and traffic, also gave them a star-like halo.
This makes them naturally more confident when facing reporters.
Under the coordination of the airport staff and the arrangement of Yin Sha's company.
They also went to specific venues one after another to be interviewed by reporters.
After a half-hour interview, they left JFK International Airport.
13th Road, New York.
Yin Lizabeth's secret back garden, which is not so secret, is in that manor villa.
In the glass-domed pool.
Abel wore swimming trunks and brought two Rottweilers, who had grown into big dogs, to the pool.
Even if the cold wind is howling outside.
Glass-domed swimming pool, blessed with high technology.
At this time, the interior is as hot as summer.
It is very suitable for swimming and doing some physical and mental pleasure exercises.
Abel stood on the edge of the pool, moved his body, and warmed up.
Li Xinyu was still with him a few days ago.
I don't know if little Laura noticed something, or something else.
Yesterday, little Laura suddenly called Li Xinyu.
It was noon.
Abel did not leave No. 138 East 65th Street at that time, and after lunch, he was ready to "accompany" Li Xinyu to go out again.
When little Laura called.
Her best friend is doing something inappropriate for children with Abel.
Li Xinyu was too frightened to answer the phone.
But Abel didn't allow it at all, she was forced by Abel to connect the phone.
And then there's an indescribable plot.
Little Laura invited Li Xinyu, a good girlfriend, to go to Texas and spend Christmas with Little Laura.
Li Xinyu wanted to refuse, she wanted to accompany Abel.
But Abel made her accept little Laura's invitation.
The reason is that if Li Xinyu goes to celebrate the holiday with little Laura, it is equivalent to spending Christmas with the shrub family. ….
This is of great help to Li Xinyu within the Li family, and even Li Fuzhen within the Li family.
Let them speak much more forcefully when facing their families.
In the end, without being exposed, Li Xinyu agreed to go to Texas for the holidays.
Anyway, in a few days, Abel will go back to Texas.
Early this morning, Li Xinyu had already set off for Texas.
Here in New York, except for Avril Lavril and Britney, who are running activities.
Abel finds that his women, or the mermaids in the pond, have run away.
Fortunately, today, the largest group of mermaids, they have finally returned from Europe.
The owner of the fish pond has the idea of challenging his own physiological limits again.
At the moment by the glass-dome pool, he is doing a warm-up exercise before the self-challenge is launched.
Let's swim first.
By the pool, Abel stretched out his arms and crossed them vigorously, the muscles of his whole body tensed, and his perfect body was undoubtedly displayed.
"Peng—"
The warm-up is over.
He plunged into the pool and swam in the water like a swimming fish
The two Rottweilers saw that their owner had fallen into the water and never appeared, and they barked and walked around the pool.
Poof-
With the support of terrifying lung capacity, after a few minutes of diving, Abel came out of the water, stepped on the water, and watched the two Rottweilers wagging their tails at him, and couldn't help but wave at them in amusement.
The two big dogs snorted a few times and hesitated, but finally jumped into the water one after another, and the dogs slid and swam to Abel.
It didn't take long for them to run back to shore.
Looking at Marvel and DreamWorks who climbed ashore and flung the water droplets on their bodies by the pool, Abel couldn't help but roll his eyes.
The two stupid dogs still didn't like to play in the water very much, and after a swim they stopped playing, and ran back and forth by the pool, following Abel who swam around.
After swimming back and forth for more than a dozen times, Abel came out of the pool with both hands, turned his head sideways and controlled his ears, walked to the side of the recliner, picked up a white bath towel and wiped it clean, and wrapped it around his waist.
Let the maid standing next to her face turn a little red.
Speaking of photos of this.
Last year, it was already photographed many times by entertainment reporters.
Especially at that time, he would often go to the beach, and the beaches in Los Angeles and Hawaii have left many photos of him in this regard.
After those photos were published in the newspapers.
I don't know how many male people envy and hate, after all, men have always been easy to be vain in this regard.
I don't know how many female people have seen straight legs soft or flowing. Mouth. Water, after all, they love this one.
And these people, they don't know that when they were interviewed by reporters at the airport not long ago, the high-spirited Yin Sha angels.
Just half an hour later, they were transported by three helicopters.
Came here and appeared outside the glass-domed pool.
Without waiting for anyone to tell them, they all smiled coquettishly and walked into the warm glass pool.
They were dressed outside to keep out the cold, and at the same time show off their beautiful clothes, and they were all over the place, and they were all over the pool.
And then there's the puff – puff pass——....
The sound of mermaids falling into the water, as well as their splashes, are very conspicuous in the pool.
These charming and lovely supermodels who don't know that there are hundreds of millions of male fans in the world.
All of them turned into unbearable mermaids and slaughtered the delicious "food" in their eyes.
On the "food" side, he helped his waist and said to himself in his heart:
It's just a dozen and twenty-five, and it's not that I haven't beaten it!
For the honor of men, fight!
So......
In the pool, the story of Abel's version of "The Old Man and the Sea" suddenly appeared again.
The story runs from about eleven o'clock in the morning until more than four o'clock in the afternoon.
There are a few breaks in between.
At the end of the story, the mermaids are finally defeated.
All were captured by fishermen and pulled ashore.
A fisherman who fought alone against 25 mermaids and won the victory.
It's not that he didn't pay a price, but his price was that he was too tired to do it.
After all, Ip Man only dared to say that he wanted to fight 10, and Abel "hit" more than twice as many as Ip Man.
Gently beating his waist, self-massage to relax, the "fisherman" in pajamas, walked out of the door.
