Chapter 462: The Absolute Focus of the Banquet Hall
"In the first half of this year, for example, Kering's sales fell by 25% year-on-year, and LVMH also fell by 15%, these are all data that have been published on the Internet, and I think you should be well aware of the current serious situation."
In this business negotiation, Wu Yue, President of LVMH Greater China, personally participated in the communication of the general framework of the cooperation, which can be said to be full of sincerity and face.
"Valentino, for example, is down a full 35 percentage points year-on-year, which is undoubtedly the worst contraction that the modern luxury industry has ever experienced, and I don't think we've ever seen such a thorough, one-sided negative situation."
Yan Jun nodded expressionlessly.
"Although LVMH recorded its lowest profit in the first half of the year, the fashion and leather goods division, including the fragrance division, in which its main brands LV and Dior are located, remain the most resilient segment of the group, and have already ushered in a recovery in the third quarter and will see a full recovery in the fourth quarter."
Due to the continuous impact of the epidemic, stores in most countries have been temporarily closed, and it is inevitable that the revenue of luxury goods will plummet, but Yan Jun actually does not care about the ups and downs of the LVMH Group or even the entire luxury industry, and his only concern is Lin Qingyuan's personal gains and losses.
"And Lin Qingyuan's dedication and performance in brand influence promotion in the past two years, I think your company should be obvious to all, especially this year, when luxury goods rely more on online sales, Lin Qingyuan's performance has reached the absolute peak in the past two years."
"So it is no exaggeration to say that Louis Vuitton was able to maintain a low or even zero decline in China in the first half of this year, and Lin Qingyuan contributed a lot."
Wu Yue knew very well the significance of Yan Jun's words, which was nothing more than wanting to emphasize Lin Qingyuan's endorsement performance in order to seek more benefits.
However, Lin Qingyuan did fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of his global spokesperson.
And he himself came with the sincerity of the French headquarters, so naturally he will not deliberately suppress the first global spokesperson in the history of the brand.
】
Wu Yue followed Yan Jun's words and continued, "Indeed, according to the financial report for the first half of the year, the positive effect that our global spokesperson has brought to the brand during the special period is visible to the naked eye, and we will naturally not ignore his great contribution to the global promotion and marketing of LV and the entire LVMH Group." ”
"Lin Qingyuan was an important part of Louis Vuitton's expansion of global visibility and influence and seizure of luxury market share, so the headquarters decided to overturn the original three-year, $25 million contract with two years remaining, and comprehensively upgrade and renegotiate the treatment of our key partners."
Yan Jun rarely smiled, "Mr. Wu, we have been old friends with LVMH for many years, and Louis Vuitton has also watched Lin Qingyuan develop step by step from a newcomer to the current height, so I believe that you will give him the treatment and resources he deserves." ”
Wu Yue also smiled, and even now, he was still complacent about the investment he made three years ago to Lin Qingyuan, who was still a newcomer at the time.
After all, not everyone can be as discerning as him!
"What do you think about the length of the contract, but it doesn't hurt." Wu Yue's smile softened.
"The short-term is good, but we can accept it in the long term, depending on what kind of treatment your company is willing to give us."
Yan Jun's meaning is also very simple: it is okay to sign a long-term contract, but all aspects of treatment, including the hard salary, must be upgraded for another round compared with the short-term.
"The expected endorsement salary given by the headquarters is 10 million US dollars per year, but if the contract is signed for more than three years at one time, then we will provide an additional 10% of the total salary as a signing fee to pay you in advance.
"Then if we sign for 10 years at a time, wouldn't we take 10 million dollars for nothing?" The negotiations went very smoothly, and Yan Jun made a joke.
"If you really have this idea, then I can help you convey it to HQ on your behalf." Wu Yue couldn't help it.
"You know I'm just kidding."
"So what is your ideal life?"
"We think three years is appropriate."
"It's a pleasure to work with."
Wu Yue showed a satisfied smile, and the two sides got up to shake hands, saying that they were looking forward to a more pleasant cooperation next time.
............
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Qingyuan arrived at the material shooting location of the LV spring and summer menswear show, Jing'an Shangri-La Hotel.
Global spokesperson Lin Qingyuan, brand spokesperson Li Jiaheng, brand friends Di Lieba, Zhu Yilong, Liu Haoran, Ou Yang Nana, brand friends Cheng Xiao and Zhou Ye, as well as Yu Shuxin, Li Wenhan, Bai Jingting, Fan Chengcheng, Wang Ziyi, Hou Minghao, who are in contact with Louis Vuitton and strive for cooperation...
This is the star guest lineup of this men's clothing show, of course, there are many lake coffees who have not received invitations but are looking for connections to get in and rub the camera are not counted.
Under the protection and guidance of team members and LV staff, Lin Qingyuan met Mr. Liu, the person in charge of the show, in the banquet hall on the third floor of the hotel.
"Xiao Lin, long time no see!"
Mr. Liu, who didn't seem to have met much in Lin Qingyuan's impression, gave him a very warm hug as soon as he came up, as if old friends were reuniting with old friends.
"Long time no see, Mr. Liu."
Lin Qingyuan nodded politely in return.
The relationship is really unfamiliar, but it can be understood.
After all, in the resource competition for Louis Vuitton spokesperson, Lin Qingyuan has completely overwhelmingly suppressed Li Jiaheng, who was still the same title two years ago.
If Louis Vuitton originally allocated 100 global promotion resources to the Huaguo branch, Lin Qingyuan accounted for 60, Li Jiaheng shared 30, and others shared 10.
