American winner takes all

Chapter 401 A million profits

The question is is she really considering suing for peace?
Ethan doesn’t think so.

"Of course, as you said, if you have money, we can all make it together. There is no need to fight among ourselves." Ethan repeated what she had just said.

The two of them seemed harmonious and looked like friends they hadn't seen for a long time, but little did they know that they also had their own agendas.

After exchanging pleasantries with Sarah Douglas, the model took the vehicle prepared by Victoria's Secret and headed to the hotel where she was staying. Due to the tight preparation time, the rehearsal will take place in a few hours.

"Do you have any other plans for the afternoon?" Giselle said with inexplicable hope.

"Of course." Ethan nodded.

Giselle's expression immediately darkened.

"But no matter how important the arrangement is, it is not as important as you." Ethan's tone changed.

"You just like to make fun of me." She said angrily, but the little bird got into Ethan's arms lovingly, hugged him, and was unwilling to let go.

Gisele Bundchen's twin sister Patricia suddenly seemed a little enlightened when she saw the two's intimate behavior.

"The two of them have gone far away, why are you still standing here?" A voice came from beside her, it was Stephanie Seymour.

Patricia just woke up from a dream and whispered, "Nothing." Then she quickly followed.

Outside the airport hall was the bus arranged by Victoria's Secret. Ethan and Gisele got on the stage immediately. Gisele pulled Ethan and sat in the corner of the last row.

As the models got on the car and took their seats, the vehicle set off.

"Okay, okay, there will be time for you two to make out in the room later." Stephanie Seymour looked at Ethan's collar and neck, with lip marks all over his face, and said angrily.

At this time, Giselle was taking out a tissue and wiping Ethan carefully.

"You two should get married quickly!" Patricia, who was sitting next to Giselle, also complained.

"You look really anxious. Are you anxious for me or for yourself?" Giselle tilted her head and said with a smile.

"I have nothing to worry about." Patricia smiled self-deprecatingly.

On the other side, Ethan was chatting with Stephanie Seymour and Tyra Banks who were sitting in the front row.

Stephanie Seymour sacrificed herself for the Angels cheerleading team, which directly led to the most watched live broadcast accident in history.

She seemed very calm and said that next year she would completely fade out of the modeling circle.

"I've made enough money, and it's time for me to quit." Stephanie said with some sadness.

"What are you going to do next? Be a full-time housewife at home, take care of your husband and raise your children?" Ethan said with a smile.

"There are so many servants in the house, I am not needed, and I am too lazy to do these things. As for what to do in the future, I think it is better to let nature take its course." Stephanie shook her head.

"In that case, I have an idea. I wonder if you are interested in going to the West Coast to teach at Angel Academy and guide the team members' physical aspects." Ethan suggested.

Angel Academy provides all-round training for team members in various skills, so it is undoubtedly appropriate for Stephanie to teach them.

"Idle time is free, why not?" Stephanie thought for a moment, but did not refuse.

"Hey, everyone has started arranging retirement life for Stephanie, but some people still have nothing to do."

At this moment, another voice came. It turned out to be Tyra Banks, who was sitting next to Stephanie, speaking.

She didn't know why she looked dissatisfied at the moment.

When Ethan asked, he learned that Tyra Banks had received almost no work since she switched jobs to work for Ethan.

Speaking of which, this incident is abnormal enough. Tyra Banks is also an A-list supermodel and never lacks job opportunities. Someone is obviously causing trouble here.

"Oscar de la Renta has been signing with me as a promotional model for many years, but this year the brand not only did not renew my contract, but instead cooperated with a model under Sarah Douglas." Tyra Banks said meaningfully.

"You mean, she interfered and recommended others to the brand?"

"Otherwise?" Tyra Banks said sullenly.

The seriousness of this matter is even more serious than direct poaching.

As an already famous model, Tyra Banks naturally has some long-term partners, so she is very sensitive to this kind of thing.

But Gisele and the others have just become famous, and Sarah Douglas's little tricks will not be noticed at all.

By extension, how many job offers from Gisele Bundchen and others were snatched away by Sarah?
In the past, when Ethan was just starting out, he had to cooperate with Sarah Douglas. Now, in a sense, this cooperation has become a hindrance to further development.

Obviously, there is no need for the two to continue to cooperate.

