.mianhuatang. Karen Mulder pushed open the door of Grace's office and saw that Westeros was really here, so he didn't care about so many intrusions, and went straight to Simon and said, "Mr. Westeros, I'm Kai. Lun, I'm so sorry, but maybe you have misunderstood me, can you give me some time to explain?"

The girl said that she had come to the desk, but she didn't dare to bully Simon again, and looked at the man opposite across the desk with hope.

Before Simon could speak, Cindy Crawford said rudely: "Karen, don't you think this is very rude? I think you should go out first."

Karen Mulder ignored Cindy's aggressiveness and looked over even more pitifully.

Simon was not angry. He looked at the girl who was probably more pleasing to the eye after re-prosperity, and leaned on the toes of the desk to the other side: "Come here."

Karen Mulder saw that Westeros did not drive her out immediately, and suddenly had a hope, obediently walked around the desk and came to Simon's left side, leaning on the edge of the table like Cindy, the girl was grabbing with both hands. Holding the satchel in front of him, he noticed that Westeros was looking at himself, and quickly put the bag aside and straightened slightly.

Simon was actually looking at a pop graffiti-style long-sleeved, low-cut knee-length dress that Karen Mulder was wearing today, and asked after a moment, "This dress has a great design, which brand?"

Karen Mulder found that the man's attention turned out to be on her skirt, and she was a little lost, but she quickly said: "Choi, this is the latest spring and summer style just released this year."

Simon nodded: "It's beautiful."

Cindy put her hand on Simon's calf lightly and grabbed the topic: "Simon, if you like, now is a good time to acquire Chloe. I heard that this company has not been running smoothly in recent years. Last year It's still a loss, but Chloe's design style is really good, and now Karl is also the creative director."

Simon raised his left leg and folded it over Cindy's little hand. He smiled and said, "If you think a dress is beautiful, you need to buy a company, but I can't buy it."

Cindy said: "$600 billion, it's not like you can buy whatever you want, like, um, elite."

Simon was noncommittal.

Cindy was interested and continued to instigate: "I really think Chloe is very suitable, it has its own unique style and does not conflict with Melisandre's existing brands, you see, Gucci is publicity, Versace is Gorgeous, ck is avant-garde, Burberry is classic, and Chloe, I think it is rebellious enough, just like this dress on Karen, the design is very bold. Moreover, Chloe happens to be in a low period, just like a few years ago Like Gucci and ck, it's a good time to hunt for the bottom."

Simon raised his eyebrows slightly, but he really wanted to ask Cindy if he knew why some brands such as Chloe had fallen into a low period again in recent years?

The words are still on the lips in time.

This is the Melisandre development strategy that only he and Sophia have spoken to privately.

In fact, it is still those four words: one trades off the other.

After winning a number of brands in a row, Melisandre's 'aircraft carrier battle group' model has been completely formed. The next thing to do is to continue to squeeze the market share of other first- and second-tier luxury brands through continuous expansion, and eventually as much as possible. Competitors are completely wiped out.

Simon didn't know much about Chloe.

However, since it is not a brand under Melisandre, it can only be a competitor.

In Cindy's words, it was said that 'Lafayette' Carla Lagerfeld personally served as the creative director of Chloe and failed to stop the decline of the brand. Perhaps there are reasons for the brand's own business strategy mistakes, but there is definitely no lack of Mei Li Sandra is getting more and more powerful to squeeze her living space.

In fact, Simon is currently executing the same strategy in Hollywood.

The current targets are mainly Columbia, Disney and Paramount, all of which happen to be in the hands of overseas companies.

If it was a few years ago, in order to avoid the backlash of other Hollywood studios because Daenerys Entertainment was too strong, Simon would take the initiative to cooperate with these companies on some projects.

This is the reason why the latest batch of collaborative films did not include the three Columbia films.

In fact, doing so may also make the three behind-the-scenes overseas giants sell them again in order to stop their losses, and may return to the hands of American companies. However, after repeated tossing, these former Hollywood studios, even if they can continue Survival, it must only be in the ranks of second-tier studios, and can no longer be tied with several first-tier giants such as Daenerys Entertainment.

Certain things cannot be revealed to Cindy, and Simon just joked: "I can't believe that you still think about these things on weekdays. Do you also plan to create a fashion brand?"

