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 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 buy 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 Little Plum once, or the 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 it's easy to sell Victoria's Secret at that time.

You can not only play with the most eye-catching 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 regrets 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...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 find 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.

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.

In this place, you can't rely entirely on financial talent to get ahead unimpeded.

Not even if it can 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,

Investigation by relevant departments,

Unplug the network cable directly.

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

What if in the financial market, things like Goldman Sachs, MG, and Rockefeller were pushed to the limit?

They will definitely resort to 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 an equal with 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 short selling, he can definitely make more.

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

But he didn't choose to do this.

He would rather make billions less, but also 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 beat the instinct of financial capital to snowball.

At this time, his net worth is estimated to have surpassed that of the current richest man, Mr. Bill Gates.

If this is the case, endless troubles will follow.

Because many aspects of 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 had been from China, these guys would have lost so much.

There is a high probability that personal safety can be ensured.

But he is an old American, and he would not be protected by someone 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.

Only when he has the ability to bug,

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

It's not that he doesn't know that he can earn more by 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 traders, the traders,

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

Also monitor for any turmoil related to Smith Capital.

Sometimes I have to be Abel’s capital nanny,