As for the predicament of Tyra Banks at hand, Ethan is not troubled.

"I will let other agents take charge of your business." Ethan said.

The model company we just acquired also came in handy.

In addition, Ethan also put Tyra Banks on the show "Searching Angels" as a judge, and he called Michael Ovitz directly.

Tyra Banks' problem was solved in three clicks. Tyra Banks himself did not expect this. Although he was surprised, he was also a little angry. What surprised me was the vastness of Ethan's power, but what made him angry was that Ethan clearly had this ability, but he waited until he took the initiative to speak up before helping to deal with it.

"Have you forgotten me?" Tyra Banks realized something and gritted her teeth angrily.

After all, I am also a famous model, but you never took me seriously from the beginning!
Ethan sneered twice and was about to explain, but Gisele Bundchen next to him said faintly: "You are not the only model signed. If you have anything to do, just go to Ethan. Do you want him to take the initiative to find him?" You?"

Obviously defending Ethan.

Tyra smiled slightly, but she figured it out, and said, "Then don't be angry when I harass Ethan in the future."

Giselle curled her lips: "If I were jealous and angry if she was a woman, wouldn't I be angry to death a long time ago?"

"Okay. Then I'm relieved." Tyra was not angry and nodded.

She now also realizes that Ethan has a lot of resources at hand. He had to take the initiative to extract it so that Ethan could spit it out obediently.

At this time, the bus also arrived at its destination, a high-end hotel next to Bryant Park. Like the airport, a large number of model fans gathered on the street.

The Bundchen sisters were arranged in the same room, which was a standard double room.

Before the two came to New York, they had just worked for more than ten hours non-stop. They just took a nap on the plane. When the plane landed, they were particularly excited to see Ethan, whom they missed so much. At this moment, exhaustion came over them, and the two sisters lay upright. On their own beds.

"Ethan, help me take off my shoes. These shoes are not breathable. They cover my feet with sweat and are sticky. They are not comfortable at all." Giselle said in a sweet voice.

Of course Ethan is happy to help. Gisele is wearing a pair of blue printed pointed-toe JIMMY CHOO high heels today. The ankles are fixed with golden rings. They fit well on Gisele's feet and give her a ladylike temperament.

Fingertips lightly brushed against the calf.

Giselle felt a tickle and giggled.

"My dear, it turns out you like my shoes so much." Giselle raised her feet consciously: "Then let's use these shoes tonight, okay?" She raised her head and teased.

"Ahem, that's enough for you two! There are others here." Patricia reminded the two of them immediately after hearing what Giselle said.

"It's you who should go! Lightbulb." Giselle muttered, feeling that her twin sister was in the way.

"This is my room, I'm not going anywhere!" Patricia expressed her attitude.

Giselle couldn't do anything to her and looked at Ethan helplessly. There wasn't much rest time. Gisele originally wanted to make out with Ethan for a while and then attend rehearsals, but Patricia didn't give her a chance at all.

Ethan didn't mind at all, and even said: "I'm just worried that she will run away."

He took the initiative to pull away the quilt and lay down on the same bed as Giselle.

This time it was Giselle's turn to be shy.

She pressed Ethan's hand.

"Patricia, listen." Giselle said with a blush.

"It's just because she listens that it's interesting." Ethan was not ready to stop.

Giselle was no match for Ethan. After struggling a few times, she finally obeyed.

At first she was a little dissatisfied and glared at Ethan a few times, but not long after, she started to cover her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from making any sound.

"Honey, stop, I'm begging you," Giselle trembled.

Then it became unbearable, and Giselle gave out a flurry of exhortations.

"You always bully me!"

She rolled her eyes at Ethan, and then took the initiative to wipe Ethan's hands.

"Sparkling like a diamond."

"Shut up!"

"Disgusting!"

"How dare you despise me!?"

On the other side, Patricia faced the wall, listening to the whispers of Giselle and Ethan, her brows furrowed and her face red as if blood was oozing out.

Ethan seemed to only have an action on one person, but the effect was on two people.

After playing and having fun, considering that the rehearsal was coming soon, Ethan still let Giselle take a nap. Originally, he wanted to watch Giselle and the others' rehearsal in person, but a phone call interrupted all his plans.

"Mr. Wexner, I would like to treat you to dinner tonight." Razek said on the phone.