Seeing that Simon changed the subject, Cindy didn't continue, and said, "Of course I thought about it, but I also know that I might screw up, so don't bother."

"Very self-aware," Simon smiled and asked again, "How about your Fair Game?"

When Simon mentioned this, Cindy was a little disappointed: "Warner has set the schedule, and the schedule is on October 13."

"Cemetery."

Every year, January, February and September are the most unpopular periods in the North American film market, commonly known as the film cemetery. Although there are occasionally dark horses, most of the films that were thrown out during this period were often not favored by the studios, and there were not many real successes.

Cindy starred in the Cold War spy film

"Fair Game", Simon happened to have an impression in his memory.

This is the first female lead film in history that Cindy Crawford has attempted to break into Hollywood, and it will also be the last. The blockbuster production budget of $50 million ended in a fiasco at the box office. The first-generation supermodel who emerged in the 1980s gradually retired, choosing to marry and have children to return to the family.

Simon had dissuaded Cindy from participating in the film at the beginning, and now, judging from Warner's set schedule, the quality of the film is still unsatisfactory.

Hollywood circles are actually very superstitious. Even if the failure of the final film is not on the actors, other film companies will avoid the main creators because of the failure of the project.

Cindy had already seen the demo of "Fair Game" and didn't have any expectations for this movie. Hearing what Simon said, her expression became a little more pitiful. She touched and touched Simon's leg with her little hand, and took the opportunity to say: " Simon, I want to sign another three-year contract with Victoria's Secret, what do you think?"

Simon was not moved by Cindy's little gestures and expressions, he shook his head directly, and said, "I have other arrangements for this matter. If I remember correctly, you were born in 1966 and will be 30 years old next year. Haven't you thought about it? Do something else?"

Cindy froze for a moment, and quickly said: "I thought about it, I failed, Simon, please, I can get the same endorsement salary as them, even if I sign for another two years, how about it?"

Simon reacted, and he just mentioned "Fair Game", which is obviously a failure of transformation. Hearing Cindy's conditions, he still shook his head and said, "This is too cheap for you, so don't want it. In addition, even if you step down as a spokesperson, you can continue to be on the Victoria's Secret runway."

How can the resources that can be obtained from a simple catwalk and a Victoria's Secret spokesperson be the same.

Seeing Cindy to say more, Simon waved his hand: "This matter is not discussed, Cindy, in fact, IELTS will also retire with you this time, but she has signed for five years, and she still insists on quitting, intending to do some behind-the-scenes, You should learn from her."

When Cindy heard the words, her tone suddenly became a bit sour: "If I also had 100 million US dollars, I would retire directly now. Simon, how about you recommend me to invest in some Internet projects, similar to instagram?"

"There have been a lot of opportunities in the last year or two, like Igret, which is about to go public soon, and Tinkerbell and Melisandre, if you're interested, you can subscribe for a batch of shares with money, I Say hello to you."

Cindy questioned: "I read in the newspapers that the IPO valuations of these companies are too high, saying that there is no room for growth."

Simon's tone was firm: "There must be."

Cindy's expression is still hesitant. She is one of the veteran supermodels who is more able to manage money. She has accumulated a good net worth over the years. If it was a start-up project like instagram back then, it would be no problem for her to spend hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. She was a little reluctant to buy shares in companies such as Igret.

Now many media believe that the bubble of the new technology industry is very serious and may burst at any time. Even if she is asked to take out some of her savings, it will still make people very distressed in case it goes to waste.

Cindy would rather invest in real estate than in stocks.

Seeing that the girl didn't agree, Simon didn't say much. At this stage, Cisco's stock price has gone further, breaking through the $200 billion mark, and other AOL, Microsoft and other companies have also reached a market value of 100 billion. In the eyes of many people, these companies already exist. A very serious bubble component is actually a fact, but in Simon's view, there is still a long way to go before the new technology industry bubble reaches its peak.

For Cindy, it is very rare for Simon to give some pointers, just like the last time he advised the girl not to participate in "Fair Game", after all, it has nothing to do with herself, if the other party doesn't listen, Simon is too lazy to force it.

