Chapter 987 New Series (Part 2)
When Ding Yumei received the watch from her son, it was when Guo Tailai was in college. At that time, I was poor. I had a watch worth tens of thousands of yuan, and it was a world-renowned Cartier watch. I am afraid that it was the only one in the entire county. Whose kid can give their parents a watch like this when they go to college? Well, except Wanming!
When Guo Tailai handmade a watch for Guo Jianjun, he was despised by Ding Yumei. A handmade watch without any brand is definitely not as tall as a world famous brand.
However, Guo Tailai's status is different now. He is a minority shareholder of Audemars Piguet and also the designer of several watches. According to the female receptionist and President Henry in front of him, the watches made by his son are probably not ordinary. Thinking about it carefully, buying someone else's watch for tens of thousands of dollars is really not as comforting as making one by your own son.
Ding Yumei's gaze immediately turned to Guo Tailai, the sadness in her eyes made Guo Tailai almost unbearable.
Turning his head and gave President Henry a thumbs up, Guo Tailai also had to admire him, the timing was really good: "You are amazing!"
"Mom, I've thought about it a long time ago, and I'm waiting to come to Switzerland to make a new one for you." When he turned back to Ding Yumei, Guo Tailai's expression immediately became extremely flattering. What's there to be ashamed of to please your own mother?
"If it's the same as your father's, I don't want it." It's rare for her son to flatter her so much, so Ding Yumei must be careful. Anyway, she doesn't like Guo Jianjun's very orthodox watch with no surprises and changes. Women are born to like beautiful and shiny shapes, not to mention that Ding Yumei is a lady who has been influenced by various trendy fashions at Paris Fashion Week recently. Wearing fashion, the watch can not be ordinary.
"Of course not." Guo Tailai hurriedly said with a smile, "It will definitely satisfy you."
"Well, do it with your heart." Guo Jianjun also chimed in. He understood better than Ding Yumei, and he understood the value of his son's handwork better than she did. If a piece of Cartier was definitely more famous than Guo Tailai's in the past, it may not be so now: "You have to take good care of our queen mother."
"Don't worry!" Guo Tailai hastened to promise, and immediately followed his father's words: "I will design a new women's watch, which will be expanded into a series in the future, called the Empress Dowager series!"
"What queen mother? I can't afford it!" Ding Yumei refused, but there was a burst of smile on her face.
Guo Jianjun's title of Queen Mother reminds Guo Tailai of a classic women's watch series that will be launched in the future. Breguet Queen of Naples series, in order to commemorate the first known watch in history ordered by Queen Caroline Murat of Naples from the founder of Breguet, and then became a series of timepieces.
Just like the classic octagonal case design of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak series, the Queen of Naples series is also a classic oval case and spherical lug design, with moon phase display, mother-of-pearl and engraved dial, diamond bezel, It has become the iconic element of this series of women's watches, and it can be recognized at a glance when it is thrown into a pile of watches.
However, this series has not yet come out, and it just so happens that the name sounds good, so Guo Tailai used it casually. The queen is only the king's wife, the queen is the emperor's wife, and the queen mother, usually the emperor's mother, is much more dignified than the queen, isn't it?
"G, it seems that there is another new watch model coming out?" President Henry was very happy: "Can we cooperate on the new watch model?"
"Maybe it's a good idea." Guo Tailai does not reject large-scale cooperation with Audemars Piguet, but it must be based on fair cooperation: "When I come up with a new series design, you can discuss it with Mr. Baker in detail!"
"Are you going to make a new series?" Mr. Henry's eyes lit up when he heard this, he was already a little overjoyed.
A series of watches is not one or a few watches with different materials, but includes a series of watch movements plus design language and overall concept packaging. If it is done well, it can almost do business for decades. Regardless of Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak series, Tradition series, Classique classic series, and later Millennium series, JulesAudemars series, etc., they are all a series of businesses. One more series, as long as it is promoted, is equivalent to one more tree. Money tree!
"Hmm!" He and Mr. Henry don't need to please, just answer directly.
"Can I know the name of the series in advance?" Mr. Henry asked expectantly.
"Of course!" Guo Tailai replied with a smile: "I call it the 'Empress Dowager Series'. In China, the Empress Dowager can be said to be the most honorable woman and the emperor's mother. It started in the Zhaowang era and has a very long history, so I named it by this name. Empress Dowager, wish every mother is a queen mother, it contains the mother's hope that her child will become a dragon, and it is the best gift a son can give to a mother , how does it sound?"
"I'm looking forward to it!" Mr. Henry is an expert in the watch industry. Mr. Taylor G's series design dedicated to his mother, will it be bad? This slogan is even more surprising. I am afraid that just for Mother’s Day, this series of watches can sell a hot item, and Audemars Piguet is releasing it now! With only two pieces of Royal Oak and one sentence, a new series can be obtained, which is a big profit! When Guo Tailai and his family were sent away, they immediately went to discuss cooperation matters with Baker.
No way, Guo Tailai has this convincing ability now, just like Lafayette's ability in fashion design, never doubt that he can come up with more trendy designs. Although Guo Tailai has not yet reached this level in the watch industry, he has never doubted it in Audemars Piguet.
Ding Yumei happily finished visiting Audemars Piguet, and returned to the small villa where Guo Tailai lived with her husband and son. On the second day, Guo Tailai didn't go out with them any more, but rushed directly to Taylor G's watchmaking studio and began to make the first Queen Mother watch for Ding Yumei.
Ru Valley has all kinds of watchmaking materials. As long as Guo Tailai makes a request, Mr. Baker can prepare all the materials according to Guo Tailai's request. When he left Audemars Piguet yesterday, Guo Tailai had already sent Mr. Baker a list of materials, and it was ready early this morning.
Shutting himself in that private workshop, Guo Tailai spent a whole day carefully crafting two watches, one for Ding Yumei and the other for Mr. Baker to register patents and discuss cooperation with Audemars Piguet. of.
When seeing this extremely exquisite first "Queen Mother" watch, even if Mr. Baker has seen many beautiful women's watches, his eyes still shine when he looks at this watch, and he can't put it down.
"Mothers all over the world will thank you, G!" Mr. Baker admired in his mouth, and he couldn't wait to raise the big knife that was slashing at Abby, and wanted to negotiate with Mr. Henry.
