Chapter 259: Fashion Party

"Hello, I want to discuss cooperation with you." After seeing Laura being pulled away by her sister Tang Xin, Tang Cheng was able to speak fluently.

Although Tang Xin is very naughty, he is still kind to him. Although you always complain about me, I still bought you a car.

Well, Porsche, I'll buy you a smaller one, it's just a Beetle, it looks about the same anyway.

You're such a small person, it should be very suitable to use it. Alas, I'm still so soft-hearted, it's so kind.

"Well, aren't you in the business of ice wine, but I'm a ranch, you should know, Stone Ranch." Shi Lei asked a little strangely.

"Yes, I know that Stone Ranch is now an important supplier of high-end ingredients and the most popular brand in the food industry in recent years. But what I came to you to talk about is about wine.

I'm from the Niagara Peninsula in Ontario, Canada, which is known to be the best place to produce icewine. My winery is located in the town of Lake Nigara, a typical wine country. ”

When he said this, Tang Cheng's words were inevitably a little proud. Shi Lei can fully understand this feeling, so he continues to listen noncommittally.

"Uh, sorry I digressed. I mean our family is one of the largest producers of wine grapes in the region, and I want to work with them in the field of viticulture.

As far as I know, both Liuli Winery and Wuyun Winery have applied new wine grape cultivation techniques. And judging by the results of the two wineries today, these techniques must have been successful.

So I would love to introduce these technologies to further improve the yield and quality of my grapes. Tang Cheng said sincerely.

"Well, I appreciate your hard work, but shouldn't you go directly to McRae and Xu Xiaoxiao to discuss cooperation? Technology isn't mine. Shi Lei replied a little strangely.

"I contacted both of them, and they both said they had to get your approval. So I'm going to come to you first. Tang Cheng spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Hehe, what can I say about this. Just say I agree. You can just go and talk to them. Also, it's a pleasure to meet your compatriot. Shi Lei smiled and shook hands with Tang Cheng.

"Ugh. I didn't expect you to say yes so easily. Thank you. Also nice to meet you.

Also, now that we've met you, we can start talking about another collaboration, this time about Stone Ranch.

Not only does our family have the largest ice wine winery in the area, but it's normal that we also run one of the largest restaurants in the area.

You know, the Niagara Peninsula has always been a tourist hotspot, so business is pretty good. Now is the time when Stone Ranch has the highest recognition of various ingredients. A lot of customers ask for it by name, so I'm coming to you. ”

Tang Cheng explained his other purpose very frankly, his name is really not wrong, and it matches his personality very well.

This is too easy for Shi Lei to say, after having the Fox River Ranch, the yield of beef has not increased a little bit. There are still a lot of beef cattle on the side of the stone pasture, so these production is still relatively sufficient.

Of course, there will certainly be no surplus every year, it's just a matter of whether more will flow into high-end restaurants or into the high-end market.

After ending this red wine conference that is destined to be fruitful, Shi Lei's life is temporarily back on track. Every day is a few things I like, practicing boxing. Gun practice and parkour.

Of course, it is necessary to modify the newborn livestock cubs in the pasture from time to time to ensure that they can grow according to Shi Lei's ideas.

On the contrary, Laura has been busy lately, as the custom dresses she has made for several celebrities have achieved great results. They went back and preached. Several more female celebrities have come to Laura to place orders.

Their goals are relatively the same, and they are all about making a stunning appearance at this year's Metball, the Metropolitan Museum of Art charity ball in New York.

Because the main body of this year's ball is "The Mirror of the Porcelain Country", many stars naturally hope to appear on the scene in dresses with Chinese elements, which can not only better fit the question, but also highlight their differences.

And Laura, a cutting-edge designer who is good at combining Chinese and Western design, is of course a good choice.

As the biggest name in the fashion industry, Ms. Diane, Galeries Lafayette and the female devil wearing Prada, as the host of this ball, the queen Anna? Wintour. All of them praised Laura, and I think Laura must be very level.

And several female stars have a positive attitude after seeing Laura's works. Of course, other actresses can let go of their worries and boldly find a new talent like Laura. It's a different style.

Fortunately, Laura has traveled with Shi Lei a few times before, and the accumulated inspiration is still very rich. At this time, the combination of their respective works for each actress is very good.

For the control of Chinese elements, Laura now has her own experience, and the designed works have their own elegant and noble style.

Of course, the two horses on the ranch have not been forgotten, and since returning from Dubai, Elton and his two horses have been training non-stop at Prince, trying to maintain their own form.

