Marvel's princess becomes king

Chapter 185 Next stop, Boston

Bella's signing event in New York was very successful, and friends from all walks of life were very supportive.

The chubby history teacher Karl Elijah has been helping her out. The order on the scene is not very good, but it is very good!Not to mention gangsters, even those little hooligans who used to whistle at her didn't show up.

Bella's impression of New York is getting better and better now. Who said New York is full of disasters?Absolutely slander!

The first stop of the signing event was New York. After proving that the Hunger Games had the potential to sell well, the second stop was Boston.

From the perspective of previous lives, Boston was not very famous, but many of the elites in the United States came from Boston. The academic atmosphere here is strong, neither like New Yorkers who are obsessed with making money, nor like Washingtonians who shout political slogans every day .

There are many elites, and naturally there are many people who buy books.

Both the publisher, Random House, and Chanel, who came along to sell perfume and cosmetics, attached great importance to the signing in Boston.

Bella wants more fame and more praise. She only gets [-]% of the income from the autograph event. How much interest can she have?Like many well-known writers, royalties are still the main part of her income now, but in the future, book operations and peripheral income will be the bulk.

This joint sales with Chanel is just an attempt.

The lack of Karl Lagerfeld in Chanel in this time and space has caused the company's performance to be flat, not to mention comparing with giants such as Louis Vuitton, Hermes, and Gucci, even standing in front of Dior, she is a younger sister.

Chanel is not a listed company, its shares are entirely owned by individuals, and it hardly publishes financial reports, but Bella still uses some means to investigate the current situation of the company.

The shares of the company are entirely in the hands of the Jewish Widmore brothers, namely 66-year-old Alan Widmore and 63-year-old Gerard Widmore. The two brothers each hold 50% of the shares.

The two rarely showed up in public. Chanel held some big shows and other events, and they sat in the fourth or fifth row. I didn't know it, but I thought the two old men were passing by.

The prudence, calculation, and disregard for fame in the Jewish bones, and the character of focusing only on reality is vividly displayed in the two of them.

The two brothers are very calm, but Chanel has not developed well in recent years. As a French fashion brand, Chanel has been beaten to the ground by Dior on a daily basis, and its sales have been declining year by year.

It is not a listed company, and naturally there is no market value. The outside world can only make brand evaluations. Analysts believe that this brand is going to be outdated. It is worth [-] million euros at most, or even lower. It is said that the Widmore brothers have sold it. The idea of ​​a shareholding, but has not been confirmed by the outside world.

In fact, if you want to buy this company, you don't need that much money, but even if it is less, [-] million euros is necessary.

Bella doesn't have that much money, and she doesn't know how to make Chanel reach the height it used to be. Fashion is too ethereal. She thinks she doesn't have Karl Lagerfeld's level. There is a high probability that if you don't pick it up well, you will fall into the pit.

"The management has complained many times that the company should go public, but the two legendary shareholders just don't agree!"

The sales manager of Chanel in the Los Angeles area was complaining to Bella. This is a very ordinary middle-aged American man. They met through the Stanford Alumni Association. One wants to advertise and the other wants to make money. Naturally, they hit it off.

We have entered the 21st century, and everyone wants to go public to make money. Are there still companies that are not listed?Bella is a layman in the economic field, and she can't figure out the thoughts of the two old men. She can't tell whether they have a deep-seated plan. From the analysis of the existing information, the two old men are extremely stingy.

She chatted casually with the sales manager while the staff worked on setting up the venue.

"Why not go public?" she asked.

The middle-aged man said with great dissatisfaction: "What else can it be? The Jews hold their money bags tightly, for fear that outsiders will take away a penny."

The Widmore brothers firmly hold on to the equity, reject outside investment, and will not give equity incentives to the management.

The management team can only get one annual salary, there is not much enthusiasm for work, and the talent drain is very fast.

This is also the main reason why the private company Chanel was beaten to the ground by the listed company Dior.

Bella thought for a while, is this the case of Chanel in the original time and space?According to the stingy personality of the Jews, it was probably the same. It’s just that Chanel in that time and space developed very well, and the Widmore brothers had enough connections at the top to resist pressure from all sides. Now it’s another situation.

She is more or less interested in Chanel, but the timing is not yet ripe in all aspects.

She persuaded the sales manager a few words: "Anyway, they are working part-time. Look at me? I am also working for you."

The sales manager shook his head and chuckled: "Your income is much higher than mine."

After chatting for a while, Bella went to change clothes. The clothes were all provided by Chanel, which was also part of the advertisement.

The sales manager was busy with arranging the venue. Although there was no equity incentive, there was still a commission, so it was a little bit of money.

Bella sat in the dressing room in a daze, the hair stylist combed her hair nervously, and she boredly picked up a fashion magazine and flipped through it.

In my heart, I was thinking about the designer. Without a good designer, Chanel would only be a second-rate brand even if it was bought.

She even calculated the assets in her hands and used them all as collateral. How much money could she borrow?The calculation result is a huge gap.

Thinking about it, she felt her eyelids were clenched, she closed her eyes slightly, and wanted to rest for a while.

The clothes she wore when she was doing her hair were very loose, and she was in a daze. She felt that a hand was touching her neck, and then along the collarbone, all the way down.

How unreasonable!Who has the guts?

She grabbed that hand, intending to throw it over her shoulder, and then break her hand, then her neck or something.

But when she touched it like this, she found that it didn't feel right. She grabbed a woman's hand. She touched it twice. The palm was slippery, the fingers were round, and there was strength in the softness. Shana had a teasing look in her eyes.

"Let go! So hard?" Natasha had a smile on her brows, looking into her loose neckline.

Seeing that it was a misunderstanding, Bella hummed, how dare this cheap little sister take advantage of her?She tightened her neckline and asked strangely, "Why are you here?"

Natasha was wearing a very formal business attire, with a blonde shawl, a watch, and a necklace.

It's totally a professional woman's dress.

"My mother heard that you were signing a sale, so she asked me to come over and help. If you have nothing to do, help you carry your bag, pass water and so on." Natasha pursed her lips, looking like a young man who was arrested.
