Marvel’s Princess Chapter 475: Acquisition
On the third day after arriving in Paris, Bella met two old men who controlled all the shares of Chanel.
Her public identity requires sufficient social fame. Chanel's reputation is not too big or too small, which is more suitable for her to control.
Two old Jewish men have made Chanel's development worse and worse, and now they also want to sell this worthless asset to revitalize other industries in their hands.
The two sides went back and forth, testing each other's bottom line. In the end, Bella paid 215 million euros to eat up all the Chanel shares in the two people's hands, and officially took over the French company that has been established for more than 90 years.
Chanel is not a listed company and its shares are very clear.
Alain Widmore and Gérard Widmore, two old Jewish men, are incredibly low-key. There is no press conference or any on-site signing ceremony. The business teams of both parties have been negotiating for a long time in the early stage. After the transaction figures and many terms were finally determined, the Bella and Widmore brothers each signed the contract, and the deal was completed.
The money laundered from Bella's sale of Yutani was spent most of the time. The Widmore brothers also got rid of Chanel, a fashion brand that they loved and hated, and at the same time got a lot of cash to save themselves. For the rest of the property under his name, both parties can take what they need.
“I hope we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future.” The two old Jewish men had good business sense and methods, but their business methods were simply not suitable for the development of a fashion brand like Chanel.
At this time, the two old men smiled kindly and praised Bella.
"Of course, you two are my seniors, and I still have a lot to learn from you." Bella also said two beautiful words.
After a while of business exchanges, the two old men said goodbye politely. From today on, Chanel, a French fashion brand, will no longer have anything to do with them.
They walked freely and leisurely. As they watched their car leave the Chanel headquarters, Bella's lips showed a domineering smile at the right moment.
In a capitalist society, it is absolutely impossible to live without money. The reputation of a best-selling author is a bit low, and a billionaire is more suitable.
Selling guns and ammunition is easy to be criticized, but selling women's clothing and perfume is not so troublesome.
As a fashionista with a world-famous luxury brand under her name, Bella’s personality will be even more perfect.
Natasha had always been dressed as a secretary in a short skirt and high heels. After seeing off the two old men, she stretched out and sat directly on Bella's chair, as if she was the boss.
“I’m exhausted. The heel of this shoe is too high? Give me a foot rub.”
Are you pregnant? You are the oldest! Bella immediately put away her domineering behavior and ran over obediently to rub her daughter-in-law's feet.
The fetus is just one month old now? The two of them don’t dare to do strenuous activities, but it’s okay to kiss and touch them? Where is this? This is Paris, which is famous for its romance? What’s wrong with a domineering president touching his pretty secretary’s feet? Don't ask, asking is art!
Besides art, you also have to do some serious work.
There is no Karl Lagerfeld in this time and space, and Chanel's good cards have been beaten to pieces.
Two old Jewish men have hired many designers. Can they design over and over again? Not to mention continuing the glory of Ms. Chanel, they cannot even maintain it.
Bella and Natasha only know how to buy, buy, buy, and even if they are asked to design bags and clothes, they cannot design them. Bella has Isu cells? But no artistic cells.
Bella’s approach is to find out the future direction of the company. Instead of looking at fanciful designs, hire designers who have proven their talents.
She hired Tom Ford as Chanel's creative director.
This Tom Ford has a very beautiful resume. He has been the creative director of Gucci since 1990 and has won a lot of awards. In 2000, he served as the creative director of Yves Saint Laurent. Tom Ford is considered a top designer in the industry. .
But the characteristics of an artist make this person's mind very erratic? Last year, this man had a sudden idea to quit his job and go to Hollywood to open a company to make movies.
The results are self-evident. Last year's earthquake, tsunami and aliens wiped out all his savings of more than ten years. After Bella helped him solve the debt collection troubles of a group of mafia, , timely offer an olive branch in the form of equity plus annual salary.
Since there is a designer, she also needs to find a president. Bella has no intention of coming to Paris to work every day.
She was dressed in a standard workplace beauty outfit and stood alone on the top floor of Chanel headquarters. When she heard footsteps behind her, she slowly turned back.
A young man with a rather non-respectful expression walked into the room.
He was not wearing a tie, and his collar was just open. The suit was quite exquisite, but it looked very casual when he was wearing it.
This person is the president selected by Bella, named Roderick Kingsley, from New York.
Without Bella's intervention, he would steal the Green Goblin's serum and aircraft in the future and become Spider-Man's main enemy, the Red Goblin.
A month ago, Roderick Kingsley was a billionaire. He was framed by his opponents and lost all his money. He was almost thrown into prison.
American prisons are not a good place. A pretty guy like Roderick Kingsley would be very miserable there. Fortunately, Bella sent someone to settle the case for him at the critical moment.
This person has a bit of an extreme personality. He is both weak and cruel, timid, and wants others to fear him. He has a very strange character.
His sense of fashion is very strong among ordinary people. He is able to become a billionaire from scratch. Although he has great personality flaws, his business capabilities are also worthy of recognition.
Bella handed over Chanel's company operations to Roderick Kingsley, and handed over fashion brand development to Tom Ford. The former was a New Yorker, and the latter was a Texan. Bella asked the two to cooperate without asking for anything. Reaching the height of Chanel in her previous life, but at least not being pushed to the ground and beaten by Dior every day, right?
"Mr. Ford, how can our designer team be improved?" After calling the two of them together, Natasha still acted as secretary and poured them each a cup of coffee. Only then did Bella ask. .
Even after being rescued, Roderick Kingsley still looked carefree, as if trying to cover up his inner weakness. At this time, he put his feet on the conference table, leaned back, and completely Ignoring Bella as the boss.
Tom Ford was very conscious of being a worker. He lowered his head and thought for a while: "To be honest, there are many areas for improvement. Our route is not clear. I have hardly seen the development plan. The audience of the product is Who? No goals?"
