Chapter 125: ICC (2/5 Congratulations to "The Future Has Not Came 1" to Grandmaster!)
As the company's professional "trust", Xue Yiyi, Xie Bing, and Lin Xiu of course welcomed Alexander Wang for the first time, and each issued a document expressing their expectations for Alexander Wang's design.
"Alexander Wang has already made a name for himself at New York Fashion Week, and I'm looking forward to his collections, which I think will be available at THE TOP SHOP soon. ”
Xie Bing: "Every design of the design masters has a soul and can make us more beautiful, Alexander Wang is such a master, and I look forward to his designs appearing in the THE TOP SHOP, which is the gospel of the majority of domestic consumers." ”
Lin Xiu: "It is every model's dream to wear clothes designed by Alexander Wang, and I am no exception! I am looking forward to one day, I can walk in Alexander Wang's big show." ”
Even Wang Ye personally posted on Weibo.
"I'm glad to have invited Alexander Wang to join THE TOP SHOP in New York. In the near future, THE TOP SHOP WILL ALSO INVITE MORE WELL-KNOWN DESIGNERS TO BRING MORE AND BETTER WORKS TO EVERYONE. Don't forget the original intention, forge ahead, THE TOP SHOP will always be your best choice. ”
What is a master, if there are more people who praise him, then he will become a master!
Just like Alexander Wang, he is also talented and a little famous, but he is far from a master. Now he has been blown by Wang Ye and celebrities, as well as fashion Vs, and has become a designer with the same name as Carl Lagerfeld and Issey Miyake.
This is packaging, not only goods need packaging, people also need packaging!
After some operation, the benefits are obvious, not only let THE TOP SHOP ONCE AGAIN SWIPE THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF THE MAJORITY OF NETIZENS, BUT ALSO RAISE THE TOP SHOP'S FORCED STYLE.
In the past, THE TOP SHOP COULD ONLY BE REGARDED AS A CHOICE WITH A NOVEL STYLE AND GOOD TASTE, AND IT COULD NOT REALLY BE RANKED WITH BIG BRANDS BECAUSE THERE WERE NO BIG NAME DESIGNERS.
But now it's different, and Alexander Wang has been promoted to the name of a design master, and even the brand grade with THE TOP SHOP has been raised.
This time, Wang Ye brought back two people from the United States, Alexander Wang and Liu Wenjuan, but the treatment of the two was completely different.
Alexander Wang was packaged by Yitong and became the star of the company. And Liu Wenjuan is quiet, except for a few senior executives of the company who know that such a person is coming, ordinary employees don't know her.
But Liu Wenjuan did not feel lost, she knew that this was normal, and now she is not qualified to let the company pay attention to it.
Wang Ye asked LISA and Liu Wenjuan to go to Xiangjiang to register a new trading company, which is a subsidiary of his Cayman Islands offshore company, and has full authority to act as an agent for the sales of the Flower Story brand in the Asia-Pacific region (except the mainland).
And the person in charge of this new company is Liu Wenjuan. Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, for this newcomer, Wang Ye directly gave a high position. But she also put forward a requirement, that is, within three months, the market in Southeast Asia must be opened and the sales network must be initially established.

The International Commerce Centre, the tallest building in Hong Kong, is located in West Kowloon, Hong Kong. The building is also the fifth tallest building in the world at 490 meters.
This building was built by the Kwok family of Sun Hung Kai in Hong Kong with an investment of 20 billion. The building was only completed in 2011 and is currently the newest first-floor skyscraper in Hong Kong.
ICC has 2.8 million square feet of lettable space, which is almost 310,000 square meters. Among them, 280,000 square meters is the area of office buildings, and the annual rental income of office buildings is about 3 billion, and the rental income of shopping malls is about 2 billion. It is equivalent to saying that the annual income of this building exceeds 5 billion.
This office building is now attracting investment from all over the world. Although it is the tallest building in Hong Kong and is considered a landmark building, it is not the core of Central because it is located in West Kowloon. Therefore, the investment situation is not very optimistic.
Most of those multinational giants are concentrated in those high-end office buildings in Central, and they have the strength to go to the most core locations.
If you look closely, multinational corporations or giant enterprises prefer to get together, and in Xiangjiang, Central is where large companies get together.
ICC's leasing department is located on the first floor of the office building, which is 118 floors high, with an area of about 3,500 square meters per floor and a monthly rent of 1,000 yuan per square meter. This leasing task is a bit difficult.
Ah Huang is a new generation of Xiangjiang people, when he was 8 years old, he immigrated with his family, and he is 28 years old this year, which is 20 years old in Xiangjiang.
Many people envy Xiangjiang for its developed economy and high work income. However, only Xiangjiang people like Ah Huang know how difficult it is to live here.
This is the standard land with few people and the housing prices are ridiculously high. Like Ah Huang's family of five, his parents and younger siblings, the five of them live in a low-rent house of more than 20 square meters.
