America’s Road To Wealth

Chapter 82: The so-called first lady in New York

  Chapter 82 The so-called first lady in New York

  Manhattan, Upper East Side.

  A black Maybach 62s on the side of the road, with Abel sitting in the rear compartment.

  He watched as Ikana took a Mercedes-Benz S sedan and slowly drove to his Maybach 62s.

  Ikana lowered the glass in the rear of the Mercedes-Benz and waved in his direction.

  Abel also lowered the glass and smiled back at her.

   Waiting for the Mercedes-Benz to drive away, he raised the glass up.

   Then lie down on the soft and comfortable seat in the most comfortable position.

  He looked up, looking at the ceiling of the carriage with beautiful glazed star lights.

   "Oh, fishing."

   "I just don't know who is caught and who is fishing. Who is prey and who is hunter."

  He shook his head amusedly.

  As far as he knows, Ikana is definitely not as calm as she is now.

  YKM’s failure in the second round of financing is by no means as easy as she just described.

  The second round of financing of YKM failed.

  The real reason is that YKM's round of financing and today's valuation are too inflated.

   This may even involve fraud.

   If any organization intervenes in the investigation, it may even become a fraud!

  YKM is a clothing brand.

  The speed of development is not bad.

  It has only been established for three years, and its valuation reached 300 million U.S. dollars in the first year.

  700 million in the second year, and 1.1 billion U.S. dollars in the third year of this year.

   Doesn't look like much,

   But you must know that YKM is now just a company without a factory.

   It is only a medium-sized clothing brand with 50 chain stores in several big cities such as Los Angeles and New York.

  The valuation has come to an exaggerated $1.1 billion.

  L Brands, which owns the Victoria's Secret brand and has more than 300 stores in the United States, is valued at about 1.5 billion US dollars.

  YKM He De He Neng, worth 1.1 billion?

   Just because it's more famous in the media?

   Or is it that she sells a lot of clothes?

   Obviously not, and investors are not stupid.

  The bank that gave it this valuation is not stupid either.

   The reason why ykm is so valuable is actually because of its 50 stores.

   Almost half of them are self-owned properties, in other words, these shops are not rented.

   But YKM's own.

  YKM is valued at US$1.1 billion because its own assets are worth more than US$600 million.

  Plus the brand value, and Ikana's marketing ability.

  The valuation will reach an exaggerated $1.1 billion.

   Even so, this valuation is obviously inflated.

  Ikana’s second round of financing, she wants a valuation of at least 1 billion US dollars.

   Investors are not stupid, of course they don’t want to.

   Its second round of financing has been put on hold.

  As far as Abel knows, YKM's valuable properties.

   is actually Ikana's father, who belongs to D. Ted Lerner.

  D·Ted Lerner used these properties as investments and invested in a round of YKM.

   Among the current shareholders of YKM, Ikana herself only holds 26% of the shares.

  Her father's shareholding ratio is as high as 48%.

  So YKM's name is "Miss Ikana", and Ikana is also the founder and CEO herself.

  But in fact, who is the boss of this company can be known by looking at the shareholding ratio.

  Lerner's method is not clever, and the investors are not stupid.

   This made YKM’s second round of financing fail.

   got YKM and Ikana in trouble now.

  The media and the general public are chasing and boasting about the young, beautiful and successful Ikana.

  And in the eyes of a sensible person who has found out all this.

  Everyone knows that this is just D. Ted Lerner, a guy who is super good at hype, using his daughter to carry out a capital hype.

   It's just that his daughter is indeed capable, and she has excellent looks and figure.

  The hype was relatively successful this time, and the fame of the number one socialite in New York was abruptly hyped.

   This makes other rich New Yorkers envious.

  Because their daughters or offspring,

  Even if they wanted to be fired like this, they couldn't be successfully fired like Ikana.

  Forging iron needs to be hard, no matter how good the blacksmith is.

  If the iron itself is a piece of waste, it will not be able to make good iron.

  The situation of the father-daughter duo Ikana and Ted.

   That is, iron is a good material, but the skills and strength of the blacksmiths who forge it are not good enough.

  So Ikana still deserves the two honors of "other people's child" and "New York's first lady".

   These are after the last date.

   Abel through David, and other channels.

  Find out about D·Ikana Lerner and D·Ted Lerner.

These things,

  Parallel time and space, he who is far away in the celestial dynasty doesn't know it.

  Even the local ordinary people and the media, not many people know about it.

  Abel is also the second generation who has a top network like David around him, coupled with the particularity of his own industry.

   was able to figure it out so clearly.

   Otherwise, he would be considered an ordinary New York rich man.

   It is impossible to know the details of her family and her.

   "Since she hasn't directly asked me for help now, it means that the matter has not yet reached the point where the fire is imminent."

   "Then just ignore it."

  Thinking like this, he took out a note from his pocket, handed it to the driver in front of him, Dex, and said, "Let's go to this place."

  The driver Dexter took it, looked at it, and found that it was a block in the upper city.

   "Okay. BOSS." After agreeing, Dex drove away.

   A convoy of three vehicles slowly drove into the streets of Manhattan.

   Half an hour later, the vehicle arrived at the destination.

   This is Upper Manhattan, a 20-story apartment building.

  The location of this apartment is good, with roads on both sides.

  The north side is also separated by a main road, which is on the side of the Hudson River facing Queens.

  The houses here are cheaper than those in the Upper West and Upper East.

  But if you can really buy real estate here, even if it's just a small apartment.

  Then this person can definitely be regarded as the upper middle class in the United States.

  After arriving at the destination, Abel didn't get off the car immediately.

  Lincoln and the bodyguard of the car behind, the three got out of the car first to check the surroundings.

A few minutes later,

  Lincoln goes back to Abel's car window, and Abel lowers some of the glass a bit.

   "BOSS. No problem, Level 1 security environment." The black bodyguard Lincoln said.

  Abel nodded, picked up his cell phone and made a call.

   "Hi, Liv. I'm downstairs from you."

   "Oh~ I'll go down and pick you up!"

   On the other side of the phone,

  In an apartment on the seventh floor of the apartment building.

   Liv Tyler, who was watching a talk show with a teddy bear in her arms, quickly stood up.

"OK."

  Abel's voice rang on the phone, and he hung up quickly.

   Liv stood up, she was going to go out straight away in her pajamas.

   But she stopped suddenly, turned and went back to the bedroom.

   Ten minutes later,

   Liv Tyler, who changed her clothes and put on some makeup by the way, returned to the living room.

  She found the huge floor-to-ceiling glass in the living room, and looked at her beautiful and tall self inside.

   Only then nodded in satisfaction, then put on glasses and a peaked cap.

   Then he turned and left the house, and went downstairs to pick up someone.
