Chapter 121: Laymen and Insiders
"Luxury? Personal fashion brand? Mr. Joey's brows were furrowed, and he had an incredulous look on his face, perhaps because he was afraid that he would not be able to express himself clearly in Korean, and he had begun to dance in English. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You're kidding, right?
"I'm serious, Jessica, are you sure you're not kidding?
"With all due respect, I really can't see any 'design' in the things you design.
"Design? Raw materials? Feelings? A status symbol?
"Sorry, I don't really feel a little bit about your style and brand positioning?
"This, this, this...... I've only been in Korea for more than a day, and I've seen it on the street no less than 300 times.
"Simplicity? Retro? Street corner? Punk? Idyllic? Neuter? What are the design features? Or do you have a clear market position for the personal brand you want to set up - let's call it a personal brand for the time being?
"Aside from the price, I don't really feel like there's anything 'extravagant' about them."
Li Yiming's father's mouth was like a machine gun, completely ignoring Jessica's iron-blue face on the other side, and expressed his opinion in a straightforward manner - it was more sarcasm, from the tone to the expression, Joey almost wrote the three big words "look down" on his face.
"I really can't understand what kind of confidence you have to price the sunglasses you designed for yourself at 250 US dollars." He rolled his eyes, the banter at the corner of his mouth was obvious, and he even turned his head and said something in Chinese to Li Yiming, "Only two hundred and five will buy her sunglasses." ”
Li Yiming had been restraining his expression, and when he heard this, he immediately couldn't recognize it, and he laughed out loud, even if Zheng Xiujing on the other side glared at him, it was useless.
"I'm sorry, my dad told a joke, and I can't help it......" Seeing that Zheng Xiujing's sister was not good, he immediately restrained his smile, but his rising cheekbones couldn't sink at all.
"Is it funny?" As if to divert attention, or to vent her emotions, Jessica, who was blocked by Joey's poisonous snake and couldn't say a word for a long time, moved her gaze, and her tone was very indifferent, with her cold expression at the moment, it was obviously a sign of anger.
It is not comfortable for anyone to be so unceremoniously, unscrupulously pestering, and unreasonable and wanton evaluation by a stranger.
Yes, Li Yiming's father's behavior is really unqualified and polite to the extreme, who does he think he is? Just because he is an elder, can he make irresponsible remarks about things he doesn't know at all?
Jessica doesn't just think so, she says so.
"Uncle, your behavior is a bit excessive, isn't it? Maybe you think I'm talking a little heavier, but can you stop using some specious terms from hearsay and think that you know a lot about fashion, an industry that laymen don't understand? I think as a rookie designer who has put a lot of thought into fashion, even if there are still a lot of shortcomings, it is not as unbearable as you say, right? ”
She felt that she was already very polite, and in the face of the other party's aggressive attitude, if it weren't for the fact that he was Li Yiming's father, maybe the handbag would have smashed directly on his face.
Thinking of this, Jessica was even more annoyed, it was really difficult to understand people like Li Yiming, why did they have such a father, or did they both say that they were the same kind of people? She couldn't help but have a not very good impression of Li Yiming in her heart.
Who would have thought that Jessica's words that she thought were very moderate, actually angered Father Li, who was just chattering, and his face suddenly became gloomy, and his expression was originally just a joke, but now it has turned into a scorn.
"Layman? Hearsay? Opinionated? Joey was already laughing angrily, as if what Jessica had said was ridiculous, "I'm self-righteous, I'm a layman? Are you a rookie designer, an expert? ”
He deliberately bit the word "rookie designer" very hard.
"Or else?" Jessica seemed to have lost her patience as well, and glanced at the other party with disdain, as if she didn't want to communicate any more.
"Ha-" Joey relaxed, shrugged his shoulders, and said to himself, "It's me who is more serious, and I sincerely say my opinion, but I didn't expect to play the piano to the cow." ”
After finishing speaking, not only Jessica's face was not very good-looking, but even Zheng Xiujing on the side frowned, obviously feeling that Li Yiming's father's words were a bit excessive.
"Dad-" Seeing that the atmosphere on the table was a little tense, Li Yiming bumped his father's shoulder, "Say less, say less." ”
"What's missing?" Joey, who was Li Guoxing, turned his head and glared at him, "Didn't you listen to that Jessica?" I'm a layman, I'm self-righteous! I'm really ...... I felt a little angry to the point where I couldn't get angry. ”
"Stop!" Li Yiming stopped his father, who was very sensitive at the mention of fashion, turned around and apologized like Zheng Xiujing's sister: "I'm so sorry, my father...... It's this virtue that doesn't think much about other people's feelings and speaks too straight. ”
"It's okay," Jessica replied habitually, only then did she realize that Li Yiming's words were not quite right.
