In the VIP room, Richard and Padgio were holding cigars with anxious expressions. An old blond man wearing sunglasses and a smug look was looking at the two of them: "Hey, Pudge, Richard, why are you two so anxious? Richard, didn't you just lose someone? What's the big deal? Our company just had such a big deal, and I'm not playing here in style? Oh, I see, you're afraid of losing to me, right?"

Richard glared at the old man who spoke, "Shut up, Philnet, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, Peggy, Miao, what are you doing?

Pagio looked helpless: "I don't know, Miao Miu is hiding this matter from me! I don't know anything at all!"

"Didn't you see Huang and Pan, they went to see what was going on? Richard said urgently.

Pagio pouted: "I'm afraid that Xiao will beat me, I don't want to join in this fun." ”

Philnet, who was left out in the cold, was speechless: "Hey, what are you talking about? Pagio, why are you still afraid of being beaten? Who dares to beat you? What kind of international jokes are you making?"

Pagio turned around: "Shut up, 'Bucks', you know a fart!"

Everyone else in the VIP room looked at the three old men dumbfounded, what the hell is going on here? Philnet was just being snubbed? This is not scientific, no one in the world can ignore him like this.

Who is Philnet? The world's first 'karate', with the ability of 'empty gloves white wolf', created a business empire with an annual turnover of 100 billion US dollars------ Nike Group.

In this world, countless successful cases of 'self-made' have always been the driving force that inspires people to move forward and struggle. But in fact, how many of them are really 'self-made'? I'm afraid less than one-fifth! More often than they rely on some legal or illegal activities.

For example, Bill Gates, they all say that Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard and started from scratch, please, his mother is an IMB executive, Microsoft's first contract was given to him by his mother, his father is even more amazing, the owner of Ellice Commercial Law Firm in Stars and Stripes, one of the top 100 law firms in Stars and Stripes, and his business covers Stars and Stripes and the Asia-Pacific region。。。。。。

Li Bancheng, the richest man on Hong Kong Island, mentioned that he used to make plastic flowers when he was young, how poor he was when he was a child, how he didn't have the opportunity to study, and so on, but in fact, he studied for a few years before he worked for his rich uncle, and then married his cousin, and the business he started was strongly supported by his father-in-law.

As Wang Gungwu, a professor at Lijiapo National University, said: "I have never met a businessman who was born as a coolie." In order to show their self-struggle, the rich make up all kinds of 'touching stories' to belittle their origins. And their good education and 'example' and extensive connections are advantages that the grassroots people completely lack. But the former is the main factor for 'success'.

Of course, this is not to say that there are no self-made cases, no matter which way you look at it, Philnet was one of them, and his family's biggest help was to send him to college, which was extremely unsupportive when he decided to start a sneaker company.

He relied on his ability to be an 'empty glove white wolf' to create the now world-famous Nike empire.

After graduating from college, he went to the Wa country and contacted the local sneaker brand 'Onitsuka Tiger' (which can be understood as Asics, both of which are sports brands created by the Japanese Onitsuka Hachihiro, the first Onitsuka Tiger, and then some Asics, now the two brands coexist and develop at the same time), and they have to become their agents in the Star and Striped Country. To add credibility, he also created a virtual 'Le Cordon Bleu sporting goods' company, saying that he was the owner of the company.

In the end, with his clever tongue and the admiration of the Japanese people for the Stars and Stripes at that time, Philnet became the agent of the 'Onitsuka Tiger' sneakers in the Stars and Stripes, and also reached an agency clause of selling the shoes first and then giving money.

After representing the Onitsuka Tigers for a few years, Philnet and his partner Bowman spent $600 each to set up Le Cordon Bleu Sporting Goods.

And his business strategy is also very good, he used all the money he earned to open up the market, and he didn't even have money to pay his employees, so he could only give employees blank checks, because of this, it even attracted an FBI investigation, and finally with the help of a Japanese businessman, he survived the crisis.

The 'Le Cordon Bleu Sporting Goods' company grew bigger and bigger, and eventually became the largest distributor of 'Onizuka Tiger' sneakers in the United States, and the company had more and more funds. In 1966, Filnet finally decided to do something of his own.

And Phil Knight was originally a long-distance runner, although his performance was not excellent, but he could not stand up to the fact that he had a 'good coach' Balman. As a long-distance running coach, Bowerman's biggest interest is to make his own sneakers to improve the speed of students' long-distance running.

