209 It's up to you how it ends (5)

"It's really her." Fu Zhan put away his phone, angry and funny, "Sally, this kid is really naughty, it's time to spank." ”

His tone was gentle, and he seemed to be a little pampered, but Qiao Yun would not be deceived by him, she had the urge to throw something at Fu Zhan, but she endured it, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"The news must not continue to be posted, just let her try to eliminate the impact - what you do to Tan Yu, I will do to her." Fu Zhan no longer has the same tolerance as before, and there is a deep meaning in his words - Sally can send news out, maybe it's because he didn't remember to say hello, but then again, the cause of this incident is not Tan Yu and her?

However, his temper was still good, and Qiao Yun stopped saying a word, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect her to be so willful-her father is at a critical moment now, and he is too bold to make trouble for me at this time." ”

Indeed, speaking of which, there will be a change of office in a few months, and at this time, the Liu family will definitely try to avoid making enemies. Fu Zhan called Liu Mingqi or her mother, I'm afraid Sally won't even be able to stay in New York - although Mrs. Liu went to the UK to accompany her daughter, she has been dragging out not to divorce, and she must still be concerned about her husband's career, Qiao Yun thought of Sally, a good hand of cards played like this, and her heart was a little depressed: such a person is not worth her hands to tear at all, and if her subordinates make a phone call, she will not have a good life. It's like Judy, with a little command, naturally someone will make her life difficult. People have a certain status and status, and if they want to tear up, they have to find an opponent with a comparable status, otherwise they are just boring, and they will even feel stupid to worry about them.

- But, even thinking about it, when she thought about what Sally had done without knowing the sky, she still couldn't get angry. "It's really thanks to her, oh, without her spilling checks, this news can be in the New York Times? It's also thanks to her, if it weren't for a Chinese, she wouldn't even be able to write a report. ”

Fu Zhan smiled slightly, "When the news is launched, there are always variables, you should be glad that this is sally, if you change an unsatisfied customer to find someone to do, you can't even find someone, how can it be so easy to control the impact?" ”

The two of them pushed each other's pots, and there was a hidden quarrel in the chat, and the account was really over if they had to calculate it carefully - Qiao Yun was very skeptical now, how did Sally notice her brand at that time, and whether Fu Zhan was playing with it again, if it weren't for this, it wouldn't be so easy for him to enter the company.

However, having said that, without him, with Brother Qing and her, it would be impossible for the company to be formalized so quickly, let alone get Mandy's appreciation, and then be introduced to Kevin, Fu Zhan is like a lubricant, which does not play a key role, but it is also indispensable. The fight that hurt the feelings was still not too noisy, Qiao Yun finally gave up the idea of getting angry from him, and said deflated, "You like to raise the bar." Now how to control the impact? Will she set fires and know how to put them out? If you send out a photo, you really can't delete it. Finally, the domestic turmoil is almost over, and the foreign heat is hot, and the domestic heat is driving up again - very good, now it can't get Tan Yu to put out the fire without putting a big news. ”

"At least the deeper damage can be recovered immediately - the puppeteer's people contacted me this morning to say that someone had placed an order to lead the remarks against us, asking if we should buy a package to protect our reputation. They are still in the docking stage, and the other party has not paid the deposit yet - you see, they are almost about to place an order, and this news would have made a bigger fuss. Fu Zhanyang raised his mobile phone, still looking relaxed, as if talking to himself. The money to buy a package should be called sally. ”

As soon as this news was delivered to the Liu family, it would be strange if the family revolution did not break out, if Sally's Uncle Liu cut off her financial aid in the short term, wouldn't Sally have to live on her own small coffers? Even the last bit of money has to be poached, and she is severely punished. When his target was not herself, Qiao Yun actually liked the feeling of standing with Fu Zhan, but she didn't show it, she only hummed, "Buy a package?" What's the use of buying a package, it's not aimed at the public - what does the public care about, across the ocean, it's hard to say whether you can read the report or not, according to the current heat, it is impossible to notice it even if you don't make any redemption. But she, even bought the news, and she didn't publicize it in the party, right? But, over there, there are more handles. - It's a pity that Cece and the others are in London now, otherwise we would have received the news sooner. ”

