Chapter 330: Who Called Whom
However, after this dress was designed, Xu Xiaoman regretted it.
Knowing this, I added some money at that time and bought a few more sets of buttons.
Of course, what she didn't know was that even if she added money at that time, Li Xi would not sell her the extra buttons.
When I received a call from Li Xi, I couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, "Hey, you are that Mr. Li." ”
"Hehe!" Li Xi smiled, "It's Xu Xiaoman, right? I'm Li Xi, the one who sold you the buttons." ”
Xu Xiaoman forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, "Mr. Li is looking for me, what's the matter?"
Li Xi said directly: "Xu Xiaoman, I want to ask, are you going to a banquet?"
"yes. Xu Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's Yan Zhaohua's banquet, right?
"What about those buttons, you have already used that set of buttons to design a dress?" Li Xi continued to ask.
"yes. Xu Xiaoman couldn't help but smile proudly when he heard Li Xi mention the dress, "Thanks to Mr. Li's buttons, if there is no such new buttons......"
Li Xi didn't wait for Xu Xiaoman to finish speaking, and then interrupted the other party's words, "Wait, I want to ask you, are you going to wear this button-down dress to the banquet?"
"This ......" Xu Xiaoman was stunned again. The reason why she was stunned was not that Li Xi guessed her thoughts, but because this matter was so obvious that it was taken for granted by Li Xi. What she didn't expect was why Li Xi asked herself about it.
"Okay, I got it. Li Xi heard Xu Xiaoman's reaction from the phone, and immediately realized what was going on, "You are planning to wear this dress to the banquet, right?"
"yes. Xu Xiaoman realized at this time, replied, and then couldn't help but ask Li Xi, "Mr. Li, do you still plan to sell that set of buttons?" If you are willing to sell, I plan to buy a few more sets, and the price is a little more expensive, it is nothing." ”
"Let's talk about buttons. Li Xi said straight to the point, "Xu Xiaoman, don't wear that button dress at this banquet." ”
"Why?" Xu Xiaoman asked, but a little unhappiness suddenly surged in his heart, this man is too domineering, right? Do you know who you're talking to?
Even if you really have a reason not to let me wear that button-down dress to the banquet, you should discuss it with me in a good voice, who can stand this kind of commanding tone?
What's more, you've already sold me that set of buttons. I don't care if I want to wear my own buttons and dresses to the banquet, and you don't care if you don't care about me, right?
"Not why. Li Xi said: "Just ask you not to wear that dress and go to the banquet, do you agree?"
"This ......" Xu Xiaoman hesitated suddenly, to be honest, she was really reluctant to agree, not to mention the man opposite, her tone was so blunt, just without any reason, let herself agree, and it also made her feel a little resentful in her heart.
It's just that if I buy buttons in the future, it seems that I have to cooperate with each other again. As a fashion designer and the head of a fashion company, she really doesn't want to anger such a person.
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask Li Xi, "Mr. Li, you asked me not to wear this dress, you have to give me a reason." ”
Li Xi thought for a moment, "Okay, I have a friend who also made such a dress and plans to wear it to the banquet." ”
Xu Xiaoman didn't wait for Li Xi to finish speaking, he understood, and suddenly said: "I understand, Mr. Li, do you want me to give the name of the founder of the button dress to this friend of yours?"
"That's right. Li Xi directly admitted it. This kind of purpose can be guessed by anyone, so there is nothing to hide.
"I'm curious. Xu Xiaomanqi said: "Is it the one I saw at your house when I went to buy buttons?"
"It's her. Li Yi asked: "You tell me directly, do you agree?"
"Hehe!" Xu Xiaoman was not in a hurry to answer, "Mr. Li, can you ask, is that your friend?"
"It's just a normal friend. Li Xi replied as he looked back.
At this time, Bai Wenyan was playing with Ding Doudou in the hall, and he didn't seem to notice what was going on here.
