Julie smiled and said with a relaxed and confident tone, "My dream is to establish my own fashion design studio and create my own brand. I might not accept the invitation from a fashion company!"
Evelyn exclaimed in surprise, "Julie, really? You're going to set up your own studio? Oh, my God!"
Julie nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, dear Evelyn! I'm already preparing for it. I think it won't be long before you see my fashion brand come to life! When the time comes, come and congratulate me!"
Evelyn nodded repeatedly and said, "Definitely, Julie, you must let me help! Please!"
Julie nodded and said with a smile, "Of course! I won't forget my good friend!"
Lin Qiangsheng approached with a smile, showing a perfectly timed grin, and suggested to Julie, "If you need a partner, Julie, remember me! I may not know how to design clothes, but I love fashion! I really want to get into this industry! Paris is the capital of fashion! It's my dream too!"
Julie looked at Lin Qiangsheng in surprise and said, "You?!"
Evelyn said in surprise, "Lin, why are you suddenly talking about this!"
Lin Qiangsheng grinned and winked at Julie, saying, "Please consider my suggestion!"
Lin Qiangsheng chuckled to himself. The fashion industry is a massive industry! In the world, the two most profitable businesses are food and women's fashion! Many developing countries in the future will rely on processing and exporting clothing to boost their economies, with annual global clothing trade revenues reaching trillions of dollars!
Such a cash cow, how could he miss it! How could he not take it seriously?! To develop industry, other industries must support it. Any successful large enterprise is a large, diversified group!
Without technology or financial support, how can one develop industry! At least one of them is needed!
It's like a person, one leg is technology, the other leg is money. Without technology, one can still hop on one leg with money. Without money, one can only crawl!
Such a cash cow industry, Lin Qiangsheng felt he should do everything possible to join it! If he entered this industry, what changes could he bring to China's clothing processing industry!
Anyway, he knew that many of the major domestic fashion brands that rose after 2000 had not yet been established. If he wanted to, as long as he had time, he could easily prevent them from ever being born!
Lin Qiangsheng realized that being reborn was the greatest advantage!
Damn it, let's do it! I'll hop on one leg! I'll even jump! I'll jump!
Lin Qiangsheng casually wandered around the hall for a couple of hours, finally coming to the fashion design he had taken a photo of earlier.
The outfit was a long wool coat with a hood. Lin Qiangsheng paid attention not to the coat but to the blue dress inside.
It was a blue mini skirt!
The designer of this outfit was a girl with glasses. She had two braids, and it was clear she had golden hair, with slightly darker roots and tips, not the purest blonde.
The girl was anxiously looking around, hoping a fashion company would be interested in her design. Unfortunately, her design was a bit too avant-garde for conservative Europe. Many representatives from fashion companies glanced at it and shook their heads, walking away.
Lin Qiangsheng stood nearby for nearly half an hour. The girl gave him a few annoyed looks, but Lin Qiangsheng always responded with a smile.
Just as the girl was about to speak, Lin Qiangsheng said first, "Hello! My name is Lin Qiangsheng!"
The girl looked at him seriously and said, "I'm Emma!"
Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said directly, "Hello, Miss Emma! I really admire your fashion design! Do you think I could invest in and register a fashion company, and hire you as the chief designer?"
Emma looked at Lin Qiangsheng in surprise and asked, "What did you say? You want to register a fashion company? Just for my design?"
Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "Yes! I think your design is great!"
Emma's face lit up with joy, and she exclaimed, "You really want to register a company for me?"
Lin Qiangsheng nodded seriously and said, "Yes! I'm willing to establish a fashion company to produce the clothes you design!"
People nearby turned to look at the girl and Lin Qiangsheng in surprise. Emma quickly lowered her voice but couldn't hide her excitement, nodding repeatedly and saying, "That's great, sir! I won't let you down! I'll work hard to become an excellent chief designer!"
Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "Great! I'm not very familiar with this industry. Registering a company, making samples, contacting manufacturers, and all the steps involved, do you know how to handle them?"
Emma nodded and said, "Yes, sir! I've interned at a fashion company! My design was made as a sample and then produced in a factory! Oh, Paris has many small workshop-style factories, and our college has many long-term clients!"
Lin Qiangsheng nodded, understanding this, and asked the girl, "Where are you from?"
Emma said cautiously, "I'm from the United States, sir. Is that a problem? My dream since childhood has been to come to Paris, the capital of fashion, and study at the best fashion design school in the world!"
Lin Qiangsheng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No problem at all! Americans are even better! Better! Ha ha..."
Hearing the Asian man say that Americans were no problem, Emma finally felt relieved. The fashion design industry also values lineage, and students from certain regions in Europe are more favored by fashion companies!
Lin Qiangsheng gave Emma his address and told her to come see him the next morning.
Turning around, he found Evelyn, and the two of them chatted with their good friend Julie for a bit. It was clear that Julie still didn't trust Lin Qiangsheng, especially after learning he was from mainland China. The topic of partnership was no longer mentioned.
On the street, Evelyn seized the opportunity to apologize to Lin Qiangsheng, saying, "I'm very sorry, Lin! I don't know why my good friend Julie treated you like that, I'm sorry!"
Lin Qiangsheng smiled at Evelyn and said, "No, it's fine! It's natural to be suspicious when a stranger suddenly wants to do business. You don't need to apologize, Evelyn."
Evelyn looked at Lin Qiangsheng and asked, "Really? Then let's go take photos at the Eiffel Tower! The Eiffel Tower at night is very charming!"
Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "Sure! My camera is already eager!"
Evelyn widened her eyes and asked, "You said your camera is dead? Oh my God!"
Lin Qiangsheng laughed awkwardly and said, "It's really difficult to say Chinese words in English! This sentence is very funny in Chinese!"
Evelyn laughed and said, "You're a unique Chinese person, Lin!"
Lin Qiangsheng asked, "What do most Chinese people look like to you?"
Evelyn thought for a moment and said, "Most Chinese people have very expressionless faces. When you look at them, they either stare straight at you or turn their heads away! That's how it is!"
Lin Qiangsheng's face showed no expression, and he shrugged helplessly.
Evelyn smiled and said, "Sorry!"
Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "It's fine, you're just stating the facts!"
The two toured the Seine River and the Eiffel Tower. Lin Qiangsheng got the photos of the fully lit Eiffel Tower he wanted.
Lin Qiangsheng generously treated Evelyn to dinner again. This time, Evelyn was no longer awkward and ordered the dishes she liked, as she was really hungry today.
Lin Qiangsheng took Evelyn home, and the girl invited him to sit in her apartment for a while. When Lin Qiangsheng was about to leave, Evelyn casually said, "It's so late, and it's not safe outside. Why don't you stay overnight? Lin!"
Lin Qiangsheng chuckled to himself. He had been in the army and even fought in the Vietnam War. How could he be afraid of a petty thief!
Lin Qiangsheng patted his chest and said, "Don't worry! I can take on anyone!"
At that moment, the sound of police sirens came from the street, "wailing" from near to far and then fading away.
Lin Qiangsheng tilted his head and listened to the sound outside.
Evelyn laughed happily, grabbed Lin Qiangsheng, and pulled him inside!
"Wow! You're so strong!" Lin Qiangsheng exclaimed in surprise.
"Alien!" A scream soon echoed from inside the room.
