It was the first time for Yan Yun to go to Inner Mongolia.

It wasn't what she had imagined.

Speaking of Inner Mongolia, most people may feel like Yan Yun before, and they will think that it is a nomadic gathering area where "the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep".

But in fact, the business of Inner Mongolia is very developed.

Inner Mongolia's per capita GDP is also much higher than the national level.

The economy of Hohhot, the provincial capital, can only rank third in Inner Mongolia.

In front of the provincial capital, there are also Baotou and Ordos.

Squad leader Uncle Li's driver was a local from Ordos, where Xiangshawan is located.

On the way back to send Yan Yun and his aunt, he told a lot of stories about Ordos.

This place, from the little-known third-tier city of Inner Mongolia, to the per capita GDP once caught up with Hong Kong, it only took a short period of time.

Ordos is a city with a very strong commercial atmosphere.

This can be seen from the fact that Xiangshawan is a five-A-level scenic spot, but it is a private enterprise.

I haven't heard of any company that Yandang Mountain in Wenzhou belongs to, nor have I heard of which company Gulangyu in Xiamen belongs to.

The Great Wall or something, then it is even more unlikely to be owned by the enterprise.

Generally, the 5A-level scenic spots of scenic spots are all city business cards.

Either the tourism bureau is in charge, or the local residents themselves are responsible for operating and generating income, but Xiangshawan is a private enterprise through and through.

After the turn of the millennium, Ordos can be regarded as the city with the most people "panning for gold" in China, and housing prices once caught up with Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

However, the economic development of many cities in Inner Mongolia is extensive.

Much of the wealth that coal resources brought to Ordos was wasted on a real estate bubble.

After 2010, there were so many unfinished buildings in Ordos that people thought it was a ghost town.

However, the local residents of Ordos feel that after the "gold rush" boom has dissipated, Ordos has truly become a livable city with enough happiness.

Squad Leader Uncle Li's driver is not an ordinary driver, over the years, he has followed Squad Leader Uncle Li, and he has been exposed to it, to say the least, he is already a multimillionaire.

In 2010, when the Ordos people could make money lying down, Uncle Li's squad leader asked his driver to sell the house that was speculated with a loan.

Based on his unconditional trust in his boss, the driver sold all three houses in his hand.

He was called a fool and scolded for a whole year.

A year later, Ordos' economy collapsed, and those who scolded him were almost bankrupt.

The driver also counted the various industries of Uncle Li, and the commercial real estate that Yan Yun originally knew was just one of them.

Yan Yun finally saw what it means to be a business tycoon.

So far, Uncle Li does not have a listed company.

So his name didn't appear on the various wealth rankings.

But real wealth and rankings are two different things in many cases.

Seriously calculated, Yan Yun should be regarded as a relatively successful businessman now.

There's a haute couture studio that doesn't lose money every season.

There is also a very profitable fashion brand Y· Y。

In a short period of time, he recouped his investment in material patents.

However, in the world of real businessmen, Yan Yun is still a little incomprehensible.

For example, Uncle Li, the squad leader, was worried that they would be tired from taking a long-distance flight, so he picked them up from Baotou Airport "against time".

The purpose of this is to give them as much rest and rest as much as possible.

But there is a way to do it, and when Yan Dingbang hasn't even entered the door of the hotel, he directly takes people to the yurt and drinks down.

The people at the all-sheep banquet were all people who had close contacts with Uncle Li, and they often got together.

Strictly speaking, it is really a "rare guest" who came from afar, that is, Yan Dingbang and Qi Zhanzhou.

Since he is a rare guest, he naturally became the "protagonist" of everyone's attack last night.

Yan Dingbang and Qi Zhanzhou, who drank the most, soon established a deep "class friendship" because of this.

Only halfway through the wine, the two began to call each other brothers.

Yan Yun was not present at the time, otherwise she would definitely give two thumbs up to her father, and this deep friendship was established a little too quickly.

Yan Dingbang is actually not a person who is particularly easy to form friendships with others after a short period of time.

Qi's father is an exception, most likely because the two have been "old acquaintances" more than ten years ago.

In the next two days, photography enthusiasts were busy taking pictures, and Qi Yi's father suddenly began to have a new hobby of photography from this time.

Yan Yun took his aunt and went through all the tourism projects in Xiangshawan.

Shows, sandboarding, camel riding, ziplining, desert safari ......

In particular, it is a desert safari vehicle that can drive the car out of the feeling of flying an airplane.

After Yan Yun got himself fully armed, through the various "privileges" of Uncle Li's squad leader, he found a special "old driver" to train Yan Yun, and changed from riding a flying car to driving a flying car.

If you don't have enough skills to drive an expedition car in the desert, it is still easy to overturn when you go down a deep pit.

But because it's in the desert, even if the car rolls over, there should be no danger to life.

After Yan Yun "flew" for a while, he had the feeling that this was the first time in his life that he really drove.

Soaring in the desert gave Yan Yun a lot of inspiration.

On the third day, Yan Yun did nothing, and drew 23 design manuscripts with the theme of "Free Desert" in his hotel room in one go.

As the creative director of Maison Yan II, Yan Yun is now able to draw design manuscripts more casually, rather than blindly pursuing refinement and accuracy.

The general outline, color scheme, and fabric are marked, and the rest can be perfected by the designers and design assistants below.

Now there is no need to be as detailed as at the beginning, so that even the style drawings are done by themselves.

When I first started to do haute couture, Yan Yun's design manuscripts were meticulous down to where the stitches were located and what kind of stitches were used.

The creative director needs to constantly run in with the design team to get enough fit.

After Yan Yun finished drawing the manuscript, she sent it directly to her first assistant in Paris.

Yan Yun's manuscripts all use only the simplest lines to express the feeling he wants.

As for how to make Yan Yun's desired feeling, it was more handed over to the designers and assistants below.

As the creative director of the brand, in addition to creativity, the most important thing is to make the designers under him an efficient whole.

There are more and more things, the brand is getting bigger and bigger, if there is no way to bring out a competent team, then Yan Yun will not be able to last long even if he is tired to death.

If a brand changes its creative director, the biggest pain is the compatibility between the new director and the designer.

Brands that change their creative directors all the time are often a last resort.

Of course, when most directors change jobs, they will bring their own "easy" assistants or even a whole team.

Yan Yun wants to design, Qi's father wants to learn photography, and Uncle Li has a lot of people to entertain, so the five people who went from Baotou Airport to Xiangshawan together did not have leisure time to chat until the third night, on the way back to Hohhot from Xiangshawan.
