Zara, Massimo Dutti, Oysho, Bershka, Pull&Bear, Uterqüe. Stradivarius - these fashionable clothing stores are known to everyone modern woman. Did you know that all these brands belong to the same production holding - Industria de Diseno Textil Sociedad Anonima (Inditex)? The owner of the holding, Spanish businessman Amancio Ortega, has been leading in the ranking of the richest people on the planet for several years in a row. In 2012, he was recognized as the richest person in Europe by Bloomberg, with a net worth of $39.5 billion. In 2013, his fortune was already estimated by Forbes magazine at 57 billion, which put him in third place among the world's billionaires, moving the legendary Warren Buffett in the ranking. And in 2015 and 2016, according to Forbes, he became the richest man on the planet with a fortune of about $ 80 billion, overtaking Microsoft founder Bill Gates, the Sultan of Brunei and other world rich people.

How did it happen that the richest man in the world is also the most unknown? We are sure that a little more than everyone has heard the name of the same Bill Gates, and you most likely see the name of Amancio Ortega for the first time. This man does not pose for cameras and never gives interviews. Almost nothing is known about his life, journalists even called him "the nightmare of the paparazzi." The only time and for only 15 minutes, he allowed journalists to photograph himself in 2001 at a public report of the company. Then he answered only one question - about why he leads such a reclusive lifestyle. The tycoon said he didn't want to be recognized on the street by anyone other than his family and friends. He also asked all his acquaintances not to talk about the details of his life, and no one violated his request.

The more valuable are the crumbs of information that are known about him. And here is what is known about him.

Amancio Ortega Gaona was born on March 28, 1936 in the Spanish provincial town of Busdongo, near Leon. The childhood of the richest man on the planet was the most ordinary. His parents were not millionaires who gave their offspring good start in life. Unlike other European billionaires such as Georg Scheffler, Liliane Betancourt or Gerald Grosvenor (otherwise known as the Duke of Westminster), he did not inherit his wealth. His parents were not even middle class. Amancio Ortega's father worked as a railway worker, his mother was a servant. Even in the conditions of the economic crisis in post-war Spain, Ortega's father's salary was considered very modest - he received only 300 pesetas a month. To understand the size of this amount, imagine that a dozen chicken eggs cost about 30 pesetas - a tenth of this salary. In addition to Amancio, the family had two more children - older brother Antonio and sister Josepha.

The family lived so poorly that Amancio had to leave school and go to work. He was only 13 years old. One day he went grocery shopping with his mother and witnessed a humiliating scene when, despite his mother's pleas, the seller refused to give her a further loan for groceries, because they already owed him a large amount. All the greengrocers, butchers and bakers from the surrounding shops refused to sell on credit, and at some point the family had nothing to eat. It was a turning point in Amancio's life - his biographer Covadonga O'Shea writes about it this way: “In these terrible days, he first realized all the drama and all the hopelessness of poverty, which should never again be repeated either in his life or in his future family ".

The first job of the future textile magnate was working as a courier in a haberdashery store. When Amancio was 14 years old, the family moved to the city of La Coruña, where Amancio's father was offered a job. There, Amancio got a job at the Gala Notariado clothing store on the corner of Federico Tapia and Plaza de Galizia. This store still exists. True, according to the owner, visitors to the store do not so much buy his products - shirts, cardigans and hats - as they try to find out details about the youth of the multibillionaire who once worked here as an errand boy.

Later, Amancio Ortega got a job in one of the Spanish ateliers. There he learned how to sew clothes, shirring and draping fabrics. Soon he got a job as an apprentice to a fashionable Spanish designer who once said this about him: “Amancio is a hard-working guy, of course, but he cannot become a good tailor. He doesn't know how to communicate with people. The tailor does half of the work with his tongue, but he is silent all the time, shy. Let him do something else, sewing is not his destiny. Ortega has always been modest, bordering on shyness. The only time journalists were allowed to photograph him, everyone could see how hard it was for him.

