Chapter 1036

Ever since Harvey Weinstein, the gatekeeper of Hollywood, broke his lower body, the rise of women's rights in the entertainment industry has become a trend. Although everyone is not in danger of forming a witch hunt, there are also many stars with bad behavior who have been involved in the storm circle. All ruined. Now this "fire" has finally spread to the fashion circle.

At this sensitive juncture, GUESS CEO and Creative Director Paul Magirno used his influence in the industry to sexually harass and mentally bully a new model who had not yet passed his 16th birthday, and was even accused by the model's agent The man was beaten violently on the spot, not only brought back by the police for investigation, but also brought to court by the female model.

All of a sudden there was an uproar in the United States, and the sexual harassment issue that had finally subsided slowly became rampant again. What surprised and excited everyone was that the company to which the female model belonged turned out to be an asset of Andy Smith, which made many people think that Paul Magerno Lamented that people want to die, even God can't stop it.

But what amazed more young people was the profile of the female model reported by various media. Looking at Kate Upton's 33D basketball NAI, all the men were drooling and understood the 58-year-old Paul. Why can't the old seductress restrain his inner passion, damn, it's too big.

This is how the new generation of Ru gods in the United States is passed on!

At the same time, Paul Machierno also hurriedly cleared everything up, so he immediately used the media to shout out: "This is a slander...the body is not afraid of the shadow crooked!!"

The confident helm of a big name, when meeting a new model with a bold style of painting and a label of "big brainless", many people did stand by Paul's side, guessing that Kate was just taking advantage of the popularity to "make a fortune" to hype, Invited a lot of attacks and abuse.

The media public opinion and the people who watched the excitement made this news a focus. You must know that if Paul Magerno is convicted of the crime, it will be really miserable. After all, Kate Upton is at the age of Put it there, it is not only a question of sky-high compensation, but also facing the disaster of imprisonment.

Moreover, according to US law, the employer must bear joint and several liabilities. Once a harassment incident occurs, if the employer does not expressly prohibit harassment, or does not take measures to prevent such incidents from happening, or fails to take action after receiving reports from the harassed, and cannot effectively stop the incident from happening, it must bear compensation s consequence.

When it came out from the court that Kate Upton's attorney demanded US$200 million in compensation, Guess's stock price immediately plummeted by 17.75%, and its market value evaporated by US$250 million.

Andy was lying on the boss's chair with a relaxed and comfortable face, with his feet crossed on the desk, using a small file to cut and fix his nails, facing the busy lobby of Liberty City Investment Company , I heard the sound of crackling keyboards.

"boss,

After the Guess company held a press conference, their stock prices have now stopped falling, and there are signs of a slight recovery. . . "

Bardstone walked to the desk with a statement and handed it to Andy who leaned forward and took the document. Andy looked at the statement from Guess with a contemptuous sneer on his face. They pushed it cleanly, and He also took away the positions of CEO and creative director of Paul Magirno like a strong man, hoping to get rid of the adverse impact on Guess company.

"Hehe, it's not that simple..." Andy sneered and threw the statement on the table, and picked up the phone on the table, "Hey, it's me, and Kate is going to be on the AMC cable news channel." An exclusive interview 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 Bardstone: "Continue to short, this drop is not enough for us to mobilize funds once, and it is not enough to squeeze our teeth. Make a fortune first, and then start Accumulate, come and go, can save a lot of money, tsk tsk."

"Well, because we used leverage to short the market before the market opened, the current profit is 90 million."

Hearing this figure, Andy said with some displeasure: "Even the evaporated market value is less than half, and I'm adding 200 million principal, 10 times leverage."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Bardstone has long been accustomed to the greed of his big boss and the pursuit of wealth. If it weren't for the fact that Guess Company's basic market is not big, they would really start from one. In the beginning, they directly used money to overwhelm the opponent, but now they can only slowly squeeze the bargaining chips of the bulls.

Just as Budstone was about to turn around and leave, Andy stopped him and continued to ask, "How is Starbucks going?"

"The decline is not large, but it is still in a downward trend. Many agencies have adjusted their sell ratings. There is news from Australia. Australian media have reported on Starbucks' difficult loss in Australia. Starbucks cannot compete with Australia's mature coffee. Cultural confrontation. Australia's most influential newspaper "The Age" even commented, "Starbucks memo: try selling ice to Eskimos next time." According to reports, the current 87 stores may close 61. The market hasn’t reacted to that yet.”

Hearing this, Andy also shook his head and laughed, and complained: "How can a fast food drink compare with the local specialty coffee in Tu'ao, especially the small coffee shops all over the street, almost every one has the treasure of the town shop, Starbucks' business is too Rigid, since you want to grab other people’s market, you have to do as the Romans do and cater to the tastes of the locals, just like KFC in China, well, you don’t know, the comparison between KFC in the United States and China’s is simply weak!

Well, after I take over Starbucks, I will definitely make overseas strategic adjustments. Each country should be different, and must have its own special killer feature. Like now, the latte is made like milk with coffee powder. Sooner or later, it will be kicked out by some countries with strong local coffee culture. "

Hearing that his boss complained about adjusting his company's strategy before he joined his company, Bardstone could only smile. For his own boss, he would think of ways to torment the other party, and then annex the other party. He expressed his heartfelt admiration for his willful approach. This damn is the one who is really rich and willful.

Andy pondered for a while, picked up the phone again, and called the editor-in-chief of "Newsweek".

"Jon, you send an ace reporter to do an exclusive interview with Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz... Yes, let him talk about the difficulties faced by Australia and Italy, and then return the interview draft for processing... .As for how to process it, of course, it is difficult to talk about it. You should look for Australian newspapers."

Looking at the boss who hung up the phone, Budstone was completely speechless. He was really omnipotent. It was unimaginable. When the black knight plan for hostile takeover was officially launched, the mystery was revealed, and the big boss stepped forward. At the front desk, will Howard Schultz vomit blood and die from anger?

Using Starbucks CEO's interview to suppress Starbucks, tsk tsk, it's really full of tricks!
