Chapter 186

Lin Wei has not returned to Xiangjiang yet, so she is not very clear about these comments.

She and Ji Chengjun were busy interviewing and visiting famous designers in France every day.

Lin Wei picked up the cup and looked at the coffee in front of her thoughtfully. The more she thought about it, the more wrong she became. Then she looked up at the blond girl opposite and asked, "Have we met before?"

The girl standing opposite saw her. Lin Wei recognized herself, her eyes lit up for a moment, and then she showed a slightly shy smile: "In the United States, in Cartier's store."

Lin Wei said "Ah" and remembered.

She had received a customer there on a whim.

"That's a coincidence." Lin Wei sighed.

Ji Chengjun took a look and said, "Do you know each other?"

This scene really seemed familiar. How many people had this woman "provoked" outside?

"Are you Mr. Gerald's assistant?" Lin Wei asked.

The girl nodded lightly, and then said, "Sir, he is painting, so you may have to wait a little longer."

"How long will it take?" Ji Chengjun glanced at his watch. Lin Wei was pressed for time.

The girl was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

Ji Chengjun was stunned when he saw this. What do you mean? Isn't it 10 o'clock as promised?

Do you want them to wait? These so-called masters are full of bad habits.

They were still anxious to catch the next show.

Ji Chengjun subconsciously looked at Lin Wei and found that she was already chatting with this girl.

"What's your name?"

"Just call me Nona."

Well, if the boss is not in a hurry, then she has nothing to be anxious about.

Until now, Cartier has not had a designer who can play a major role. On the one hand, it relies on Lin Wei’s daily support, and on the other hand, it is co-signed by masters. Today, it is to seek cooperation with Gerald.

Gerald is an eccentric, talented and well-known designer. He can design jewelry, watches, and fashion. However, he did not create his own brand. Instead, he immersed himself in painting and occasionally collaborated with other brands to create A joint name or something, the effect is very good.

Ji Chengjun observed the environment of the living room. Every artist living in a place has a strong personal style. This gentleman is particularly outstanding. He has sculptures that are not luxurious but heavy and classical, with a sense of mystery, and retro ornaments similar to antiques. It is really I don’t know if it’s fake.

She had nothing to do here, and the other two were chatting enthusiastically at the moment.

"What kind of designer is considered excellent? Mr. Gerald said that I am not... qualified."

Nona didn't say anything. Gerald said that in her life, she could only work as a helper for others, and could not be on the stage. She was not qualified to be a designer . designer.

“Designers first look at personal talent, and secondly look at storytelling ability.”

“Storytelling?”

“It’s marketing ability. If you want to make your brand more influential, you must know how to build momentum, otherwise no matter how moving you design the things, If no one comes to see it, it becomes self-admiration. Talent and marketing should complement each other. The threshold of the clothing industry is not high, and a large number of talents are pouring in. Those who can stand at the top of the pyramid can grasp the consumer psychology and make people willing to work for themselves. A master who pays for his products, the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. This kind of thing depends entirely on luck and miracles. Many outstanding painters became famous after their death because someone finally spread their stories, but some "People are not very lucky."

Nona naturally thought of Mr. Gerrard. Every time he talked about his creative inspiration in an interview, everyone was fascinated.

But...

"What if you only have talent but can't tell stories?"

"Then find a partner who understands marketing to help you operate. You just need to concentrate on your own design and let others help you tell stories, just like ours. Hu Zi's chief designer..."

"Nonna..."

Before Lin Wei could finish speaking, Mr. Gerald came down from upstairs.

Lin Wei and Ji Chengjun stood up.

This cooperation negotiation went very smoothly, and the time did not exceed expectations by too much. They were able to rush to the next "date" smoothly.

When they were leaving, Nona came out to see them off.

After walking around the corner and out of sight of the villa, Lin Wei took out a business card and gave it to Nona: "If you plan to be a designer, you can come to us and try it."

Nona was surprised, even Ji Chengjun beside her They were all stunned.

This corner was dug too hastily.

