"Tom and Anna, welcome to you!" Li Feng greeted the two warmly and gave them a warm hug and a veneer gift.

The group went to the reception tea room on the first floor of the main house under Li Feng's personal reception. After the maid brought tea to Li Feng and Ovitz, and coffee to Tom and Anna, they chatted about the beautiful scenery of Central Park.

"John, your mansion is now famous in New York, do you mind if I visit it?" After chatting for about 10 minutes, Anna Wintour suddenly asked Li Feng with a smile.

"Of course, you can visit whenever you want, I'll let the housekeeper take you. ”

"Isn't Mr. Ovitz here, just let Ovitz take me, I think Ovitz is always familiar with this place. ”

"Yes, that's my pleasure, to be honest, I've been to this mansion twice, but I really haven't visited it properly. Ovitz paused slightly, then replied with a smile.

"Okay, I'll let Anne show you around. Immediately, Li Feng picked up the phone and talked to Wang Siqing, asking her to come over and take Wintour and Ovitz around the house in person.

Li Feng actually understands that this is what Anna Wintour clearly knows, and Li Feng is going to talk to Tom Ford next, so she brings it up to avoid suspicion. Similarly, the human spirit Ovitz also reacted in an instant, and it cooperated with Anna Wintour's words.

Seeing Anna Wintour, the fashionable devil, and Ovitz talking and laughing, they left the tea room under the leadership of Wang Siqing, and suddenly the remaining Li Feng and Tom Ford in the tea room quieted down.

……

"Tom, to be honest, as an American, I'm proud, proud of what you've accomplished in the fashion industry. ”

Listening to Li Feng's admiration for his status in the fashion circle, Tom also responded with pride, after all, the person who admired himself in front of him was a super-rich man like Li Feng, and having wealth in the United States means having everything, although this was a little exaggerated, the two of them gestured with coffee and tea and took a sip.

"I think Ovitz should have explained to you what he meant, and since you're here, I don't have to avoid it, just open it up.

Tom, I really appreciate your status and ability in the fashion industry, and there is no doubt that Tom is the number one person in the fashion industry today.

If there is a gap between you and Karl (Galeries Lafayette) or Armani, Yves Saint Laurent, etc., it is the gap in time and seniority. In 30 years, you may be in the fashion industry what Carl is today.

Now you have a certain gap with them, but there is no way to make up for it in a short time, only a career, which is a real career that belongs to your Tom.

For example, if you create your own brand and make it a top brand in the fashion industry, then your status in the fashion industry may be on an equal footing with the people above. ”

Li Feng actually said very clearly, in terms of fashion design and creative ability, in fact, today's Tom is really not inferior to anyone.

As the creative director of the Gucci Group, think about what Gucci looked like before the 90s, when Gucci was in decline and even almost bankrupt at one point.

It was Tom who began at Gucci to take over the creative design responsibilities of Gucci, and after he became the creative director, with his grasp of fashion, every time Gucci launched a new product, it quickly became a global fashion benchmark, which shows that Tom's genius in fashion design is evident.

The Gucci Group can be said to be getting better day by day, and began a series of mergers and acquisitions of global fashion brands, and now there is a prototype of a fashion giant, and then it has become one of the world's largest fashion and luxury giants around 2000, which can explain everything about Tom.

……

But there is no doubt that no matter how successful he is at Gucci, after all, the time is still short, if he works at Gucci for decades, he may be able to be as good as Karl is to Chanel, but it is clear that Tom has fallen into a bottleneck in his career to a certain extent.

So if you want to take your career to the next level in a short period of time, it is almost impossible to become the creative director of a company or something, to put it bluntly, you are still a senior worker.

The only way is to make his own brand, just like his predecessors such as Dior, Chanel, later Saint Laurent, Armani, etc., look at the big brands in the fashion industry today, isn't it that a top fashion talent appeared in the early days, and then founded a fashion brand with his own name, and then slowly developed.

Tom Ford of later generations also took such a path, and was relatively successful, but it was basically impossible to make his own brands such as Chanel, Dior and other brands successful, because the brand pattern of the global fashion industry at that time had basically been formed.

The fashion industry is already a pattern of several giants standing side by side, no one wants to take out the benefits that have been in their arms, and it is impossible to create such a big business by themselves.

Maybe Tom Ford also had this consideration when he went to make a movie later, although his own TF (Tom Ford) is very profitable, and every time he launches a new product, he can make a lot of money, but that's all.

It is impossible to rise like Dior, Chanel, Armani and other brands, and many people may not have heard of the TF brand at all.

Anyway, if you make enough money, then you have the ability to play other things that you are interested in, so what art movies you make can be regarded as your new achievements in art, and that's the only way to do it.

Then, now with Li Feng's support, there may be the possibility of making Tom a new generation of 'fashion godfather', if you want to achieve the status of Galeries Lafayette in the fashion circle, it is not only talent, but also the cooperation of time, place, people and all aspects.

Li Feng's meaning is very clear, that is, you Tom, now your career has entered a bottleneck, let me push you, in this way, you Tom may be able to really become a big man in the fashion industry, and be on a par with Galeries Lafayette, Armani and other figures.

……

"Thank you, Mr. Lee, for your attention, in fact, I already have such a career plan, and I will need to work at Gucci for a few years in my plan, and then it will be time to launch my own brand. ”

"Haha... Tom, it seems that we have a basic understanding, so let me give you an analysis of the situation, you said that you have been working at Gucci for a few years, that is a few years, 3 years, 5 years, 10 years, but by that time the fashion industry can no longer tolerate a new top brand.

I think you are a top person in the fashion circle, and you know very well that since the 8 and 90s, the global fashion industry has entered a stage of mutual annexation, and there have been several prototypes of fashion luxury giants.

It can be said that the current time is the last time period, if you pass this point in time, wait for 3 or 5 years, I think you should understand very well, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and everything is actually like this. ”

Next, according to Li Feng's own understanding, for the next development of the global economy, the surge of wealth, etc., indicating that the luxury market has entered a boom period, etc., it is true, so that Tom Ford nodded secretly in his heart.

"So, Mr. Li, do you have a specific plan?"

Hearing such a question from the fashion golden boy opposite, Li Feng knew that there were already infinite possibilities, and a burst of ecstasy surged in his heart.

Li Feng understands that in order to really make a fashion brand, a top figure in the fashion circle is the soul of an enterprise, such as Chanel's Galeries Lafayette, Armani's Giorgio Armani, etc., these are the key figures to support a fashion giant, in Li Feng's view, Tom in front of him is also such a character.

……

"I do have a plan, I want to be able to buy a fashion brand in China and a fashion brand in France, and I have a goal, so I don't have a concrete executor.

If it can be achieved, it will immediately form a fashion empire that is beginning to take shape. If you have good suggestions, you can also make them.

If you are willing to join, you can directly take 10% of the group's shares and serve as the group's creative director without you investing a penny.

If you have time to spare, I can support you in setting up your own brand studio, such as launching a fashion brand under your own name, etc. ”

After listening to Li Feng's words, if you want to say that you are not impressed, it must be false, but this involves major events in his future career, Tom also needs to think about it, it is definitely not something that can be decided all at once, and even if he really wants to leave Gucci, the contract with Gucci is also a problem, etc., there are really a lot of things.
