For the generation of Chinese who were born in the 1960s and 1970s and grew up after the reform and opening up, Pierre Carton is definitely a famous and unusual name.
Because this is the first international clothing brand to enter the Chinese mainland market after the reform and opening up.
It was once synonymous with top high-end fashion in the minds of Chinese people.
You know, as early as when Western society as a whole was skeptical about my country's reform and opening up.
It was Mr. Pierre Carton, who was born in Italy but became famous in France, who first foresaw the huge market potential contained in our country.
With the dream of selling at least one button to every Chinese citizen, he went to the mainland to develop the market.
At that time, the Republic was still a land of blue, green and gray, sowing colorful colors.
This is how our Chinese people understand what individuality and innovation are.
I have experienced the charm of noble, generous and elegant fashion.
So it can be said that Pierre Carton is the enlightener who opened the door to international fashion for our people.
Of course, he also enjoyed huge business dividends.
From the 1980s to the 1990s, nearly twenty years.
Within the territory of the Republic, the word Pierre Carton is closely associated with French romance and luxury.
The clothing brand represented by this word has become an unparalleled supreme trump card.
People in the capital, especially, generally believed at that time that only those who could wear a set of "Pierre Cardon" would be worthy of themselves in this life.
In addition, for the entire world, the name Pierre Carton represents a unique legend!
This is not only due to his entrepreneurial experience of starting from scratch and becoming the world's top fashion master.
It’s not just that he has won the highest honor of French fashion design, the Golden Thimble Award, three times.
What's more, he uses it to make fashion popular.
The reason is that through a fundamental commercial revolution, he forced French high-end fashion to step off the noble T-stage.
So frankly speaking, after entering the new century, although the glory of the Pierre Carton brand is no longer there.
The brand was beginning to fade, both globally and within the Republic.
Even most consumers of the new generation know nothing about this brand.
But no matter how ruthless time is, this brand once led the international fashion trend.
After all, it has left a strong mark in the history of history.
In the history of world clothing development, it has created irreplaceable achievements.
Like the older successful people Ning Weimin knows.
Often when talking about his glory and dreams back then, Pierre Carton becomes an unavoidable term.
It is enough to prove that these people have an emotional attachment to this brand that is difficult to let go.
From Ning Weimin's personal perspective, he does not have any special emotional attachment to this clothing brand.
When he grew up in his previous life, the legend of Pierre Carton had already ended.
But for the master Pierre Carton himself, he must have higher respect and more gratitude.
If nothing else, the key to his own success lies in the inspiration he received from reading Pierre Cardin's personal biography.
You know, Pierre Carton is not only a master of fashion design, but also a true business wizard.
This old man is the founder of the contemporary franchise model and is known as the "King of Licensed Business" in the world business community.
The trademark named after him was abbreviated as "pc", but he never hesitated to share the dividends of this trademark with others.
He is very willing to let more collaborators jointly profit by promoting his brand.
Even when it comes to trademark authorization, we never care about what type of product it is.
As a result, the influence of the "pc" trademark does not stop at the clothing industry.
The name Pierre Carton has traveled across the ocean and around the world, settling and staying in every corner.
By the 1990s, in more than 120 countries and regions, 200,000 people were producing more than 800 different patented products authorized by Pierre Carton in more than 600 factories every day.
Japanese people ride PC brand bicycles, German stores sell PC brand curtain rods, Switzerland has PC brand cigarettes, South Korea has PC brand cosmetics, our republic has PC brand children's toys and bedding, and PC brand appears on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City.
red high heels.
Some people argue that Pierre Carton is devaluing himself by allowing Taipei to use his name to produce key chains and cheap travel bags.
But Pierre Carton himself refuted it quite proudly.
"So what? Not only did I make a lot of money, but products using the Kadon brand can meet all my needs. I can sleep on Kadon beds, sit on Kadon soft chairs, and dine in the restaurant I designed.
You can dine there, use my lamps for lighting, or even go to the theater to watch a play or visit an exhibition, without leaving my kingdom."
All in all, it was through the master’s business philosophy that Ning Weimin understood the importance of sharing and win-win results.
I understand that as long as you can benefit from others, you should not care about the other person making more money than you, but should work hard to increase such partners.
For this reason, he defines his company as a platform for everyone to make money together.
The distribution system in which employees get the lion's share has attracted a large number of outstanding salesmen.
