Chapter 470 Butterfly Effect(2/2)
what's up?
It must be said that many coincidences came together.
On the one hand, in late April, a clothing, shoes and hats exhibition in five provinces and cities sponsored by the Ministry of Light Industry was held in Beijing as scheduled.
The Shanghai and Shanghai fashion show team also came to the capital along with the Shanghai and Shanghai exhibition group.
On April 28, the opening ceremony of the trade fair was held at the Agricultural Exhibition Center Theater. The Shanghai Fashion Model Team performed for the public on stage in the capital for the first time and achieved amazing success.
After that, the twenty-day performance was in full swing and every venue was sold out.
Because the audience was so enthusiastic, the Ministry of Light Industry had to decide to extend the show for ten days and postpone the fair to one month.
It should be said that this was what actually happened in history, and it was already sensational enough.
But what is different from history is that Ning Weimin also brought a huge butterfly effect.
Also this month, the first model competition - the "Splendid Oriental Model Competition" planned by Pierre Carton Clothing Company, co-sponsored by the Ministry of Textiles, the Ministry of Economy and Trade and several fashion magazines in Beijing was officially announced.
Trials are initially scheduled to be held in Beijing in late June.
The entry criteria cover all provinces, cities and regions across the country and are open to all clothing models with actual stage experience.
The registration brochure for the competition states that as long as they have basic stage qualities, are of the right age and must be over 1.73 meters tall and weigh under 58 kilograms, and can bring relevant letters of introduction from the performing company, they can participate.
All contestants who enter the preliminary rounds will have their travel expenses reimbursed by Pierre Carton.
And bear all the expenses for food, accommodation and training during the three-month competition.
Pierre Carton will sign a three-year labor contract with the twenty-four finalists and be responsible for further training and recommendation related work.
So this competition completely heated up the fashion modeling industry.
Especially the ongoing clothing exhibition is like pouring oil on a raging fire, making it increasingly difficult to get a ticket.
The fare was obviously only one yuan and fifty cents, but it jumped to five yuan.
And because of the urgent consultation and strong request from the Ministry of Light Industry, the first model competition eventually became a competition co-sponsored by three ministries.
For the purpose of business exchanges, the Textile Department also temporarily decided to organize the group of models who performed at Nishiura Department Store in Japan on the closing day of the trade fair to hold a joint performance with the Shanghai and Shanghai costume performance teams.
This is amazing, the best models from Beijing and Shanghai are performing together.
Needless to say, the ticket prices on the last day skyrocketed and were actually sold to fifteen yuan a ticket.
The ticket sellers in the capital were happy, as they had finally ushered in a grand carnival.
But this is not the end, because what is even more coincidental is that this month coincides with the then French President François Mitterrand's visit to China.
Moreover, the banquet for the reception was arranged at the Jianguo Hotel in Beijing.
As a result, something extremely unexpected happened during the banquet.
I bet you, when François Mitterrand came to the Jianguo Hotel, he got off the car, surrounded by everyone, and saw the Pierre Carton store as soon as he walked into the hotel lobby.
As the saying goes, fellow villagers burst into tears when they see fellow villagers. This sentiment is not only shared by Chinese people, but also by foreigners.
The French president had no idea that he could see French brands here, so he was very happy.
Being so excited, he made an impromptu decision and stayed in the specialty store for ten minutes.
Then other people have to accompany you throughout the whole process.
What's even more unexpected is that the French president is quite interested.
Not only did he chat with the salesperson in the store with a smile, he also entered the store and looked at the listed products very carefully.
I am also very interested in the sculptures obtained by Ning Weimin.
When taking a photo with the salesperson, he looked like a child, holding up his thumbs in public to support the French brand.
When people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs saw how happy the man who came to sign the nuclear power cooperation memorandum was, they took the matter seriously.
Later, I communicated privately with the French staff.
In this way, Song Huagui became the special guest invited at the thank-you dinner to bid farewell to the French President.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs invited her to arrange a small costume show of about ten minutes to add to the fun.
Needless to say, the clothes worn by the models must be products of cooperation between the two countries.
