Chapter 551 Industrial Transformation
"There is no doubt that this is Luo Quan's work that will hit the Oscar winner."
"This look can definitely be selected as one of the best looks in film history. Not many actors can achieve that kind of chilling fear."
"I'm really looking forward to this movie. Luo Quan always brings surprises to us."
"I haven't felt much about Luo Quan's previous movies. Starting from "The Queen Wears Chanel", I have already felt that her acting skills are beyond imagination. And this time, although there is only one poster, the state of presentation is He is already at the top level, his talent and the speed of his progress are really terrifying."
"And new looks are unlocked every time. I don't know what kind of Luo Quan will be this time."
“It’s going to be pretty wild!”
……………………
On Twitter, intense discussions among fans from all over the world pushed the number of related tweets to more than 200,000.
Bigger media are also rushing to report on it. Now Luo Quan is the traffic code. No matter what news, as long as her name is added to the title, the click rate will never be low.
Major advertisers are also working tirelessly to get Luoquan to endorse them, including top brands such as Apple, Toyota and Ford.
These companies are all aware of Luo Quan's influence. Since Chanel signed her as its global spokesperson, its sales have increased by more than 20%!
For a clothing brand of Chanel's level, 20% of the overall sales volume is already quite terrifying.
Perhaps celebrity influence may not necessarily play a big role in cars, but Apple is different.
If an international superstar shoots an advertisement using his own brand of mobile phone, it can definitely bring about a huge increase in sales.
The only troublesome thing is that since the privacy of her mobile phone was invaded last time, Luo Quan has not used Apple much. She is usually seen using Huawei during live broadcasts.
Moreover, Luo Quan also composed a song for Huawei. Although she did not directly endorse it, the song was quite popular abroad. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is half the spokesperson of Huawei.
In view of this, it is almost impossible for Apple to seduce it. After all, it is the spokesperson of a competitor. Although Apple may not mind, Luo Quan is probably not the kind of person who is willing to eat both sides.
Therefore, Apple has not yet issued a formal endorsement invitation to Luo Quan. It is just a bunch of Apple fans who are calling for it.
"Hey, there are more and more endorsement invitations. It's really annoying."
Early in the morning, Luo Quan was clearing the emails on his computer. Seven out of ten emails were endorsement invitations from various brands.
Some brands are quite perseverant. Even though they have been in the dark for so long, they still send her greetings and invitations to sign contracts once every half month. They are much more determined than those boys on the Internet who say they will not marry her unless they are her.
"Isn't it bad to have too many endorsements?" Leon looked surprised when he heard his sister Versailles' speech, "Seiffert wished he could accept all the endorsements. With your worth, one endorsement can start at a million dollars. !”
"It's nice to be able to get money for appearing on camera and taking photos." Luo Quan chuckled, "But if something happens to this brand, the negative impact will have to be blamed on the spokesperson.
Although most people are rational, there will always be a small group of people who will deliberately seek trouble. "
"That's true. I heard that a certain luxury brand RH recently had all its spokespersons in China terminated their contracts overnight, and the largest consumer market in East Asia was instantly lost." Lyon said about a person he had seen on Twitter before. news. Until now, this is still a hot spot.
The thunder and lightning in the East is different from that in the West. This luxury brand is too arrogant. It is obvious that it has not studied the Eastern culture and taboos clearly. Just one advertisement has caused hundreds of millions of losses.
However, Lyon knows that there are many similar companies in the West, and the only difference is whether they have exploded or not.
After thinking about it like this, he understood the reason why his sister didn't accept these endorsements.
With my sister's status, if she accepts an endorsement, she will definitely be at the level of a global spokesperson. She will enjoy the treatment of the highest-level spokesperson and get the most money and exposure. However, if something goes wrong, she will definitely receive the most criticism.
In comparison, these companies are very familiar with these Western taboos. Words and images such as watermelon, fried chicken, and cotton, or things that may cause misunderstanding, will never appear.
