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.
The two old Jewish men made Chanel's development go from bad to worse, and now they want to sell this worthless asset to revitalize other industries in their hands.
The two sides went back and forth and tested 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 and finally decided on it.
After the transaction figures and many terms were completed, Bella and the Widmore brothers each signed the contract, and the deal was completed.
Most of the money laundered from Bella's sale of Yutani was spent. The Widmore brothers also got rid of Chanel, a fashion brand they loved and hated, and at the same time received a large amount of cash to save their own brands.
For the rest of the industry, both parties can take what they need.
"I hope we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future." The two old Jewish men have good business sense and methods, but their business methods are 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, both of you are my seniors, and I still have a lot to learn from you." Bella also said two beautiful words.
After a while of business talk, the two old men said goodbye politely. From today on, Chanel, a French fashion brand, will have nothing to do with them anymore.
They walked freely and leisurely, and as they watched their car leave the Chanel headquarters, Bella's lips showed a domineering smile at the right time.
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 less 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 sending the two old men away, she stretched out and sat directly on Bella's chair, as if she was the boss.
"I'm exhausted. The heels of these shoes are too high. Rub your feet for me."
Are you pregnant? You are the biggest! 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 touch each other. Where is this? This is Paris, which is famous for its luxury. What's wrong with a domineering president touching his pretty secretary's feet?
Don't ask, asking is art!
Besides art, I also have to do some serious work.
There is no Karl Lagerfeld in this time and space, and Chanel's good hand has been beaten to pieces.
The two old Jewish men hired many designers. Can they design and design? Let alone continue the glory of Ms. Chanel, they can't 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 she does not have artistic cells.
Bella's approach is to identify the future direction of the company's development, not to look at fanciful designs, but to hire designers who have proven their talents.
She hired Tom Ford as Chanel's creative director.
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 very erratic? Last year, this man had a sudden idea to quit his job and go to Hollywood to open a company and 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 helping him solve a group of mafia's debt collection troubles, Bella used the timely help
Offer an olive branch in the form of equity plus annual salary.
Now that he has a designer, he has to find a CEO. Bella has no intention of coming to Paris to work every day.
Dressed in a standard workplace beauty, she stood alone on the top floor of the Chanel headquarters. When she heard footsteps coming from behind, she slowly turned back.
A young man with an expression that was not very respectful, but with a somewhat careless demeanor walked into the room.
He was not wearing a tie, his collar was just open, and his 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.
If Bella hadn't interfered, he would have stolen 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.
Prisons in the United States are not a good place, and a pretty boy like Roderick Kingsley would be very miserable there. Fortunately, Bella sent someone to settle the case for him at the critical moment.
This person's personality is a bit extreme, 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 was able to become a billionaire from scratch. Despite his huge personality flaws, his business abilities are 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, not to achieve the same level as Chanel in her previous life.
height, but at least don't be pushed to the ground and beaten by Dio 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 ignored Bei.
Pull this 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 that need improvement. Our route is not clear. I have hardly seen the development plan. Who is the audience for the product?
