Chapter 54: Believe Me
In the afternoon, Huo Xinlan changed her clothes, took me to a nearby bank, and withdrew a full million in cash.
When she came out, I was driving her Ferrari, and she sat in the passenger seat, looking at the big box of money in her arms, and asked me what the hell was I going to do?
I said do you know the design conference in the circle, which is held once every three months, with an admission fee of 500,000 yuan, which brings together top designers from all over the country, and many material suppliers and large customers like to choose partners in it, which is a magical place full of suspense, excitement and uncertainty, and it is also a place where we can get rich overnight.
Huo Xinlan heard it in a fog, what about the design conference, why have I never heard of it?
I laughed and said it's normal that you don't know, because you're not a designer, you're just the owner of a company, and every craft actually has its own upper circle, and we fashion designers are no exception.
I remember that there were two times when my works got a very high ranking at the conference, and after the end, more than a dozen major customers rushed to cooperate with me, which directly swelled the strength of my company several times and rose overnight.
Of course, there is a certain risk in this conference, first of all, the admission fee is as high as 500,000 yuan, and secondly, there is an unwritten rule that if you want to put your own work on the shelves, you must first buy a work of others, the purpose of this is to let everyone who comes to the museum have something to gain, and will not go home empty-handed.
In fact, this buying other people's works, to put it bluntly, is a gamble, if you have a good vision and buy a good design drawing, you can not only return to the cost, but also develop into your own brand and make a lot of money; But if you have a poor vision and buy a garbage design drawing, then not only will the money be blind, but you will also lose money if you take it back and make a finished product, and the sales will not be good.
Therefore, this conference is a great test of the designer's vision, success is also it, defeat is also it, full of gambling.
After driving for more than an hour, I came to the city center with Huo Xinlan, and stopped next to a commercial building, the building is more than 30 floors, and there is a neon sign inlaid on the front, with the book "Design Flow, Cloud Kyushu" eight big characters, the meaning is very simple, everyone is born to wear clothes, so clothing designers are very popular everywhere, sometimes just a style of clothes, it is possible to be popular all over the country, and even the world, so it is not an exaggeration to summarize the words "Cloud Kyushu".
When I came out of the parking lot, I carried money in my left hand and a black paper bag in my right hand, which contained three process drafts of the design drawings, and then boarded the building with Huo Xinlan, and paid 500,000 yuan at the entrance of the first floor.
In fact, with my strength, the quality of each design drawing is about the same, and there is no entanglement, take out two of them, put them in the guest column, for those customers and large manufacturers to buy, and the remaining one is placed in the mall column for designers like us who sell pictures to buy.
One thing I like very much about the design conference is that whether it is a picture bought or a picture sold, it needs to be clearly bid, and the one with the highest price will get it, which is also specially designed by the conference in order to increase excitement and suspense.
Huo Xinlan may not have even heard of such a conference, and felt very fresh about everything, two staff members led us to a hall, which had more than a dozen large screens, and on the screen was a mall interface, divided into dozens of grids, each grid had a design drawing, which used 3D intelligence to display the design process, selling highlights, and the fit with which fabric, etc.
Three-point design drawings, in addition to two copies that I have been idle in the past year, casually drawn, and one is rushed out in recent days, it is the draft of the hip-hop costume, I originally wanted to use it myself, but the customer has run away, there is no supply, and the design drawing has become a decoration, so I simply took it.
Huo Xinlan held a remote control in his hand and said that if we fancy a design drawing on the screen, we only need to enter the price in order, right?
I hummed, said that after entering the price, if no one bids higher than us, the next day the picture will belong to us, as for the two copies sold, it will take a certain amount of time, about three days, when there is a manufacturer to buy our drawing, or a customer sees the potential of our design drawing, will contact us, and then discuss cooperation.
Huo Xinlan asked me rhetorically, saying what if no one buys our picture?
I was silent for a while, and said that it would prove that my strength was not at home, and the entrance fee of 500,000 yuan was equivalent to a waste.
Huo Xinlan laughed and said that he didn't expect that the myth of the dignified design circle would have a day when he was not confident, could it be that there are so many powerful people here?
I nodded, saying that I think my strength is okay, but compared with the real master designer, there is still a certain distance, here Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, mixed fish eyes, people of all backgrounds, you must not casually conflict with people.
As I was talking, three people suddenly came in front of me, and I didn't pay attention, and I was hit hard by the leader and almost fell to the side.
I was about to have a seizure, but when I looked up and saw the appearance of these three people, my heart chuckled.
Oops.