"You haven't seen my work yet." Nona held the business card, a little panicked.

"You are so bad at talking, and the fact that Gerard is still willing to hire you speaks volumes. The rest depends on our fate."

When he went back, Ji Chengjun asked Lin Wei: "You are so sure of her level, aren't you?" Are you betting? "Lin Wei has this ability, can he really tell the opponent's ability level at a glance? The analysis just now was too unreliable. What if someone just thinks the little girl is honest and wants to find an obedient girl?

Lin Wei took off the earrings and rings and put them back into the bag: "The main thing is that if you lose the bet, you won't lose anything."

Hezi now has so many designers, one more is not too much, one less is not too much, designers and designers It’s different, but if you can really meet a genius with outstanding talent, you have picked it up.

The reason why geniuses are geniuses shows that they are rare. How many can you catch if you just rely on luck?

Naturally, you have to cast a wide net to have more opportunities.

Cartier and Balenciaga must not be buried in her hands.

If you don't rush for quick success, how can you pull it off?

Lin Wei started to change into new earrings: "You can only survive on your laurels. If you want to reach the top, you have to rely on the designer to pull it from the front. Whether you can find the treasure depends on your and my 'eyes'."

Ji Chengjun looked at Lin Wei as she changed her earrings. Putting on baroque-style earrings, and thinking about the designer she was going to meet next, she had a new understanding of Lin Wei's "hard work". Lin Wei is a person who can really let go of her figure for the sake of talents. Every Spring Festival, if she cannot return to China, Lin Wei will call her despite the time difference and ask her not to work too hard. This care makes her happy every time. There is an urge to do everything for the other person.

I just don’t understand how such a “standard” businessman like her could be entangled in the issue of nationality.

The media in Hong Kong also had the same doubts.

Things can't be done at once. The designer has to keep looking, but Lin Wei can't stay in France forever. When she went back, she was stuck at the airport.

Asked anything.

Wu Ming had repeatedly warned her on the phone not to talk nonsense.

Lin Wei felt that he was worried unnecessarily. She could usually bear it. The nature of the last time was different. She devalued her own culture to elevate others. She had a very low tolerance for such humiliating "traitors", especially It was a very bad thing that the other party carried.

However, she was still very angry when the reporters kept yelling at her, irritating her with words, and asking her if she was stupid.

Lin Wei couldn't help complaining when she got in the car: "Why are you so stupid? You didn't even look at the conditions they offered? Just because I broke the Medal of Honor, they asked me to change my nationality. How funny is that? I would be stupid if I agreed."

Wu Ming opened a bottle of water and handed it to her: "Could it be that if the conditions are right, you will agree?"

She took it, took a sip, exhaled, and then said: "That's about right. As long as the price is high, maybe I will compromise." ."

Wu Ming was a little surprised. He thought it was a matter of Lin Wei's principles. After all, it was obvious that she was very proud of her Chinese identity, otherwise she wouldn't have choked with reporters last time.

"Then what price will you compromise on?"

Lin Wei raised her head slightly, looked up, thought for a while and said: "I really can't think of anything at the moment that can make me not afraid of Lao Fang's clothes drying rack. Yes, it seems like there really isn't."

Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, then he understood what she meant and couldn't help but laugh: "Your dad still beats you?"

Lin Wei shook his head: "If you don't usually hit you, you will definitely get beaten for this kind of thing. "If I don't fight, it will be even worse. He is going to sever the father-daughter relationship with me."

When talking about this topic, Lin Wei couldn't help but feel a little depressed. She looked out the car window, and the scenery of Hong Kong City was more impressive. It has a real feel, row upon row of shops, and the familiar smell of fireworks everywhere.

It seemed that she was used to crowds of people, but the empty roads in Europe made her feel uncomfortable.

She automatically changed the topic: "How is Hong Kong City lately? Has anything happened?"

"It's not a big deal," Wu Ming paused and asked, "The stock price has tripled, what are you going to do? When are you going to sell it? " What

he is most worried about is this matter. Now the stock price changes every day, not to mention the employees' sentiments. Even he is frightened when listening to the radio every day.

