Chapter 43: A Narrow Encounter
"Come, let me introduce to you, this is the chairman of Bolton World Clothing." In the focused gaze of others, Designer Wu raised his voice slightly and said.
"It turned out to be the chairman! It's really better to see than to hear! As soon as Designer Wu's words fell, someone at Zhao Hongbing's table stood up to welcome.
"Then the chairman is really young and promising!" The guest who had just complimented Zhao Hongbing with the same words also stood up and greeted warmly at this time.
Even at the other table, many people said hello.
Na Weilin's gaze seemed to freeze when he saw Zhao Hongbing. Facing the people who greeted him, the corners of Na Weilin's mouth showed a decent smile, and he responded politely and generously to everyone.
"Boss Zhao, we'll meet again." After greeting Zhao Hongbing, Na Weilin sat down in the position next to Zhao Hongbing.
"Hehe, I didn't expect us to meet here." Zhao Hongbing also responded. The last time the two of them saw each other was at the beginning of the year.
But these people, it's really interesting to praise people, except for a sentence against their will "young and promising", can't they boast anything else?
"Boss Zhao's subordinate Ullis Clothing signed Tan Meimei as a brand spokesperson some time ago, which can be said to be a stroke of genius." Na Weilin smiled indifferently.
"Tan Meimei? Yuris? The elder who called Zhao Hongbing and Na Weilin 'young and promising' showed an extremely exaggerated look of surprise on his face at this time: "It turns out that Yuris is Boss Zhao's brand!"
Hello, hello, I am the marketing director of Barcelona women's clothing, Boss Zhao, your Ulis clothing is a dark horse that has emerged this year for our Yangcheng clothing brand. ”
In the face of such an enthusiastic "Barcelona Marketing Director", Zhao Hongbing had to humbly say a few kind words. And right next to him, there was a hint of displeasure on the face of Wu Da Designer.
"Boss Zhao turned out to be the founder of Uuris Clothing." Designer Wu snorted, the beard on his chin shook, and said, "Why do I seem to have heard that Boss Zhao's Yuris clothing is dealing in light fashion products?" ”
As soon as the words of this sentence fell, in the hall, the voices of everyone talking suddenly lowered, and the eyes of everyone present fell on Zhao Hongbing.
Opposite Zhao Hongbing, a female designer in her thirties wearing a classical white dress originally had a smile on her face, but when she heard Designer Wu's words, the eyebrows between her eyebrows were twisted.
And next to Zhao Hongbing, the corner of Na Weilin's mouth showed a smile.
"Miss Su, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to bring Boss Zhao to our party, right?" The woman in the white dress glanced at Zhao Hongbing, and her voice was faintly displeased.
Zhao Hongbing's face froze, and he also showed a hint of coldness. In fact, the words of the woman in the white dress faintly meant that Sang scolded Huai. The meaning is that Zhao Hongbing should not have come to this gathering at all.
His gaze glanced at Na Wei Lin, and his heart was stunned.
Although Yuris clothing has always operated in a "light fashion" way, it has never used "light fashion" as a selling point for its own promotion.
The concept of "light fashion", as the corporate culture and guidelines of Uuris Apparel, is only popular within the Uuris operation center. Even when the people at the headquarters conducted the induction training for the store managers, they did not mention this concept.
If there is anyone among the peers who knows that Ulris clothing operates according to light fashion, then this person is likely to come from Eddie clothing.
At the end of the day, there are too many things to do with each other. Just as Tong Xiang can often find out some inside information about Eddie Clothing, Eddie Clothing also has channels to inquire about the details of Uuris's clothing.
At this time, Miss Su glanced at Zhao Hongbing, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face. In fact, although she knew that Zhao Hongbing's Ulis brand was engaged in the retail business. However, it was the first time she had heard that the Ulris brand was operated in a light fashion way.
Zhao Hongbing glanced at the woman who fired at him inexplicably opposite, and his eyebrows were raised, he didn't seem to offend her by making light fashion products, right?