"Ordinary friends?" Xu Xiaoman obviously didn't believe it, "Ordinary friends, it doesn't seem like this, right?" Mr. Li, you are really righteous towards your ordinary friend. ”
"I don't have to worry about what I do to my friends. Li Xi heard Xu Xiaoman's words, and he questioned himself, at least he doubted the relationship between himself and Bai Wenyan, and refuted angrily.
"Hehe!" Xu Xiaoman heard the displeasure in the other party's tone, but he was not angry, "Mr. Li, can you ask, what is the name of this friend of yours? To put it mildly, in the fashion design industry, in our city, there is no slightly famous clothing designer that I Xu Xiaoman does not know." ”
"Her name is Bai Wenyan. Li Xi replied.
"Bai Wenyan?" Xu Xiaoman seemed to be thinking, but it didn't take long for him to think of which one Li Xi was talking about, "Oh, I know, it turned out to be her?"
"You know her too?" Li Xi wondered.
Bai Wenyan himself said that in the clothing design industry, he is not very famous, at least, anyway, he must not be compared with Xu Xiaoman, but he didn't expect this Xu Xiaoman to have heard of Bai Wenyan.
"Some impressions. Xu Xiaoman didn't deliberately be modest, "I just haven't seen it." It is said that she is a single mother, and in terms of clothing design, she can often make some new ideas, but most of them are not very successful. ”
"Oh!" Xu Xiaoman's evaluation is similar to what Li Xi knows from other places, it seems that outsiders' evaluation of Bai Wenyan is indeed like this.
"Okay, do you agree?" Li said.
Xu Xiaoman smiled, "What can I say who can design a button-down dress, it turned out to be her, it's no wonder." Mr. Li, did you ask me to promise not to wear this button-down dress at a banquet?"
Li Xi didn't answer, he said this several times.
Xu Xiaoman couldn't wait for Li Xi's answer, and secretly cursed a few words of coldness in his heart, and muttered for a while before continuing: "The name of the founder of the button dress is really important. Mr. Li, it seems a little unreasonable for me to give up this name for no reason, right?"
Li Xi said coldly: "You just say it, what do you want?"
"Hehe!" Xu Xiaoman smiled and said approvingly: "Mr. Li is so refreshing, since this is the case, I will make an offer." ”
"......" Li Xi was silent.
Xu Xiaoman continued: "Mr. Li, can you ask, where did your buttons come from?"
"No, you can't. Li Xi's language is concise, the buttons are grown from the button tree, not to mention whether she can tell Xu Xiaoman the question, even if she tells her, if she is not allowed to see the button tree, will she believe herself?
As for letting people see the button tree, the current Li Xi has no plans for the time being.
"Oh!" As if he had already guessed this result, Xu Xiaoman did not show much disappointment, "In that case, Mr. Li, how about selling me a set of your buttons?"
"I mean a whole set, not a set of buttons, but you sell me a set of buttons for every button." ”
When Li Xi heard this, he couldn't help but groan, Xu Xiaoman's proposal was not too much. However, even Li Xi, so far, it is not clear whether the buttons on the button tree are the same as last time they grow next time after they are picked off every time.
If every two buttons are the same, then the buttons that grow on the button tree will inevitably be greatly discounted.
Luxury goods, especially such expensive luxury goods, must have a unique nature in order to sell for a good price.
Therefore, if the buttons on the button tree are different every time, the value of the button tree will be much higher, relatively speaking.
If it's all the same, this button tree is basically only the value of the buttons that grow from the first tree, and the buttons that grow after that have no added value.
Li Xi planned to go back and take a look, make sure it, and couldn't help but ask Xu Xiaoman, "What kind of price do you plan to offer?"
"Hehe!" Xu Xiaoman smiled, "How about a thousand yuan?"
"A thousand yuan?" Li Xi was angry when he heard this, "Why don't you go and grab it?"
Hung up directly. It's no wonder he gets angry, a thousand yuan a piece, not to mention the added value of buttons, just the absolute value, not more than a thousand.
Of course, even the buttons that grow from the button tree are good and bad, and the value of inferior buttons, such as gold buttons, will be much lower.
