Chapter 213 The Rich Ladies

"I heard you were here on vacation, Ivana. I hope you enjoyed yourself."

Milo smiled and spoke to the future First Daughter of the United States in a parallel universe.

Ivana, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, had long, smooth brown hair that fell to her shoulders and was about five feet ten inches tall (177.8 cm).

She wore a turmeric jacket, a tight skirt and 5-inch high heels, which showed off her graceful curves.

She also has an indescribable elegance, and is pretty, charming and full of energy.

Something was jumping around under her clothes, making people wonder if she had hidden some small animal inside.

"Yes, I am very happy here. Basically I come here twice a year, once during summer vacation and once during winter vacation."

She smiled, looked at Milo, and added softly:

"I was so happy when I heard you were coming last night. I...I called Ariana and she said she knew you were coming. But she had something to do, so she couldn't come here to spend the holiday with you."

"She said I'm familiar with this place. If you're willing, I can be your tour guide."

Milo smiled and didn't try to expose the girl's thoughts.

Ariana was not able to come because of something.

Her family probably didn't allow her to come.

Florida Mutual's interest is a bit larger.

Rockefeller may have had a hand in this as well.

It may even occupy a large piece.

Milo is a person who particularly likes to take advantage of situations to cause trouble.

Perhaps this is what Rockefeller was worried about.

Of course, it could also be that she really has something to do and can't come.

After all, in a few months, the two will get engaged and become a real engaged couple.

"Would you like that, Ivana?"

Milo: "Oh, I mean the whole thing about you being my tour guide."

"Of course I'm willing as long as you're willing." Ivana smiled very appropriately.

"Okay. Then...my tour guide, please take me to visit this one-of-a-kind Sea-Lago estate that Tang mentioned on the phone."

"With pleasure!"

Mar-a-Lago is a typical Spanish bay style, and "water" is one of the soul elements of Spanish style.

In the division of space, Mar-a-Lago uses a large number of water systems and green belts as separating media.

The building is distinguished from the external nature, and the atmosphere of the waterfront is scattered in every corner, from community space to living space.

Ignoring the presence of mosquitoes, this architectural style is the most comfortable to live in.

However, mosquitoes are not impossible to exist, especially mosquitoes in a tropical climate like Florida.

But after all, it is a luxury house, so a variety of mosquito prevention methods can be used.

Relatively speaking, it is quite comfortable to live here.

Ivana smiled and talked as she led Milo to the private residence in the center of Mar-a-Lago, while constantly introducing her family's huge Spanish Mediterranean-style manor to Milo.

"Are those your friends?"

Sudden.

she heard Milo say.

"Yes. They came here with me from New York for the holiday."

Ivana looked at Milo and pointed at the four little ones who were looking over here.

She still nodded softly.

"I heard that they are the daughters of the Hearst and Hilton families in New York?"

"Yes."

"It seems like Don has a pretty good relationship with Hearst and Hilton?"

Ivana hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement.

In fact, before I met Milo.

Gimpel was unilaterally courted and close to New York's prominent families such as Hearst and Hilton.

Because for Gimp at that time, Hilton and Hearst were prominent families.

It was exactly the ceiling of his connections and social class.

As for Newhouse, Astor, and Sulzberger, who are of higher levels, Gimp is not qualified to associate with them.

Not to mention the higher-ranking Rockefeller, Mellon and others.

Jin Pu wanted to complete the class leap, with the ceiling he could reach at that time.

There are only wealthy Oiler families like Hearst and Hilton.

So at that time, it was Gimp who was chasing them and trying to get close to their parties and social circles.

But all this changed two years ago.

Two years ago, Kimple met Milo.

Since then, the Gimp family has become a big name in New York.

In turn, the Hearst and Hilton families' attitudes toward Gimp improved greatly.

And Gimp hasn't really achieved a class leap yet, but Milo admires him more.

At best, he can only be considered as a peripheral figure of the Boston consortium.

He was in no position to refuse the kindness of Hearst and Hilton.

After a few interactions, the relationship between the two sides became closer than before.

This is reflected in the younger generation like Ivana.

Their interactions became closer.

We can even come to Florida for vacation together during holidays.

In the past, Sister Paris might have come with her.

There was no way the Hester sisters could come together.

In their small circle, the Hester sisters used to be the highest ranking!

"Then let them come over."

