Chapter 1010 Spreading the Falsehood
"Estee Lauder's stock price has risen sharply for several days in a row. Regarding the acquisition rumors, the current president of Estee Lauder, Reid Lian Hanmo, refused to comment, claiming that he had not received any acquisition invitations. The Lauder family, which controls the board of directors of Estee Lauder, also No statement was made!"

Estee Lauder just changed to a new president last year. Leonard Lauder, who has been in charge of Estee Lauder for decades, announced his resignation as the president of Estee Lauder. Lian Hanmo is in charge.

This is also to avoid suspicion. The whole world, including America, has doubts about the family founder being in charge of the company. Leonard Lauder, in order to let Estee Lauder go public, or face decent, handed over the next president of Estee Lauder to An "outsider".

Although Lian Hanmo has also joined Estee Lauder for nearly 30 years and is one of the veterans of the Lauder family, after all, his surname is not Lauder, which can avoid suspicion and show the outside world that Estee Lauder is not a decadent family company. People from the Dai family took over.

Even if everyone knows that at Lian Hanmo's age, he will never stay in the position of president of Estee Lauder for long, and he needs to return the power to the next head of the Lauder family, but this also shows that the Lauder family's " enlightened"……

There have been rumors that RICK Group will acquire Estee Lauder, but neither party directly admits it. Estee Lauder has denied three times in a row, saying that it will not be acquired.

RICK was also silent for a while, and did not make any statement, as if all the rumors were rumors.

Just when the luxury goods and cosmetics industries were paying attention to this marriage of the century, RICK suddenly announced that he would initiate an acquisition of Condé Nast Media Company, and would include Vogue and other magazines in his bag!
The sudden news flashed the waists of the people who eat melons, especially fashion magazines from all walks of life. They have been eating this big melon and reporting all kinds of news during this time. Who knew that RICK suddenly flashed and killed to acquire Condé Nast.

"Condé Nast Group will not be acquired, our operations are completely healthy, Condé Nast Group holds the standards of the fashion industry and should not be interfered with by third parties..."

Solberg, president of Condé Nast Group, just denied that, but it was reported that RICK Group proposed to Condé Nast at a sky-high price of US$14 billion, which shocked the global fashion world.

People in the fashion magazine industry can see that RICK is serious. As long as he continues to raise the price, whether Solberg is willing or not, the board of directors of Condé Nast Group may not be able to bear it.

Condé Nast looks very tall, but it doesn’t make much money. It really wants to earn more than a billion dollars. Condé Nast Group has been working for 20 years, and it may not be able to make it. At this time, the board of directors of Condé Nast Group is the only one who can make money. It's the best deal!
"If the acquisition is completed, the RICK Group will retain the positions of editor-in-chiefs of Condé Nast Group's media, and the positions of editor-in-chiefs such as Anna Wintour will not change, and the salary will be increased!"

The RICK Group once again let out the wind, stabilizing Condé Nast magazine editors all over the world, especially Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of VOGUE Magazine America.

Anna Wintour is a powerful figure in the fashion industry. She is not a designer, but she has discovered and promoted a large number of top designers, such as the founder of Mike Kors, Givenchy designer McQueen, LV design director Jacob, and chief designer of Dior. A large number of top designers, such as Galliano, became famous with the support of Anna Wintour, which in turn allowed Anna Wintour's power to extend from America to Europe, Asia, etc. land.

The famous "The Devil Wears Prada" Hollywood movie was made based on Anna Wintour.

RICK wants to acquire Condé Nast Group, Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour and others must be stable. If these people all run away, even if the acquisition is successful, the magazine will basically be useless!

And just when RICK was making a big move and attacking everywhere, the face of the Victoria's Secret brand and the agent of the world's top supermodel Elsa Benitez suddenly announced that after the expiration of this year's agreement, Elsa I will no longer renew my contract with Victoria's Secret Supermodel, nor will I participate in next year's Victoria's Secret show!

