537: Chapter 537 Rise to Fame in Japan! An Inspection of Sihua Clothing Company!
"She is absolutely stunning!"
"This is our model from Huaxia, named An Xinlei!"
Su Yang snapped back to reality and saw two comments scroll by.
He rewound and watched it again, feeling that An Xinlei's performance was actually quite good.
After chatting with Xu Fei on wechat, he learned that Xu Xiaoran had already coordinated with the Japanese media, and a few outlets would be reporting on An Xinlei.
However, Xu Fei felt that An Xinlei should be quite popular.
Her friends in the Japanese fashion circle were present at the time and were quite optimistic about An Xinlei.
She should have opportunities to perform on stage in Japan again in the future.
Xu Xiaoran also said that the media outlets she contacted were equally optimistic about An Xinlei.
They believed she was exactly the style that Japan likes, and the audience present cheered for her!
Although she wasn't as good as those famous Japanese models, for a newcomer, it was already commendable.
Not long after, An Xinlei also called Su Yang and asked if he had watched the runway show.
Su Yang smiled and complimented her, saying that she would definitely be popular in Japan!
An Xinlei didn't take it to heart, just assuming Su Yang was coaxing her!
After all, Su Yang would occasionally say things that made her heart bloom.
The morning after An Xinlei finished the runway show, just as Su Yang sat down in his office at around 9:10 AM, he received a call from Xu Fei:
"Boss! Boss! It seems like An Xinlei has become a hit in Japan!"
Su Yang said calmly, "What do you mean?"
He knew An Xinlei would be popular in Japan, but he didn't know the specific situation!
Hearing the calmness in Su Yang's tone, Xu Fei quickly calmed down as well: "Many Japanese media outlets have reported on An Xinlei, saying she is the Nana Komatsu of Huaxia!"
"That's alright, I guess!"
This title was a bit annoying!
Their styles were indeed similar, but there was still a difference in their looks, right?
However, with the title of the Nana Komatsu of Huaxia, An Xinlei's development in Japan would surely be a bit smoother!
The Sweetheart Cult Leader also went by the title of Little Jolin Tsai when she debuted back then.
Besides, the mouths were on the faces of the Japanese media, and Su Yang couldn't control that!
"My friend's modeling agency wants to sign An Xinlei!"
"In Japan?"
"Yeah!"
"Is it legitimate?"
"Of course it's legitimate!" Xu Fei said with a smile, "In the future, she can help An Xinlei take on business in Japan, and she can also recommend An Xinlei for Fashion Week!"
Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "I'm quite in favor of it, but we need to see what An Xinlei thinks!"
If An Xinlei could get on famous Japanese runways and make a name for herself in Japan, things would be completely different when she returned to Huaxia!
Young female celebrities who can make a name for themselves overseas are still very rare!
Blooming outside the wall and smelling fragrant inside the wall—that is completely manageable.
An Xinlei's own appearance is very distinctive, quite aggressive.
It's a completely different type from the currently popular 'little white flower' style in the country!
There are very few roles suitable for her, which will lead to a narrow acting path.
If she goes into ancient idol dramas or modern idol dramas, she can probably only play those female villains who turn evil because of love.
This is actually detrimental to her development.
It's very difficult to tailor something for her; that would require a burst of inspiration from those screenwriters!
Xu Fei asked in a low voice, "Then, Boss, should I ask her?"
"Alright!"
After hanging up with Xu Fei, Su Yang called An Xinlei and told her about Xu Fei's suggestion.
An Xinlei hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.
She was still very clear about the disadvantages of her appearance, which was somewhat out of place in the current domestic entertainment industry!
Those who were close to her type only became famous after their thirties... they were all acting powerhouses!
Having finally had a chance to become famous in Japan, she didn't want to give up this opportunity!
"Thank you, Boss!"
"Hm?" Su Yang paused and laughed, "You're welcome, after all, you still have to make money for me!"