Milo smiled:

"Mr. Hearst and I are friends, and I have also met the Hilton gentlemen. If they don't mind, perhaps we can have lunch together later."

Hearst played a big role in Milo's integration of TBS.

It is also a media company that has cooperated frequently with Paladin Media Group.

Especially in the field of fashion.

Speaking of Hilton, Milo held several cocktail parties in New York and most of them were held at the Hilton Hotel.

Because of Gimp, he has a good relationship with the Hilton family.

And both families are oilmen.

Throughout Milo’s rise, the team he had the least contact with has always been the Oilers.

In order to prevent these jackals from overthinking, it is necessary to show them some goodwill occasionally.

"I think they must be very happy."

Although I feel that it would be better if they were not here at this time.

But Ivana is a rational and sensible girl.

She smiled and waved over there, motioning Hester and the others to come over here.

The female bodyguards over there naturally also received the boss's pass to pass.

Amanda and the others, with reserved smiles on their faces, came over to join Milo and Ivana.

Among the five little ones.

Ivana can be said to be an acquaintance.

Paris has also been seen a few times at cocktail parties.

As for the remaining three daughters of wealthy New York families, this was the first time he met them.

Amanda Hearst has light blonde hair and is very elegant.

Like Paris, she joined a modeling agency this year.

With the support of her family, she has developed very well and is now a rising socialite in the New York celebrity circle.

Lydia Hearst has light black hair and looks more charming than Amanda.

She seemed to be the most introverted of the five, and was the one who pulled back the fastest when Milo shook hands.

The Paris sisters are much more outgoing.

Especially the youngest one, Nicky Hilton, who even asked Milo for a hug after shaking hands. I don’t know what perfume she sprayed on her body, the little girl looked soft and fragrant.

After some greetings, I introduced myself.

In this way, we got to know each other.

"Oh, the Miami Bikini Show?"

On the way to the central residence of Mar-a-Lago.

Milo heard Paris and Amanda, the most outgoing, mention the fashion event.

"Yes!"

Paris, who was very familiar with the place, smiled and said, "Miami is the fashion city in the world that holds the most bikini swimsuit shows every year! From January to December every year, there are several swimsuit brands holding shows here every month! We originally planned to go back to New York after watching the Speedo bikini swimsuit show tomorrow."

It seems that Milo doesn't quite understand this.

Amanda Hearst made it clear to him in a very concise, yet easy to understand tone.

Due to climate, local ethnic groups and culture.

Miami has always been a famous swimsuit fashion destination in the United States and even the world.

Internationally renowned swimwear brands including Speedo, ZOKE and Vanderan hold several swimwear fashion shows here every year.

Moreover, although Miami itself cannot compare with New York, Milan and London on the international fashion stage, it has always been at the forefront.

"By the way." Amanda Hearst smiled beautifully and added:

"Milo, your media group owns a lingerie company called Victoria's Secret. It looks like there will be a bikini fashion show here in a couple of days."

"Really?"

Milo smiled: "I'm sorry, I really don't know. When a company becomes big, there will always be such omissions in management."

At this time, everyone had arrived at the large living room in the private residence in the middle of Mar-a-Lago.

This is a Spanish-style living room with a ceiling height of at least twelve meters, a towering dome, and magnificent decorations in a very Gimp style.

Ivana acted like a hostess and invited everyone to take their seats.

But Milo didn't stay with them for too long.

After all, there are too many people, five of us together.

If one or two of them were alone, he could try the taste of New York socialites.

Although their ages are generally still 16-17.

But European and American women mature early, and he can eat Britney.

so……

After lunch, Milo said goodbye to them temporarily.

He came to the study in Mar-a-Lago, which had been completely transformed by a professional team that had been brought together almost worldwide.

Sitting in front of the computer monitor in the study, Milo was looking at the information on the screen while listening to the latest news and various analytical conclusions about the competition among various parties over Florida Mutual Bank reported to him by the Smith Foundation.

"...In short, the situation has been decided?"

"Is that so?"

He looked at the second-in-command Andre and asked.

Andre nodded slightly and replied, "Yes. Boss, we came too late. Mellon, Morgan and even the Californians started planning four or five years ago. Before the collapse of Florida Mutual Bank, every part of it had been marked with the owner's name."

"call……"

Milo let out a sigh of annoyance.

Because if that were the case, it would mean that his trip was in vain.

Andre seemed to have noticed his boss's displeasure.

