Changing Courts

Anna Wintour looked at Elsa Benitez in front of her. If before today, someone would have dared to comment on the style of Vogue fashion magazine in front of her, whether it was a so-called top designer or a model,

Celebrities and the like, Anna Wintour will fight back mercilessly. Does she know what fashion is?

But looking at Elsa Benitez, throwing away the halo that the media has shrouded in her body, Anna Wintour doesn’t care at all about what created today’s Victoria’s Secret empire, the world’s number one supermodel, etc.

, she is an expert in flattery and knows how valuable these titles are.

Anna Wintour has heard Song Yang's famous "pig in the spotlight" theory, which is also applicable to the fashion industry. A person who does the right thing at the "right" time may become famous overnight.

Liga, especially the modern media's hype methods are more mature and more systematic. It is not difficult to make someone famous!

The key is Elsa's current status as RICK's vice president, in charge of the media and e-commerce departments that RICK is building. Even Anna Wintour, who has been proud and arrogant her whole life, cannot completely ignore this.

Anna Wintour specializes in reporting on the fashion industry. She is used to the intrigues within the founder family of the luxury goods empire. Even those family members worth billions of dollars can be kicked out because of a change.

Anna Wintour is quite famous, but if RICK acquires Condé Nast Group, who knows, if it really offends Elsa and RICK Group, Anna Wintour will be driven away suddenly.

No matter how famous you are, no matter how famous you are, you can't beat the big benefactors.

Facing Elsa, it is difficult for Anna Wintour to have an arrogant attitude. She is not afraid of wearing shoes when she is barefoot. People have worries and it is difficult to be tough.

"Can I take President Elsa's words as RICK's attitude towards Vogue magazine?!"

Anna Wintour raised her coffee elegantly and asked Elsa calmly, but her expression was not as calm as she showed.

"Of course, some of the directors of Condé Nast's media magazines around the world may change. After all, this kind of thing is inevitable.

As for Ms. Anna, you will become the chief content officer and global editorial director of Condé Nast Media, and you will still be responsible for the related business of Vogue magazine!"

A business plane painted with the logo of Comerica Bank slowly landed at the San Jose airport. As soon as the cabin was opened, Chris, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, followed by several assistants and executives, looked like a big shot.

Jain, led a large group of people down the gangway.

"I just got the news that RICK Group acquired Condé Nast Group for nearly US$1.6 billion!"

For a while, the two sides started a long tug-of-war. Elsa increased the price bit by bit, leaving Solberg at a loss. He wanted to raise the price, but Elsa ignored it at all and let Sauber.

Ge was also very helpless.

There was no time for small talk. After getting into the car, Chris Jain asked the person in charge of Comerica Bank in San Jose, "What's going on with the RICK Group?!"

Down below, the person in charge of Comerica in San Jose was already waiting there to greet the "legendary" figure of Comerica Bank.

Solberg, the president of Condé Nast Media, opened his mouth when he saw that Elsa was in charge of leading the team and negotiating with Condé Nast, but said nothing.

The fight hasn't even started yet, but I suddenly found that my subordinates are all a bunch of young men. How can I fight this battle? I'm afraid I've been sold out long ago!

Elsa has seen the changes in Anna Wintour. For the first time in a high position, Elsa knows that if she wants to control magazines such as Vogue, she must retain Anna Wintour, the soul of these magazines.

"President Chris!"

Hearing this news, Jaen's face did not change much. However, when he heard that Elsa was in charge of the acquisition, Jaen's expression changed slightly. He naturally knew Elsa Benitez.

Not only is Jaen in a high position, but the old friends of Houston have now become phoenixes...

Solberg said with a bit of annoyance. Obviously he didn't want to go on wrangling any more and started to directly enter the quotation process. He was waffling so much just for the final quotation.

Elsa and the assistant Song Yang sent for her whispered a few words and then said to Solberg.

