Chapter 180 Is the surname ‘Liu’ or ‘An’? (Please subscribe!)
A few days after the media reported that Liu Qianqian participated in Gaultier’s personal show and the three luxury goods giants.
Designers who have returned to work are even busier.
The big shows in the past few days are not for nothing. Many people are changing their designs and making adjustments for the spring and summer ready-to-wear fashion week at the end of September.
At the same time, the high-end jewelry series hosted by Axel is also in full progress.
As the commercial director of the jewelry department, he has obtained a lot of information about Xiang Yang since he started to really deal with Xiang Yang.
Having worked in Shangjing, China, for two years, he felt frightened when he read the report.
No wonder JCE keeps little John by Xiangyang’s side.
This is his first sense.
BNP Paribas is an investment and commercial bank.
Having worked as a senior executive of this commercial bank in both Beijing and New York, he was keenly aware of Xiangyang's precise control of the market's future.
After communicating with JCE, the ideas in his mind were similar to JCE.
“I’ve never wanted to work in an investment bank. I’m an underachiever.” After sighing, Axel felt that something was wrong with what he said. He has such a business acumen and is good at design, but he doesn’t have his own personal brand. .
This is specially prepared for Hermès.
Although the heads of luxury brands do not object to their design directors running personal brands at the same time, there is no doubt that they prefer that their employees devote more creative energy and talents to the brands they control. Clothing online.
"Ring, ring, ring"
The phone on the desk rang, and Axel, who was interrupted from his meditation, couldn't help but frown.
"Who is this? I'm Axel."
His tone was normal when he picked up the phone.
"Director, could you please come to the store downstairs?"
A gentle lady's voice sounded, a voice that was familiar to Axel. As the director of the French store, he is very familiar with the store manager of the Paris headquarters store who he has been dealing with since returning to Hermès.
"Camille, what can I do?"
Holding the phone, Axel smiled.
“Of course, the Liu who took a photo with you at the party a few days ago accompanied a lady to the store to shop. I saw the Asian holding the Himalayan we just released last year, and invited her to VIP area.
Then a shopping guide who used to work on Hong Kong Island recognized her and said she was one of our VIC customers in the Hong Kong Island area, spending a lot of money.”
After listening to a long paragraph, Axel, who had already stood up, finally understood.
He didn't care at all about the people behind him. There were VICs like this who came to the main store every day. What he cared about was what the Paris store manager said about Liu.
"You can receive him in person, I'll be down right away."
Hang up the phone, and before going out, Axel checked his clothes.
He was thinking about how to thank Liu for his performance at the party a few days ago, but the other party came directly to his door.
As he walked out the door, Axel stopped. With a smirk on his face, he directly ordered his assistant: "Go to the women's clothing design area. Please go to the store downstairs and say yes." The distinguished guests need to be received.”
“Okay, director.”
The young assistant nodded immediately.
My heart is silently mourning the difficulties faced by the designers.
The assistant who helped transfer the call knew that Axel came out in a hurry because an important customer came to the headquarters store below. She was sure that this customer had a good background, because he only spent money at Hermès every year. Only huge VIPs can enjoy the treatment of being accompanied by design directors and important designers when shopping.
It is not common for designers of high-end luxury brands to accompany VIPs, but it only happens occasionally.
In 2015, the daughter of Indonesian wealthy businessman Susinto spent 4 million US dollars to buy a wedding dress, and then introduced Raf Simon, one of the shyest 'little crybabies' known in the design circle. Si called over. (Rav Simons is well-known to Chinese people because of the wedding of AB Yang and Huang Xiaoming. The Dior haute couture she wore at the time was also designed as a "little cry bag". The price of the two clothes happened to be the exchange rate between the US dollar and the soft girl currency. . )
“You must come.”
Axel gave another instruction before going downstairs.
“Aunt Xiang, you know the bag here so well.”
"Sissi, your Aunt Xiang likes Hermès the most. It's not like you don't know."
