Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 897 Rumors, who would believe it?

"What about you?" Bi Shafer was unwilling to be driven like this.

"Me?" Xiang Yang smiled. "To be fair, we will each be responsible for one person. Besides, you know how busy I am."

What he was talking about was, of course, Ms. Asma in Damascus.

With the help of Hermès, Xiang Yang has officially invited her, hoping that she can visit Paris in March to attend the Hermès and HYS autumn and winter fashion shows.

So, everyone has one.

That sounds fair.

Bi Shafer thought about it and it seemed so.

Comparatively speaking, the latter was more complicated to deal with, and she only reacted when she saw a sly smile on Xiangyang's face after she nodded.

There is also Ms. Lee Boo-jin.

"Hasn't she always been your contact?" Facing the assistant's protest, Xiang Yang shrugged his shoulders and said shamelessly:
“It is a good virtue to finish what you start.”

"."Bi Shafer curled her lips and had to accept her fate.

However, what Xiangyang said is indeed not wrong. Having more contact with women like this will be of great help to your future improvement.

Anna Wintour had discussed this with Xiang Yang before arranging her to be his assistant.

But there is no problem in taking this job, and Bi Shafer also has her own ideas.

At the critical moment, she hopes Xiangyang can come forward to help her.

"That's no problem." Xiang Yang agreed.

If even Bi Shaffer can't handle something, it's generally not a small matter, and it's inevitable that you have to step in to solve it yourself.

Just like this time negotiating a $1.5 million loan with Lee Boo-jin.

"Didn't you say that she was planning to enter the sports field? I think you could start from this aspect." Xiang Yang suggested.

HYS itself sponsors numerous sports.

Liverpool FC is a golden brand that was bought at a huge price, so it would be a shame not to make full use of it.

Seeing that Xiangyang was willing to help her plan, Bi Shafer calmed down and thought for a while before saying, "Boss, I think it's not just football. There are many projects in Thailand that we can use this opportunity to cooperate on."

In her opinion, this brief cultural exchange in Damascus can enhance the brand reputation of HYS during Fashion Week.

But the risks are difficult to control.

On the other hand, Thailand is different.

"Tell me about it?" Xiangyang also became interested.

"Bicycle and motorcycle racing are also very popular in Thailand." Bi Shafer quickly took out her prepared speech.

The time she spent following Xiangyang was not in vain.

in contrast.

As HYS's publicity and expansion gradually spread, a lot of first-hand information was almost always extracted by her and then provided to Xiangyang for specific judgment when necessary.

This is what a qualified assistant should do.

“Also, their natural environment is very suitable for hosting cross-country events.”

"." Xiangyang was silent for a moment, then motioned for Bi Shafer to sit down and discuss the matter.

Don't say it.

The information provided by Bea Schaffer is really useful.

First of all, there is no doubt that Thailand has the natural environment to host cross-country races.

Promoting the UTMB event to Thailand has huge profit potential for both HYS and the event.

In addition, Thailand has a tradition of hosting the World Motorcycle Championships, and it is also one of the important stages of the Asian Road Motorcycle Championship.

This is also related to the fact that Thailand itself is a major motorcycle country.

It’s just that Xiangyang himself doesn’t pay much attention to this sport.

HYS does not have any motorcycle apparel related products, sponsoring the Isle of Man TT is enough.

However, the topic of bicycles aroused Xiangyang's special interest.

The Tour of Thailand is ranked 2.1 in the UCI category. It can be said that before the Tour of Beijing, it is not an exaggeration to call it an important event in the first half of the Asian Tour.

Moreover, this event has five years of successful experience and has many sponsors.

Becoming its partner and even sending two HYS teams to participate in the competition was a natural thing.

But the real key point is that Thailand's royal family loves cycling very much.

Is this important?

This is very important.

Xiangyang can give a very affirmative answer.

"It seems that you should hurry up and contact the other party." Xiangyang looked at Bi Shafer, and then looked at the result of their discussion.

"Then I will call tomorrow?" asked Bi Shafer.

"of course."

Xiangyang raised his wrist to check the time, estimated the time difference and nodded.

Although I don't know how much the specific time zone of Thailand differs from my own time zone, this thing can be applied.

Whatever time it is in China, it should be roughly the same as what time it is in Thailand.

It's just a small problem of +1 or -1.

"How about this, don't push yourself too hard, why not wait until you get back to Paris tomorrow to make a detailed plan. You've been very busy recently, so you should pay more attention to rest."