What does it mean to speak too straight? Does it mean that he still thinks that his father who is messing around is telling the truth?
She pulled the corners of her mouth without smiling, as if muttering to herself: "Sure enough, what kind of father has what kind of son." The voice was not small at all, and Li Yiming on the opposite side could obviously hear it.
Zheng Xiujing was also frowning, but listening to her sister's words, she couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder, "Ernie." ”
Although he also felt that Li Yiming's words were too partial, his sister's words already had a tendency to be personally attacked.
Jessica seemed to have just realized that her words were a little hurtful, and quickly covered her mouth and said apologetically: "Oh Mo, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that..."
Li Yiming smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was okay for him, but there was not much enthusiasm in his smile.
He has never been a person with high emotional intelligence, otherwise he would not have said things that were obviously biased in favor of his father in front of Sister Zheng Xiujing.
I don't feel that I am partial, because Joey actually makes a lot of sense, those designed photos of the finished product in Jessica's mobile phone, although he doesn't understand fashion, but he doesn't feel very "stylish" - it looks like the Korean design style that can be seen everywhere on the street, and the same design Li Yiming has seen a lot of shopping with Zheng Xiujing.
He doesn't think that such designs can match the price set by Jessica for them, and at the same price, Li Yiming can buy those well-known brands, whether it is value or grade, he can throw off these items a few streets.
There is a sentence that Li Yiming thinks is true, "There is no clear market positioning at all." ”
Far from the luxury sector, the design is not very impressive: at best, it is in the realm of fast fashion. In addition to the somewhat inflated price compared to its own value, Jessica's designs are more like fashion brands than luxury products in the high-end market.
"Xiuyan Xi is not wrong, I am very similar to my dad." Perhaps because he often called Zheng Xiujing's real name, he habitually called Jessica's real name.
"We are both virtuous people, and we will not allow others to do anything that we love and are good at." Li Yiming said casually: "I'm for basketball, and my dad is for fashion." ”
He looked at each other deeply, "My dad also spent a few years in the Olsen sisters' studio, and this is the first time someone has said that he is a 'fashion layman'." ”
Hearing this, Jessica was stunned, "Sister Olsen, which pair of Olsen sisters?" ”
"There should be no other Olson sisters in the famous celebrity transformation designers in the United States, right?" Li Yiming is serious, "Or Xiuyanxi, as a 'rookie designer', doesn't even know the Olsen sisters who hold the three brand lines of 'Olsenboye', 'Elizabeth &James', and 'The-Row'?" Coincidentally, they are also designers of star transformation. ”
Jessica's face is not very good-looking, as an idol who has always paid attention to fashion, how could she not know that this kind of experience is similar to herself, and her career is still very successful, "Of course she knows." ”
Of course, she heard the banter in Li Yiming's mouth, but she couldn't get angry.
The members of Sister Olson's personal studio were taught a lesson by such a person just now?
I also said that the other party is self-righteous, a layman, a layman, and doesn't know how to pretend to understand?
Ms. Jessica felt a little dizzy,
"Less gold on my face." Joey is now more modest, "I'm also a layman, and I went in for the position of exclusive photographer, and I worked for a while before I was further responsible for advertising design, so it's okay to be a layman." ”
The three words "layman" are particularly important.
"Alright, let's not talk about that." has already justified his father's name, Li Yiming doesn't want to continue to be sarcastic, "Xiuyan Xi, you tell me about your personal brand... If I'm not mistaken, it should be because I told Xiujing before that I plan to invest, right? ”
It took Jessica a moment to come to her senses and nodded abruptly.
"I'm sorry." Li Yiming smiled, "Because I have already started to invest in other things, I don't have enough funds to support me to cooperate with you in fashion brands for the time being." ”
"Why did OPPA say it now?" Zheng Xiujing pouted and asked, if he had made it clear earlier, he would not have brought his sister to him.
In fact, I don't want to have a relationship of interest between relatives and boyfriends, Zheng Xiujing feels that the relationship will inevitably deteriorate in that case, if it weren't for her sister to set up a brand, she really needs a sum of money, and she knows that she and Li Yiming are dating, and the other party is planning to invest recently, so she has been begging herself to arrange this meeting, otherwise Zheng Xiujing would not have introduced the two to each other so early.
Now it's okay, the investment is basically in vain, and my sister has been taught a lesson. Although she knew that it was not his fault, Zheng Xiujing still inevitably looked at him with a resentful face.
Li Yiming just sneered, "Isn't this here to surprise you." ”
"What's the ...... to surprise about"
"Because I'm a brokerage company."
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
The voices of the Zheng Xiujing sisters came together very tacitly.
Joey, by contrast, was very calm - Wang Xiaoming had already mentioned it to him.
