Abel is very important to Alvertelli and Lana.Alvertelli.A German-American, about forty or fifty years old.A very gentle look.Lana.An Indian-American, about 40 years old.A shrewd and capable face, but very good at doing things.These two business elites have been working in Dune Road.Nominally, they've always been in the venture capital industry, but in their resumes.There are no examples of discerning companies, finding unicorns that are worth investing in, and then successfully investing in them, and finally making a profit and leaving the market.From the VC side.These two look like failures.Even if one of them has been in the KPCB to the top level.One once invested in Manulife Sim and even achieved the position of general manager.in this industry.Impeccable in terms of qualifications.In terms of resume, it can be said that there is nothing to say about the achievements of individuals in the venture capital industry.Such two people.If Abel really just runs a venture capital company, and does not manage the business himself.Then it is absolutely wrong to use such two people.The most important thing in investing in a company is vision.Investment vision.It's just Abel's company, and it's not a serious venture capital company.Although the name has the word investment in it, and the office and company are also built on Dune Road, the mecca of venture capital.But for now.Blue Star Future doesn't count like this.The investment in venture capital is not even $100 million.It's not as much as Abel paid for a private yacht.And the two of them look like this.Abel still held them in such a high esteem.In addition to the fact that they are his first two most important subordinates, there are some factors of feelings and feelings.The most important reason for the remainder.Although these two have not had a good investment vision, they have not made much achievements in the venture capital industry.But their ability to do things, as well as their ability to acquire stocks, is absolutely first-class.There were quick acquisitions of Viacom and CBS, and now the acquisition of shares in Victoria's Secret's parent company, LBrands.The speed is also fast.It's just over a day apart.After Abel replaced Gal Gadot with a fresh "liquid of life".Alvertelli's phone rang."
What's the matter?
Al. ”Abel, who was smoking a cigarette afterwards, leaned lazily on the sofa and asked softly.
“BOSS！
In connection with the acquisition of Victoria's parent company, the well-known branded clothing group LBrands.We have reached a holding of about 11%!
”“11%？
Well, that's good!
”Very good indeed.In just over 20 hours, it was possible to acquire an 11% stake in a large group company.This ability is not available to everyone.And this acquisition is still carried out in secret.It needs to be carried out separately, and it needs to be split into hundreds of investment companies with different names to disperse the acquisition.The operation in this is very complicated, and if it were played by Aberlai, he would never understand it.It's troublesome.However, if the acquisition is not made in this way, as long as the share of shares held exceeds 5%, it will need to be announced to the government and the public.This is a painful point, and it is easy for a hostile takeover to fail.Hear Abel's compliments.Alvertelli smiled modestly, "This has something to do with the overall stock market recession right now!"
Boss, though.Because yesterday's speech by Powell at the Private Economic Club in New York caused US stocks to rise sharply.We've spent a lot more, at least about $50 million more than usual. ”It's only $50 million.In just a few hours, $5.6 billion was earned.Add to that last night's more than $6.3 billion.In less than a day, Abel won about $12 billion.It was just a hair on the body of the nine cows, and he said indifferently, "It's okay to spend more money!"
We want to do it, those people just hear that we want to buy stocks, they know that we can sell them at a good price, and let me sell them to us happily!
In this way, it will be easier for us to acquire other companies in the future. ”Alvertelli was a little speechless.Other bosses and companies, even if they really want a company.To carry out hostile takeovers, all kinds of small means will be used, all kinds of bright and dark ones.to try to suppress the target company's stock price so that their acquisition can cost less.His boss doesn't mind spending more money at all, all he wants is the speed of acquisition and share.It's just against ordinary people.But that's it.Alferteli and Lana would be much easier to do, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with what their boss said.After the premium buyouts of Viacom and CBS.There is also a 20% stake in the entertainment company in the United States, but after giving 2.2 billion US dollars.Oasis Investment wants to buy someone else's shares, and the guys who are being bought seem to be quite happy.It's just that they all treat Oasis Investment as a stupid person with a lot of money, and the asking price is very exaggerated.This point requires Alvertelli and Lana to reason with the facts and convince each other.If it weren't for that.Just change someone, there is such financial support.If you are willing to spend money, except for some unwilling and sensitive industries, what company's shares cannot be acquired?"
Okay.BOSS。
”The boss told him not to save money, but to try to take the shares of LBrands.Alvertelli, of course, had to take a stand."
So far," he said.With this 11% stake, we spent $915 million!
At the current rate, if it goes well, we can achieve more than 50% control of LBrands within a week!
”"With current calculations, it will cost about $4.8 billion!"
The market capitalization of LBrands ranges from approximately $8.5 billion to $9 billion.Recently, because of Powell's speech, the U.S. stock market as a whole has risen a wave, and LBrands has also risen a little.The stock value reached $9 billion.51% of the shares, under normal circumstances, only about $4.6 billion.However, considering the premium acquisition, the purchase price of $4.8 billion is also within a reasonable range.Premiums a bit.It's a little more expensive.But it's still within acceptable limits.After thinking about it in his heart, Abel nodded, "Then go on!"
