This six-day Milan Fashion Week will open 11 brand walks from 9 am to 8 pm on the second day of the opening.

However, Gucci is definitely the only focus today. Prada, Armani, Fendi, Versace and other Italian luxury brands have previously staggered the date of the show and Gucci.

At the end of the Gucci show, except for a few people who need to leave the field, most other media and guests have stayed. In addition to the photo interviews after the show, Gucci also arranged a rich luncheon, and will also hold a grand brand theme party at night.

Just with Simon after watching the 15-minute catwalk, Sophia Fischer began to be busy again, and both Janet and Jennifer were pulled by her to help.

Simon turned to the rest area carefully arranged by another factory next door to the show.

Exquisite sofas, open bar counters and indispensable product displays make this lounge area look artistic, and at the same time it is convenient for people to rest and communicate.

After accepting media interviews and taking photos, the guests also gradually gathered here for a rest, waiting for the luncheon to start at 11:30.

Subsequently, the model team responsible for this catwalk also appeared one after another.Because it is the busiest fashion season in the circle, these models will certainly not be the only catwalk to come to Milan, but because of Gucci, they do not need to go to other shows at least this morning.

Near the round table in the corner of the seating area.

Madonna entangled Simon when she came here: "Simon, the sales of the original soundtrack are really amazing. How about helping me create an album? I can star in Daenerys Entertainment for free."

Simon felt that the woman was almost sticking to herself, and had to let aside, said: "Maggie, the soundtrack's success was just an accident. Moreover, you come to star in Daenerys Entertainment's movie for free, such chips can be Not attractive at all."

"Oh, Simon, it's really hurting you to say that. Isn't my performance very good here?" Madonna persevered and fell on Simon, saying, "Or, we can cooperate, just like Danielle Silk Entertainment did the same with Alista Records on the original sound."

Simon shook his head firmly again and said, "It's very painstaking to make a record. I don't have this time now."

"Alas, Simon, you are so unsympathetic, and I still treat you as a good friend."

Simon smiled: "Since you are a friend, you should be less involved in work."

"You're wrong, friends should help each other," Madonna retorted, seeing Simon not letting go, turning around: "In addition, the shooting team I just saw suddenly wondered if my concert next year could be produced. A documentary."

Simon heard that and immediately remembered Madonna's music documentary.

In memory, Madonna produced a music documentary based on the 1990'Blonde Ambitious' World Tour experience at a cost of less than $5 million in the world, with nearly $30 million at the box office, compared to Michael Jackson in 1985 The same type is much more successful.

However, knowing that the woman next to him is actually very smart, Simon did not immediately show any interest, just said: "It is mainly used for brand promotion, what do you do for documentary?"

"Maybe it can be a big sale," Madonna suddenly came in and immediately calculated it: "The budget for such a documentary should not be too high, a few million is enough. And, not just me, when the time comes Many friends will appear in the show, especially Simon Westeros performance, which is very rare. So, in the future, even if you can’t log in to the theater like Jackson’s, through video distribution and TV rights sales, you can earn costs It should be no problem."

Madonna made up her mind when she spoke, and looked up and said, "Simon, do you want to cooperate? If you don't want to, I'll go find someone else."

Simon noticed the tentative temptation in Madonna's eyes and smiled, "If not,

Madonna is now using the money, but she is well aware of the absolute rule of never investing her money in movies in this circle.

Seeing that Simon was indifferent, Madonna tentatively tried again: "So I'll find another film company to cooperate?"

Now in Hollywood, who doesn’t know Simon Westero’s vision, if the little man next to him is interested in her documentary ideas, no matter whether the documentary can really succeed in the future, she can use this as a bargain for herself More benefits.

Simon just shrugged his shoulders and was about to say something more. A group of beautiful stunners with tall bodies and beautiful appearances walked towards them with a smile and it was just a model of this catwalk.