Fernanda Lima, who finally made the coffee, came over at this time, holding a cup of hot coffee, came to Simon with some embarrassment, and said, "Sorry, Mr. Westeros, there are only disposable paper cups. ."

Simon nodded, retracted his legs on the desk, and sat up. Because of his instinctive cleanliness, his feet did not want to fall on the ground, and he raised his legs slightly and lowered his head to look for his leather shoes.

Karen Mulder, who just opened her head and couldn't speak again, saw the man's movements, suddenly squatted down, took Simon's leather shoes, and noticed that the squatting posture was still a little high, and simply knelt on the floor, Like a docile maid, help men put on shoes flatteringly.

Simon was also polite, turned the leather chair slightly, one foot was held in Karen Mulder's hand, and the other was placed on the girl's elastic thigh. Seeing Cindy's hesitant expression, he gestured with a smile. Next: "Don't you want to help me put on my shoes?"

Cindy rolled her eyes and saw that Karen Mulder had taken the man's other foot, so she had to say, "I'm not your maid."

"Oh, it's not easy to be my maid. You don't seem to be up to the mark except for being pretty."

Cindy reacted, thinking of abcd, of Alice Ferguson, of Sophia Fisher...as if, indeed.

After putting on the two shoes, Simon patted on his knee. Karen Mulder did not get up, but stepped forward and lay on the man's lap obediently.

Taking the coffee from Fernanda's hand next to him, Simon took a sip, then looked at the girl at his feet and looked at him in a flattering manner, and asked, "So, what's the matter with you? Didn't Grey already sign the contract? Are you, this time she is in charge of Elite, it will only benefit you more?"

Karen Mulder hesitated and didn't know how to answer, and Cindy, who couldn't stand her flattery, had already revealed the bottom line: "Grey and John had a falling out last week,

Qusi and the others were all standing with Grey, only she couldn't wait to switch to John's name. "

Karen Mulder glared at the talkative Cindy, then turned to Simon quickly, her thoughts turned slightly, the girl did not argue, but said pitifully: "Simon, I was wrong, can you tell Grey? Say, spare me this time, I promise, there will be no next time."

"It seems to be serious," Simon leaned against the arm of the leather chair, reached out to pick the girl's chin, and said, "However, seeing how good you were just now, I'll talk to Grey later, and I'll let you go this time. already."

"Oh thank you Simon, I really appreciate you"

Karen Mulder didn't doubt Simon's right to speak in front of Grace at all. She thought a catastrophe was about to happen, but she didn't expect things to pass so easily. While saying thank you words, she couldn't hold back her tears. Ever since she got the news of Elite's upheaval in the morning and realized what happened, she almost collapsed.

Simon looked at the girl who was grinning, crying and laughing beside his legs, but there was no contempt in his heart.

The young girl who is only 25 years old now, has been in her debut for 10 years, and climbed to the current position after ups and downs. She can also more deeply understand how difficult it is to reach the top of the fashion industry, and she is more and more afraid of everything.

Karen Mulder, who was once in history, suffered from depression because of the decline of her career in the late 1990s. She was constantly reshaped like obsessive-compulsive disorder, and there were all kinds of hysteria.

In the final analysis, still can not put down Vanity Fair.

In fact, most people who enter this circle are like this.

Whether in fashion circles or Hollywood.

Just like Robert Downey Jr. Later, people only saw the various scenes of this Marvel brother, but they didn’t know that Downey not only fell into drug addiction for a long time before he became popular with Iron Man, but also broke down in private more than once. , cried and complained to his friends why he didn't have the opportunity like Leonardo, and why he couldn't be as popular as Johnny Depp.

Robert Downey Jr. was born in the second generation of Hollywood. He could show his face in his father's movies at the age of 7. Compared with those young actors who have no foundation at all, Downey has never lacked opportunities since his debut. He can win an Oscar in his twenties. Nominated for Best Actor, so I feel more deeply the scenery at the top of Vanity Fair.

However, the more so, the more unable to let go.

Who can let go?

Even Simon himself, who once thought he was free and easy, was indifferent enough to what he already had. However, this kind of indifference is actually because he knows that he has enough and that it is difficult to be taken away by others.

If Simon were to suddenly lose all of this now, he would probably go crazy too.
