National Tide 1980.

Chapter 392 Talented
Sure enough, although Qu Xiao was scared to death by his parents' eyes, it was just a false alarm.

The resentment displayed by her parents did not last long.

After venting for a short while, he calmed down quickly under self-control.

As for the reason why they are so tolerant, it is very different from last night's performance, and there are no more than two reasons.

First, because Ning Weimin performed very well from the moment he entered the door, and he has successfully won the favor of Qu Xiao's parents.

Especially after voluntarily admitting his mistake, Ning Weimin did not defend himself.

He just repeatedly emphasized that he can understand Qu Xiao's parents' feelings, and deeply regrets his original behavior.

So Qu Xiao's parents couldn't bear to see his sincerity and heartbreak.

Even they themselves felt that it would be out of style if they continued to be so persistent.

Second, as adults, Qu Xiao's parents knew very well that it was too late to say anything.

There is no point in complaining now, the most important thing is to solve practical problems.

But how to solve it?
They have absolutely no clue at the moment.

The only thing that is certain is that since Ning Weimin is a senior employee of Peel Carton, he is here to negotiate this matter on behalf of the company.

They will inevitably have to continue dealing with him and need his advice and cooperation.

So from a pragmatic point of view, it's not good to force people too much and make the relationship stiff.

All in all, I have to admit that Ning Weimin planned well, and these few steps were well prepared.

Only then can Qu Xiao's parents remain rational, and show the greatest degree of restraint and patience to solve the problem.

But so far, Ning Weimin still couldn't get straight to the point.

Because he still missed a very important step to gain the true trust of Qu Xiao's parents and create the most favorable situation for finally persuading them.

The next thing he has to do is to use easy-to-understand descriptions to spread the knowledge about the clothing model industry to Qu Xiao's parents as concisely as possible.

Introduce the history of the establishment of Peel Carton Company and the business carried out in the Republic.

And talk about the various situations of Qu Xiao's training and performance in detail.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they might think that this matter is irrelevant, and Ning Weimin is purely superfluous, taking off his pants and farting.

But this kind of thinking is actually a big mistake.

Because these people must have never realized that in any negotiation, the greatest sense of distrust arises precisely from the unequal amount of information.

If the information gap between the two parties is too large, the disadvantaged party must be worried because he is in a disadvantaged state.

Trying to reach a consensus without finding a way to eliminate this state is tantamount to nonsense.

The information disadvantaged party will definitely worry that the superior party will take advantage of their ignorance, so they will be full of worries and hesitate to move forward.

Then how can we talk about it?

This is the experience from Ning Weimin's previous life.

When he was a postal merchant in his previous life, once the postal currency card market was hot, many ordinary people would often come to ask about the market, wanting to follow suit.

But these ordinary people don't have much professional knowledge, almost all are examples of greed and cowardice.

After a long time, Ning Weimin gradually mastered the way to deal with these people, that is to pretend to be a good person and a good heart.

Take the initiative to reveal a small industry insider to such customers, remind them what they should pay attention to in transactions, and how to avoid pitfalls and losses.

This hand works great.

Since he could not have said anything, these people will naturally have a sense of trust because of his "sincerity".

When it was time to finally pay, who else could I turn to if I didn't look for him?

To put it bluntly, while destroying other people's traps, he lures the prey into his traps and makes them feel grateful.

In the same way, it is also appropriate to adopt this routine for Qu Xiao's parents.

If Ning Weimin told them a lot of relevant information, he would take the initiative to narrow the information gap between the two sides.

It is still possible to successfully win the trust of others through this move and achieve the same goal.

So no matter what Qu Xiao's parents know or don't know, no matter what they want to know or don't want to know.

Ning Weimin knew everything and said everything.

Even more than talking, he also provides verifiable methods and evidence.

For example, he brought some foreign pictorials from the Zhai Palace.

Show Qu Xiao's parents the demeanor of foreign models and the attire of foreign high society.

At the same time, he also told them about the four major international fashion weeks and the high income of the world's top supermodels.

And the trend of the model industry becoming younger and younger, and the competition with this industry abroad is fierce.

Ning Weimin also brought some domestic official media newspapers and reference news issued nationwide.

Pointing to the relevant news above, let Qu Xiao's parents understand how much the country attaches importance to Peel Carton's investment in China.

Let them see how the relevant fashion model was positively affirmed and evaluated by the official media, and what a sensational effect it caused among the people.

And by the way, explain many prejudices and misunderstandings in society.

Ning Weimin even brought a group photo of Qu Xiao and the nationally famous female leader of the Ministry of Textiles.

Let Qu Xiao's parents know how amazing their daughter is in international trade.

And how much he is loved and valued by a big leader whose name is often on "News Network".

Ning Weimin also brought a group photo of the original model team members, backstage photos, and photos of the celebration banquet.

Point out to Qu Xiao's parents one by one, which one is an athlete, which one has worked as an actor, and which one is a college student.

None of them used to have low self-esteem because they were too tall.

Who used to be unable to find a partner because of poor family circumstances and poor work.

