[150] Show it off 2
“First of all, please explain the entire flow. Let me get some concepts.”
“okay. First of all, among the products of this year’s S/S season, choose the ones that will be the main focus. When the selection is complete, we request samples to be displayed.”
“Until there, I understood.”
My aunt looked a little excited.
Things to do in the future come to mind. And he is even sure that the process will move according to his will. It is the most exciting and enjoyable moment when working.
“When the samples arrive, you have to think about the display. Shouldn’t it be possible to organize a flow line that allows you to look into each one in detail and make connected purchases possible?”
“Connect purchase?”
“okay. When I buy a hat, I want matching earrings, and when I buy earrings, my eyes are drawn to the necklace. If you buy a pretty necklace, wear a dress with a low neck and high heels that go well with the dress. You’re saying this.”
“Isn’t it just a matter of hanging it all over the mannequin?”
“It’s a ready-made product or something like that. We VIP bitches are picky. You have to choose each one yourself. Mannequins feel forced.”
“It’s tricky. really.”
It’s not because my innate personality is picky. The overflowing money is pompous to the personality. I am special!
“Only those who stand next to me.”
If you are a woman comparable to your aunt, women from chaebol families are obvious. There is absolutely no way they will accept the setting recommended by their aunt. Because it’s a fight for pride.
“Are you going home?”
“okay. If you go on the promised date and display according to the customer’s taste, those bitches will choose. As a customer, I can say they are the best. Everyone buys several of the same thing. I leave them at home, and I leave them in European villas and New York apartments. It’s annoying to carry around secretly when I go on a trip.”
I know even here.
“Ah, do you want to go this time? okay. That would be good.”
Suddenly, my aunt clapped her hands and lifted me up. Then, after checking my appearance again as I turned around, I smiled broadly.
“The grandson of Chairman Sunyang, and also the son of a movie star and the president of a production company. A young 3-year-old with a star-like appearance. This is great.”
“Why am I going?”
“You just go and say hello. The rest will be taken care of by the experts. Those girls can’t stay still when they see you. The handsome and young 3-year-old is watching from the side, but do you think hesitating? I’m going to buy a lot. That’s the only thing I can offer you.”
It was uncomfortable because I felt like a bait, but I got acquainted with them and increased sales. It’s also something I have to do as a responsible person.
“So what.”
“I am surprised. They say they are doing it gently…”
“We have to increase sales. Let’s set a record. haha.”
As I smiled casually, my aunt’s eyes changed.
There is not a single one of my nieces and nephews who wants to increase sales by selling laughter. I hate the work itself, but if I have to crouch down, everyone will scream and refuse.
I would have looked differently if I didn’t mind bending over.
“So what if we finish the first round like that?”
“Do you know who the Chef Luxembourg I was talking about is?”
“no. I was curious about that too.”
“It’s a restaurant on Rue Luxembourg in Paris. famous chef. That person brings the staff. Take a chartered flight.”
“That charter plane?”
“okay. All the ingredients are loaded on the charter plane. And display new products at the hotel banquet hall and gather 100 people who received invitations.”
A dinner for 100 people and an expensive luxury exhibition. Was it like this?
“Especially, the tables, tablecloths, chairs, plates, forks, and knives are all airlifted. That, too, is a product display.”
“Who are those 100 people?”
“A rich man with a small house.”
“yes? How can a rich man have a small house?”
“It’s a living room and a house that are too big to display dozens of clothes and miscellaneous goods. And they are also people who look at chaebol families with envy.”
“So you listen to your aunt’s proposal very carefully and accept it? Are you a wannabe?”
“That’s right. The display in the hotel banquet hall is my taste, right? If I explain it myself, most people will listen.”
“And it has another effect.”
“What is it?”
“Envy and competition.”
scary. What are women You are fighting a tight fight even in shopping.
“100 people look at each other and keep them in check. Whoever makes the most reservations here is the final winner. It resembles the atmosphere of an auction house.”
It suddenly feels creepy. Isn’t this inducing infinite competition at all?
“If you have time, come and have a look. The bloody, madness of people who hate losing more than dying. That is evident through shopping.”
I must see it. Isn’t it a scene where primal desire is revealed?
“great. Be sure to go and see it. By the way, aunt. Isn’t this just one way to sell stuff? How does this lead shopping?”
“Because boutiques are where they usually go, they influence designers. Everyone is a VIP customer. I have no choice but to adapt to my tastes. It spreads down again.”
Are you seeing the effect of falling water in a place like this? Isn’t it the concentric circle effect?
“Then how do you connect with duty free shops? You know very well that the important thing is that we are selected for duty free shops in Incheon Airport and downtown Seoul, right?”
“of course. What kind of people are the 100 people I picked? They are all people who boast that they put a little bit of effort into each field. When this event is over and the products you reserved are delivered to your home, you are giving them a sneak peek. When they come together, it will be a great power.”
