Vol 2 Chapter 378 Already a big tree

  Chapter 378 is already a big tree

“Oh…”

  After listening to Anna Wintour’s introduction, Abel nodded and said nothing.

  He was just curious about how Anna Wintour would bring such a beautiful little girl by her side.

   Even if you know his “hobbies” and want to “bribe” him in this regard, it’s not easy to bring such a small one, right?

   Abel, who has already tasted it, still prefers supermodels with long legs and fierce.

  For small sprouts, just try one or two once in a while.

   Too much is boring.

   After all, he is not Ah Xi.

   Now it seems that it is her daughter, so that’s easy to say.

  Abel turned his attention to Anna Wintour.

   When Anna Wintour was young, she should have been a beauty.

   This can be seen from her current silhouette and her daughter’s appearance.

   But time makes people old, and she is already in her fifties, no matter how you look at it, she is an old woman.

   “Ma’am.” In the box, Abel cut to the chase:

   “David told me that you have something to ask me. I don’t know what it is?”

   I saw it after Abel spoke.

  Anna Wintour took a deep breath, and she even closed her eyes for a while, as if to cheer herself up.

   “Mr. Smith…” Anna Wintour said softly, “I don’t know if you are interested in me?”

  Abel: “…”

  If it were your daughter, it would be about the same, but still a little small.

  伱’s words… Falk!

  Abel is getting a little angry.

   Seeing the smile disappearing from the corner of Abel’s mouth, Anna Wintour became a little flustered, and she also knew that she had said the wrong thing.

  This lady who has a high status in the fashion industry quickly explained:

   “Ah, sorry, I didn’t mean that. I mean, I don’t know if you, Mr. Smith, are interested in me working for you!”

  Hearing what she said, Abel didn’t turn his back and leave anyway.

  He raised his eyebrows and looked at Anna Wintour, “Ma’am, what do you mean by that? As far as I know, you and Mr. Donald Newhouse have always had a good relationship.”

  The relationship between Anna Wintour and Donald Newhouse has not always been good. Rather, for a long time, this devil in the fashion industry has always been the concubine of Donald Newhouse, a fashion media tycoon.

   Otherwise, how could Anna Wintour, who came to New York from London to develop alone, become the main article of “.VOGUE” magazine?

  Even if Anna Wintour really has a keen sense of fashion, she is a genius in this field.

   But even if she is a genius, she also needs a platform for her to display.

  Donald Newhouse gave her the platform that made Anna Wintour the current Devil Fashion.

   In other words, it was Donald Newhouse and .VOGUE that made Anna Wintour.

   It’s just that Anna Wintour did a really good job, making the already great “.VOGUE” even more powerful.

   Gradually, Anna Wintour also felt that she had made “VOGUE” magazine.

  With the passage of time, as well as Anna Wintour’s aging, some contradictions have arisen in terms of treatment and benefits.

  This is a bit like the “accomplishment theory” that has been debated between management and actors in Hollywood.

   That is, successful actors and their fans agree that they made the characters.

  The management believes that this is bullshit, and it is the role that makes the actor.

  Anna Wintour is very capable. From her point of view, she feels that she has accomplished herself.

  Even if there is no “VOGUE”, she feels that she can stand out and become a female devil.

  From the perspective of the management, it is “VOGUE” that made Anna Wintour.

  They feel that there is no “VOGUE”, Anna Wintour is now, maybe she doesn’t know where in the countryside of London, she is her little country tailor.

  It’s hard to say this kind of thing. But there is no doubt about the relationship between Anna Wintour and Donald Newhouse, who was once the same as Abel is with many girls now.

  Abel will ask this question.

  Anna Wintour nodded slightly, and she said:

   “Mr. Smith, it’s just like what you said. It’s not wrong. Even if my daughter is here, I dare to admit it… I used to be that old guy’s mistress.”

  She was very frank, and her deputy, Angelina, and her daughter, Catherine E. Schafer, didn’t have much reaction when they heard her say that.

   I don’t know if the three of them had already discussed it before they came.

  The two of them are already familiar with Anna Wintour’s character.