But now their lives are completely different. Everyone has become confident and beautiful, and they all have very good boyfriends.

Who else had to quit the modeling industry because of being too old and of average height, and was replaced by a newcomer.

Then he moved on to another side of the glamorous life of the models.

For example, before stepping on the stage, how rigorous training must be endured, and what price should be paid.

Another example is that in order to keep in shape, you have to stay away from sweets, avoid greasy food, and strictly control your diet.

And after almost every performance, the model's feet will be injured...

In this way, everything is detailed, and the whole thing is revealed.

So amidst the eye-opening information, Ning Weimin subtly achieved his goal under the unnoticed routine.

By this time, in fact, there is no need for him to justify or beautify anything deliberately.

The facts presented alone are enough to arouse the touch and thinking of Qu Xiao's parents, and let them start to weigh the pros and cons.

At least they have learned a few important points.

This industry is conducive to national construction, this industry is glamorous, and the development prospect of this industry is great.

And this industry also requires talent and hard work, which is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

It's not that whoever wants to do it can do it, and not everyone can do it well.

The most important thing is that this line of work is by no means to entertain people's lowliness and depravity, but to make people become more and more beautiful, inspiring and leading.

Although most people don't understand it now, they don't understand it.

But being a fashion model is definitely an upright act, which is beneficial to the country and not harmful to society.

As for the problem of excessive exposure of clothing, it is just a rare accidental phenomenon, which is a special situation caused by different national conditions.

In fact, domestic fashion models do not need a large scale of body exposure, and they are definitely not mannequins like Pan Yuliang.

Being photographed by reporters in this way is also due to lax control and lack of timely communication.

And these problems can be further coordinated and improved...

In this way, when the information was fully displayed, Ning Weimin launched the final language charge completely as a matter of course.

"Uncle, Auntie, let me make a digression. I would like to ask, do you think Chen Jingrun and Nie Weiping are great people? Can they be called the idols of the people in the new era of our Republic?"

"Of course, his contribution and achievements are obvious to all. Chen Jingrun's Goldbach's conjecture caused a sensation in the mathematics world. Nie Weiping, as the main player who defeated the Japanese team this year, was awarded the highest rank in Go - [-]-dan, which is also a famous talisman Actually. They're all amazing."

"Is there any doubt about this? The newspapers have publicized their deeds long ago. Haven't all units and schools organized studies?"

Qu Xiao's parents answered without thinking.

Ning Weimin asked again, "Okay, then I would like to ask again, if possible. Do you want your daughter to become such a great person? Or do you want her to be the receptionist at the Chongwenmen Hotel forever and live a mediocre life?"

Suddenly, the topic turned to Qu Xiao.

Qu Xiao's parents, including Qu Xiao himself, couldn't help being taken aback.

"How can this be compared? What kind of contribution did Chen Jingrun and Nie Weiping make to the country?"

"This question is a bit far-fetched. It's not comparable at all. Will Chen Jingrun and Nie Weiping be questioned for inappropriate behavior?"

Soon, Qu Xiao's parents began to speak in unison, expressing doubts and opposition.

But this time, Ning Weimin didn't follow them, and even argued with them for the first time.

"Why can't it be compared? In terms of contribution, Qu Xiao is not inferior. Just like Chen Jingrun was born for mathematics, Nie Weiping was born for Go, in my opinion, Qu Xiao was born for fashion .”

"Please don't underestimate yourselves. Why does the female leader of the Textile Department choose Qu Xiao to perform on stage every time? Isn't it because the Textile Department found that as long as your daughter's clothing has been displayed, it will be sold in the international market. The order quantity will soar like a tide.”

"Please take a good look at her. The image of your daughter is so outstanding. No kidding, she has become a practical need of the country as a fashion model. Her performance on stage not only brings In addition to foreign exchange, it opened a window for the western world to understand the Republic. It is her style that makes Europe re-recognize the charm of oriental silk."

Ning Weimin's compliment really caught people off guard.

In particular, he cleverly compared Qu Xiao with Chen Jingrun and Nie Weiping.

This kind of technique that can generate "psychological resonance" made Qu Xiao's parents agree with it or oppose it, and felt very conflicted for a while.

Qu Xiao's face was flushed red by the praise, and she couldn't help lowering her head in embarrassment.

But on the contrary, this gave Ning Weimin an excuse to make use of the problem, he deliberately pointed out.

"Xiao Qu, you must not bow your head. You need to be calm and get used to it, because in the rest of your life, even if you don't work as a fashion model, there will still be many people who will be attracted by your appearance and stare at you intently. For you. You should become stronger, use the confidence you learned on the runway, and live without fear of these things.”

After he finished speaking, he changed the subject and tried his best to encourage Qu Xiao's parents again.

"The talent of Qu Xiao's appearance is bestowed by you. She has completely inherited the excellent genes of her parents. And no matter what you think of fashion models now, can you forgive me? But at least I have to admit that I introduced Qu Xiao into This is the same, in terms of vision, it is absolutely correct, right?"

