Chapter 1302: 1,301 Special Requirements
“Don’t talk about me like a money-grubbing person, I am here to go public...”
“Yes, I We all know. You are a great general manager who has the interests of all shareholders at heart. Why do I always support you? Just because I believe that thanks to you, my farm will not last long. It will take a long time to expand.”
“There is really nothing I can do about you, the more beautiful the woman, the more trouble she will cause!”
Pierre complained again, before Catherine. After pouring rice soup, his stern face softened.
Finally seriously weighed the pros and cons.
"Just try your best? I can't guarantee that those girls can wear the main clothes. After all, China is too backward in fashion, and the Paris International Fabric and Clothing Show in July, the autumn and winter new product releases in September Yes, it doesn’t matter which one! The number of Chinese girls is too small, unlike other white and black models that we can choose. If those girls are too far away from our requirements..."
I pondered for a while. , Pierre raised his own difficulties.
“I understand, Pierre, I fully understand your authority and professionalism in the field of fashion. I also know your expectations for every Yves Saint Laurent show. My expectations are actually the same. You agree. So...just try your best."
Katherine smiled, she knew how to manipulate a man's psychology, and she also knew how to relax.
By Chinese standards, that means knowing how to advance and retreat at critical moments.
“We just add one or two small characters who are not so important to a movie. More of them is not enough, and lack of them is not enough. The important thing is to be able to deal with our friends... ..."
"Okay. Then try your best."
Pierre felt it was acceptable and finally made a compromise.
However, due to the instinct of a businessman, he still cares about money.
"What if it's just a matter of cost? I need to reduce expenses, and I won't give them a high price..."
However, Catherine had another attitude towards this matter.
“Don’t be so stingy. They are Chinese girls, and their country is very backward, but when they come here, they still need to buy bread and pay rent. Our friend wants to take care of his compatriots. If you make such a request, you will not be happy to treat those poor girls like beggars. If so, it is better to pretend that there is no such thing."
Her words are harsh, but they are indeed reasonable facts. .
"Okay, listen to you, even if those girls are lucky. Anyway, we didn't pay anything for this investment, except that Yves lost a personal collection of treasures. Just think of it for this one The new shareholders paid for the reception fee..."
Pierre was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly.
But then, as if he wanted to take the opportunity to vent his pent-up anger and work pressure, he raised the tone and issued a warning.
“However, this matter ends here. Don’t come back in a few days and say that Ning’s Japanese wife wants to have some Japanese girls on the catwalk. If so, then Even Yves will be angry. We can't arrange so many Asian faces..."
"No." Catherine didn't feel dissatisfied and actually smiled secretly at him.
"Do you know why Ning asked me to handle this matter in private? In addition to the fact that he doesn't want to face you directly and doesn't want this matter to hurt the relationship between the two parties. There is another important reason. It’s because he only wants Chinese girls to receive such preferential treatment, and he doesn’t want his Japanese wife to know that what you are worried about is actually what he is worried about.”
And this news also made Pierre stunned and dumbfounded.
He never expected that Ning Weimin, who was willing to transfer 500 million assets to his wife's name, would actually hide his feelings towards his beloved wife in some matters.
“Ah, by the way, Ning also specially warned us that he hopes that we can take care of those girls from mainland China and never have sex with any foreign Chinese or Chinese from other Asian countries and regions. Damn it, those people are not the target of his appeal."
Katherine suddenly spoke again and added.
“Hey, this is too much! How can I guarantee 100%? Asians all look the same, how can I accurately tell them apart?”
And with this, Pierre's thoughts were interrupted again.
He didn’t expect this matter to be so troublesome, and he couldn’t help but feel aggrieved.
"Don't worry about this, it's very simple."
Catherine gave him the most direct solution.
“Look at your passport. When we select Asian models, we can ask for your passport. As long as the girl holds a Republic passport, we can use it.”
…………
Sometimes, a few words from someone can determine the fate of many people.
Most people like to attribute their different experiences to luck.
But these people never know that their luck is often determined by the exchange of interests of others.
What they think is extremely important may not be so important to some people.
Even inadvertently, they can put a price tag on their lives and determine the outcome.
And this is what happened at the Saint Laurent model selection scene...
Twelve models walked on the stage, facing the shining camera lens.
In addition to the executive director, the people responsible for the preliminary casting here also include costume designers and physical coaches from Yves Saint Laurent.
Whether they are models on the field or several judges, they all know how important they are doing at this time.