Working as an apprentice, Ortega not only learned to sew, studied fashion and developed a sense of beauty. He studied the needs of customers and thought about how to meet the demand. In his study of pricing, he saw that the cost of clothing rises as one moves from the sewing shop to the warehouse - from the warehouse to the wholesaler - from the dealer to retail store. He realized that if you shorten this path, the price of things will become much more attractive.

But for Ortega, improving logistics was not the only way win a buyer. He was always fascinated by the idea of ​​making luxury items available to the public. The idea was not new - many entrepreneurs of that time made their fortune by following this path. For example, the founder of Ikea, who made designer furniture accessible to all segments of the population. In the 1960s, Ortega took a job as a sales manager in a clothing store. In addition to working in the store, he began to buy inexpensive fabrics in Barcelona and sew clothes from them. For some models, he himself came up with patterns, but mostly he copied clothes from famous fashion designers, adapting them to the mass buyer. His clothes were in great demand, Spanish boutiques began to buy them. Within 3 years, Amancio saved up enough money to open his own clothing business called Confecciones GOA (the abbreviation GOA is Amancio Ortega Gaon's initials, read backwards). It was family company, where Amancio himself was responsible for the development of models, his brother Antonio was responsible for commercial matters, his sister was in charge of accounting, and his wife Rosalia Mera acted as a business partner. The future billionaire began by sewing underwear, bathrobes and nightgowns.

First own shop clothes Amancio Ortega opened shortly before his 40th birthday. It is interesting that this happened unplanned. GOA garments received a large order for bathrobes from a German client, and Ortega had already invested all the money he had in tailoring when the client last moment canceled the order. To save the company from bankruptcy, Ortega and his wife decided to open their own store and sell their products there. Thus, the Zara store was born. At first, they wanted to name the store Zorba after Anthony Quinn's character from the movie Zorba the Greek. But the name Zorba was already registered to another company, and after some deliberation, the store got the name Zara, which sounded feminine and exotic (pronounced “Thara” in Spanish).

Ten years after the opening of the first Zara, a parent company, Inditex, was formed to handle the rapid expansion. In 1989, the first overseas Zara store was opened in Porta, Portugal. Now, after 40 years of dynamic development, the Zara network includes 2,000 stores in 88 countries around the world. In addition to Zara, Amancio Ortega owns Pull&Bear, Massimo Dutti, Stradivarius, Oysho, Bershka, Zara Home, Uterqüe and Lefties brands.

The richest representative of the fashion world never attends shows, fashion weeks and other public or private events of the industry. But shortly after each fashion week, Zara stores are filled with designs that are very similar to the prêt-a-porte clothes introduced just a few days ago by high-end designers. This situation infuriates fashion designers and delights Zara customers who cannot afford an expensive original, and do not see much point in it.

The main feature of Zara, which allowed her to get ahead, is an instant response to customer demand. Firstly, the company was able to reduce the time for new models to go on sale to a ridiculous 10-15 days! Yes, yes, design, pattern development, tailoring, delivery to a retail store - all this within two weeks! The company's team employs more than 200 designers who respond to the slightest fluctuations in demand. Secondly, in order to better understand the needs of customers, the Zara team analyzes not only the actual sales, but also the goods that customers took for fitting, but for some reason did not buy. This analysis gives an understanding of what needs to be improved, helps to identify customer expectations. Thirdly, the company managed to get away from the trend to place garment production in the countries of Southeast Asia to reduce the cost of production. Spain produces 50% of Zara clothes, 26% in other parts of Europe and only 24% in Asia, Africa and other countries. Instead of saving on the quality of tailoring, Zara saves on advertising. According to High Point University economics professor Stephanie Crofton, Inditex spends only 0.3% of its revenue on advertising, compared to 3.5-5%, which is about the same as other major clothing brands. Fourth, Zara releases clothes in super-small batches and never re-sews even the most successful models. So they reduce the risks of increasing stocks, and provide customers with some kind of exclusivity.

