America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 71 The Nature of Wall Street
Except marketing and hype.

Another determinant of Victoria's Secret's success is that it actually follows a cheap style.

Through continuous hype and marketing, it gives people a feeling that "my mother is a luxury you can't afford".

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

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

This sense of contrast has greatly promoted 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 throwaway in 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 who are greedy for him, such as young Ji Niangniang, KK, Lima, Eugene and so on.

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

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

It can be bought and developed for a few years, and the models of the peak era will retire.

Or after he gets tired of playing.

Victoria's Secret has also reached the highest value, and at that time, it will be sold off.

You can play with the most eye-catching models of the age of the gods, and you can make billions of dollars by the way.

Why not?
It's just that Les Wexner doesn't follow his script at all.

Refuse to sell Victoria's Secret.

This made him a little uncomfortable.

Even if Les Wexner regretted it later.

He doesn't want it anymore.

But this tone had to come out, and at the same time, he also wanted to play with these models.

He also wants to make money from Victoria's Secret.

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

Suppress Victoria's Secret and express yourself.

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

Those models from the age of the gods who can sign with Victoria's Secret will certainly not be able to refuse his invitation.

So here's the thing.

He intends to find Michael Levine, let the latter plan such a company.

During the period, another medium-sized underwear brand will be acquired, and it will directly follow the Victoria's Secret path on this underwear brand.

It is naturally best to be successful, and it is only a loss of hundreds of millions of dollars if it is not successful.

This is for him who easily makes hundreds of millions of profits in the financial market.

It's really nothing.

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

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

But is it really free?
Numerous facts and examples prove that Wall Street is actually a place where a group of people use finance to reap and compete for interests all over the world.

In this place, one cannot rely entirely on financial talent to run amuck.

Not even if it can be predicted.

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

These black hands include and are not limited to——

Joint operation to suppress the market,

investigations by relevant departments,

Unplug the network cable directly.

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

If in the financial market, things like Goldman Sachs, MG, and Rockefeller are pushed into a hurry.

They will definitely use physical means directly.

There are only two ways to avoid this situation.

One is development, before they successfully eliminate you with this method, develop to the same level as them, and be on an equal footing with them.

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

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

even above them.

After he saw these essences clearly, he kept a low profile.

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

In fact, in the previous dotcom bubble event.

By shorting, he can earn more.

For example, shorting options can make more money than his "stupid" just shorting company stocks.

But he did not choose to do so.

He would rather make billions less, but also keep a low profile and safety.

There are many more transactions in the metal market and the international foreign exchange market, and every time he tries his best to accept it as soon as it is good.

Smith Capital has been established for half a year.

If he is unscrupulous.

With his ability, before the instinct of financial capital to snowball.

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

If this is the case, endless troubles will follow.

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

He can earn tens of billions, which means someone loses tens of billions.

Only guys like Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, and MG can lose tens of billions.

He dared to let them lose so much, when he was not on his feet.

Then they dare to make him disappear directly.

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

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

But he is an old beauty, if there is no shelter from a guy of the same level.

Let them lose so much, there is a high probability that their brains will be wide open.

For a long time, Abel has tried his best to suppress his profits in the financial market.

This is when he has the BUG ability,

It took ten months to accumulate only billions of net worth.

It's not that he doesn't know that doing those things can make more money.

But he was cautious and did not dare to earn so much.

After chatting with David about the Victoria's Secret incident, he decided to suppress Victoria's Secret.

The two ended the conversation in this regard.

david is busy

He wants to supervise traders, traders,
Effectively implement Abel's trading requirements on international crude oil futures.

Also monitor any bells and whistles related to Smith Capital.

Sometimes I have to be Abel's capital nanny,
Help him contact and acquire those companies he likes.

For example, now, David is going to send someone to sign contracts with the CAA shareholders that Abel has secured.

Buy the shares of caa.

As for Abel, after drinking the cup of Geisha coffee that David made for him, he can just 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 makes a phone call.

The call was quickly connected.

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

"Good afternoon, Dad."

"Tell me. What do you want me to do? You guys, call me, there must be something to do."

"Hey, it's not the same thing you said.

When you call me, it's not every time something happens!

Only my dear mother thinks of calling me when she misses her son. "

"Worry." Alexander said on the other side of the phone:
"Hurry up and talk.

I'm busy right now, fxxk.

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

"Ok."

As September approaches, election season is about to begin.

Abel also knew that Alexander was probably very busy now.

He went straight to the point and said, "Father, do you have Wayne LaPierre's contact information?"

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

"Well, that's how it is."

Abel spoke out about his deal with Bloomberg.

"You mean, let me call Wayne LaPierre. Tell him to meet that Yankee?"

Bloomberg was born in Massachusetts, which is in the northeastern United States.

He was also a member of the Northern Alliance back then, and he was still a hardcore member.

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

Like Texas is the backbone of the Dixie guys.

"That's right. If it's troublesome, forget it.

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

"No trouble. I'll make the call," Alexander said from there.

"Okay. Thank you, Dad."

"Yes." Alexander replied, and then said:
"Call Emily when you're free.

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

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

"I know."

"So be it. I'm going to Houston tonight."

"Ok."

The phone was hung up.