Holding Liu Qianqian's hand, Mrs. Xiang, who had short hair and was dressed in luxurious clothes, had a happy smile on her face, and her eyes were full of joy. He stopped at the girl who more than 2 years ago could only take photos holding her arm.
Yes, in Xiangtai's eyes, Liu Qianqian is just a girl who has not grown up.
Liu Qianqian nodded slightly. She didn't think it was as simple as Xiang Tai coming to her just to ask her to accompany her to buy bags. However, she accompanied Xiang Tai to Hermès after dinner and shopping today, and did not call Xiang Yang.
She is not so resistant to the Hong Kong scene.
I had brief contact with some, and also learned some through Cheng Long. To be honest, if it weren't for Xiang Yang, she would have planned to take a break and learn more about the film resources in Hong Kong. Her mother Liu Xiaoli also helped her get in touch first, but everything was interrupted because of Xiang Yang's appearance.
Whether it is fashion resources or Hollywood resources, Xiang Yang has helped her a lot.
She doesn’t want to bother the other person with anything.
After all what happened to Master Xun that day, she noticed Xiang Yang’s sad expression.
She planned to contact the other party after shopping at Hermès and ask him to accompany her to have a meal with Xiang Tai.
In this way, it can be regarded as an appropriate publicity in one's own circle that one's famous wife has an owner.
I am already a ‘family member’.
Thinking of the word family, the smile on Liu Qianqian’s face couldn’t help but become a little sweeter.
"Ms. Xiang, Ms. Liu, please wait a moment. Our director heard that you are visiting the store and is making a special trip over here."
The shopping guide who was originally responsible for reception in the VIP lounge area After being called over by the store manager, they communicated for a while, then brought the store manager Camille to the two of them with a smile and explained.
"Oh, okay, no problem." Xiang Tai smiled, "Qian Qian is very proud."
"Xiang Tai, please stop making fun of me."
Liu Qian Qian He pursed his lips.
"Hey, your spending at Hermès, Xiangtai, won't alarm others." Xiangtai gently patted Liu Qianqian's hand and said with a smile on his face.
As for the reception rules of luxury stores, she is familiar with the reception rules of luxury stores. As she is not here to buy bags specifically, she doesn't really care about it.
It’s just that coming here is a good way to promote the relationship between the two parties and satisfy your favorite needs.
It’s just that she didn’t expect that this little girl would have such a big reputation.
Even if the store manager of the main store entertains him personally, even the director is alarmed. Although she didn't know which department she was the director of, Xiang Tai knew that it would be difficult to achieve this just by relying on her accumulated consumption at Hermès.
She has met people from the Hermès family, and she often attends events held by Hermès on Hong Kong Island.
She knew the rules of private hospitality and could not refer to those activities in front of the media.
There is an event and you rush to attend. As the host, they will naturally cooperate with you to take photos and take photos. By the way, they will say a few words to thank you for supporting Hermès for so many years. They will give you enough face in front of the media, so that You steal the show on your own doorstep.
But in the main store, it doesn’t matter whether people recognize you or not when you come.
After all, there are many super VIC customers among the people who come to the main store. If the reception threshold is not raised, then these senior executives will stop working and act as mascots at the door every day.
“Aunt Xiang.”
As soon as Liu Qianqian, who wanted to be polite, opened her mouth, Axel, dressed in a three-piece suit, appeared in her eyes.
Knowing the identity of the other party, she showed a slightly surprised expression on her face. Through Xiang Yang's introduction, she knew that the other party's name was not obvious, but he was the 'Prince' of Hermès.
"Liu, why didn't you inform me before you came?" Axel said, and came to the two of them. After greeting Liu Qianqian with a smile, he said to Xiang Tai in English :
“Hello, madam, I am Axel Dumas, commercial director of Hermès’ jewelry design department.”
“Hello, hello.”
Upon hearing the word Dumas, Xiang Tai's eyes lit up.