In 2011, when the founder of Zara turned 75, he announced his resignation. The post of president of the holding was taken by former vice president and assistant Pablo Isla. Rumor has it that Amancio Ortega plans to make his successor the youngest daughter from his second marriage, Marta.

In total, Amancio Ortega has three children: daughter Sandra and son Marcos from his first wife Rosalia Mera, and daughter Marta from his second wife Flora Perez Marcote. They say that eldest daughter billionaire flatly refused to do business. She inherited more than 4.7 billion euros from her mother, who died in 2012, owns a 7% stake in Inditex and, according to Forbes, is one of the richest and most powerful women in Europe. Son Marcos is not able to manage the company, since he has been disabled since birth - the boy was born with cerebral palsy. Shortly after his birth, his parents opened charitable foundation support for children with such disabilities.

The billionaire divorced his first wife in 1986, but there were rumors that the couple had not been a family for a long time by that time, keeping the relationship only for the sake of business. The billionaire married his second wife in 2001, they are together to this day.

Ortega spends millions of dollars every year protecting his anonymity. Perhaps there will be no more than 200 pictures in which you can see him and his family members. Bits of information about his life can be seen either in the official Zara news or in his biographies written by the official biographer Covadonga O'Shea (family friend, teacher at the fashion school at the University of Navarra) or Xabier Blanco (Spanish journalist, carefully tracks the career of the founder of Zara ).

He never arranges parties, does not go to public events, but what is there - he refused an invitation to dinner from the Queen of Spain herself! His modesty is also evidenced by the fact that for many years he lives in a five-story building in A Coruña, and when he worked for the company, he dined in the common dining room with his employees. His daughter Marta, who is to inherit her father's fashion empire, worked in the holding, starting from the lowest positions.

The Spanish billionaire knows how not only to make money, but also to spend. For example, in 2011, Ortega bought the 43-story Picasso skyscraper in downtown Madrid for $536 million. He also owns a Falcon 900 private jet, a hotel on the coast of Miami, various houses and apartments around the world, and his own racetrack. The billionaire bought real estate as an investment, he rents out his houses and does not leave A Coruña. But the hippodrome was bought for the soul. Ortega has a real passion for horses and racing, as does his daughter Marta, who even married equestrian star Sergio Alvarez Moya.

The great merit of this man is that he made a fashionable designer clothes accessible to everyone, not just the elite segments of society. Many have tried to replicate his business model, but so far no one has succeeded. The speed with which he captures fashion trends and embodies them in the clothes of his brand is truly breathtaking. Many things played a role in his success - his own talent, and the right people who helped him, and his faith in success, and, of course, a happy coincidence. But the start was made when Ortega saw poverty in all its ugliness, on that memorable day when his mother refused to sell food on credit. On that day, the future billionaire promised himself never to humiliate himself or starve again. He kept his word.

Industria de Diseno Textil, S.A. (better known as Inditex) is a major Spanish fashion corporation. It consists of almost a hundred companies engaged in activities related to textile design, production and distribution of fashion products.

I worked as a visual merchandiser for this company for about a year. Before that, she also worked as a merchandiser, but I encountered terrible rudeness at Inditex. A very vile residue left after this company. She retired a long time ago, so the emotions are not so bright. Now I’m trying to tell you in detail why I don’t recommend going there with merch:

1) You are a slave and do everything. I don’t know why it is in Inditex, but in other companies you perform the function ONLY AS A MERCHANDISER. Everyone has everything like people, but not in Inditex. This company decided to turn the draft horses of the merchandisers and use them to the fullest. Schedule five days, from 10 am. Due to the shortage of salespeople and the reduction of their hours, I had to literally drag the entire store. In the morning, the WORSE managers put me at the checkout, and they absolutely didn’t know that you have a lot of things to do in coordinating the store and you need, for example, to reschedule the sale. And when I did the work of the merchandise, I simultaneously ran to the checkout to get through to the buyer. And during the sale, I ran every second to the cash register (even in the sale, think about it). And so on until 14.00, until the 2nd cashier arrives. She was a seller, a cashier, a storekeeper, and even had to open a store. In general, exploited to the fullest.

