Chapter 418: The Ancestors Give Me a Gift
I have seen LV designers pondering for a whole year, and then changing the color of a product and launching it as a new model. After it was launched on the market, it sold out and was snapped up by many girls.
I have also seen the exterior designers of Porsche 911. They just changed a few places and the new generation of major facelift models was successfully launched.
The product has not changed much in decades, it's almost like copying and pasting, so the work is so easy.
Not to mention the highly praised artist who draws the waistline for Rolls-Royce, earning tens of thousands of dollars with just a few strokes of his hand.
Just go to any ceramic capital and look around, and with a little practice, you will find that many apprentices currently earning one or two thousand yuan a month can actually do it.
Fan Wumian himself had been caught in the rain.
I have frowned and wondered more than once, why is it that residents of some developed countries work from 9 to 5, have weekends off, and have three or four weeks of paid vacation each year, yet their incomes are much higher than those of residents of developing countries?
Later, I clearly realized that a group of European and American countries had robbed many developing countries of their value by relying on high-tech products, so-called international brands, spending money to control high-quality assets in various countries, and various international orders created by them.
In addition, many European countries have a small population, so the dividends distributed to each resident will certainly make people's lives easier and more prosperous.
After figuring out these principles, Fan Wumian would never be a sucker and help the Europeans who were relying on the merits of their ancestors to continue creating comfortable jobs, and would only be willing to pay high salaries to some hard-working employees.
Take Pu Jiajing, a personal assistant, for example. Based on the average income in the mainland, her bonus is equivalent to several years of work for an ordinary person, and her basic salary has been greatly increased in the past two years.
In fact, she only has a complete holiday during the Spring Festival. She is on call 24 hours a day at other times. Only when Fan Wumian has nothing to do can she get half a day or a day of fragmented vacation.
Although the work was not heavy, she was busy on business trips all year round, sacrificing her time for socializing, dating, etc., and always revolving around him.
Especially after the business grew bigger, she might receive phone calls at any time from morning to night and report some emergencies to Fan Wumian, leaving her with almost no life of her own.
Because he couldn't bear to see others taking advantage of his company to make a living, after acquiring Valentino, Fan Wumian set up a separate "women's bag and leather goods design department" in Macau, next to Hong Kong City, and all the employees came from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.
After acquiring all ownership rights of the Feili brand in Greater China, the company's headquarters was also moved to Australia City.
The official website of Macao City took the initiative to invite Fan Wumian to start a company. Compared with Hong Kong City, the salary expenses of Macao City are much lower, and there are also many tax and fee reduction supports.
to this end.
At the end of last month, Fan Wumian specially arranged for someone to buy a 9-storey sea view residence on Taipa Island in Macau, and all taxes were waived.
There are 4 large unfinished flats on each floor, which will be temporarily used as office buildings after simple decoration. The actual usable area is 8990 square meters, which means only RMB 5180 per square meter.
The house prices in Australia City are still low, but the office rents are not cheap.
Considering the high annual expenses of renting an office building, it is obviously better to use the rent directly as a down payment, and enjoy the benefits brought by the appreciation of the Australian real estate market while operating the business normally.
In addition, the interest on buying a property can also be deducted from taxes, which has prompted many powerful companies to prefer purchasing real estate themselves.
Australian city.
The unfinished residential building purchased by Fan Wumian in the name of Feili Company is still in the decoration stage.
The employees of the newly formed Valentino "Women's Bags and Leather Goods Design Department" temporarily worked near the Grand Lisboa Hotel and rented an office of more than 160 square meters.
Including the department head, there are only 11 employees in total for now, so there is more than enough office space.
The only task they received was to reshape Valentino's women's bags, belts, wallets and other products. A press conference is expected to be held at the end of the year to publicly unveil the new series of products.
Before the press conference, the new product had to complete production, transportation, distribution and other links, leaving them with only 40 days in total for the design.
There was no clear idea at first, only a sample drawing drawn by Fan Wumian himself, with drafts of a messenger bag, bucket bag, hobo bag, etc. drawn on the paper.
Things like what kind of leather to use, what pattern to print, what material the hardware is made of, etc. were not mentioned. It all depends on the women's bag and leather goods design department to play freely.
