America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 72 The Nature of Wall Street



Beyond marketing and hype.

Another decisive factor in Victoria's Secret's success is that it actually adopts an affordable style.

Through constant hype and marketing, it gives people the feeling that this is a luxury product that 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 quick luxury.

This sense of contrast greatly promoted its sales.

This is its second selling point and 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 fluke in his business plan.

At first he wanted to acquire Victoria's Secret, but suddenly he remembered the Victoria's Secret models of this era.

There are many models he lusts after, such as the young Ji Niangniang, KK, Lima, Eugene and so on.

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

Plus, Victoria’s Secret is relatively cheap at this time.

You can buy it and develop it for a few years until these models retire at their peak.

Or when he gets tired of playing.

Victoria's Secret has also reached its highest value, and then it is easy to sell Victoria's Secret.

You can not only play with the most dazzling models in the Age of Gods, but also earn billions of dollars.

Why not?

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

Refuse to sell Victoria’s Secret.

This made him a little unhappy.

Even if Les Wexner regretted it later.

He doesn't want it anymore either.

But this tone must be spoken, and at the same time, he also wants to play with these models.

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

Then, just spend the same amount of money and start another brand yourself.

Suppress Victoria's Secret and use your own words.

He believes that in the face of more exposure opportunities and more generous rewards.

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

So that's it.

He planned to approach Michael Levine and ask him to plan such a company.

During this period, we acquired another medium-sized underwear brand and directly followed the Victoria's Secret approach to this underwear brand.

It would be best if it succeeds, but if it fails, it will only result in a loss of hundreds of millions of dollars.

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

It's really nothing.

Mainly, Abel has seen through the nature 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 and compete for profits around the world.

This is a place where financial genius is not the only way to get ahead.

Not even if it could be predicted.

In this place, if you are too dazzling, it will be easy to be tricked.

These black hands include but are not limited to -

Joint operation to suppress the market,

Relevant departments investigate,

Unplug the network cable directly.

Seriously, even a convertible and a deep well ice gunner package.

If in the financial market, things like Goldman Sachs, MG, and Rockefeller were forced to panic.

They will definitely use physical means directly.

There are only two ways to avoid this situation.

One is development. Before they use this method to successfully eliminate you, 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 equal to these people.

Even above them.

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

This includes but is not limited to early social silence and caution in financial operations.

In fact, during the previous dot-com bubble.

By going short, he could make more.

For example, he can make more money by shorting options than by simply shorting company stocks.

But he didn't choose to do that.

He would rather make billions less and keep a low profile and be safe.

There were many more transactions in the metal market and the international foreign exchange market, and every time he tried to close the deal as soon as possible.

Smith Capital has been established for half a year.

If he is unscrupulous.

With his ability, he was able to get ahead of the snowballing instinct of financial capital.

At this time, his net worth is estimated to have exceeded 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 make tens of billions, which means someone loses tens of billions.

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

He dared to let them lose so much, when his feet were not stable.

Then they dare to make him disappear directly.

If he were from China, these guys would have lost so much.

It will most likely ensure personal safety.

But he is an old beauty, and he would not be protected by a guy of the same level.

To make them lose so much is probably because of their imagination.

Abel has been trying his best to suppress his profits in the financial market.

This is why when he has the BUG ability,

It took ten months to accumulate a net worth of billions today.

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

But he was cautious and didn't dare to make so much.

After chatting with David about the Victoria’s Secret incident, I decided to suppress Victoria’s Secret.

The two ended their conversation in this regard.

David is very busy;

He wants to supervise the operators and traders,

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

Also keep an eye out for any turmoil related to Smith Capital.

Sometimes I have to be Abel’s capital nanny,

Help him contact and acquire companies that he likes.

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

Buy the shares of CAA.

Abel, on the other hand, could just finish the cup of Gesha coffee that David made for him, slap his butt and leave.

But he only 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 answered.

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

Good afternoon, Dad.

Tell me what you want from me. You guy, if you call me, there must be something wrong.

Hey, that's not the same thing.

When you call me, nothing happens every time!

Only my dear mother would remember to call me when she misses her son.

That's long-winded. Alexander on the other side of the phone said:

“Speak quickly.

I'm very busy now, fxxk.

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

All right.

September is approaching and election season is about to begin.

Abel also knew that Alexander was most likely very busy right 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's like this.

Abel spoke out about his deal with Bloomberg.

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

Bloomberg was born in Massachusetts, a state in the northeastern United States.

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

It's no problem at all to say he's gay.

Just like Texas is the backbone of the Dixie Guys.

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

This guy's kindness is not to this level. Abel said.

No trouble. I'll make the call. Alexander said over there.

Okay. Thank you, Dad.

Yeah. Alexander responded, and then said:

“Call Emily when you have time.

I am very busy now, and she is even busier.

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

I know.

That's it. I have to go to Houston tonight.

OK.

The call was hung up.