He immediately added in a low voice: "But, Boss, it's not like we can't get some meat. Most of the stocks controlled by Florida Mutual Bank have been mortgaged because of losses."

"As long as we can do it, we can get some shares of companies like Mass Market."

Milo nodded.

He thought this was reasonable.

The United States is a country controlled by capital.

But the capitalists will also fight fiercely among themselves.

Wherever there is a vicious fight there will be losers, and the losers will become the spoils of the victor.

But because of the complex internal relationships, the victor will have to give up part of the spoils for others to enjoy.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It's like Milo got a large share of Yahoo and Paladin Media stock.

Now he is also qualified to sit at the table.

However, due to insufficient preparation, the main part of Florida Mutual Bank could not be obtained.

But in order to appease him, others will definitely give up some benefits to a certain extent.

Otherwise, next time, no one else will be able to get any benefits from him.

"Okay. That's it." Milo put his body on the boss's recliner, "Eat as much as you can. Well, give priority to the shares of the Mass Supermarket Company."

Mass Mart is a retail giant similar to Wal-Mart and Kmart.

The difference is that Walmart and Kmart are both public companies.

Although Mass Market is not listed, it is even ranked among the top ten private companies in the United States in terms of scale.

There are nearly 500 branches in the United States, with more than 20,000 employees, and the supply chain can affect more than 100,000 people, not to mention the vast market.

If they could control it, plus Milo already controls 20% of Kmart's stock.

If successful, the new company will have the potential to compete with Walmart in terms of scale in the future.

However, Milo actually has greater ambitions for the retail industry.

However, his financial resources are still insufficient, and it is impossible for him to take over the two companies, Popular Supermarket and Kmart, and reorganize them.

This is also OK, just rest assured for now.

For the time being, all we can do is acquire as many shares of these two companies as possible.

Prepare for the future.

Andre nodded and wrote down his boss's various requests.

After Andre walked out.

In comes Kenny.

"Over in Africa, our people have already taken control of the presidential palace."

Kenny said, "The presidential guard has changed its mind and has re-supported Foday Sankoh. However, among the rebels within their ranks, there are Frenchmen."

"The battle has started in their capital, and it's clear that the rebels are no match for us. Those of us there are worried that the French, who are behind the rebels, might launch an air strike with fighter jets."

"ha--"

Looking at the briefing sent by Kenny, it contains the battle report of the Global Joint PMC Department in Africa.

Almost all of the PMC departments of the Global Alliance went to Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone on the Gold Coast.

There are about 1,500 people.

Although the number does not seem large, they are almost all retired or even active elites in the US military.

With the support of some five-star bosses, many of the weapons and equipment brought over were even active equipment.

For example, the M270 self-propelled rocket launcher.

Before the more advanced M142 self-propelled rocket launcher, also known as HIMARS, came out.

The M270 self-propelled rocket launcher is the most advanced self-propelled rocket launcher in the Western world.

In this era, it can even be said to be the most advanced self-propelled rocket launcher in the world.

Relying solely on the M270 self-propelled rocket launcher and some other heavy weapons, if one were to face the regular army of a big and powerful country.

Of course we can't win.

But this time, the only forces the world needs to fight against are some rebels supported by the French.

To put it bluntly, they are still typical black uncles.

It also received the tacit approval of its former sovereign, Britain.

Plus, it has the endorsement of the United States.

If he still can't defeat a bunch of black uncles, then the more than one billion dollars that Milo invested in United Global might as well be thrown into the Atlantic Ocean.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the major powers cannot intervene personally.

Even if it's just air power.

Milo sneered: "The Gauls never know when to advance or retreat!"

"Have you informed the Five Star Building?"

"They've been notified. Mr. Blackburn said not to worry."

"Then tell Africa to move faster. At least control the capital of that country before the French really make up their minds."

One of the reasons why ZB in black Africa is easy to succeed.

It means just controlling their capital and one or two major cities.

Plus the radio.

That would basically allow us to control the country.

So as long as we can control Freetown before the French react.

Milo's little trick in black Africa this time was considered a preliminary success.

Kenny nodded and talked about another matter.

"In Asia, the expedition team has also found some clues."

"oh?"

"The news they sent back said they found the suspected entrance to the temple's treasure. But since there are too many locals nearby, we need a complete plan, which will take some time."

"Tell them. As long as they can meet my requirements, I have enough patience."

