Chapter 819: Boss, Don't Threaten Them!
(FFF: You get the idea!)
The story told by Kecorian and Wu Cheng is not much different from the story that Wu Cheng saw on the Internet in his previous life. In later generations, www.biquge.info there was a tragic love story about the founder of Victoria's Secret on the Internet. Wu Cheng didn't know if the story was made up or true, so he just watched it. Unexpectedly, the name that Kecorian told him was similar to the story, and he saw a beautiful woman on the beach.
Looking at it, he used his inspiration to draw many sketches of underwear, which caused the girl's displeasure, and finally met the girl.
Roy asked her where she bought the underwear, and the girl said it was a 'secret' and lied about her name Victoria, and then Roy named his lingerie store 'Victoria's Secret', because underwear is a private thing, and it is indeed a girl's secret.
As a result, the two met and fell in love, just like in the fairy tale.
It's just that the girl already has a fiancΓ©, and the result is naturally that lovers can't end up married.
When the girl returned to England, she talked to her parents, but it was clearly not very effective. Therefore, she wrote to Roy for help, but because the letter was intercepted by her father, Roy did not receive the girl's letter, and the letter Roy sent to the girl also fell to the bottom of the sea.
In the end, the girl had no choice but to get married.
Last year, Roy couldn't help but miss it, and went to London to look for her, only to find out that the address she gave was fake. There, he did not find the girl Victoria.
After returning from London, Roy began to be trapped by love, began to drink heavily, and left the company alone. This year, the company's performance has fallen sharply.
If this development continues, the year after tomorrow, he will sell Victoria's Secret.
In the original time and space, some people on the Internet said that Roy sold Victoria's Secret, and finally committed suicide by jumping off the bridge, because his vision was not good, and he sold Victoria's Secret for four million dollars, but as soon as people operated, it directly changed from four million to two or three billion, which made Roy regret it. Later, because all kinds of investments failed, he committed suicide by jumping off the San Francisco Bridge in remorse.
However, Wu Cheng feels that this possibility is actually not too high.
Because Victoria's Secret's performance last year had stabilized at 5 million, but he sold the company for 4 million dollars, there must be a reason for this.
Now it seems that the biggest reason should be that this guy is trapped by love and has no intention of running his own business, so he directly sold Victoria's Secret.
Because he has paid attention to some Victoria's Secret angels, he also has some understanding of some things about Victoria's Secret, but he doesn't know a lot of things.
Many rumors were read by him as stories.
And the story of this founder also happens to be within Wu Cheng's reading range.
Moreover, he also knows that there is a follow-up development to that story, but the ending is still so sad. It is said that later, the girl divorced her husband because the man she loved in her heart was Roy, the founder of Victoria's Secret.
However, when she returned, Roy had already sold the company. Later, the girl entered Victoria's Secret, and with her own efforts, she rose all the way, and finally launched the Victoria's Secret Angel Show on TV.
It was precisely because of this show that Roy's mother knew about her, and then sent her the last set of underwear that Roy made for the girl before he died, and she searched for the door according to the address, but the final result was that the person she once loved had already passed away.
It's a sad story!
In Wu Cheng's mind, there is a whole story, and it can even be adapted into a movie.
However, from Kerkoryan, there is only the first half of the story.
Wu Cheng touched his chin and pondered, if this story was true, perhaps, he could help this genius underwear designer. Provided, of course, that he sells the company to himself.
In his memory tree, when Victoria's Secret was sold, it seemed to be eighty-two, that is, the year after that. At that time, Victoria's Secret was no longer in operation.
Now, Victoria's Secret's performance has begun to decline, and even many people feel that if this continues, this underwear store will be ruined, and finally it will go out of business, or be sold, it is certain.
"Acceptance, do you really want to buy this lingerie store?"
Wu Cheng glanced at Kecorian and said with a smile: "Don't you want to buy it too?"
Kecorian laughed and said, "I'm just talking, can I, who runs casinos, movies, and catering, really run to make underwear......?"
Seeing that this guy seems to have a little contempt for the underwear industry, or is afraid of being laughed at, Wu Cheng couldn't help but glance at him, and I can do underwear with my brother, right?
He stretched out his hand and patted Wu Cheng on the shoulder, and said, "But I think you can still do it, don't you have a clothing company under your name?" I heard that many of your own clothes are designed by yourself yourself, and the dress that Ms. Hepburn is wearing today is also your masterpiece!"
