American Life

Chapter 129 Cosmetics and Fashion Field

"Taylor Swift? Which artist is yours?"

"That's right, your two personalities just complement each other and you can get along well."

Charlie now talks to Taylor every day, which is necessary as her new album needs its own promotion.

But I don’t want another Taylor-like girl, so it’s not bad to let the two of them be friends and consume their strong energy.

Taylor is a straight girl and will not be abducted by Kristen.

"What do you think?" Charlie asked again.

"Okay." Christine could only agree reluctantly.

After hanging up the phone, Charlie spent a pleasant night with Gisele Bündchen, the mattress rocking like a helpless boat on a rough sea.

Returning to Chicago again, Charlie was accompanied by four beauties: Kayla Jiawen's youth and beauty, Artis's business calmness, Gabra Ella's gentleness and thoughtfulness, and Gisele Bundchen's tallness and sharpness, even if they were not at the airport Being recognized still attracted many people's attention.

Thomas also fulfilled his promise. When Charlie's funds arrived, the relevant staff started working, which is enough to show his deep connections in related fields.

Within a few days, Taylor and Faith Hill also moved their residence temporarily, plus several nannies, and the villa became lively again.Plus there’s Gisele Bündchen.

The last time they met was when they were shooting the cover. When they met again, the two hugged cordially.

"Congratulations on your comeback."

"I also wish you great success in the film industry."

"Thank you. I heard you're pregnant."

"Yes, do you need me to share some experiences with you?"

Then the two of them sat on the sofa hand in hand and shared their experiences as an expectant mother.

"Charlie, the cameras have been installed. There are more than 20 of them. There are also many mini cameras in the living room." At this time, Artis stood next to Charlie and reported.

"Everything has started filming, right?" Charlie asked subconsciously.

"That's right, filming has already started."

Charlie turned around and looked at the three secretaries behind him.

"Relax, the editing rights are in my hands, and your gaffes will not be leaked." Charlie said in relief.

That night, Charlie and Taylor went for a walk.

"Kristen called me on the phone and asked me about what kind of cat I should get. We agreed to go out this weekend. Do you want to come with us?" Taylor Swift held Charlie's hand.

Just behind the two, two photographers followed slowly with cameras.

There are cameras in the interior, but photographers are needed in the exterior. Now there are photographers on standby outside Charlie's house at all times, recording almost all of his business activities, including going to the company.

Looking at Swift's eager eyes, Charlie couldn't refuse.

"alright."

"You seem to be speaking very reluctantly." Taylor walked up to Charlie, leaned in and kissed Charlie.

"Between lovers, of course there must be a date." Charlie reminded them of their current identities.

He and Taylor were essentially in a relationship and didn't go any further.

It was Taylor who asked for this at first, but now Charlie is enjoying the current situation.

Simply falling in love seemed very precious to him.

The two wandered outside for nearly an hour. After returning to the residence, Charlie took Stephanie, Faith Hill and Gisele Bundchen upstairs.Of course, these are inconvenient to display to the outside world.

At noon the next day, Charlie received a phone call.

He was somewhat surprised by the caller.

If the other party hadn't explained his intention in advance, Charlie wouldn't have answered his call at all.

Tom Ford.

The two once met at a fashion party hosted by VOUGE magazine, which made the fashion godmother a little ashamed.

"Charlie Rossi, those nylon socks are all crazy now. I have a better suggestion. Are you interested?"

Tom Ford did not mention the slight awkwardness that had arisen from their last meeting, but instead mentioned business.

"I am listening."

"We will produce a set of joint lipsticks, printed with PB's logo. In fact, I had this idea before, but considering that the lipsticks are only for female customers, and your magazine may not be liked by women, my worries are gone now. I don't think they're against the PB brand."

"So, why don't we take advantage of this trend and add fuel to the fire? What do you think?"

"I can give you % of the net profit. In addition, I want to list it on your PB mall. The channel profit will be calculated separately and it will all belong to you."

Tom Ford showed due sincerity. PB Company did not need to do anything to get % of the net profit of each lipstick.

This is called business without capital.

"Sounds good, but there is another set of cooperation modes. I wonder if you are interested?"

"What form of cooperation?"

“Let this collaboration continue forever.”

"You mean...acquisition?"

This was Charlie's original intention, and now that the first product was an instant hit, it was time to expand into other categories.

Relying on the golden brand name of tf, we can penetrate into the fields of cosmetics and fashion.

Considering that even if I don't take action, tf will be sold to Maybelline as a whole in a few years.Charlie felt it was a very safe business.

"Sorry, Charlie, this may be contrary to my original intention." Tom Ford said no.

"No, this is not asking you to get out. TF will still operate independently and your position will not change, but it will be integrated into the group." Charlie Rossi explained.

"This situation is not common. I have to explore the opinions of each shareholder."

"Then use this joint branding as an opportunity. If the sales are good, you will have the bargaining chip to go back and negotiate. If the results are not satisfactory, just pretend that I never said it." Charlie took a step back.

"This proposal is not bad. We both need to consider the risks. So let's start with this?"

After hanging up the phone, Charlie focused on the computer screen.

The countdown to the launch of the second batch of products is approaching.

The final result was that the show was sold out in 10 minutes.

Although there is some difference compared to the previous light speed sell-out, in fact this time there is no adulteration.

Even the most expensive models with astronomical prices were all sold, with not a single piece left.

Only then could Charlie be truly sure that the item was a success!
Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once you get this most critical first step, the subsequent sales situation will not be too ugly no matter what happens.

Taking into account the ultra-high profits, it will provide yourself with a steady stream of cash flow!

He called Atis in.

"We've got to have a celebration dinner tonight! Celebrate well."

"But Ivani is not here. She has gone back to New York and won't be back until tomorrow."

"Then change it to tomorrow. She is the protagonist."
