American Fortune Life

"Designer?"

Lima sat up, a pair of gray with blue, shining light, looking at Andy with a touch of sharp beautiful eyes, asked with great interest.

"Yeah, isn't this the career you want to wait until you quit the show? However, in order to avoid conflicts with the Victoria's Secret contract, n-shirt designers don't think about it for the time being..."

Andy nodded and smiled to confirm, then admired the beautiful scenery of Lima, touched his chin, muttered as if he was thinking, and seemed to be making a choice, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said: "Yes, you can start from the design It starts with shoes. Yes, it starts with shoes. You have been on the catwalk for so many years. I believe that what kind of shoes are comfortable to wear is the most clear. Fashion elements will not be difficult for you. When the time comes, find a brand with ergonomic technology Niu 13 Work together, and I'm sure you'll succeed."

To be honest, being a model on the runway is really a youth meal. Even if Lima likes this show, one day, he will leave, and when he chooses to leave, who doesn't want to have a gorgeous turn?

Fashion designer is undoubtedly the most suitable career for many supermodels after they finish their runway career, but it is not an easy task to do well and make it a career success.

"Shoes..."

As the darling of the fashion circle, Lima's sensitivity to fashion is undoubtedly beyond doubt, but if she is really allowed to get involved in the design industry, she really has no self-confidence.

Seeing the hesitation on Lima's face, Andy reached out and pinched her chin, and said with a soft smile, "Why, don't you have confidence?"

"Neither or swimsuit, maybe I'm more confident, shoes, I really..." Lima shook his head helplessly.

"Hehe, in this way, think about it, every time you go shopping, what kind of shoes do you want, roughly draw them, and find a professional person to design them according to your requirements.

And, here I am. . . "

As he spoke, Andy pointed to his head, smiled and continued, "I really have a design idea for shoes. I'll draw it out for you to have a look at. If you like it, I can use it to make your first design."

Lima asked curiously, "What shoes?"

"Coconut shoes!"

That's right, Andy cut off the coconut shoes. Since Kanye offended his little Taylor, Andy will naturally not be polite to him, suppressing and blocking everything, and 'taking away' some things, let alone What an embarrassment.

"Coconut shoes?"

"Well, a sports shoe with a special shape, a simple and light body, and good comfort." To be honest, Andy's first impression of this shoe was that it was strange. As for the strangeness, it must be the strange appearance. .

The shape of coconut shoes is not like ordinary sports and leisure shoes. Its body is generally round and flat, and this is due to the weird but ergonomic shape design.

As for why it was so popular, in fact, apart from star effect, the most important thing is Adidas' hunger and thirst marketing.

After Andy described the appearance of coconut shoes, Lima looked at Andy with a look of "you are fucking meowing me", and said with disgust: "Who would like such weird shoes?"

"..." Andy patted his forehead speechlessly, and said with some helplessness: "Even shoes like the Coles can be popular, and my coconut shoes will definitely become a trend. If you don't want them, I will give them to you." ..."

"Don't even think about it, this design is mine! Hmph! Draw the design as soon as possible, and I'm going to apply for a patent..." Lima is like a cat that protects its food and blows its hair all of a sudden, with a fierce look on its face He glared at Andy and said threateningly.

"Hehe, okay, when the time comes, you can contact Nike or Adidas to seek their cooperation, and then launch this shoe to make your reputation as a designer and lay the foundation for your exclusive brand in the future." Andy said with a face With a gentle smile on his face, he fondled Lima's black hair and said softly.

"Well. I will find some books on shoe design to study.

. . "

Hearing that Lima was talking about the future, Andy felt a lot more relaxed. What he worried most about was that his women would think wildly when they had nothing to do. As long as they had their own careers busy, they would not have any problems. Time to think about it and create trouble for myself.

Just like Ivana now, not only babysitting, but also juggling work at her eponymous exclusive fashion label and her viral mom-and-baby merchandise website

Thehonest's busy affairs are very busy at home.

No, when Andy ate and wiped his mouth and returned home, what he saw was Ivana holding little Joseph while having a meeting with a group of female employees.

"Hi, Mr. Smith..."

Seeing Andy walking in, Ivana's subordinates all stood up and greeted Andy in one go, and Andy nodded to everyone with a smile, walked to Ivana, leaned over to meet her After kissing him, he reached out to take little Joseph, and said, "You guys go ahead and stay for dinner later."

"thanks..."

Everyone thanked again, and then watched Andy leave with little Joseph in his arms, while Ivana watched all this with a happy sweet smile on her face, and then stretched out her hand and pressed down to signal: "Okay, sit down, let's continue talking ..."

Honest is now a very successful e-commerce company for environmentally friendly daily necessities. Membership-based e-commerce innovator that allows users to sign up to purchase recurring monthly bundled products. At present, the company has more than 60 different products. The main concept is "healthy, non-toxic and pure natural". In addition, Ivana, who has changed from a mother-to-be to a new mother, has received a lot of attention in the United States. Some parents welcome.

"I still say the same thing. What I want are hygienic, safe, and efficient products. At the same time, they are also affordable, beautifully designed, and products that cannot be found in the market. We must not neglect the communication with young mothers."

Listening to my boss Ivana reiterated again, everyone present nodded seriously. For Ivana, their subordinates admire her very much. She is an absolute strong woman. , Ivana, who is like a dead life, is still working so hard to start a business and work. To be honest, it's hard not to be admired.

"Boss, we need new funds for new product development and additional products for users. In addition, the company also plans to improve delivery capabilities and increase the accessibility of our brand by adding more retail partners."

Hearing the subordinate's report, Ivana couldn't help but frowned slightly, waved her hand and said: "Let's put it aside for now, I need to discuss the issue of funds with the shareholders to see if the shareholders will continue to inject capital, or start to implement the first market-oriented plan." round of financing."

Everyone present, although their faces remained unchanged, actually began to complain in their hearts, and discussed with shareholders. . . Tsk tsk, there seem to be only two shareholders of the company, besides the boss himself, the other is your man, okay?

Well, you husband and wife can discuss it slowly.

Since the establishment of the company, although thehonest has maintained a double-digit growth rate, so far, it has not yet achieved profitability. The original 50 million funds are almost burned out now.

"Let's start financing. Although I can continue to inject capital, but at this stage of burning money to increase market value, I still don't feel bad about burning other people's money."

After having dinner with Ivana's staff and sending them off, Andy, who was lying on the bed, looked at the plan Ivana gave him, and finally made up his mind.

"Alright, in addition to needing funds to invest in accelerated growth initiatives, I also want to expand in international business outside of the US market. I want to enter the Canadian market, hoping to play a positive role in promoting the growth of the company's performance. Then , How much valuation do we have for financing, and how many shares will we release?" Ivana asked Andy with a light smile.

"We spent 50 million U.S. dollars at the beginning, and we have grown to the current scale. A valuation of 500 million U.S. dollars is not much, right? Let's release 10% of the shares. Fifty million U.S. dollars is enough to burn for a while. As long as Make the market bigger, the data is beautiful, and the valuation will be high, and then the second round of financing will be enough!" Andy said, lion who didn't care at all.

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll let the company announce it to the public." Ivana didn't hesitate. As for whether they won't be able to raise funds, neither of them had ever considered it at all. You must know that their husband-and-wife store has external financing. , Those venture capital companies will definitely give them money!

Even if it is such a shady quotation for a company whose valuation has doubled tenfold in a little over a year, the venture capitalists will be willing to suffer. After all, this unscrupulous couple is really extraordinary.
