Chapter 211: The Legend of Hong Kong Island Illidan (Part II)
Ning Wanjia's eyes turned around Gu Huiyi, pursed her lips and suddenly stopped talking, looking like she was thinking about something.
At the beginning, Gu Huiyi fell in love with the elegance, beauty, and vitality of these two girls at first sight, especially the temperament of the two girls far exceeded the current red and non-popular beauties on Hong Kong Island.
Most of the Hong Kong Island actresses in this era were born recklessly, and their beauty on camera is definitely enough, not to mention the details and temperament of their daily gestures, not to mention the twins, and even the batch of domestic entertainment industry flowers who graduated from a few years later can't be compared.
Gu Huiyi is also from a wealthy family on Hong Kong Island, although she has fallen out with her family, but the elite education she received overseas when she was a girl knows the details of fashion in the old European circle, and when the two girls sat down, Gu Huiyi found that the price of the twins' clothes was far from what the average rich man could afford, which was equivalent to carrying an apartment with him.
In this year, the average price of luxury apartments in the prosperous areas of Hong Kong Island is about 3,000 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, the price of a thousand-foot mansion is about 3 million Hong Kong dollars, which is 400,000 in US dollars, and the two girls and two dresses are 800,000 US dollars.
As we all know, the rich world in the overseas world is divided into old aristocrats and nouveau riche, this division does not look at the industry but looks at the time, more than three generations of local tyrants are old money old aristocrats, three generations or less are new money nouveau riche, similar to horse racing, red wine, fashion This thing is the old money is the old money, and it is also a powerful channel for the old money to exploit the new money.
The $400,000 price of Givenchy's dress doesn't mean that just one set of clothes is a thing, and the top fashion ordered through old money channels like Deutsche Bank is not sold for a single piece, but for a time period.
For example, top fashion almost does not consider the problem of washing, and the same is true for the twins of the little black dress, although it is nominally a set of skirts for 400,000 US dollars, but the actual delivery directly sends 6 pieces of the same style, and the customer has the option to choose whether to modify the skirt once every six months during the two-year service validity period.
Therefore, it is nominally a set of dresses for $400,000, but in essence, it is 12 dresses and 4 custom designs for two years, and each dress is more than $30,000, which is more than twice as expensive as the Oscar evening dresses of Hollywood actresses in the 90s.
Of course, if it is set with diamonds and crystals, it is not this way to play, it is often a single product starting with a million dollars, which is one of the mainstream channels for legal fraud of new money with old money.
In these years, the rich people on Hong Kong Island have not been as rich as in later generations, and they belong to nouveau riche with little status in the global rich circle, and the exclusive channels of old money are not open to them at all, and the losers have not reached the level of losing the Rolls-Royce after wearing it a few times.
Therefore, Gu Huiyi, who knows some of the old European fashion, was stunned by the twins' $800,000 dress.
Looking at the girl in front of her staring at herself, Gu Huiyi suddenly had the illusion of a weak heart, the older the so-called rivers and lakes, the less courageous she is, only ignorance can be meaningless, and the more you know, the more restrictions there are.
"Who is Gu Sanduo from Sister Gu?"
"Uh~, it's my father by blood, and in terms of actual relationship, it's a stranger. ”
Regarding the girl's sudden question, Gu Huiyi paused for a moment, the thoughts in her heart turned over tens of millions in an instant, and finally looked at the girl's face in a suite, and decided to tell the truth.
After all, those who dare to call Gu Lusheng Gu Sanduo instead of Gu Sanye this year are also a minority in the rich circle on Hong Kong Island.
Gu Sanduo owed countless romantic debts in his early years, there were a dozen wives and concubines on the surface, more than 20 biological children have been certified, and there are countless wild ones, and the Gu family recognition has been a daily emergency exclusive column in the Hong Kong Island media industry since the 80s, for example, there has been no big news recently, which has led to a decline in newspaper sales.
Although Gu Huiyi is not the wild one, she hates her father's smoky style and intrigue in the family, and after her mother died, she completely broke away from the Gu family.
Of course, Gu Sanduo is not bad for money, in addition to giving his children excellent educational resources, the entrepreneurial capital of 5 million Hong Kong dollars in adulthood is a part of every family certified child, and Gu Huiyi's Huiyi clothing also benefited from the business resources of the family when she started her business in the early years.
"Whether it's me or my sister, I have no interest in the spokesperson, but I am very interested in fashion fast-selling and the entertainment industry.
This style of painting is wrong, Gu Huiyi is a little confused, why did she suddenly transfer to a shrewd and capable OL when she was obviously an innocent and beautiful girl?
"Pocket money to invest?"
