Chapter 392: Extraordinary Talent(1/2)
As expected, although Qu Xiao was frightened half to death by her parents' looks, it was just a false alarm.
The resentment her parents showed did not last long.
I only vented for a short while and quickly calmed down under self-control.
As for the reason why they are so tolerant, it is very different from their performance last night. The reasons are nothing more than two points.
Firstly, it is because Ning Weimin has performed very well since he entered the school and has successfully won the favor of Qu Xiao's parents.
Especially after he took the initiative to admit his mistake, Ning Weimin did not defend himself.
He just repeatedly emphasized that he understood the mood of Qu Xiao's parents and deeply regretted his original behavior.
So when Qu Xiao's parents saw his sincerity, they were heartbroken and couldn't bear it.
Even they themselves felt that it would be disrespectful to continue to be so unwilling.
Secondly, as adults, Qu Xiao's parents actually knew very well that it was too late to say anything at this point.
There is absolutely no point in complaining now, the most important thing is to solve the actual problem.
But how to solve it?
They have absolutely no clue at the moment.
The only thing that is certain is that since Ning Weimin is a senior employee of Pierre Carton, he is specifically responsible for negotiating this matter on behalf of the company.
They will inevitably have to continue dealing with him and need his advice and cooperation.
Therefore, from a pragmatic point of view, it is not advisable to push people too hard and make the relationship tense.
All in all, I have to admit that Ning Weimin had a good plan and these steps were well laid out.
Only then could Qu Xiao's parents stay rational and use the greatest degree of restraint and patience to solve the problem.
But so far, Ning Weimin still couldn't get to the point.
Because he still lacked a very important step to gain the true trust of Qu Xiao's parents and create the most favorable situation for him to finally convince them.
What he has to do next is to use easy-to-understand descriptions and try to popularize common knowledge about the clothing modeling industry to Qu Xiao’s parents as concisely as possible.
Let me introduce the establishment of Pierre Carton and its business in the Republic.
And talk about the various situations of Quxiao training and performance in detail.
From the perspective of ordinary people, they may think that this matter is insignificant and that Ning Weimin just took off his pants and farted in a superfluous manner.
But this idea is actually a big mistake.
Because these people must have never realized that the greatest sense of distrust in any negotiation arises precisely from the unequal amount of information.
If the information gap between the two parties is too large, the disadvantaged party will definitely be worried because it is in a disadvantageous situation.
Trying to reach a consensus without finding a way to eliminate this state of affairs is tantamount to wishful thinking.
The party with an information disadvantage will definitely worry that the party with an advantage will take advantage of its ignorance, and will be full of worries and hesitate to move forward.
So how can we possibly reach an agreement?
This comes from Ning Weimin’s experience in his previous life.
When he was working as a postal dealer in his previous life, once the market for postal currency cards was booming, many ordinary people would often come to inquire about the market, wanting to get involved.
But these ordinary people do not have much professional knowledge, and almost all of them are models of greed and cowardice.
As time went on, Ning Weimin gradually mastered the method of dealing with these people, which was to pretend to be a good person and have good intentions.
Take the initiative to reveal small industry insiders to such customers, remind them what they should pay attention to in transactions, and how to avoid traps and losses.
This hand is very useful.
Since he could have kept silent, these people would naturally have a sense of trust because of his "sincerity".
Then when it comes time to pay in the end, who else can you turn to if you don’t turn to him?
To put it bluntly, he is destroying other people's traps, luring prey into his trap, and making others grateful.
In the same way, it is also appropriate to adopt this routine for Qu Xiao’s parents.
If Ning Weimin tells them a lot of relevant information, he can take the initiative to reduce the information gap between the two parties.
You can still successfully win people's trust through this move and achieve the same goal.
So no matter what Qu Xiao’s parents know or don’t know, no matter what they want to know or what they don’t want to know.
The people of Ningwei knew everything and told them everything.
Even just saying it, he also provides verifiable methods and evidence.