Xiangyang is very positive about Bi Shafer's work attitude.

But seeing her tired spirit, I felt a little distressed.

Farmhands also need to rest during the slack season.

What about cattle and horses?

Bah, no, it should be said his assistant.

If she really collapsed from exhaustion, it would not be a big deal if Anna Wintour could not find him to settle the bill. The hospitalization expenses would be covered by insurance, so he did not need to worry too much.

But how long the vacation can be taken is not up to him to decide.

"Here, Ms. Asma happened to give me a lot of her skin care products. You can use them to maintain your skin."

"Okay then, I'll go through the information in detail first, and then contact UCI and UTMB to get their opinions."

Bea Shaffer nodded.

I felt a little touched when I heard him say that he felt the same way.

Especially after Xiangyang really stood up and took all the gifts given to him and handed them to himself.

This feeling of being touched was even more profound.

Don't be surprised.

This is purely a momentary emotion brought about by the contrast between the past and the present.

"Boss, won't you leave some for Liu?" She hesitated.

"So don't tell her."

Xiang Yang smiled and said, "I'll just go to the airport and buy her two pieces. I asked, and they said these are good things that are only for their family, and they won't give them out to others easily."

"." Bi Shafer looked at Xiangyang blankly and declined, "Is this appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about this? She was the one who started this. Just think of it as a gift from her."

When it comes to fooling people, Xiangyang has never failed anyone.

As for waiting for Liu Xixi to ask him about it, he would wait until then. Besides, Bi Shafu didn't take the initiative to betray him, and he kept his mouth shut, so what could Liu Xixi know?
Her little tricks of playing the emotional card are nothing.

You see, this little spy you placed beside me was easily corrupted by me.

Seeing that Bi Shaffer finally accepted the gift, Xiangyang thought about it and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

No wonder the old people always say that we should always be on guard against the sugar-coated bullets of the bourgeoisie.

It turns out this trick really works.

"You better keep it and don't post it on Instagram to show off. My wife is very smart."

"Don't worry, Boss." Bi Shafer nodded. She certainly wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

Not long after bribing Bi Shafer, Xiangyang began to prepare for the interview in the evening.

I finally got an interview, and it happened at a sensitive time.

It's easy to say the wrong thing if you're not well prepared.

Therefore, we had to call in the public relations department staff to review the interview content submitted by the TV station and local media word by word.

Fortunately, the public relations department's accompanying staff had already started preparing for Xiang Yang's interview when they arrived in Paris.

In fact, you don’t even have to go to Damascus to experience the strict security standards.

For many things, you can find clues if you watch international news regularly.

Therefore, after Xiangyang's interview drafts were carefully sorted out again and again, they all focused on one theme to explain the purpose of this trip -

Let a pair of high heels born in Paris, which fully combines Milanese elements and Damascus inlay craftsmanship, travel home.

Yes, it is the pair that Liu Xixi wore at the Golden Globe Awards.

It was also the gift that Xiangyang gave to Asma on behalf of the Hermès Group.

As for the rest.

Professionals from the public relations department also suggested that Xiangyang talk about cultural exchanges and sports.

For example, Xiang Yang announced the invitation to Asma to Paris Fashion Week through Al Jazeera.

In front of the local media, members of the Damascus national team were invited to go to Liverpool to experience the atmosphere of the Premier League games, etc. to divert attention.

Of course, it’s coming.

Donations are indispensable.

However, this time, neither Hermès nor HYS opened their purses and spent lavishly in Damascus.

It was just a symbolic donation of one million euros.

To be honest, if Xiangyang had not experienced some of the jokes on the Internet personally, he might have believed them to be true.

For example, one of the most widely circulated jokes on the Internet criticizing the Chinese national football team is that the players in Damascus can't even afford a pair of decent sneakers.

But after coming here, Xiangyang realized that not only the number of registered players was much higher than that in China, but their lives were not so miserable.

The main players basically play for top clubs in West Asia.

There are even quite a few people who have dual citizenship.

So if you say that the income of these players cannot catch up with that of individual Chinese players during the Golden Age, that may be true.

But you're saying these players can't afford sneakers?
Then Xiangyang laughed.

What shoes can a player who earns three million dollars a year not afford?!
"Damn. His salary is higher than mine." (Basic salary)

On the last day of the trip, after a passionate exchange with the local Football Association, Xiangyang gritted his teeth as he saw the pride on their faces as they talked about the development of local football in front of him.

