Rebirth: It's Like Flowing Water Chapter 278

As the godfather of fashion, Carla Lagerfeld has heard of Qi Lei's recent small moves in the fashion circle.

how to say? Extremely angry.

It takes a lot of money and energy to establish authority in an industry. The capital value behind it is also immeasurable.

What Qi Lei is doing is destroying the order of the fashion industry for nearly a century.

This is of course intolerable for Lagerfeld, who is like an emperor in the fashion circle.

However, there was nothing he could do about it.

In a world of capital where everything can be quantified in money, everything is business.

Lagerfeld could not make those short-sighted fashion media and industry leaders give up the real money that Qi Lei handed over, let alone the power of capital.

Of course, the main reason for the inability to do anything is not that Qi Lei gave too much. The amount of money Qi Lei scattered out is an astronomical amount for some people. But compared to the losses he has brought to the industry, it is not worth mentioning at all.

The reason why Galeries Lafayette feels powerless is that Qi Lei's muscles are hard enough.

At this time, Carla Lagerfeld faced this young man from the East with a complicated expression.

First of all, from an aesthetic point of view, this is a likable male sample. Very individual facial features, sufficient height, and the powerful aura of the looming superior.

The second is the indifferent smile that makes Lagerfeld hate it so much. Beneath the beautiful skin is the explosive power of the world of capital.

No one dares to underestimate this little Chinese man. Behind him is the B Palace, Wall Street, and Penguin's huge social network.

Before receiving today's appointment, Lagerfeld went online to find out about this kid.

I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it.

Netizens in the Penguin community even called him the Internet God.

This is an honor that even Bill Gates has not been able to obtain.

A considerable number of netizens assert that as long as Qi Lei maintains his legendary performance, he will become one of the greatest entrepreneurs in the information age in the 21st century.

Its social networks, operating systems, smartphones and other businesses will rule the Internet for three decades, or even longer.

Such a capital boss, Lafayette can't be provoked.

Reluctantly squeezed out a kind smile, "Mr. Qi invited me, why?"

The opposite Qi Lei smiled brightly. He did not regard himself as a boss, even though he knew very well the reason for Lagerfeld's restrained performance.

However, Qi Lei didn't have any airs in the first place. Besides, he actually admired Lagerfeld very much.

Anyone who can achieve the level of Lagerfeld in his professional field is worthy of respect.

Well, although I heard that this "old goblin" likes little fresh meat.

However, it has nothing to do with Qi Lei, and he did not come to see Lagerfeld today to demonstrate.

Turning around, he took two nanmu boxes from Zhao Wei, "First meeting, a little thought, I hope you like it."

Lagerfeld was stunned, but he didn't expect Qi Lei to prepare a gift. He hesitated for a while and didn't know whether to accept it or not.

Qi Lei simply opened a box and showed the contents in front of Lagerfeld, making Lagerfeld curious.

"what is this?"

Qi Lei, "This is a Chinese seal."

The material of the first-class Tian Huangshi, the seal is carved with simple craftsmanship, and it can be vaguely seen that it is the image of a model, which was specially customized for Lagerfeld.

Well, in order to customize this seal, the master who made the seal almost cursed his mother.

It's not such a good material, such a traditional thing, but a model is carved so that the master can't accept it.

The point is, this thing ruins its craftsmanship and ruins its reputation.

Because Qi Lei requires that the light carving is not counted, and it has to be set with colored diamonds.

Just think about how vulgar a piece of extremely precious Tian Huang is set with a pile of diamonds.

Of course, the introverted artistic conception of the original Chinese culture does not exist. Can the old master be in a hurry?

However, that's what Qi Lei wanted.

What introverted, artistic conception, don't look at Lagerfeld as Lafayette, he knows shit!

It's not necessarily pleasing, but it still has to follow the Western way, which is a direct one.

At this time, Lagerfeld really liked it.

He felt that this was Chinese elements, Chinese culture.

He picked up the seal with great interest and admired it carefully. The original complicated mood disappeared, "Is this my name?"

Qi Lei, "Of course!"

Lagerfeld, "Oh God, it's so beautiful!"

He raised his head excitedly, "Actually, we Germans also like to use stamps, but I'm not used to it. Thank you for your gift!"

Can't wait to call the assistant, "Go find a copy of the ink pad, right now!"

Before waiting for the assistant to respond, Qi Lei smiled first. Pushing the second box up, "You can try this!"

Lagerfeld was puzzled, and opened it to see that there was a small platinum box the size of a powder cake box, which was also inlaid with diamonds.