But even gold buttons are not necessarily worth more than a thousand.
You know, this kind of button is not like the jewelry sold in jewelry stores, such as gold studs and gold rings, a piece of jewelry, the gold used is pitiful.
This kind of button, especially the gold button, each button, is a very large kind, a button, almost as big as a dollar coin.
Such a large button, even if its absolute value is more than a thousand.
Therefore, Xu Xiaoman's offer is simply blackmail.
Therefore, when Li Xi heard this, he immediately hung up the phone.
Even in his heart, he couldn't help but be angry, "If you don't agree, then okay, tonight, I'll go and plant a plague for you, and see how you still participate in the banquet." ”
Not to mention that he was ruthless on his side, Xu Xiaoman didn't expect that the other party had no intention of bargaining with him at all, so he hung up the phone directly.
After hesitating for a moment, she called back and said with a smile: "Hehe, Mr. Li, your temperament is too anxious, right?"
Li Xi is not impatient, but when there are other better solutions, he really doesn't want to talk nonsense with Xu Xiaoman.
"One thousand yuan a piece, why don't you just grab it?" Li Xi was not angry.
"There's always a counter-offer. Xu Xiaoman smiled: "Mr. Li, for girls, you should give a little way." ”
"You do business by others?" Li Xi retorted unceremoniously.
"Hehe!" Xu Xiaoman smiled again, "That's it, since Mr. Li doesn't agree, let's change the conditions." I have a suggestion, would you think about it and see if it fits?"
"You say. Li Xi's tone was much calmer.
Xu Xiaoman said: "Mr. Li, are you going to leave all your buttons for your friend?"
"yes. Li Xi was blunt.
Xu Xiaoman smiled again, "In this case, everyone is doing costume design, you and your friend discuss it to see if she is willing to cooperate with me." Of course, it is limited to the cooperation of new button clothes, and if your friend is willing to cooperate with me, there is nothing wrong with giving her the name of the founder of the button dress. ”
Cooperate?
Li Xi hesitated. To be honest, Xu Xiaoman's proposal is not bad. Although Bai Wenyan is also a fashion designer, he doesn't even have his own studio. It's not like other fashion designers, at least they have their own team.
Therefore, for Bai Wenyan, even if he gave her all the buttons, expecting her to make so many buttons into dresses or clothes, I don't know if it is the Year of the Monkey.
If you cooperate with Xu Xiaoman, Xu Xiaoman has his own design studio, his own garment factory, and his own fame is much greater than Bai Wenyan.
Being able to cooperate with such a famous and resourceful fashion designer is a good choice for Bai Wenyan.
At the same time, for Xu Xiaoman, being able to cooperate with Bai Wenyan also means that he can use the buttons he provides infinitely.
In general, the reason why Xu Xiaoman chose to cooperate with Bai Wenyan was just for his own buttons.
But in any case, whether it is for Bai Wenyan or Xu Xiaoman, cooperation is a good thing for both sides.
It's just that Li Xi was worried that Bai Wen's tobacco background was low, and cooperating with Xu Xiaoman would inevitably accept the other party's suppression, so for a while, he couldn't help but hesitate.
"Well, I'll ask her if she'd like to work with you. Li Xi quickly made a decision.
When Xu Xiaoman heard Li Xi's promise, he couldn't help but smile on the other end of the phone, "Mr. Li, if she agrees, you ask her to call me." ”
Xu Xiaoman's words may be unintentional, but listening to Li Xi's ears, he vaguely felt a trace of arrogance from the other party's words.
In Li Xi's feelings, he felt that this Xu Xiaoman seemed to be self-conscious, and there was a hint of elevating himself in front of Bai Wenyan.
Obviously, in modern society, even if it is just a phone call, whether A calls B, or B calls A, invisibly, it can explain some subtle things.
Li Xi was not angry, and couldn't help but refute, "Why didn't you call her?"
Xu Xiaoman wisely did not refute Li Xi, "Hehe, Mr. Li, you haven't discussed it with your friend yet, how do I know if she will agree." (To be continued.) )