For example, he brought some foreign pictorials from the Zhai Palace.
Show Qu Xiao’s parents the style of foreign models and the attire of foreign high society.
At the same time, he also told them about the four major international fashion weeks and the high income of the world's top models.
As well as the trend of younger and younger people in the modeling industry, and fierce competition in this industry abroad.
Ning Weimin also brought some domestic official media newspapers and reference news distributed nationwide.
Pointing to the relevant news above, Qu Xiao’s parents understood the importance the country attaches to Pierre Carton’s investment in China.
Let them see how the clothing models were positively recognized and evaluated by the official media, and what a sensational effect it caused among the people.
And by the way, it explains the many prejudices and misunderstandings in society.
Ning Weimin even brought a photo of Qu Xiao and the nationally famous female leader of the Ministry of Textiles.
Let Qu Xiao's parents know what an amazing role their daughter has played in international trade.
And how much he is loved and valued by a big leader whose name is often on "News Network".
Ning Weimin also brought a group photo of the original model team members, backstage photos, and photos of the celebration party.
Point out to Qu Xiao's parents one by one, which one is an athlete, which one has been an actor, and which one is a college student.
None of them used to have very low self-esteem because they were too tall.
Who used to be unable to find a partner because of a poor family background or a poor job.
But now their lives are completely different. Everyone has become confident and beautiful, and they all have boyfriends with very good conditions.
Others had to quit the modeling industry because they were too old and of average height, and were replaced by newcomers.
Then he started talking about the other side of the glamorous lives of models.
For example, before going on stage, you have to undergo rigorous training and what kind of price you have to pay.
For another example, in order to stay in shape, I have to stay away from sweets, avoid greasy food, and exercise strict dietary restraint.
And after almost every performance, the model's feet will be injured...
In this way, everything is explained in detail.
So in the eye-opening information, Ning Weimin achieved his goal subtly and unnoticed by others.
By this time, there was actually no need for him to explicitly defend or deliberately beautify anything.
These facts alone were enough to arouse Quxiao's parents to be moved and think about it, causing them to start weighing the pros and cons.
At least they've learned a few important points.
This industry is conducive to national construction, this industry is glamorous, and its development prospects are promising.
Moreover, this industry also requires talent and hard work, and it is not as simple as it seems.
Not everyone can do it if they want to, and not everyone can become famous for it.
The most important thing is that this profession is by no means a depravity that entertains people with sex, but an inspirer and leader that makes people become more and more beautiful.
Although most people still don't know or understand it.
But being a fashion model is definitely an upright act, which is beneficial to the country and society.
As for the problem of over-revealing clothing, it is just a rare and accidental phenomenon and a special situation caused by different national conditions.
Domestic clothing models actually do not need to expose their body to a very large extent, and they are definitely not human models like Pan Yuliang.
Being photographed like this by reporters is also due to lax control and lack of timely communication.
And these issues can be further coordinated and improved...
In this way, when all this information was fully displayed, Ning Weimin was completely ready to launch the final verbal charge.
"Uncle, aunt, let me digress. I would like to ask, do you think Chen Jingrun and Nie Weiping are great people? Can they be called the national idols of our republic in the new era?"
"Of course, his contributions and achievements are obvious to all. Chen Jingrun's Goldbach's conjecture caused a sensation in the mathematics community. Nie Weiping, as the main player who defeated the Japanese team this year, was awarded the highest rank in Go-Ninth Dan, which is also his name.
In fact, they are all amazing."
"Is there still any doubt about this? Their deeds have been publicized in newspapers for a long time. Haven't various units and schools organized studies?"
Qu Xiao's parents all answered without thinking.
Ning Weimin asked again, "Okay, then I would like to ask again, if possible. Do you hope that your daughter will become such an amazing person? Or do you hope that she will be willing to work at the front desk of the Chongwenmen Hotel forever and live a mediocre life?"
To be continued...
