American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 195: The Golden Cabbage

Paris, 7th arrondissement, high-end residential area beside the Seine River.

"Lydia, you stinky bitch!" Antoine angrily threw the cup in his hand away.

"Who does she think she is? We are one of the most important clients of Hearst Group! Without us throwing bones, these dogs can only eat shit! I'm going to make them eat shit now. Starting this year, LV refuses to place advertisements on all media platforms under Hearst Group unless this bitch comes over here and licks my toes!" Antoine said angrily.

"Honey, even if you stop advertising, your sister will only be happy to take the vacancy left by LV, or a competitor like Gucci! You will end up losing more than you gain by doing so." The woman sitting next to her was not frightened by Antoine's fury, but spoke with a smile.

This is true. In fact, the number of fashion magazines with large circulation and popularity in multiple markets around the world can be counted on one hand.

This woman is not Antoine's wife, but CK's long-term spokesperson, a female model named Natalia Vodianova. She shot an advertisement for LV last year and met Antoine on the set. She is not only a young model, but also the British Viscountess Portman. Don't underestimate her as she is just a viscount. Since the House of Lords Act of 1999, only 92 hereditary nobles have retained their seats. Portman is one of them, and it has been passed down for ten generations.

Antoine had slept with countless models, but never the wife of a hereditary viscount, which made him even more excited.

Natalia Vodianova also admired the prince of LVMH, and the two hit it off immediately. Although they each had a family, in the eyes of the romantic French, this was a unique little interest. This kind of life has lasted for half a year, and Natalia even moved directly to Paris. The progress of their relationship was rapid. With Lydia standing on Ryan's side, Natalia and Antoine's relationship became even stronger.

“Even if this fails, what can you lose? You can’t lose anything. You have unlimited opportunities to compete with him. If you succeed once, you will hurt him seriously. If you succeed twice, he will fall to the bottom. And he, even if he beats you countless times, it will be useless. This is the gap between you and him.” Natalia picked up the wine glass, shook it gently twice, slowly raised the glass to her lips, and left a red lip print on the rim of the glass. The whole process looked extremely elegant.

Even though she was still helping her mother sell fruits on the street at the age of eleven, and even though she ran away from home at the age of fifteen and experienced the ups and downs of life, none of these affected her role as an elegant noble lady at this moment.

"Hearing what you said, I feel much better, but this matter cannot be let go. Even if I don't fall out with the Hearst Group, I can still put pressure on the Hearst Group. As for Ryan, I have to find out his background and then make further plans." Antoine pondered.

"Why bother to confront him directly? You just need to move your fingers a few times, and the people around him will not be able to stand it, and then they will naturally take the initiative to ask for peace with you." Natalia changed her mind.

"You mean the young model for Dior? What was her name?" Antoine pretended to recall.

"Karlie Kloss, she and Ryan have a good relationship, maybe they have never been apart. Celebrity couples will do anything to make money."

"Let's start with her. I'll remove her from the modeling industry first!" Antoine took out his cell phone and called a senior executive of Dior directly.

Although he is not responsible for any specific affairs of Dior, he is a member of the board of directors of LVMH. The transfer of senior personnel needs to be approved by the board of directors, and it is very easy to fire a model.

"Don't mention it... She has a close relationship with Ryan. According to the group's confidentiality agreement, such a person is very dangerous. What if she leaks our internal publicity plan? That's right, she must be fired. That's it." Antoine hung up the phone.

"This is just the first step. If Ryan still doesn't give in, the next step is to start with Karlie Kloss's agency and dig up some dirty laundry on her. Even if we can't find any, the worst that can happen is we can hire some people to kidnap her and then film a live video of her." Natalia pretended to think about it, and her tone was very calm when she said this.

"Don't do this. You're not harming her. Instead, you're helping her. Based on past experience, doing this will make her completely famous. Americans are all a bunch of idiots." Antoine shook his head. The incident with Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian was still fresh in his mind.

At this time, Natalia handed over the wine glass, and just turned the side with the red lips to Antoine...

Dior headquarters.

"In fact, Ryan started to contact you today, but was rejected by the people in the office meeting." The secretary reported.

"When did it happen?" Delphine asked hurriedly.

"When we first got to work today, this guy said you would look for him. The staff thinks he is mentally ill," the secretary continued.

"Really? Contact him now. I really want to have a good chat with him." Delphine vaguely guessed why Ryan took the initiative to call.

A few minutes later, Ryan got connected.

"Before we start the formal conversation, I want to ask you why you called me." Delphine said. "I need to seek protection." The person on the other end of the phone said very frankly.

"How do you know I will protect you? He's my brother. You messed with my brother and still want me to protect you. What will my father think of me?" Delphine said immediately.

"From the way your father appointed you two, it seems that he didn't intentionally favor either of you. Instead, he wanted you to compete with each other. And I didn't instigate this matter. Your father will only think that Antoine is an idiot who can't even run a niche brand from scratch," Ryan said.

"And, most importantly, you and Antoine are direct competitors."

"In fact, father has said that after he retires, the five of us will jointly manage the group and have equal voting rights on the board of directors." Delphine included her ten-year-old brother in the list. Her father did think so.

"I don't have a large family business to inherit, so I naturally don't understand the ins and outs of it. But I know that you and Antoine both aspire to become the main heirs. This is a chain of suspicion. You can never be sure what the other person is thinking deep down, so you can only strike first. Antoine thinks so too." Ryan continued.

Delphine sneered: "Sometimes, being too smart is not a good thing. No one dares to use such a guy with confidence."

"I'm just a pawn, and I don't expect to be valued by you." Ryan laughed.

"You are self-aware."

"I need a guarantee, or a signal, a signal not to escalate the conflict," Ryan said.

"Then what can you give me?"

"A nice uppercut, enough to dislocate Antoine's jaw - I will share the profits of the stray with Dior, in short, it's a joint venture."

This star actually thought the same thing as me, Delphine's mouth curled up. She even felt a little sympathy for Ryan.

The father's attitude was very clear. He didn't know what was wrong with Antoine, this idiot, that he actually wanted to take the initiative to provoke. If he could win over Stary, it would be a great achievement.

Delphine doesn't realize that Lydia has put Ryan and Antoine at odds with each other.

Although her goal was achieved, she still tried to shirk responsibility: "You just accused LV, and now you're working with Dior again. Do you really think I'm stupid? I was dragged into the war by you."

"This is not a war. I said it was the other party who started it. To be precise, the war will officially begin when Starry and Dior complete the joint venture. As long as we can win this battle, you can deal a heavy blow to Antoine."

"By the way, you can make a lot of money," Delphine continued.

"You have to spend the money you earn. If you need it, you can take it all in your own name." Ryan said without hesitation.

"Then you should keep the money. I'm just an employee of the group. Besides, you're a talented designer who has been personally certified by Anna Wintour, so it's only right that we recruit you," said Delphine.

"Then keep this money with me for now. It's available for you to use whenever you need it!" Ryan continued.

For Ryan, it doesn't matter if he uses all the money as protection fee. If Delphine doesn't care about this little money, then he will make a huge profit. Dior is one of the three top luxury brands after Hermes. The fact that Stary can collaborate with Dior means that the poor boy married the only daughter of a rich man - getting something for nothing.

Delphine did not dwell on this matter, but slowly said: "Happy cooperation."

　　The two big brothers are so kind. Big Brother Zhuoyang is still helping to increase the number of rewards. Rem, thank you very much. (These few days may have two chapters in the early morning and two chapters in the afternoon. Because I don’t have any manuscripts saved now, I thought I would post them directly so that everyone can see them earlier.)