Before closing the door, Abel looked back and sneered, "Huh...... But that's it!"
Ten minutes later.
He came to the largest living room of the manor villa, and lay down on the sofa, feeling a rare physical exhaustion.
Although the mermaid is good, but the soup is greedy, and it is really tired.
But the spirit is good, and you can continue to deal with things.
Next to the sofa, also stood Michael Communication.
He is the general manager of Yin Sha and one of the presidents of Smith Media.
It was usually him who sent the Yin Sha angels to Abel.
and Alan Baker, the general manager of the Smith Intelligence Group and Abel's chief advisor.
Naturally, David Jones is indispensable, who is now about to become Abel's shadow.
Except when Abel was doing things like "catching mermaids".
David will almost always be seen not far from his side.
He snapped his fingers, or called, and the butler of the Smith family would appear.
"Hey...... Michael and Allen."
Abel greeted Michael and Allen, "Good afternoon."
The two hurriedly responded to the boss before they began to talk about things.
As always, Michael Incoming is in charge of this year's Lisabeth Yoon's back garden, the Christmas Eve show in Times Square.
It can be said that at least for now, this big show carries nearly half of the value of Yin Sha's company.
Without this drama, Yin Sha Company would not have grown to this extent in a year.
It can be seen to the naked eye that for a long time, Yin Sha Company must also hold this big show all the time.
This has to be said to be a very huge pressure for the company.
Fortunately, their boss, Mr. Abel Smith, is also becoming more and more influential in the city.
With the ascension of Michael Bloomberg.
It almost means that at least in the next four years, Yin Sha can continue to hold this kind of big show.
This made the prospects of Yin Sha's company stable and unlimited at once. ….
Almost at the same time as this year's election Congress in New York, Mr. Bloomberg's election victory was announced.
Yin Lizabeth's back garden, the company's valuation in the capital market, has also increased from $3 billion to $5 billion at once.
It has almost doubled, and under Bloomberg's mayor, Abel is the company that benefits the most.
「…… As of November 2001. We have 356 locations throughout North America. The number in Europe is 256. 150 in Asia, 69 in Oceania, 10 in Africa and 20 in South America, for a total of 861 outlets."
「…… As of November, Yin Sha achieved a net income of US$556.9 million and an operating income of US$930.6 million in the first three quarters. There is no data for the previous year, because the previous year has not been rolled out for sale."
After listening to Michael's report, Abel nodded.
He can be said to be very satisfied with the results made by Yin Sha Company.
Because strictly speaking, in the various companies he currently owns.
Excluding the Department of Finance, the others are still losing money or burning money.
The only one who really makes money is Yin Sha's company, and it makes a lot of money, of course he is happy.
And in fact, it is not excluded that his influence and connections bring this part of the investment that is difficult to measure.
Abel's investment in Yin Sha is only about 350 million to 400 million US dollars.
Such a small investment in exchange for an annual profit of almost $600 million.
A company with a valuation of just a little bit can exceed $5 billion.
If he was in Neon, his achievements could be called "entrepreneurial immortals"!
"Good job." Abel smiled and said:
"But after this Yin Sha show, there shouldn't be any money in the account, right?"
Michael nodded honestly and replied:
"Yes. In order to maintain the pace of expansion, there are also expenses for Yin Shaxiu, as well as expenses for developing markets in Europe. Most of the net income has been reinvested, and by the end of Yin Shaxiu, there will probably only be about $30 million left in the company's account, which is only enough to maintain the company's normal operation. It will probably not be until the first quarter of next year that it will be more comfortable."
Yin Lizabeth's back garden, which has made a lot of money this year.
Most of the money is in the chain stores selling Yin Sha's underwear, accounting for more than 99%.
Since from the very beginning, the reason for OEM in Huaxia was determined.
The cost of underwear for these products is very low, and the gross profit is more than 90%.
The gross profit of some products can be as high as 95%.
As for the majority of the company's expenses, it is not the cost of materials and the cost of foundry.
It is basically in the store rent and transportation
Fees, channel fees, and other miscellaneous expenses.
After deduction, the net profit is almost more than 50%, which can be said to be very profitable.
This can be regarded as a blessing for Abel's good vision.
Replace it with someone else, even if it's a veteran in the industry.
Even if he has the influence and financial resources of Abel, it is impossible to dare to put the OEM directly in Huaxia from the beginning.
It can only be said that the European and American world in this era has too deep a stereotype of Made in China.
As everyone knows, at least in the textile and garment OEM.
Huaxia, which has experienced the era of three to one supplement, has begun to make a qualitative leap.
Under the relatively high foundry fee and very strict quality control.
The quality of the products produced by Yin Sha company is similar to that of European and American products, or the quality of foundries in Korea, Japan, Bay, and other places, and the price is almost several times cheaper or more than 1/2.
Let Yin Sha company surpass most of the world's well-known brands in terms of cost control.
The cost is cheap, and the sale is not cheap. Even if it's cheap, it's compared to other similar competitors.
But once you compare the costs, it's really cheap.
So naturally the profits are very lucrative.
It's just that Abel is not short of money. directly invested all the profits of Yin Sha's company in its crazy expansion.
As a result, Yin Sha's company has made a lot of money this year, but there is not much money left so far.
Because it was all invested and spent on opening more branches.
Hundreds of millions of dollars in profits are invested.
It is also the main reason why Yin Sha Company was able to increase the number of branches from 100 at the beginning of last year to 861 this year within a year.
A new thought
