Chapter 261: The pain in my heart cannot be expressed (please subscribe!)
In Paris, after signing the confirmation document from the financial department, Axel felt very happy.
1.17 million US dollars, not much, but quite a lot.
Because this is the first time he has made money since he was in charge of the film investment project team.
5% of the global box office share may not seem like much, but according to the current box office, 5% of US$200 million is US$10 million.
This greatly relieved the pressure that had accumulated on him before. When he invested the money, he was not in charge of the project team, and it was Chairman Pierre who made the decision.
Axel, who was in joy, suddenly frowned. "Black Swan" was not him. "Downton Abbey" was at least 1/4 of him. Realizing this problem, he rubbed it. chin.
"Xiang, when will he come back? I want to have a good chat with him about the next work."
Thinking that this investment was made by Xiang Yang, Axel decided We have to put extra burden on Xiangyang.
Having served as a French store director, he specially collected some recent stores. When customers came, they expressed their views on Hermès sponsoring the movie "Midnight in Paris". The vast majority of customers felt that this was novel to them. , and gave positive reviews.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have given him such a long vacation."
Looking at the calendar, he found that Xiangyang had two days before his vacation would end. Axel couldn't help but feel that he was being too generous this time.
He got up, packed up the documents, took them out of his office, and went to his uncle Patrick's office
"Liu, take a look at this."< br>
“I originally wanted to transfer 20% of the shares of this company to you, but”
After dinner, Xiangyang was washing dishes with Liu Xiaoli. Little John quietly pulled Liu Qianxi to the side, took out a document bag from his briefcase and handed it to him.
The matter has been communicated on the phone, but he is not at ease.
According to his inner calculation, the reason why he wanted to hold Liu Qianqian back about the website was because he wanted to use her to tie Xiang Yang up.
After so many years, he knew very well the guy who was washing dishes while chatting and laughing with his future mother-in-law.
If this relationship is not straightened out, in the end this company will be like T.J. Xiangyang will not be careful in its management. And the other party always has an excuse to procrastinate, always opening and closing his mouth when there are more important things to do.
But the key is, which thing is not important?
The tutu of "Black Swan" is important.
The costumes of "Downton Abbey" are important.
The special edition jersey agreed with Chelsea is also important. There are also previous big shows and movie promotions.
Little John is very helpless about this. He also knows that Xiangyang will be happy after returning to France. He was even busier, but no matter how busy he was, he knew that only one person could attract the busy Xiang Yang's special attention.
That's what happened to Liu Qianqian.
“I’ve been close to him for so many years, but he’s not as good as this woman he’s only known for half a year. Forget it, I still want to make her happy.”
Little John with a smile on his face. , when Liu Qianqian picked up the contract and read it carefully, she couldn't help but tease Liu Qianqian to comfort his hurt heart.
"Little John, is 20% too much?"
After reading the contract carefully, Liu Qianqian's face was full of worries, and she didn't think too much about it. Take advantage of this.
She lent the money to the other party solely because Little John was a good friend of Xiang Yang.
"You are such an angel." Hearing that Liu Qianqian thought it was too much, Little John snickered. He wouldn't mind if he was given less shares.
"Angel? What angel? Victoria's Secret Angel?"
After washing the dishes in the kitchen, Xiang Yang, who walked out with Liu Xiaoli, interrupted the conversation between the two at an untimely appearance. It's strange how the two of them came to talk about angels.
“No, I just praised Liu.”
Xiang Yang said "Oh", came to the coffee table, picked up two cups, filled Liu Xiaoli's cup with tea in the teapot, and then poured it to himself, "There is no problem with the contract. I asked the lawyer to read it. If you agree , I’ll just sign.”
“You not only have to sign, but you also have to work.” Little John looked a little excited when he heard Xiang Yang say it so casually.
"I know, wait until I finish the important things in front of me first."
"You will be damned when you finish your work."
" Do you think I have any free time recently? ”
"When will you stop being idle? Have you made the Chelsea uniforms? Do you know how much the other party is looking forward to this business!"
"I think your expectations are pretty good."
"I"
Little John was speechless, how could he not look forward to it! This is authorized by the Premier League club, and he hopes to use this to give his business website a nearly perfect start.
Then rely on the cooperation model with Chelsea to find other clubs to negotiate.
Everything is stuck here.
"Okay, stop arguing!" Seeing Xiang Yang and Little John arguing again, Liu Qianqian stood up and shouted.
While the tortoise was watching the mung beans, Xiang Yang and Little John, who were wide-eyed and small-eyed, instantly turned their heads to Liu Qianqian and said in unison: "We didn't quarrel!"
"." Liu Qianqian was stunned. .
Liu Xiaoli, who picked up the teacup, took a sip and sighed helplessly.
Today's young people are really
one by one. They can't understand or figure it out, and they are not allowed to talk about it. "Forget it, as their elder, I'd better mediate for them." Putting the tea cup on the table, Liu Xiaoli cleared her throat in the awkward atmosphere and said to the three of them:
"You guys, sit down and have a good chat. We are all good friends who work together."
