Chapter 487 Men know men best
August 25.
Xiang Yang returned home early.
Liu Qianqian’s birthday was very casual, but you must attend.
In the evening, except for the rare Principal An, Zhao Xin finally returned from the UK.
Laura also attended the dinner party that night with her little Jojo with carefully selected gifts. In the atmosphere where the three little guys gathered together without crying, everyone had a great time eating happily.
During the dinner, Xiang Yang was even coaxed into singing "I'myyours" in front of everyone.
After having a good meal and wine, the father-in-law naturally wanted to take his son-in-law and have a good chat.
Although Principal An is busy in school every day, when we chat with Xiang Yang, we learn that he surfs the Internet a lot.
He knows a lot of domestic news better than he does.
"Zhang Manyu and Xu Qing were also invited to attend." Looking at the report on his mobile phone, Xiang Yang suddenly felt a sense of surprise.
Finally, at this year’s Paris Fashion Week, we can see Chinese entertainment stars with different styles.
I'm tired of always having Fan Xiaopang and Zhou Xun.
Zhang Manyu is so good, she has a soft and oriental femininity.
Xu Qing is the representative of the temperament of a lady, with a gentleness in her bones that makes people take one look at her, and her soul will follow her.
The two
indifferent Xiang Yang said that it was best not to run into each other, otherwise everyone would feel uncomfortable while socializing.
Seeing his son-in-law's stunned tone, Principal An asked curiously: "You don't even pay attention to these?"
Xiang Yang was very depressed: "Dad, I'm busy."< br>
"Well, you've been busy lately." Principal An commented casually, then asked: "Are you also going to the Chanel show?"
"Ah, of course." Xiang Yang was stunned, with a puzzled look on his face, "Why, dad has started to care about fashion week too?"
"That's not true." Principal An's expression seemed to be concealing it. What.
"Dad! You don't mean to." Suddenly realizing that Xu Qing was invited by Chanel, Xiang Yang almost jumped up from the sofa.
Good guy, my father-in-law actually wants to be a thief!
No, no, is Xu Qing married now?
Xiang Yang couldn't figure it out and wanted to send a text message to Zhuo Wei to ask.
"What are you talking about!" Principal An looked at Xiang Yang angrily and defended: "I'm just curious about what actresses like Sissi do when they are invited to participate in the fashion week."
Xiang Yang didn't believe this. He joked: "What can we do? How about I take my father-in-law to see you?"
"It's not impossible." A smile appeared on Principal An's face.
"Actually, there's not much to see. I guess you won't be able to see her if I take you there." Xiang Yang clapped his fingers, "First of all, she may not necessarily be sitting with you when she arrives. ”
"Second, there are many VIP customers in the venue, and she has to cooperate in taking photos."
"Third, no matter how good-looking she is, her mismatched clothes will not be as perfect as you think, so..."
"The clothes don't match? Didn't you pick them randomly?" Principal An frowned. He remembered that his daughter had participated in fashion week before and posted photos online.
The rows of clothes feel like they cost nothing.
"How is it possible? Basically, the brand is responsible for the outfits. The stars will wear whichever clothes they give them." Xiangyang said with a smile: "Just pick it, it depends on the brand. Relationships are not about wrists.”
I wanted to be impressed, but unexpectedly, Principal An became even more puzzled after hearing his explanation, "Then why does Fan Xiaopang wear such exaggerated clothes these few times?"
"."
Xiang Yang's expression became a little weird, isn't this talking to death?
“Dad, I’m talking about the general situation. Most designers and brands don’t like celebrities to be too showy at shows. After all.”
After all, he is just a “salesperson” .
Xiang Yang, who almost said the wrong thing, coughed a few times before swallowing the words back.
Seeing his embarrassment, Principal An shook his head.
"Dad, drink water." Xiang Yang pursed his lips in embarrassment.
Principal An picked up the cup and sipped the green tea he brought leisurely, "I asked you to take me there because I wanted to get used to it in advance. During China Week, we still have to invite some celebrities to attend."< br>
Xiang Yang laughed and ignored him.
Principal An taught with sincerity: "Xiao Xiang, this is the first time that China Week is held. I have asked my colleagues in charge of external affairs, and they still hope to attract as many people as possible to participate."
< br>"When doing things, you have to think comprehensively. It would not be good if all the faces are white and black. What do you think?"