Therefore, everyone is meticulous, and the judges pay attention to their professional parts and are responsible for scoring the models on the stage.
The models also try their best to express themselves on stage in order to gain career opportunities.
At this moment, Pierre came.
"What exactly are you selecting?" he said a little irritably.
But as the general manager of Yves Saint Laurent, he can certainly treat his subordinates with any attitude.
The director noticed Pierre's unhappiness and quickly explained, "Are you not satisfied? This is just the preliminary election. In fact, we have recorded the names of more than a dozen people today. I think you will be happy if you come again in three days." "More."
And the body coach of Yves Saint Laurent Company also echoed.
“Yes, not many women are perfect. They have beautiful breasts but a weak butt. Even if they are good, their legs are not strong enough. If you don’t want crappy ones, you have to be patient. Although the girls here are They are all tall beauties, but we still need to carefully observe their every step, and then select the most expressive ones with excellent figures and close to perfection.”
However, for Pierre, who has a clear purpose. To you, these explanations make no sense at all.
"I'm not talking about this, I'm asking, why are they all white and black? Where are the Asians? Why do I only see one or two? Don't you think something is missing?"
"Asians?" the director asked in confusion, "Do we need Asians? During this year's spring and summer conference, didn't you say that Asian models are too thin, their muscles are not strong enough, and their bodies and heights are too thin? If you want If you want to use it, just go to TINACHOW (Tina Zhou) or Sayoko Yamaguchi..." At this time, people in the fashion design department expressed professional opinions regardless of their relatively humble status.
"Mr. Pierre, it's like this. This year, our company's autumn and winter women's clothing has more coats. This time there are also a lot of neutral dresses and leather coats. If we choose Asian models Isn’t it not suitable? Whether it’s the three-dimensional sense of the facial features or the body shape, according to the boss’s design drawings, the Nordic models are more suitable for our needs. Black models can appear in sweaters, furs, and long skirts. Embellishment, this is the selection plan drawn up by our design department.”
However, they still misjudged the situation, and how could Pierre’s determination be influenced by these little Karami.
"Well, listen carefully to me. I am officially informing you that there is a slight change in the model selection plan. I need four Chinese models, listen carefully. They must be Chinese, models from the Republic, Got it? I'm not an Asian model. Don't fool me with TINACHOW and Japanese models. If any of you have resources in this area, I don't care what you do. Go gather four people and bring them directly to see me. Oh, by the way, let them bring their passports, and you can also tell them that the price is favorable even for newcomers with no reputation or experience. The minimum price is five thousand francs. If you are of decent quality, have a little bit of fame, and are qualified to wear the main clothes, you can get 50,000 francs per game..."
After saying that, Pierre left the three people who were stunned at the scene and turned away.
“Oh my god! Fifty thousand francs!”
The director exclaimed, “Our general manager is crazy! He wants to pay such a high price to an Asian model! It’s a lot of money. Thirty percent..."
"It's a Chinese model," the body coach corrected, "Don't make a mistake."
The costume designer couldn't help but reveal the truth in his heart, "Then this one. It’s not easy. How many Chinese girls are there in Paris?”
The director was about to cover his face at this time, "What the hell is going on? Why did Pierre do this? He can tell us this, can we put such conditions on the recruitment revelation? Such obvious racial Is it really okay to be inclined? The law is not allowed..."
However, their pain quickly became gospel for some people.
This matter spread through the respective networks of these three people. Just a few hours later, through the French telecommunications department, countless model agents and their agents learned the news. .
One of the model agents, Tommy Tita, was overjoyed to realize that his luck had come.
Because he happens to know two Chinese girls, and he has long been extremely coveted for one of them.
The girl was beautiful and had extremely delicate skin, just like the rosemary girl in Italian mythology who was watered with milk.
He thinks this may be an opportunity for him to achieve his goal, and it is very possible to make money and be romantic at the same time.
It’s a pity that the Chinese girl he fell in love with has clearly rejected his pursuit several times.
And he seems to be very disgusted with him, does not believe his words, and refuses to keep the appointment to meet him.
So he had no choice but to call and make an appointment with another Chinese girl with dark skin and a more lively personality to meet in a cafe.
"Listen, this is definitely not a temporary performance like in the past. This time I plan to take you to a large fashion company for an interview, and get you into the Paris Fashion Week, the list of this company's autumn and winter conference. And it's you and her, You two go together. The interview should be a process. Based on your conditions, I will get at least 40,000 francs for you two. How about it? "
It’s just one. When they met, Tommy bluntly stated his purpose.
