I’m in Hollywood Chapter 1163: WM
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Although it is Saturday, because Eric promised to visit WM today, Carmen Case woke up very early.
Leave the man's arms lightly, get dressed, and start preparing breakfast.
In recent days, after negotiations with Paul Roland, Carmen Case successfully bought a 30% stake in WM and became a shareholder of professional model Brokerage Firm, a small and well-known company in New York. Eric also bought it in a private name. Another 10% of the shares.
The scale of WM is far from comparable to the giants such as Elite and IMG, but after many years of operation by Paul · Roland, the foundation is not bad. The company has a fixed contract professional model team with more than 300 people in North America and Europe. The profit scale in recent years has been between 5 million and 7million USD.
Considering that the Firefly system may contribute to the further development of WM, Paul Roland agreed to the shareholding proposals of Carmen Case and Eric with little hesitation, and only valued WM company at a price-earnings ratio of 10 It is 60 million USD.
For the valuation of 60 million USD, the price of 30% of the shares is 18 million USD.
Two contracts that Carmen Case now owns. The endorsement fee for Victoria’s Secret is five years 10 million USD, and the endorsement fee for Dior true self perfume is five years 5 million USD. For her professional model, which has just begun to make a head start, and has not officially landed on the Victoria’s SecretT platform, both contracts are absolutely generous.
However, even if both of these money are paid in, minus the high taxes and Brokerage Firm, etc., she can finally get 8 million USD.
8 million USD was obviously unable to pay the cost of WM's 30% of the shares, but she did not mean to ask Eric for help. Although 18 million USD was totally worthless to him, she still negotiated an instalment contract with Paul Roland.
So, she signed her name on the equity transfer book, and she felt a little more at ease in her heart. Even if he is not interested in himself in the future, no matter whether it is mind or material, she can still get a support. After all, this profession of professional model cannot be done for too long.
Always think that even if you do n’t get a lot of love, it ’s good to get a lot of money.
People cannot be too greedy.
Being busy in the kitchen, with her arms behind her, she stopped her hand and kissed the man with her head, saying, "I made a ham sandwich."
Eric chin rested on the girl ’s shoulder and said, "I will try it."
So he twisted a piece of freshly cut ham and handed it over.
Eric opened his mouth to bite and tasted: "Is it good to eat only ham?"
She bent her mouth: "Not good."
"Then consider as finished," the man seemed to speak well, and kissed Carmen Case on the cheek, without disturbing her for breakfast, and turned out of the kitchen.
After a while, she came out with the prepared breakfast, and he was already sitting in the restaurant watching newspaper.
Two breakfasts, he is very rich, but she is just a fruit salad, because he is here, he has prepared a glass of milk for himself.
Prepare two plates. She sat down opposite, watched the man put down the newspaper, and began to eat. Somehow, she felt at home, so she asked the man ’s work softly like a little woman: “Recently Was that technology stock falling sharply? "
Eric habitually took a sip of the milk on hand and nodded and smiled: "Yeah, I only have 450billion USD left. In two weeks, I lost one Bill · Gates plus one Warren Buffett."
She naturally also knows Bill · Gates and Warren Buffett, and also knows that Eric's net worth has shrunk by 1more than 70 billion USD in two weeks.
170billion USD is enough to buy all Estonia, or, more accurately, enough to buy several Estonia.
Privately secretly because so much money disappeared in private, I felt a bit distressed. I also imagined how to spend so much money, but failed to get an answer.
Taking the man's appearance and taking a sip of milk, she said: "That's a lot of money, you can't spend all your life."
Eric listened to the girl and suddenly realized that she rarely shouted his name directly. When talking to him, she would either use the name ‘you’ or she would look directly at it, and no title was needed.
Noticing the man ’s eyes, she was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"I found a problem," Eric smiled and said, "What should you call me?"
She misunderstood the meaning of a man, her face suddenly turned a little ruddy, she picked and picked between the intimate words commonly used by people in United States, and finally only said: "Ai, Eric."
Eric nodded and was about to speak, but suddenly realized that he seemed to have the same problem.
In public, Eric has become accustomed to the conversation mode of Westerners, but privately, Eric also does not like to call the names of people around him directly.
It seems that after all, he has not fully integrated into this world.
I noticed that Eric shook her head and shook her head slightly. She was a little nervous, hesitated, and whispered again: "Eric, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, suddenly found that we are a class of people," Eric noticed the girl's expression, explained the sentence, and said: "Hurry up and eat, wait for us to go to WM."
WM ’s Headquarters is in the Dongcun district of Manhattan.
Although it is the weekend, the company Headquarters seems to be much more lively than usual. Usually, the few partners of the WM company who rarely show up are all gathered together, and the inside of the company is a piece of enchanting females. Paul Roland can take the WM company. All the professional models that were handy were called up, even if they were abroad, they flew back in a few days.
Except for a few company partners and executives, no one knows what happened. Carmen Case's shareholding in WM has not been officially announced.
Therefore, when Eric appeared with Carmen Case in WM, it even caused a little confusion.
When I entered the door, I first met some girls who had a good relationship with Carmen, such as Carolina Kokova and Eugenia Volodina, and Eric took the initiative to greet them.
The other girls did n’t understand the inside story, but they were quite reserved. Even after hearing some rumors from Carmen Case and Eric Williams, but when Eric Williams, the super rich, appeared in his company, he still felt a little bit Incredible.
