Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 893 Xiangyang came out?
Since the slogan is to promote cultural exchange.

So it would be a bit unreasonable not to include a visit to the museums in Damascus in your itinerary.

So, when Asma invited Xiangyang, Macron and other members of the team to visit the Damascus National Museum.

Xiang Yang and others readily agreed.

Due to geographical reasons.

The artifacts exhibited in the museums of Damascus span a very long period of time.

Like China, Damascus' history also includes the Bronze Age, and these exhibits are rarely seen in European museums.

You want to know whether ancient European civilization experienced the Bronze Age.

The answer is yes.

The Aegean civilization, the Cretan civilization, and the Mycenaean civilization all existed in the Bronze Age.

However, it is difficult to see the existence of bronze artifacts in their archaeological discoveries.

Among the exhibits in the Damascus Museum, Xiangyang saw a Tang Sancai from the 9th century in China.

As we all know, Tang Sancai is a kind of pottery figurines.

This pottery figurine holds a sword in his right hand and a shield in his right hand. The shape is vivid and unique, the color decoration is novel and delicate, and the glaze color is bright and shiny.

There is light through the glass.

The guide of the Damascus Museum said so, and Xiangyang listened as he stood in front of the protective cover and observed carefully.

He was not at all surprised that this well-preserved Tang Sancai from China could appear in Damascus.

They are an important part of the 'Silk Road'.

As early as the Western Han Dynasty, the two sides had close exchanges, and whether it was Daqin, Dashi or Tiaozhi, they were all referring to this area.

However, precisely because it is the junction of the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe, it has not had a peaceful life for many years since ancient times.

Now there is another 'good neighbor' next door.

That life was a bit more tragic.

"Mr. Xiang, we have prepared a gift for you." Asma saw Xiang Yang looking at the Tang Sancai with a keen eye, and turned back and nodded to her entourage.

Soon, a beautifully wrapped gift sheet consisting of 20 stamps appeared in front of Xiangyang.

The pictures above are all of the Tang Sancai statue in front of them.

This stamp was not specially made for Xiangyang’s visit, but was a souvenir from the museum’s own national treasure series that it had previously launched.

Although the value of the collection depends on the individual, Xiangyang was still very happy to receive such a gift in a foreign country.

"Thank you, respected Mrs. Asma." Xiangyang said with a smile.

He does not collect stamps.

I'm not very interested in stamps.

But it would be nice to put this thing in a picture frame and hang it in my own castle.

We visited for more than half an hour and took photos.

When Asuma and Xiangyang asked him which of the next attractions he was more interested in, Xiangyang said:

"Madam, if there is enough time, can you arrange for us to visit the Ancient Soap Manor in your country?"

"Of course," Asuma agreed readily.

This proposal was exactly what she wanted.

Even if Xiangyang didn't want to visit, she still wanted to extend an invitation.

It is no exaggeration to say that ancient soap will play a vital role in the future foreign trade of Damascus.

At present, its largest export is agricultural crops.

As an agricultural country, this is normal.

However, it exports cash crops. In fact, after hearing this, Xiangyang subconsciously looked at Macron.

Brother, they are selling cotton, why don’t you buy some now and store it?

Of course.

This idea was just a joke, Xiang Yang didn't want to get involved in this matter. However, he was really interested in Damascus ancient soap.

Different from soaps made from chemical products.

Ancient soap is made from pure natural soap base, carefully selected plant essential oils, and is handmade using natural spring water as the brewing water source.

Likewise, its grade breakdown also has unique quality requirements.

What Xiangyang wanted to see was the ancient soap made from hand-picked olives that were used to press the oil and then bottled on site.

If you ask, which product line is the most complex.

That is undoubtedly a beauty product.

To be honest, even if Xiangyang is not a straight man, his forehead hurts when he sees the classification between facial care and skin care products.

Skin care products are primarily used to moisturize, nourish and repair the skin.

Facial masks, exfoliators, and products used to deeply cleanse and maintain facial skin are called facial care products.

Well.
I can only say that it’s really hard to make money from men.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Xiang would be interested in our ancient soap." After a brief chat, Asma said with emotion.

But when she thought about the information that the wife of the director of the top luxury brand in front of her was an actress, she didn't think much about it.

Even though Damascus is poor.