Gu Huiyi was born in a big family after all, so she asked tentatively.
The girl nodded and continued: "Sister Gu doesn't have to be afraid that I will squeeze out the right to speak in the operation after I participate in the shares, since Sister Gu intends to go north, have you heard of the brand Fengla in the Special Economic Zone?"
"I've heard about it, I've heard about it, I don't hide it from my sister, and I'm planning to talk to Fengla about OEM and design licensing. ”
"Maple is part of my sister's pocket money, and we never interfere in the day-to-day operations of Maple in China, but the three major design centers and marketing channels established by Maple in Europe are all invested and contacted by my sister and me. ”
The two girls have had a lot of contact with Liang Yuan, and naturally they have learned Liang Yuan's habits and angles of looking at problems, although the twins plan to regard directing as their future career, they have never limited themselves to directors or even the simple entertainment industry.
In the eyes of the twins, the core film of the profession is the upstream resources of art and fashion, the midstream resources are theaters and entertainers, the downstream is fashion fast-moving goods such as clothes, hats and shoes, the outer circle of the film is art design, and the cornerstone of supporting the progress of the entire ecosystem is new photography technology and new textile materials.
In Ning Wanfei's words, the art of the left hand and the science of the right hand should be hard in both hands, and the full name of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Award ~ Oscar has been particularly straightforward and clear to explain what the core of the movie is.
Ning Wanjia's understanding of her future career is more interesting, in the girl's own explanation of the future, Liang Yuan is responsible for using science and technology to make money, the girl herself is responsible for using culture and art to make money, Liang Yuan is responsible for the part of hard work and self-improvement to create material wealth, and the part of the twins who are arrogant and lascivious and drunk and drunk and satisfied with the spiritual world are responsible, anyway, no matter what kind of life attitude of their peers, they will fall into the big pit dug by the three of them in the future.
However, the twins unanimously said with a smile that judging from the actual example on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, only strong science and technology can give birth to strong culture and art, and the pig's head still needs to work hard.
This pocket money seems to be a bit much, Gu Huiyi secretly estimated Fengla's assets.
At present, Fengla has not opened stores in the Republic and Hong Kong Island for the time being, and all orders are mainly in Europe, but the price is moderate, the variety is wide, and the style is updated very quickly, which is already the preferred brand for young people to buy clothes in the Federal Republic of Germany, and has evolved into a high-end brand similar to light luxury in the GDR.
In the 90s, not to mention Hong Kong Island, fashion brands throughout Asia were just starting out and were still in the stage of copying the East.
Generally speaking, Paris and Milan are the birthplace of global fashion, North America is half a year slower than Paris and Milan, the East is half a year slower than North America, Hong Kong Island is half a year slower than the East, South Rods 4V is half a year slower than Hong Kong Island, and the scum of Southeast Asia is half a year slower than South Rods 4V.
Gu Huiyi, who has a European education background, has a very far-sighted vision, and plans to skip the East and North America and get solutions and inspiration directly from Europe, the source of fashion, so Fengla, which is rising rapidly in Europe, has naturally fallen into Gu Huiyi's eyes.
Ning Wanjia opened her mouth to woo Gu Huiyi, and she also knew that Gu Huiyi's knowledge of fast-selling fashion was not inferior to Feili, and she was also the top management personnel in the Hong Kong Island clothing industry to develop and manage chain stores.
"Far ~~, uh, New Jardine Matheson will not seek a controlling stake in Giordano. ”
The girl almost casually brought Yuanjia out, but after reacting, she casually put the pot on Yihe's head.
"What's the new Jardine?"
"Some time ago, didn't the president of Jardine Matheson mention the Great Jardine Plan for Jardine Matheson to go north, and that plan is also called the New Jardine Plan. ”
"Is the little sister familiar with Jardine?"
"Well, my sister and I have invested part of our pocket money in the new Jardine Matheson, and Maple La is also an important part of the new Jardine Matheson plan. ”
"The little sister is really powerful, she is actually a shareholder of Jardine Matheson. ”
Gu Huiyi seemed to flatter unintentionally.
"It's just an exchange of shareholdings with Jardine Matheson's subsidiaries in the mainland, and I can't afford to be called a shareholder of Jardine Matheson. ”
The girl didn't leak a drop in the water and threw out the problem of the boss behind the scenes of Jardine Matheson, who was extremely curious about the people on Hong Kong Island.
Although Gu Huiyi was so curious about the actual identity of the twins behind the scenes, she didn't ask this question after all.
