Chapter 17 Buying clothes becomes digging into the wall
At three o'clock in the afternoon in the summer, the sun is at its hottest, but Jun Huaifeng feels much better, because there is only one thing left for them to do, and there are obviously fewer people on the street - at this time, most people know that the cool and lively underground shopping malls or large shopping malls are the first choice for shopping. Luckily, Lin Xingquan is also not keen on continuing to shop without moderation. After leaving the Luo Ying coffee shop, the two went straight to TOP.
As a well-known international brand clothing design company, 2005 is only the second year that they have come to the mainland market. In fact, the top executives of this period are extremely arrogant, and they are not so acceptable to some countries and regions that have just risen, as well as some new concepts and designs, and they stubbornly believe that high-end things have no market in China, and denim is a material that is not at all high-grade raw materials.
And these concepts, even Lin Xingquan, who knows nothing about the fashion industry, thinks they are very old-fashioned and arrogant ideas.
But it is precisely because of this that TOP will completely fall to the bottom after a few years, and even collapse, so that Hope, who was originally only the chief designer of China, has become the new boss of the entire TOP in fact, and TOP has become a world-renowned brand completely based in China but focusing on high-end customized luxury clothing.
Hope at this age...... It is only the general manager of the so-called "mainland branch" -- whose design and philosophy are always limited by the decisions of the head office, and can only play a role that helps the company sell cheap things that are at the lowest end of the industry or even extremely bad in the industry, and it is very depressing to think - it can even be said that he is now in the stage of enduring humiliation.
Lin Xingquan doesn't even know if he has opened a private custom project now.
But she's ready - whether TOP has opened this private custom project or not, she has to persuade Hope to do it.
It's just that when they came to the front of the TOP store, they could hardly believe their eyes.
Is this really the China branch of TOP!? Although they first came in 2007, they ...... It's shabby! Two years, the difference is too big!
"Is it really here?" Lin Xingquan looked at the simple signboard that could only be described as "black on white", as well as the various backward styles of the window N years ago - what's worse is that those are all clothes with defective designs, and he couldn't even laugh: "It's too nostalgic, I'm such a low...... I can't accept these things. β
"Originally, the headquarters of TOP was a group of guys who were blind and arrogant after their careers. That's what China's TOP stores look like. Jun Huaifeng said lightly, "Let's go in." β
Walking into the store, Lin Xingquan found that in addition to selling ready-to-wear, there were also fabrics and design and cutting tools displayed behind the counter.
Hope was standing at the counter, this man who had just arrived and stood up, was frowning at the moment, and when he saw Jun Huaifeng, his expression was soothed.
"Teacher Jun, it's really rare, is this?"
"This is my sister Lin Xingquan."
Lin Xingquan was a little surprised: "You know each other?" β
"I used to be a teaching assistant at Dongmei, and Mr. Jun and I are university alumni." Hope sighed with emotion, "Mr. Jun has helped me with a lot of things, and I am really grateful." It's justβ" he smiled embarrassedly, "and now the cause is just beginning......
"It takes time for any behemoth to grow." Jun Huaifeng interrupted him, "You can do your own thing." After a pause, he said, "Last time you helped my mother make the spring clothes, my mother liked it very much, so she will take the time to come and see it." That's when you're going to get more investment, I'm sure. β
Lin Xingquan suddenly realized.
In her previous life, when Junhui brought her to come for the first time, it was 2008, and Junhui only told her that Hope was a very good designer, and most of Junhui and Jun Huaifeng's clothes were designed and made by him, and it was precisely because of Junyue's investment that China's TOP officially established itself in 2003, and then slowly developed and expanded.
At that time, Lin Xingquan thought that Jun Hui's eyes were like torches and predicted Hope's energy, but he didn't expect it to be Jun Huaifeng's idea.
But if you think about it, you know, looking at it like this, it is obviously Jun Huaifeng's style, give you a chance, and then let you fend for yourself. So TOP has not developed much in the past two years. If Jun Hui had made a decision, it would definitely not have been like this.
And Jun Huaifeng's personality ...... Can it really be completely changed?
You have to think more about him......
"She likes denim clothes, especially cool colors, so you can get her some."
"Cool tones?" Hope looked at Lin Xingquan carefully, "This, she is relatively young now, and she is relatively thin, and she is probably too depressed to wear cold colors." β
"But she's not a good fit for a color that's too out-of-the-box. IMHO, she wears black best. β
Hope frowned.
"Why don't you try something warm and made of other materials? Such a skinny little girl, and then wearing a dark blue or even black dress, and it is also a denim...... If you really get stuck in the crowd, you will be completely ignored. β
"She doesn't want to be a model, so what does it matter if she ignores it or not, I think it's okay to look good."
ββIs it a peach blossom in disguise? Lin Xingquan was a little speechless. Although she almost thought so.
Hope couldn't help but spread his hands, but he couldn't say anything--he was not a man with an artist's temper, but he knew that Jun Huaifeng was a typical artist's temper, so he had to say, "Okay, let's measure it." β
"Wait." Lin Xingquan suddenly asked, "Now, is denim clothing still considered your private business?" In her impression, Hope seemed to have said that it was not until 2006, when TOP China became a joke in the circle, that the top management nodded and gave Hope more room to play.
Hope gave her a stunned look before nodding heavily.
"Actually, good denim is quite expensive, but the corporate headquarters, you know. They now don't even allow denim designs to use the TOP trademark. When Hope mentioned this kind of thing, he seemed to have become numb, just smiling, and he couldn't see a trace of sadness that he should have.
"So, if you believe me, you're ready to design a batch of mid-to-high-end denim garments right now. And, don't do things at TOP, come to Grand Hyatt. Lin Xingquan said.
She just put down the thing of making clothes and turned it into digging the foot of the wall?
But Hope didn't take it to heart - this girl didn't know where Jun Huaifeng dug up the "sister", and she was so young, even if she was really Jun Huaifeng's own sister, she couldn't be the master in Junyue.
So he just smiled: "Then how much salary do you give me, little sister." β
"At present, the annual salary can be 120,000, and there will definitely be higher in the future."
This time, it was Jun Huaifeng who spoke.
Hope couldn't help but be stunned.
