America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 40 Clever Ikana
Abel and D. Ikana Lerner did talk and laugh.

But it's not like Paris imagined, two people are flirting.

The two were discussing Ikana's own clothing brand and the market situation of American clothing brands.

"In June this year, in the federal territory, the CPI index for clothing rose by 6%, an increase of 0.5% year-on-year."

Ikana, a graduate of MIT and Wharton, two top business schools, is calm and knowledgeable when explaining her ideas.

A performance of a super strong woman shown in Hollywood and many American dramas.

"Despite the recent price increases, the retail price of apparel as a whole has risen by only 1998% compared to the average price since 1.9."

"Overall prices are up 1998 per cent on average since 15.9."

Ikana looked at Abel, "Mr. Smith, do you know what this means?"

What does it mean?
Abel was actually a little confused.

It is true that he is studying financial knowledge seriously, but because of the reason of being able to cheat.

In fact, he is not very keen on learning.

Because he can spend a lot of money to hire the most powerful accountants and actuaries.

Invite financial elites like David Mellon to help him operate the plan.

These people, in the most obvious way.

Let him understand the twists and turns in the financial field.

He doesn't have to worry about them lying to him, because his hook can tell the real from the fake.

He just needs to be a good brain and a good soul.

He spends most of his time building his future plans.

In my spare time, I spend all my time chasing girls.

The time spent on learning financial knowledge cannot be said to be pitiful.

That's not much either.

He half understood what D. Ikana Lerner was saying now.

But he won't pretend to understand because he wants to pick up Ikana like others.

He smiled directly and said, "Sorry, I don't know much about the clothing market.

But I know that this market must be profitable.

Which luxury brand does not make ready-to-wear?

Which luxury brand does not make clothing? "

"In time, I will trust Miss Lerner in your company.

It must be able to spread stores all over the United States like GAP. "

GAP (Gap) is one of the largest clothing companies in the United States.

When the company was founded in 1969, there were only a handful of employees.

But now, it has more than 2200 chain stores.

A multinational company with an annual turnover of more than US$80 billion and 11.5 employees.

"Thank you for your blessing." Ikana responded with a smile.

If it is its own brand, it can be as successful as GAP.

Ikana wakes up with a smile in her dreams.

Compared to Paris Hilton's treatment of Abel, it's just different.

Ikana, who has studied in two top business schools, before meeting Abel today.

She has studied Abel's numerous investment experiences since he came to New York for ten months.

Many of his operations are traceable and can be made public.

It is easy to find out if someone with a heart spends a little more time, energy and affection.

Because this is not a secret in the first place, it is completely frank.

That's what Ikana studies.

After researching, she discovered——

Abel's financial operation and investment can't find any shadow of various investment models summarized by the academic school at all.

It also does not conform to various investment concepts in market analysis.

It seems that it is purely random investment and random operation.

But it happens to make a profit every time, and the profit is very rich.

This is very amazing.

So much so that in Wall Street, some people have called him a financial prophet.

Compared with Paris Hilton's ignorance, D. Ikana Lerner summed up her life for herself at the age of 14.

After a little investigation, I learned that Albert was originally a wealthy farmer in Texas.

Immediately understood that this is a rough jade.

Quite possibly a new Peter Lynch, Warren Buffett, Benjamin Graham-like figure.

Why is Soros not mentioned here?

Because it is different from these three Wall Street godfathers.

Soros was a full-time foreigner and had struggled in the financial field for many years before successfully attacking the pound in 91.

I have been on the street many times in the middle, and I almost went bankrupt in silver investment.

The first three have never lost money since they came into contact with finance.

It's all going smoothly, and it's different from ordinary people.

Judgments like Ikana's have been made by many people in Wall Street or New York.

This is why so many people are willing to get close to and even curry favor with this little Dixie from Texas.

When Peter Lynch and Buffett first emerged, many people invested in them early.

Later, they all received very generous returns!
Simply put, it's about money.

We all believe that Wall Street goes through every ten years.

There is always an unspeakable financial genius or two.

For example, Peter Lynch after Benjamin Graham, Buffett after Peter Lynch.

After Buffett, why can't it be Abel Smith?

Anyway, it's not to invest in him to ruin his fortune, but to take part of the money for him to manage his finances.

Even if you look away, it won't hurt your muscles or bones.

This is why David Mellon helped Abel receive invitations to various banquets since the end of last year, and he was speechless and irritated when he received them.

Because of this, D. Ikana Lerner has a clear goal for her future.

Naturally, she was very happy to communicate with Abel, and she also enjoyed the feeling of being under the spotlight.

Especially the envious, jealous and hateful eyes cast by a few celebrities in New York's wealthy circle who are similar to Paris, or even Paris herself.

It made Ikana even more happy.

"Other people's children" are just precocious and intelligent, knowing what they want and what they should do.

Not that she didn't have vanity.

She is also a girl, a rich lady from a materialistic place like New York!

Of course.

Ikana is also measured, with good IQ and EQ.

Unlike Paris, if it was Paris at this time, she would probably be pestering Abel all the time.

Ikana, on the other hand, would listen with a smile on her face when Abel was chatting with the others around her.

She knew very well that the people around her, including Baron Hilton, should not talk about her.

Not even her father, D. Ted Lerner, could offend anyone.

Especially her father, as a real estate agent, went bankrupt so many times.

It can be said that there is no bank in New York that he does not owe money to.

Every bank is his creditor.

The funds for Lian Ikana to establish her own brand were initially borrowed from the bank by D. Ted Lerner.

That's right, Ikana's clothing brand "Miss Ikana", her father owns 40.00% of the shares.

This is actually a common situation for rich second-generation entrepreneurs.

Back then, D. Ted Lerner also started his business with the $100 million provided by his family.

It was the 70s, and $100 million was not a small amount back then.

D. Ikana Lerner was very measured, especially after Abel took her contact information.

After making an appointment to go out for two days, she became even more beautiful with a smile.

　D. Ted Lerner is a character I combined with the famous American real estate agent Ted Lerner in real life and someone who knows how to combine it.

　　Naturally, you all know who his daughter Ikana is, right?
