Chapter 67 School Uniform Trends
Hall and Charlotte spent a lot of time in the car, and by the time the two were over, the party was almost over.
On the way home, Mrs. Gloucester asked her daughter beside her, "Did you have a nice conversation with Hugo?" I think you're very engaged. ”
"Luckily, we talked about his role as a magician." Sabella Yin didn't want her mother to find out what happened outside the outdoor pool that night, Hanhu responded.
Mrs. Gloucester smiled and replied, "I also talked to Baron Helena about it, and she said it was Hugo's inspiration. This kid is really quick-witted, and he has a better aesthetic than many fashion designers.
Aren't you interested in fashion, maybe you should talk to him more...... Speaking of which, Baron Helena also praised you, saying that your role as "Cleopatra" is very eye-catching......"
Yin Sabella listened to her mother's euphemistic nagging to express her tendencies, and was inexplicably a little irritable, and interrupted: "Mom, you are drunk, do you want to rest for a while?" ”
“…… I found that Baron Helena used a lot of words that commoners would use during their conversations. In the previous Christmas speech of Her Majesty Elizabeth Yin, the accent was no longer the most standard aristocratic accent, mixed with a little London accent. ”
Mrs. Gloucester smiled and said to herself, "A few years ago, the Observer newspaper published a statistical report that the number of fallen nobles in England increased by 97 last year.
At present, there are only a few hundred nobles who are not bankrupt, including families like us who compete with small businessmen and do not work hard to make money this year, and will go bankrupt next year.
If you want to marry a well-honed elegant aristocrat rather than a vulgar merchant nouveau riche, then you need to increase your sense of urgency. Because you don't have many options, and there will be fewer and fewer of them. ”
Yin Sabella Ping couldn't refute this, and refused to show weakness to change the topic: "The Observer is the property of Viscount Astor's family? He shouldn't have belittled us like that, he's also a nobleman. ”
Mrs. Gloucester sighed: "Silly boy, the Astor family only owns a partial stake now, and the Observer does not belong to their family for a long time. Moreover, how can a powerful nobleman like him maintain our face. @*~~”
Yin Sabella commented disdainfully: "No wonder the Astor family will be ridiculed, a viscount bought with money is still a mercenary merchant at the root. ”
"You can't be so mean. Bella, you're not what a perfect aristocratic wife should be. Elegance, etiquette and elegance must not be forgotten at any time. Mrs. Gloucester reminded.
Yin Sabella was silent for a few seconds, and then said in her usual cold and detached voice, "I will." ”
"Excellent! I knew my daughter was so proud of her ambitions. Only a good nobleman like Hugo can get your affection. Only my excellent daughter can be recognized by Hugo......"
Mrs. Gloucester began to babble again, and this time Insabella did not feel irritated, but had some hope and longing.
In the manor, the guests dispersed, and Caroline instructed the servants to clean up.
Hall, Helena, and Cheryl sat by the fireplace on the second floor and rested around the fireplace.
"Hugo, this costume you call the [Magic School Uniform] is more popular than I expected. I'd like to make the full version of the Hogwarts uniform you described yesterday. Cheryl said.
Hall argues with her every day: "Do you want to fight so hard for the drag ball?" ”
"No, not for the drag ball, I'm thinking about the commercial value of this costume. At present, there is a trend of "school uniforms" in neon, which was born from the uniforms of the American Navy during World War II, and from celebrities to costume designers, this kind of clothing has swept the entire neon.
Our magic school uniform is similar to it, it is also a school uniform, and it has a unique cultural element. You know what I mean? Cheryl said earnestly.
"JK uniform?" Four words instantly popped into Hall's head, and this thing was really interesting.
In later generations, the sales of "Harry Potter" peripheral clothing were calculated in units of 100 million US dollars, and now even if there is no cultural IP bonus, magic culture is a traditional European element.
You can also take some of the settings from Harry Potter to add a backstory to the costume itself.
And Margaret Howell is working on a popular clothing item, a vest full of British magic elements - maybe a good choice.
Choose.