   “Then I’m curious. Is there any conflict between you and Mr. Newhouse now?”

  Abel kept his composure and asked with a smile.

  Anna Wintour nodded, then shook her head again.

   “To be precise, we have had irreconcilable conflicts since he started to stretch his claws to my daughter!”

  Abel raised his eyebrows, this… this Newhouse is better than himself.

  I am at best…just a sister. But this Newhouse, it seems that he wants to play something.

   “Then what do you mean now?” Abel said.

Anna Wintour took a deep breath again, “Actually, that old guy has had this idea since two years ago. But how could I let Catherine fall into the deep pit that I once fell into? I naturally Impossible to agree! Since then, this old ghost has been suppressing me! If it weren’t for “VOGUE” not being able to leave me, I might have been fired a long time ago…”

   Seeing that Anna Wintour was about to make a long speech, Abel interrupted her:

   “Ma’am, my time is precious. Get straight to the point. Say what you want, what you want from me, and what I can get.”

  ‘Damn capitalist! ‘

  Anna Wintour thought in her heart, so she nodded and said:

  “My original idea was to take away the entire VOGUE. It has devoted too much effort to it. Without me, it would not be what it is now.”

  Abel found that the old woman was particularly prone to deviate from the topic when speaking.

   Fortunately, he also has time now, so he had to listen patiently.

   “…but I found that hard. These vampires, they’re too good to shoppingmode control. Even I can’t do it.”

  Abel couldn’t help laughing, he really thought it was funny.

   I don’t know who or what gave Anna Wintour such courage.

  The United States does not have Liang Jingru.

   “VOGUE” is a real cash cow for any media company.

  It’s just a beater, even the most powerful beater, saying that he wants to take away the boss’s cash cow.

   Don’t say whether it can be done, even if it can be done. The capital side will definitely teach the workers what capital is.

  He killed himself with eight gunshots behind his back, that’s capital.

   Last street was hit by a truck and flew into the sky, which is also capital.

  In one’s own bathroom, drowning to death is also capital.

   Or ran to the beach in the middle of the night and disappeared, which is also capital.

   Anna Wintour can’t take “VOGUE”, which is a good thing for her.

  If she can really do it, she will know what capital is before she dies.

   “So all I can do now is to protect Catherine. But I don’t want to continue working under that old ghost.”

  Anna Wintour looked at Abel very seriously, “I have already looked for many people. Sir…really.”

“for example?”

  Abel relaxed physically and mentally, leaned back on the chair, stretched out his hands, and hugged Li Xinyu and Li Xuxian on the left and right.

   Li Xinyu naturally snuggled up to her. Li Xuxian’s body tensed immediately, but she didn’t push or leave.

   Just keep your head down, occasionally peeking at Abel, or her sister.

  The opposite Anna Wintour continued:

   “I have approached Hearst, they have ELLE, fashion series, and they are more powerful fashion media than Newhouse.”

  Abel nodded.

  The Hearst family of the Amanda sisters is very powerful in the fashion media industry.

   Hearst Group owns almost half of the top 10 fashion magazines in the world.

  It is even stronger in this respect than Newhouse’s American Condé Nast Group.

   “But Hearst rejected me. They didn’t want to cause trouble, and the editors on their side didn’t welcome me. We have been fighting for many years, and I may still be on their heads after I pass. They can’t agree.”

  Abel knew it was normal, but he didn’t want to hear the old woman’s rambling.

  He said directly: “Ma’am, please. Get to the point. Say what you want to do, or what I can get, just say these two.”

   Anna Wintour was silent. She found that her very useful way of talking was useless on Abel’s side.

  The key point is that she still asks Abel, Anna Wintour can only say softly:

“Okay. Then I will say it directly. Mr. Smith, I am willing to take at least 80% of the American version of “VOGUE”, and more than 50% of the European and Asian versions. I can leave “VOGUE” with at least 500 fashion elites !”

  The stylish old woman stared straight at Abel.

   “Mr. Smith, I wonder if you dare to accept us?!”

  Abel was a little moved, not by the old woman.