With the continuous rise of the luxury market in China and the increasing global popularity and influence of Lin Qingyuan, the total amount of resources allocated to Huaguo by Louis Vuitton headquarters may have reached 150, and the current Lin Qingyuan principle accounts for at least 120, or even more.
Coupled with Lin Qingyuan's current momentum, he has completely lost the painful period and decline after the cross-circle development, and his direct leader Wu Yue, president of LVMH Greater China, loves Lin Qingyuan, so he naturally does not dare to snub this group prince who is loved by thousands of people.
This is a real cash cow for performance!
"The task assigned to you today is heavy." Mr. Liu patted Lin Qingyuan on the shoulder, "I'll work hard for you in the afternoon." ”
"Don't say anything hard or not, this is my job in itself." Lin Qingyuan smiled.
"The afternoon time is very tight, then I won't delay your work, you go and get busy, and find me if you have something."
The two parted at the door of the banquet hall.
The waiter who walked in front pushed open the door and then neatly lined up on both sides, respectfully welcoming Lin Qingyuan's arrival.
The movement from this side of the door was not small, so it quickly attracted the attention of all the guests in the banquet hall, so from their perspective...
Under the gorgeous light of the crystal chandelier, a group of men in suits and leather shoes walked into the noisy banquet hall, and they were surrounded by layers in the middle, the man in sunglasses who looked like the king was on the throne of Shangri-La, staring at the front expressionlessly...
Unparalleled dignity!
Everyone couldn't help but stop what they were doing, and they all paid attention to him, and at the same time, because of Lin Qingyuan's entry, they became solemn.
The overall clothing tone and appearance style are not in the same dimension as the people around him, no matter where he is, Lin Qingyuan will be the most eye-catching focus of the crowd.
"He looks like an invincible star!" Yu Shuxin couldn't help but sigh quietly.
"I'm so handsome with him!" Fan Chengcheng couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaimed in a low voice.
"Although I haven't replied to my WeChat several times in a row, I must let you appear in my vlog later!" Oyanana thought to herself.
"It's really hard to compete with someone like that." Li Wenhan was secretly frightened.
Wang Ziyi has secretly taken out his mobile phone to his good brother Kunfa! 】
"Cut, pretend..."Li Jiaheng turned his head disdainfully, but his eyes hidden under his sunglasses kept watching Lin Qingyuan's figure until he took his seat.
"No wonder Qiu Yu always said that the person who amazed her the most in the circle was Lin Qingyuan..."Liu Haoran, who was standing in front of the background board to take promotional photos, had mixed feelings.
To be honest, he was a little envious and a little jealous, but when he kept hinting to himself that Lin Qingyuan must be bored with Zhou Qiuyu, his mood was much better.
"Come, is Haoran ready?"
"Alright, alright." Liu Haoran, who came back to his senses, pulled out a far-fetched smile, hurriedly stood in front of the camera, and then put his hands in his trouser pockets.
But the Zhizu editor, who was in charge of the filming of the theme blockbuster of "One Branch", stopped loudly on the side: "Don't carry your pocket! Don't carry your pockets! ”
Louis Vuitton's men's show cooperated with GQ, so Zhizu also sent a professional photography team to help LV shoot materials.
Liu Haoran had no choice but to pull his hand out of his trouser pocket and explain awkwardly: "The suit is too difficult to pose." ”
Lin Qingyuan didn't notice what happened to Liu Haoran, and was still seriously chatting with the person in charge of the Zhi clan who came to entertain him about the afternoon's filming work.
"The artists present today are all LV, only Xiaolin dares to wear other family jewelry." He Yao, deputy editor-in-chief of the Zhi clan, looked Lin Qingyuan up and down.
If he is not mistaken, there are probably three brands of items on his body, namely Louis Vuitton's ready-to-wear, Bulgari's necklaces and watches, and .e's rings, as for Piaget's watch, he will not wear it this time, after all, Piaget does not belong to the LVMH group, and it is not suitable to wear it.
"Is there one?" Lin Qingyuan smiled as if he was a little surprised, "I didn't pay much attention to these things, but what they told me was to use LV items as much as possible." ”
"If you're trying your best, then others are necessary, but it's normal for LV to give you preferential treatment to Xiaolin, after all, you are their signature nuclear weapon."
"Mr. He, you are exaggerating." Lin Qingyuan looked at his watch, "Didn't you say that time was tight?" So when do we start? ”
"We can start now if you want."
"But isn't it still filming over there?" Lin Qingyuan looked at the corner of the banquet hall.
The photographer was shouting for Yu Shuxin to have some cute poses, but she didn't think about it, but it attracted her twittering little complaints.
"What's cute? I'm cute enough! She was all talking.
Then Yu Shuxin was asked by the photographer to sit down and take a few photos, but she didn't think that Yu Shuxin would be in trouble again.
The red dress she chose today was too slim, so that as soon as she sat down, she would show her belly, so there was no way, in order not to be ridiculed by the group, she could only sit up straight in the end, her back was as if she was participating in military training in college, and her neck was straight like a crowing rooster, which made Lin Qingyuan ruined.
Seeing Lin Qingyuan watching other people's jokes there, He Yao couldn't help but ask, "Xiaolin, do you know her?" ”
Lin Qingyuan nodded, "A colleague from a company has met a few times before, but her personality is quite interesting. ”
Hearing that they knew each other, He Yan immediately retracted the idea of clearing the scene and driving people away for Lin Qingyuan to shoot.
"Interesting?" He looked at Yu Shuxin's pretending to be sweet and cute little flesh face, and was silent for a moment, "It seems to be really interesting..."