Don't be surprised, there are too many families like this in Xiangjiang. As for buying a house, what are you kidding, every square meter is more than 100,000, and a house will be millions or tens of millions larger, how many people can afford it!
So when you read the newspaper, you will often find that even some well-known celebrities who can't afford to buy a house have to rent a house.
Ah Huang has a dream, that is, to have his own big house in Xiangjiang, with an area of more than 60 square meters!
Don't feel ridiculous, in Xiangjiang, more than 60 square meters is a big house, and more than 100 square meters can be called a mansion!
Watching Xiangjiang TV series, you will often hear the word "thousand-foot mansion", how big is the area of this so-called "mansion", in fact, it is only 90 square meters, this kind of house can be called a mansion in Xiangjiang......
After graduating from business school, after four years of hard work, Ah Huang finally applied for a job as an employee of Sun Hung Kai Properties and became a leasing manager in the leasing department, which is one step closer to his dream!
It is definitely impossible to do sales jobs and make a lot of money on salary. Ah Huang's basic salary is not high, only 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is considered to be food and clothing in Xiangjiang. If you want to buy a house, you don't even think about it.
However, Ah Huang has a commission. This time, ICC is attracting investment from all over the world, and so far, the effect is not very good. The leasing area of more than 3 million square meters is now rented out less than 500,000 square meters, and the entire leasing department has been under great pressure recently.
Seeing that the whole building has been renovated, you can move in and office, but there are few companies. According to the director of the leasing department, the company's top management has given a death order that 80% of the leasing tasks must be completed by the end of this year!
In order to motivate everyone to have the courage to attack, the rental commission has been increased again, from the original annual rent of 2%, directly doubled to 6%!
That is to say, if the annual rent of the enterprise you attract investment reaches 10 million, then the commission of the business personnel is 600,000!
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, this time, all the business personnel of the leasing department, as if they were playing with their lives, holding the phone every day, contacting the Xiangjiang offices of major companies one by one, hoping to pull over a few large companies.
Ah Huang also made phone calls for a few days, but it didn't seem to work well, there are so many large companies, and many of them have already settled in Central. Every time Ah Huang called, he was hung up directly by the other party, and he didn't bother to listen.
Seeing that this path was no longer feasible, Ah Huang began to think of other ideas.
He began to collect information about mainland companies, calling them one by one to promote ICC office buildings.
Don't say it, hard work pays off, this morning, after being rejected 99 times, the 100th phone call, the other party is finally willing to listen to him say a few more words.
"Hello, I'm here at the Leasing Department of Xiangjiang ICC, which is the International Commerce Center, the tallest building in Xiangjiang and the fifth tallest in the world!"
"Oh, Xiangjiang, it seems that the company is going to rent an office building over there, you wait a minute, I'll transfer the phone to the person in charge for you." ”
Hearing this, Ah Huang was so moved that he almost burst into tears, it's really not easy, and only those who have done telemarketing know this feeling. When you are hung up by countless people, or even insulted, if someone expresses a little interest and is willing to listen to you a few more words, the excitement and gratitude are indescribable......
The phone he made was the front desk of Fuhua Cosmetics.
So, Ah Huang contacted Liu Wenjuan. Liu Wenjuan has just been ordered to open a company in Xiangjiang, of course, she also needs to lease office buildings, and after listening to Ah Huang's introduction, Liu Wenjuan is also interested.
She originally wanted to set up the company in Central, but now that she thinks about it, the location of West Kowloon is okay, and this ICC is the tallest building in Hong Kong, which is still a bit of a gimmick. What's more, the rent here is a little more than half cheaper than Central.
For the same amount of money, it is quite cost-effective to be able to rent an office that is more than twice the size of the ICC.
The two made an appointment to go to Xiangjiang tomorrow to inspect the environment and conditions of the ICC.
The next day, Ah Huang got up early in the morning, and after he finished washing, he carefully cleaned up. The only suit that was hard to get a hand on, had been ironed straight last night, with a bright red tie, and her hair was combed neatly.
It's even grander than going on a date with a girl, but it's normal. Going on a date with a girl can only cost money, not earn money. But it's different when you see customers, who can bring you a generous commission!
When Liu Wenjuan arrived at ICC at 10 a.m., Ah Huang had already been standing in the square in front of the building for a long time.
"Hello Ms. Liu, I am Ah Huang of ICC Leasing Department. Ah Huang walked forward quickly, a bright smile blooming on his face.
Just how to call it, Ah Huang thought about it for a long time last night.
Originally, in Xiangjiang, you should call a young lady Miss, but according to Ah Huang's understanding, in the mainland, it is extremely impolite to call a girl "Miss", and others even think that you are scolding and humiliating her!
Therefore, Ah Huang also specially consulted a mainland netizen he knew on the Internet last night, and the other party told him that calling "lady" is more formal and will not go wrong.
