Bright Throne

Ever since he met Shen Da in Milan, Qin Yi has officially put the preparation of a model agency on the agenda. He didn't go to see the Jones Macaulay investor that Shen Da said immediately, but went back to China to integrate All the resources he has at hand.

It's too shabby to be alone with him and Ji Hangfeng and Shen Da, but it will make a big difference to get all-round support from the Bai family brothers and sisters, Selgeland, Jon, and Pei Hanrui.

In the past two years, Qin Yi has gradually climbed from a little-known model to the position of a world famous model. Countless catwalks, advertisements, and endorsement remuneration add up, and there are not a few deposits in the bank. If he wants to open a small business in China The company is more than enough, but obviously he is not content with small companies, since he wants to do it, he simply does a big job seriously.

Qin Yi has signed contracts with three different modeling agencies successively, and he knows all kinds of rules in this industry. The giant currents in the industry, etc., have unconsciously formed a huge network of relationships around him.

In the fashion industry, network resources are often more important than the funds invested. If a brokerage company wants to grow bigger, it does not necessarily rely on how outstanding and extraordinary the models in hand are, but how many people sell them. The "way" out.

Now, Qin Yi has enough confidence.

Due to the current domestic fashion industry is underdeveloped, whether it is consumption level, model quality, fashion brands, etc., are far from international standards, so that most of the model agencies are not successful, and most of the country's model resources are concentrated in individual large-scale brokers In the company, such as Tianlu, SX, and TD where Qin Yi originally worked.

When I was sitting in the country and watching the sky, I thought it was a great thing to be able to enter TD. Now, in Qin Yi's eyes, TD is no different from a roadside stall.

However, lagging behind also has its advantages, that is, the competitive pressure to enter the industry is relatively small, and for Qin Yi, it can be regarded as taking advantage of a lot.

After everything was ready, Qin Yi, who had stayed in Paris for two days through Shen Da's leadership, finally met Mr. Jones McCauley at a reception.

Rather than "taking the lead", it would be better to say that Shen Da was shamelessly trying to pimp Jones in front of Jones. His thick skin and demeanor were even worse than when Qin Yiqiu was appreciated by Searle.

This reception was held by a well-known wealthy businessman in the fashion industry in Paris. The guests who visited were all well-known celebrities in the industry, so they could all be mixed in by Shen Da. I have to say that this person is really powerful in a certain way .

"This is the third time I've said this to you, Mr. Shen, you can't convince me." The person who spoke was a hale and hearty old man, with gray hair neatly combed back, dressed in cheap clothes. Fei's custom-made suit, a pair of deeply sunken eyes, and the wrinkles on his face are not so obvious. A waiter happened to pass by, and Jones stopped him and asked for a glass of champagne.

"Mr. Macaulay, this time is different. I assure you, I only need to delay your time for 3 minutes to meet my boss." Shen Da didn't care about his refusal, and asked the waiter for a glass of wine by the way , as if he is also a celebrity worth tens of millions.

Many people around have noticed that Shen Da, who is incompatible with other guests, looks at him with disdain and contempt from time to time.

Although he has been harassed by Shen Da, Jones still fully displayed his gentlemanly demeanor and said politely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, the 3 minutes you said is really not very trustworthy, unless your boss doesn't agree with you." Then there are the third-rate little actors you hired from the street, and those familiar big men you mentioned are no longer small characters with the same name and surname."

Hearing their conversation, some people laughed aloud. Everyone has concluded that this guy is a liar who has pestered investors several times and tried to defraud money unsuccessfully. They even hope that the security guards can throw out this bastard who got in for no reason.

"Please trust me, this time..."

Jones interrupted him helplessly: "Mr. Shen, stop here, my time is precious, and you are not enough to occupy it."

"And me? Mr. Macaulay."

A calm and confident voice suddenly came from behind him. Jones turned around with surprise. The first thing he caught his eye was the uniquely designed champagne tie. Then he raised his eyes and saw the man's appearance. Some look familiar but can't remember where I've seen them.

The gorgeous chandelier cast a charming halo over the man's head. The other party naturally extended his right hand to Jones, and he subconsciously reached out to shake it.

Jones carefully sized up the strange man in front of him. He was tall and handsome with black hair and black pupils, with the reserved charm unique to Chinese people in his eyes. Behind him stood a man and a woman respectively. The man had a serious face in a suit and leather shoes, and the woman was graceful and graceful. Beautiful, and the appearance and temperament are quite extraordinary.

"Excuse me, is your Excellency?" Perhaps it was because his temperament and aura were higher than Shen Da's by more than one level, Jones' attitude towards him was obviously much better, and his tone couldn't help becoming cautious.