"As for doubts and controversies, in fact, to some extent, it is really inevitable. Because people with outstanding ability will always be criticized by others and bear the pressure for their own excellence. Even Chen Jingrun and Nie Weiping are the same."

"If you have read the documentary report "Goldbach's Conjecture", you will know that Chen Jingrun is obsessed with majors, and his living ability is quite poor. If he has not achieved professional achievements, what is he in the eyes of others? Look? Doesn't he let people talk behind their backs?"

"Nie Weiping is even more like this. You may not be aware that this nine-dan master has been obsessed with playing chess since he was a child, and he even skipped class to play chess. He has been reprimanded by his parents and teachers since he was a child. Everyone thinks that he is neglecting his studies and not doing his job properly. But what about now?"

"The fact is that there is no perfect person in the world. But there are talented people, and geniuses do exist. I really think that Qu Xiao is a top talent in the modeling industry. Her hard work and achievements have already demonstrated everything. . She really shouldn't waste a talent that so many covet."

"But on the other hand, if Qu Xiao doesn't become a model, won't she attract rumors? I don't think so. Everyone desires a beautiful appearance, but sometimes it is a sin to be too beautiful. Compared with being restrained because of this, I I think it’s better to face it bravely and positively.”

Qu Xiao's parents couldn't help looking at each other.

Before he could speak, Ning Weimin could already sense the softening of their hearts just from their expressions and eyes.

"That's what you say, but after all, fashion models are easy to talk about. Even if we, as parents, can understand our daughter, what will others think of it? People live in society, and we always have to worry about other people's opinions. What should we do if a situation similar to this one occurs? We can't explain to our relatives and friends?"

"That's right, let's talk about it. Even if Qu Xiao is good at it, so what? Didn't you say that fashion models only need young girls? How long can she do it? How do I see it, this is not a long time It’s nothing. It’s not a career. After all, the Chongwenmen Hotel is the country’s iron rice bowl, and that’s how she will be in charge for the rest of her life.”

To be honest, Ning Weimin was secretly relieved at this time.

Because when it comes to this point, there is no big obstacle in terms of emotion and concept.

The final concerns of Qu Xiao's parents are all small practical issues, as long as they can make sense of these points, it will be a perfect ending.

"Uncle, Auntie, I understand your concerns very well. But I have to say that although your worries are necessary, they are indeed a little too much."

"Because people's ideas will change. As far as I know, the first batch of female shop assistants appeared in Wangfujing in the 16th year of the Republic of my country. After liberation, in order to fight for the right to work and oppose discrimination, the majority of women comrades also specially organized Also, since last year, women have changed the old tradition and changed the opening of the trousers from the right side to the front.”

"At that time, none of these things were criticized and risked the world's disgrace. But now, do people still criticize these things? Even wearing bell-bottom pants, perming your hair, putting on lipstick, and wearing high heels, isn't it? Is it becoming more common?"

"I dare not say that the pressure you need to bear now will be easy. But I am sure that you will feel more and more relaxed. The rational way of dealing with it now, of course, try to keep it secret. And if someone criticizes, I mean, You can take the group photo of Qu Xiao and the leader to your work unit and show it to your colleagues."

"Or when Quxiao has a performance, I'll get some tickets and invite you and your relatives and friends to go and see it separately. I believe that anyone who has seen Quxiao performance has personally experienced the foreign guests, leaders, People with a media attitude will definitely have a new understanding of Qu Xiao's career and be proud of her performance."

"As for the career of modeling, I can't say how far Qu Xiao can go. It depends not only on personal conditions and continuous hard work, but also on luck. But I can at least guarantee one thing, our company has plans to hold modeling competitions in China Qu Xiao will also have the opportunity to perform abroad. Even go abroad to participate in competitions and win glory for the country."

"Another point, you might as well think about it from another angle. Models don't have long-term guarantees, but they are high-income groups abroad. The prospects for the clothing industry are also quite broad. If one day Qu Xiao quits the modeling team, she will also be a Experienced teachers can use everything they have learned to train new models for the apparel industry."

"Even the actual domestic income is not bad. Qu Xiaoguang always has three to four thousand yuan in foreign exchange certificates after a year of performances. The annual income of ordinary people is only six or seven hundred, and what Qu Xiao earns in a year is what other people earn in six or seven years." .Does she really need to rely on dead wages?"

"Of course, the work at the unit can be maintained. If the time can be adjusted, she can still work part-time as she does now. If the time is not coordinated, she can ask for leave or stay without pay. It is also a proper guarantee, so that there will be no way out, and you will not suffer in the end. What do you think?"

In this way, Qu Xiao's parents were completely unable to express any objection.

As far as Ning Weimin's words were concerned, it seemed that if they did not agree to his suggestion, they would be obsolete and lack foresight.

It is simply to ruin Qu Xiao, it is irresponsible for her daughter's life.

In fact, what is talent?
This kid's mouth is extremely talented.

It is definitely a perfect fossil that can still maintain the whole picture of bones and teeth when it is dug out thousands of years later.
