Chapter 100, Milan, three famous cars to pick up
Milan, the second largest city in Italy, is located on the Lombardy Plain, famous for architecture, fashion, art, painting, opera, football, tourism, and is a very long southern European city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Milan is also one of the world's famous international metropolises, one of the world's eight metropolitan areas, the most developed city in Italy and one of the four major economic centers in Europe, the GDP of the metropolitan area accounts for about 5% of Italy's GDP, and it is the most densely populated and industrially developed area in Europe.
At the same time, it is also the world's fashion and design capital and the most influential city in the fashion industry, a world historical and cultural city, a world opera mecca, and a world art capital. It is no exaggeration to say that Milan Fashion Week, as one of the four famous international fashion weeks, has always been regarded as the "barometer" of fashion design and consumption in the world.
When Alice learns that Ashley Olaire was not only born in Milan, but her mother also worked as a fashion design consultant for Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Prada, and has an independent wedding photography studio, the joy is unparalleled.
If you don't know how powerful Ashley's mother is, Alice certainly wouldn't be casually in "Oscar & Hannah" spent so much time and money. Although with the "Man from the Atlantic Bottom", the mainland market will be swept by the trend of toad glasses and bell bottoms throughout the 80s, but Alice certainly knows that without real clothing and fashion research and development capabilities, this company will definitely not be able to last long.
Luckily, when Los Angeles was covered in pouring rain, more than 100 miles to the south, San Diego, on the California-Mexico border, was still clear. So, taking advantage of the night flight, Alice and her family successfully boarded a Boeing 747 flight, and after a night flight, after a long journey of 14 hours through Amsterdam, they finally successfully reached their destination.
"So, if you can't leave last night, the whole trip will be dragged down!"
Outside the glass window, the sky was dark, the stars were twinkling in the sky, and as the dense flow of people walked outside the airport, Alice sighed: "But the air is really good, and the Mediterranean climate in Italy is exactly the same as that of Los Angeles, so it can avoid the water and soil." ”
Oscar walked briskly with his suitcase, listened to his sister's words, and snorted and smiled: "You actually can't wait for dinner, can you admit it?"
Alice glanced at her brother with disdain: "I'm just looking forward to it, can't I? A traditional Italian family dinner, and Ashley's grandmother is still from the Ferrero family, don't tell me, you don't want to taste their chocolate, handmade." ”
Oscar snorted again, but this time his heart was much weaker, and Hannah on the side immediately giggled.
"But...... It's going to take a bit of effort to get back jet lag. ”
Sophie walked with a yawn, boarding in Santiago at this time last night, and landing in Milan at this time today, but the real itinerary was far less than half of the day and night, this is the power of jet lag, it is easy to make people stupid and confused.
Of course, it won't take long to get out of the airport, and when the warm Italian air blows in her face, on the dry and flat road under the night, Ashley is excitedly waving to Alice, and behind her is ......
"Bastard, it's three Maseratis!"
Alice walked up quickly, laughed and hugged Ashley affectionately: "I said dear, do you need such a big show? Don't tell me it's all your family, no one will buy three identical cars, they must be rented, right?"
Ashley didn't say a word, first left a hot kiss mark on Alice's face, and then said happily: "My grandmother heard about your deeds, these cars were specially sent by her family, and don't forget, "Ghost Record" has been released in Milan, she is still your fan!"
So, Alice grinned and said, "Your grandmother...... Well, it's amazing, and I'm not afraid of a heart attack. ”
It was really a problem for Oscar to listen to a few words in this string, he was just looking at the three four-seater Maserati limouses. The light under the street lamps shines clearly, and the front seat of each car is equipped with a driver in a black suit and wearing sunglasses.
He grew his mouth: "Ashley, these cars...... What do you mean your grandmother sent me?"
Ashley greeted James, Sophie, and Hannah in turn, and then responded to Oscar's question: "Oh, Alice, you didn't tell everyone?"