Think about it, photos of the French president in China are transmitted to Europe by AFP every day. What are the subsequent effects of this incident?
Surely this will not end just because the French president signs the memorandum and leaves the republic.
Considering the actual situation that Pierre Carton's investment in China is getting larger and larger, and its influence is also growing, this matter has even attracted the attention of Zhongnanhai.
So those models who had performed for Mitterrand, as well as the Shanghai model team that came to Beijing, were all invited to Zhongnanhai to give presentations and performances.
In this way, with the approval of the top decision-makers, the fashion show with the characteristics of the Republic finally obtained the license to open to the public.
After the report on the performance was finalized.
There are no longer any worries that can hinder the TV station from fighting for the right to broadcast the model competition.
Not only is Beijing TV station silent at this time about limited funds, but it hopes that Pierre Carton can provide financial support.
Even the national television station complained to Song Huagui, saying she was not interesting enough.
It was obviously advertising on their station, but they found another company to cooperate with for the live broadcast of the competition.
It is conceivable that the trend of eventually being broadcast jointly by the two TV stations is already obvious.
So it is no exaggeration to say that by now, Pierre Carton's name is resounding throughout the Republic, and it is like the sun.
As long as you are a Chinese, you will definitely recognize that the highest-end clothing in the country is Pierre Carton.
And because of this, everyone at Pierre Carton Company was almost crazy busy, and they were all kicked in the back of the head.
Song Huagui even had to ask for help from the French headquarters because the situation was getting a little out of control.
I hope Pierre Carton can appoint some people with experience in organizing model competitions, as well as professional body teachers to go to China to help.
I no longer have time to take care of things other than the main business of clothing and competitions.
In fact, let alone the head office, the same goes for models like Qu Xiao and Shi Kaili.
They haven't had a good rest since they came back from Japan.
First, summarize the report and receive condolences from the leaders.
Then I was busy visiting relatives and friends and giving away the gifts I brought back.
After that, they heard about the modeling contest in advance through the channels of Pierre Catton Company.
While continuing with daily performance tasks, register in advance and prepare for the competition.
Before I could take a breath, several important political tasks came up: performing for the President of France, performing for an exchange with the Shanghai Model Team, and performing for a report in Zhongnanhai.
As a result, this girl Quxiao couldn't even meet Ning Weimin and give him the gift she bought from Japan because of these sudden things that happened to her.
Not only was the originally arranged time disrupted, but even her personal freedom was temporarily lost.
Because they have to be gathered together for training, and they also have to undergo review and safety training by the security department.
Just like that, Qu Xiao couldn't even join the class at all.
Someone from the Textile Department went to contact the Chongwenmen Hotel on her behalf and completed the formalities for her to be suspended without pay.
A red-headed document was issued and relevant records were made in Qu Xiao's file.
This is a procedure to prove that this is a special need for the country.
One can imagine how happy Qu Xiao's parents will be. Now they are completely relieved about their daughter's future.
It is true as Ning Weimin said, he saw his daughter becoming more and more brilliant on the fashion stage with his own eyes.
Of course, it is also because of this that Ning Wei's private establishment of the Imperial Palace Restaurant and his advance payment of 150,000 yuan to Beishen Kitchen for repairs in advance did not encounter any resistance from the head office.
Who allowed this opportunity to happen?
Now it's not that others don't want to embarrass him, it's that they simply don't have time to embarrass him.
Now the only meetings held at the head office are to announce and discuss the model contest.
Song Huagui has told Ning Weimin that if there is nothing important before the competition, he does not need to attend the regular company meeting.
Song Huagui didn't even read the report he sent for instructions.
Zou Guodong was only allowed to read it, give a brief summary, and then signed and approved it.
If there is any hope for Ning Weimin, it is enough for him to take care of his own affairs and stop looking for trouble for the company.
As the saying goes, time is also destiny!
Ning Weimin himself never thought that at such an important moment, God would be so kind to him.
It actually gave him complete autonomy to operate his own business.
Then he might as well be in the water, snickering?
Just one word, beautiful!
Needless to say, the funds were received almost immediately.
Chapter completed!