They said that the greatest power is to ask for from the head of the pillow…
“Do-Jun-ah.”
“yes.”
My aunt said with an extremely serious expression.
“You have been ignoring this side too much. It might look cheesy. But the shallows hold the power of this country. You, like me, have to relate to them. So, you have to use that power.”
Why is my aunt suddenly like this?
It is obvious that the more power I have, the more disadvantaged I will be.
My aunt smiled as she saw me looking at her with suspicious eyes.
“Don’t be on your guard. You said the two of us are allies until we reach our destination. I don’t know what the end will be, but I decided to follow your words. The fact that I didn’t say a word about your real face to my brothers is proof of that.”
haven’t you given up yet?
But I’m not too wary of anything.
Didn’t Mike Tyson say that? Everyone has plausible powers until they get hit.
No matter what plan my aunt came up with, she would know in the end.
Just walking around department stores and hotels and maintaining a luxurious life is all that can be saved.
* * *
The US Nasdaq Composite Index, which was only 800 five years ago, broke through 4800 when the year 2000 began.
It is to burn the last flame before the end of life splendidly. Just like the stock price of new data technology.
Korea was no exception. The shrewd stockbrokers in Yeouido predicted that the dot-com bubble that would blow up in Korea would burst, and they savagely raised money for the final round.
Due to patriotic marketing by Buy Korea Fund and Park Hyeon-joo Fund, all funds in the market were focused on IT technology stocks, and a concentration of theme stocks occurred.
Many people lost their money because of ventures that had already burst, but, like everyone else, there were still plenty of people who hoped that they would be safe and make a lot of money.
It was a dangerous situation to walk on a blade, but it was a different world to the people I visited today. They always lead a cozy and comfortable life above the clouds, whether the Korean economy is on a rocky or roller coaster ride.
“how is it? isn’t it awesome Is it a complete pictorial?”
100% hand-made suit that takes only 6 weeks.
For one suit, more than 3,000 stitches per stitch for 10 hours, and 186 production processes, including more than 42 times of ironing, are required to make one jacket. This requires more than 30 times more effort and time compared to the production period of ready-to-wear
. Men’s suits cost 50 to 100 times the price.
My aunt and the department store’s chief MD prepared three major Neapolitan suits for me: Cesare Attolini, Brioni, and Kiton.
“The saying that the completion of fashion is a model fits perfectly. How can all three brands go so well together?”
For the time being, the staff who will be moving with me made a fuss to match my aunt.
“I’m going to visit the two houses today, but Do-jun and you only know each other. And you just have to keep an eye on it. The rest will be taken care of by these kids.”
I wasn’t particularly nervous or worried. The place we are going to visit today is a chaebol district without a department store or shopping mall. And the ranking of the business world is far behind Sunyang, so there is no need to try hard to look good.
The purpose is to say hello as my aunt said. It is because it is advantageous to approach having someone you know when entering into a business relationship with them.
“The first is the wife, daughters-in-law and daughters of Ilsung Group. It’s not that picky, so it won’t be uncomfortable.”
“By the way, are there any male customers?”
“Of course there is.”
The staff member I went with smiled.
“Only female employees deal with male customers. You know…”
“If a male employee goes, he’s going to be toxic, right?”
“yes. Maybe he wants to show his superiority.”
“Primates originally constitute hierarchical societies. It means that humans are no different from animals.”
“yes?”
“Oh no.”
I ignored the tilting employee and leaned against the car seat.
It’s the Ilsung Group
.
If done well, there will be another direct line to the president. You won’t even need to put in a new pipe when you’re around Sunyang, but until then it’s useful.
Reaching the peak reminded me once again that I don’t have to do these miscellaneous things.
The car headed for Hannam-dong.
Upon entering the home of the Ilsung Group, the coolly spread lawn caught my eye. A neat garden without grand taste. Reveals the personality of the landlord.
When I opened the front door and entered, the workers came out first, and the hostess was nowhere to be seen.
They didn’t show up even when the department store employees who came with me took out the carefully packaged products one by one and laid them out in the living room.
“Wait a minute, Chief. Insinuating that the manager came in person…”
An employee approached the person who worked in this house and pulled him over as he tried to identify me.
“Leave it. I want to see these people as they normally are.”
He said he wasn’t picky, but that and rudeness were different. The people who do housework only looked at us blankly and showed a low-key attitude that they did not give us a glass of water, saying that we were working hard.
After over an hour of painstakingly finishing the display, someone went up to this floor and informed them.
But it didn’t even show up right away. After another twenty minutes or so, the women’s whispering voices began to be heard.
One grandmother, three middle-aged women, two young women.
When their eyes met, the staff who came with them bowed their backs without saying anything.
I nodded my head lightly, and all their eyes were fixed on me. Since about a dozen people didn’t straighten their backs, I would have noticed me standing there with a blank look.
I smiled lightly without avoiding their eyes, and the grandmother opened her mouth.
“Today an interesting young man has arrived.”
