"Wang Lin, what's wrong with you? I'm not dead! I'm living a good life! However, in a few decades, I will definitely die!" Sister Lin laughed, "If you don't want me to die, You will become Monkey King, go to the underworld and tick off my name on the book of life and death."

She was hugged tightly by Wang Lin, and the two were close to each other, and they could smell each other's body.

Sister Lin has a special fragrance on her body, which is as charming as orchids.

Wang Lin suddenly had an idea.

Sister Lin felt it, and suddenly felt her face was hot, she let go of Wang Lin, and said in a low voice: "You can't live without a woman for a day, can you?"

Wang Lin smiled awkwardly: "No, I am paying tribute to you."

"Bah! Bad guys!" Sister Lin smiled sweetly, turned around and looked at the night view of the city outside, "Paris is so beautiful at night."

"Give you a choice, stay in Paris, or beijing?"

"I choose Shencheng! Is that okay?" Sister Lin giggled, "Shen Xue has three villas, and I live in one, isn't it too much?"

"Okay! I've already let you live in one building."

"I used to like Beijin, but now I prefer to stay in Shanghai."

"why?"

"Because Shencheng has my friends, and - you."

The evening wind blew her hair, fluttering messily in the air.

These words made Wang Lin feel her affection.

He walked to her side, and both of them lay on the railing, looking at the lights of Wanjia outside.

In Paris in September, the weather is neither too hot nor too cold. The temperature during the day is about 21 degrees, and it is cooler at night, the temperature is [-] degrees lower.

Sister Lin was wearing a skirt and was blown by the wind. She couldn't help but feel a little cold, and subconsciously hugged her chest with her hands.

Wang Lin put his hands on her shoulders and said, "It's windy outside, let's talk inside."

"They're all asleep. I'm here to ask you. We'll go to the catwalk tomorrow. Did you buy the tickets? Or buy them tomorrow?"

"Oh, I have entrusted Victor to get the admission ticket for me a long time ago, we can just go in tomorrow."

"Are the tickets for this kind of show as cheap as the fashion week of Aixiu?"

"Of course not. We are just starting out. One is to attract popularity, and the other is to make money. Tickets for high-end fashion shows like this are limited. Most of them can be entered by invitation, and only a small number of VIP tickets are given out. Selling, the price is very expensive. Victor is a VIP customer of several luxury brands, and those who spend more than one million a year can get invitation tickets."

"My God! Is it so difficult?"

"Influential media can get invitations. In addition, some sponsors will also have invitation tickets. Designers will also have some invitation tickets. In the future, our love show fashion week will definitely follow this high-end route .”

The two were chatting, and sister Lin shrugged her nose.

Wang Lin hugged her and walked into the room.

"I went to sleep." Sister Lin said.

"Or?" Wang Lin grabbed her hand and didn't let go.

"Huh? What do you want?" Sister Lin tilted her head to look at him, "Leave me here and chat all night?"

"Haha! I really want to!" Wang Lin said, "The bed is so big, it can sleep two people."

"Wang Lin, how bad are you! I won't give it to you!" Sister Lin gave him a blank look, and went out quickly.

Wang Lin smiled and shook his head, turned around and fell asleep.

The next day was the opening ceremony of Paris Fashion Week.

Whenever this time comes, it is the day when Paris is in the fashion world, because the legendary Paris Fashion Week has started again.

Major luxury brands and designer brands will take the opportunity to release their latest collections, and supermodels and show guests will never be absent.

The big show invited many top guests and models to help out, but sister Lin and the others did not know these big names.

Wang Lin has only seen their fashion blockbusters or endorsement advertisements in fashion magazines.

Transparent elements have repeatedly appeared in fashion conferences in the past few seasons, from high heels, boots, trousers to handbags, all of which have been applied with transparent materials.This element was very popular in the 90s.

From Loewe's topless dresses to Valentino's sheer dresses, from Dior's sheer dresses to Nina Ricci's organza blouses, opacity is no longer a requirement for clothing.

These brands are decades or even hundreds of years old, leading the fashion trend in Paris and even the whole world.

Wang Lin and the others came to the show for the purpose of observing and learning.

Each of them read it very seriously, because Wang Lin said that after returning to the hotel every day, everyone would write an after-view review, summarizing everything they saw today.

The color tone of the first show is mainly black. Black fur coats and black shoes are worn on tall models, and they walk like black waves.

