Chapter 239
By the time I returned to Su Xi, a wave of performances had just ended, and then it was time for the auction. I had never paid attention to the contents of the auction until the set of clothes I wore appeared.
The starting price is 3,000, which is basically a standard price for a fashion design of this level. Besides, this is a complete set.
However, prices soon soared with unimaginable momentum.
The price was immediately doubled to 6,000, and in the blink of an eye it was 10,000, and then 20,000... Then the quotation speed quickly failed to keep up with everyone's demand, and the organizer had to change to a free quotation format. At this time The price immediately rose to 100,000, then 300,000, 500,000, and then directly to 1 million, and finally it was sold for 2.1 million...
Someone paid so much money for such a set of clothes. Are these people attending the charity party going crazy because of their money?
I said to Su Xi in surprise: "Isn't this price too exaggerated? If you weren't right next to me, I would even think that you raised the price."
After hearing this, Su Xi smiled bitterly and said, "You usually participate in modeling shows, and don't you get a set of clothes that you wear? And this outfit is not better than my godmother's design, so I will give you flowers if I have nothing to do." Aren’t we going to scold you again for this unjust money?”
That's true, but who is the one who took advantage of more than two million yuan? I really wanted to see it, but unfortunately the lights were too dim. Each table was only illuminated by candlelight, so it was difficult for me to find out who was bidding.
Just when Su Xi and I started eating and drinking again, Aunt Song returned to our table and told me with a smile: "This time I finally taught that annoying organizer a lesson, so that he wouldn't do it in the first place." Listen to me, Hao Siyu, you are very adaptable now, you are worthy of me taking you to performances all day long."
"Yes, yes, this is really your guidance. But since you don't like this organizer, why don't you just reject him? Why did you agree to him in the first place?"
“You don’t know this. Although I am unhappy with this organizer, the designer is one of my apprentices. Although he still lacks some experience, I have to help him out of honor.”
Judging from Aunt Song’s sense of loyalty, it’s understandable that she would do this. But at this point, I really want to see what the organizer looks like. After all, it’s rare to find someone who can be so annoying to Aunt Song.
"But you probably didn't even expect such a high price, right? Aunt Song. With such achievements, your apprentice will probably be very successful in the future."
Aunt Song took a sip of wine without raising her head, and then said: "She? It's still a long way from being ready. Only you can sell it for this price, and it's a charity sale."
"No...none of your designs has sold for more than two million, right? I don't think there is any need to belittle this apprentice so much."
"What are you talking about? How could I lose to her? If nothing else, the outfit you wore when you were the ace for the first time sold for three million euros."
Three million…repaying euros?
Oh my god, I didn’t even know that my performance plus Aunt Song’s design would be so valuable.
"After all, that set of clothes is out of print except for the one I gave you and the ones sold. I didn't want to make too many, but besides that, you have many impressive achievements. I think you should Be more confident in your career.”
I think it’s enough to think that I can sell the clothes I wear for performances for two million, but it’s nothing in front of Aunt Song.
So the boxes of clothes I brought back from the performance stage are worth sky-high, right? Is there more than my deposit?
Although I am not willing to sink to the point of selling the clothes I have worn.
Just when we hadn't chatted for long, the man with gold-rimmed glasses we had seen backstage came to our seats, but his attitude was completely different now. He originally looked down upon me. His expression is now full of apology, as if he owes me hundreds of thousands.
Seemingly noticing my puzzled look, Aunt Song immediately said to me: "I forgot to introduce you just now. This person is the organizer here."
I glanced at him, and it was no wonder that he was disliked in front of Aunt Song. This person simply smelled like copper, and he was wearing all kinds of gold and silver jewelry. It made me worried that this charity donation would be embezzled by this person.
I said to him directly: "Are you the organizer who made my godmother angry? Are you here to ask her about anything?"
I deliberately changed my name to Aunt Song because I already knew what this person wanted to say when she came over.
The gold-rimmed glasses didn’t care about what I said at all. He rubbed his palms and said in a low voice: "I was so disrespectful just now. Please forgive me. You really deserve to be Teacher Song’s disciple. The stage effect just now was so good. Moreover, from one performance, we received more than the total donations received by all models, and it is even comparable to the donations we received from our dinner seats. Since you are so capable, I wonder if you can reward me and cooperate with us for a long time. Go down? Our party is supposed to last for three days..."
