Chapter 325 The End of the Cocktail Party
Compared to the Victoria's Secret in a parallel universe, it only focuses on affordable underwear with a medium to low price.
Victoria's Secret in this time and space is backed by the consortium and Paladin Media.
In terms of development confidence, it is obviously much stronger than the original Victoria's Secret.
So the field they operate in is not limited to sexy lingerie.
After establishing a large enough base in the underwear field.
It also began to cooperate with the LVMH Group in Europe and made attempts in the field of haute couture clothing.
But after all, without the background, there are not many stories to tell. And we can't compete with LVMH Group, which is our own company, for business and positioning.
Therefore, the Victoria's Secret clothing brand does not follow the retro trend or focus on heritage.
Instead, we take the route of high-tech and fashion trends and become a high-tech company in the field of clothing brands.
We are ahead of the times in the fabrics used and the application of various textile technologies.
For example, the 18-micron liquid cashmere that Ivana just mentioned is actually made by using the best cashmere and a high-tech centrifuge to separate and break up the cashmere molecules, which are then synthesized with new materials to make a high-tech fabric based on cashmere.
It is closer to the skin and more comfortable to wear, but the price is also very expensive.
This is also the approach Victoria's Secret takes for its own clothing brand, that is, you get what you pay for with the materials, unlike LVMH which charges a small fee for your money.
It’s true, it’s welcomed by many wealthy people.
The first reason is that it is really comfortable to wear, and the second reason is that all the technological terms look so high-tech.
The third is that currently, Victoria's Secret is the only one doing this.
Or you could say that even this track was created by Victoria's Secret itself - a high-tech enterprise in the clothing industry, with the best technology in the industry worn by its richest customers!
Although LVMH Group is also Milo's company, it is far away in Europe after all.
Victoria's Secret's headquarters is in New York, and Ivana even signed a contract with Victoria's Secret, although she only walked in the show once.
Naturally, she is closer to Victoria's Secret and even plans to work there after graduating from university.
So privately, Ivana is also happy to portray herself as very familiar with Victoria's Secret, as this is the practice in her field.
But she was still too young after all, not to mention the other women among the white house ladies around her.
The "leader" Hillary is definitely an old witch who is well versed in human relationships.
Seeing Ivana like this, Hillary looked down on the daughter of the nouveau riche in her heart.
The first lady still smiled and said, "Yes, I also like Victoria's Secret. I bought several of their sweaters, which are really comfortable to wear. And they are not LV or Chanel, so it doesn't matter if I am photographed by the media wearing them, even though they are actually similar in price. So I think Victoria's Secret clothes are very suitable for people who work for the federal government."
These words sound like they are praising Victoria's Secret, or even promoting it, encouraging other federal government employees to buy and wear Victoria's Secret products.
But in fact, Hillary was secretly damaging Victoria's Secret.
Why do they say that they are not LV or Chanel, so it doesn't matter if they are photographed by the media wearing them? To put it bluntly, it is because Victoria's Secret is a rising star in the field of high-end fashion, or a nobody.
Because it is not famous enough, it does not give people the impression that its clothes must be expensive.
So even if they are photographed by the media wearing them, ordinary people cannot guess their price, so they are suitable for federal government employees.
With words like this, you can understand Hillary as praising her, or you can think of her as insulting her.
Some of the women around could hear it, but the young Ivana couldn't.
Maybe it will be the same in another ten years, but now when Ivana hears these words, she will only be happy to think that the First Lady agrees with her opinion.
Ivana became more and more happy and started chatting with Shilani and the others.
After a while, Ivana went to entertain other guests.
Dipa Gore, the spouse of the US deputy commander and the wife of Zipperton's right-hand man, immediately whispered in Hillary's ear: "What a self-righteous little bitch. She is just the daughter of a nouveau riche, and she is allowed to receive us. To be honest, I want to leave right away!"
Jacqueline Blumenthal, wife of Sidney Blumenthal, a senior aide to the Louisiana government, also whispered:
"Look at how she thinks she is the mistress. People who don't know her would think she will be named Blackburn in the future, but she just gave birth to a bastard child!"
To be honest, Jacqueline and the others were jealous.
I was jealous that Ivana, who was only seventeen years old, could come forward at this level of reception as a half-host and receive so many distinguished guests! Look, except for the wives or female officials of the White House officials.
Ivana also received the wives of the Koch brothers, Soros, and Warren Buffett's two wives.
And even these women must maintain a respectful attitude.
Because the husbands of these women are all industry giants.
Even these ladies were often not invited to the banquets they hosted.
Unlike now, Ivana is so young and can entertain them.
Jacqueline and the others were naturally jealous, because this was a reflection of their status in their circle - the higher the status of the guests at the party, the higher their social status.
Shilani was actually a little jealous, otherwise she wouldn't have said that just now.
But compared to those people who only know how to show off their wealth and try every possible way to attract attention at the party, they are just losers.
Hillary has great ambitions, and she plays a role in the Louisiana government that is different from that of an ordinary first lady.
So she covered it up very well, and even stood up to speak well of Ivana.
"Don't say that. Darling, she is also a girl who is blinded by love. Who hasn't been impulsive when they were young?"
Shilani said softly: “And I don’t think Evana did anything wrong. It’s so good for her now!”
There was no need for Hilary to do anything, she knew that she was now speaking well of Ivana.
And the complaints these people made about Ivana would at most reach Ivana after the cocktail party was over.
Presumably, this would more or less improve Ivana's impression of me.
Shilani thought to herself.
She had heard that the people of Boston wanted to support the Italians in their fight against her.
If it were just the Italians themselves, Hilary would not be afraid at all.