"My sister is really lucky today, she can be regarded as a wish, I really didn't expect Fengla to be the little sister's industry. ”
"Fengla is not my industry, Feng Jingwei is the controlling person of Fengla. ”
New Jardine Matheson's shares in Fengla are just over 30%, although Jardine Matheson does not control it, but Feng Jingwei, the founder of Fengla, mortgaged 55% of his shares to the Bank of the Special Administrative Region.
"My sister is in a hurry, so Ming'er will go to Mr. Feng. ”
After Gu Huiyi finished speaking, she looked at Ning Wanjia expectantly, waiting for the girl to make a decision.
"Mr. Feng is a good hand at production management, and he is definitely not as good as Sister Gu in fashion and store management, if you want me to say that Sister Gu doesn't mention any OEM authorization, let's open a new company together and directly operate dual brands on Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia, Giordano is aimed at the student class, and Fengla is aimed at young white-collar workers. ”
"Sister, sister is not afraid of your jokes, the little liquidity on hand is spent on acquiring Giordano's shares, if you run a new brand, you really can't come up with a lot of cash to rent a store. ”
"This thing is easy to do, if you lack funds, you can find a joint investment bank, and if you lack a storefront, you can find Hong Kong Island Land. ”
Ning Wanjia pointed in the direction of Qilian Mountain and Niu Bijian as she spoke.
Qilianshan hangs the president's former Hong Kong Island United Trust, and the original Jardine Matheson Investment Bank has been integrated into the Hong Kong Island United Investment Bank, which is responsible for the investment of the new Jardine Matheson in the direction of equity, and Hong Kong Island Land has always been the largest high-end property owner on Hong Kong Island, and it is easier to find a store than to drink water.
Although she knew that it was rude, Gu Huiyi still looked at Ning Wanjia with very puzzled eyes.
"Come on, Sister Gu, if you really want to cooperate with those two directly, I'm so close to that side, and people won't run away suddenly, how can I lie to you, I can count on my pocket money to increase quickly." ”
Ning Wanjia smiled and pushed Gu Huiyi's arm.
Gu Huiyi thought about it, it was only seven or eight meters away from Qilian Mountain, Ning Wanjia couldn't talk nonsense, but after thinking about it, Gu Huiyi realized that the background of the girl in front of her was simply terrifying, and what kind of face could it be to listen to the tone that could make Hong Kong Island Land support the store casually.
With a little embarrassment, the three of them smiled with Ning Wanjia, and Gu Huiyi walked towards Qilian Mountain.
The face of the proprietress Qi Lianshan and Niu Bijian naturally wanted to give, Gu Huiyi just glanced at this side in surprise after she passed, and she consciously focused on the discussion and negotiation with Qi Lianshan and Niu Bijian in front of her.
With Gu Huiyi at the beginning, other people in the cocktail party also came over to say hello and get to know the three one after another, but except for some media editors-in-chief, almost all of them were young men.
Fortunately, the high level of the cocktail party and the security personnel were watching from the side, and there was no stalking, and the twins did not hide their names and the fact that they were from the mainland when they intended to integrate the entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island, but Liang Yuan did not plan to bubble, so he simply gave himself the identity of a twin brother.
The flow of people coming and going continued, Liang Yuan and the two girls could only talk casually, and after listening to countless words touting the appearance of the two girls, Liang Yuan decided to go to the bathroom to release the water.
Finding that the young man who seemed to be the captain of the security guard got up and left, Wei Zhen turned his head and said to Li Jiaxin beside him, You wait for me here, I'll go over there to get a few oranges and seafood, and without waiting for Li Jiaxin's reaction, he walked directly to the seafood area.
Looking at Wei Zhen's resolute background and the eyes that had been falling on the two beautiful girls, Li Jiaxin crooked the corners of her mouth and snorted quietly, took out the makeup mirror from her handbag and looked at the bangs on her forehead, and then walked towards the bathroom with high heels.
Liang Yuan leisurely finished releasing the water, and shook three times on tiptoe, and Shi Shiran went out of the bathroom satisfied.
Gently twisting the silver antique faucet to wash his hands, Liang Yuan complained that the bathroom at Mandarin Oriental did not have a sensor faucet, and wondered whether to let Song Xiaowei close the hotel and redecorate.
There was the sound of high heels hitting the ground in his ears, and Liang Yuan knew that the female guard next door happened to have someone coming out.
The toilet near the seafood area of the reception is not the main bathroom of the venue, there is only one wash basin and faucet, and Liang Yuan plans to stop making room for others.
Before Liang Yuan could turn off the faucet, a sound mixed with exclamations, moans, and light gasps went straight into Liang Yuan's ears, and a delicate body with a fragrant breeze smashed directly into Liang Yuan's arms.