Before Qin Yi could speak, Shen Da had already taken a step forward, and introduced with a smile between the two: "This is my boss, you see, I am about to introduce him to you, my boss is Qin Yi, maybe you Saw him on the cover of the last issue of VLAO magazine."

"Oh, so it's Mr. Qin." Just mentioning this, Jones really got a little impression. It seems that there is no other Chinese male model who has become famous in the fashion celebrity circle recently, except for the one in front of him, but Shen Da said It's interesting that the boss is actually this person.

Jones pondered for a while, then shook his head calmly and said: "If you want to talk to me about investing in a modeling agency, then I'm afraid I have to say sorry to you, although there are examples of supermodels switching careers to start a brokerage company, but You have to know, there is no one that is really big, and I am not interested in making small troubles."

"Not before, doesn't mean there won't be in the future." Qin Yi smiled slightly, and said in a steady tone, "My agent Sergeland once told me that strength is an opportunity. The right project can only win once, but the investment in the right people can win long-term. I heard that Mr. McCauley has a long-term and precise vision, so how can he limit his thinking to previous experience?"

Jones looked at him, slowly showing a pensive expression, Qin Yi didn't urge him, but just waited quietly.

After a while, Jones finally gave him a chance, nodded and said, "Then, you can try to convince me, but I can only give you 3 minutes."

Seeing Qin Yi talking confidently and calmly with Jones, the smile on Shen Da's face grew bigger and bigger, and he couldn't help but poke Ji Hangfeng with his elbow, and lowered his voice quite excitedly: "Mr. She is indeed my idol, and she is really good at cultivating models."

The corners of Ji Hangfeng's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a fake smile: "No, you misunderstood, it's probably Qin Yi's nonsense..."

"...The general situation is like this. There are several famous modeling agencies in China. It would obviously cost too much for you to intervene at this time. I believe I will be your best candidate." Said it was 3 minutes, but in fact the two After talking for at least ten minutes, the situation was considered optimistic from Jones' expression, and Qin Yi winked at Bai Wei and the others without any trace.

Bai Wei immediately walked over cleverly, handed over a plan that had been prepared, and said generously: "Mr. Macaulay, please think about it carefully. Next time we will invite you to discuss this matter carefully. Please appreciate it. "

"I'll think about it." Jones took the plan, glanced at her inadvertently, and after a while, raised his head to look at the other party carefully, wondering, "Did I meet you somewhere?"

Bai Wei's eyes flashed, and she smiled subtly: "My name is Bai Wei, and I'm the secretary of our boss. My family is in the media industry in the United States. Maybe we've met before."

"Bai..." Jones thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that he had seen this little princess at the banquet of Bai's family when he was cooperating with American K Club last year.

If Shen Da found Qin Yi only slightly surprised him, now he is really shocked. It seems that there are still many surprises hidden behind this mysterious oriental man.

After thinking about it, Jones Macaulay immediately changed his words: "Why don't you make an appointment now."

Shen Da and Ji Hangfeng looked at each other, and they both saw disbelief and ecstasy in each other's eyes.

And Qin Yi on the other side didn't show the excitement in his heart at all, instead he looked very reserved and serious. He sang and sang with Bai Wei, and successfully left a deep and mysterious love in the eyes of this investor. impression.

Saying goodbye to Jones, Qin Yi still put on that pretentious air, shuttled leisurely among the guests, and whispered in Chinese with a low voice: "How am I doing today?"

Shen Da gave him a thumbs up, and sincerely praised: "What a fool, much better than the third-rate actors I invited."

"...Can you give me a good comparison?"

With a good start, the subsequent negotiations went very smoothly. After the cooperation between them was basically finalized, Jones and Qin Yi became more relaxed and casual when talking. He also expressed that he would be with his granddaughter after a while Going to China for a tour, and inspecting the Chinese market by the way, Qin Yi didn't think too much at that time, but just expressed his welcome politely.

It was only later that he discovered that sometimes the world is really not so small.

When Qin Yi opened the door with his suitcase, Pei Hanrui was rarely sitting on the sofa watching TV, talking on the phone with a smile, and seemed to be in a particularly good mood. When he saw Qin Yi coming back, he immediately waved to him.

"What are you so happy about?"

Qin Yi kicked off his slippers and sat next to him. Pei Hanrui finally said "nice job" to Zhang Er, hung up the phone, and pointed to the live broadcast on the TV——

The middle-aged man inside was surrounded by a group of reporters, his face was as smelly as a cracked stone, wasn't he the other protagonist of the plagiarism incident, Yu Fan?
