Chapter 356: There will be no peace as soon as the Year of the Tiger begins (please vote for me!)
On a bright sunny day, Xiangyang arrived in New York.
As soon as he left the airport, he was a little surprised.
The moment he noticed Xiang Yang’s doubts, Musk came over with a smile on his face.
“Xiang, long time no see.”
"I didn't expect to see you here." Xiang Yang nodded with a smile.
“He said that we are partners now and we have to get together.” Little John, who sounded slightly teasing to Musk, shrugged.
“Partner?”
“Bitcoin.”
Musk revealed the answer in a low voice.
Hearing this, Xiang Yang nodded. If he said that, what he had expected before was correct.
No wonder this guy has stood up for Bitcoin several times in the future.
After getting in the car and chatting, I realized that instead of being a partner, I was clearly a competitor!
This guy bought thousands of dollars in Bitcoin.
On my side, I haven’t even collected the $100.
"A lot of people are buying it, and I'm not the only one of your competitors."
Musk, who knows the currency circle better than Xiangyang, has a smile on his face.
Xiang Yang smiled, "It's okay, I'm not greedy."
"Yes, we are just having fun."
Although Little John was driving the car. Speaking to Musk, his eyes glanced at Xiangyang.
Musk didn’t mind either, because he was also looking at Xiangyang.
"Let's play together?"
"Of course."
Xiang Yang agreed without thinking too much.
Although Bitcoin is worth tens of thousands of dollars each in the future, someone must be willing to take over it.
This thing seems to fluctuate quite a lot.
With Xiang Yang’s character, he would not watch the sales one by one by himself.
Besides, being able to speculate in coins with Musk is also a good choice.
This matter is related to my own small treasury.
“By the way, I heard that WhatsApp, which you recently invested in, has made a lot of moves.”
"It's okay, I'm not very involved in daily operations."
"That's good."
Musk said with a smile.
Unprofessional people invest money in professional fields and do not interfere with the operations of professional companies on the premise of protecting their own vital interests.
There is also a certain far-sightedness. It is difficult not to be admired by people who praise their fields in this way.
"The development prospects of your community app are also very good."
"Yes, indeed."
Xiang Yang hesitated: "Is your Tesla community ready?"
"Still under construction," Musk explained patiently: "Your community app has brought me a lot of innovative ideas, and I want to try to improve it based on it."
< br>Xiang Yang said "hmm".
After all, he is not a technology major, and the programmers who built the community app for H.Y.S and the people responsible for operations are not future masters in this field.
If Xiang Yang hadn’t paid so much attention to it, whether the team recruited by Axel could realize it would have been a question.
However, even so, H.Y.S Community App is still eye-catching.
Musk, who has a full understanding of this aspect, will of course unconsciously give this credit to Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang smiled and accepted the praise from the future richest man, "I don't know much. Technology is also a part of fashion, but it is more prominent because of my personal hobbies."
"That's true."
Musk agreed with Xiang Yang's words.
H.Y.S is imbued with Xiang Yang’s personal style from the inside out.
In 2010, not every outdoor brand equipped every high-end outdoor jacket, ski jacket, and down jacket with a rescue receiver.
This receiver is passive and is a passive signal reflection device.
It is not a GPS, but a passive receiver invented by a Swedish company called RECCO.
It will only respond when the corresponding detector is working.
Of course, it is not as magical as what is posted on the Internet. It does not mean that if you wear clothes with such a reflective device, others will be able to monitor you all the time.
It only comes into play under special circumstances.
This situation is exactly what outdoor enthusiasts need.
It is often hung as a separate button on a mountaineering bag.
H.Y.S sews it directly into the clothes, making it a safety guarantee that every outdoor athlete can have.
In comparison, other brands require additional payment to purchase this kind of separate security protection.
In comparison, although H.Y.S’s clothes are expensive, they are very conscientious.
During dinner, Xiangyang and Musk kept talking freely about the changes this technology has brought to human life. Little John couldn't get in the middle of the conversation and just focused on the big customers.
He didn't speak until Musk left.
"Xiang, don't be fooled by him. I heard that he is very short of money now." Little John said with a sullen face.
“He is short of money?”
“I heard from others that they are going to build a new factory and are applying for a loan of 500 million US dollars, and are still conducting debt financing.”
“That’s it”
Xiangyang couldn't get out the 500 million yuan loan. But debt financing
It would be great if the debt could be directly exchanged for shares.
Xiang Yang, who knows the potential of Tesla’s future development, really doesn’t want to miss this opportunity.
Naihe’s family’s financial power has been handed over.
Even the sales dividends and bonuses during the New Year's Eve period are in Liu Qianqian's hands.
He only knows a specific number.
Xiang Yang yawned when he thought that Liu Qianqian had spent most of the money according to the previous investment plan and only had one or two million in cash on hand.
This little money is not enough to put food between my teeth.
"You're not really thinking about it, are you." Seeing Xiangyang thinking deeply, Little John hesitated.