If I could, I would want more than just 51% of the shares!
More than 66% absolute holding, or even privatization is fine!
”Nominally owning 51% of the shares has reached absolute control.But if you really want absolute control, you must have at least 66% of the voting rights.With such voting rights, if you want to privatize directly, you can directly apply for delisting.It means spending money to buy all the stocks in the market and making the company a private company."
Okay.Wait for our good news, BOSS!
”"Hmmm!
I'll be waiting for you, Al.I hope that in a week, Victoria's Secret will be in my pocket!
”"No problem!
BOSS!”"
Uh-huh!
Let's get to work. ”"......" ended the call.Abel turned his head, but saw Gal Gadot on the bed, looking at him with a pair of big bright eyes."
You want to send a Victoria's Secret?!"
She had apparently heard the conversation between Abel and Alvertelli."
Hmm.""
Exactly.It is the acquisition of LBrands Group.This company is named, although Victoria's Secret is the most famous.But there are several other brands as well. ”"I know!"
Gal Gadot sat up from the bed, but felt cold underneath.Well......
Something in the stomach was leaking out because of the sitting position.She doesn't care anymore.So much.It's also normal to flow out.She was numb to this.But when it comes to fashion brands, Gal Gadot is in high spirits, even if he is sore, as if he has just been demolished."
They have a lot of brands!
But the most famous is Victoria's Secret, when I first came to the United States, I wanted to be a model for Victoria's Secret!
”"But they didn't accept me!"
Gal Gadot said.Is there anything else going on?
But Gal Gadot seemed to be really a model at the beginning.In addition to the European vote, most of the models still want to be Victoria's Secret supermodels.In terms of normal catwalk income, the top supermodels may be about the same.But in terms of endorsement and exposure and popularity, Victoria's Secret models, especially the selected super models, are definitely beating the entire modeling industry.Gal Gadot understandably wanted to be a model for Victoria's Secret in the beginning.It's also normal that Victoria's Secret didn't pick her.There are not too many models who want to become Victoria's Secret every year, and there will be so many omissions in it, which is normal.Perhaps, it could be said.Models who are not selected may even be in better shape, more professional, and better looking.This kind of thing.It can only be said that it is luck.Abel jokingly said, "No."
Wait until I succeed in acquiring LBrands.After being that man in Victoria's Secret, let you go to Victoria's Secret to become a supermodel?
”Gal Gadot was excited.Supermodel!
One of the dreams of her modeling days.But it soon calmed down.Lack of interest: "I'm an actor now!"
signed a four-part contract with Time Warner, and only two have been filmed so far.If it was before, I would like to go.For now, forget it. ”Her current identity is a quasi-first-line celebrity in Hollywood, a standard Hollywood star.This level is much higher than that of Victoria's Secret supermodels.Then I went to be a model or something.It seems to be a bit of a drop.But it doesn't matter.Abel has a way.He said: "I heard that this year's Victoria's Secret Victoria's Secret show, the sky-high price of underwear is only more than 1 million US dollars?
Tsk, it seems that the underwear at the beginning cost 15 million dollars!
It's really going back more and more!
”"If I become the boss of Victoria's Secret!

The new Victoria's Secret show, that set of sky-high underwear, starts at least $50 million!
$1 million underwear, what kind of sky-high underwear!
Even those luxury brands may have underwear of this value!
”$50 million worth of sky-high underwear!
As soon as Gal Gadot heard this.My eyes lit up a little.Victoria's Secret's sky-high underwear is not absent every year, and the price varies from high to low, but there are only two pieces that can be sold: in addition to the one worn by Taima, the second one was worn by Alexandre Ambrosio in 2012, about 2.5 million US dollars.Even if two pieces are sold, the price of Victoria's Secret Dream Bra is mostly around $3 million, and only a few pieces in the tens of millions.But in the eyes of industry insiders, although Victoria's Secret is indeed getting worse and worse, it has been losing money.But the reason why I don't make sky-high underwear is probably not because I have no money, but just because those tens of millions of sky-high underwear can't be sold at all.It's better to sell one for one or two million.It's just that I didn't expect that even if it was one or two million, it wouldn't be able to sell.It's also a bad reputation.Abel didn't know that.He simply felt that Victoria's Secret was getting worse and worse, and he should have run out of money.For a person like him who falls into the eye of money, he doesn't think about it so much.But Gal Gadot knew.The sky-high price of underwear of 50 million US dollars is very exciting to listen to!
But will there be any fools to buy this kind of sky-high underwear?
The price is $50 million, and the cost is $500,000!
She said: "$50 million in sky-high underwear!
Who can afford it?
Now no one buys even one or two million dollars of underwear. ”"What does it matter?
Victoria's Secret gang of people, the cost of making underwear is so low, but they dare to sell it for one or two million.A fool would want to buy it, if it were me......