Wu Cheng coughed lightly and said, "Clothing and underwear, these are two different things!"
"Actually, it's all the same, I admire your gaze, and I admire your ability, I think if you design a few fashion lingerie for those beauties, it must be very sexy, sensual, very sultry, I really look forward to it!" said Kerkorian, laughing again.
Even fools can see that this guy is completely ready to see a joke.
Wu Cheng smiled, too lazy to refute him.
"Okay, you look at the beauty here, I'll go and greet the others!"
Kerkorian and Wu Cheng said goodbye, and saw two men and women walking towards Wu Cheng, "Hello Mr. Wu, it's a pleasure to meet you here, my name is Wenna Antour, I am the senior editor of the fashion column of New York magazine, and this is my good friend Karl Lagerfeld, from Germany, is a fashion fashion designer...... Maybe you don't know us, but for your name, we have been famous for a long time, in your Chinese words, what is it called 'Thunder'......"
Wu Cheng also has to admire the bold character of these Westerners, and he dares to say what he doesn't know how to say, but these two, the female Wu Cheng is not very familiar, but this man, in the fashion clothing design industry in later generations, is really a famous existence.
He wears sunglasses all year round, has long hair, and has a small braid on the back of his head, and is known as 'Galeries Lafayette'.
However, at this time, he was not wearing sunglasses, maybe he was embarrassed to pretend to beep in front of someone like Wu Cheng!
"That word is 'like thunder!'" Wu Cheng corrected her with a smile and said, "I have also heard of the two names, especially this designer. I thought about asking this gentleman to be the design director of my clothing company, but unfortunately, this designer did not like my clothing company at that time and refused my invitation. β
The corners of Wu Cheng's lips raised slightly, and he smiled at the Julius Caesar, who was later known as the fashion industry.
Carl could see that although Wu Cheng said this, he could see that he should not be angry with him, so he clenched his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, and said, "At that time, it was just because I had never heard of the brand Phoenix Clothing. If Mr. Wu invites me again now......"
"Okay then, I formally invite you to be the design director of our Phoenix Clothing, if you want, the public company here in Europe and the United States can be fully responsible for you!"
ββ¦β¦β
Carl really wanted to give himself a mouthful, he was just polite, but he didn't expect Wu Cheng to climb up the pole directly, and now he promised it, and if he didn't agree, it was a bit difficult to ride a tiger.
At this time, Wen Na smiled and relieved him: "Maybe I want to disappoint Mr. Wu, the French Chanel company is also inviting Karl to be the fashion design director of their company." β
Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Mr. Lagerfeld didn't agree, did he?"
Wu Cheng naturally knows that the brand of Chanel in later generations is also a well-known world-class brand and one of the representatives of luxury goods.
And it is said that after this Lafayette entered Chanel, he directly saved Chanel's almost finished fashion, so you can imagine how capable this guy is.
"If you want, I'll give you five percent of the shares of Phoenix Clothing Europe and the United States Branch for free, can you do it?" Wu Cheng looked at him with a smile.
He was stunned for a moment, and finally said: "Mr. Wu, I am very curious, with your understanding and application of fashion elements, as well as your sensitivity to fashion, even without my joining, the rise of Phoenix clothing is inevitable, why do you want me to be the design director? β
Wu Cheng spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders and said, "But who called me a film director?"
ββ¦β¦β
Listening to Wu Cheng's answer with a little pride, Lafayette's whole person was not good.
A guy who plays movies, oh no, he not only plays movies, but also runs many companies as the boss, and has billions of dollars in assets, but his talent in fashion is still beyond people's reach...... This is really more popular than people!
He originally thought that in the fashion industry, he would wrestle with Wu Cheng!
Now that I think about it, even if I win, I have nothing to be proud of!
If he himself is a genius designer, then this young rich man is a monster. He himself is fully dedicated, but others are just playing.
"I thought, I need to go back and think about it!"
Wu Cheng smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem! But what I want to say is that joining Phoenix Clothing is an opportunity for you and me." Although Chanel is a good brand, with us, you can get more creative freedom. In a sense, we are the same kind of people, and we can all be said to be engaged in creation. Fashion design, so to speak, is also an art!"
Hearing Wu Cheng's last words, Carl's eyes couldn't help but light up, as if he had found the feeling of knowing words. (To be continued.) )