Lin Wei thought for a while and said, "Let's sell it out slowly at the end of the year."

"You mean the stock market will continue to rise like this until the end of the year?" Wu Ming looked at her in surprise.

He thought that Lin Wei would say that he would make plans based on the situation as before, but he didn't expect that this time she would give an exact time.

It's not even April yet, there are still 8 months left. If this stock continues to rise, what will it look like?

Lin Wei also wanted him to relax, otherwise Wu Ming would ask him every now and then.

The market will reach its peak in March next year, and then plummet all the way.

Slowly throwing it out at the end of the year is considered a safe zone, and Lin Wei is also afraid of any accidents.

Meeting Wu Ming's probing gaze, Lin Wei smiled: "That's the plan for the time being. The specifics will depend on the situation. You can leave it alone for now. It'll be fine. Didn't I analyze it for you before?"

Now The market needs to be monitored every day. There are no computers and mobile phones. Exchanges are written by hand. News on the radio is delayed. Reading the market requires a lot of energy. This is why many people give up their jobs for stock trading.

Their car stopped at City Hall.

Song Ye opened the car door and sat in.

"There's room in front, why squeeze in the back?" Wu Ming was squeezed into the middle, a little dissatisfied.

"You can change," Song Ye said calmly, "I'll sit in the middle."

"What a nice idea!" Wu Ming refused directly.

I thought he didn't know what this guy had in mind.

The car drove towards the villa in Happy Valley. Song Ye didn't move back, but he would come back every Friday for dinner and chat with them about the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Lin Wei was very worried that Song Ye was too aggressive and would not be able to handle Chu Aidong's life-threatening tactics one more time.

So she brought Wu Ming in to come up with ideas together.

The ideal way to fight a tiger is to arrest people after the evidence is conclusive and catch everyone in one go.

But the actual situation is very complicated, and it is impossible to find all the criminal evidence at once. There is often one line connected to another, one bites one, but if one is caught, the other may run away after hearing the news.

Coupled with the bail system, it is really like a leaky sieve with holes everywhere.

So we have to look for those big tigers at the very beginning. A few Chinese detectives are the first to bear the brunt. They have many escape routes and are powerful. If you catch them, you can control most of the dark forces in Hong Kong City.

The gangs have been dealt with for the most part, now let’s deal with the police, and then the corrupt officials.

Step by step, although these three pieces are connected, they can be separated if handled well.

When dealing with the Chinese detectives and gangs, we must adopt a posture of not implicating other police officers. We must only retain evidence. When the police are investigated, we will not involve officials from other departments. But in the end, we must use reduced sentences to allow them to expose the officials' crimes. Everyone is Those who have a sense of luck do not run away immediately when disaster strikes. After all, they have been in their hometown for decades.

Every Friday, the three of them would be in the study, secretly making various plans and researching strategies to ensure nothing went wrong.

When it comes to dealing with these bad things, Lin Wei and Wu Ming are both in high spirits. They often can't control their excitement, especially when Wu Ming's table is banged so loudly that he wants to arrest them himself.

But...

"You need to find a British guy to help you stand up from the front. Just be the military advisor. The pressure from above will be the pressure, and the people from below will be responsible for arresting people. You must not show your face in front of the public. Your identity as a businessman is Your protective umbrella." Lin Wei was still worried about his safety.

Wu Ming also said: "At least you have to wait until a few Chinese detectives are dealt with before you can show your face a little bit, and you can't take no credit at all. However, how much evidence do you have now, can you bring these Chinese detectives to justice?" Do you want to hold it down for a long time?"

After Lan Xiong's death, the remaining three Chinese detectives divided up his territory. These three people took advantage of both sides and tortured the citizens of Hong Kong City to death.

"Evidence?" Song Ye's unfathomable eyes blinked slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was soft, "As much as you want."

Lin Wei and Wu Ming were both stunned.

Is it that exaggerated?

Soon they realized that this security company was probably letting Song Ye play tricks.