There was no splash on Michael Jackson’s, Simon did not believe how many people would be interested in Madonna’s music documentary, so he planned to air the woman first, pretending to be caught by Cindy Crawford and others who came by , Saying hello: "Cindy, are you busy?"

"Take a break for a while and take pictures in the afternoon," Cindy Crawford said, just nodding at Madonna casually, and he sat down on the other side of Simon very unkindly, saying nothing: "You are talking what?"

Simon responded casually, and models such as Paulina Preskova, Helena Christensen, Stephanie Seymour, and Simon greeted each other and sat down around this round table.Madonna saw that Simon was completely attracted by a group of goblins, no longer left to be boring, and took the initiative to get up and walk to other places.

Simon was just a two-seater minimalist sofa.Madonna got up, he wanted to move to the other side to make the space more relaxed, and a slender figure sat down.The body was slightly squeezed and another light fragrance came. Simon turned his head to look. This is a girl with brown hair and blue eyes and some cheekbones, wearing a simple white shirt and washed jeans.

I have seen it during the last dress rehearsal, not to mention there is too much information in the memory. Simon did not pretend not to know it and said in Italian: "Miss Bruni, hello."

Carla Bruni froze for a while, and also said in Italian: "Hello, Mr. Westero, your Italian accent seems to be more standard than mine."

Simon smiled: "How is it possible that you are not Italian?"

Carla Bruni took the coffee from the waiter and held it in his hand, saying: "I emigrated to France with my family when I was 5 years old."

Simon waved his hand to the waiter, pointed to the cup of coffee that was already on the round table in front of him, and continued to talk to Carla Bruni: "Why do you want to immigrate to France, the Bruni family seems to be very prominent in Italy."

"The security in Italy is getting worse in those years, and the family is worried about being kidnapped, so they have to emigrate," Carla Bruni said to Simon again: "Mr. Westeros, if you spend time here Be longer, try to be careful."

Simon nodded and said, "Also, just call me Simon."

Stephanie Seymour on the single sofa next to him saw that the two had been talking in Italian and interjected dissatisfiedly: "Simon, Carla, what are you talking about, everyone can't understand."

"Talking about the Mafia, you have to be more careful in Milan these days."

Stephanie Seymour doesn't seem to know anything about it, and doesn't care too much: "We are not the little models who just debuted."

So chatting, the time soon came to 11 o'clock, the staff began to remind everyone to rush to a nearby hotel, lunch will be held there.

When Carla Bruni got up, he generously gave Simon a business card, hoping to talk again when he was free.

Simon had no idea about this woman who was known as the "eating male and female demon", and it did not meet his aesthetic, but he still put away his business card.

In the next few days, the Gucci team led by Sofia was busy.

Newspaper articles, magazine topics and TV interviews about the Gucci show were quickly spread in the media of various countries. Although some newspapers and magazines criticized Gucci's fashion show for this big show and even the new season, it was too commercial, but the overall The trend of public opinion is obviously inclined to positive.

The four major fashion weeks of this era are organized in London, Milan, Paris and New York.

Until the opening of Paris Fashion Week, Gucci discussions in the media were gradually diverted by the major French luxury brands, and the local Prada, Armani and other brands in Italy were completely suppressed by Gucci.

The day after the big show, Simon and Janet started their own schedule.

First flew to Rome, met Giuseppe Tonadore who was preparing for the final, and also attended a meeting of the Italian film circle.

In the 1970s, due to the rise of the Hollywood Italian Gang, Italian filmmakers have been in Hollywood for several years.However, this kind of scenery disappeared with the failure of a series of European directors' big production in Hollywood.However, as a world film center, Italian filmmakers still have an instinctive yearning for Hollywood, and Simon, the young Hollywood tycoon that has risen rapidly in recent years, is naturally welcomed by the Italian film industry.

When he bought the property, he failed to choose the right place in Rome. Simon and Janet stayed in the city for three days and rushed to Florence.

The multiple identities such as the newest richest man in the United States and the Hollywood media tycoon made Simon's trip to Italy much concerned by the local media, and the local media in Italy is no less active than North America.

