Chapter 198 Victoria's Secret Development

On the bustling streets of New York, the sun shines brightly in every corner.

The iconic pink sign of the Victoria's Secret lingerie store shines charmingly in the sun, and the store is bustling with people coming and going.

Ever since the successful Victoria's Secret fashion show that stunned the world, the Victoria's Secret lingerie store seemed to have been injected with a magical power, and its development momentum has become increasingly rapid.

Li Muchen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the Victoria's Secret headquarters, overlooking the hustle and bustle of the city, her heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

He recalled the moment he decided to invest $600 million. It was a big gamble, but he firmly believed in Victoria's Secret's brand potential and market prospects.

Now, watching Victoria's Secret rapidly expand from dozens or hundreds of stores to thousands across the United States, he knows that his decision was correct.

"Victoria's Secret's success is inseparable from the efforts of everyone." Li Muchen narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and revealed a confident smile.

He turned back to his desk and picked up a document that detailed Victoria's Secret's development data and market analysis.

His eyes were focused and determined, as if he was thinking about the future development direction of Victoria's Secret.

Suddenly, his eyes stopped at a report on women's health. The report mentioned that stockings have a certain effect in preventing varicose veins in women.

An idea immediately flashed through Li Muchen's mind: Why not include stockings in the Victoria's Secret product line? This would not only provide women with more fashion choices, but also pay attention to their health needs.

Thinking of this, Li Muchen stood up excitedly. He couldn't wait to put this idea into practice. He picked up the phone and dialed Xu Yaqin's number.

"Yaqin, I have a new idea I want to discuss with you." Li Muchen said anxiously as soon as the phone was connected.

At this moment, Xu Yaqin was sitting on the sofa at home, enjoying a rare quiet moment. She gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, a happy smile on her face.

Hearing Li Muchen's voice, she said gently: "Dear, what are you thinking? Tell me."

"I think we can add stockings to Victoria's Secret products. You know, stockings have a certain effect in preventing varicose veins, and it can also expand our product line. What do you think?" Li Muchen said excitedly.

Xu Yaqin frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Well, this is a good idea. However, we need to consider issues such as the design, quality, and market demand of the stockings. In addition, we need to conduct market research to see how consumers accept this product."

Li Muchen nodded, knowing that Xu Yaqin's considerations were justified. "You're right, Yaqin. We all need to seriously consider these issues. However, I believe that as long as we put our heart into it, we will succeed."

Xu Yaqin smiled and said, "I believe you too, dear. But I'm pregnant now, so I may not be able to devote myself to my work." There was a hint of helplessness and apology in her eyes.

Li Muchen quickly said, "Yaqin, don't worry. Your most important task now is to take good care of yourself and the baby. I will take care of the company's affairs. I plan to find a suitable person to temporarily take over your management of the company, and you can come back after you give birth."

Xu Yaqin felt a warm feeling in her heart after hearing what Li Muchen said. She knew that Li Muchen had always cared about her and the baby. "Thank you, dear. You are always so considerate."

Li Muchen smiled and said, "Silly boy, we are a family, no need to say thank you. Don't worry, I will find a capable and reliable person to manage the company."

After hanging up the phone, Li Muchen began to look for a suitable candidate.

He screened the company internally and interviewed several external candidates, but he still couldn't find someone who satisfied him.

Just when he was feeling a little anxious, he met a woman named Lin Xiao by chance.

Lin Xiao is a senior practitioner in the fashion industry. She has held management positions in many well-known fashion brands and has rich experience and outstanding leadership skills.

Li Muchen had an in-depth conversation with Lin Xiao and was impressed by Lin Xiao's professionalism and unique insights into fashion. He felt that Lin Xiao was the person he had been looking for.

"Ms. Lin Xiao, I admire your abilities and experience very much. I believe that you will be able to lead Victoria's Secret to an even brighter future." Li Muchen looked at Lin Xiao and said sincerely.

Lin Xiao smiled slightly, feeling Li Muchen's trust and expectations. "Mr. Li, thank you for your appreciation. I'm also very interested in the Victoria's Secret brand, and I believe we can have a pleasant cooperation."

In this way, Li Muchen decided to hire Lin Xiao to temporarily replace Xu Yaqin to manage Victoria's Secret.

On Lin Xiao's first day in office, Li Muchen personally took her to visit various departments of the company and introduced her to the company's basic situation and development strategy.

"Lin Xiao, Victoria's Secret is a brand with great potential. Our goal is to become the world's leading fashion lingerie brand." Li Muchen's eyes were full of anticipation. "I hope you can give full play to your professional advantages, lead the team to continuous innovation, and enhance the brand's competitiveness."

Lin Xiao nodded, her eyes firm and confident. "Mr. Li, don't worry. I will do my best to live up to your trust."

In the following days, Lin Xiao quickly immersed himself in work.

She gained an in-depth understanding of Victoria's Secret's products and markets, communicated and exchanged ideas with team members, and developed a series of practical development plans.