This caution is an ironclad rule in the industry, because if something goes wrong and one person is politically incorrect, the entire company may be doomed.
The result of this difference is actually the reason why companies have different attitudes towards different countries.
Just imagine, if foreign companies would face the risk of revenue plummeting or even bankruptcy after violating China's taboos, would they still be as unscrupulous as they are now?
The answer is obviously impossible. To make a company so big, the bosses of the company are not fools.
Of course, it is one thing to know the answer to some things, and it is another thing to be able to do it. In Luo Quan's view, it is currently difficult to achieve this condition.
After all, even though everyone on Weibo was calling for a boycott of the luxury brand that was criticized all over the Internet a while ago, a considerable number of people still came to buy it as soon as the advertisement for discounts in offline physical stores was posted.
It must be almost gone now, but... anyway, the scene at that time was quite ironic.
"Fortunately, Chanel doesn't seem to have had any similar incidents. Their boss has no other interests in fashion and making money." Leon smiled.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and the people who came in surprised both Luo Quan and Leon. They were Eric and Luo Ni.
"Dad, Mom, aren't you on your honeymoon?" Luo Quan stood up and said in surprise, and walked up to greet him.
"No matter how long the honeymoon is, it will eventually end." Eric put down his suitcase and rubbed his waist.
When a person reaches middle age, a woman's face shrinks the fastest, while a man's waist is the first place where problems occur.
When he was young, he used his waist too much. Now that he is old, the retribution will come immediately.
"Are you... lumbar disc herniation?" Luo Quan watched his father straighten his back, frowning, and kept rubbing the lower part of his lumbar spine with his hands.
"One thing is, as we get older, our health gets worse every day." Eric chuckled and sighed.
In fact, he is usually in good health and exercises regularly, but when he got out of the car, he accidentally bent his waist, so it hurt a little.
However, in the past, there would be no problem if the waist flashed to this extent, but now there is a stinging pain. To say that I am older, there is no problem.
"Go to Chinatown one day and find an old Chinese medicine practitioner to do cupping and acupuncture for you." Luo Ni rubbed her husband's hands, and then the two of them sat on the sofa.
"Cupping, what is that?" Eric said curiously.
Luo Quan didn't know how to do cupping, but he knew the general principle, so he explained to his father: "It uses fire to burn a bottle into a vacuum, and then attaches it to the area you need to treat. The difference in internal and external air pressure will keep the glass bottle attached to you. The suction force is constantly generated on the back.
This suction force will suck the congestion in your body under the skin, and when the cupping pot is removed, it will be discharged through the circulatory system. "
"It sounds pretty miraculous. Does it hurt?" Eric knew that there were many miraculous treatments in China. He knew the name of acupuncture, and it was proven to be effective.
But he really didn't know about cupping, and now that he heard how it was done, he couldn't understand it either.
"I haven't pulled it out, so I don't know." Luo Quan shook his head.
"To be on the safe side, it's better to get a CT scan to avoid damaging the bones." Luo Ni added.
Cupping was just something she said casually. When Luo Quan was a child, her grandfather had some physical problems, and the most common treatment method was cupping. Luo Ni was also influenced by it, so she blurted it out without thinking much.
"It's not urgent, it's not a serious illness." Eric patted his wife's hand, took out a laptop from the suitcase, and said to his children:
"We will stay in New York for a long time this time. You two don't usually spend much time at home, but if you are free, you can come to New York to stay for a few days."
"Aren't you going to travel?" Leon asked curiously.
"It's a waste of time to travel." Eric sighed helplessly, "Your grandfather said that he got angry when he saw me idle all day long. Although there was something going on at home, just waiting to die was not an option, so he decided to let me Handle some family business."
"Business?" Leon chuckled, "Second uncle, can he agree? Doesn't this mean that it touches his heart?"
