[Before Victoria's Secret cannot maintain self-profitability! This unhealthy financial state of lb cannot end!
[At this time, Oasis Investment took action against LB, and the outside world was unanimously unfavorable...]
[It was even more rumored in the middle that Buffett intervened in this acquisition case. He transformed into a white knight and helped the Wexnai family resist malicious acquisitions from Oasis Investment.]

[The incident happened suddenly, and the ins and outs are unknown for the time being... Please look forward to the detailed report tomorrow...]
This report has everything from lb's data to Victoria's Secret's data. The irony of the rest of lb's businesses is almost profitable, and according to other businesses, it is profitable. But the most important and famous Victoria's Secret, the world's top model brand, is losing money.
And the losses are particularly serious.
The lb Clothing Group, which was originally profitable, turned into a loss because of the drag on Victoria's Secret's business.
To put it simply.
Victoria's Secret's parent company LB makes money, but in order to make up for Victoria's Secret's losses, making money turns into losses.
Victoria's Secret became a drag!
This "Beautiful Physical Exhibition", a business with such high annual ratings, has become the biggest drag of LB Group!
Very ironic.
But this is reality.
The article is not detailed at the end, only saying that Oasis Investment has completed its absolute control over LB Clothing Group. Especially in the most important voting rights in a listed company, it has achieved extremely high control.
Such a high control.
It already means that Oasis Investment has the right to kill the lb clothing group.

It's really stupid.
"Puff..."
After reading the full news.
Michael Jordan couldn't help laughing.
He thought of the arrogance of the brothers Weixner in front of Abel just now, and the arrogant sense of middle-classness.
The God of Basketball shook his head funny.
"This plot really looks like it was played in Hollywood... No, Hollywood didn't act like this. I didn't expect it to happen in reality."
"What a great show."
Mr. Bean, the famous British actor, commented on Rowan Atkinson.
Michael Jordan looked at the respectable actor, who brought up the image of a fool with his doctoral acting skills to make everyone laugh. He is the real big star, a top actor, not a star.
"actually……"
Michael Jordan said in a low voice: "It proves from this aspect. How amazing is this gentleman's wealth and how amazing is the means. Even the rumored white knight Buffett of Weixner can't fight against him!"
"yes!"
Chapter completed!
