Chapter 288 This Kid Is Expected!
When Yang Huan walked into the show on the third floor, the place was already full of people and the seats were full.
Southampton's new season jersey catwalk, this is the first time in the football world.
Since it is the first time, it will inevitably be questioned and even ridiculed.
It's normal, after all, that's how everything starts out.
What other event has been so grand from the very beginning?
Isn't it all about persevering step by step and slowly accumulating popularity before ushering in an outbreak?
Relatively speaking, this group of guests who appeared at the scene this evening are obviously for Yang Huan and Southampton, or for the rich second generation of the eat, drink and play group. These people are worthy of deep friendship.
Adversity sees the truth!
Therefore, Yang Huan is also very rare. After walking into the show, he shook hands with all the guests who came to the venue and sat in the front row one by one, even though most of them did not have a big name.
And these guests are also flattered to greet Yang Huan one by one.
This group of rich second-generation members of the eat, drink and play group played the role of the host unceremoniously, helping Yang Huan and Southampton to greet the guests and guests.
The scene was lively and the atmosphere was good.
This is the first time, and it's not easy to do this in just two days.
"Master Huan!" Norman Foster and his several designer friends are undoubtedly the most important guests tonight.
"Norman!" Yang welcomed him and shook hands with Norman Foster.
The latter also immediately introduced his friends to Yang Huan, two or three of whom have participated in the design of Southampton's new jersey.
However, what Norman Foster valued most was the handsome English gentleman beside him.
"I'm here to introduce you, this is Burberry's chief designer, Christopher Bailey."
"Hello, Mr. Yang Huan!"
Christopher Bailey's voice was a little soft, and when he shook hands, his movements were very gentle, giving Yang Huan the impression that this guy was a crook?
But it's not surprising that there are too many twists and turns in the fashion circle. What's all the fuss about?
"Hello, Christopher!"
Yang Huan saw Huang Ying again. She is not qualified to sit with famous designers such as Norman Foster, so she can only sit in the second row.
"Master Huan, now many people outside say that you are leading Southampton to set off a 2.0 football storm, and Christopher is trying to set off a fashion 2.0 storm. I always thought that you must have something in common! "
Norman Foster's words aroused Yang Huan's interest.
"How?" When he asked the question, he looked at Christopher Bailey.
The English gentleman smiled softly.
Strange to say, a big man smiled warmly, it was really weird.
But Christopher Bailey himself is quite handsome, and his gentle smile gives people a feminine charm.
Of course, in Yang Huan's view, he still felt a little hairy.
It just doesn't show up!
"Football and fashion have a long history, but they've always rested on their laurels.
Isolated from the general public of the world. "
Christopher Bailey's words made Yang Huan nod.
This kid is amazing!
"You see, in the past so many years, science and technology have progressed so much and so fast, but football has never benefited much from technological progress, even in the last two years, some teams have begun to attach importance to scientific training and diet. But it is still very elementary, but the football circle is completely unaware of this, and instead feels arrogantly that football does not need technology!"
"Well said!" Yang Huan felt that he was right.
Especially in British football, technology is almost impenetrable.
Even in many teams, the training and diet of the players are still very primitive.
If nothing else, how many years has Wenger coached Arsenal?
When he was in charge of Arsenal, how savagely did the Gunners fall behind?
"It's the same in fashion."
Yang Huan looked at this handsome and gentle British gentleman again, and listened with great interest.
"All fashion shows are very high-end and invite heavyweight guests, but journalists and fashion lovers are kept out of the door, and consumers can't even participate in them. Why can't they watch the catwalk together? "
"The reason is very simple, they will tell you, this group of people don't understand fashion at all!"
Yang Huan was really surprised.
It is surprising to hear such a statement from the chief designer of a luxury brand.
"You are so right!" Yang Huan agreed with him 100%.
"There is no one or any brand that can hang themselves up and sell them these days. What consumers want is an experience, a kind of enjoyment from the heart, instead of walking out of the door with a bag of a certain brand. Go, point and tell others that I am a so-and-so brand, as if the whole world would not know."
Of course, there are not no such people, but there are very few, and there will be fewer and fewer.
"Yes, yes!" Christopher Bailey seemed to have found a soulmate.
"So, I'm really interested in some of your Southampton practices, your press conferences are held directly on the Internet, you have opened an app and WeChat, allowing fans to interact directly with the team, and even often organize some community activities. "
"Also, the series of activities and promotions after you introduced the stars are very good!"
Having said that, Christopher Bailey looked at Yang Huan with interest.
"Mr. Yang Huan, I really want to know, what are you going to do in the future?"
Even Norman Foster looked at Yang Huan with interest.
"I didn't think about it!" Yang Huan shook his head, "I really didn't think about it!"
The answer took everyone by surprise.
"I think everything should be tried. Technology is advancing with each passing day, changing every day. We thought it was impossible in the past, but is it still impossible now and in the future?"
Christopher Bailey and Norman Foster listened and nodded.
No one can be sure of what will happen in the future.
"Norman has tried virtual reality technology, how does it feel?" Yang Huan asked suddenly.
"Virtual reality?" Christopher Bailey was taken aback.
This is the stuff of legend!
"Norman, haven't I heard you say it?" There was even a bit of resentment in his tone.
Norman Foster smiled wryly, how could such a secret thing be said everywhere?
"Master Huan's lab made a virtual reality headset the size of a brick. I tried it, and the effect was very realistic, but many details were not satisfactory, such as dizziness, delay and inconvenient manipulation. "
Yang Huan couldn't help nodding, "As for me, I'm putting more effort into launching the 2.0 version in the shortest possible time to overcome these problems, and then I was thinking, in the future, will fans be able to use virtual helmets to sit on the table? At home, can you get the kind of enjoyment of watching the game live?"