Picked up the small box and admired it, and found the words "Kara Lagerfeld" on it, indicating that it was specially made for him. The line on the lid is also a more representative design element of Lagerfeld.

When he opened the box, there was red ink pad inside.

Lagerfeld felt so comfortable!

Not to mention that in his eyes, the ink pad is not a rare thing, nor does it say the color, the red one, what he hates most now is the big one.

But with the thought and thoughtfulness of Mr. Qi, you can't fault it.

"Oh." Lagerfeld groaned exaggeratedly, "Qi, you are too thoughtful, thank you so much."

I couldn't wait to try the seal and printed the English signature of Meigongti. It seems that the ink pad is also mixed with gold foil, and in the red, there is a faint twinkling of gold stars.

All right......

Emperor Ming!

But at this time, Lagerfeld didn't feel kitsch at all, and admired it like a "girl" for a long time.

Eventually, "I thought, I'm going to get out of the habit of signing and use a stamp to sign documents."

Lagerfeld is a person who doesn't hide his preferences very well, and is very direct.

Although he doesn't hate bright red with bright yellow, he still stubbornly believes that the red ink pad is too bright. If he can change it to blue, black, or other colors, it is best to change it every day according to his mood. Color is even better.

He raised his head and said to his assistant, "I remember that there is an old British shop specializing in ink pads in London. Go and get in touch. I need all the colors of ink pads from them. Immediately!"

The assistant responded and turned to leave.

Qi Lei, however, looked at Zhao Wei and Rossi, and seemed helplessly silent.

Looking at it, Lagerfeld also found that it was inappropriate to be so anxious, and hurriedly explained, "Qi! Don't get me wrong, I like your gift very much, but you know, I'm a designer, I need more lots of colors."

But Wen Qi Lei replied, "No, no, it's because I didn't consider it thoroughly enough, I should have prepared a few more ink pads!"

"In this way, I will send you a few other colors later."

"Is that so?" Lagerfeld said happily, "Then I can call the assistant back. Compared with the ink pad from the old shop, I think a friend's gift is more meaningful."

"This..." Qi Lei was embarrassed, "Then you should let her buy it back and use it first!"

Lagerfeld, "Why?"

This time, Rossi spoke first and looked at the ink pad on the table. "Mr. Lagerfeld, as far as I know, it will take at least three years to make such a Chinese ink pad."

"Most of the ink pads in China are red, and other colors need to be made. Therefore, you may not receive Mr. Qi's gift for several years."

Rossi said in his heart, this old-fashioned turtle doesn't really think this is an ordinary ink pad, does it?

Qi Lei's shot is still a gift to a luxury godfather, how could it be ordinary, it is a luxury in China!

Not to mention the price, just the stories and cultural heritage. Anyway, after Rossi got to know it, he was a little speechless. He can only say that the Chinese really know how to play.

On the Lagerfeld side, he stared blankly at Rossi, then at the ink pad, and finally fixed his gaze on Qi Lei. "Does it take so long? A copy of the ink pad."

Rossi, "This is called Longquan Yinmu. It uses lotus root fiber as the material. Only 10,000 kg of lotus root can get 50 grams of fiber."

Lagerfeld: "…"

Rossi, "It will take three years of indifference to finally become the main ingredient for making ink pads."

Lagerfeld: "…"

Rossi, "This is a process that originated from hundreds of years ago. The ink pad produced will not solidify in winter, not seep oil in summer, not disperse if soaked in water, and will not melt in fire. Even after a hundred years, it still maintains its original state. color."

With a proud smile, "Mr. Lagerfeld, don't underestimate this box of ink pads, its value is actually more precious than a seal."

Lagerfeld, "…"

real or fake? I'm getting old, don't lie to me!

Out of curiosity, I took out a lighter and burned the name I just printed.

As a result, really, the paper has been burned to ashes, and the printed name is still clearly visible, not even deformed.

"It's really amazing!"

Suddenly I feel that the old ink pad shop in London is not fragrant.

At this time, Qi Lei said, "It doesn't matter, you can use other ink pads first. I will ask someone to order them for you, and rush to work. It won't take three years."

However, after being silent for a while, Lagerfeld still called the assistant and called back, "I can use the red one first!"

Who is he, the godfather of fashion, he is so stinky!

It's fine if he didn't know before, but now, if you ask him to use other brand-name ink pads, he's not happy anymore!

Can only sigh, what is culture? What is luxury? China's luxury goods, you have never heard of it, you can't even think about it!