Dumas is Hermès, and Hermès is Dumas.
After briefly checking the other party’s Hermès consumption records and background, Axel expressed his apology politely, “I’m sorry, our ‘princess’ didn’t entertain me well and didn’t notify me in advance. Could you please "Don't mind our rudeness."
Hearing this, Xiang Tai was stunned. When she reacted, she kept saying "No, no," and at the same time, her lips almost opened, and she exclaimed Axe in her heart. The meaning of the word 'princess' on your lips.
‘Sissi’.
This was originally a title that was given to Liu Qianqian by media outlets such as China, Hong Kong Island, and Wanwan after the party that day for the sake of publicity.
It’s just a hype gimmick.
Unexpectedly, people from the Hermès family recognized it directly.
Oh, that’s right, this person was the person who attended the party on behalf of Hermès that day. Looking at Axel, Xiang Tai immediately remembered the person in the photo.
"Mrs. Xiang, do you have any favorite works?" Axel asked the store manager.
"Xiangtai prefers our leather goods." Camille said.
"Then let me introduce some of our limited editions to Mrs. Xiang. What do you think, Mrs. Xiang."
"Okay, that's the best."
When Xiang Tai heard about the limited edition, his heart skipped a beat, and he swallowed subconsciously.
If the Himalayan crocodile, which sells for 400,000 (soft sister coins) at the counter, requires a lot of money to buy it at an auction house, it is considered hard to find, then the limited edition mentioned by Axel The price is high, but the value may not be comparable to that of a Himalayan.
Because in addition to being expensive, true limited editions are unique.
How ‘unique’ can Hermès bags be?
A high-end dress set with diamonds can sell for millions of dollars, right? Then my bag should also be set with diamonds. Thus, the "One Thousand and One Nights" priced at nearly 4 million US dollars was born.
Of course, this specific style of bag is not displayed even in the main store.
While waiting for Xiang Yang to arrive, the first thing Axel took out was Teddy Kelly, the 2006 model.
One is designed by Gaultier and is made of sheepskin Teddy.
As soon as this bag was taken out, Xiangtai, who deeply loves Hermès leather goods, had only two words in his mind: "Buy it!"
Then there are the elusive peacock feather Kelly, Pigeon feather Kelly, pink feather Kelly, out-of-print buffalo leather Kelly
Just when Xiang Tai’s heart was racing for these bags that could not be seen in Asian counters.
Xiang Yang was still in his office, still arguing with Axel's assistant.
"Xiang, Axel said, you must go down. Please cooperate with my work, please. After all, a very distinguished guest is visiting, otherwise he wouldn't invite you down, right?" < br>
“That’s right, I don’t have the qualifications to go there yet.” Little John, who was drinking coffee in Xiangyang’s office, teased.
"Then you go, I have to be busy with work." Xiang Yang shook his head, his voice was very steady.
The design director cooperates with the reception of distinguished guests. Why should I be a design director?
Besides, Hermès gives designers the right to refuse such a thing.
Holding his design sketch, he shrugged at Xiang Yang who had finished making the pattern and then frowned at Axel's assistant.
Axel’s assistant said nothing, thinking about how to persuade him.
Seeing her standing still, staring at him with her mouth pouted, Xiang Yang let out a long sigh.
Women who can act coquettishly have a good life!
Xiang Yang, who couldn't bear to embarrass the little girl anymore, put his sketch on the desk and picked up his coat.
"Who is it?" After complaining, he decided to kill the rich woman who came to the store today. "No one who comes to Hermès and needs to be entertained by a designer will walk out standing!"
"Yes, call her over to show off how rich she is!" Little John clapped and cheered Xiangyang up.
“I don’t know either.” Axel’s assistant finished speaking softly and waved her fist at Xiang Yang. With a smile on her face, she wished she could squeeze Xiang Yang’s shoulders like a boxer’s assistant, “Xiang Yang , you have to work hard."
"Haha, whenever I give her a smile, I will give her the last name."
