Chapter 973 Admirer
After watching several recently released American blockbusters in the United States and feeling the passion and love of North American movie fans for Hollywood movies. Yang Dongxu brought his wife and children to Paris, France.
He had only seen big shows like Fashion Week on TV or in some magazines before. To be honest, for fashion designers, apart from those weird ones that are higher than the monsters and ghosts to attract attention.
Even if the clothes at Fashion Week are a bit alternative and exaggerated, most of them can really set off the temperament. Wearing them on the body is indeed much more pleasing to the eye than randomly matching black and white for thousands of years.
Huaxiu also has works participating in Fashion Week this year, but currently almost more than one-third of textiles are exported from China, and various clothing exports account for half of the world's total clothing.
But compared with international big brands and the top market, Huaxiu has not yet gained a firm foothold even in the mid-end market, and only wins in the low-end market by volume.
However, the silk luxury series, the Oriental luxury wedding series, and handicraft clothing such as embroidery, which have cooperated with Nike in recent years, have achieved considerable success.
So although Huaxiu has not yet set off a wave of Han culture clothing, occasionally in fashion weeks or world-class banquets, you can see some clothing with Chinese elements. Each appearance is not particularly stunning, but the unique oriental classical temperament has indeed attracted many people's attention.
Especially the classical luxury wedding, which has attracted the attention of domestic tycoons in recent years. At present, almost all weddings in China are dominated by Western-style weddings.
To be precise, some rules are still in accordance with Chinese weddings, but the bride basically wears a white soul shirt and the groom wears a suit. As for the dragon and phoenix gown, it seems to have withdrawn from the stage of history in an instant.
In fact, Western-style weddings were originally played by some rich people, especially some returnees who regarded such weddings as a symbol of style.
But as wedding dresses become more and more popular, wedding companies provide more and more thoughtful services. Western-style weddings have begun to become popular among the public, which makes some rich people feel uncomfortable wearing wedding dresses, so some people start to spend more money to show their uniqueness. Therefore, Chinese-style weddings are increasingly favored by some rich people.
There is such a saying on the Internet in later generations: It is not that I am not patriotic, nor that I do not want to promote traditional culture. But these things are more luxurious than Western luxury goods, and I can't afford them.
For example, if you rent a wedding dress from a wedding company for a Western wedding, you can choose a very good style for a few thousand dollars. But if you want to wear a Chinese phoenix crown and bridal robe, I'm sorry, the gold thread used for a pattern on the bridal robe is probably more than this price, I really can't afford it.
"In fact, it's not just clothing, incense is actually good. When I was managing companies in Europe and the United States, many top rich people actually didn't like perfume as exaggerated as shown in advertisements.
Real people with style are very yearning for domestic incense. I met a foreigner who was obsessed with incense. He simply smoked a disposable consumable and didn't even blink an eye at $10,000 a stick." Sitting in the audience after watching the fashion show, Yang Dongxu held the little guy, and Zhou Ya held his arm while walking forward and spoke.
"This is true. Don't think that foreigners hype perfumes up to be very high-end, and even create various series for one type. For French nobles, or the upper class, perfume is certainly a daily necessity.
But in some high-end gatherings, incense is lit in the room. Don't think that these foreigners always feel that China is backward and disdain the things of our ancestors, but in fact they just want to lower the price.
For many classical and historical things, the upper class in Europe and the United States have a very large market. It's just that their methods are more sophisticated, and they have a tacit understanding to jointly suppress Chinese products.
For example, Dabao, a skin care product, is a civilian product that every family can use in China. It is actually quite popular abroad and the price is very affordable.
But foreign media never report such very good Chinese products, as if they have never seen them. And the hearts of Chinese people in China have also been misled.
If you say that Dabao is selling well in foreign countries and many foreigners use it, most Chinese people think you are making false reports to flatter yourself. On the contrary, if it is a Korean or foreign brand that is selling well, they are very convinced." Zhuo Qing'er walked on the other side of Yang Dongxu.
From time to time, he reached out to tease the little Wenchen in Yang Dongxu's arms, saying that some domestic brands have always been doing well internationally, but they just can't establish their own brands.
On the other hand, some foreign mainstream goods, after entering China, have been hyped up a little, and then some celebrities have been found to endorse them, and they have instantly turned from mainstream goods into luxury goods. These examples are most obvious in perfumes, cosmetics and clothing.
For example, Coach is a second-tier product in the United States. It looks like LV, but it is actually eight streets away. Once it arrives in China, it becomes a luxury brand second only to LV.
Another example is the Adidas classic series. It has entered various flagship stores in China and is full of style. In fact, it is just supermarket goods that can be seen everywhere.