But if there are Bostonians standing behind the Italians... Hilary thought, unless she can get the old guy's full support.
Otherwise, she has no idea who will be the future New York State Senator!
So now Hillary wants to win the favor of Bostonians as much as possible.
Even though she couldn't face him directly, Shilani wanted to go through the people around him.
It would be best if the woman around him could influence his perception of herself.
With the husband's efforts, perhaps the other party can change his mind.
No longer supporting the Italians, but supporting Hillary herself.
So just now it was actually Hillary who was quietly guiding these stupid women to say these words.
The purpose is to give Hilary herself the opportunity to speak well of Ivana in such a public occasion.
Because it is said that the daughter of this upstart is not only favored, but also has a good relationship with the real Rockefeller.
This is why Hillary Clinton took so much trouble.
Not to mention the ridiculous intrigues and schemes among the women in every corner of the party.
Let's switch perspective and focus on the only two American stars invited to the event.
They are pop king Michael Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones, who is privately called "Lucky Black Old Boy" by some people in Hollywood.
Not to mention Michael Jackson.
Given his status in pop music, he would definitely receive an invitation as long as pop music artists were invited to such a banquet.
Although in most cases, the singing industry cannot even reach this threshold.
But Michael came anyway.
Although he appeared as the chief music conductor of the cocktail party, he brought a group of violinists and pianists to provide emotional value and soothing music for the guests in every corner.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
But at least MJ showed up, and was the one taking the lead.
So many people understood that Blackburn really wanted to protect this black man who had turned white.
Otherwise, he would not be allowed to appear in such an occasion.
This can be regarded as giving this black man a real protective color.
If anyone wants to touch MJ in the future, as long as they think of today's cocktail party, they will have many concerns!
And Tommy Lee Jones, the male lead in Milo's first and second movies, was able to appear at this cocktail party.
In addition to this identity, it is also because he has publicly announced in the middle of this year that he will participate in the California Elephant Party internal election in a year.
If he wins, he will represent the Elephant Party in the next California gubernatorial election!
He also said this on the now popular ITK wall: "This is an era of freedom. Our President Reagan is doing a great job. I think I can do well in California, right? Although we are both actors, we all have a heart to make America and California better!"
That's right, Tommy Lee Jones is different from the one in the parallel universe.
He embarked on the path of American politics three months ago.
Very similar to the original Schwarzenegger, no, the Schwarzenegger in this time and space is the same.
However, Schwarzenegger's confidence in entering politics comes from his wife.
Tommy Lee Jones' confidence comes from the fact that Milo has always admired him.
Even the reason why he suddenly announced his entry into politics was because Milo proposed to him when he met him at a banquet.
With such a backer behind him, Tommy Lee Jones was naturally happy to give it a try.
What if... I'm really lucky and can become the second Li Gen? Right? Which American boy hasn't had such a dream? Even the Celestial Dragon boys in the consortium probably have had such a dream, right?
So naturally, Tommy Lee Jones took another path.
So his appearance at tonight's banquet is undoubtedly a signal.
And this is just a corner of the ecological chain of this cocktail party.
There were nearly a thousand people at the cocktail party, which included representatives from almost all the truly upper-class families in the United States.
It is difficult to describe the complexity and excitement of the content in words.
There are also countless new stories and new collaborations that emerge from the interaction after or during the cocktail party.
If we have to pick one or two, we would talk about the private agreement reached between the Texas forces represented by Herbert and Warren Steed Jeffs, the leader of the Mormon Church in Utah with 15 million followers.
Utah is the mining center of the western United States. In modern times, it has become one of the development centers of metallurgy, aviation high-tech materials, etc.
But when Americans mention Utah and Salt Lake Village, they hear that someone is from this place.
Often they would ask this person mysteriously: "I heard that you can marry multiple wives over there?"
This is actually a misunderstanding.
As a branch of Protestant Christianity, Mormon fundamentalism abolished the rule of polygamy at the beginning of this century and later strictly prohibited it.
So not every Utah native, Mormon has many wives and the resulting many children.
But that's still how other Americans think of them.
Because the fact is that even now, there are still many cases of polygamy in this state.
Many American TV stations have interviewed them.
For example, Milo's own CNN news channel has reported on a small village called Bountiful Village, not far from Salt Lake City, about two hours away.
The 50-year-old Winsker Blackmore is the founder and "chief" of the village.
The village looked very prosperous. Every evening, wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys of every household.
At this time, a group of children would come out of the school. Strangely, they looked very similar, all with blonde hair and blue eyes.
The children were all wearing overalls and checkered shirts, as if they were living in the early 20th century rather than the 21st.
They were all barefoot, running towards the same big house, which looked more like a hotel than a traditional local house.
But this is indeed a private house, and the owner is Blackmore.
It turned out that this 50-year-old man was the father of the children who were laughing and playing on the hillside.
He actually had 22 wives and 103 children, as well as more than 400 grandchildren...
So some Tianlong people said sinisterly in private that Blackburn of Plymouth was not a Protestant at all.
It is said that Milo Blackburn is definitely a devout and even fanatical follower of the Mormon Doomsday sect.
Because almost every member of this sect has more than ten wives and more than fifty children...
Blackburn Rovers doesn't have that kind of exaggerated numbers yet.
But he is still young. When he is fifty, the number will probably be even greater...
Maybe this is the reason.
For Milo Blackburn, now the number one internet celebrity in the United States.
Utah, or the Mormons, who number about 15 million, have always had a good impression of him and support him in many things.
Like now, Warren Steed Jeffs after Herbert said something promising.
He said happily: "We will support it. If for no other reason, just because he is Milo Blackburn's uncle, we are willing to believe him!"
