Chapter 433 Great Success
Sometimes things in this world are just not right.
People take it for granted that it should be like this, but with development and development, it will always become like that.
Whether it is good or bad, the final outcome often has nothing to do with people’s original intentions.
Failure to follow the right principles in life and death makes it difficult for you to control yourself.
This is the same whether at home or abroad, whether it is a big or small matter.
What? Don’t believe it?
If you don’t believe it, then you might as well take a look at the island countries in the East.
In fact, Ning Weimin’s neighbors were worried about their son’s marriage.
Just when Huo Yanping and his wife were worried about their daughter's unsatisfactory changes.
Qu Xiao, a little girl who went abroad for the first time, also encountered new problems in her life.
March 5, 1983, Saturday, 7pm.
The rooftop garden of Nishiura Department Store in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.
In the open-air space of thousands of square meters, under the dark blue sky, the event was unprecedented.
On the temporary T-shaped stage in the venue, with dynamic music and gorgeous lights.
Sixteen tall girls from the Republic are taking the stage one after another.
In the next seventy-five minutes of performance, they will show off one hundred and eighty-five sets of costumes to the packed audience.
Although this is already their thirteenth performance since arriving in Tokyo, it stands to reason that they should have overcome all the unfamiliarity and discomfort.
But each of them still inevitably feels awkward and nervous about stage fright.
However, this is not because the weather here is cold and the conditions for outdoor performances are too difficult.
Rather, it was because their catwalk performance in Japan was an astonishing success, far beyond their imagination.
Girls like this have to worry about gains and losses, and are particularly worried about accidents during the catwalk.
I am afraid that if something goes wrong, it will destroy the growing popularity and reputation of this event.
In fact, not to mention the girls themselves, not even the leaders of the Textile Bureau or the Japanese inviters expected that this performance would be so popular that it would set off a trend. .
The biggest difference between these girls' performances in Tokyo and domestic performances is that in response to the business needs of Nishiura Department Store, the clothing display content was divided into two parts.
In addition to a small number of concept clothes that the girls will display, the main one hundred or so items of clothing displayed are all ready-to-wear styles that can be sold on site.
And each of these clothes for sale is numbered.
This means that when the audience sees the model show, they will be interested in the clothes on the model.
They could have memorized the clothing numbers.
Then after the performance, go directly to the store downstairs to select on-site according to the number, or purchase.
What the event organizers and organizers failed to think of was this. The cost advantage of the Republic's clothing manufacturing industry, coupled with the excellent model quality of these girls and the effective lighting and sound equipment on site, actually produced an unparalleled sensational effect.
Let these clothes sell like crazy.
The number of visitors surged rapidly.
At first, there were only seven or eight hundred people in each game. After a few games, the number quickly increased to more than 1,000 and more than 2,000 people.
After the sixth performance, the venue was even full.
So much so that a special person was required to guard the stairs at the scene to control the flow of people with a limit of 3,500 spectators.
For this reason, not only "Tokyo Shimbun", as a local newspaper in Tokyo, sent reporters to interview and published a half-page interview.
Even fashion magazines "SWEET" and "InRed" which were just launched not long ago, in order to grab readers in the fashion reading market dominated by the old magazines "Women's Pictorial", "Zhuoyuan" and "anan", Achieve a breakthrough.
Published an article with beautiful photos in the new issue of the magazine, and made a free soft-text advertisement for XJTLU Department Store’s clothing exhibition and sales event. In this way, this event without any media publicity became more and more popular.
The month-long twenty-performance program is only less than half-way through.
The Japanese side has seen that supply exceeds demand, and the clothing sales are going to be out of control.
For this reason, they were pleasantly surprised, but also terrified.
I had to urgently consult with the leaders of the Ministry of Textiles who led the team to Japan, and requested that twice as many garments be transported from the Republic as soon as possible to rescue the situation.
The request for instructions was sent to China. Thanks to a big leader, he made a timely decision and agreed to increase the volume of goods.
This ensures the smooth progress and completion of this business cooperation promotion plan.
So in fact, as the first model team to represent the Republic after reopening the country.
Qu Xiao and her teammates not only brought foreign exchange to the Ministry of Textiles, but also rebuilt a bridge for the Republic to trade with the East.
Their style has even fascinated the people in the capital of the Oriental island country.
Let these Japanese people appreciate the charm of being dignified and elegant.
So much so that before the show was over, Nishiro Department Store happily signed an agreement for further cooperation and increased its clothing orders.
Even famous Japanese trading companies such as Mitsubishi and Marubeni sent people over to quietly inquire about the situation.
And tried to break through the protective blockade of XJTLU Department Store staff and contact the delegation of the Republic.
This is a huge surprise and gain that people never expected.
But on the other hand, just because the performance was so successful, it also brought some additional side effects.
You know, Japan is a world of capitalism.
The overall society is in a stage where the economy is booming, becoming more and more extravagant, greedy for pleasure, and advocating consumption.
It was exactly this year that Japan’s per capita GDP exceeded the US$10,000 mark.
It is inevitable that some arrogant young people will think that these girls are from economically backward third world countries and may be easy to hook up with.
I have a crush on the girls from the model team.
As a result, the girls in these model teams received a lot of harassment as soon as they came off the runway.
It’s just that young people in Japan have completely misjudged the situation.
They did not take into account the language barrier, the differences in cultural cognition, and they had no understanding of the system of the Republic.
These girls are all under official guardianship and are subject to strict discipline when going abroad.
Then for every invitation, overture, flower or gift.
Regardless of whether the girls are easy to cheat or not, whether they are willing to accept it or not, they must reject it with a unified and firm attitude.
Besides, XJTLU Department Store, as the organizer, has already made a promise to the Ministry of Textiles to ensure that the Republic delegation will not be harassed.
As a result, all of these are destined to make many "pickup masters" end up hitting a brick wall one after another, and leave in despair.
But everything has exceptions, and something incredible happened to Qu Xiao.
Perhaps it is because she is the one with the best appearance among the many girls and the one who is most in line with Eastern aesthetics.
Not only were there many times more flies pestering her than the others, but there was also one that was quite special.
Although he has never shown his face, he has the ability to let the people who represent him break through the blockade of the staff of Xijiao Department Store.