As soon as he arrived in Milan, Simon has been the chase of Italian paparazzi. He has continuously ran through the three most important cities in Italy. It is inevitable to say a few beautiful words when confronted by the media. Simon quickly became a target for this country in the Italian media. Very affectionate American rich.

Speaking of which, if not for potential concerns about security issues, Simon does have a good opinion of Italy, a country with deep cultural heritage.

Only the second day after leaving Milan, Simon's mansion on the shore of Lake Como suffered an attempted intrusion because of the exposure of local newspapers.

Simon installed alarm systems in all European residences. The intruder was found just after crossing the fence. The Milan police arrested a group of five criminal gangs with obvious gangster backgrounds.The private house of Simon, an influential public figure, was invaded, and it will surely affect the image of Milan. The Milan government sent people to lobby soon after the incident, hoping that Simon would not talk about it.

Since no losses were incurred, Simon would naturally not make a fuss.

However, Simon then handed over to Sofia a media public relations mission to avoid the exposure of his residence information throughout Europe as much as possible. He also considered continuing to upgrade or develop a more rigorous residential monitoring and alarm system.As a guy with a strong sense of territory like a lion, Simon does not care about the possible financial loss after these houses are broken into, but the intrusion of private territory makes him very, very uncomfortable.

Florence.

Simon's manor in the southern suburbs of the city is already on Thursday, September 28th.

Milan Fashion Week ended on the 26th, and Sofia led the team back to Florence.

After a day of work, at six o'clock in the afternoon, Sofia drove here, asked the bodyguard in the lower front yard, and walked directly around the villa to the back yard.

On the lawn under the setting sun, Simon and Janet were standing together at a long table covered with various documents and whispering what was being discussed, and Jennifer was also nearby.Seeing Sofia appear, the two stopped talking, everyone greeted each other, Sofia glanced at the document on the desktop at random, saw a document printed with the title of "Columbia Savings Credit Bank Bond Asset Risk Assessment", and withdrew it with interest. look.

Simon did not shy away and said to Sofia: "Can't I show you these, let's go to the living room."

Sofia responded with a smile, as Simon entered the villa.

The two sat on the sofa in the living room. Simon remembered one thing and asked: "Over there, what's going on with Sabina Frilli, are you good friends?"

Sofia pulled the document from the shoulder bag she brought, and heard: "Sabina's father is an official of the Milan city government. We can get the factory in the eastern suburbs to hold a catwalk. The other party helped a lot. "

Simon nodded and asked no more.

If you want to do business in any country, it is impossible to deal with the government. If you want to make the business bigger, it is even more impossible to establish a closer relationship with the local government. Your senior woman is obviously very familiar with this. , Simon did not intend to bother too much.

Sofia also did not say much, but handed the documents pulled out of the shoulder bag to Simon, saying: "This is Gucci's various aspects of the business status and financial data in recent months, and there are several project planning books."

Simon took it over, opened a document and said, "Suddenly let me see what these do?"

Sofia Road: "From the perspective of Gucci's recent operations, this year's revenue data should be able to exceed US$350 million, a significant increase of 35% compared to last year's annual revenue of US$260 million. However, this is in competition with Dior and Chanel There is still a big gap between opponents. Dior's revenue last year was as high as 830 million US dollars, and its net profit was 120 million US dollars."

Simon yelled, waiting for Sofia to continue.

Sofia paused a little and then said: "Fortunately, Gucci has recovered very quickly in recent months. My expectation for this company is that next year's revenue data can exceed $600 million and overtake Dior in 1991. Want to achieve At this point, we must continue to expand the scale of Gucci. A few of your project planning books include plans to acquire workshops, refurbishment and employee training plans for Gucci stores worldwide, and a copy of the fourth quarter of this year and next year. Marketing budget plan. Simon, if you agree, Gucci will not retain any profits in the past two years. I plan to use all the funds for the expansion of the company, and I will carry out loan financing again when necessary."