Compared to experiments in black Africa.

During the adventure with the third brother, Milo took the attitude that it would be great to have it, but it didn't really matter if he didn't have it.

In fact, he didn't quite believe that there were hundreds of billions of dollars of treasure in there.

Because if there really is tens of billions of dollars in treasure.

Judging from the character of the three brothers, after digging it out, they will definitely shout it out all over the world.

Milo remembered that the treasure of Asan's temple seemed to have only produced gold jewelry worth several million US dollars.

Then they told the outside world that there were treasures worth tens of billions of dollars inside...

So Milo just sent an expedition team out, if there really were so many treasures.

More staff will be sent later.

However, Asan is indeed more difficult to deal with, although his strength is not that good.

But they really have lofty ambitions and are among the best in the world in terms of independence and self-reliance.

Once they discover your little tricks.

These little Indians will definitely dare to turn against us.

Due to their special geographical location and international situation, it is impossible for them to ask the United States to fight India, so there is really no good solution.

No, there is still a way.

The minibuses mentioned above by India are Pakistan’s friends, but they are also Pakistan-American to a certain extent.

If Asan does something wrong, I can influence the Five-Star Building, give Babayang some benefits, and let them disgust Asan.

After Kenny goes out.

Milo continued reading the rest of the briefing.

He picked up one of them, which contained some recent news about Victoria's Secret, an lingerie brand under Paladin Media.

Corey Chris of Paladin Newspaper Group has had some failures in his fashion weekly strategy.

The two fashion magazines that were launched with great confidence received mediocre responses in the market.

Forced by this, Victoria's Secret obtained Milo's authorization.

On the contrary, it has close cooperation with the two media groups, Newhouse and Hearst, and has also entered the fashion field.

Plus the market positioning is excellent and there is support from the entire media group.

After more than a year, we have achieved considerable success.

Nowadays, young girls in the United States all want to own a few pairs or sets of Victoria's Secret shoes and underwear.

As retail stores continue to open, future profits are fully predictable.

He also saw the next few Victoria's Secret shows on it, including the bikini show and lingerie show that Amanda Hearst said would be held in Miami in the next few days.

But it is a briefing after all, and a briefing for a subsidiary of the group.

The above is not clear.

Milo happened to be in Miami, so he simply asked someone to send over the current detailed information about Victoria's Secret.

This didn't take long, and soon someone had everything sorted out and submitted it to the boss via email.

The current Victoria's Secret models are still the two top supermodels Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista.

However...with the financial support provided by Milo.

Victoria's Secret also signed three other supermodels besides the "Big Five".

Tatjana Pardis, Kristi Turlington and Naomi Campbell.

Together with Linda Evangelista and Cindy Crawford, the original five gods of the supermodel world are all included.

However, the other three signed a performance agreement, not an exclusive agreement.

When Victoria's Secret needs them, they will come to walk the runway, but they will not be limited to the Victoria's Secret brand.

Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista, both American and Canadian, signed an exclusive agreement.

Below these five first-generation supermodels, Milo saw the future "Victoria's Secret Gods" in a parallel universe.

Including Angela Lindwall, Gisele Bundchen, Big KK and so on.

But they are still very young now. The future famous "Empress Ji" is now just an ordinary contracted model of Victoria's Secret.

Excluding the "Five Gods", the most famous one among them now is Angela Lindwall.

By now, in 1997, Angela Lindvall was already being hailed by the fashion press.

Milo saw that the information showed that her contract amount was as high as 10 million US dollars.

In this day and age, this number is already very high.

Looking at the information, there are beautiful photos of these current top supermodels and future supermodels.

Milo couldn't help licking his lips and thought, it seems like they are all in Miami now?

Thinking of this, Milo picked up the phone and called the executive of Paladin Media who was in charge of Victoria's Secret work.

In a matter of words, he changed the location of the 1997 Victoria's Secret Fall Swimwear Show, which was originally scheduled to be held at the Fashion Tower at Bricktown Center in Miami.

He asked them to come to Mar-a-Lago.

It's big enough here.

There is even a super conference venue with an indoor area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters.

With a little decoration, it can become a very good catwalk for models.

He, the number one internet celebrity in the United States, is here.

I believe this will more or less bring enough exposure and popularity to the next Victoria's Secret fashion show.

This will also alleviate the embarrassment of not being able to get mutual banking services in Florida.