But I can still afford to give some ancient soap as a gift.

On the way, she also explained to Xiangyang the differences between ancient soaps.

The uses of ancient soaps vary depending on the amount of laurel oil added. Low laurel oil soaps are used for contact with the skin, while 10-20% soaps can be stored for 5 years or more and are more suitable for dry and sensitive skin.

Gao Yuegui is used to wash hair.

Because it has very good degreasing properties.

As for the ancient soap with a content of about 5%, because of its relatively cheap price, it can actually better meet the needs of the general public.

After all, no matter how good a piece of ancient soap is, if the price is outrageous, sales will be limited.

“So that’s how it is”

Xiangyang clicked his tongue.

Well, it turns out that a lot of this is based on actual consumer feedback reports from the European market.

Europe's preference for ancient soap is similar to the introduction of this product into the Chinese market.

The higher the concentration of laurel oil, the more expensive it is, but it is more popular.

It can only be said that the tricks used by luxury goods have actually been clearly figured out by ordinary merchants.

Everyone knows how to add gimmicks to their products to attract customers.

However, it is not as simple as just going there to see the ancient soap factory. The best ancient soap factory in Damascus is in Aleppo.

It's not particularly safe over there now.

Asma had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and took Xiangyang and others on a tour of the ancient soap shops around Damascus.

But after this round, Xiangyang gained a lot.

It’s Macron who has been with me all the way here, and I really don’t know what Xiangyang is doing here.

After the dinner hosted by the three parties that night, he asked on the way back to the hotel with Xiangyang under the escort of security personnel.

"Our new product line at Hermès is about beauty and cosmetics." Xiangyang withdrew his gaze from outside and said with a smile.

Besides, he also wanted to say that it felt really good to have a security vehicle leading the way and escorting him.

I don’t know if I can enjoy such treatment when I return to China with the IMF.

"You want to do beauty products?! Are you responsible?" Macron was surprised.

His exaggerated tone was very flattering.

"Yes, otherwise why would I come here. Am I here to take you out on a date?" Xiangyang said humorously.

If I were going on a date, I wouldn't invite you.

Wouldn't it be better to bring my wife along?

Maybe we can walk through the ancient monuments of Damascus and admire the exotic scenery, and then find an appropriate time to give her a rose.

She could have just quit Prometheus.

"No wonder."

Macron thought about the recent official website of Hermès, and Xiangyang's overly detailed understanding of the various harvesting, production and sales of ancient Damascus soap today, and muttered after he was relieved.

"Xiang, I advise you to think more about this side," Macron said meaningfully.

As far as the current situation in Damascus is concerned, Saddam will definitely intervene, and there is no need to reach a consensus through a meeting.

Look at the historical relationship between Damascus and France.

If we look at where the oil pipeline laid by Saudi Arabia goes, we can draw a conclusion.

But Xiangyang had obviously done his homework in advance, and said immediately:

"So, I'm still considering the feasibility of such trade. You know, a third party is not a reliable approach."

If an outbreak occurs, Damascus will be sanctioned.

Whether paying through your own account or through a third party, you face the risk of being frozen and subject to relevant investigations.

For a small company, this is nothing.

But for Hermès, no matter how important this ancient soap is to its beauty product line, it has lost its meaning.

But there are ways to solve this problem.

The technology for producing ancient soap can be licensed.

And it's not just one region in the world that produces this ancient soap made from a mixture of laurel oil and olive oil.

Of course, this is the last resort.

After all, the COO system, that is, the proof of origin, is still of great commercial value for the style of a product.

So apart from this method, Xiangyang first thought of public relations.

It is not impossible to exempt such cultural products from the sanctions list.

"No wonder you asked me to come over!" Macron heard Xiang Yang's words and shouted that the top laner was given to him.

He still thought he was here to take advantage.

Unexpectedly, I was pulled here by Xiangyang to do service.

"Look at what you said. Do you want the crystallization of human cultural development to be destroyed?"

Xiangyang shrugged.

Brother Xiao Ma, please don't be ignorant of the current situation.

I'm helping you.

When the time comes and people here go to France and get their identity, all the votes will be cast for you.

I can't run for election.
But seeing the conflicted look on Macron's face, Xiangyang knew that this guy would not be dismissed with just a few words on this matter.