After a while, Xiang Yang drank tea leisurely, and Liu Qianqian patiently listened to Little John's complaints about Xiang Yang.
Xiangyang couldn't listen to a word Little John said.
As for the grievances mentioned, didn’t I just take a vacation and come back to deal with major life issues? I have given up my job and stopped working.
Besides, the jersey design has been delayed. You, Little John, didn’t ask for it yourself. You insist on having some Song Jin elements in it.
There is such a good combination between the two.
And Liu Qianqian’s expression also became sarcastic as Little John cried.
Staring at the cracks in the floor tiles of her home, she felt ashamed and wanted to get in because Xiangyang had been surrounding her recently, and she felt proud of it, "How about Xiangyang, after you go to see my dad, go back to France as soon as possible. Okay, okay.”
“Huh?”
Xiang Yang was stunned, why did you ask me to go back early, not together?
“Xiang, I’m angry with you, not because you have holidays and I don’t, but because you can’t focus all your attention on Hermès. You are the major shareholder of T.J. You have to think more about us. "
Seizing the opportunity when Xiang Yang was silent, and taking advantage of Liu Qianqian to speak for him, Little John's tone became tougher.
Xiang Yang frowned before he had time to think about anything else, and said to Little John: "Things have to be done bit by bit, don't rush into it.
Just like the team uniform you mentioned, it's not that I don't have ideas. The key to whether it can be realized does not depend on me, can you understand?"
"What does it depend on?"
"It depends on whether Song Jin can realize my design idea."
< br>Xiang Yang glanced at Little John teasingly and asked Liu Qianqian: "Do you have paper and pen? Lend me some."
"Where's the one I gave you?" Liu Qianqian frowned in confusion.
“.”
As soon as she said these words, Liu Xiaoli felt that she could not sit still. At this moment, she suddenly understood that Little John had complaints about the child Xiangyang. Who is busy all day long, but the key person is only thinking about falling in love
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
I found colored pencils and a stack of A4 paper from the storage cabinet in the attic. Xiangyang took them and found a quiet room with Little John.
When Liu Qianxi brought the coffee prepared for the two of them, a Chelsea emblem that impressed her had already appeared on the paper.
The emblem of each club is actually the history of a football club.
A small badge can tell many stories.
For example, the 'Blue Lion' that is most familiar to everyone, in fact, it did not appear on the team emblem of Chelsea Club when it was founded in 1905, but it was not until 1953 that it became the Chelsea team for the first time. important elements of the emblem.
Since then, this mighty lion has also evolved differently. It was not until the 100th anniversary of Chelsea's establishment in 2005 that it returned to what it was more than 50 years ago, and it has been used since 2006.
The significance of this lion is to show the relationship between the club and the Cadogan family, a prominent family in Chelsea, whose coat of arms has a lion pattern.
Earl Henry Cadogan of the Cadogan family once served as the chairman of the club. This nobleman also held the title of Viscount Chelsea. It was under his leadership that the Chelsea Club began to use the symbol representing Cadogan. Root family blue.
The scepter held by the lion represents the Dean of Westminster Abbey.
During the Middle Ages, this area of Chelsea was owned by Westminster Abbey, and there was a red football and a red Tudor rose on the left and right sides of the lion.
As the name suggests, this football represents a football club.
And this rose has a lot to say.
"Rose" is the representative of England. Its earliest appearance can be traced back to the "War of the Roses" in the 15th century several centuries ago, so the rose represents England.
The representative flower of Northern Ireland is sorrel, the representative flower of Scotland is thistle, and the national flower of Wales is daffodil.
Only these four kinds of flowers gathered together represent the British kings covering these four regions.
“No wonder it’s so difficult to design.” Liu Qianqian felt like she had more ‘useless little knowledge’ in her mind.
On the side, listening to Xiang Yang calmly describing the information contained in this small team badge, Little John also calmed down, knowing that Xiang Yang was not lazy, but really understood these things systematically. Finally, he asked:
"So? You know all this, why don't you do it?"
"It's not because of you!" Xiangyang rolled his eyes at Little John angrily. .
Initially, when he took the job, he didn’t find it difficult to design a team emblem with Chinese elements.
After all, how old is your ‘Blue Lion’?
The 'stone lions' that are common in many scenic spots in China have been around since the Han Dynasty. Or are they a symbol of auspiciousness and have a history not older than yours?
Apart from the 'Stone Lion', the 'Lion Dance', which is mostly known in Chinatowns overseas, can also be traced back to the Northern Wei Dynasty 1500 years ago, and is still older than the 'Blue Lion' More.
But these Chinese elements, which could have been used at will, became complicated with the addition of Song Jin.
Whether it is color matching, layering, or the use of Chinese elements, you have to consider more things to better reflect Song Brocade.
“Jin, gold, plays the most important role. Its price is as high as gold, so the word comes from gold and silk.”
Xiangyang did not want to come up with a random design, but hoped to start with "it" and let young Chinese people who love football notice how colorful this brocade contains the stories that China has inherited for thousands of years.
But it is not that easy to capture the hearts of young people.