What is the boss behind Victoria’s Secret looking for? While he was confused, Ethan also knew that he and he would have to meet each other. Thinking of this, Ethan and Razek decided on a time.

When Giselle regained consciousness, Ethan told her about Wexner's invitation.

Giselle imagined: "He took the initiative to send an invitation. Maybe he needs your help. I think this is a good thing."

"It's great that you are finally leaving." Patricia showed relief at Ethan's temporary departure.

Giselle was able to fall asleep and take a nap just now, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what. She started to feel inexplicably upset as soon as she closed her eyes. As for the reason, she couldn't tell, she just thought it was Ethan's arrival that disturbed her.

Ethan separated from the two at the hotel, but when he arrived at the meeting place, he only saw Razek sitting here alone.

"Wexner won't arrive for another ten minutes." Razek asked Ethan to sit down.

Ethan took the opportunity to ask about the reason for Wexner's invitation. Razek also felt confused. He had just received a call from Mr. Wexner and immediately informed Ethan.

Since Razek didn't know about it, it proves that it has nothing to do with Victoria's Secret.

Since it has nothing to do with Victoria's Secret, there is no need to find him.

Unless, someone is pulling the strings... Ethan falls into speculation.

Ethan felt that there was only one person who could bridge the gap between him and Wexner.

Sure enough, as Wexner walked into the box, Ethan saw Epstein following him.

He also nodded slightly to Ethan as a greeting.

Razek came alone, but Epstein was able to be with Wexner. Obviously, the relationship between Wexner and Epstein was closer.

Ethan stood up and formally greeted Wexner.

Like most wealthy people, Wexner looked rosy.

He held Ethan's hand, but was unwilling to let go for a long time: "Ethan O'Connor, a player, but not just a player. Your vision and thinking are probably incomparable to all NFL managers combined."

"No, it's just a matter of luck." Ethan said extremely modestly.

"Epstein also talked to me about you more than once. I have wanted to meet you for a long time."

"Really?" Ethan looked at Epstein, and the two looked at each other again.

There is no way, in order to meet the family's request not to alert others, Ethan and Epstein are now real partners.

When Wexner sat down, Epstein took the initiative to pull out the chair for him and put a napkin on him. He was more attentive than serving his own father.

Objectively speaking, Wexner did treat Epstein better than his biological father.

Without Wexner's help, Epstein would still be a notorious financial liar.

If Wexner had not entrusted him with his personal fortune, Epstein would not have made a dime, let alone the deep connections he would later develop.

That’s why when Ethan met Epstein for the first time, he said that he was a pretty boy raised by Wexner.

While drinking and drinking, Wexner also mentioned the purpose of inviting Ethan to meet this time.

"CBS Lion opened his mouth. Not only does it require us to pay additional production costs, but it also takes almost all of the copyright revenue. He treats us as advertisers." Wexner said with a cigar in his hand and puffed away.

“So, why not make your own show?”

"Victoria's Secret just doesn't have a lot of experience in this area. The online broadcast of the Super Bowl last year was a mess, so why not work with an external third party? Outsource the production of the TV show."

"I think your program "Looking for Angels" is very good. Since you have mature experience and are involved in Victoria's Secret, I think our cooperation can definitely reach a higher level."

Epstein was also there as a reminder that it was time to invite Ethan to come up with a suitable price.

Ethan immediately expressed his gratitude to Wexner for the olive branch and offered a relatively low price on the spot.

The two sides hit it off immediately.

The Victoria's Secret show is outsourced to myself. This business itself is not very profitable, but it has great power. You must know that this show is the foundation of Victoria's Secret. It can be said that I have been deeply involved in the establishment of the Victoria's Secret brand. Which model should be the finale and which model should wear it? Everything depends on the opinions of the program producers.

This is like a competition. Ethan is both a contestant and a judge, so he will naturally win the final victory.

Moreover, the Victoria's Secret Show is not just this one, it will be held every year in the future.

Victoria's Secret makes money, and Ethan uses this platform to give both parties what they need. No matter how you look at it, it will be a hugely profitable cooperation.

Epstein gave himself a big gift, but he was not a philanthropist, and he obviously had his own purpose in doing so.

Ethan looked at Razek sitting next to him. His expression was not very good. Apparently he was in charge before the program was produced...