   But to the old woman, the 500 elites of “VOGUE” magazine were moved.

  Whether it is in the past or the future, even if the Internet era comes in the future.

  From the era of paper media to the present magazines.

  They all have a place in the media, and they are still very important.

  Smith Media has always attached great importance to this.

  This can be seen from the fact that Abel has personally stood up for the “New York Observer” many times.

  Even in the Internet age, the sales of paper media will become very poor.

  However, the influence of those more elite magazines will have a larger audience and market because of the wide spread of the Internet.

  The Internet will expand everything and push magazines to the whole world, in front of all audiences who like them.

  Regardless of past and present, magazine media mainly rely on sales and advertising to make money.

   It is still a magazine that will mainly make money on the Internet in the future, relying on traffic and advertising.

  They have one thing in common, that is, in addition to the brand, they attach great importance to the quality of the content.

  And for magazines, an elite and capable editorial department. There is no doubt that it can be made even better.

  Why is VOGUE so powerful? Known as the first holy book in the fashion industry.

  In addition to brand inertia, the most important thing is its editors.

  Although Abel can’t appreciate it, the content of “VOGUE” magazine in their circle is infinitely praised by their circle, which is why “VOGUE” magazine has its current status.

  If Anna Wintour could really hollow out the editorial department of “VOGUE” magazine at once.

  Abel feels that “VOGUE” will be very uncomfortable for a long time, maybe one or two years.

   Or in other words, the vitality is seriously injured.

   And if Smith Media can get this large group of fashion media elites.

  The fashion media sector of Smith Media, which was originally so weak that it was almost nothing, can become one of the fashion powers almost at once.

   It was a long story, but it only took Abel a second or two to figure it out.

   He immediately responded to Anna Wintour.

   “What’s the difficulty?”

  Abel smiled and said:

   “Don’t talk about Condé Nast. Even Advanced Publishing Group, we are not afraid of it. Ms. Wintour, as long as what you say is true. As long as you are willing to work for me, then I can protect you.”

  Abel’s statement is very direct.

  Because Wintour’s statement is more attractive, after thinking about it, he added:

   “Trust me, I have the ability to protect you. Look at Michael and Britney. On my side, these two are happier than anyone else.”

   “Look at MJ, the Oilers don’t bother him anymore. Why? It’s just that he’s working for me and I can protect him.”

   In fact, it prompted Anna Wintour to make up her mind and lead the team to defect to Abel.

   Among them are Michael Jackson, and Britney Spears factor.

   It’s not that these two people persuaded Anna Wintour to come and join Abel.

   These two people are not that familiar with Anna Wintour.

   It was the story that happened to these two people, which made Anna Wintour feel that Abel had the ability to protect her if he wanted to.

  Like Michael Jackson, what was the most important reason that got him into the predicament he was in before?

   Is it really shoppingmode Sony’s quagmire and entanglement?

  The majestic King of Pop is almost one of the symbols of American pop culture. Michael Jackson was so targeted by the neon cabinet. Americans have no idea?

   Those black people have no idea?

   You must know that although MJ looks white on the outside, his core is black.

  Black is ZZZQ in the United States. With the banner of ZZZQ in hand, even capital will be afraid.

   But shoppingmode Sony still did not miss him.

  The reason is because several years ago, I don’t know if it was sincere, or it was a leak, or it was unintentional.

  Michael Jackson said something unfriendly to oil people in front of the public media, and was even considered anti-oil.

   That’s when it started.

  When facing MJ, shoppingmode Sony began to become more and more tough, more and more daring to use means.

   So it’s obvious.

   That was after that, at least with MJ. Behind the Sony Music Group, the oil man has already appeared.

   You guys are in this country, that is a more dangerous thing than ZZZQ.

   With the blessing of oily BUFF, MJ can’t please shoppingmode Sony Music in front of him.

   And smart people know why MJ fell into this situation.

   This is why few of MJ’s “friends” dare to stand up except Ikana and her father.

  In this country, who would dare to brazenly confront the Brahmins?