Later, I saw that Eric was so close to the Carolina girls. I immediately dared to come up and sign, introduce myself, and even wipe the oil, so the scene suddenly became chaotic. Got up.
Paul Roland rescued Eric from a group of little crazy goblins. Everyone came together in a conference room, and ran out to chase away the girls who probed the brain. Paul Roland only came back again. I apologized to Eric: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Williams, they don't know that you are coming today"
Eric glanced helplessly at the sleeve of his shirt that had been pulled off a button. He could only smile and shook his head, and said to everyone: "It ’s okay, everyone sit down."
Paul Roland took the initiative to introduce some other WM partners and executives to Eric, and everyone sat down together.
Carmen Keith sat quietly next to Eric and noticed that the man ’s cuffs were unravelling. He felt a little funny, but his heart was a bit worried. In any way, he was a man who could attract women. By comparison, she doesn't feel that she has any advantage to trap him.
Paul · Roland is quite excited, as long as Eric Williams can appear here, it is a great opportunity for WM.
The development of professional model Brokerage Firm is ultimately the expansion of resources and contacts.
If you want to promote professional model in your hands, you must have the resources and contacts of the media industry. If you want to find a job for professional model under the company's name, you need contacts from major corporate brands.
In both respects, at any point, the Firefly system is definitely a super backer.
In terms of professional model promotion, the media resources owned by the Firefly system are even enough to hold up the small WM company.
In addition to Victoria’s Secret, a super promotion platform that can bring professional model a brand contract as long as you step on the stage, the Firefly system's huge TV media network, Internet media network, and even the associated paper media network, as long as you give some opportunities , Enough to make professional model that WM wants to recommend become a household name.
On the other hand, the entire Firefly system can provide WM with many job opportunities.
I was originally worried that Eric would be absent-minded because WM was only a small shrimp compared to the Firefly system. However, when I noticed that Eric listened to his expression of company details, Paul Roland became even more serious. Seriously, I even dragged out some of the company's operating details that I originally wanted to hide from Eric.
Paul Roland is keenly aware that in front of this young man who holds a huge economic empire, he can be more honest in order to gain more trust.
It's just that when I heard that Paul Roland said that more than a quarter of the more than 300 contractors professional model under the WM company were ‘illegal workers’ without a United States work visa, and there was a worried expression on their faces.
Since staying in this circle for so long, Carmen Case naturally knows some industry rules, but I did n’t expect WM to have such a serious problem in this area, and even thought he might have been cheated.
Noticing the blinking look of the girl beside him, Eric patted on the girl ’s lap comfortably and said, "Do you know how many work visas United States will issue each year?"
Carmen Keith shook her head. Since she was specially trained by WM, she had already obtained a work visa with the assistance of WM before coming to United States. Naturally, she was not very clear about this issue, and she did n’t even care too much. The situation of other girls in the company.
"Probably 200,000, United States will only issue work visas of about 200,000 points to overseas workers every year," said Eric, and turned to Paul Roland, saying: "Paul, is this the case?"
After hearing this number from Eric, Paul Roland realized that Eric apparently had some understanding of WM ’s status, otherwise he would not pay attention to the issue of United States work visa for no reason.
Somehow thanked for his initiative to confess today, Paul Roland nodded with a smile, and actively added to Carmen Case: "Carmen, this is indeed the case, but this is not the most critical. United States will only issue 200,000 every year. Work visa. But in fact, the total number of non-permanent immigrants who stayed in United States for a long time and even illegal immigrants without visas exceeded 50 million, and a large number of these people need to work to support themselves. Therefore, the number of illegal workers in United States exceeds The government officially issued more than 200 times the number of work issuances. Moreover, the federal government has already defaulted on this fact, and there will be no trouble. Most of the industry ’s professional model Brokerage Firm, even Elite, are similar to ours. "
Carmen Case listened to Paul Roland's explanation, but looked at Eric again. She didn't feel relieved until the man nodded in agreement.
Illegal labor is indeed a big problem in the United States society, and has even formed a stable existence that is United States government default.
Compared with the expensive local labor cost, illegal labor will not only burden United States's already very heavy social welfare system, but also provide a large amount of cheap labor for United States. Many small businesses in United States use illegal labor in large amounts, and as long as there are no problems, no one will ever bother.
Even if the federal government really wants to be more serious about the problem of illegal labor, it may even cause a lack of sufficient labor in many industries and cause a series of chain-related social problems.
The professional model industry happens to be an industry where illegal labor phenomenon is relatively concentrated.
Compared to those overseas talents with high academic qualifications, the chances of girls who usually only have a good skin bag want to apply for a visa are more difficult, not to mention, the age of most girls is simply not enough for them Get a formal work visa.
Therefore, many professional models only hold a travel visa to start their own business in United States. Among western countries, this short-term travel visa is still very easy to get. It's just that after every three months, I will return to my country and renew my visa. Even if the immigration department finds that it is greasy, it will often only close one eye.
Although the shareholding for WM is only the most inconspicuous investment in the huge industry under the name of Eric, Eric is still very careful to make a detailed investigation of the status of WM to ensure that this company will not What's wrong.
Since the use of illegal labor is an unspoken rule in the industry, Eric does not care too much. He has always believed in the rule of no fish in the water. Even if this matter was taken out by someone, it would not actually affect him in any way.
Discussed the operation of WM company, everyone started to turn the topic to the future development of this company.
Talent Brokerage Firm, under normal circumstances, if you want to reach the peak, there are often two options.
The two companies Elite and IMG in the industry happen to be the ultimate display of these two roads.