In 1966, Baulman designed an alternative shoe, a running shoe made of soft nylon. This shoe is not good for everyone, because the mainstream uppers of that generation are made of leather, and nylon shoes feel too inferior.

But since its launch, this shoe has become popular all over the world, becoming the first generation of Nike's most famous and classic Cortez series of shoes, and Forrest Gump wore this shoe to run all over the Stars and Stripes in the movie "Forrest Gump". And Le Cordon Bleu is no longer the original 'under the fence' brand agency, but has become a sports company with its own brand.

And because the business of the Le Cordon Bleu company was so good, the annual sales exceeded six million US dollars in 71, and the people of the country could not sit still, so the Onitsuka Tiger sent someone to the Stars and Stripes Country, and proposed that the Ghost Ribbon Tiger buy 51% of the shares of the Blue Ribbon and occupy two positions among the five directors, otherwise they would stop providing Filnet with the 'Onitsuka Tiger' sneakers. Philnet rejected this unreasonable demand, and at the end of the year, Nike was founded.

I have to say that Phil Knight is indeed a business wizard, and since the establishment of Nike, Nike does not have a factory. They are using their trademarks, design and development capabilities to produce on a special license in areas with low labor costs, while the company concentrates all its resources on R&D design and marketing. This started a trend that is now being followed by an entire industry and even the entire business world.

That is to say, no matter who you are, you don't have to be surprised if you buy the 'genuine Nike' of 'MADE IN CHINA', it is not a fake, and the quality is guaranteed. In a few years, you may only be able to buy genuine Nike that is "Made in Vietnam", "Made in India" and "Made in Africa", because the labor cost in China is also high.

Later, Phil Knight created a sales strategy of celebrity endorsement to start popularity, starting from 73 years, it hired long-distance runner Pleadfontein to endorse its sneakers, and in 1985, it hired Mike Jordan as a spokesperson, and launched sneakers named after Jordan, creating a precedent for star sneakers.

In this way, Nike beat Adidas and became the world's number one sports brand. And Fairnet, with his unique business vision and full personality, has become the 'most eccentric leader' in the world's top 500 companies. It has become the goal of countless young people in the Stars and Stripes.

As a result, such a person is ignored by the people around him?

Looking at the two people who are talking, well, one is Pagio of the Prada Group, and the other is Richard of the Virgin Group, they are good friends with Philnet, so it is not surprising that they are talking like this.

Pagio looked at Di Wei and his family, who were sitting there to buy horse tickets, and said hurriedly: "Isn't Xiao your good friend?

Di Wei was buying a horse with Li Ru there, and when he heard Padgio say this, Di Wei shrugged: "I'm not as daring to challenge myself as Lao Pan and the two of them. What do they think? Don't they just want to see Brother Peng's liveliness? How can Brother Peng's liveliness be so good-looking? When Brother Peng comes to his senses, they are waiting to be cleaned up. ”

Pagio said hurriedly: "I'm worried that Xiao's side of the matter will not be resolved well, which will affect his game for a while." ”

Di Wei looked at Pagio with a disgusted expression: "I thought you were worried about whether Brother Peng would have an accident, but what you were worried about was the results of the competition." I'll tell Brother Peng about this. ”

Pagio's face changed, and he said with a smile: "Di Wei, we have been traveling together for so long, and we have always thanked you for taking care of us on the ship, what do you want to eat? What do you want to drink? ”

Different from the excitement in the VIP room, Xiao Peng now has a sad face, he wants to run away now, but a few small hands hold him tightly. He couldn't run if he wanted to. Xiao Peng had a smile on his face, but laughing was uglier than crying.

Miao Miao gave him a super big surprise: because she got the diamond given to her by Xiao Peng, Miao Miao was inspired to launch four collector's edition diamond bags, namely the Cahier handbag, the Ribbon handbag, and the mini version of the shell bag and the killer bag. These are Prada's classic women's bags. Now with four diamonds at once.

It's no surprise that these luxury women's bags are available in diamonds, but the large diamonds set in these four bags are just too eye-catching. A red carpet like this is always a great opportunity for major luxury brands to increase their presence.

But what Miao Miao didn't tell Xiao Peng was. A total of four bags were made, in addition to herself and Yumei as models, there were two models------ one was Alexandra, and the other was Gemma Ward, fortunately Minnie didn't come, otherwise the four women would be enough to make a table of mahjong.