He was also prepared for this situation.

The first thing he did when he returned to the hotel was to let Bi Shaffer guard his door, then he pulled Macron reluctantly into his room and started chatting.

Ok.

Just him and Macron.

No one else.

In order to ensure that their private conversation would not be interrupted, Xiangyang simply gave the phone to Bi Shaffer to look after.

This is actually nothing.

Whenever he attends an important meeting, Xiangyang keeps the habit of not bringing his mobile phone.

But not long after he and Macron entered the room, they received a call from Liu Xixi, who had already arrived in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, to meet with the "Prometheus" team led by director Ridley Scott.

There was something going on and Ridley Scott wanted her help communicating it.

The costume design of the entire film was done by TJ.

In the movie, both the exterior design of the spacecraft and the exterior design of the landing vehicle were introduced by Xiang Yang and handed over to Tesla's design team for cooperation.

Musk even asked Tesla to build two landing vehicles with the same appearance as the design for the crew to use.

"Liu, Boss is not in a position to communicate with you right now." Bi Shafer, standing at the door holding Xiangyang's phone, looked extremely embarrassed.

Except for Liu Xixi's call.

The armed security guards in the hotel corridors also made her nervous.

Even though I went to school in the United States, I was used to seeing biubiubiu.

But she had never seen or experienced such high-level security measures herself.

The security measures outside the hotel were so exaggerated and terrifying that she even regretted agreeing to let Xiang Yang come to Damascus.

"What? Isn't it safe over there?"

Liu Qianqian's voice sounded a little anxious.

Is it safe?

Bi Shafer didn't know how to answer this question. In her opinion, this hotel should be one of the safest places in Damascus.

Even staff members need to undergo strict inspection before going upstairs.

What a coincidence.

Xiangyang let her stand at the door, staring at the two security guards in black suits.

"That's not the case. He's talking to Macron." Bi Shaffer said in a low voice.

"What's the inconvenience?" Liu Qianqian was stunned.

It’s not like she hasn’t seen Macron before.

The two families are so familiar with each other that they can't be any closer.

"Uh" Bi Shaffer hesitated, as if this question was even more difficult to answer. The two of them were alone in a room, talking about some little secrets.

Will saying this cause any misunderstanding?

After all, they are members of the "Gay Friends Group".

"Could it be that there are only two of them in the room and you are guarding the door for them?" As expected, Liu Qianqian seemed to understand.

After an exclamation.

There was silence on both ends of the line.

Ah this
"Then ask him to call me after the conversation and I won't bother you anymore." Liu Qianqian suddenly laughed out loud.

"???" Bi Shafer was puzzled.

Why does this laughter sound a bit ambiguous?
Could it be that Liu Qianqian is really not worried?

"There's nothing to worry about." Liu Qianqian curled her lips. She knew her own man.

In other words, if there is no trust, are they still husband and wife?
Xiangyang didn't even touch Bi Shafer who was beside him.

How could I possibly mess around with Macron?

"You'll know when you fall in love." After saying this, Liu Qianqian hung up the phone.

Any woman who is slightly normal knows this.

Men and women think differently.

For a woman, having her is like having the whole world, but a man feels that he needs the whole world to have her.

Men, sometimes, also need support and understanding.

Although my abilities are limited, I cannot provide much help to Xiangyang's work.

But she could still avoid causing trouble.

"Director Ridley, he's busy. I'll report to you when I have news."

Liu Qianqian, who seemed to have become a bridge between the crew and investors, took the initiative to find Ridley Scott, who was waiting for a reply, to explain the situation after hanging up the phone.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Liu." Ridley Scott nodded.

It’s really great to have such an obedient and helpful actor in the crew.

At least it can help him save most of his energy on docking.

He wanted to call the film's investors to negotiate, but Hollywood is currently holding many Oscar PR receptions.

The people who really manage things are drunk.
"Liu, how about this, let's not be idle and take a look at the list of actors who have auditioned."

As he spoke, Ridley Scott stood up and took a stack of actor information from the table in his room.

Looking at the thick materials, Liu Qianqian was slightly surprised by the proposal.

But after pursing his lips, he took a deep breath and said to Zhao Xin next to him:

"Please get me and the director a double cup of coffee."

Just be
Just to kill time while waiting for the stinky guy to call back.