Finally no longer entangled in the issue of ink pad, he let out a long breath, his impression of Qi Lei has been completely changed.

It used to be anger, hatred, and jealousy, but now, this boy is more and more pleasing to the eye.

"Tell me, Qi! What's your purpose in coming to me? I owe you a favor."

In this regard, Qi Lei smiled and didn't hide it, "Actually, it's still about the fashion industry!"

Lagerfeld laughed after hearing it, "Oh. Damn it! The fashion industry is about to be destroyed in your hands."

The tone was not reproach, but ridicule.

Qi Lei, "To be honest, I really don't want to ruin the fashion circle."

Lagerfeld, "Don't you want to?"

This is a lot different from what he heard!

In fact, Lagerfeld had received invitations from others earlier, one of whom was called Oakley, the vulgar "farmer" who was in the grain business.

Oakley hoped that Lagerfeld could use his influence in the fashion circle to stabilize the chaos and not let Qi Lei continue to be a **** stick.

Moreover, Oakley told him that Qi Lei's purpose is to destroy the fashion discourse power in Europe and the United States, and then let him re-establish a new order.

At that time, it will not benefit anyone.

But now, Qi Lei says he doesn't want to ruin the fashion circle?

"Qi!" Lagerfeld said solemnly, "Are you telling the truth?"

Qi Lei answered without hesitation, "Yes!"

Shrugged, "Did someone tell you that I want to start over?"

"People who say such things are either stupid or bad!"

Lagerfeld, "???"

Qi Lei, "First of all, I am a Chinese. I never shy away from this, and I know how much resistance it will bring to my actions."

Lagerfeld nodded, "You are a sober Chinese entrepreneur."

Lagerfeld agrees, and the label of Chinese in the Western world represents an aberration. Don't look at Qi Lei's confusion, that's because he didn't touch the bottom line.

Some things, unless he is the President of the United States, is impossible.

Qi Lei, "So ah, I never thought of destroying the Western fashion circle and then becoming an authority myself."

Lagerfeld, "Then what are you going to do?"

Qi Lei, "Having hired a bunch of trash designers, it's time to hire a real master to quell this mess, isn't it?"

Lagerfeld didn't understand any more, and tentatively asked: "You want to invite me to do the design?"

Qi Lei, "Yes!"

Lagerfeld, "For your brand?"

Qi Lei, "No, no, no, no! You just need to design a series of works with Chinese color schemes and Chinese elements, and that's it."

Qi Lei thought of Lagerfeld as a designer for his brand, but unfortunately, the old goblin and Chanel were almost tied to death, and they couldn't be dug out.

"How is it?" Qi Lei looked at Lagerfeld sincerely, "Would you like to help me with this?"

"This..." Lagerfeld hesitated, mainly because he didn't understand Qi Lei's motive.

I design, not for your brand design, but also must be Chinese style, Chinese elements, then what is your purpose?

Lagerfeld couldn't figure it out, he didn't understand what the business logic was.

It seems that there is no business logic, then there is no business logic, that is other logic.

what logic? The logic of Chinese cultural export?

This makes Lagerfeld have to be cautious.

In this regard, Qi Lei's answer was very simple, and Lagerfeld dispelled his concerns in two sentences.

"You think too much. I don't want to have any ideological struggle with the Americans. It's a child's game."

"As for business logic..." Qi Lei paused, completely arousing Lagerfeld's curiosity.

And the following words make the fashion godfather's heart beat faster.

"Mr. Lagerfeld, have you thought about making yourself the godfather of fashion a step further?"

Lagerfeld was puzzled, "Going further? How to go further?"

Of course I do! However, to achieve Lagerfeld's current achievements, it is difficult for UU reading www.uukanshu.com to make any breakthroughs.

Qi Lei, "For example, Fashion God!?"

Lagerfeld: "…"

Qi Lei, "For example, create a whole new aesthetic genre!"

Lagerfeld: "!

In fact, this is Qi Lei's business logic and his communication purpose.

The so-called promotion of Chinese clothing trade and increase of added value, just relying on him to fool around, relying on what color matching, what Chinese style, is not enough to support the purpose of this communication.

However, an aesthetic genre created by Westerners themselves can.

Qi Lei, "Rice style wild wind..."

“Italian classic...”

“French elegance....”

“British Gentleman Style...”

“Japanese minimalist style...”

Playing with the box of ink pads, "Are you interested in creating a [Chinese-style artistic conception]? [Chinese-style freehand brushwork] Whatever you want, I will support you with financial, human and material resources!"

Lagerfeld: "…"

Ah, the old heart almost burst.
