Chapter 262: The Ground Snake's Counterattack

【Anti-theft Sticker Chapter】

Simon was chatting with the female assistant when Sophia walked over from not far away.

Noticing the melancholy in Sophia's expression, Simon asked, "Something is wrong?"

Sophia stood beside Simon and nodded, "Colombe Pringer, the editor-in-chief of Vogue France, and I made an appointment to attend this party, and in the evening I suddenly said that I couldn't come because of something temporary. Paris-Match magazine has just called, and the eight-page special issue that had been negotiated has been cancelled. ”

Music rang out in the hall.

The catwalk on the runway begins. This is a performance catwalk, based on Audrey Hepburn's "Roman Holiday", the actor of "Roman Holiday", who is about to be awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Cannes Film Festival, Gregory Peck was also specially invited to attend.

Simon looked at the beautiful clothes and decorations not far away, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Claudia Schiffer, Linda Ivan Golinsta, Naomi Campbell, and Christy Turlington, among others, all turned down our party invitations. Also, this party is not the most important thing, and I am worried that we may not be able to get these models on the catwalk during Fashion Week in September. ”

Simon was not surprised to hear Sophia talk about the situation.

The 'cake' of the luxury industry is similarly limited, and with Gucci regrouping aggressively in recent months, it is only natural that other luxury brands will feel threatened.

Gucci's resurgence in North America has not been hindered by the support of Daenerys Entertainment, but in France, where luxury brands are concentrated, Dior, Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and other local snakes will obviously not allow Gucci, an outsider, to call the wind and rain on their own turf.

beckoned the passing waiter to come over, brought two glasses of red wine to the two girls beside him, Simon took one for himself, and then continued to say to Sophia: "So, what are you going to do?"

Sophia took a sip of red wine, thought for a while, and said, "If it's just a situation on the French side, it's not a big problem." ”

"You can handle the media yourself. As for Fashion Week in September, I just met Cindy Crawford and Helena Christensen, and if the supermodels you were talking about weren't willing to go to our runway, they were looking for someone else, and it wasn't possible that all the models wouldn't. Moreover, it is nothing more than to increase exposure, when the time comes, we can invite more stars, and the effect is the same, which happens to be our advantage. ”

The catwalk ended, followed by a charity auction.

The auction item is a batch of the latest Gucci satchels that the model has just carried on the catwalk, and the proceeds will be donated to a charitable organization dedicated to solving the problem of hunger in Africa, Simon has never heard of the name of this organization, but feels that it is in the right direction, so he auctioned an elegant white satchel for $200,000.

The charity auction is over, and tonight's party is coming to an end.

Although some French media outlets temporarily canceled their cooperation with Gucci, many media outlets in various European countries reported on the Gucci Night event early the next morning.

Simon is well aware of his mascot's mission, and if he just shows up at the party and doesn't bring any benefit to the guests who came to him on purpose, no one else will show up next time. As a result, some entertainment media have also duly appeared in the news that Simon Westeros and a certain celebrity had a good conversation at a Gucci night party, and the two sides may start a collaboration.

It's not just a gimmick to let out such a rumor.

While filming "Batman" in Melbourne, Simon had a similar thought.

Hollywood's global expansion in the next few years will inevitably lead to resistance from overseas film markets.

If Daenerys Entertainment can invest in the production of a batch of overseas films every year, it can not only quickly enrich its own film library resources, but also gain the goodwill of filmmakers in Europe, Australia and even Asia. Moreover, he has a large number of film projects in his hands, which implicates the career prospects of many filmmakers, and at the same time, it can also bring a hidden power to Daenerys Entertainment.

Moreover, Simon's prophetic advantage over those film investors who end up losing their money in a blind eye also ensures that he selects projects that are profitable with relative precision.

Daenerys Entertainment is still in the accumulation stage, and Simon is not in a hurry to do so. However, the Australian branch's investment in Peter Jackson's new film, and if it can sign a few more directors this time, it is actually equivalent to laying out these ideas in advance.

Fulfilling his mission as a mascot, Simon left Cannes and flew to Geneva, on the border between France and Switzerland.

Geneva is Switzerland's second largest city and is home to the European Institute for Particle Physics (CERN), a joint venture of more than 20 countries. Tim Berners Lee was a computer engineer at the institute at this time.

Coincidentally, Simon's idea to find Tim Berners Lee happened to be on a very precise point in time.

According to Simon, Tim Berners Lee submitted a proposal for the project to CERN's top management for the first time in March this year, suggesting that all the laboratories in the institute be connected to computers through hypertext technology, and once the project is completed, it could even be further expanded to the world.

Tim Berners-Lee's plan was supported by a lot of people, but because CERN is a particle physics institute, the top management did not approve the project. However, Lee did not give up, and after two months of re-preparing the proposal, he was about to resubmit his proposal in the near future, and Simon came to the door.

Simon was initially approached through a paper published by Tim Berners Lee on hypertext markup language.

When she came to Europe, Jennifer made an appointment with Tim Berners Lee to meet the schedule, and the revised plan in the other party's hand was directly transferred to Simon.

Sadly, Tim Berners Lee, who is known in the industry as the father of the Internet, spent most of his budget on a $6,500 NeXT computer for a few months. That's right, the high-performance personal computer that Steve Jobs developed specifically for universities and research institutes after he broke away from Apple.

The city of Geneva surrounds the southern end of the vast Lake Geneva.

As one of the most liveable cities in Europe, Simon didn't miss out on Geneva when he bought a property. His villa here is located on the shores of Lake Geneva on the northern outskirts of the city, on more than 3 acres and with a private marina.

Arriving in Geneva on a weekend morning, Simon spent three days talking to Tim Berners Lee about ideas for the Internet.
