This six-day Milan Fashion Week, a total of 11 brand catwalks will be held from 9:00 am to 8:00 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 dates of their catwalks with Gucci.

At the end of the Gucci show, most of the media and guests stayed, except for a few people who needed to leave in a hurry. In addition to the post-show photo interview and other links, Gucci also arranged a sumptuous luncheon, and also held a grand brand-themed party in the evening.

Just accompany Simon to watch the 15-minute catwalk, Sophia Fisher started busy again, and Janet and Jennifer were both pulled by her to help.

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

Exquisite sofas, open bar counters and essential gucci product displays make this lounge area full of artistic atmosphere, and it is also convenient for people to rest and socialize in it.

After accepting media interviews and taking pictures, all the guests also gradually gathered here to take a break and wait for the start of the luncheon at 11:30.

Subsequently, the model team responsible for the show also appeared one after another.

Because it is the busiest fashion season in the circle, these models will certainly not only have this show in Milan, but because of Gucci, they do not need to go to other shows at least this morning.

At the round table in the corner of the lounge area.

After Madonna came here, she entangled Simon and said: "Simon, the sales of the "Bodyguard" soundtrack are really amazing. How about helping me create an album? I can star in Daenerys Entertainment's movies for free."

Simon felt that the woman was almost sticking to himself, so he had to give way to the side, saying: "Maggie, the success of the original soundtrack of "The Bodyguard" was just an accident. Besides, you came to star in the film of Daenerys Entertainment for free, so that The chips are not attractive at all.”

"Oh, Simon, it hurts you to say that, didn't I do well in Pulp Fiction?" Madonna persevered and slapped Simon again, saying: "Or, we can cooperate, just Like Daenerys Entertainment's collaboration with Alista Records on the 'Bodyguard' soundtrack."

Simon shook his head again firmly, and said, "Making records is a lot of work, and I don't have that kind of time right now."

"Oh, Simon, you're so heartless. I still treat you as a good friend."

Simon smiled and said, "Since they are friends, they should be less involved in work."

"You're wrong, friends should help each other," Madonna retorted, seeing that Simon didn't let go, she turned: "In addition, I just saw the shooting team of "Gucci Documentary", and suddenly I thought, my concert next year will be Not to be able to make a documentary.”

When Simon heard the words, he immediately thought of Madonna's music documentary "Sleeping with Madonna".

In memory, Madonna's musical documentary based on her 'Blonde Ambitious' global tour in 1990 grossed close to $30 million worldwide for less than $5 million, more than Michael Jackson's 1985 hit. The same type of "Shadow Dancer" is much more successful.

However, knowing that the woman beside him is actually very shrewd, Simon did not immediately show any interest, just said: ""Gucci Documentary" is mainly used for brand promotion, what do you do with documentaries?"

"Maybe it will be a big sale," Madonna suddenly became interested and calculated directly: "The budget for such a documentary should not be too high, a few million is enough. Besides, it's not just me, there will be many by then. Friends will show up, especially Simon Westeros, which is very rare. So in the future, even if Jackson's "Shadow Dancer" can't enter the theater and sell it through videotape distribution and TV broadcast, Earning back the cost should be no problem.”

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

Simon noticed the faint temptation in Madonna's eyes, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, you can make it yourself, and Daenerys Entertainment can help distribute it, and maybe you can make a lot of money."

Madonna can take the money now, but she is very clear about the absolute rule in this circle that never use your own money to invest in movies.

Seeing that Simon was indifferent, Madonna tried again unwillingly: "Then I will find another film company to cooperate?"

Now in Hollywood, who does not know Simon Westeros vision. If the little man beside her is interested in her idea of ​​a documentary, no matter whether the documentary can really succeed in the future, she can use it as a bargaining chip to fight for more benefits for herself.

Simon just shrugged, and was about to say something when a group of tall and beautiful stunners walked towards them with a smile. They were the models for this show.

Michael Jackson's "Shadow Dancer" didn't make any splashes. Simon didn't believe how many people would be interested in Madonna's music documentary, so he planned to hang up the woman first and pretend to be Cindy Crawford who came over. People caught the eye and took the initiative to say hello: "Cindy, are you all done?"

"Take a break for a while, and I have to take pictures in the afternoon," Cindy Crawford said, just nodding at Madonna casually, and sat down on the other side of Simon very rudely, looking for something to say

:"What are you talking about?"

Simon responded casually, and models such as Paulina Preskova, Helena Christensen, and Stephanie Seymour greeted Simon and sat down around this round table. Madonna saw that Simon was completely attracted by a group of goblins, and she didn't stay any more to make fun of it, and took the initiative to get up and go to the other place.

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

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

Carla Bruni was stunned for a moment, and said in Italian: "Hello, Mr. Westeros, your Italian accent seems to be more standard than mine."

Simon smiled: "How is it possible, aren't you Italian?"

Carla Bruni took the coffee from the waiter and said, "I immigrated to France with my family when I was 5 years old."

Simon waved 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 immigrate to France, the Bruni family seems to be very prominent in Italy."

"In those years, the security in Italy was getting worse and worse, and the family was worried about being kidnapped, so they had to emigrate," Carla Bruni said, and then said to Simon: "Mr. Westeros, if you stay here for a long time, Longer, try to be careful."

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

Stephanie Seymour on the sofa next to her saw that the two had been talking in Italian, and interjected dissatisfiedly: "Simon, Carla, what are you talking about, no one understands."

"Speaking of the Mafia, be careful in Milan these days."