For the second show, designers ushered in a veritable golden age, with gilded gowns and shimmering pleated skirts.This bright, lustrous hue has been seen multiple times on clothing from the likes of Balenciaga, Céline and Saint Laurent, and is a testament to the lifespan of luxury.

What Wang Lin didn't expect was that the phoenix robe they delivered to the designer Leinuo also appeared in the second show.

And it's the finale!
The model Camille appeared on the stage wearing a golden phoenix gown. As soon as she made her debut, there was a burst of admiration from the audience.

Among all the fashionable clothes, a skirt with oriental elements in a different style suddenly appeared, which blinded the eyes of all the audience.

The spotlight flashed non-stop, and the long tube and short mirror patted on the phoenix robe on the stage.

"It's amazing!" Sister Lin said in admiration, "The same dress is worn by a model on the catwalk, it looks really good."

Wang Lindao: "This is called the stage effect. When you are on the stage, your demeanor is far better than usual."

"You mean, I'm usually ugly? Not good-looking?"

"Huh? No, I—"

"Okay, don't hide it!"

"Hey! Your mouth is so sharp, I can't say no to you. I hope you will have a better husband in the future, and the two of you bicker every day!"

"My husband and I bicker every day. What good does it do you? Do you still want me to divorce again?"

"..."

When it comes to divorce, Sister Lin's expression is obviously a little sad.

Wang Lin shook her hand to show comfort.

Camille walked around the stage wearing a phoenix robe and slowly walked backstage.

There was a discussion at the scene.

Everyone was discussing, which designer and brand of clothing did this phoenix robe come from?
Why hasn't it been introduced before?

Next is the suit catwalk.

In the 80s and early 90s, suits had exaggerated shoulder widths. At that time, the exaggerated shoulder pads on mother’s clothes became the memory of many people?It seems that the wider the shoulders, the better the temperament.Later, wide shoulders were once put into the cold palace, and more and more dropped-shoulder suits began to appear, and fashion seemed to become less contrived.But this year, the bold shoulder design is still active in the fashion arena.

The fall catwalk trend is a general shift in high fashion towards minimalism, utilitarianism and gender-neutral dressing, a trend Wang Lin believes will easily trickle down into more mainstream fashion.

Paris Fashion Week can lead the fashion trend in the next six months to one year.

At the end of the day, Wang Lin and the others feasted their eyes. Not only did they appreciate the most outstanding clothing in the fashion industry, but they also saw the demeanor of many supermodels.

During Fashion Week, many brands, no matter big or small, often hold additional Showroom or media conferences.These two formats, may be participated by a brand, or with multiple designers, in order to attract VIP customers, buyers, news media, bloggers or department store representatives.

And these VIPs from all over the world may be the target of the brand's next cooperation, or they can directly sell the designer's work.Simply put, a trade fair is designed specifically for potential guests.

Wang Lin and the others went to watch Cartier's exhibition at night.

Cartier's trade fair was held in a bar with a very retro atmosphere.

Wang Lin, sister Lin, and Li Wenjuan walked into the bar.

Cartier's diamond creations are actually deeply influenced by oriental culture.Therefore, we can often see designs that are very distinctive, whether they are from the Middle East, Russia or even the Chinese world.The famous snow leopard style is the most symbolic work of Cartier.

Sister Lin took a fancy to a diamond necklace.

This is a very large pink diamond.

Large pink diamonds are the princesses of the diamond world and have always commanded high prices.

Nothing here has a price tag.

Sister Lin asked the staff around her in English: "How much is this?"

The staff replied politely: "368 million dollars."

"2000 million RMB!" Sister Lin quickly calculated the exchange rate.

Li Wenjuan whispered: "Just this necklace, 2000 million yuan? It's not as good as gold!"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Wenjuan, you still need to improve your aesthetics. Why are diamonds not as good-looking as gold?"

Li Wenjuan said, "Diamonds are stones, and gold is gold. Why do stones look better than gold? Westerners like to wear stones, but we Orientals still like gold. In ancient times, the Yellow Emperor and Queen used gold. I have never seen anyone use it." diamond."

Wang Lin was speechless for a moment.

He suddenly thought of some remarks that later generations had seen while surfing the Internet.

Some say diamonds are a marketing scam.

Isn't it a scam in the field of commercial marketing when a small stone is sold for hundreds of millions of dollars?But even so, sky-high price transactions are still active in the diamond market.

To some extent, a diamond is just a stone, and its value is not even as good as a Chinese cabbage.However, after a series of marketing operations, coupled with the scarcity of mining, its price has continued to rise.

