Chapter 202 If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight

After dinner, Xian Yaowen went to the theater to watch the play. Because every actor was wearing heavy makeup, he did not recognize which one was Grace Kelly.

The stage play was not exciting. Within a few minutes of watching it, he began to think about the "Princess Plan".

The next day.

Xian Yaowen dated Ava, went horse riding at a suburban racecourse, ate beer and cooked oysters in a nice restaurant, and did not forget to give away the bag.

There was not much ambiguity between the two of them, but the flavor of business entertainment was more intense.

After returning from the suburbs, he rushed to a motel and happened to meet Yang Leimeng in the parking lot carrying an insulated lunch box.

"Chinese food?"

"I bought it at a tea restaurant in Chinatown."

"You should buy some steaks and burgers, but thank you for your hard work. I'm sorry that I asked you to help with things on the weekend."

"Boss, it's okay, I have no plans today."

"what room number?"

"No. 6 and No. 7."

"Give me the things and you go back first. There is still a little time before good night. You can do something non-work related. Tomorrow will be another busy day."

"it is good."

Watching Yang Leimeng drive away, Xian Yaowen knocked on the door of Room 6 with a lunch box.

"General manager."

As soon as the door opened, Quan Xu's face popped out.

"Axu, did you enjoy your trip?"

"pretty good."

Quan Xu retreated and made way for Xian Yaowen to enter.

Xian Yaowen entered the room and looked around. He had a panoramic view of the room, "Can you get used to living here?"

"I'm used to it. It's much better than the conditions at home."

Xian Yaowen raised the lunch box in his hand and said, "Miss Yang bought you Cantonese snacks. I think you haven't missed the food of your hometown yet. Call Xia Songfang and I will take you to eat some American food." "

Xian Yaowen took the two of them out for a typical American dinner, bought some beer and took it back to the motel. Then he and Quan Xu found a piece of grass where there were not so many bugs and sat on the ground.

Opening two bottles of beer with his bare hands, he handed one of them to Quan Xu, "Axu, I have always thought that you are a person with potential, so I kept you by my side. My previous plan was to let you be around me. Year, we will arrange your subsequent positions according to the situation.

Now, the business is developing faster than expected, and I have to adjust some plans. From this moment on, you are no longer an employee of Zhonghua Garments, but affiliated to Juliet Brand Management Company. Of course, the boss is still me. "

Quan Xu knew he had won the jackpot from the moment he received the news that he was coming to Mricken. There was no need for a waiter to travel, let alone to Mricken, which was thousands of miles away and was said to be filled with gold. He listened attentively, not wanting to miss a single word. .

"You have potential, but you can't talk about ability. You don't have enough work experience, and you lack relevant knowledge reserves. You have to quickly accumulate experience in arduous work, and you also have to find time to study systematically.

Starting from tomorrow, you must have a clear understanding of time. There are twenty-four hours in a day, and you only have five hours to sleep. The time is very short, but you must ensure that a short period of sleep can keep you energetic throughout the day;
For the remaining nineteen hours, you have to make good arrangements. Meal time should not just be used for eating. You should work or study while eating, and you should also develop the habit of going to the toilet and getting a newspaper. "

Xian Yaowen pointed to a car parked not far away, "When I saw this car, the word 'Hot Rod' popped up in my mind. This is a word about American car culture, involving the development of the automobile industry and humanistic culture. , if the car owner is a potential customer I want to contact, I have a basic judgment on the person's character. During the contact process, I know what to talk about, which will make me feel like a fish in water.

For another example, if you read in the newspaper that the rainfall in Kansas and Montana this year is abnormal, your first reaction should be how much wheat production will decrease, how much the price of international wheat bulk goods will increase, how much the terminal selling price will increase, how much the tea price will increase. How much will restaurants increase, and how much will the average family spend on food?

There are many more, I won’t give examples one by one. A piece of news can bring a series of profits, such as futures, stocks, and hoarding, and can also avoid a series of risks. A family’s income is limited, food expenses increase, and other aspects. Expenditures can only be reduced, and many industries will be affected.

When it comes to family income, just what you know now is not enough. You must know something about the families in each class of society, including the baggage carriers at the pier, the rich people living in the middle of the mountains, and many more in the past. Something you don’t have access to or have never considered. "

After a pause, Xian Yaowen continued: "Your English is passable, your French and German are only beginners, and the observation of words and emotions you learned in the teahouse can only be said to be superficial. Opening a grocery store and dealing with the neighbors are enough. It's not enough to deal with people at higher levels.

Qu Yuan said, "The road is long and long, and I will search up and down." Thomas Fuller said, "Knowledge is a treasure, and practice is the key to obtaining it." It is difficult to use it at your current level, so hurry up. Take the time to work harder and study more. "

As he said that, Xian Yaowen patted Quan Xu on the shoulder, "Song Zhenzong once said, 'There is a golden house in the book.' As long as you have enough ability, everything will become beautiful, including position, salary, luxury house, car, I am As a generous person, you will always get something in return that exceeds what you give.”