Of course, at Shi Lei's request, Prince's side has always kept the training of the two horses secret. After all, the two horses are now one of the focus of attention of their opponents, and there is no telling how many searching eyes there are around. Shi Lei didn't want his low-key plan to make gambling money go to waste.

Prince, who also tasted the sweetness of the last Breeders' Cup, certainly understands this. Although he doesn't have as much confidence in the two horses as Shi Lei, he knows that the more low-key the situation, the more likely it is to achieve greater returns, and he is happy to keep it a secret.

After Laura was busy, her work was finally freshly baked, and the actresses happily wore it and went back to make final preparations with confidence.

And Laura also has to prepare for this year's Metball, because she was invited by the organizer V Magazine, it is said that the queen Anna? Wintour invited Laura to the ball.

Although the single ticket to this dance party is worth as much as 25,000 US dollars, and it does not have a certain popularity, you will not sell it to you. Even so, it is very rare for an admission ticket to be circulated in the market. Because more tickets are given to big brands like Ralph Lauren, and designers that the organizers are optimistic about.

Of course, the former requires a high price to reserve all the seats at the next table, while the latter is distributed free of charge by the organizers. Laura certainly falls into the latter case. Who made the final boss of this matter the queen who is very optimistic about Laura.

Of course, Laura has to prepare a new dress for herself, and she also has to prepare a dress for Shi Lei. Because it's clear that Laura's male partner will choose her husband. Is it a more eye-catching thing for this husband and wife to attend together?

Before the dance began, the two brought their own equipment to New York together, and of course, they also rented a luxury RV in advance as a car for their red carpet show.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of such high-end luxury car rental companies in New York, otherwise the two may not be able to rent a suitable car at such a time.

Ball is the most grand party in the fashion industry, and the red carpet part of the annual charity gala is known as the "Oscars of the fashion industry", so you can imagine how many stars will attend such a party.

When Laura and Shi Lei arrived, of course, they walked the red carpet for a while, and Laura enjoyed no worse treatment than popular Hollywood stars. Lately, she has become a regular visitor to various fashion magazines.

A collection of leather goods designed by Laura has been sold out of stock in one of Ms. Diane's many DVF stores. Although the price of this series of works is higher than that of many luxury brands specializing in leather goods, it still can't stop customers from buying enthusiasm. Because of the success of Laura's design, but also because of the uniqueness of the leather.

And Laura's custom dress designed for actress Nicole also achieved sensational results, making Nicole shine on several red carpet shows. Laura herself won the Best Dressed Award at a world-renowned event such as the Dubai Horse Racing World Cup.

All these things have made Laura constantly appear in major fashion media. So this time on the red carpet catwalk, Laura enjoyed the treatment of a big name, and many flashes almost dazzled Shi Lei's eyes.

Thankfully, both have adapted to the spotlight. Not only has walking on the red carpet become much calmer, but you can also pose very calmly and calmly when facing the camera.

Of course, the two didn't stay on the red carpet for too long, and there were many celebrities waiting to come forward to show their style. After the two responded to the reporters, they walked towards the venue.

And of course, there will be no silence on the red carpet, and from time to time there are big names that will mobilize the adrenaline of the reporters present, making them excited to keep the murder film.

Since this year's main focus is on Chinese elements, the number of stars who came to participate in this dance party is the most ever.

Regardless of whether they are invited or not, at this time, of course, all well-known domestic stars cannot be absent, or wouldn't they seem to be timid.

Of course, there are very few domestic male stars who are present in such fashion, after all, men in such places do not have much room to play.

Shi Lei and the others entered the venue and found their place to sit down, surrounded by cutting-edge designers who were more recognized by the Queen. Laura and they exchanged their design ideas and experiences, and they were very good to talk about.

Shi Lei also found that it may have been to highlight today's Chinese elements. At the table they were at alone, there were four other Chinese designers present. Of course, they are also some Tang designers who are well known to people who are more concerned about fashion in China.

However, Shi Lei didn't know much about them, he was just proud to see so many compatriots in such a place.

Shi Lei also noted. As the organizer of this time, Anna? Wintour has already come to the scene, after all, she is the most **oss of this event.

At this time she was accompanying her good friend. Stylish Galeries Lafayette Carl? Lagerfeld and Lady Diane were chatting together.

After Shi Lei signaled Laura, Laura naturally stood up and took Shi Lei to the place where the three fashion bigwigs gathered. (To be continued) R640