  If it weren’t for the appearance of Abel, MJ’s shoppingmode fate would most likely still fall as in parallel time and space.

   Just like twenty years later in parallel time and space, there are also a few old blacks who think they are enough to ZZZQ and believe in the power of BLM.

   Actually dared to challenge the big ominous thing…

   Of course the ending is very bad, after all, there is no Abel Smith in that time and space.

  After defecting to Abel Smith, and publicly showing friendship with many well-known Oilers figures in the media.

   The dark clouds entangled in the shoppingmode fate of Michael Jackson gradually dissipated.

  Many caring people have discovered this.

  They also saw in the media that Abel has a good relationship with many big oil things.

   Like Bloomberg.

   Such as Soros.

  Plus the rumors that Smith of Texas is going to marry Bush, who is also in Texas.

  This makes many caring people feel that Abel Smith is already a strong tree.

  Even if he is very young, even if he appeared for a short time.

  As one of the caring people, Anna Wintour thought about it for a long time.

   Now finally decided to go to him.

   She felt that if Smith would help, she would be happy to take her word.

  At least she doesn’t have to worry about blows and revenge from Newhouse.

  At the end of last year, “VOGUE” interviewed Abel and took fashion photos for Abel.

  Anna Wintour had this idea.

   It’s just that she didn’t make it clear, and she was still thinking about it at the time.

   After all, Abel at that time was already the traffic king.

   But no matter what, especially not having experienced 9/11.

  He doesn’t have the influence he has now.

  At that time, George hadn’t lived in the white house yet.

  After this year, as time passed, her thoughts became clearer.

  If anyone tracks the changes here, they will find Anna Wintour’s admiration and admiration for Abel.

   It started at the end of last year and became more and more exaggerated this year.

   It can be said that more than half of Abel’s fans in the fashion industry and ordinary people outside the United States can be counted as being blown out by Anna Wintour.

   It’s just that Abel doesn’t rely on traffic to make a living, nor does he rely on fame to make money.

  Anna Wintour’s painstaking efforts were of little use to him.

  He naturally did not notice Anna Wintour’s intentions.

   Today, Anna Wintour just discovered that Abel came to her restaurant for dinner.

   As the daughter got older, Newhouse got tighter and tighter.

  Anna Wintour chose to break the boat and came to have an interview with Abel.

   Now that Abel received an affirmative reply, Anna Wintour laughed happily.

   “Mr. Smith. I am very willing to work for you.” Anna Wintour said with a smile:

   “I remember Smith Media. In terms of fashion magazines and art magazines, there is currently only one “Elizabeth’s Back Garden” magazine and one “Fashion Smith.”

   “I am willing to be their editor-in-chief. And as long as you use some strength, then we can bring them to Europe and Asia soon. Please believe me, we have such capabilities!”

  Wintour’s departure this time did not only take away people from the American side of “VOGUE”.

  Because of her strong influence within the magazine and her huge appeal in the fashion industry.

   And with the help of her friends.

  Anna Wintour is sure that in addition to “VOGUE” America, the editorial offices of “VOGUE” magazines in the other two regions will be emptied by at least half.

   Directly change the cage, and wipe out the elite editors of “VOGUE”.

   “VOGUE” made Anna Wintour.

  The current fashion devil, although she can’t take away “VOGUE” from Condé Nast Group.

  But she has a way to destroy “VOGUE” at once!

  The premise is that someone can save her, lest she have an accident or something.

   After looking around, Anna Wintour found the one she thought was most suitable.

   “Then it’s settled.”

  Abel was also very decisive, don’t reject this kind of door-to-door benefit.

  Others are afraid of Condé Nast Group, or the advanced publishing behind it.

  But now Abel, although he can’t do anything about it, is no longer afraid of any challenge from Newhouse.

  Abel stood up in front of Anna Wintour for the first time, with a gentle tone and a smile reaching out to her:

   “Welcome to Smith Media, ma’am.”

  Anna Wintour also felt the change in his attitude.

  The fashionable old woman laughed, and shook his hand respectfully, “I am very happy, Mr. Smith!”