So many news about RICK, Estee Lauder, Condé Nast, etc. did not attract much attention from ordinary people. The news that Elsa was going to quit the Victoria’s Secret supermodel was instantly reported by major entertainment media in America!
"The most expensive supermodel in history retires!"

"Is it a transformation or something hidden? An entertainment media reporter captured that Elsa Benitez is now in San Jose. It is rumored that Elsa has a close relationship with the former richest man Bruno Song!"

"The legend is no more, Elsa, a woman with an annual revenue of over 45 billion dollars!"

The media began to report on Elsa overwhelmingly. On the major TV stations and entertainment news, there were pictures of Elsa’s shocking show at the Super Bowl. Newspapers, magazines, etc. also found that Elsa suddenly announced The reason after retirement, and Elsa's Victoria's Secret supermodel career in the past few years, is also basically bound to the Victoria's Secret brand.

Elsa, a newcomer in Hollywood, became famous all over the world after she joined the Victoria's Secret supermodel. Similarly, after being acquired by RICK, Victoria's Secret became popular all over the world and became the "first choice" for women!
Elsa and Victoria's Secret are bound together, which makes Elsa a bit more legendary. It seems that it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the strongest king of goods in history. The unknown, reaching the point where this year’s revenue broke $45 billion, it’s definitely not just Elsa’s credit, but as a "representative" launched by Victoria’s Secret, she can indeed represent Victoria’s Secret to a certain extent , It is also reasonable to push the credit to her.

RICK and Victoria's Secret will naturally not dismantle Elsa's platform. Almost after the news that Elsa is leaving Victoria's Secret, several products of Victoria's Secret, Balenciaga, and Gucci brand endorsed by Elsa, The crazy sales started. Compared with yesterday, many places started to sell out!

There are summaries of Elsa's modeling career, as well as tabloid media, all kinds of speculations about what happened between Elsa and someone when she arrived in San Jose, so that Elsa made such a big change.

There are also tabloid media, in order to attract attention, directly began to report, "A certain supermodel may be pregnant and has to retire from the world", although this tabloid reported vaguely, and no real name appeared throughout the whole process, but eating When the masses see this, they basically know who the people in the tabloid are referring to!

Just such three no news, but the sales volume of the tabloid has skyrocketed. The entertainment channels of Yahoo, MSN and other portal websites that cited this tabloid have also seen a rapid increase in user clicks. After all, this speculation seems to be reasonable. If it is not pregnant , a well-known global supermodel, why did she suddenly retire? You know, the outside world predicts that the signing fee for Elsa’s next contract with Victoria’s Secret may reach an astonishing $2000 million or more, no more than a Hollywood superstar. How much less is the salary...

What is it that allows a person to give up 2000 million US dollars in income? It must be possible to get more US dollars. For a while, there were rumors that Elsa was pregnant with a child of a certain big benefactor. The rumor that Elsa is going to marry into a wealthy family is also aroused. After all, it seems that only this kind of explanation can make sense.

Even, Song Yang received multiple calls, not only Gallo, Greg and others from the Bruno family, but even powerful figures such as Adrian and Tom Delay called Song Yang. Come on, say "Congratulations"!
Illegal children are not illegitimate children, but Song Yang has successors, which are very important for the entire Bruno family or Adrian and others who are closely related to Song Yang. This can ensure that if special circumstances arise, the entire Bruno camp will not directly fall apart ...

"These tabloid media!"

Song Yang hung up Adrian's phone with a headache, and thanked him for his "good intentions". Song Yang has seen the "strength" of the American tabloid media, even though Song Yang has already occupied a place in the American media industry, But it's impossible to shut up all the mouths of those tabloid media.

"These tabloid media will talk nonsense!"

In a villa in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Jenny angrily threw a local Los Angeles tabloid magazine on the ground.

Backed by Hollywood, Los Angeles has never been short of gossip and news, Elsa news, news about supermodels and American upstarts, wealthy families, Los Angeles tabloid media, it’s been a long time since I encountered this kind of gossip news that can attract everyone’s attention, Naturally, it is a desperate arrangement, and any outrageous rumors can be arranged.