I will give the new sky-high price underwear, plus some value-for-money gifts, and guarantee that a large number of people will buy it!
”Gal Gadot nodded slightly.It seems like a good idea.If Victoria's Secret's sky-high price underwear is not just pure jewelry and gemstones, but also some other expensive things.It is likely that someone will actually buy it.Abel continued."
For example, for the new sky-high underwear, one on the left and one on the left and one bra, inlaid with jewelry worth more than 20 million US dollars, the left and right two will cost 40 million US dollars!
Plus some other packages, the cost is 50 million US dollars!
If you buy it for $50 million, will anyone be unwilling to buy it?
”"Another example, buy underwear and give away a luxury yacht......
I'm sure there will be people interested too!
”Pulling two crooked ideas, Abel didn't feel anything.Gal Gadot thought it was very interesting.She said with great interest."
Pink Star!
Harry Winston Blue Diamond!
These two gemstones, one costs more than 23 million US dollars, which adds up to more than 46 million US dollars!
Inlay them, and the sky-high price underwear will definitely sell!
”"What's that?""
Two gems!
is in the top 10 most expensive jewels in the world, ranked 10th and 9th!
”When it comes to shiny jewelry and the like, Gal Gadot is no different from any other woman."
The Pink Star, a very rare pink diamond, probably the largest pink diamond in the world, was sold for $23.2 million at Christie's in Hong Kong. ”"[Harry Winston Blue Diamond]!
Successfully sold at Christie's Britannia and possibly the world's largest blue diamond weighing 13.22 carats, at least the largest in 2014!
$23.8 million!
”While saying this.Gal Gadot's tone was excited, and his expression was not calm.It's not at all like the despair of the night before, after being forced by Abel to oxo.This is what it looks like.Abel seemed to see a dead fat house, discussing with himself the sky-high price figurines he couldn't get.Well......
It seems that this is not wrong.Jewelry is like a sky-high figure to a woman."
How do you know so much about this?"
Abel asked casually.Gal Gadot was bored all of a sudden."
I'm a woman.It's normal to like these things!
Although I probably can't afford it in my life, there's nothing wrong with understanding it, right?
”Abel raised his eyebrows."
Can't afford it for just over $20 million?"
He didn't have much idea of gems and jewelry.This thing cannot be eaten, and it cannot be used.It's so expensive, but it doesn't work in the slightest.It's just rubbish.What's more, he also knows very well that the number of diamonds in jewelry is the item.It's an amazing world super scam!
A kind of thing that is so abundant in South African mines that it can be used as sand to build a house has been sold for a sky-high price.The group of people who sold diamonds in the first place.is the real super marketing master!"
More than $20 million!"
Gal Gadot shook his head.Look at the way she longs.Abel's heart moved, and he suddenly whispered, "What kind of gem did you say, do you really want it?!"
”"Of course!"
Gal Gadot said it as a matter of course."
There's not a woman who doesn't want it, right?!

Jewelry is a kind of fantasy for women!
”She lifted a slender hand.It was her left hand, with a diamond ring on it, and she had a sad expression and a low voice, "18 carats, the heart of Aaron Gadot, $1.36 million ......."
Abel didn't have to think about it to know that it might be her and her husband's wedding ring.He stood up unhappily and ripped off the ring from Gal Gadot's hand before she could react."
What are you going to do?!"
When Gal Gadot exclaimed.I went to the bathroom, threw it in the toilet, and pressed the flush button.Gal Gadot rushed over and reached out in a panic to get his ring out of the toilet."
My ring!
Ring......!!!!!!
”But it was too late.At the Hilton, a powerful toilet flushes underneath.The ring was long gone, and it went into the sewers.Gal Gadot was stunned.He sat down on the ground in a daze."
It's gone!
It's all gone......" she muttered to herself.Seeing her like this, Abel pulled her up very unpleasantly, took off his shorts, and pressed her to the closed toilet.The domineering said, "Wait a minute, buy a bigger one for you!"
If you don't, you're almost divorced anyway!!
”After entering.Gal Gadot let out a muffled grunt.He added in her ear, "Don't you really want those top 10 jewels in the world or something?"
What Pink Star?
What Blue Diamond?
Give me a baby, and I'll give you a jewel of this value!
”Hearing these domineering words, Gal Gadot, who endured that feeling of explosion, couldn't help but turn around.Subconsciously: "What you said is true?!"
”"Of course!
I do what I say!
What do you want?
”"Princess Catarina Henkel von Donasmarck's Emerald Diamond Tiara!""
King's Heart!""
Graff Peacock Brooch!""
Chopard 201-Carat!"
In the extreme blur of loss and gain, entry and exit, Gal Gadot reported a lot of names indiscriminately.Here are the names of some of the famous jewelry and jewelry she has seen."
Okay!
If you give birth to one, I'll buy you one!
If you have the ability, I will give you all the top 10 most expensive jewels in the world, so what's the matter!
”"Uh-huh!"
Gal Gadot went straight to Climax.