"So you are going to invite some domestic stars? So that international students can Are you interested in participating?" Xiang Yang asked.
Principal An nodded, the boy can be taught.
"Then just tell Sissi directly. She has many celebrity friends. Here," Xiang Yang spread his hands, "your daughter knows all the domestic celebrities I know."
"I didn't ask you to invite them." Principal An rolled his eyes at his son-in-law speechlessly.
"Then what do you mean?"
"I mean, see if there are any friends who need such an opportunity. After all, this is a foreign matter, and the style is here." An The principal said carefully, "You can handle this matter better than Sissi."
Xiang Yang sighed deeply: "You really make the best use of your talents. Let me take the blame when the time comes, right? "
"What nonsense are you talking about? Drink tea." Principal An smiled.
Which is more important, Fashion Week or China Week?
Different people look at things from different angles and draw different conclusions.
However, compared to Fashion Week, China Week is much more solemn on some occasions, and the scope of inviting celebrities is also more rigorous.
At least, it’s not just about fame.
"If you want to invite Xu Qing, just invite Xu Qing. Why do you ask me to say this?"
Speaking of Xu Qing, the first thing many people think of is Ren Yingying in "The Swordsman".
Maybe it’s her reputation that appeals to all ages.
But few people still remember that she began to be active on the screen in the 1980s. Not only did she participate in movies, she also appeared on the small screen with "Journey to the West".
"It's really weird." Xiangyang, who couldn't figure out why Principal An liked the actor, was still mumbling when he walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower.
“What are you talking about?”
After coaxing the two children to sleep, Liu Qianqian came over curiously.
There is still a milky smell lingering in the air.
"I'm hungry" Xiangyang swallowed subconsciously.
"Be serious." Liu Qianqian frowned and wrapped her clothes tightly, and said angrily: "Don't make me unhappy on my birthday~ I'm warning you in advance."
" No, I'm really a little hungry." Xiangyang rubbed his stomach.
As he has been exercising every day recently, he has not lost much weight, but his appetite has increased.
"Then tell me what you are thinking about, and I will consider giving you some hot food."
"Honey, um, this matter." Xiangyang murmured for a while, " Don’t be angry if I tell you.”
“You made your decision.” Liu Qianqian set a condition, “As long as it doesn’t go too far, I won’t be angry.”
“ That's it." Xiang Yang still hesitated, but still spoke.
Upon hearing this, his father actually asked Xiang Yang to invite Xu Qing to participate in China Week at Fashion Week.
Liu Qianqian’s reaction surprised Xiang Yang.
To be precise, it didn’t matter that she wasn’t curious, angry, doubtful, or questioning, she just rolled her eyes at Xiang Yang in disgust.
The smart little eyes seemed to say: "That's it?"
"What do you mean." Seeing her turn around and leave, Xiang Yang caught up and took Liu Qianqian's arm.
"She grew up in the Foreign Affairs College. You can find out by checking it online."
"Uh, Baidu Encyclopedia?" "Yeah." Liu Qianqian nodded affirmatively.
Determined to find out, Xiang Yang searched for his cell phone and suddenly realized what he was doing.
He and Principal An are in the same circle, and they are our own people.
"Do you know what it means that there are people outside, and there are mountains outside the mountains?" Liu Qianqian snickered, her eyebrows arched.
Xiang Yang said nothing.
What else is there to say? No wonder Principal An doesn’t even avoid Liu Xiaoli.
Maybe these two mothers will even dance together.
"Then, which friend of yours do you think would be more suitable to come here?" Xiang Yang suddenly said.
There's no point in using him for nothing.
Not even if my father-in-law comes.
"Brother Xiao Ming, or Sister Bingbing, or Zhang Liangying." Liu Qianqian thought for a moment, and Su Chang and Yao Beina actually needed a chance more.
Especially Yao Beina.
Unfortunately, such an event requires a certain level of visibility.
"Then Zhang Liangying, she happens to be able to speak French."
Liu Qianqian was so happy that she could help her friend again that she almost stood on tiptoe, "Then let me ask?"< br>
“Ask, I’ll tell you when the time comes!”
Xiang Yang patted his chest and promised, no, there is still Hermès Film Investment Company.
"Hey, I'd better wait for your news~ There's no rush."
Now that the guarantee was made, Xiangyang still communicated with Little John.
In preparation, it is necessary to use the name of Hermès Film Investment Company to invite Liu Qianqian’s friends to participate in China Week.