This was still the result of Lin Wei's constraints, otherwise the security company would have "debuted" on the spot.

Thinking of the way Song Ye raised the knife and dropped it, the hairs on Lin Wei's arms stood up unconsciously. If he didn't stop him, what might he have become in the end.

They always discuss it very late because tomorrow is the weekend, so it doesn't matter if they stay up until midnight.

Wu Ming glanced at the sky outside: "It's so late..."

"It's so late, I'll ask Lao Wang to see you off." Before Wu Ming could finish speaking, Lin Wei took over.

She wouldn't let Song Ye stay overnight.

No matter how late it was, she would let Song Ye go back.

Wu Ming felt that Lin Wei was really ruthless, and he couldn't even say anything to drive people away at this time.

Song Ye's room has never been occupied, so staying for one night is nothing.

You’ve already saved the meal, are you afraid of staying another night?

The night wind is intoxicating, causing the branches and leaves to sway gently. In the quiet and flat night, the quiet moonlight casts a dense brilliance.

Lin Wei was hugged by the young man's chest, and the light and refreshing scent of perfume lingered in her nose. She said angrily: "I have never seen you so arrogant. What are you doing so late at night? Are you not far away?"

Song Ye held a tight hand. He held it tightly around her waist, and gently entangled Lin Wei's long hair with his other hand: "It's you who didn't let me stay."

"I mean..."

Lin Wei said that it's okay to stay overnight, but there can't be any overstep. Song Ye automatically understood that he could override it without staying overnight, and would rather take a 40-minute car ride to leave in the middle of the night to "overcome" it.

Lin Wei resignedly leaned against the other person's chest, closed her eyes, and felt the heat from the other person's body.

It is also very tiring to fight against reason every time.

Someone once told her that to fall in love, you must be in love. What's the point of falling in love without being in love?

But this is not in line with Lin Wei's view of emotions. Isn't this just a love brain?

As a result, she was in this situation now. She was so drunk that she felt dizzy. Her nose was filled with the smell of refreshing perfume, mixed with the smell of men, and she felt a slight palpitation in her heart. She really felt like she was drunk and confused.

The key is that Song Ye doesn't meet her expectations for her partner. What she wants is a gentleman as gentle as jade. Whether it's Shi Jingchen in the previous life or Song Ye who has been pretending, they are all of this type.

But now, I don’t know which string in my mind is wrong.

"Song Ye...what do you like about me?" Lin Wei suddenly asked.

The closely connected bodies slowly parted, and a light breeze of night breeze passed through their chests.

Under the moonlight, the young man's eyes were like a pool of water, clear and pure, with no trace of impurities visible. Lin Wei felt like she was going to drown in such eyes.

She watched the other person's graceful lips move, and suddenly regretted it, and changed her words: "It's time for you to go."

The strength on her arm suddenly tightened, and Lin Wei saw the young man pressing down involuntarily and pressing his lips against hers.

Song Ye's movements were very gentle, and he was not in a hurry to conquer the city, but to gently feel the temperature on Lin Wei's lips.

This kind of close contact is very addictive. You can enjoy it again and again.

...

Lin Wei would see news of a company going public in the newspaper every few days. In more than half a year, more than 40 companies had gone public. The stocks of each company were like a parabola, but she didn't know where to go. top.

Not many people seriously analyze the company's operating conditions, and they follow up on stocks that rise well.

Especially recently, when the government announced the construction of a subway, the stocks of real estate companies nearly doubled in two trading days.

When it was time to get off work, Lin Wei pushed open the office door and saw more than half of the empty seats, as well as figures rushing downstairs in a hurry.

I don’t know who played the broadcast in the office -

"HSBC Bank announced a dividend of 3.5 yuan per share to shareholders, 1 share for 5 shares, and the original 1 share will be split into 10 fine shares..."

Lin Wei Sighing lightly, this is raising a gu.

The stock market was already extremely hot, but now it is split into smaller shares, and the original 10-dollar par value of the stock becomes 10-dollar shares, and the stock circulation rate will become even higher.

Everyone will rush to imitate.