This sentence from Su Yang made most of the gratitude in An Xinlei's heart disappear.
An Xinlei retorted, "Japanese stars don't really make much money!"
"Hahaha... I don't care about that little money; you just develop well, go prove yourself, and realize your dreams!"
"Yeah!"
Hearing Su Yang's words, An Xinlei's nose felt a bit sore!
People around her didn't believe she could succeed, including her family.
Only the boss appreciated her, consistently supported her, and even spent so much money to bribe the media to build momentum for her!
Now, she finally seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
Su Yang's voice was gentle, "If you need anything, tell me. Don't keep everything inside; I will help you!"
"Yeah!" An Xinlei's voice was slightly hoarse as she said, "Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
"Boss, I miss you a little!"
"Use your hand yourself, do I need to teach you that?"
"Ah~"
An Xinlei had finally been moved to the point of a sore nose, and tears were about to fall.
As a result, her emotions were completely disrupted by Su Yang again!
After finishing the call with Su Yang, she lay on the bed, wiping away tears while laughing... and then felt her face burning!
She even felt that her spirit was a bit abnormal!
Su Yang arrived at Sihua Clothing in the afternoon, accompanied by Yi Jiangang and Cheng Wenhuo.
The boss of Sihua Clothing, Liu Sihua, received him personally.
Liu Sihua was in his forties, about 1.75 meters tall, wore glasses, was tall and thin, had a sallow complexion, deep nasolabial folds, and looked a bit haggard.
He was wearing relatively ordinary jeans and a striped T-shirt, and when he saw Su Yang, he lowered his head slightly to reveal a smile.
Su Yang walked around the company, had a cup of tea in Liu Sihua's office, and then visited the Sihua Clothing factory to get a rough understanding of the factory's situation.
The overall compensation was the average for Rongcheng clothing factories, with salaries ranging from 4,000 to 7,000.
However, worker wages were all calculated by piece.
The clothing company's office space and factory buildings were rented, and there was a debt of 7 million.
The clothing company's brand value was not high; after all, for a long time, Sihua had mainly focused on women's clothing. There were a few domestic men's clothing brands, but women's clothing brands had always been hard to get off the ground!
What made Sihua slightly valuable was probably its relatively new equipment and technology.
After all, it was an OEM for two sports brand companies.
Cheng Wenhuo believed that given Sihua's current annual profit of a few hundred thousand, plus that equipment, and the fierce market competition, 10 million was definitely a bit expensive!
If it weren't for Spark Fitness, he was personally not optimistic about the clothing company at all, especially women's clothing.
Su Yang didn't really care; Sihua could also make sports brands or men's clothing!
It's not like they didn't have the technology!
"General Manager Su, what do you think?"
"It's still a bit expensive!"
"Then two million!" Liu Sihua said with a bitter face, "It really can't be any lower!"
"That's fine!"
Su Yang thought for a moment and nodded.
Even if Liu Sihua lowered the price further, it wouldn't be by much.
He felt it was a loss to have his Mergers and Acquisitions Department employees stuck here for a few hundred thousand!
It would be better to buy it early; they could earn it back quickly through employee salary and benefit returns.
Liu Sihua finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, General Manager Su!"
After Su Yang and Liu Sihua reached an agreement, the acquisition was basically settled.
After returning to the company, Su Yang checked with Chizhu Wine Industry about recent wine sales and also inquired about Chizhu Wine Industry's purchase of a production line.
Chizhu Wine Industry certainly couldn't just produce those few types of wine!
As for sales from distributors, recently distributors reported that after "chizhu" was designated as the wine for receiving foreign guests at the Universiade, their goods were indeed easier to sell.
After all, this counted as official certification, and people in the country tended to trust that!
Those distributors directly said, this wine is used by the officials to entertain foreign guests, how could it not be good?
However, it would still take some time to digest the inventory they had on hand!