What if?
Don’t let your wife lose face.
“That’s it, it’s a small thing.”
Little John, who was still wandering around the United States, sounded relaxed after receiving the call.
In his opinion, this is not a big deal.
In order to run the film festival successfully, Gao Meng and CC also gave Zhang Mouzi several invitation letters.
"Xiang, tell me." Little John scratched his hair, "How about I invite Jing Tian and Mr. Lu to come?"
"Invite them both?"
< br>
Xiang Yang thought for a while.
"Yes." Little John nodded.
Following Jingtian is related to his face in China. Can't he create some serious topics before the movie is released?
After all, I invested money.
"Okay, it's up to you." Xiang Yang felt that there was nothing he couldn't invite.
After a brief chat, he hung up the phone, put the matter aside, and called Bea Shaffer again.
If the assistant doesn't feel sorry for him, the boss, then he will squeeze his assistant severely.
Some people always say that Anta’s logo looks very similar to Nike at first glance.
But in fact, the logos of Guireniao, Li Ning and Anta in China are most similar to those of Brooks, which is known as the world's four major running shoes.
A brand born in 1914.
The logos of sports brands are very similar, and the reason is simple.
Logos of the same product type all over the world are basically similar. Unless your logo design is particularly unusual, it is very likely that someone somewhere came up with a similar basic idea at the same time.
This is especially true with simple shapes, monograms, and visual metaphors.
So when it comes to logo design, everyone generally follows the idea of "Talent is borrowed, talent is stolen."
Besides, Nike’s logo was not like this at first.
If we really talk about plagiarism between major sports brands, we still have to look at the earliest logos of Adidas and Puma.
The line elements are designed almost exactly the same.
But who said they were two brothers?
So, once similar topics involving well-known brand logos are brought up for discussion, the most common question everyone asks is "In what year were you born?"
This is just like in the field of football. "What kind of champion are you?"
It doesn't make much sense to argue about this.
The key lies in the hard power of the brand.
Does Anta have hard power?
It really does.
In terms of the number of applications, patent market value, patent cooperation applications and patent layout, Anta is far ahead among China's sports brands.
Not only does it occupy 15.4% of China's share, it ranks third in the market.
As far as patents are concerned, in recent years it has been able to compete with international brands like Adidas.
The first major segment of the layout of the two is still very consistent, both focusing on three-dimensional views and basic design.
The difference only lies in more detailed fields such as copolymers and composite foaming.
After all, companies such as Adidas and Nike have firmly established patent barriers by virtue of their first-mover advantages and accumulated thresholds.
If Chinese companies want to make breakthroughs, they can only develop new materials.
After reporting what she saw to Xiangyang one by one, Bea Shaffer saw from her point of view that at least there was a basis for cooperation.
"That's good." Xiang Yang pondered.
This is what he cares about most.
"In this case, you and Mr. Ding from Anta apply for a time for us to officially inspect. It is best to set the date between Fashion Week and China Week. I have more money here."
"Why not invite the other party to Paris?" Bea Shaffer suggested.
"Then I might as well go to China to invite you in person."
Xiang Yang smiled and continued: "In cooperation with Anta, we only have the advantage of appearance design, production and sales. Rely on them if necessary."
Different from the cooperation with Ordos, when it comes to fabrics, fashion luxury brands have a greater say.
Cooperating with ANTA
"Boss, don't you think it would be more sincere to take time out of your busy schedule to come here?"
"???"
Xiang Yang was not annoyed at all, but smiled and said: "I let you The company will arrange a plane to bring you back, okay?”
Hearing Xiangyang’s tone of discussion, Bea Shaffer joked with an incredible sigh:
“Then the plane is coming. Yes, Boss, it won’t waste much time if you take the time to come. I have obtained your work schedule from Bella.”
"A nest of snakes and rats!!!" He yelled in his heart, Xiang Yang was speechless, "Where are you now?"
"I am in Jinjiang, and I will return to Shanghai with Mr. Ding tomorrow."< br>
"Okay, I'll think about it." Xiang Yang said calmly.
"Then Boss, you have to give me the exact information as soon as possible so that I can make arrangements."
"Okay, I got it."
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yang couldn't help but take a breath.
My life today is worse than when I asked Little John to be my assistant
As expected, only men are considerate of men!
There are pictures, please post them later
