Chapter 423 You are just taking advantage of the fire
"Teacher Mr. Zhou Ming is not good!"
With a sudden shout, a young man ran into the studio of Antilles in panic, and Zhou Ming and Antilles were both surprised.
The little girl Boya subconsciously covered her injured forehead. The person who came in was Laurent, a genius from the Fashion Design Academy. She asked curiously: "Laurant, you are so panicked, what happened?"
When Laurent saw so many people here, he was stunned for a moment, and after a while he replied: "That's right, I just got the news that Bona's Chryler Company and Louis Group, they joined forces with the Fashion Association to ban us, and at the meeting that is currently underway, they are still asking the dealers to forget our works!"
"What else is there? Do those guys completely treat themselves as kings in the fashion industry? They are so overdoing it!" The little girl said angrily. Although she guessed what they would do after buying the newspaper in the morning, she still felt extremely angry when she heard about their ban.
But Antilles noticed another message: "How did you know this news? Have you gone to the meeting?"
This question made Luo Lang a little overwhelmed, because Zhou Ming and the teacher said here that they already knew about the ban, and maybe they were angry now! When I came here to mention these things, wouldn’t I be sprinkling salt on their wounds? But he had to answer the teacher’s question.
"Actually, I didn't go to the meeting. It was one of my uncles who told me that I knew that I was with you and helped you attend this fashion show. It was he who told me." Laurent replied.
Anrez nodded: "We already know this. It seems that you are still very concerned about our works, and I am very happy."
Laurent said embarrassedly that this was what he should have done, but after that, a strange silence suddenly fell into the room, as if everyone had suddenly turned into a mute and could not speak. In fact, no one knew what to say at this time.
In the end, Zhou Ming broke the suffocating silence. He asked Laurent: "You just came back from the Louvre? You said your uncle was at the meeting. So is your uncle a dealer?"
Laurent reacted quickly, and he nodded and replied: "Yes, my uncle is a fashion dealer from Cannes."
Then Laurent looked suspicious again: "Mr. Zhou Ming, what are you asking about this?"
Zhou Ming waved his hand and told him not to ask in a hurry. Zhou Ming asked him again: "Then you learned about the meeting from your uncle. Did you ask him for it on your own initiative, or did your uncle tell you? Besides, what does your uncle think about our fashion?"
Laurent looked confused. He didn't understand why Zhou Ming asked about these things at all, but he still answered honestly: "I took the initiative to ask my uncle, but he also liked our fashions very much. After the fashion show ended yesterday, my uncle also took the initiative to ask me that he wanted to give us some orders because he had a premonition that the sales of these fashions must be very good!"
After saying that, Laurent thought about it and added: "He even went to Vice President Madland to ask about our situation today, so I realized that Bona and the others wanted all dealers to forget about our fashion."
Zhou Ming nodded to express his understanding, and then he expressed his thoughts: "If your uncle really likes our fashion and really thinks our fashion has a market, not because of your reasons. Then I hope to meet your uncle. There are some things I want to talk to him in person. Can you arrange them?"
Laurent suddenly realized with a confused look on his face: "I understand, Mr. Zhou Ming, do you want to get an order from my uncle in private, right?"
Zhou Ming shook his head: "If it were just an order from your uncle, I would definitely not have had such a big effort. What I want is orders from all dealers, or most dealers, not just your uncle."
"Is there any order from other dealers?" Laurent was surprised. "This is impossible for Mr. Zhou Ming. Although my uncle has contacted many dealers, there are only a few who have good relationships, and many others cannot even name them. And even friends with good relationships, they may not risk offending Bona and others to give us some friendly orders."
"Don't worry, what I want is not a friendly order, but a real commercial order."
When Zhou Ming saw what Luo Lang wanted to say, he said first: "Okay, don't ask for specific details. You just need to help me make an appointment with your uncle."
Although Laurent was still full of question marks on his forehead, he knew that there was no need to ask any further, so he just went out to the Louvre with confusion to find his uncle.
After Laurent left, Antilles turned to him and asked, "Are you really going to do this? How confident are you to succeed?"