"Miss Su, the participants in our gathering are all original designers. It doesn't seem appropriate for you to invite Boss Zhao over, right? Next to the woman in the long skirt, another slightly chubby man also spoke out at this time.
Zhao Hongbing's face finally showed a hint of abruptness, so it was.
Before this gathering, Zhao Hongbing knew that this gathering was actually a gathering of the clothing fashion circle, and many of the people who participated in this gathering were designers in clothing.
The reason why these people are dissatisfied with Zhao Hongbing is precisely because they like to imitate the latest trendy products in the process of light fashion operation.
"Miss Su, didn't you say that the clothes worn by the women's clothing on the cover of an issue of your "First Fashion" magazine were designed by Boss Zhao?" The designer who helped the designer showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Boss Zhao, the style design of your set of clothes should not have been copied, right?" ”
Zhao Hongbing's face sank, the dress worn by Tan Meimei on the cover of "First Fashion" in June, although Zhao Hongbing borrowed from the fashion style and popular elements of the present and future generations, it was definitely not plagiarized.
These designers in front of him have formed a certain prejudice against him. Light fashion and some luxury brands have an inherent conflict of interest. Some luxury fashion brands hold fashion shows, and many products can take three months or even half a year before they can be put on the shelves before production.
However, some light fashion brands can put products of the same style or style on the shelves within two or three weeks of the fashion show.
In this case, the designers of these fashion luxury brands will more or less have little affection for light fashion. In fact, those foreign light fashion brands will pay tens of millions of dollars in copyright compensation to some high-end brands every year.
"This gentleman, whether my set of clothes were copied or not, Miss Su naturally has a final conclusion. Fellow designers naturally have a conclusion. ”
Zhao Hongbing snorted lightly and said, "If you think that the product I published in First Fashion magazine was copied, please find out the evidence." However, please don't talk about it and slander others. ”
The man who helped the man turned green all of a sudden. And the woman in the long skirt, a pair of beautiful eyebrows immediately stood up.
At this time, two delicate women wearing red cheongsams walked into the hall with trays in their hands.
"Okay, if you have any business, let's talk about it after dinner." With a hint of a smile on the corner of Miss Su's mouth, she said roundly.
Zhao Hongbing was also silent at this time, and now it seems that these "noble" fashion circle designers fundamentally look down on people like him who have just entered the circle. He was very aggrieved to attend this party.
He glanced at Miss Su and sat down to wait for the dinner to begin. If you leave the table now, it will be too ungraceful and ungraceful for Miss Su, Zhao Hongbing decided to find an excuse to leave immediately after eating.
At the dinner, the wine glasses collided, and some of Sven's colleagues also drank a lot.
Sitting next to Zhao Hongbing, Na Weilin seemed to be competing with Zhao Hongbing, and from time to time he toasted Zhao Hongbing with a glass of wine.
At the dinner table, few people chatted with Zhao Hongbing, only Na Weilin and Zhao Hongbing talked enthusiastically. The seemingly friendly conversation between the two is hidden from time to time.
Almost an hour later, the feast ended. When Zhao Hongbing was about to leave, there was a hint of a smile on Na Weilin's face.
"Boss Zhao, I don't want to leave now, do I?" Na Weilin looked at Zhao Hongbing and said with a smile: "I still have some things I want to ask Boss Zhao for advice!" ”
"Don't dare to be." Zhao Hongbing didn't bother to answer the other party's words, he stood up and said: "Na Dong is the industry elite in our industry, and it is right for me to ask Na Dong for advice." Sorry, I have some things to attend to in the evening, so I'll go first. ”
His eyes fell on Miss Su and said, "Miss Su, I have left in advance, thank you for the invitation, we will contact you again if you are free." ”
"Why is Boss Zhao in such a hurry?" At this time, Designer Wu rolled up his eyes like dead fish again: "Boss Zhao is in such a hurry to leave, should he be in a hurry to go home and modify the style of our domestic counterparts?" ”
Zhao Hongbing, who stood up, had a slightly cold expression on his face, and looked directly at Designer Wu.