Aren't we talking about football?
Look what you can achieve.

Although he was angry, the interview caused a stir in the country after it was broadcast.

In China, the general public does not care about Damascus.

Many people don't even care who their "good friend" next door is.

But it cannot stop some old men and grandpas who like to watch international news, nor can it stop fans from spontaneously climbing over the wall to browse relevant reports from foreign media.

Foreign media paid special attention to Xiangyang's trip.

The Sun, a newspaper owned by the Murdoch Group, even quoted Al Jazeera's exclusive interview with Xiang Yang in full.

Naturally, two photos were also published in the newspapers.

One is a photo of Liu Qianqian on the red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards, and the other is a photo of Xiang Yang giving Asma a gift on the red carpet at the welcome ceremony.

“So this is Hermès’ new product!”

When the pair of high heels was unveiled, the fashion media that had paid attention to the wave of advertisements that suddenly appeared on the Hermès official website a few days ago exclaimed in surprise and felt strange.

The reason for the exclamation is that Hermès has put so much hype into just a pair of shoes.

That's exactly why it's strange.

Just a pair of shoes, why does Hermès make it so mysterious?

"What do you think this Xiang is doing?" In China's capital, Xiao Wuge was conducting an analysis with his partner Wu Bing.

This Ms. Wu Bing is not the one who talked about the Seven Star Plan at the Hollywood Dragon party.

But a partner of DMG Media.

Former gymnastics and synchronized swimming champion.

After retiring, she not only worked as a coach, but also worked as a martial arts actress in Hong Kong Island for a period of time.

"That's hard to say." Seeing the laptop screen that Xiao Wuge turned over, Wu Bing shook his head.

Seeing that the rumors outside did not attract the attention of partners, Xiao Wuge asked: "How is the news going with Dan?"

"There is no specific response yet, but it is normal for their company to contact Oaktree Capital. Dan heard from them that the two sides had contact as early as when they acquired Liverpool Group."

Wu Bing, who was responsible for conveying information among the three, signaled his friend not to be so nervous.

Listen to the wind and hear the words.

Although she knew where Xiao Wuge got his information from and had her own vast network of contacts to back him up, she was not far behind either.

In addition to being busy with the company's entertainment layout recently, she is also relying on her own connections and seeking to be on CCTV's high-end talk show to try to reverse the reputation crisis caused by DMG Media's recent lawsuit.

"But I heard that they have received a lot of money from Samsung recently." Xiao Wuge frowned.

He was really worried.

Coincidentally, the amount of money that was found out is almost the same as the amount when DMG was acquired by China Media Group.

In addition, since the last meeting with Xiang Yang and Ding Zhong, there has been no follow-up on any advertising projects either on their side or on the side of their competitors.

How could there be such a coincidence in this world?

"You must know that they have several projects coming up soon." Wu Bing couldn't understand why Xiao Wuge kept harping on this point.

Why would Hermès acquire a media company for no reason?

From a business perspective, it does not need such a Chinese company to improve its own publicity system.

In China, people have their own advertising agencies.

Acquiring an advertising and media company is a complete waste of time.

But it would be fine if we didn't talk about this. When Xiao Wuge mentioned the popularity of Hermès Film Investment Company in Hollywood these days, he felt envious and even more uneasy.

Originally, after they were the agent for the distribution of "Resident Evil 4", they were preparing to participate in the project "Resident Evil 5" for further transformation of the company, but suddenly there was no news.

Here we are, together again.

When he said that, Wu Bing was stunned, as if it was indeed too much of a coincidence.

"How about you give Liu Xixi a call and ask her out for dinner? How about we feel the situation out?"

Thinking that Xiao Wuge had Liu Qianqian's contact information, Wu Bing asked tentatively.

She heard it.

This actress is so cute in Xiangyang.

Originally, if we could successfully obtain the resources of "Resident Evil 5", we would have planned to give these resources to Liu Qianqian.

Used to win over.

It's not a bad idea to use this as an excuse to have dinner with her and get some information at the same time.

What kind of brain can a female star have no matter how smart she is?

Wu Bing, who is used to smooth sailing in the business world, really doesn't think Liu Qianqian is as praised by the domestic media.

She felt that it was just luck.

"Okay, then I'll make a call and make an appointment." Xiao Wuge nodded.

He also saw many comments praising Liu Qianqian.

I think it's a bit exaggerated.

He has come into contact with many celebrities and famous directors.

Especially the ones from Huayi