2) Managers. I don’t know about other stores, but we had a disgusting managerial staff. While you are sweating alone in the hall in the morning, they sit in staff and spit at the ceiling. No matter how much I tell managers, both for good and for bad, so that at least they don’t put me on sale at the checkout or when something globally needs to be redone, give them a rest. They yelled and were rude terribly. They perfectly see that I am literally opening up, they are yelling at coolies, I don’t have time. YYY, let me ask, how will I manage if I fulfill the function of EVERYONE in the store? Do you sit and pick your nose? Where are the sellers? Where are the cashiers? They could even call me on my day off or write in a general conversation after hours that I was so and so, disgusting work and pour a bunch of poop on me. Constant scandals, intrigues, investigations. I will not linger on this point, everyone in the store with managers has everything individually. I have a personally negative experience. I ask HR to carefully select people for the vacancy of store managers. And then they will recruit all sorts of youngsters with megalomania or kings / queens, and then they wonder why everyone quits and the turnover.

3) The bosses are higher. These are HR, Area VM, and DT. The brains were very strong. My regional merchandiser could ask me to make a wall and send a photo to him 15 minutes before the end of my working day. AND FAST AND RIGHT NOW. Moreover, such requests were frequent. If you say, they say, can I send a photo tomorrow or you have the end of the working day - screams and yells.

4) Constant delays at work. Even if you have done everything, and you have nothing to do, you will still be detained. For example, the ticket office closes in about 30-40 minutes. And it closes strictly after your shift. Delay time. Or WORSE managers will come up with a job for you and will do everything so that you do not leave on time. Saying that you have the end of the working day, they will yell that you are an irresponsible person and you do not care about the team, for work. And yes, delays are not paid.

5) Career. It is not and will not be. No, it will certainly be within the store. Cashier Assistant, Manager, etc. But everything is busy in the office. It's impossible to get there at all. Although, if you diligently lick one place, something may come out. And that is not a fact. Our managers have been working for 6 years, and they are not promoted. Hmm, maybe because of this they lashed out at the whole team? Then they need to be treated.

Well, that's all, I described the main disadvantages. If you don’t want to be a workhorse, do everything for everyone, and then earn a bunch of nervous breakdowns and end up in a psychiatric hospital, don’t even go here. Go to another company with merchandise, where you will only do your job.

(There are some stories at the end if you are too lazy to read your homework)
I worked at P&B for two years, and you know what? And I will say that upon dismissal, they give you to fill out a questionnaire, where there is a question, "Will you advise Inditex to your friends?" (Inditex - Bershka, P&B, Zara, Stradivarius and somewhere else 3 items, shorter than 70 percent of Raissa mother's clothes). And I, honestly (they ask honestly), answered that in no case. And in fact, I advise everyone not to even look in their direction. Every time I remember, I understand that I lost two years almost just like that.

Why practically. Of course, there are a number of advantages, but they are all in other companies, and these are:
- Good team.
Here I will make a reservation that some complained about their stores. + many shops employ over 10 people, so there are often all sorts of santa barbara and hard nuts. (I think it all depends on your personal shitty)
But everything bypassed me, I was friends with everyone, including managers (although I don’t communicate with anyone anymore, but that’s just me), and I managed to work at three points.
Corporate parties, just a beer after the shift, and a lot of other good things.
- More or less schedule for students.
But anyway, no one cares that you have a study that day and you can only come two hours later or not at all. (you can come two hours late, but get ready for a bucket of shit from the manager). More store- More people to swap with.
- What-no experience.
I now perfectly put things together when not laziness.