"Thank you, boss, I think I know what to do." Quan Xu raised the bottle, "Boss, I respect you."

"cheers."

After a sip of wine, Xian Yaowen stopped feeding Quan Xu chicken soup. He had said enough. If Quan Xu didn't drink enough, it only meant that he had misjudged the person. He could switch to Zhang Xu and Li Xu and do the same operation again. , Quanxu is not his son, the two parties are just using each other, and the opportunity will only be given once.

After chatting for a while, he took out a map of New York and introduced the subway, bus, and tram routes to Quan Xu. He also marked dangerous areas on the map and asked Quan Xu to find it at the Flower Club office before nine o'clock tomorrow. He reports. …

The next day.

As soon as he got to work, Simpson, who came back from Los Angeles, came to report to Xian Yaowen.

"Adam, the cover matter has been settled, but regarding the lawsuit and hype, Johnny Hyde wants to discuss the details with you in person."

"Who is Johnny Hyde?"

"The vice president of William Morris is also Monroe's agent. I guess the relationship between the two of them is unusual." Simpson smiled ambiguously.

"It's always like this in the entertainment industry. Clay, when does Mr. Hyde want to see me?"

"He has time to fly over tomorrow."

"Meet tonight?"

"I think so."

"No problem, you can inform him that I am available." Xian Yaowen put down his pen and looked up at Simpson, "Clay, I will give you two options now. After tomorrow, you will hand over the work you are responsible for, and then go back to work on your illustrations. Teacher, or I will give you the position of deputy business director, and you will be responsible for contacting the flower club’s external business."

"Really?" Simpson said in surprise: "Adam, you discovered my business talent? I have always thought that I am a sales genius like Willy Loman, who can sell anything..."

[Willy Loman was the leading actor in the play "Death of a Salesman" and was quite influential in the United States at that time. As a gossip, the author was Monroe's third husband. ]
"Clay, don't get excited. The appointment is only temporary. If you do well, it will become official. If you do poorly, you will go back to being an illustrator."

"I'm willing to accept the challenge." Simpson said, sitting upright.

"OK, you have a new task. The Palace Theater is performing "The Rich Lady". There is a supporting role in it, Grace Kelly. Her father is John B. Kelly. I watched her performance and it was very good. I want you to sign her."

Xian Yaowen gave Simpson a cigar and lit it for him, "There is a company in Hong Kong, Ken Walker, which is mainly engaged in modeling business. In the near future, maybe tomorrow, Ken Walker and Flower Society will become strategic partners. With the help of Flower Society, we will The influence formed promoted the modeling business in the United States.

You know, our magazine needs many beauties in every issue. Their dreams are either actors or models. We plant our own apple trees. The sweetest apples are naturally tasted by ourselves. Not too many, just one or two per season. . "

"Adam, Ken Walker is your company?"

"Yes, but you don't need to care about this. You represent the interests of the flower club. When signing the cooperation agreement, you will come forward to discuss the distribution of benefits with Adam Hepburn, Ken Walker's general manager. But first, you have to represent Ken Walker to decide the profit distribution. When you sign Lacey Kelly, you can promise her a big advertising contract, or you can promise her a big movie production."

"Grace Kelly was just a small character?"

"Yes."

Simpson flicked the eggplant ashes and said, "Then I don't think there's any need to promise her such high conditions. I just need to give her the cover of a magazine or the illustrations on the inside pages."

Xian Yaowen spread his hands and said, "This is best. I just don't want you to face a big challenge as soon as you take office. Is there anything else?"

"No."

"you can go now."

As soon as Simpson left, Catherine came over again with a sketch of Catwoman's look.

"Adam, what do you think?"

"Not so much. I need a tail. It's black like the clothes. It's detachable. It's a whip and a garter in your hand. Try to blend in. You know Jane, talk to her and dig her out. Characteristics of the body.”

"OK, I will."

Quan Xu, who was sitting in the corner reading the newspaper, had been absent-minded. He was distractedly observing Xian Yaowen, watching a man stop briefly in front of his work station, listening to his various quotations, and some of them understood the meaning, but did not know what it meant. Words and sentences, I know more clearly that I am still far behind.

He was very curious about how much knowledge Xian Yaowen had in his mind. When making clothes in China, he also quoted from classics and had historical allusions and textile expertise at his fingertips.

Others might think that Xian Yaowen is a prophet and everything is innate, but he who helped Xian Yaowen organize the newspapers vaguely guessed that he was gaining knowledge every day, because several times he heard Xian Yaowen say things that appeared in newspapers. Yes, he marked it.

Suddenly, he had a hypothesis. If Zhonghua Garments and the flower club in front of him were his own industries, would he be able to manage them well?

Ask yourself, the answer is no, not to mention the flower club with communication barriers, or even Zhonghua Garments. He only knows a little bit about the entire process of garment making.

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. I'm still far from it."

After muttering silently, Quan Xu lowered his head and continued reading the newspaper, which was a bit unfamiliar to him.