When the news came that "the new series needs to draw on the patterns of Chinese bronze ware, Sanxingdui elements, and the women's bag shapes in ancient paintings", the employees in the design department were both excited and regretful.
The excitement was because it had become a "propositional composition". There were too many good materials left by our ancestors, and the difficulty of design would be greatly reduced. The regret was because the news came too late. Since the department was established for less than half a month, these employees have spent countless brain cells to show themselves as much as possible in front of the new boss.
Just like Party B who had their draft revised at the last minute by Party A, they cursed and complained that Fan Wumian did not make his requirements clear earlier, and then hurried to start redesigning.
When they actually started collecting relevant materials, these people discovered that their ancestors had unintentionally paved the way for future generations.
Like the Sanxingdui golden mask, if you slightly change the proportions, it can be directly used as a bag or belt buckle. Just find a place to print the English trademark of Warentino on it. It will be eye-catching and full of heritage.
There are also animal face patterns, cloud-thunder patterns, rope patterns, and taotie patterns on bronze ware, which can be used directly, causing these designers to become more and more excited as they draw, and they feel like burning some paper money as a copyright fee to their ancestors.
What I worried about before was that I couldn’t find good ideas.
Now we have to worry about how to make the choices because there are too many materials to refer to.
A director and two supervisors of the design department discussed the matter and prepared to work overtime to design more styles, which would then be handed over to Fan Wumian for personal selection.
Far away in Rome, Italy.
Monica Bellucci, the global spokesperson who had been booked by Fan Wumian in advance, arrived at Valentino headquarters early this morning.
After she signed the contract, she visited the haute couture workshop and sat there wearing only a black bra on her upper body, with suspender black stockings showing under her short skirt, allowing the staff to mold her chest.
In addition, there are photographers sent by the advertising planning company to take pictures on the side, which will be used as materials for subsequent external publicity.
Monica Bellucci felt honored that Fan Wumian wanted to use her deep V-neck curves to redesign Valentino's letter "V" brand logo.
I believe that after the news is reported, she will be in the spotlight again. After all, this "V" sign is so eye-catching that it has the chance to be talked about by the outside world without excessive hype.
While waiting for the silicone on her chest to solidify, Monica Bellucci looked in the mirror and asked the staff:
"Where is your new boss, Mr. Fan? He's not in Rome today?"
A white girl working at Valentino's headquarters was secretly impressed by Monica's stunning beauty. She pushed up her glasses and replied:
"Mr. Fan is not here. He has not been here since he took over the company. He only sent a team to take over the work. If I remember correctly, he seems to have gone to Hollywood to make a movie, right? Working with Jennifer Connelly."
Zuo Ziyan was busy studying and only became famous in Asia after filming "Those Years", which led to Paramount Pictures promoting the film in advance, focusing on Jennifer Connelly.
Thinking of the straightforward way Fan Wumian looked at her during his stay in Cannes, France, Monica Bellucci suspected that he liked mature women and secretly hooked up with Jennifer Connelly.
This thought went in a circle, and Monica Bellucci continued:
"It's okay. I only met him once in Cannes. I never thought he would actually give me the endorsement opportunity and sign a three-year contract at once."
Compared with Hollywood, the income of European stars is generally not high, which makes artists eager to develop in Hollywood after they have made a name for themselves in Europe.
The three-year contract given to Monica Bellucci is worth a total of 450 million euros, averaging 150 million euros per year, which is enough to attract countless darlings in the fashion circle.
The female employee of the company then asked:
"What's the personality of our new boss? All I know is that he's very young and a wealthy celebrity."
Monica Bellucci said without hesitation:
"He is a very charming person. You can't feel any aggression from him. He is very smart, elegant and handsome. It should be comfortable to work under him. If I were 20 years younger, I would be happy to date him."
The female employee pointed at her proud curves and said with emotion:
“He is really smart. He can come up with a new logo like this. People in the advertising company praised him as a genius and said it is hard to find a sexier brand logo than this.”
Monica Bellucci just laughed after hearing this.
In terms of "sexiness", she is indeed unrivaled and has the capital to be proud of.