But it's too early to think about this, Hall nodded thoughtfully and replied, "Sounds like a good idea, you can make a sample first." ”
"Wait, I think this idea will definitely work, and we'll make a lot of money. When the time comes, I will buy all the assets in your mother's name, and most importantly, her jewelry cabinet, and I will grab all her jewelry! "Cheryl started dreaming before she slept, and she was ambitious to do big things.
Helena sipped black tea and said lightly: "Come on, I wish your school uniform to sell 10 million sets." However, it is better not to have a long cycle, after all, wealth will grow naturally. ”
Cheryl immediately started from the recliner with a sit-up: "Aha, taunting, is it? Don't believe me, I'm serious this time. Hugo, let's go and measure it now. ”
"Wait a minute, speaking of acquisitions, something comes to mind."
Hall grabbed her hand holding her arm and said to Helena, "Mom, I'm going to buy a football club next." You know, it might involve the public factor. For example, whether society has a negative view of our family. Do you have any comments on this? ”
Helena asked: "It depends on what you are buying the football club for. ”
"Mainly out of personal interest." Hall replied.
Cheryl's hand holding his arm suddenly lost its strength and complained: "I suddenly don't want to be serious, a football club needs at least a million pounds." Will my little Hugo taunt me? ”
"No, I'm going to buy a first-tier club with a budget of £20 million, including expenses like building a team after the acquisition." Hall scoffed sincerely.
Hearing this amount, Helena asked him where he got all that money, and Hall recounted what he had told Brandon in New York.
"Top sports clubs have a certain social impact, which requires a professional assessment."
Helena thought for a moment and replied, "But you don't have to worry about negative perceptions. From your grandfather's generation, the Hall family made a low-key transition into the realm of financial capital. At present, the Hall family does not control the industry, at least in the common class. ”
Hall was inspired to fall into deep thought.
So since there is no negative impact on buying a football club, can it have a positive impact in reverse?
Football clubs in England have a strong geographical identity, and the grandfather was a Manchester fan, and as long as the grandson has not moved out of Manchester, then he will almost certainly be a Manchester fan.
Over the generations, a football club is a city.
As an aristocratic lord of West Yorkshire, if he buys the top local football club and runs it well, he should be able to add a lot of prestige.
"What do you think, arm up."
In the cloakroom, Hall was thinking as a model, and Cheryl kept giving instructions to measure the size of the clothing sample.
He yawned: "It's late now, aren't you sleepy?" ”
Cheryl measured his shoulder width: "I haven't done strenuous exercise, why am I sleepy?" As he spoke, he reached out and lifted his collar, revealing the red mark on his chest, smacking his lips and saying, "It must be a passionate girl." ”
Hall was a thief, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Aunt Caroline is joking with you." ”
"Young people really know how to play, ...... in the car," Cheryl raised an eyebrow.
Hall covered her chest with a sloppy look: "Aunt Caroline promised to keep it a secret." ”
“ah?! Did you really sneak out of the party and do that in the car? Caroline still helps you let the wind out? Cheryl opened her mouth wide and asked three questions.
Halton was dumbfounded, scolded the trickery, and asked, "How did you guess?" ”
"You just came back from the outdoors with the smell of perfume on you, and Caroline only told us that you were in a relationship with a girl. I didn't expect you to bluff so much. Cheryl explained.
"What kind of thing can you think about when you have a scent? What the hell is this logic? ”
"Isn't it normal for boys and girls to not sleep at night, and to hold and nibble for a while in the car? Who knew you were so out of line. ”
"My dear Aunt Cheryl was married to Paris and was spoiled by the French, if you had thought of Plato."
"Don't be messy with me, don't worry, I won't tell Helena. _o_m 。
Cheryl patted him on the shoulder.
Hall had a dog-legged smile on her face: "Aunt Cheryl is the most beautiful woman in the world. ”
"Now I lie and don't blink. Error-free update @So, Helena now acquiesces to you dating girls? Or even something like that? Cheryl asked.
Hall shrugged: "...... Maybe. ”。