He was directly laying the bait, both to show off and to intimidate. In his opinion, no girl could resist this temptation.
However, he really underestimated the Chinese girl's scheming. Based on the experience of his ancestors, one learns from every hardship. Even the girl who came to see him did not take his words seriously.
"That's it. Let's forget it. We all have jobs, and we have about the same number. Thank you, you'd better find someone else. I'm here mainly to remind you that you still owe us ten If you don’t pay me the reward of 10,000 francs, I will find someone else to talk to you next time..."
The girl was also very happy. She had only been sitting down for two minutes and was about to leave with her bag.
As a result, it was not the girl who was so anxious now, but Tommy.
"Hey, why don't you believe me? I mean it. Do you have a job? Isn't that a temporary job? What I want to introduce to you is Yves Saint Laurent, a real famous brand. And It's still a batch of work, from the Paris Fashion Show in July to Paris Fashion Week in September, it takes two full months of work. Even if you have to pay taxes, you will end up earning less than one million francs. It’s not working well.”
“Is it really that good?” The girl’s attitude finally became serious. "It is indeed the autumn and winter conference of Yves Saint Laurent. Are you not lying?"
"Of course not, I guarantee it with my credibility."
Tommy finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that talking about money would work.
He then smiled evilly, finally revealing his vulgar side again.
"However, you should also understand. This kind of unofficial quota is not easy to get, and I paid a lot of money. So I want 30% of your reward as a commission. But even so, I I can only earn a little bit, so I would like to thank you for extra compensation. I'm afraid your friend will have to give me some sweetness. If she is willing to go out to have dinner with me tonight, then I will go home with me. Only then can you ensure that this job belongs to you."
In order to give his prey confidence, he even deliberately added, "You should know that if I didn't have confidence in myself to accomplish this, I wouldn't propose it. Such a request.”
As expected, he was scolded again.
"I guessed it right, you are just a perverted scoundrel." The Chinese girl said, "Keep your job and find another girl. My friend will not accept it. Fortunately, she didn't come, otherwise she would have heard what you said. I'm afraid she won't have the appetite to eat anymore. Don't contact us again, you bastard." After saying that, the Chinese girl stood up and left without looking back.
Tommy was stunned for a while, he couldn't believe what he was experiencing.
Girls who become models don’t all do it to become famous quickly and earn more money.
What’s the point of making deals with men in this line of work?
All girls should know that this is the only way to make their lives easier.
But the Chinese girl seems to be a different kind, actually making a fuss about such an issue!
"Hey, don't do this to me!" Tommy woke up and shouted at the back of the Chinese girl, "I know you. You girls came to Paris just to be famous, as long as you can be famous , willing to do anything. Just wait for the price. I bet that each of you has been slept with by at least ten men. If you want to leave, I will really give this opportunity to others! br>
However, the psychology of Chinese girls is a state that he will never understand.
Tommy looked at the back of the girl who didn't even look back, and only got a middle finger gesture in response.
This ending almost made him introverted.
He was at a loss and didn't know whether to chase or not.
I chase you because I am afraid that the other party will raise the price.
But he didn’t want to chase it. It was obviously easy money, and he really couldn’t bear to part with it.
He really didn’t expect that he originally wanted to trick others into taking advantage of his prey, but in the end, others pushed him into a desperate situation.
What is this!
However, this was not over yet. The Chinese girl lived in an apartment building not far away. She didn't go anywhere and went home directly.
As soon as I opened the door, I happily found my good sister to report the news.
"Xiaoxiao, let me make you guess. That bitch Tommy is really holding it back and wants to take advantage of you. However, this guy seems to have revealed a great news. Saint Laurent The company seems to be in urgent need of Asian models, we have to try..."
However, the people in the room did not respond and just kept staring at the TV screen.
It wasn't until the Chinese girl who came back to report the news called her for a long time that she finally turned around, but she did talk about other things indifferently.
"Little Shitou, Brother Ning has also come to France. I just saw him on the TV. He seemed to have accompanied Miss Matsumoto to the film festival in Cannes. He appeared shortly after the appearance of the British princess. Can you go for me? Pilkington asked about his situation. He should at least go to the head office and report it, right?"
As a result, Shi Kaili was so angry that she stamped her feet, "You, why can't you forget him? I shed so many tears for him. I said, eldest sister, he is already married, and we have our own lives. Let’s talk about how to make money first, I said. It's Saint Laurent, it's the autumn clothing conference, you... are really hopeless..."