Now the cons:
- Just indecent, disgusting, terrible, slavishly low wages.
Get ready for 20k a month full.
- Crazy pace of work.
Here are the best small shops. In the big ones you run like a patient, everything is destroyed, around the barricade, tires are burning and the manager also says to you:
"Walk Faster"
GO FUCKING FASTER! This is a true story, I did not invent it.
If you're just a salesman, still fine, clean up, but stop at the checkout, that's it.
But if you're in office, then it's bullshit. They will stupidly not let you do your job, because Inditex stores are a 24-hour emergency, and everyone is on fire, starting with their asses.
- Everyone naturally licks the asses of the authorities.
Some less, some more, some far and wide. Not managers, it's them, the poor things, that have to be licked, but the MANAGERS. HRs, Merchandisers, That woman responsible for that, dick understand that, That cock, from the office, Director for Russia, BIG BED SPANISH, all these people. Checks, I love, several times, every week, and, really, they only break the pace of work, because it begins: "SO, THE LOCKERS ARE CLOSED, PULL THE CHAIR, APPLE HIDE FROM THE TABLE YOU CHO, WIP THE DUST FROM THE LOGS OVER THE CASH CASH, VASE IT IS WRONG, SO, WE COME, LINED UP, YOU ALL SHIT DISCHARGE IN MY ANOUS!" And then I also came up with only the last.
-The worst time management in the history of the planet.
This is the reason for the sick pace caused by ass licking, and the trick is that you can’t do anything about it, it’s the same in any mass market.

In general, this is a meat grinder, you are meat, if anything, they will tell you "goodbye" and will not say goodbye.

Few stories.
- Somehow at a corporate party at my house, our director (who already has a reputation for being a little clumsy) in an alcoholic frenzy broke her toe on ... the carpet. It was in the same room I slept in and I couldn't hear. I was told the noise was loud. But they took revenge on the carpet and burned it in several places, and also got a blanket and a trash can (someone decided to throw coal from a hookah there).

    In Moscow, guys from Belarus trained, because. They were going to open their first shop there. The company rented them a chic three-ruble note with a combined living room and kitchen (I was jealous) and we were invited to another corporate party. There I tasted just awesome potato pancakes, and I realized that Belarusians are just awesome people. Also in the same place I was walking to vomit, a friend from the same Belarus. I also fell asleep and woke up on the floor because the dude poured whiskey on me and tried to set me on fire. Also, the same director, she said that I ran to hug when I saw her in the stairwell, although I never forget anything after appointments and do not like to hug. I still don't believe her.

    And here's the ugly one. Somehow, at the next inspection visit, all this nonsense with lockers began again, the manager said the following thing: "I will see an open locker, I will throw things in the trash." One girl did not close the locker, and the manager naturally collected her things and threw them into the trash, I also told her, they say, maybe you can tell her first, then there will be a scandal. I don't care, I warned you. As a result, the scandal, the girl quit.
    ...Her locker had a broken lock.

    Another visit, the director of accessories and footwear comes from Spain. My position, it is necessary to lead around the hall, tell everything, show (licking the ass).
    Also came commercial on our store. And now the four of us (+ our manager) walk around the hall. I am in the usual, youthful language, without bothering, immediately to you, I tell her, we laugh, we discuss, we argue, everything is fine. She turned out to be an easy-to-talk, cheerful woman (she looks about 30), she was very surprised, instantly switches from Russian and starts spitting in pure Spanish. And these two parrots took me away every ten minutes and lamented that I was, they say, cattle, and how dare I communicate with her so disrespectfully and in general be fired. In the end, everything went great. Only after a while I quit myself, because I really burned out (and found a better job).

Tip: Don't look at a job with a salary of less than 30k and a workday that starts before 9am. Respect yourself and your work.