How can things that can be placed on supermarket shelves be those luxury goods that are specially placed in brand cabinets? But as soon as they entered China, they made a gorgeous transformation and caught up with real luxury clothing brands such as Chanel and Armani.
"Foreigners are indeed better at branding than Chinese people. Coupled with the proliferation of piracy and copycats, many brands that can become bigger and stronger are turned into street stalls. Once something like this is dropped on the ground, it is hard to pick it up again. It always tastes a bit earthy.
What's more important is that they say that a mother doesn't think her son is ugly, and a dog doesn't think the family is poor. But in the minds of Chinese people, it's just the opposite. When they see foreign brands and all kinds of awesome products, when they see Chinese brands," Yang Dongxu shook his head helplessly.
"You've overturned a whole boat of people with one stroke. It's the first time I've discovered that although you don't worship foreigners, you are an angry youth at heart. The situation you mentioned does exist, but it is not absolute.
In fact, many Chinese people still support domestic production, but some people see that you are doing better, so they try their best to bring in some crooked things to make up for the loss. Then a good industry is turned into a mess, and a rat droppings ruins a pot of soup. . "Zhuo Qing'er said.
After speaking, she glanced at Zhou Ya on the other side. She felt a little guilty talking about her husband in front of others. But before, Yang Dongxu and I were used to trying to undermine each other, and we had already spoken out when we realized something was wrong.
"The reason you mentioned is indeed the meeting. The country still has a long way to go on the road to brand protection and legal improvement." It was Zhou Ya who spoke.
Compared with Yang Dongxu, who always hates everything but cannot be made into steel, she has always been much more rational when facing things. Of course, the premise is that Yang Dongxu is not involved and makes her angry.
"Miss Qing'er, I wonder how you have considered the previous proposal?" The three people walked forward, and a man walked over quickly not far away, followed by a man and a woman who looked like assistants and looked very important.
"I said I wouldn't consider it. I have no intention of finding a partner, so I can only look forward to the next cooperation." Zhuo Qing'er spoke pure English, which made Yang Dongxu look at her with admiration.
Although Zhuo Qing'er has changed a lot over the years, most of Yang Dongxu's impression of her still remains that of the eldest sister who was in the world. And as far as he knew, Zhuo Qing'er's education seemed to be that he had not graduated from junior high school, and his English was no worse than those of the turtles.
"What's that look in your eyes?" Zhuo Qing'er caught the surprised look on Yang Dongxu's face with the corner of his eye and became displeased immediately after rejecting the foreigner who hurried over.
"Speaks English very well." Yang Dongxu quickly put away his surprised expression and looked innocent as if he had done nothing.
"Oh, God. Ms. Zhou Ya." Just when Zhuo Qing'er glared at Yang Dongxu, Yang Dongxu pretended not to notice and asked his son to block the opponent's sight and attract firepower.
The foreigner who originally focused on Zhuo Qing'er, who seemed to be talking about cooperation, suddenly stared at Zhou Ya with a look of shock on his face.
At first, Yang Dongxu just glanced at the foreigner who was walking quickly without taking a closer look. The other person's surprise mixed with excited shouts made him stunned for a moment. After taking a closer look at the foreigner, he suddenly felt that he looked familiar.
"Who are you?" Zhou Ya also looked at the foreigner in front of her with some confusion.
"Oh God, elegant Ms. Zhou Ya, how can you forget me. I am your loyal admirer Rima Rockfitt." Seeing that Zhou Ya didn't recognize him, Rima looked heartbroken and seemed to have been abandoned by God. look like.
"Shareholders of Exxon?" Zhou Ya frowned and thought for a moment, seeming to overlap the bald foreigner in front of her with a certain figure in her memory.
"Haha, God bless me, I knew you hadn't forgotten me. Where have you been all these years? I searched for you through all the connections I could find, but you just seemed to have vanished from the world. You..." Rima became more and more excited as he spoke. Zhou Ya approaches.
But he had only taken half a step when Yang Dongxu stood sideways in front of him.
"Who are you?" He looked unhappy when he saw the figure of the goddess he had been looking for disappearing, replaced by an oriental face that he didn't like.
"Sir, please stay away from my wife." Yang Dongxu turned sideways and handed his son to Zhou Ya next to him, looking at Rima without evasion.
"Wife?" Rima was stunned for a moment, and then the excitement and excitement in his eyes turned into despair, and then there was an element of beauty flickering again, "No, it's impossible, how could my goddess marry another man. Don't you panic again? , you’re lying, right?”
The more Rima spoke, the more excited he reached out to push Yang Dongxu. The anger in his eyes could no longer be concealed, especially when he looked over Yang Dongxu's shoulder and saw his goddess comforting the child in his arms. He originally saw that the goddess seemed to be favored by an angel. He instantly felt that the angel who favored him had turned into a demon.
