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 adopts 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 light luxury, 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 casualty 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 he likes, such as young Ji Niangniang, KK, Lima, Eugene and so on.

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

  Combined with Victoria's Secret at this time, it is still relatively cheap.

  You can buy it and develop it for a few years, and wait for these models in the peak era to retire.

   Or after he gets tired of playing.

  Victoria’s Secret has also reached its peak 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 do it?

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

  Refused to sell Victoria's Secret.

   It made him a little uncomfortable.

  Even if Les Wexner regretted it later.

  He doesn't want it anymore.

   But the breath must be made, and at the same time he also wants to play with these models.

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

  Then. Then simply spend a similar amount of money and start another brand yourself.

  Suppress Victoria's Secret, express yourself.

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

   Those models from Age of Gods who can sign with Victoria's Secret will definitely not be able to refuse his invitation.

   So this thing goes like this.

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

   During the period, I will acquire another medium-sized underwear brand, and 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 is in the financial market and his profits are easily hundreds of millions.

   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?

  Countless facts and examples prove that Wall Street is actually a place where a group of people use finance to harvest interests and compete for interests around the world.

  In this place, financial talent cannot be used to run amok.

   Even if it can be predicted, it will not work.

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

  These hackers include but are not limited to—

  Joint operations to suppress the market,

  Investigation by relevant departments,

  Pull out the network cable directly.

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

  If it is really in the financial market, things like Goldman Sachs, MG, and Rockefeller are in 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 doesn't want to be a dog, he wants to try to be an equal to these people.

   Even above them.

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

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

   In fact, in the previous dot-com bubble event.

  By shorting, he can earn more.

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

   But he chose not to.

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

   There are more transactions in the metal market and the international foreign exchange market, and every time he tries his best to accept the deal.

  Smith Capital has been established for half a year.

  If he is unscrupulous.

  With his ability, he is in front of 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.

   The only ones who can lose tens of billions are Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, and MG.

  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 lose so much.

   There is a high probability that personal safety can 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.

   All along, Abel has tried his best to suppress his profits in the financial market.

  This is only 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.

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

   Chatted with David about the Victoria’s Secret incident, and decided to suppress Victoria’s Secret.

  The two ended the conversation in this regard.

  David is very busy,

  He supervises traders, traders,

  Effectively implement Abel's trading requirements on international crude oil futures.

   Also monitor for any signs of trouble with 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.

  Abel, on the other hand, can pat his **** and leave after drinking the Geisha coffee that David made for him.

   But he just left David's office, not the company.

  He returned to his chairman's office.

   After closing the door.

  He made 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."

   "Hey, what you said is not the same.

   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 about things.

  I'm busy right now, fxxk.

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

"Ok."

   September is approaching and election season is about to begin.

  Abel also knows that Alexander is probably very busy now.

  He went straight to the point: "Dad, do you have Wayne LaPierre's contact information?"

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

   "Well, it looks like this."

  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.

  At that time, he was also a member of the Northern Alliance, and he was still a **** member.

   Said it was a Yankee guy, no problem at all.

  Like Texas is the backbone of the Dixie guys.

   "It's not wrong. 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 over there.

   "Okay. Thank you, Dad."

   "Yes." Alexander responded, 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 have to go to Houston tonight."

"OK."

  The phone was hung up.