Finally, he fought his way through the relatively saturated business world and owned his own territory.
Therefore, it can be said that it was Pierre Carton who achieved Ning Weimin's career in his previous life and allowed him to live a life of ample food and clothing.
In this way, when the "Pierre Carton" trademark is verified on those clothes.
It is completely confirmed that there is no misunderstanding in transliteration.
The person in front of him was the costume master he thought he was.
So one can imagine how Ning Weimin felt in his heart.
To use Stephen Chow's words in "The Deer and the Cauldron" to describe it, I'm afraid it couldn't be more appropriate.
The admiration for the master is like an endless river, and like the Yellow River overflowing, it can be out of control.
At this time, even out of gratitude and excitement to see the master in person.
Ning Weimin will also fully satisfy Pierre Carton's requirements. How can there be any more resentment and dissatisfaction?
What's more, Pierre Carton later expressed his admiration for the ancient Eastern civilization.
He explained that this was his second time in the Republic.
The purpose is to use Oriental silk to design some clothing, hoping to help the Republic earn foreign exchange from exports and improve the quality of silk trade.
From an official perspective, Ning Weimin has no excuse for not cooperating.
After all, he is a citizen of the Republic and knows that what the country needs most now is foreign exchange.
It's just a matter of not catching up, since it was a coincidence that I caught up with him.
If I don't cooperate as much as I can, I won't be able to justify it in my heart.
So his attitude changed drastically, he enthusiastically announced his name and shook hands with the master.
When Pierre Carton asked again, "You can walk again...", he complied without hesitation.
She even tried to recall the gait of male models in fashion shows she had seen.
Relax, be calm, keep your eyes straight, take your time...
Ning Weimin's serious investment this time was indeed praised by Pierre Carton.
"Great, your gait is natural, very natural. How about putting on a pair of white pants?"
Ning Weimin nodded and obeyed, and quickly changed his clothes.
And he also picked up a white coat, naturally put it on his shoulders, and walked around a few times again.
So this time his performance was not only praised, but also heartily applauded by Pierre Carton.
"Oh, I have to say, you are the most talented person I have ever seen in your country. Your shoulders are stable, your walking dynamics are full of beauty, and you are not as stiff as others at all. It's great! It's really great.
Got it!"
Then Pierre Carton put forward his needs with Western bluntness.
"Young man, are you willing to work for me? For three months. If you are willing, I can pay you a total of one thousand yuan in 'new money' as a reward. Of course, your job is not just walking. I also have an assistant.
My name is Song. She has too many things to be responsible for. I need you to assist her and handle some things like clothing model performances and training..."
At 5:30 in the afternoon, when Ning Weimin walked out of the Capital Hotel again, he had become a temporary employee of Pierre Carton.
As for what he gained today, in addition to a temporary part-time job, the foreign exchange coupons that were exchanged as promised, there was also a shirt and a pair of trousers given to him by Pierre Cardin.
It should be said that this old man is really not stingy.
Maybe it's because he's an Italian. His "fascist" style is fake and shoddy, and he's not really stingy.
Therefore, he is also very willing to seriously perform the urgent tasks assigned by the boss.
Find as many beautiful young men and women as possible for him and bring them to the Drum Tower Auditorium tomorrow for them to choose from.
To be honest, this request is not difficult for him.
Because he only needs to go to work and talk to his colleagues at the Chongwenmen Hotel.
I'm sure I can persuade a few.
So he didn't plan to go home at the moment, and wanted to rush directly to Chongwenmen Hotel.
Unexpectedly, he would still be in the limelight along the way.
Perhaps the clothes Pierre Carton gave him were too eye-catching, so many people paid him attention and kept staring at him.
It's as if he is wondering whether he is a real overseas Chinese or a fake overseas Chinese. Why is he still crowded on the bus?
Especially when I got off the car at the entrance of Dongdan Stadium and reversed.
When he was at the roadside station.
A young girl dressed fashionably kept staring at him and smiling, seemingly completely fascinated by his stature and handsomeness.
This made him feel a little elated and a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help but walk around in circles a few times.
Unexpectedly, the girl smiled even more charmingly.
As a result, he began to think that the girl was generous beyond her times.
Maybe you really like him, and you may take the initiative to strike up a conversation with him.
An aunt on the side used cruel truth to destroy his self-confidence and the good feeling he had maintained until now.
"I said, young man, look under your feet. Don't step on the shit, okay?"