This guy originally had this idea, which proves that Aunt Song's point of view has been recognized by him.
However, I could only refuse and said: "I'm sorry, I'm very busy recently and can't agree to your request."
“That’s right, and you can’t afford her price.”
Aunt Song said without even looking at her gold-rimmed glasses.
Actually, this is not a question of money at all, but I don’t have the shame to tell someone I don’t know that I am doing this just for the midterm exam...
Golden Glasses immediately became anxious and said to me: "I will pay you 100,000 yuan for every performance from now on. Do you think that's okay?"
Aunt Song laughed when she heard this, and then told him: "My goddaughter is a world-famous model. The market price for the scene she just appeared on is more than 100,000 yuan. A day's salary in China is at least 50 yuan now." 10,000 yuan, this is a friendly price. If you participate in other fashion shows abroad, it will cost at least 1 million yuan per day.”
I said in surprise: "Aunt Song, please don't open your mouth like a lion. Last time, my remuneration was still 400,000 a day. And this is not a question of money at all, but that I really don't have time."
"Do you think I'm joking? You really don't know how popular you are now? An acquaintance abroad has already offered me a salary of 100 euros a day to invite you to perform another show in Paris, France, and you don't even look at the above How long ago was the last time you performed? Based on the photo albums and endorsements you have released during this period, your price has already doubled, okay?”
“No…one million euros a day is too exaggerated, right?”
"Isn't it because you always don't come out to perform? It's so difficult for you to come out for one day, let alone perform for seven consecutive days abroad. When the thing you are busy with is over, remember to come and see me. Let's discuss it. Regarding this performance, the designer this time is different from others. He is an old friend of mine, and since he can be so generous, it would be inappropriate for you not to go. "
Is there really such a thing as daring to love?
I suddenly felt a little sorry for my colleagues and this designer. How could my qualifications be worth so much money?
Although the gold-rimmed glasses did not question Aunt Song's words, she still said distressedly: "After all, this is a charity gala. Isn't it too much to ask for 500,000 yuan in one day?"
"Don't think that I will give you a friendship price. For you, if you want to use my goddaughter, it will cost you at least two million a day."
Seeing that the gold-rimmed glasses were about to be dissuaded by the sky-high asking price, at this moment, Aunt Song suddenly said: "After my goddaughter appeared on the scene, the prices of other costumes sold later also increased by five. Times to ten times.”
“I’ll offer three million! Please let her star!”
Golden Glasses immediately changed his mind.
This guy is also crazy. This is China. Three million appearance fees are already a commission that only top fashion shows can afford. This guy actually wants to pay this commission at a charity show...
However, Aunt Song didn't ask me at all, and just said: "Didn't you hear what my goddaughter said? She is very busy and can't participate in your performance. But since you understand the importance of the ace model, please be sure to invite me before starting tomorrow." Come here with a model who can take on the ace position here, otherwise our team will stop cooperating with you. "
Gold-rimmed glasses quickly panicked. Stopping cooperation with big names like Aunt Song was a very serious matter in the fashion industry, especially in this city. Others might not dare to work with Kim-rimmed glasses at all for fear of offending Aunt Song. For glasses cooperation, the only ones that can be found are minor characters below the fifth rate.
Those models saved money, but Gold-rimmed Glasses has now understood the importance of ace models in fashion shows and the critical importance of Aunt Song's guidance, so she doesn't dare to neglect them at all.
He quickly looked at me for help.
“Well, I really don’t have time...Sorry.”
You can’t mix the physically demanding work of modeling into the already hellish tutoring program, right? Then I will not be alive.
Aunt Song said so much, firstly, to earn face for herself, secondly, to increase my status, and thirdly, to gain a dominant position in this performance. From then on, I guess gold-rimmed glasses would not dare to refute her opinions, but Aunt Song But she had no intention of forcing me to continue performing. After all, she also knew that I was a student.
Golden Glasses quickly left in disappointment. At this time, Aunt Song suddenly asked me: "Are you really not planning to continue participating in charity bazaar performances? I think his price is acceptable in China."
“…I just said in my heart that you wouldn’t force me?” I said with a wry smile, “Besides, I always feel guilty after taking so much money at the charity sale.”
“Forget it if you don’t want to,” Aunt Song quickly gave up, “I just want to give it a try, maybe you will change your mind.”
This is definitely not possible.