"Don't say that, that's your second uncle after all." Eric glanced at his son angrily, "Besides, the business your grandfather gave me was not real estate. No matter how anxious your second uncle is, he will never talk to him because of this. I'm in a hurry."
"Not real estate? In addition to real estate, does our family have other industries?" Leon asked doubtfully.
In addition to real estate, the Albert Group also invests in many other companies, but they only pay dividends and do not interfere with the operations of these companies.
"It's a new industry." Eric had already turned on his computer as he spoke and clicked on a document. "It's said to be an industry, but it's actually an industrial chain."
The siblings looked over and saw the company name "Onelson Group".
This is a quite large multinational shipping group. At its peak, it was one of the top five shipping leaders in the United States. However, due to poor management and squeeze from peers, the company's business has gradually declined and it has continued to reduce its scale.
Now, it has transformed from one of the leading shipping companies to a medium-sized shipping company, and is almost on the verge of bankruptcy.
Eric said while scrolling the page: "Your grandfather handed over the Albert Group to Andre. Although he didn't say it, he still felt sorry in his heart, so he used his own money to buy this company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. shipyard, but all the company's shares are in my name.
In addition, he also ordered seven 100,000-ton shipping ships in the name of Albert Company, which is regarded as start-up capital and venture capital. It will be repaid bit by bit when the company's business starts, but if it fails, No need to pay compensation. "
Now Luo Quan and Leon understood that instead of compensating their father, it was more about finding him something to do.
The Albert family's property is so huge that even if the eldest son does not inherit the group, the compensation would not be comparable to that of a mere few days of shipping.
It is estimated that the old man saw that his eldest son had already married and it was not a problem for him to hang around like this, so he asked for money to find something for him to do.
Although it is difficult to run a company that is already on the verge of bankruptcy, shipping is indeed a good fit for Eric. After all, he has many friends and a wide network of contacts, so it can be said that this industry is perfect for him.
Luo Quan said happily: "It's a good thing to have something to do. With the seven big ships plus the original ships of this company, we should be able to maintain normal business. With a little more care, not to mention making a lot of money, it shouldn't be difficult to reverse the losses. of."
"Too conservative." Eric smiled and stroked his wife's belly. Luo Ni, who had been pregnant for nearly half a year, was already very pregnant. She would have to go to the hospital to give birth in a while.
"My idea is that since we want to do something, we must make the business bigger and stronger. My grandfather and your great-grandfather could build the Albert Group, but I have not and cannot build the Eric Group."
"Just brag." Luo Ni gently poked her husband's forehead, "The Internet and new energy are the ones making big money now. Your company, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, should first think about how to come back to life."
"I have my own way. Your husband and I have been traveling around the world for decades. I don't have much else, but I have many friends. I can always get business." Eric is always so confident in front of his wife.
Luo Quan and Leon looked on, just smiling lightly, enjoying the relaxed and harmonious time together as a family.
However, reunion is always short-lived, and separation is the norm.
After a family of four, no, it should be a family of five, had a sumptuous dinner in the evening, Luo Quan and Leon got on a plane to California the next day.
The crew is basically all ready, and a large group of people are waiting to start work.
"It's best to hire some trustworthy nannies at home. It would be best to transfer a few from the manor in London." Before leaving, Leon mentioned it to his father.
Although Aunt Luo Ni looks young, she is already an older mother in medical terms. It is better to have more people at home to take care of her.
After all, the American housekeeping company hires outsiders. The maids in the manor are all old people with twenty or thirty years of experience, so they are more secure to use.
"You need to remind me." Eric laughed and punched his son, "Take care of yourself and your sister."
"Do you still need me to take care of my sister?" Leon complained helplessly, "Her fighting power is the best in the world. If something happens to her, she can still take care of me."
"That's true." Eric then remembered his daughter's skills and laughed.
Over there, Luo Quan had finished talking to his mother. The siblings waved goodbye to their parents and then boarded the plane.