"How is that possible? I have no time to think about this."
He said something perfunctory against his will, and Xiangyang was too lazy to dwell on this topic anymore.
In the evening, Axel also arrived in New York.
He was accompanied by the person in charge of Hermès North America and the event promotion team.
They expressed a warm welcome to the arrival of brand creative director Xiang Yang
At 8 a.m. the next day, H.Y.S’s eye-catching black logo on a white background appeared on the electronic projection screen in Times Square, New York.
In the open-air square, a dense crowd of people came to participate in the on-site activities regardless of the cold.
There are many reporters.
For this event, H.Y.S specially invited Alexandra Raisman, Simone Biles, Nastya Liu Kim, Madison Kocian and many other gymnasts.
Although the reputation of these gymnasts cannot be compared with the well-known American football, baseball, and basketball players.
However, at the event site, the indoor and outdoor sports enthusiasts who came to participate in this large-scale event were still blushing with excitement and cheering to cheer for the event.
Unlike them, the reporter focused all his attention on Xiang Yang, who attended the event with Axel and other senior executives.
Compared to those gymnasts, he is a topical figure of his own.
In order to cooperate with the brand's activities, Xiang Yang also responded to the media reporters' photo requests in front of the camera, and the corners of his smiling mouth were never idle
At the same time, 706 Madison Avenue, New York The store next to it is still under renovation.
706 Madison Avenue is the flagship store of Hermès in New York.
H.Y.S’s store covers an area of about 900 square meters, which is exactly half of the Hermès flagship store.
This is also one of H.Y.S’s most successful flagship stores.
The other more eye-catching flagship stores are Shanghai and Tokyo Ginza.
As the first batch of stores opened by H.Y.S, the stores on Hong Kong Island are a bit small and pitiful, only about 600 square meters
This cannot be blamed on Xiang Yang or Axel, who makes Hong Kong Island so precious?
The event in New York had just ended, and Axel looked sad after receiving a call from France. He pulled Xiang Yang aside and said in Xiang Yang's ear:
"Xiang, I can't accompany you to Shanghai."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"My uncle has some health problems." Sighing, Axel said with a worried look on his face.
Xiang Yang was a little surprised when he heard this.
As the global CEO of Hermès, Patrick has always had health problems, as anyone who knows a little bit about the inside story will know.
"When I was having a meeting at the company, I saw that he was in good spirits."
Xiang Yang thought for a while and said.
“It may be related to the acquisition of LVMH Group. You know, he has been worried about this matter.”
Axel finished speaking helplessly and called Little John over.
As the company's top management and the leader of the next generation of Hermès, Axel knows more information than Xiang Yang, or to be precise, he cares more about it.
At the same time, he also knew who among the top managers participating in the event today were his.
Although Xiangyang has shares in Hermès Film Investment Company, to be honest, this is a branch after all.
Even the creative director of Fuxian works with money.
As for Little John, in any case, in addition to having a good friend like Xiang Yang, he also has a father, JCE, who is in charge of the Hermès perfume series.
Xiang Yang was stunned for a while and comforted: "I believe Patrick can survive the difficulty."
"Then leave the rest to me. Don't worry, take care of your side first. "It's important."
"Well."
"Don't worry, Axel, I happen to be in the same place as Xiang because of my movie business."
"Yeah."
Axel stared at Little John for a while before nodding.
On the night after the event, after visiting the details of the New York store, Axel boarded the flight back to Paris.
When he left New York, Little John, who dragged his exhausted body back to the hotel, followed Xiang Yang into his friend's room with a mysterious look on his face.
As soon as he entered, he carefully closed the door and said:
"Xiang, I just had a phone call with my dad."
Xiang Yang thought to himself, as expected, Little John will never change.
You should also ask his father about this kind of thing.
"Patrick's health is not very good. My dad asked us to keep a low profile as much as possible recently." Little John said softly, "Pierre is a little preoccupied with himself."
Xiang Yang pretended not to hear. , took out two bottles of mineral water from the refrigerator and threw one to Little John, then he found a sofa to sit on.
Low-key
He has always been very low-key.
Even when the event was being interviewed by reporters, he expressed his own views on the event itself.
No comment on the Oscars.
The really high-profile person should be Little John who is chattering endlessly.
Taking advantage of Little John's break to drink water, Xiang Yang asked: "Hasn't Hermès' stock been rising recently? Hasn't LVMH Group given up?"
"How could it be possible to give up."
Little John rolled his eyes at Xiang Yang.
He just couldn’t understand who gave him the courage to deal with those big liars in the technology world with his friend’s brain.
“Fortunately, Liu is not like him. ”
Taking his own bottle of water and sitting next to Xiang Yang, Little John looked like someone who had come before:
“You don’t need to think too much about this kind of thing, it’s not our place to get involved. In this regard, you should follow Liu learns from it, you see, she and Laura just take care of things that they need to take responsibility for."
"Well, when did I say that I was going to take care of it?"
"."