"Also, not just sitting in the stands, but even, can he get the kind of substitution that his favorite stars move and run on the football field?"
The two of them were a little stunned when they heard it. This idea was too novel.
But when you think about it, it's really exciting.
Especially considering that more and more fans are being kept out of stadiums because of high ticket prices.
If the price of virtual helmets can come down, there is definitely such a demand!
Let alone a ball game, even if it is a movie, it is a subversive viewing experience!
Yang Huan is really discovering more and more that this thing is so interesting!
"Mr. Yang Huan, you're talking about my heart!" Christopher Bailey couldn't help laughing.
"Did you know? In April of this year, we Burberry held a 3D fashion show in the capital of China. During the show, we added 3D holographic projection technology. The effect is absolutely shocking. I can still hear the scene. The screams of more than a thousand spectators!"
Yang Huan really did not expect that Christopher Bailey even used 3D holographic projection technology.
This is the first time in the fashion industry.
"However, it is a pity that our core management is still hesitant about my proposed 2.0 fashion upgrade."
Having said that, Christopher Bailey sighed deeply.
He is the chief designer, but after all, he is also a working man.
"Why? I think this idea is very good. All industries should make every effort to embrace the advancement of technology and use it to achieve their own upgrades and development with the times."
Christopher Bailey shrugged. "Who knows?"
Norman Foster understood a little bit and sighed, "In the end, traditional ideas play a role."
"Sometimes it's not surprising. It's like me. You asked me to go to social networks to brag and chat with a group of fans. I can't do that." After speaking, he couldn't help laughing to himself.
Yang Huan looked at Christopher Bailey with interest.
After a long discussion, he admired the kid.
Although it is a bend, it can be heard that most of the top designers are bending and pulling.
"Are you interested in leaving Burberry and working in a company where you can be your own boss?"
Christopher Bailey didn't expect Yang Huan to suddenly ask such a question, and thought it was a joke.
"Okay, many luxury brands are now dominated by designers, who have two major responsibilities, product design and company management. If I meet a suitable one, I will also go!"
"If it's a declining noble brand, will you do it?"
Christopher Bailey looked at Yang Huan with a strange look. Isn't this a joke?
But soon, he caught a signal from Yang Huan's eyes.
"How bad is it?"
"Asprey!"
As if worried that relying on this brand is not enough, Yang Huan chased after him again.
"Recently, we are also acquiring Gerrard Jewelry, intending to reorganize the former aristocratic brand dedicated to British royal luxury!"
If this title is used well, it will have a great reputation.
Of course, it is not easy to operate.
"You mean it?" Christopher Bailey was surprised.
"Of course, I bought Asprey two months ago, and I've been looking for and finding a suitable operator and designer, and now, I think you're a good fit, how about it? I can give it to you The power and resources you want!"
Asprey and Gerrard, although there have been scandals, are still aristocratic brands in the luxury industry.
In a recent survey of the global high-end consumer groups by an independent high-end luxury research institution in New York, Asprey is still the second among the top luxury brands.
One thing to know is that in the past ten years, this company has already been operating in embarrassment and lost its glory at its peak. Especially in the last two or three years, it has been unable to make ends meet, otherwise it would not have been able to sell so cheaply. .
This shows how much weight and influence Asprey has in the minds of high-end consumers.
Christopher Bailey was very shocked. He had just heard about Yang Huan from Norman Foster, and felt that the two had many similar ideas, so he wanted to join in the fun and get to know the British upstart.
But who would have thought that Yang Huan invited him to change jobs in less than half an hour after meeting him once, and even promised him so much power. Anyone would be shocked!
"Nowadays, many luxury brands just want to make quick money and try their best to innovate. They want you to change a bag and a few sets of clothes every year. I think this is unreasonable."
"In my mind, a real luxury must have a unique personality, the price can be high, but the attitude must be close to the people, and it can give people the unexpected beauty of surprises in their daily life, so it can be A gem can also be the most common pencil."
"Only by being liked can luxury goods have meaning and value!"
"Compared with those who buy a bag, replace it with a new one after a year, throw it aside, throw it away, and never ignore it again, I prefer my product to be the kind of product that consumers really like and desire. A perfect masterpiece that has been obtained and used for many, many years, and even passed on to the next generation.”
"Because I believe that no matter how the society progresses, how the times develop, and how technology is changing with each passing day, the soul core of all luxury brands is always inseparable from one thing, and that is the ingenuity that impresses consumers!"
Christopher Bailey and Norman Foster were a little surprised.
They were even shocked by what Yang Huan said.
It's unbelievable to hear this shocking insight into the definition of luxury from a wealthy man who hardly has to worry about money, who can buy all luxury goods with impunity.
Perhaps, in everyone's mind, there is a completely different definition and understanding of luxury.
But Yang Huan said something right.
Ingenuity is always the rarest and most precious luxury in the world!
Apple's mobile phones are so popular because Apple has a dead-end spirit. They are not only designing mobile phones, but also doing their best to use more advanced and advanced manufacturing processes to make better mobile phones for fans.
To use a certain fat man's advertising slogan, it is to die for yourself and please everyone!
And this kind of death is precisely a kind of ingenuity.
If one day in the future, Apple does not have this spirit, then they will begin to decline.
"Think about it, I'm very sincere!"
Yang Huan himself felt a lot of emotion, patted Christopher Bailey on the shoulder, and said nothing more.