"This group of media can only fabricate news. How could Elsa marry into the Bruno family..."

"Jenny, these are just tabloid media reports, they can never be true!"

"How could Song marry that Mexican Latin girl..."

A few followers surrounded Jenny, scolding the nonsense of the tabloid media, but they didn't dare to scold Elsa too harshly, let alone persuade Jenny to trouble Elsa.

The reports of the tabloid media are of course not taken seriously, but there are some things that Jenny and her followers are all aware of. There is definitely a relationship between Elsa and Song Yang, and they all know it well.

Really provoke the relationship between Jenny and Elsa, even if Song Yang can't do anything to Jenny, can't he deal with their little followers? !
The little attendants around Jenny have changed many people one after another over the years. Some of them have made a name for themselves in Hollywood with the help of Jenny's connections and resources. They even participated in big-budget movies and got brand endorsements. Steady your footing, did you have any small followers who suddenly disappeared in Hollywood, and it is impossible to have a chance to enter Hollywood again!
Relying on the three major TV stations of ICNC, NBC, and CNN, and the support of the three major Hollywood film giants Western Films, Warner Pictures, and Universal Pictures, Jenny does not have too many resources, even if the leaked "little "Resources can only be exchanged for how many small Hollywood stars, how many parties, how much wine they drink, and how many times they lie on the red sofa.

These little followers can tell the importance, and they will not ruin their future just for the sake of quick talk. The little followers all know that what they said today, they may not be able to spread it in a few minutes. In Song Yang's ears, that time might be the time when they would be kicked out.

Listening to Jenny's words, Haili, who was sitting aside with little Andre in her arms, showed a little embarrassment. Thinking back, she seemed to be the one who pulled Elsa into that party back then.

Hailey came to Hollywood this time, basically with a "play" attitude, and joined Hollywood movies and TV dramas to play a small role or something. After giving birth to little Andre, Hailey became less ambitious. Gallo Her social status is not too high, but Hai Li gave birth to Andre, and she also got a lot of real estate, equity, luxury goods, etc. Even if she married into those wealthy actresses, Hai Li might not be able to get it. many.

After answering a phone call, Haili waved the gang of followers out first, and then said to Jenny, "Elsa is going to transform, she quit Victoria's Secret Supermodel, and will be the vice president of RICK, managing RICK's new establishment Media platforms, e-commerce departments, etc.!"

Hai Li told Jenny this to tell her that those reports in the tabloid media that were full of fantasies were basically eye-catching.

Jenny pursed her lips, and touched her belly unconsciously. This time the rumor was false, but Jenny felt a sense of crisis. Seeing little Andre in Hailey's arms, she touched her belly with her hand, Jenny snorted, "Song..."

"Ms. Anna!"

At the headquarters of the Condé Nast Group, before the negotiations were about to start, Elsa Benitez, who came with the negotiating team, first met Anna Wintour.

Anna Wintour, who is over half a century old, looked at Elsa in front of her. In the past, if any model or designer was examined by Anna Wintour in this way, I am afraid that she would have been disturbed. As long as Wintour, in the In Vogue magazine, if you write down your evaluation of a model or designer, it can make the other party instantly famous or ruined.

But Elsa, who is about to quit Victoria's Secret Supermodel, has no pressure to face Anna Wintour.

"Elsa, I've seen your catwalk shows and heard comments from many top designers. You have brought the modeling industry to a new height, and quitting is a loss for the modeling industry!"

Anna Wintour said to Elsa, from her mouth, the evaluation of Elsa is already quite high, but it is true that it started from Elsa, the model's worth and attention are the same as those of Japan. multiply.

Listening to Anna Wintour's words, Elsa could faintly hear some overtones in her heart, knowing that Condé Nast might really want to change to a new sponsor, and the editors-in-chief of magazines like Anna Wintour had to make a decision. Change.

"Ms. Anna, I have been reading Vogue magazine for a long time. It is my fashion enlightenment magazine. I think it should continue to maintain the previous style in the future..."