This made Solberg angry for a while, and secretly cursed these young men, what the heck, these guys are thinking of changing their business even before being acquired by RICK.

Elsa smiled and said, "As long as Ms. Anna is willing to support this acquisition, that's enough!"

Anna Wintour pondered for a moment and said that she knew Elsa's intention, which was to get rid of them, the editors-in-chief of Condé Nast's magazines. If the Condé Nast board of directors did not agree to RICK's acquisition, then they would have to consider that the entire Condé Nast Group would

It won't fall apart because a large number of magazine editors suddenly leave.

After finishing speaking, Elsa looked at Solberg. This was Elsa's lowest price. Condé Nast's executives would not be touched for the time being. They would also be given dividends this year, provided that Solberg and the others cooperated with this.

acquisition, otherwise, it would have ended differently.

A lot of money buys horse bones. It is enough to set the example of Anna Wintour and tell the editors-in-chief of Condé Nast that RICK Group will not treat them badly. Living with RICK Group will definitely be better than living in Condé Nast.

And if it is owned by RICK, it will be a different story for the executives of Condé Nast.

Angrily looking at the various executives on the left and right, Solberg didn't know how many insider transactions these gangsters had sold, so that Elsa could even achieve Condé Nast's revenue in the latest quarter.

You can guess, the difference is only about a few hundred thousand dollars. You must know that Solberg just got that report yesterday!

"President Elsa, no matter how good Condé Nast is, it is still the most authoritative magazine in the fashion industry. I think RICK Group knows its value better than me!"

Of course, Elsa is far different from Solberg in terms of experience in talking nonsense, but she can't help but let the "see through" show. Anna Wintour and a bunch of Condé Nast executives have already revealed their secrets to Elsa.

.

"$1.57 billion!"

The defection of Condé Nast executives left Solberg with no ability to fight back during the negotiation, and he was left in a very awkward position.

Noticing Solberg's look, Elsa knew that for a long time in the future, some people might have to adapt to her new identity.

Looking at the glances directed at him in the conference room, Solberg was stunned. After a while, he finally lowered his head and said, "I need to report the results of today's negotiations to the board of directors..."

Two billion US dollars, this is in line with the value of Condé Nast!”

Elsa looked around at the executives at Condé Nast and said, "by the way", she also told them who the immediate boss of Condé Nast would be if the acquisition was completed!

When Elsa raised the price to this price, she was unwilling to raise the price any more. Although Song Yang authorized her purchase amount to reach a maximum of two billion U.S. dollars, if she really bought it at that price, Elsa would feel like she was in the RICK Group.

, I’m afraid it won’t even be able to stand.

As soon as the negotiations began, Solberg suddenly realized that something was wrong. The Condé Nast executives who participated in today's negotiations, as well as Anna Wintour and other magazine editors, seemed to be siding with the RICK Group. This made Solberg

Berg's scalp was numb.

The key point is that people and money die for food. The board of directors of Condé Nast can take away more than one billion US dollars in acquisition funds, but their group of executives cannot get a penny!

Condé Nast Media executives need to think about whether they want to stay, but people like Anna Wintour must stay, at least for a short period of time, and use them to control Vogue and other

Magazine.

Condé Nast's senior executives couldn't help but look at Solberg. Elsa's conditions were already quite good, and the price of nearly 1.6 billion US dollars was enough to make a submission to the board of directors.

The hand holding the coffee shook unconsciously. This almost made Anna Wintour's status rise a lot, giving her the right to speak in the publications of more than 30 Condé Nast market magazines around the world.

In addition, after the establishment of the RICK Group's media department is completed, it will use its brands as prototypes to produce some Hollywood TV series or major movies.

"President Eric, there are important matters to deal with, so I will be responsible for this negotiation. In the future, I will also manage the media business of RICK Group!"

Elsa is not experienced enough, but she "follows the good". Song Yang and Eric set a target price for this acquisition. She will never let the acquisition price exceed the target price set by Song Yang!

