Lu Jiaxin extended her hand and introduced herself.
Miao Na began to look at Lu Jiaxin as soon as she entered the room. Seeing that she took the initiative to greet him, she smiled and extended her hand: "Miao Na, I'm 27 years old this year, I've been a mercenary for six years, I know all kinds of weapons, and I'm good at attacking."
In her previous life, Lu Jiaxin's knowledge of mercenaries all came from TV and movies, and she had never come into contact with them personally.
Lu Jiaxin asked Gu Wenfeng, Zong Jinghua and the other two to introduce themselves. The contract she signed with Miao Na was for two years, and they would be together day and night for these two years.
In fact, she wanted to sign for a few more years, but Miao Na herself was not happy about it. She said that she was used to freedom and didn't want to be bound to one place all the time. Moreover, being in a comfortable environment for a long time would make her lose her vigilance.
Miao Na came, and Qian Xiaoxiao explained to her Lu Jiaxin's schedule and living habits. After following her for two days and seeing that she had adapted well, she went home to visit her family.
On Saturday morning, not long after Lu Jiaxin finished breakfast, the person she had an appointment with arrived. The person was Xu Yue, who Lu Jiaxin found through a headhunting company.
Xu Yue was also well-known in the fashion industry in Hong Kong. After she left her last company, many people offered her a job. However, each of these companies had its own advantages and disadvantages. When she was considering, the headhunting company recommended Lu Jiaxin to her.
When she heard that Lu Jiaxin was preparing to open a store and wanted to hire her as the store owner, she thought it was a joke until the headhunting company that approached her said that Lu Jiaxin was the mysterious Green and opening a store was just the first step.
Xu Yue, who is in the fashion industry of Hong Kong, how could she not know Green? But Green is too mysterious. After setting off a wave of craze, he disappeared again. She has seen all the clothes in that fashion show. It would be a lie to say that all the clothes are shocking, but it is really a unique talent for one person to design so many new styles for the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. But after that press conference, Green disappeared. Some people said that he had run out of ideas; some people said that the styles in that press conference were all stolen by Green from other designers to gain fame. But no matter how he was slandered, he did not come out to refute the rumors.
After knowing that Lu Jiaxin was Green, Xu Yue agreed to meet her. First, to satisfy her curiosity, and second, to hear Lu Jiaxin's plan. If it was just to open a retail store, she would definitely not do this job.
Xu Yue asked: "Ms. Lu, why haven't you released any works since the fashion show two years ago?"
This question is a bit sharp, but it’s good to get straight to the point.
Lu Jiaxin said: "After working with Chery's boss Su Heyuan for a while, we found that our ideas were different. He only wanted to maximize profits, but I wanted to build my own brand."
Xu Yue said: "Most of Chery's current clothes are modified based on popular Western styles and then sold."
If you say it is plagiarism, the styles of his clothes have been changed and are very different from the original styles; but if you say it is not plagiarism, anyone with eyes can see that there is a problem at a glance.
Lu Jiaxin didn't respond, but changed the subject and talked about the store she was going to open.
Xu Yue asked in confusion: "Ms. Lu, wouldn't it be better for you to create your own brand directly?"
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "This is a business secret. I can only tell you if you join my team, Miss Xu. Miss Xu, I hope that the clothes I design in the future can be seen in various countries."
Xu Yue was able to grasp the key points: "Ms. Lu, do you position your brand as high-end clothing? Excuse me, but so far only one clothing brand in Hong Kong has been sold."
Lu Jiaxin said confidently: "My brand will become the second one."
Seeing her confident look, Xu Yue fell into deep thought. Lu Jiaxin was not only young and capable, but also quite financially capable, so maybe he could take a gamble.
Lu Jiaxin also stood up and shook hands with her: "Happy cooperation."
Although the labor contract has not been signed yet, since Xu Yue agreed to join, Lu Jiaxin also believed her. At the moment, she briefly explained her plan.
Lu Jiaxin said, "Open a store first and sell some mid- to high-end European fashion brands. I have selected more than a dozen brands, and you need to get the agency rights. As for your own brand, it will come later."
Xu Yue understood that she should first make the store famous and then launch her own brand. She asked the same question again: "Ms. Lu, why don't you just create a brand?"
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "It's very simple. Creating your own brand requires a lot of time and energy. I'm studying now and don't have that much time and energy. I don't feel comfortable leaving it all to others."
Xu Yue understood that she would only start her own brand after college, and now she should first develop stores to accumulate funds. She asked, "Ms. Lu, do you think opening a store like this can make money?"
Lu Jiaxin went back to her room, got a booklet and handed it to her.
After Xu Yue finished looking through the pictures on the first page, she immediately said, "The pants are Levis 501, the shoes are Dr Martens, what brand is this T-shirt from?"
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "I designed this T-shirt myself. I saw the pants and shoes in Europe. They are also the two brands I chose. I need you to get their agency rights."
Xu Yue is still very discerning: "This combination is very fashionable and suitable for young people. But it is not famous, and young people will not buy it."
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "First, get the agency rights, then ask a celebrity to endorse it, then put it in magazines and on TV, and do a large-scale promotion to make it well-known."
There is an old saying in the mainland that good wine needs no bush, but this is not suitable in Hong Kong. If the good wine is not widely advertised, not many people will drink it.
Xu Yue is in this line of work, and said, "Ms. Lu, if you do publicity like this, the publicity fee will be very high."
"Don't worry about that. I will prepare enough publicity fees." Lu Jiaxin said. The wool comes from the sheep, and the publicity fees will also be paid to the clothes.
Xu Yue felt relieved after hearing this. She continued to flip through the pages, and after reading, she immediately said that she could fly abroad at any time and would obtain the agency rights of these brands as soon as possible.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already collected information about these brands, you can take it back and read it later."
Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. You must understand the other party's products before negotiating with them, so that they will think you are sincere. Then they will discuss the agency fee and agency period with you.
After Xu Yue signed the contract, she went back with a thick stack of information. Seeing her impatient look, Lu Jiaxin knew that she was a workaholic again. But it can be seen that she really loves this line of work, which is good. Only when passion becomes work can it last long.