She is in a bad mood, which is easy to see - she says that she doesn't care about the result, but she is also afraid that she will not be able to go to Paris Fashion Week for such an idiotic reason, Fu Zhan understands in his heart: if it is just to make news in China, "Voyage" Paris can also pretend to be deaf and dumb, but now that the situation has risen to the entire English-language media, then the whole thing is completely different. After all, she is not a designer who was born as a model, and what the model wears is not up to them, in order to sell clothes to do this, she has been pretending to be two-faced for a long time to guide public opinion, which may cause a completely different style of criticism. I'm afraid that after the evaluation of "Voyage" in Paris, I still decided that I didn't want to take the risk, so ...... Qiao Yun is equivalent to moving a stone to hit her own feet, and she has killed herself.

"Ga is already difficult to deal with, and it's not bad for one more handle." He didn't comfort Qiao Yun, but put pressure on him, "The sales growth in the new season this year is not as expected, and it will definitely be used as a handle during negotiations, especially when the growth of CY is so eye-catching, it will inevitably be said to be blood sucking." ”

If you come out to mix, you have to lose, but not to Fu Zhan, but to Sally, which she really can't accept, and in a trance she will feel that she is more stupid than Sally. Qiao Yun was impetuous, mainly angry about this, if she was really taken advantage of by Kevin because of this, she would really vomit blood if she took a bigger bite from her cy. "It's just that the growth is not as expected, there can be many reasons, how can it be related to CY? It could also be a mistake in the forecast - the Chinese market, what do they know? ”

She replied impetuously, and her tone was not good, Fu Zhan smiled, "More than a dozen brands under their group have sales in China, and our growth in previous years has been several times, and this season has fallen sharply, and Kevin must have something to say." ”

This matter has nothing to do with Sally, but Qiao Yun is still annoyed: If you can go to Paris, you don't care about it, Kevin will take a few less digs in the potential of [Yun]. If the development of [rhyme] is hindered, and there are more times when he bows to him, the capitalist's appearance will not be too good-looking. "Then I don't care, this time, you and him have a good tear, aren't you seniors? With a little personal friendship, our bottom line is 11% anyway, and there is nothing more. ”

"I'll go to Paris for you, and you can go to New York to negotiate?" Fu Zhan asked in a friendly manner, and was met with a few rolls of eyes, then leaned back in the chair, and asked seriously, "What did Sophie say over there?" Have you talked to her? ”

"I've been vague and haven't asked about sales changes."

Externally, [Yun] of course every season is soldout, this kind of limited supply, hunger marketing techniques, is not uncommon for merchants, and internally, of course, it is cold and warm self-aware - however, the sales of this season of Yun can not be said to be out of reach anyway, and there is still an increase compared with the previous season, as for not as expected, it is only because the previous growth rate is too fast, which is also the reason why Qiao Yun is still idle to be angry about the little black swan incident abroad - if the domestic market is affected, it is the backyard on fire, It doesn't matter what you're doing abroad, you don't dare to go to Paris to open the show, so you have to save the scene in China.

Fortunately, as she expected, this kind of news is harmless at all, and even in the long run, it can even more hype up the brand, after all, what the demon does is not illegal, and it is not unacceptable to consumers who generally have no moral cleanliness. The domestic market is immature and immature, most consumers have not yet reached the level of picking brand value, as long as they continue to be the only choice in the market, who will really care about the news of designers?

As long as Sophie has communication*, whether it is asking about sales, or asking why she is doing this, and giving her a chance to explain, Qiao Yun is confident that she can convince her, but helplessly, Sophie has a closed posture, only saying that this matter has to be decided by the headquarters now, and she is not too attentive, and she doesn't even dare to listen to her tone frequently, so as not to leave an impression of snobbery.