But in fact, the reserves of diamonds are not scarce. The proven ones alone exceed 25 billion carats, and every Chinese can get 2 carats of diamonds when they are all mined.

That being the case, why are diamonds so expensive?It has something to do with a mining company called De Beers.

Founded in 1888, this company is the largest and oldest diamond company in the world. It has been synonymous with diamonds since its inception. During World War II, it acquired most of the world's diamond mines.I once monopolized the entire diamond industry for a hundred years, which means that I set the price of diamonds, the output is also set by me, and the grade of diamonds is also set by me. That's what they do.

The price of diamonds has been unable to rise until after 1950, when diamond merchants came up with a trick, which was to tie diamonds with love and spend a lot of money on publicity to convince the public that diamonds represent steadfast love.

Coupled with hunger marketing, the price of diamonds has soared.

After Sister Lin asked about the price, she was immediately shocked.

If it was only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of RMB, she might still buy it.

But this necklace will sell for 2000 million RMB. This sky-high price makes her daunted and dare not think too much about it.

Li Wenjuan said: "There is no need to buy it, this kind of thing is not good-looking. It is better to buy gold if you have money, and it can appreciate in value! It is not bad as an investment."

Sister Lin pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm just looking. How can I afford it? If you sell me, it won't be worth 2000 million."

Wang Lin coughed lightly: "I'll offer 2000 million! I bought you."

Sister Lin giggled and hit him with her hand: "You are a human trafficker! You bought me! What are you going to do with me?"

Li Wenjuan said: "When a man buys a woman, of course he uses it as a wife!"

Sister Lin said: "Wang Lin has a wife! Do you want to buy a wife?"

Li Wenjuan said: "Be a concubine!"

Sister Lin said: "Hey, Wenjuan, you are quite open-minded! Shouldn't you scold your brother-in-law?"

Li Wenjuan curled her lips proudly: "Hey! I know he's joking! You're so good, you're a big star, how can you still be my brother-in-law's kid?"

Sister Lin said: "Hey, if your brother-in-law really finds a concubine outside, what do you think?"

"I really found one? That's impossible, right? My sister's wife is doing well!" Li Wenjuan's big beautiful eyes flashed, but what she was thinking about was the matter between herself and Wang Lin.

Wang Lin coughed lightly: "That's enough! Don't make fun of me."

Sister Lin took Li Wenjuan's hand and walked forward.

Wang Lin beckoned to Clara.

Clara took two steps forward: "Mr. Wang Lin, please tell me something."

Wang Lin whispered a few words to her.

Clara smiled slightly: "Understood, I'll do it now."

Wang Lin still accompanied Sister Lin and the others to the fair.

Cartier's items are not expensive. They are a luxury brand, and the premiums they sell are extremely high.

A diamond of the same weight can be bought for [-] to [-] yuan outside, but it may cost tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands more here.These premiums belong to the expenses of brands and designers.

Wang Lin could afford all the items here, but he didn't buy a single item during his walk.

Li Wenjuan is not interested in diamonds, because in China, people around are proud of gold.

Sister Lin felt that the pink diamond was particularly eye-catching and beautiful, so she looked at it a few more times.

They came out of Cartier's exhibition, and it was already a dimly lit night outside.

"I heard that there are many bars in Paris, brother-in-law, do you want to try them?" Li Wenjuan smiled while holding Wang Lin's hand.

Wang Lindao: "You can experience it, but only Uncle Zhong and I can go, you go home and sleep!"

"Why?" Li Wenjuan jumped up, "I want to go too!"

Wang Lin smiled and said: "You also know that Paris is the capital of romance, and the women here are very open. Men go to bars, of course, for the sake of having an affair. If you women go, you will be approached by other men or even kissed by other men! Do you dare to go? ?”

Li Wenjuan was frightened.

Sister Lin said: "Wenjuan, let's not go, the bars in Paris are really messy! We women can't go to play."

Li Wenjuan pouted: "Okay then, I won't go, for fear of causing trouble. Brother-in-law, don't you go too? Why don't you go home and chat with us?"

Wang Lindao: "Didn't you say that, did you tell me to go to the bar to experience it? And I'm not allowed to go? I want to go! Uncle Zhong, let's go, go to the bar to see if we can catch beautiful French girls. I came to Paris recently I have hired many models, maybe I can even find a supermodel!"

Li Wenjuan's eyes widened: "..."