Zhou Ming sighed: "Before meeting people, I was not sure at all, but not being sure does not mean that I will not do it anymore. After all, only when we start working hard can we have hope!"
Anrez frowned and looked at Zhou Ming. He didn't understand what Zhou Ming was thinking. Now Bona and Louis Group have used all the channels and resources they have to ban them completely in both media and dealers.
Judging from the normal logic, they have no chance, because this is different from the previous fashion show that they were damaging fashion backstage. Those can be said to be means and can be taken advantage of. As long as they are adaptable enough, they will have a chance to turn the tables; but now the situation is completely different. They are crushing with their hard power and paying such a great price, which is nothing more than ensuring that they no longer have opportunities.
In this case, if we only rely on the relationship between Laurent and his uncle, bypass Bona and others and privately ask for some orders, it would be fine, but if we add others, Antilles would not think of how to operate it.
...
Laurent left the studio of Antilles and quickly returned to the Carousel Hall of the Louvre and found his uncle. However, the meeting continued at this time, and it was difficult for them to leave directly. Only when the meeting was over at noon did Laurent take his uncle to the studio of Antilles.
"Teacher Mr. Zhou Ming, this is my uncle Mangala!"
Laurent brought his uncle to the studio hall. He was a slightly fat middle-aged man who was slightly fat and introduced him to Zhou Ming and Anrez.
Zhou Ming took the initiative to shake hands with Antilles and greet him. Then they sat down. Mangala asked Zhou Ming: "I like you very much about the fashion show last night! And Mr. Antilles, you are always the pride of France. I and other dealers are very sad about your failure to attend today's meeting. We all really want to cooperate with you and want to purchase your fashion that transcends the times, but..."
Mangala sighed, "But I think you all know what's going on now, so I can buy all the fashions you had at your fashion show yesterday, and I can pay more for this. What do you think?"
Mangala's words surprised Laurent: "Uncle, you didn't say that just now. You have said before that you can give them some orders in private, why are you now..."
Mangala interrupted Laurent and said, "You remembered it wrong. I never said that. What I said at the time was that I could give some orders privately, but I needed to buy the ownership of these fashions. This was the key, but you forgot it."
Laurent shook his head and insisted: "It's not like this, I remember correctly..."
Mangala interrupted Laurent's denial again: "Teacher Antilles and this Mr. Zhou Ming, I'm sorry, it seems that there is a misunderstanding between us."
Zhou Ming smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I also understand Mr. Mangala's idea. If you can make Mr. Mangala do this, it seems that you are very confident in our fashion, right?"
Mangala smiled and shook her head: "Please say forgave me. Maybe your fashion was really amazing at yesterday's fashion show, but that was just a fashion show, and after all, it was just a fashion show, and after the incident that hit the backstage, it was hard to say that the audience would not applaud with some special emotions. Just like myself, I am more supporting your spirit than the fashion itself."
Mangala continued: "It's the same now. I just support your spirit for Laurent, but my support comes with great risks, so I need to buy it together with the ownership of those fashions."
Laurent understood now, and he said angrily: "Uncle, you deceived me, you are taking advantage of the situation!"
Mangala finally put away his smile and said seriously: "Lorent, pay attention to your words!"
But Laurent did not stop: "Uncle, I have no problem with my words, it is your behavior! In the morning, you told me personally that you would support us and you could also give us orders privately. You did not say that you wanted to buy ownership. The purchase of ownership means that these fashions belong only to you, and we can no longer produce or sell them."
"Uncle, I know that our situation is very bad now, and we also need your help, but you cannot use this to threaten us. This kind of behavior is to take advantage of the situation!" Laurent said angrily.
Mangala looked frosty and pointed at Laurent, saying, "I order you to shut up, otherwise I will tell your father that you should know the consequences."
Laurent shrank his neck and did not dare to speak anymore. Obviously, Mangala grabbed his weakness. Mangala then turned to Zhou Ming and asked: "Mr. Zhou Ming, Teacher Antilles, I wonder what you think?"
"I think you've misunderstood something, Mr. Mangala," Zhou Ming said with a confused look on his face, "I asked Laurent to arrange for us to meet, not to discuss the order."
