Chapter 180: Daily life in New York(2/3)
Abel and Michael Levine talked about the next work of Isa Company.
"I think after the Isa show."
In the warm office, Abel said softly:
"In order to maintain the company's advantages in the same industry in the future."
"Isa Company should add a new talent department to its internal model agency."
Michael Levin asked respectfully: "What do you mean?"
"Elizabeth's back garden should become the back garden of lingerie lovers around the world."
Abel looked at him: "Our models should also be diverse. We will need to add Asian and African models later."
"The new talent department is specifically used to discover younger models with outstanding potential from all over the world."
"We want to catch all the best models in the world. What we want to do is to be the best underwear company in the world."
When he said these words, to be honest, Abel was really thinking about Elizabeth's back garden.
Including the newcomer department and increasing the diversity of models.
Victoria’s Secret seems not to have done the former.
After its reputation grew, it naturally attracted a large number of high-quality models at first.
Later, the reputation gradually faded away, and high-quality models did not come.
In the end, it had to take the road of internet celebrity.
The result is that the professionalism is getting worse and worse, and there are no new tricks in the future.
There is also a bad economic environment.
In the end, its decline was as rapid as its rise.
According to Abel's thinking, it's not easy to think of new tricks.
In terms of fresh blood, we can still think of ways.
Michael Levin thought about it and felt that the boss's request was not difficult to fulfill.
If you are looking for new people, Isa Company is now doing it.
It's just not to the extent of setting up a dedicated department.
But now the boss has said so.
Of course, Michael Levine chose to comply with this small request from his boss.
"No problem." Michael Levine said simply: "I will set up this department immediately after I go back!"
And Michael Levine would draw inferences from one instance to another. He thought for a while and added:
"Boss, I think this new department of Isa Company can be mainly placed in Dongwu, Asia and other places."
"Because in Western Europe and North America, good and high-quality supermodels are basically being watched."
"If we want to rob, it will cost more energy and money."
Abel nodded: "Since you think so, then just do as you say."
Next, the two talked about some things about Y Smith Entertainment.
At about half past five, it was almost dark in New York.
Michael Levine quickly left.
Abel got up in the office, walked to the window and looked outside.
It's snowing outside again, and it's still a howling blizzard.
According to the weather forecast, this snowstorm will be intermittent and will last from the 15th to the 20th.
After that, the northern parts of the East Coast of the United States.
It will be a period of relatively sunny weather.
All I can say is that the luck in Elizabeth's back garden was not too bad.
There really was a snowstorm of this magnitude on Christmas Eve.
Even if there is a heater, the models on the stage may not be able to bear it.
It's okay now. The weather forecast says it won't snow heavily during that period.
In that case, the heater should be able to handle it.
If next year's Isa show can still be held in Times Square.
It’s better not to do it when it’s so cold.
After thinking about it, Abel asked someone to call David Mellon in.
After David came in, Abel said directly:
"Next, Smith Capital has to do two things."
"Say it, boss!!"
Upon hearing Abel's words, David was like a wolf smelling blood.
He also thought that Abel would launch another "bloody hunt" by Smith Capital next.
Although this kind of hunting will make him very tired.
But the rewards afterwards and the sense of accomplishment from participating.
Each time, David could recall it for at least half a month.
"The first thing is to announce it to the public immediately. Smith Capital's second and third private placements will be launched at the same time."
"And increase the private placement amount to five billion US dollars."
David Mellon nodded.
As mentioned before, private equity funds in the United States are corporate.
A private equity fund is equivalent to a capital investment company.
& (Investors)’ investment is equivalent to the original shareholders who bought shares in the company.
Two fund companies
The company has already been established, and all procedures such as application for registration have been completed.
Half a month ago, you could start raising funds at any time.
You can go online at any time, just waiting for Abel to give orders.
"The second thing."
Abel thought for a while and said seriously: "From now on, we will start buying stocks of the four major investment banks in the secondary market."
"Buy stocks of the four major investment banks?" David Mellon was surprised: "It's still in the secondary market, why?"
"No reason. Just do as I say." Abel said calmly.
David Mellon did not hesitate and quickly replied: "Got it!"
David was guessing that maybe this was Abel's choice to fight back against the four major investment banks.
As for how to fight back, David didn't know.
To buy the other party’s stocks, perhaps choose to make a fuss about the other party’s stocks?
However, if it is in the secondary market, the news may leak out as soon as the acquisition is made.
If you want to acquire a large number of shares later, you will have to pay a large premium.
After explaining these two things, Abel chose to go home from get off work.
It was about six o'clock when we left Smith Building.
It's completely dark in New York.
There was heavy snow falling outside, accompanied by howling wind.
In addition, the high-rise buildings in Manhattan in the distance are shining brightly in the snow.
It made Abel feel that New York at this time had a sense of Cyber 2077.
Hiding in the warm car, Abel told the driver an address.
The convoy quickly disappeared into the wind and snow.
An hour later.
Abel got off the bus in front of an apartment building in midtown Manhattan.
Go upstairs and take the elevator.
Push open the door of the apartment that occupies an entire floor.
