v2 Chapter 180: Victoria's Secret

The Miss Asia program is also being held. This time, they followed Henry's instructions, packaged, attended various activities, and attracted the attention of the audience. The last stop is to come to the United States to participate in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show held by the "Victoria's Secret" company! ! !

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show should have only started in 1995, but when Henry decided to acquire "Victoria's Secret", it was destined to be held four years in advance! ! !

In the previous life, the product categories of Victoria's Secret (Victoria\\\'ssecret) include women's underwear, bras, underwear, swimwear, casual women's clothing, women's shoes, cosmetics and various supporting clothing, luxury shorts, perfume cosmetics and related books, etc. It is one of the most famous and **** underwear brands in the world.

Basically, women know this brand!

As for men, the Victoria's Secret Angels are so sexy! ! !

In 1995, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was held, which attracted global attention and was reported by the world's major media as "the underwear event of the century"! ! ! After that, a Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will be held every year, and each time it will attract global attention, cause a huge sensation, and make the headlines of major newspapers every year! ! !

Victoria's Secret is affiliated to the Limited Brands Group, a well-known mid-to-high-end clothing manufacturer in the United States. Currently, it has established hundreds of stores in the United States, and the sales have exceeded one billion U.S. dollars! It is very difficult to acquire such a company!

However, there are many brand companies under the LimitedBrands Group. If the conditions are good, it is possible to sell Victoria's Secret! LimitedBrands Group often sold its subsidiaries in the past life, and then made a lot of money!

Moreover, Victoria's Secret is not as popular and influential as later generations, and the value of Ip is not big enough!

It now appears that Victoria's Secret is just an ordinary chain store selling underwear!

After the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Victoria's Secret started to really catch on! ! !

Henry established a clothing production company Williams Clothing Group in California, and then made a request to the Limited Brands Group to acquire "Victoria's Secret"!

When the other party inquired, it was actually the world-class rich Henry Williams who wanted to acquire his own company, and he immediately considered it. Promise to negotiate! I thought, if the other party has money, if he really wants to buy it, I can make a fortune from him. Build a new brand after being great!

Henry came to the LimitedBrands Group of Companies in person, and Henry attached great importance to this large-scale acquisition involving billions of dollars! This time, Henry is preparing to borrow from Williams Bank to acquire Victoria's Secret. His current deposits are not so much. I believe that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Henry's cash is absolutely amazing! ! !

LimitedBrands Group Chairman and CEO Leslie has been waiting for a long time.

Leslie is actually the founder of the LimitedBrands Group. He founded the first clothing store in 1963. With his great taste and keen business sense, he positioned the brand to operate on teenagers, especially young women. He is like a genius. Under the management, 1imited became a hit. After that, five branches were opened, and then listed on the market to collect money. After the money was collected, it was out of control, and it expanded wildly. Opening branches, acquisitions, continuing to open branches and continuing acquisitions makes LimitedBrands Group one of the giants in the American apparel industry! ! !

In Henry's investigation, Leslie spent $470,000 in 199o to build a manor resembling the Georgian era outside of Columbus, Ohio, USA, and bought a genuine British 17th century manor in the same year: owning 11 Foxcotehouse with bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. In addition, he commissioned the manufacture of what is said to be the largest private yacht in the world! ! !

There are indications that Leslie is very rich and will spend money! ! !

When Henry first met Leslie. He knew that this very shrewd old man in front of him was a bit difficult to deal with. I am afraid that the acquisition is not easy.

Leslie smiled and greeted Henry: "Welcome to Mr. Williams, this is Leslie. Chairman of LimitedBrands Group and netbsp; "Hello, Mr. Leslie, I admire your deeds from scratch! "

"Hehe, my little joke, there is better than you, Mr. Williams. The total market value of Limited Brands is less than one-seventh of yours!" Leslie laughed, "Mr. Williams has two thousand. Is it worth a billion?"

Henry smiled, waved his hand and said: "There are not so many, the Internet and newspapers spread it!"

"Ha ha"

Leslie smiled, "Please come in, I will show you around the company!"

"Okay!!!" Henry nodded.

After entering the LimitedBrands group company, Henry found that there are simply beautiful women, handsome guys, and a dazzling variety of clothes. Leslie took Henry to visit the major subsidiaries of the group company, and finally took him to Victoria's Secret!

Leslie introduced: "This is the current ceo Marcus Christie of Victoria's Secret!"

Marcus Christie knew Henry and hurriedly reached out to say hello: "Hello, nice to meet you, Mr. Williams!!!"

"Hello, Mr. Marcus Christie!" Henry smiled slightly and shook his hand.

Leslie smiled and said, "Mr. Williams, the company has also visited, let's go to the reception room, it's time to discuss business!"

"Well, then please lead the way!" Henry said.

Leslie responded and walked ahead, and after a while, he led Henry to a reception room that could accommodate dozens of people!

After sitting down, Leslie smiled and said, "Mr. Williams, how much do you plan to invest in acquiring Victoria's Secret?"

"Two billion dollars!!!" Henry replied~lightnovelpub.net~No, Mr. Williams, the price is a bit low! ! ! Leslie shook his head, "Victoria's Secret has hundreds of stores, and the brand is well-known, with annual sales exceeding one billion U.S. dollars and net profits as high as 200 million U.S. dollars! ! ! According to the current exhibition trend, Victoria's Secret will only make more money, maybe in a few years, the profit will be doubled! So, for such a very profitable company, Mr. Williams, don't you think two billion dollars is too little? "

Henry said calmly, "So how much does Mr. Leslie think is appropriate?"

"Four billion dollars!!!" Leslie smiled and said slowly.

Henry frowned when he heard the offer. In 2015, Victoria's Secret was only worth seven billion U.S. dollars in market value. Now it is more than ten years apart, so it's not worth four billion U.S. dollars!

"Mr. Williams, do you think the price is too high?" Leslie couldn't help but look at Henry's expression.