Alice coughed, patted Ashley on the shoulder, and introduced to the smiling family in front of her, mainly to Oscar, who had grown her mouth: "This, my good friend, the eighth grade sister of Johnson Middle School, the little blonde beauty of Italian descent, well......"
"Didn't you talk about chocolate just now, Oscar, forgot? Ashley's grandmother is a princess of the Ferrero family~ Well, princess is an adjective, this family ......"
"Oops~ I'm a little embarrassed to say it. ”
Ashley scratched her hair and smiled: "Grandma's Ferrero family founded the Ferrero Group, a family-owned business, which started in 1946 and is now the fourth largest chocolate manufacturer in the world after decades of development. ”
"As for these three Maseratis, hey, support national enterprises, we have some shares in Ferrari, and it is not easy to borrow three of its cars?"
Of course, Oscar shouted at these words, standing beside his wife, James sighed in his heart.
As an ordinary second-generation Chinese immigrant, compared to the life of his parents, he was able to become a history teacher at UCLA and marry an American blonde with a Juris Doctor from Harvard.
But now, compared to his daughter's achievements and facing the characters his daughter faced, James has felt that he is really old for a while......
"Wow, can you give me a Ferrari when you go back, or a Lamborghini? Also, isn't there a new product called Pagani recently......
"Wait until you're sixteen, come on, Ashley, let's get in the car. ”
Amid Oscar's shouting, James watched Alice pull her brother's ear and get into the back of a car with Sophie. Then Oscar and Hannah had one, and Alice naturally had to talk a lot about things with Ashley, and got on the third.
As soon as he got into the car, Ashley burst out laughing: "My dear, your brother is really funny, I can't help but want to tease him when he looks dumbfounded." ”
Alice rolled her eyes, "You're not going to take a fancy to that idiot, are you?"
Ashley laughed again, put her hand on Alice's shoulder, and kissed her on the cheek: "Of course not, I never make a move on a little boy." By the way, Alice, are you going to tell me how the rain is going in Los Angeles?"
Alice stretched lazily, opened the window, and felt the warm air in the sound of the Maserati's powerful motor: "So, your family must come up with the best food tonight, I have come all the way to wait for this feast." ”
With Ashley's full of promises, the three cars sped into the city of Milan at night, but of course they didn't really want to park in the city. After a half-week walk along the Beltway, a sprawling manor house is her home on a verdant plain in the south.
"Welcome, Alice. ”
At the gate of the manor, an old woman with silver hair dressed in a sophisticated outfit took the lead in an elegant and brisk step, preempting Ashley's parents and giving Alice an intimate veneer salute.
"Finally met the real person, in the past six months, I have often heard your name!"
"Hello, old lady Olaire, thank you very much for the car you sent, listen to Ashley, you like my movie very much?"
While Ashley's parents were greeting her own, Alice instantly glanced at the old woman who was over sixty years old. is worthy of being a princess of the consortium who has made a fortune for a long time, she not only takes care of her skin very properly, but also has a kind of aristocratic style with deep instinct in her gestures, not to mention that she is worthy of her daughter's identity and dresses elegantly, and a Chanel private customization can show her personal temperament.
"My film was released in Italy so quickly thanks to your operation. ”
While walking towards the manor, after being told the process by Ashley on the way, Alice kept thanking the old lady Oleel: "When the movie was released in England, it was delayed for a while because of the classification problem, but I didn't expect that after arriving in Italy, the time was doubled. I was in China at the time, and after listening to Mr. Lawrence after returning to China, I was just a little strange, and I just sighed at the efficiency of your country's work, and it turned out that you were in charge. ”
The old woman of Olaire had been holding Alice's hand as soon as they met, and at this time, after listening to her evaluation of the efficiency of her country's work, she snorted disdainfully: "Without my intervention, those lazy men can work diligently?"
Alice stuck out her tongue quietly and gave the old woman a thumbs up inwardly.
