One thousand and thirty-six chapters are full of tricks and all kinds of requests)
Since Hollywood gatekeeper Harvey Weinstein broke into the lower body, the rise of feminism in the entertainment industry has become a trend. Although everyone has not formed a witch hunting operation, many celebrities with bad behavior have been destroyed by being involved in the storm circle. Now this "fire" has finally spread to the fashion circle.
At this sensitive juncture, EO of Guess, who is also creative director Paul Macirno, uses his influence in the industry to harass and mentally bully new model who has not yet celebrated his 16th birthday. He was even beaten on the spot by the model's agent. Not only were he brought back to the police for investigation, but he was also sent to court by the female model.
Suddenly, the whole United States was in an uproar. The problem of xing harassment that had finally subsided was once again rampant. What surprised and excited everyone was that the company to which the female model belonged was actually Andy Smith's asset, which made many people sigh for Paul Machirno that God could not stop it.
However, what surprised more young people was the information of the female model reported by various media. Looking at Kate Upton's 33D basketball nai, all the men drooled and understood why the 58-year-old Paul's old ghost could not control his inner slut. Damn, it was too big.
The new generation of Ru God in the United States was rumored to be called out!
At the same time, Paul Machirno quickly pushed the xiong to clear everything, so he immediately used the media to shout from a distance: "This is a false accusation... I am not afraid of being a shady figure!!"
The helmsman of the big brand with confidence met a new model with a unrestrained style and a label of "Xiong's brainlessness", and many people did stand on Paul's side, guessing that Kate was taking advantage of the popularity to "knock out" to hype, attracting a lot of attacks and insults.
The media and the public who are not interested in watching the fun have worked together to make this news a focus. You should know that if Paul Machirno is found guilty, it will be really miserable. After all, Kate Upton is at the age of there, it will not only be a matter of sky-high compensation, but also face jail.
Moreover, according to US law, employers must bear joint and several liability. Once a harassment occurs, if the employer does not explicitly prohibit harassment, or does not take measures to prevent such incidents from happening, or fails to take action after receiving reports from the harassed person, and cannot effectively stop the continued occurrence of the incident, he will bear the consequences of compensation.
When it was reported from the court that Kate Upton's attorney demanded $200 million in compensation, Guess' stock price immediately collapsed, falling 17.75%, and its market value evaporated by $250 million.
Andy lay leisurely and comfortably on the boss' chair, put his feet on the desk, and used a small file to repair his nails without a second. Facing the busy hall of the Free City Investment Company, the sound of keyboards was crackling in his ears.
"Boss, after the Guess company held a press conference, their stock price has stopped falling and there are signs of a slight rebound..."
Budstone walked to the desk with a statement, handed it to Andy who leaned forward and reached out to take the document. Andy looked at the statement of Guess with a contemptuous sneer. They pushed it cleanly, and even took off Paul Machirno's position as a creative director like a cut off his arm, hoping to get rid of the adverse effects on Guess.
"Haha, things are not that simple..." Andy sneered and threw the statement on the table, and picked up the cell phone on the table, "Hey, it's me, let Kate prepare for an exclusive interview on the am cable news channel, so that she can tell the outside world that her agent has evidence in her hands."
After hanging up the phone, Andy raised his eyebrows and said to Budstone: "Continue to short, this decline is not enough for us to mobilize funds once, and it is not enough to put a gap between teeth. Make a profit first and then start to absorb funds. After going back and forth, you can spend a lot of money less, tsk tsk."
"Well, because we used leverage to short before the opening, the current income is 90 million."
Hearing this number, Andy said a little unhappy: "Even the evaporated market value is less than half, and he is adding 200 million yuan in principal and 10 times the leverage."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Budstone had long been accustomed to his big boss' greed and pursuit of wealth. If it weren't for the fact that the basic base of the guess company was not large, they would have really used money to defeat each other from the beginning, but now they can only slowly squeeze the long chips.
Just as Budstone was about to turn around and leave, Andy called him and continued to ask, "How is the Starbucks there?"
"The decline is not big, but it is still a downward trend. Many institutions use the adjustment to sell ratings. News came from Australia. Australian media reported that Starbucks' difficult losses in Australia have maintained a lot of reports. Starbucks cannot compete with Australia's mature coffee culture. Australia's most influential newspaper "Theage" even commented, 'Starbucks memorandum: Try selling ice to the Eskimos next time'... It is reported that 61 of the current 87 stores may be closed. The market has not yet responded to this."
Hearing this, Andy shook his head and laughed, and complained: "How can a fast food beverage be compared with local specialty coffee in Tujiao? Especially the coffee shops on the streets, almost every store has a treasure. Starbucks' business is too rigid. Since you want to grab someone's market, you have to follow the local customs and cater to the tastes of the locals. It's just like KF in the Celestial Empire. Well, you don't know if you say that the comparison between KF in the US and the Celestial Empire is simply weak!
Well, after I join Starbucks, I will definitely make overseas strategic adjustments. Each country should be different and must have its own unique killer weapon. Just like now, the latte is like a beef with coffee powder, and will sooner or later be kicked out by some countries with strong local coffee culture."
When he heard that his boss had not yet joined the company, he began to think about adjusting the company's strategy. Badstone could only smile and expressed his sincere admiration for his boss's behavior of trying to mess with the other party if he liked him, and then he then ate the other party's Ren Xing's approach. This is really rich Ren Xing.
Andy pondered for a moment, picked up the phone again, and called the editor-in-chief of Newsweek.
"Jon, you send an ace reporter to give Starbucks eO Howard Schultz an exclusive interview... Yes, let him talk about the difficulties faced by Australia and Italy, and then return the interview manuscript to process... As for how to process it, of course, the difficulties should be emphasized. You can find Australian newspapers to take a look."
Looking at the boss who hung up the phone, Budstone was completely speechless. He was really doing everything he could. It was unimaginable that when the Black Knights plan officially started to launch the malicious acquisition, the answer was revealed, and the boss walked to the front desk, and Howard Schultz would die by being angry and vomited blood.
Using Starbucks eo interviews to suppress Starbucks, tsk, there are so many tricks!