Stephanie Seymour wasn't ignorant about it, saying, "We're not some of those new models."

After chatting like this, the time soon reached 11 o'clock, and the staff began to remind everyone to rush to a nearby hotel, where the luncheon will be held.

When Carla Bruni got up, she graciously gave Simon a business card, hoping to talk again when she had time.

Simon had no idea about the woman known as the 'Monster Eater', which didn't fit his aesthetic, but put away the business card anyway.

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

Newspaper articles, magazine features and TV interviews about the Gucci show were quickly spread in the media of various countries. Although some newspapers and magazines inevitably criticized the fashion design style of Gucci's show and even the new season as being too commercial, the overall However, the trend of public opinion is clearly in the positive direction.

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

Until the opening of Paris Fashion Week, the discussion about Gucci in the media was gradually diverted by the major luxury brands in France, while the local Italian brands such as Prada and Armani were completely suppressed by Gucci.

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

First, I flew to Rome to meet Giuseppe Tonadore, who was making the final preparations for "Family Journey," and attended some Italian film circle parties.

In the 1970s, because of the rise of the Italian gang in Hollywood, Italian filmmakers really enjoyed a few years in Hollywood.

However, this kind of scenery disappeared with the failure of a series of European directors in Hollywood. However, as the world film center, Italian filmmakers still have an instinctive yearning for Hollywood. Simon, a young Hollywood tycoon who has risen rapidly in recent years, is naturally warmly received by the Italian film circle.

Failing to find a suitable place to live in Rome when they bought the property, Simon and Janet only spent three days in the city before heading to Florence.

With multiple identities such as the new richest man in the United States and a Hollywood media tycoon, Simon's trip to Italy has attracted the attention of 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 always been the target of the Italian paparazzi. He traveled to the three most important cities in Italy in a row, and inevitably said a few beautiful words when he was questioned by the media. Simon quickly became the target of this country in the Italian media. A very nice American billionaire.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for potential concerns about security issues, Simon did have a good impression of Italy, a country with a rich cultural heritage.

Just the second day after leaving Milan, Simon's mansion by Lake Como suffered an attempted break-in because of the exposure of local newspapers.

All of Simon's residences in Europe were equipped with alarm systems, and the intruder was found just after climbing over the fence. The Milan police promptly arrested a group of five criminal gangs with obvious gang backgrounds. The private house of such an influential public figure as Simon was broken into, and it would definitely affect the image of the city of Milan. The Milan government sent people to lobby soon after the incident, hoping that Simon would keep quiet about it.

Since he didn't suffer any losses, Simon naturally wouldn't make a fuss.

However, Simon then handed Sofia a media PR task to avoid the exposure of his mansions across Europe as much as possible, and also considered continuing to upgrade or specifically develop a more rigorous residential monitoring and alarm system. As a guy with a strong sense of territory like a lion, Simon doesn't care about these living conditions.

The possible financial loss of his house being broken into, but the very fact of his private property being broken into made him very, very uncomfortable.

Florence.

Simon's Manor on the southern outskirts of the city, the time is already Thursday, September 28th.

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

After a day's work, Sophia drove here at six o'clock in the afternoon, asked the bodyguard in the front yard, and walked around the villa to the backyard.

On the lawn under the setting sun, Simon and Janet were standing together at a long table covered with various documents and discussing something in a low voice, with Jennifer beside them. Seeing Sophia appear, the two stopped talking, and everyone greeted them. Sophia pretended to glance at the documents on the desktop unintentionally, and saw a document with the title of 'Columbia Savings and Credit Bank Bond Asset Risk Assessment', and she was interested. look back.

Simon didn't shy away, and said to Sophia: "These can't be shown to you, let's go to the living room."

Sophia responded with a smile and followed Simon into the villa.

The two sat down on the sofa in the living room, and Simon remembered something and asked, "What happened to Sabina Freili over there in "Journey to the Family", you two became good friends?"

Sofia took out some documents from the bag she brought, and heard the words: "Sabina's father is an official of the Milan city government. We can get the factory in the eastern suburbs to hold the catwalk, and the other party has helped a lot. ."

Simon nodded and asked no more.

It is impossible to do business in any country without dealing with the government, and it is even more impossible to expand the business without establishing a closer relationship with the local government. His own female executives are obviously very familiar with this, and Simon does not intend to bother to pay too much attention.

Sophia also didn't say much, but handed the documents out of the bag to Simon, saying: "This is Gucci's business status and financial data in recent months, as well as several project plans."

Simon took it over, flipped open a document, and said, "Why do you suddenly let me see these?"

Sophia said: "Judging from Gucci's recent operating conditions, this year's revenue data should exceed 350 million US dollars, a substantial increase of 35% compared with last year's 260 million US dollars in annual revenue. However, this is in competition with Dior and Chanel. There is still a big gap between rivals, Dior's revenue last year was as high as 830 million US dollars, and its net profit was 120 million US dollars."

Simon hummed, waiting for Sophia to continue.

Sofia paused for a while, then continued: "Fortunately, Gucci has recovered very quickly in recent months. My expectation for this company is that its revenue data will exceed 600 million US dollars next year, and it will surpass Dior in 1991. I want to To achieve this goal, we must continue to expand the scale of Gucci. The project plan in your hands includes plans to acquire workshops, refurbishment and employee training plans for Gucci stores worldwide, and a fourth quarter of this year. And next year's marketing budget. Simon, if you agree, Gucci won't keep any profits for the next two years, and I plan to use all the funds for the company's expansion, and again if necessary. Loan financing."