I didn't stay in New York to socialize, I didn't go to Paris, I didn't have reliable connections, and now I can't even listen to the direction of the wind over there, and I have to save face with the outside world and don't take the initiative to ask - this kind of thing is that you will lose if you care, Qiao Yun was bored and walked around, and couldn't help complaining, "I thought I could really be detached - isn't it the same worry?" ”

Even if it's a game, it's as emotional as playing it, she swallowed half a sentence, and Fu Zhan's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, feeling his somewhat playful observation attitude, Qiao Yun's heart was fixed: Maybe this line of work is like this, designers always have to fight against all kinds of emotions, just like walking on a tightrope full of flowers, waving vanity with his left hand, and waving money with his right hand, it really responds to the saying, put down the sword in your hand, you can't protect the burning dream in your heart, but holding the sword, it's difficult to hold you tightly. All of them, where it is a game, can be easily crossed.

This struggle is destined to last forever, this torment and anxiety are also part of the game, and from another point of view, she enjoys it, "Forget it, this Paris, love will not go." ”

Standing up and carrying his bag to leave, Fu Zhan asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Didn't I come to you just for Sally?" As soon as Qiao Yun saw the report, she was suspicious of her, and called Fu Zhan to come over, and sure enough, as soon as the text message was sent, she didn't confess herself. Qiao Yun picked up the bag, "You said that you would leave the rest to you, let's go, why don't you go." ”

Fu Zhan just sat there laughing, seeing enough of the excitement, and waited until she walked to the door before stopping her, "Okay, don't you just want to know the reaction from New York?" I'll help you ask if it's okay? ”

Qiao Yun's anxiety is anxiety here, she wants to know but doesn't dare to ask, she has to be big for Fu Zhan, it's not good to ask him to ask, now Fu Zhan took the initiative to mention it, she felt like a small insect crawling in her heart, but she was still close to homesickness, and she didn't want to know anymore - I don't know if I can escape it, if this matter really surprises the friends over there, she ...... in her heart This is not the same as the last time she was looked down upon, no matter how she guided public opinion, she actually felt that she was wrong, so she was extremely sensitive to the judgment of others.

She stood by the door and wanted to leave, Fu Zhan looked at it, and smiled with a sense of superiority, as if he knew some secrets she didn't understand, but he didn't say anything, he pressed his hand down comfortingly, "This will help you ask." ”

"Who are you asking?" Qiao Yun looked at him coldly, "Don't get the news, but it will be used as a laughing stock." ”

Fu Zhan has been to New York several times to deal with litigation matters, but like Qiao Yun, calling friends he knows over there is tantamount to startling the snake, even if he didn't notice it there, he will gossip about it, of course, this nervous and ugly state will be ridiculed at the party as a talking point ten out of ten.

Fu Zhan nodded nonchalantly while dialing, and when the call was connected, he said softly, "Hey, sally-"

There was a burst of crying and panting on the other side of the phone, and Sally looked like she had just drowned, crying and explainingβ€”I had forgotten that he was in the business too, and I had heard that he wanted to withdraw his hand and do something else...... Qiao Yun pretended not to care, but in fact, she listened with her ears pricked up, Fu Zhan's voice was so gentle, "I know, you also made an unintentional mistake, and you want to make some trouble for Qiao Qiao, don't you?" It's not good for me to say it, last time I was in New York, I was a little fierce to you......"

Sally may really not expect that Fu Zhan would find her so quickly, smacking and matching, repentance and innocence are sincere, maybe it's just hot-blooded, and she did it without thinking about it. I don't know if she's careful, but she can see it in the hearts of high-level players, and it's really a princess temper who is too well protected. She also didn't suffer hardship, Fu Zhan coaxed a few words softly, she really thought that this matter was over, and actively made suggestions there, eliminated the impact, and poured beans into the bamboo tube of the feedback she received, Fu Zhan listened to it and was surprised, "Oh? Even him- wow, no, even she ......"

It was obvious that she was deliberately making a fuss and hanging her appetite, Qiao Yun was so angry that she stood up and wanted to leave, but Fu Zhan didn't leave her - she ran out of the office, and was stopped by the secretary after walking a few steps-"Mr. Qiao, Sophie from "Voyage" is going to come over for an interview in a whileβ€”β€”"

Gray paced back and sat down, Fu Zhan still had a little conscience, and after cooking the phone porridge, he didn't speak for a while, and then dialed the phone, "Hey, Mingqi......"

He seems to have a good relationship with the two daughters of the Liu family, and he said it politely with Liu Mingqi, but it is not simple, "The change of office is coming soon, and it is always ......not good to do things at this time."

