Back to 1995

Chapter 1019
When RICK was still a nightclub group and wanted to log on to Nasdaq, the valuation at that time was less than tens of millions. Eric’s family wanted to donate to the church, but the other party was unwilling to accept it, fearing that it would cause trouble The reputation of the church.

And now, even though RICK is still the largest nightclub group in America, no one mentions it anymore. What outsiders see is the luxury empire of RICK Group. Now there is no church that can reject Eric's family. donated.

Although RICK has not completely abandoned the nightclub group, it is completely different from the way of playing side-by-side in the past. Now all the nightclubs under RICK have been upgraded to high-end venues and adopt a membership system, just like those golf clubs. A place for recreation and entertainment for middle and high-end users.

In addition, there are hotels, restaurants, beauty salons, gyms, casinos, golf courses and other supporting facilities. Compared with before, the income has increased a lot. The membership system has increased the confidentiality of these venues, and many of them have a lot of income. All the users started to enter places like RICK. After all, they are human beings. No matter how high they are, there must always be places for entertainment. It is impossible to count gold coins every day.

From a cowboy in the west, he transformed himself into a millionaire with tens of billions of dollars. For Eric, his experience in the past few years is enough to be called a legend. Maybe he can make a documentary or something in the future. Record the process from western cowboy to fashion godfather.

Suppressing his restless mood, Eric knew that there was still a long way to go before he became a billionaire, and that he hadn't overwhelmed the LVMH Group yet, and the RICK Group couldn't even go public.

But even if it goes public, Eric glanced at Song Yang with a calm face. The big head was still taken away by Song Yang, who is the major shareholder of RICK Group. His worth will soar tens of billions of dollars, Eric Ke is nothing compared to Song Yang.

It is almost certain that if any company such as RICK Group or Alcatel Mobile, PayPal, Google goes public, Song Yang will almost be able to return to the throne of the richest man, and his worth may pull a lot of Buffett, Bill Gates and others who are behind. , It depends on when Song Yang wants that position!

However, Eric did not have any thoughts of dissatisfaction. No one knows what RICK looked like before, and what he looked like after Song Yang became a shareholder of RICK. No one knows better than Eric. Without Song Yang’s support, RICK may still be the same today It's a puddle of mud, and anyone from the police station would dare to go to his place to find fault and charge some "security" fees or something.

But now, the RICK brand is placed there, paying hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes every year. The cotton and other raw materials purchased from plantations in Tennessee and other places each year support a large area of ​​plantations. Tens of thousands of jobs and taxes have been provided.

Not to mention, RICK has established multiple production plants in America, as well as thousands of stores, which have provided tens of thousands of jobs. The entire RICK has formed an industrial chain of a luxury empire, including Wall Street institutions, municipalities in various states, and There are more than [-] employees who rely on RICK for their livelihood. Now who dares to find fault with RICK Group.

Eric knew that all of this was brought by Song Yang. Song Yang could leave RICK to support a new luxury brand, but RICK left Song Yang, can it be so smooth? !
The private plane landed at the New York airport. Song Yang didn't go back to the North Shore Manor of Long Island. Instead, he and Eric led a group of RICK executives to the Estee Lauder headquarters. If the opportunity is delayed, once the LVMH Group or other luxury giants come to their senses, if they want to swallow Estee Lauder again, I am afraid that there will be side effects.

"Director Bruno, President Eric!"

When Song Yang passed by, Augusta, the person in charge of RICK New York, was already waiting there.

Seeing Augusta, Song Yang patted him on the shoulder. Augusta's ability is very good, not just holding down Bernard Arnott before.

Compared with Eric, who was born halfway, Augusta is a veteran in the luxury industry. He was able to gain a firm foothold in New York, a battleground in the luxury industry. kicked out of New York.

"Augusta is from Tiffany?!"

Entering the Estee Lauder headquarters, when taking the elevator, Song Yang suddenly asked Augusta, and Eric and several RICK executives on the side immediately pricked up their ears.

Even though Song Yang is not often in RICK, Song Yang is no stranger to the entire RICK interior. There have been rumors that RICK has several key major mergers and acquisitions, the acquisition of Victoria's Secret, Gucci, and cabbage price taking Seagram from ICQ. The wine industry was all promoted by this major shareholder, otherwise RICK would not be so smooth, and now he suddenly heard Tiffany from the mouth of the big money owner, but no one would think that Song Yang just said it casually.

"Yes!"

Augusta was also taken aback for a moment, and then said cautiously, "My career started at Tiffany!"

In the rising elevator, Song Yang asked Augusta "inadvertently", "I heard that when you left Tiffany, Augusta, you seemed a little unhappy?"

Augusta used to be Tiffany's deputy in New York, but she suddenly let go of the burden, which caught Tiffany by surprise and claimed a lot of compensation from Augusta, and even wanted to use a non-compete agreement to Prohibiting Augusta from staying in the luxury goods industry, the troubles between the two sides were quite unpleasant.

Augusta couldn't figure out why Song Yang suddenly mentioned this, but he still said cautiously, "Those are in the past, and the problems between me and Tiffany have been resolved..."

Song Yang glanced back at Augusta, and when he was in the elevator, he said in a voice that was not loud but just enough for Augusta to hear, "Maybe one day, you can return to Tiffany at Augusta, but Not in the previous capacity, but as Tiffany's new president..."

The elevator door opened, and Song Yang walked out. Augusta was still standing in the elevator in a daze. Song Yang's words just now kept lingering in his mind, turning his mind upside down.

What does it mean to return to Tiffany and become the president of Tiffany? Maybe Song Yang is just a joke, or maybe it will become true?

In the state of Augusta's previous conflict with Tiffany, how could the other party invite him back to be the president, unless... Tiffany was acquired by RICK Group, and Augusta returned to Tiffany as the "winner"!

Thinking of this, Augusta's face turned red, and his scalp felt a little numb. What could be better than tearing up his former club, riding on the opponent's head to shit and piss, and sweeping out all the deadly enemies who once opposed him. For the more passionate revenge drama, Augusta has long heard that Song Yang is good at "painting cakes". No, it is inspiring, but when he really experienced it, Augusta still couldn't stop it.

Now Augusta suddenly has more expectations in his heart. Compared with receiving huge salaries and equity rewards, the expectations are higher, that is, one day, he will take RICK and tear up his former club Tiffany!
Eric turned his head and looked at Augusta, who seemed to have been beaten to death. Even though Augusta was a veteran professional manager who had been in the rivers and lakes for many years, he still couldn't stop Song Yang from making big cakes, but thinking of When he was on the plane, he himself couldn't resist the temptation of Song Yang's big cake. Eric suddenly understood Augusta, it was really that cake, it was too delicious...

"Song, is it true what you told Augusta?!" Eric asked in a low voice thinking about Song Yang. He didn't know if Song Yang was fooling Augusta or telling the truth.

Song Yang glanced at Eric strangely, "Why is it fake?"

This time it was Eric's turn to be stunned. Song Yang really intended to accept Tiffany, the oldest jewelry giant in America, which completely exceeded Eric's expectations.

"Eric, RICK is no longer a nightclub, you have to re-understand it, as long as it is in the luxury industry, you can buy whatever it likes!"

Song Yang shook his head. Eric has not corrected his mentality yet, and still looks at RICK with the old thinking. In fact, the current RICK is no different from the LVMH group. Only by killing opponents one by one can the stomach of hunger be filled, and it will last for many years!