"USD 1.45 billion, everything in the world has a price, and Vogue is no exception, although I also like it very much!"

After Anna Wintour, Elsa met with several Condé Nast executives and powerful people. This was Elsa's first time working on behalf of RICK Group, and she didn't want to make any mistakes.

Of course, we will also make some biographical movies, or we can also make a big movie based on you, Ms. Anna, "The Devil Wears Prada", how do you feel?!"

RICK America, the largest luxury goods empire, has been firmly established. It is now rumored that it will acquire Estee Lauder and become a senior executive of RICK. However, compared to Condé Nast, the opportunities are much greater, and the salary and benefits are naturally much better.

, you are not a cow or a horse for anyone, why don’t you find a sponsor who can feed you with enough fodder?!

Shaking his head, Solberg raised the price and said, "I have said that magazines such as Vogue are unique. There cannot be a second Vogue in the world. If RICK gets Condé Nast, it will have the right to speak in the fashion industry!

"If the acquisition is successfully completed, RICK will help Condé Nast establish the Condé Nast Academy to train top designers, interior decoration and other designers for the fashion industry. If Ms. Anna is interested, she can serve as a tutor at this academy.

"The price of US$1.4 billion is the purchase price set by many Wall Street institutional consultants for RICK Group. This is completely in line with Condé Nast's worth!"

Solberg thought that the person coming to negotiate with Condé Nast today, even if it wasn't Eric, would be someone at the director level of RICK. Unexpectedly, it was Elsa who came to negotiate.

Hearing this, Anna Wintour couldn't bear it any longer. Who doesn't want to leave a name in history? Become a mentor in the design school. Bigger will go to the next level and be promoted to an executive of Condé Nast, a producer.

A big movie based on her, these conditions, no matter how arrogant Anna Wintour is, it is impossible to refuse, it is really too much!

"Of course I support RICK Group, but Condé Nast Media has many editors-in-chief around the world. Vogue Japan Editorial Director Mitsuko Watanabe, French Editor-in-Chief Emmanuel Ott and others all have great influence on Condé Nast Media.

, I can’t possibly affect them all!”

From a credit department manager in the Comerica Bank branch, he climbed all the way to the board of directors of Comerica Bank and became the president in charge of Comerica Credit. He also helped Comerica grow from a remote local bank to a revenue growth

Entering the existence of one of the top ten banks in America, he successfully bet on the Internet, broadband, luxury goods and other trendy industries. In the entire American banking industry, the name Chris Jain is already a legend!

The lion opened his mouth so loudly that a group of Condé Nast executives were a little startled. Solberg really dared to bid.

The person in charge did not dare to neglect and quickly reported the news he had just received to Chris Jain. He knew that RICK was Jain’s proud work. If the RICK Group could become the largest luxury goods empire in America, Jain was

To a great extent, RICK’s many large-scale acquisitions were all made by Jain and Comerica Bank loaned money to RICK Group. Likewise, Comerica Banking received huge returns!

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Solberg clearly felt that the attitude of the Condé Nast executives under him towards Elsa had obviously changed.

"This is also the purpose of our visit this time!"

Focusing specifically on Condé Nast's weaknesses, no matter how old Solberg is, he can't bear to keep hitting the target.

"After the acquisition of Condé Nast, senior executives including President Solberg will not change their positions within two years. This year's RICK bonus bonus will also include Condé Nast executives. This is the guarantee I can give you!"

"Song!"

"I saw the San Jose Manor. It is the largest manor complex I have ever seen. When it is completed, I don't know how many media reporters will come over!"

Arriving at Song Yang's villa, Chris Jain shook hands with Song Yang and said to Song Yang. Eric and Jain beside him just nodded. They were old acquaintances and were not so particular.

"Congratulations to you, Jian, for being one of the top ten best professional managers in America last year!" Song Yang said to Jian with a smile.
Chapter completed!