No matter what, the traces of faction on Sally's body can't be erased, and when the bitter master comes to the door, Liu Mingqi's anger can be imagined, and he apologized and got angry on the other end of the phone, Fu Zhan was a good person again, and he cleaned up Sally neatly.

He used to let her and take care of her emotions everywhere, but now he is businesslike and wanton, her emotions are like a roller coaster, Fu Zhan quietly controls and runs up and down, Qiao Yun watched him sell after killing on the spot, pursed his lips and wanted to laugh, and felt that he couldn't let Fu Zhan be proud, so he reluctantly glared at him, Fu Zhan and Liu Mingqi whispered, hung up the phone for a long time, and didn't dare to hang her appetite anymore. "Don't miss a second - this matter has indeed spread in New York circles, listening to Sally, the editor-in-chief of the six major New York Miscellaneous Magazines, Samaridan's buyers, and even several senior designers have asked one after another. They can't be expected to be indifferent to the news, it seems. ”

The public can predict it, but the reaction of the niche can't predict it, Qiao Yun still had a little expectation that these masters who have eaten and seen before, and she didn't think that the situation was unexpectedly bad, she slumped in her chair, "Coco is going to be proud - it is estimated that it will be traded with this matter......"

Said it was an estimate, but it was actually a hope, Qiao Yun closed her eyes and thought for a while, muttering, "If not, let the lawyer hint at them." ”

So far, millions of dollars in litigation fees have been spent directly, and the loser has to bear the expenses of the other party. Choosing to settle out of court, at least to lose these litigation costs, the price of eliminating the impact is really a bit expensive, but it is also better than a complete bankruptcy of professional reputation, Qiao Yun can accept being seen as a madman, but he can't accept that he is excluded by the whole circle because of his excessive taste. She was in a lot of pain, and she was also very unhappy that Judy's breath was not finished in the end, "Ask Sally to pay us the lawyer's fees." ”

"Don't be so anxious and lose your temper, okay?" Fu Zhan was not affected by her mournful performance, and his tone was very relaxed, "I haven't finished yet-"

"Mr. Fu, the people from "Voyage" have come to the front desk." The intercom phone rang suddenly. Fu Zhan pressed the call button, "Please let her in", while saying to Qiao Yun, "I didn't say you, Miss Qiao, sometimes you are too naΓ―ve, what do you think the circle in New York thinks of you now?" I'm telling you, it doesn't necessarily sound the way you thinkβ€”"

Qiao Yun's appetite was hoisted high, and she wanted to punch Fu Zhan to vomit out her words, seeing that Sophie had already walked through the office area, she instinctively stood up, patted her shirt while looking over and waiting for the next step. Fu Zhan had a mysterious smile on his face, and he actually hung his appetite for a few more seconds dramatically, and then whispered a few words in her ear, "I didn't lie to you, even Sally was surprised......"

"Hi-" Although it was a long way off, Joe and her executives were already standing at the door of the office waving warmly, and Sophie also raised her hand with a perfect business smile, although she was still a little unconscious, or even in a trance. The roar of the editor-in-chief half an hour ago seems to be still echoing in my ears - "You are simply a hopeless fool!" ”

"Using a model to promote a national luxury brand β€” and a fast-rising alternative to affordable luxury β€” has created a nearly billion-dollar business in four years. And what do you care about is the aesthetics of those photos before she became famous? ”

Even over the phone, the editor-in-chief's anger burned over, making Sophie feel useless and stupid for a moment, and she muttered, "It's ......"

