Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon

On August 16, the Palais de Tokyo in Paris.

The Palais de Tokyo in Paris, this place has nothing to do with Tokyo, Japan.

It was a magnificent building built by the French government to host the Paris World’s Fair in 1942. Because the street facing the Tokyo Palace was called Tokyo Avenue, it was named Tokyo Palace. After World War II, Tokyo Avenue was renamed New York Avenue, but Tokyo The name Gong has been retained.

The venues of the Paris Fashion Week show are relatively scattered, not in a unified place. The choice of show venues is also different according to the brand style.

Generally speaking, the big-name show cards of Paris Fashion Week are mainly concentrated in the following places.

The first is the Museum of Mankind in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. It is located to the west of the gardens of Tetrocadero and is the National Museum of Natural History in Paris.

The second is the Palais de Tokyo on New York Avenue, the Caruso Square and Tuileries Garden in the Louvre in District 1, and the Frey Sinai Open Room at the historic site of the Paris School of Fine Arts in the 6th District and the Railway Building in the 13th District. .

The fashion show of Kirin Clothing Company is held at the Palais de Tokyo on New York Avenue, where brands such as Dior and Givenchy are also on display.

Of course, in the time before Paris Fashion Week started, Li Zhiwen was not idle.

Instead, he invested in intense acquisitions. After all, for the sluggish French economic environment at this time, acquiring these luxury brands at this time is like picking up the bargains.

Li Zhiwen's first goal is Balenciaga, after all, the acquisition of this brand is as simple as drinking water.

As mentioned above, Balenciaga has been in a dormant state since its founder, Cristobal Valenciaga, closed the fashion house of Balenciaga in 1968. After his death in 1972, Balenciaga has been sleeping.

Li Zhiwen found Babia Bar Valencia, the son of Cristobal Valencia, who was destitute at this time, and bought the Balenciaga brand for only 300,000 francs.

Then Li Zhiwen bought the Balenciaga fashion house and asked Zhang Qingliang to recruit local staff and designers in Paris, striving to let Balenciaga see the light again as soon as possible.

Paris may lack everything, the only thing that is not lacking is the designer. Of course, it is not easy to invite famous designers.

However, Li Zhiwen does not intend to go straight to the sky, but first open the Balenciaga fashion house, and then do further sorting.

And the second one who suffered a brutal attack was Dior. Dior’s holding company Boussac was almost in decline and intended to transfer its shares, including its famous Dior brand.

Li Zhiwen went to the door to buy the Dior brand from Boussac. Its president Henry Robert Pierce was overjoyed.

At the beginning, Li Zhiwen was regarded as an old lining. Who knows that the current situation in the French fashion industry will not come to buy Dior. It is not a fool.

So Henry Robert Pierce took Li Zhiwen as a fool and quoted a price of 10 million francs.

Li Zhiwen turned around and was about to leave. Later Henry Robert Pierce dragged Li Zhiwen to prevent him from leaving. Henry Robert Pierce was really afraid that Dior would hit him.

Li Zhiwen looked at Henry Robert Pierce’s performance and wanted to laugh. He held back his laugh and talked with Henry Robert Pierce for a long time, and finally sold for three million francs. Since then, Dior’s surname is Li.

When he was about to leave, Li Zhiwen thought, since Henry Robert Pierce has held the Dior brand for so many years, he must be well-connected in the French fashion industry. So he asked Henry Robert Pierce to help him buy various brands in the French luxury goods industry and pay after the transaction. Some remuneration for him is just fine.

Henry Robert Pierce was much more happy when he heard Li Zhiwen's words. He didn't expect that there were such proud customers, and he happily agreed.

He patted his chest and told Li Zhiwen about his status in the French fashion industry. Li Zhiwen didn't care about it. It's the best if there is improvement, and there is no fear. The big deal is to go on the horse himself.

And Zhang Qingliang never dreamed that Ivan Markovic, the head of the Dior brand fashion week, who was chatting and laughing with him at this time, turned out to be his colleague.

When Zhang Qingliang saw Li Zhiwen walking into the show, he terminated the conversation with Ivan Markovic, the person in charge of Dior Brand Fashion Week, trot a few steps and walked up to Li Zhiwen and said, "Boss, you are here."

"How are your preparations? There will be no accidents," Li Zhiwen asked.

"It's ready, just waiting to be on stage." Zhang Qingliang said.

"Where did you find the model and how?" Li Zhiwen asked.

"Part of it was found from Hong Kong to showcase our cheongsam series and Hanfu series. After all, cheongsam and Hanfu are still beautiful for my oriental people."

"The other part was found in a model agency in Paris to showcase our other show models." Zhang Qingliang said.

Li Zhiwen nodded, indicating that he knew it.

"Boss, there is a seat prepared by the organizer for our company. I will take you there." Zhang Qingliang pointed to the side of the runway and said.

"Okay, I see, no need, you are busy, I can go by myself, you can take care of the backstage, don't have any accidents." Li Zhiwen said.

Li Zhiwen comes from a later generation, but knows that many messy accidents will happen on the runway.

Stepping on the air, falling down, falling off clothes and shoes, etc. happen from time to time. It is not a certain model who fell down in later generations, and finally fell into He Chaoqiong's family.

"I know, Boss, I've had my life with the models, and I told them about the unexpected solution." Zhang Qingliang said.

"That's good!" Li Zhiwen exhorted a few more words and then left the backstage and walked towards the side of the runway~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Soon after Li Zhiwen sat down, amidst the soothing music, the show officially began.

The first ones on stage were Givenchy's models. They were well-trained, slim and decent, walking confidently on the runway.

The display on the left and the display on the right show the advantages of the fashion clothes vividly and exquisitely.

Models rely on their own stage performance abilities, each pose is full of charm, with their hands on hips and their heads high, so that Li Zhiwen, who does not understand model catwalks, has reached a high point of excitement.

Not to mention the buyers and fashion reporters around Li Zhiwen. The fashion reporters on the scene patted left and right, vowing to show the model and fashion.

Several fashion designers even commented on the models on the stage, telling the advantages and disadvantages of this fashion, what styles are preferable, and where the fashion is modified, it will be more suitable and more acceptable to buyers.

Of course, these people are not the only people on the T stage. The stars below the T stage are shining, and many European stars also come to watch the catwalk.
