"Apart from you and your wife, are there any other partners?" Yang Cheng asked again.

Bei Bei nodded, "There is also my agent Simon Fuller, but his equity only accounts for a minority. He is currently serving as the CEO of the Beckham brand company. This time with your capital injection, his shareholding ratio will be further diluted."

Victoria added, "Since the company was founded, Simon has managed the company's business in an orderly manner. The brand's three main businesses: ready-to-wear, glasses, and accessories, are all operated by Simon himself, and our relationship is like family."

Yang Cheng knew it. It seemed that Simon Fuller's position was still very stable, but he was not going to worry too much about this position. After all, the brand vicetoria beckham is the core of the company.

"How is the other two sectors developing except for the ready-to-wear business?" Yang Cheng continued to ask.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Victoria's face with heavy makeup, "well, in fact, compared to the ready-to-wear business that I value the most, glasses are the main sales drivers of the brand at present.

As early as 2009, victoria beckham cooperated with Burberry to launch glasses products. The supplier is the famous Zeiss Group. After years of development, the glasses launched by the brand have been deeply loved by the market and have made great contributions to the brand.

In the future, brands will continue to expand new product categories, and have launched joint series with many well-known brands such as beauty group Estee Lauder, retailer Target, sports brand Reebok, etc.

Victoria Beckham is still studying the possibility of expanding skin care products and perfume categories, but at present, due to financial resources, it can only be included in the reserve plan. I believe that there will be some achievements in the future."

Yang Cheng's expression was not satisfied or not, at least Xiao Bei and his wife couldn't tell, but Yang Cheng had already decided on the plan in his mind. This project can be invested in. I believe that with his own intervention, the Beckham brand will have a broader development space, which means a large amount of money return. After all, the fashion industry is not related to its own industrial chain, and this investment has no strategic significance.

However, he planned to make money first. Since it was to make money, he naturally had to fight for greater benefits for himself. It was impossible for the other party to say a valuation of 100 million yuan and he agreed that a series of investigation and evaluation procedures before investment must be completed.

So, Yang Cheng told Xiao Bei, "The preliminary intention can be determined, but the specific valuation and capital injection amount need to be evaluated by the company before making a decision."

Xiao Bei was overjoyed, and half of the big stone in his heart fell. Finally, it was worth the trip. Yang Cheng had a preliminary intention, so the matter was stable.

However, the reason why I only put half of the stone in my heart was because of the second purpose of his trip. The smile that had just risen on his handsome face fell down again, "jason, besides business matters, there are some private matters I want to discuss with you."

In fact, without saying it, Yang Cheng could probably guess that when he received the call in the afternoon, he searched for Xiao Bei’s recent gossip news online. Not to mention that there are quite a lot of them, either buying a luxury car or attending a queen’s banquet, and there is almost no time to spare.

However, the most popular one is the news that he did charity to get a title. The incident happened a week ago. The Daily Mirror broke the news that 18.6 million letters on the company's server under the name of Xiao Bei's public relations manager were leaked, which was actually done by hackers, including a large number of letters dealing with Xiao Bei. The authenticity of the letter has been verified, and some of the letters showed that Xiao Bei did charity only for the title of Knight.

In the UK, after being awarded the title of the Knight Medal, he was eligible to be further promoted to a baron or baron, which is also the highest title that civilians can obtain.

The Daily Mirror further found industry insiders to confirm that in order to win the title of the most prestigious nobleman in the UK, Beckham's adviser had made deals with relevant committees of the British Parliament.

Just yesterday, the Daily Mirror tracking report also dug out that Beckham had been extorted by hackers before the email was leaked. The hackers also threatened Beckham, "if he didn't give money, he would make the sensitive content in the email public."

But Beckham's team rejected the hacker's blackmail request at the time, which led to the leak of the email.

Although after the incident, Beckham had already stated through a spokesperson that the content of the email had been tampered with.

However, this did not stop his perfect image from collapse, and he had even become the target of the British public criticism.

Yang Cheng is not surprised by this. If you dare to establish a character for yourself these days, you must be mentally prepared for the collapse of your character, unless you are really cleaner than a blank paper.

Think about it, Beckham has always been a good man, a good husband, and a good father in the outside world, but it was suddenly revealed that he did not really love charity, and he was even unwilling to spend his own money when doing charity. The purpose of doing charity was to beautify his image and have the opportunity to obtain a title. He also eventually lost the qualification to be named a knight due to suspected tax evasion. He scolded the judges in the email. Such a sudden change was completely a deception to the public. No one likes to be fooled, it would be strange if he doesn't scold him to death.

"I know what you are going to say, you have become popular again recently~" Yang Cheng joked halfway.

Xiao Bei could only smile bitterly, "jason, don't smile at me, now I need your help."

Yang Cheng put away his smile, frowned, rubbed his chin and asked, "Can you tell me specifically? I just learned a rough idea from the news."

Beckham was prepared and said without hesitation, "The cause of the incident was in 2013. In order to commend my contribution to football and other charities over the past 20 years, the country gave me a chance to nominate the British Knights Medal selection that year."

Yang Cheng had an impression of this incident. At that time, both the media and the public thought that Beckham won the Knight Medal and was a pity that he was lucky enough to make people ~

Xiao Bei continued, "I regretted losing the election. After learning about the election, I did write an email to my consultant privately because of anger. During this period, I used some indecent words because I felt deceived. Before the election began, they told me that I was going to wait for the award, but in the end I waited for the news of the election. I was extremely disappointed. Isn't it a sin to vent it?"

Yang Cheng shrugged, and he refused to comment on this. This was Xiao Bei's family's words and he could not easily believe it. Moreover, he believed from the bottom of his heart that Xiao Bei and Victoria were both people who did whatever they could do for their own interests, and they cared about their reputation very much.

Beckham's mentor, Sir Ferguson, said in "Alex Ferguson - My Autobiography": "Among the players I have coached, David is the only one who actively pursues fame and regards gaining popularity outside the football circle as a task of his own... Maybe one day in his life, he will feel that he has to admit that he has made a mistake."