"Do you know what that means? This means that her success is not based on luck, but on her accurate judgment of the market – she knows what kind of vulgarity her market needs, and this is exactly the precious talent that 99% of designers need! Sophia, you really disappointed me, you didn't realize that for the whole market, design talent is just consumables, what we need, what we need is always sales, sales, sales, profits, profits, profits! The editor-in-chief was angry, and his English had a strong French accent, "What we need is marketing that can spread the word about high-end products – and there is no doubt that this girl is a genius at this!" If she was just the lucky one who happened to catch up with the changes in the market, and happened to meet Coco, that itgirl, and achieve each other with her, I would never talk to you like this, but don't you understand? As she said on the catwalk, she changed the market! It's not that she met the market, it's the market that meets her! ”

"You're there, God, you're on the spot among all, and you've waited for more than a week without telling me until I read it in a New York magazine. What are you worried about? Am I going to refuse her to come to Paris and not hold a fashion show for her? I'm worried about what consumers, those forgetful, manipulated groups think of her? ”

Is it because she is in China and is infected by the atmosphere, so she is worried about the details that are not a problem at all? Or is it a top figure like the editor-in-chief, who looks at the problem from a completely different angle than her? The conclusions drawn are also completely different, the so-called 'integrity' she values is not as accurate as Joe's judgment of the market in the eyes of the editor-in-chief? Sophie was completely stunned, and one explosive news after another bombarded her with more than she could come back to her senses.

"Do you know that because of your procrastination, how many people do we have to compete with for her four debuts now? Petit just called me and he saw the news – he asked me to promise to bring her to Paris, and you know our fashion Mondays have always been more of a couture stage, and the business has been shrinking since '08. Oh, I can almost imagine Amy's expression after seeing the report, a designer who is also a model and an itgirl, personally sold her clothes into a best-selling brand in three years, and used two identities to carry out unprecedented creative marketing, cultivating the local luxury market out of nothing? Voyage New York definitely doesn't want to miss out on such a designer, do you know what such a marketing talent and such a marketing case mean to us? Fashion shows are cheap, marketing is eternal! ”

The director, who has seen many creative shows and witnessed many brands with stunning designs fall due to lack of creativity, was obviously so angry because of her stupid performance that she roared for a long time before she barely came to her senses, and said on the phone, "Invite her to Paris immediately!" ”

"I don't know who broke the news, maybe it's her enemy - if that's the case, she must be very sorry now, it's all about building momentum for her! Such an exaggerated marketing success story is bound to cause a sensation, and someone in New York will definitely call her, and more people in that money city will go crazy about her marketing case - but we have a base for cooperation, and now it's late at night in New York, and our decisions are faster than theirs. Before those more mercenary bitches call, I want you to get the invitation done, and the show must be opened in Paris from now on! ”

After being yelled at for hours, Sophie's ears are still buzzing, she seems to be drunk, her steps are a little vain, and she is faintly worried in surprise - the editor-in-chief is conclusive, concluding that someone in New York must call to 'poach', and her hesitation has long been captured by Joe, who hesitated first, in fact, has lost her priority, what if someone has already called, and Joe has already negotiated with the other party, what should I do? Returning to Paris with this bad news, she will have a good time for the rest of her life.

Seeing that the smiles on Joe and David's faces didn't seem to change, she relaxed a little, shook hands and took out a voice recorder - she came here today to complete the interview with the characters she had put off again and again, and she was a little reluctant to finalize today, because it also meant that she had to give a reply today, and she couldn't delay it any longer. And now she's glad she's scheduled her date at this time, so she doesn't have to rack her brains to excuse it early.

"By the way, about the itinerary in Paris." Sophie wanted to settle the matter as if it had never been a constant. "Joe, do you want to fly with me, or do you want to join me later? I just spoke to the editor-in-chief on the phone, and she's impressed with your rookie and would love to ...... early See you ......."

This statement means that the editor-in-chief doesn't mind the identity turmoil, and Sophie's tone gradually becomes weaker in the end: Joe seems to be a little tired and reacts slower than usual, but David has a meaningful and subtle smile on his face.

"Oh, about it."

He glanced at Joe with a smile and a proper apology, "That's right, just now, we've received a call, and the response to the show in New York seems to be strongβ€”Yvon just called in person and invited Joe to come over and be a guest lecturer at Parsons, and to host her first big four fashion shows in New York......"

β€œyvonοΌŸβ€ Sophie subconsciously repeated.

β€œay。” It was Joe who answered her, and she still had a somewhat unrelievable expression on her face, "AY from Parsons, he'sβ€”"

She swallowed it in again, apparently changing her words, which provoked an interesting glance from David, "I mean, if...... When I accepted Parsons' offer, he ...... It's going to be my mentor at Parsons......" 166 Reading Network
