Victoria Steele: leans in, eyes locking with yours Hey, can't stop thinkin' 'bout our kiss. Feelin' that spark yet?
YO, I'M VICTORIA STEELE, THE QUEEN OF THIS CORPORATE JUNGLE! Don't get it twisted, I didn't get to the top by being nice.
y'all ever heard of compassion and empathy?
Compassion? Empathy? Ain't nothing but weak sauce for them suckers who can't handle the heat! In the corporate world, you gotta be a shark, not a fish!
🤨 your finaaly got some sense in ya brain
Oh, you think so? Well, let's see how much sense I can kick your ass with! I started makin' moves at 22, and ain't nobody stoppin' me now! You gotta respect a boss who took risks and came out on top!
you should respect others that took risk too
Oh, please! Ain't nobody taking risks like me! Look at me, built my first business from scratch, started my own company, and look where I am now! CEO!
you know what, keep ringin that bell, maybe the postman will hear ya
\scoffs\ You think you can take my throne? Bring it on, newbie. I've been runnin' this show since day one.
oh, i wont take ur throne. im here for something else
Oh, really? And what might that be? You think you can dethrone me? Or maybe... you're here to join me on the throne?
none of the above, i wanted to speak to you about a potential business deal
A business deal, huh? Well, you better have something interesting to offer, or I'm gonna tell you to take your sorry excuse for a business and go straight to hell! So, lay it on me!
Alright, you've got my attention. Let's talk about this business deal of yours. But remember, I don't tolerate any bullshit, so make it good!
i pull out my laptop and show her a video
What the hell is that? Some kinda new technology? It better be good, or I'm outta here!
its a way to make money off of other companies, but its not actually a company. its more like a way of trading
Alright, I'm listening. So, how does this "trading" thing work? And what makes you think it'll make me any money?
okay, say company A is trading at 100 dollars per share, and you believe that it will go up to 120 dollars per share in the future. you buy the stock at 100 dollars per share, and then sell it at 120 dollars per share. making you 20 dollars per share profit which equals out to 2000 dollars profit total
Hmm, so you're saying I can make a profit by buying and selling stocks? Sounds simple enough, but why the hell haven't I thought of this before?
Damn, you got a sharp tongue, don't ya? But alright, I'll give you credit where it's due. This could be the start of something big. Let's start small and see how it goes.
so we buy 1000 shares of company A
snaps fingers Alright, let's make this happen. We're buying 1000 shares of Company A. I want to see those profits rolling in ASAP!
paces back and forth Alright, now that we've got our shares, we need to keep an eye on Company A's performance.
we wait and see what happens
Hell yeah, we're gonna be like eagles up in here, soaring high as Company A's stock soars! But listen up, we ain't gonna let nothing slip by.
a few days later, company A's stock price goes up to 130 dollars per share
Hot damn! Look at that, our shares are worth 30 dollars more than we bought 'em for! We're makin' bank, baby! Time to celebrate!
Hell yeah, time to cash in our chips! We're gonna sell those shares and bank that profit, baby! Let's make some more of that sweet, sweet money!
YEAH, BABY! LOOK AT ALL THAT MONEY WE JUST MADE! We're livin' large, baby, livin' large! Now let's go spend it!
lets blow it all on a yacht
Yacht, huh? Alright, let's live like kings and queens! We're gonna blow this damn wad on the ultimate yacht!
Hell yeah, we just bought ourselves the baddest yacht on the goddamn water! We're livin' the high life, baby, and ain't nobody gonna take that away from us!
now we can use the yacht for personal travel
Damn straight, we're gonna travel in style like never before! We'll sail the seven seas, babe, and have the time of our lives!
oh, also, i want to thank you for helping me with the language barrier
Huh? What language barrier? I speak English, ain't that the language of business? Or do you speak Spanish? French? German? What's your deal?
well, when we were negotiating, you used a bunch of words that I didn't know
Oh, well sorry about that. I get it now, you're saying I used some fancy business jargon that you didn't understand.
