Start by trimming cow hooves

After sending away Fisker's new CEO Yi Wen.

Hoshino Yuko sat next to Suri, her tone was serious, and she couldn't wait to ask:

"If I want to do business, what advice do you have?"

"Suri, you are the most profitable person I know. Now I have income from Victoria's Secret. When I get 1.5 million U.S. dollars in endorsement fees from the Japanese cosmetics company Shiseido, I should have a few dollars left after tax. One hundred thousand, I want to do something with the money."

"Depositing money in the bank is the safest way, but I want more than that..."

The endorsement talks with Shiseido have already come to fruition.

Because Hoshino Yuko is not famous enough, representatives from Victoria's Secret only helped her obtain US$1.5 million in endorsement fees in the first year.

If the results are good and you decide to renew the contract in the future, the endorsement price is likely to double directly.

Victoria's Secret supermodels have their own reputations, and the market price of endorsements for more famous supermodels is about the same.

After all, she is not white. It is difficult for her to climb to the top of the pyramid in European and American countries that appear to be open but are actually exclusive and like to form groups and create monopolies.

Currently, she only has some influence in Japan, so other first-line luxury goods and cosmetics companies have not started to pay attention to her yet.

It was rare to see Hoshino Yuko talking about something so seriously. Suri was slightly stunned and asked curiously while drinking iced coffee:

"Why do you want to do business? The money you make as a star is not enough to spend?"

Hoshino Yuko told:

"It pissed me off so much! My father changed his landline and contacted me, saying that taking advantage of his fame to marry into a plutocratic family was the right thing to do. He is a shadow that I will never be able to get rid of unless I become stronger, although you He's very nice to me, much better than some damn chaebol heir, but doesn't this prove his idea that women can only rely on men?"

"...Oh, so that's what it's like."

Su Rui knew very well the impact a poor family environment had on its children. Seeing that she was so angry that she was about to scold her, he could understand the girl's thoughts.

Su Rui snapped his fingers casually, with a smile on his face, and he immediately became energetic and added:

"When it comes to making money, you are asking the right person. Even Buffett, Charlie Munger, Bill Gates and others combined are not as good as me. Since you ask the question sincerely, how can I not help you? , first tell me what your current thoughts are and which line of work you are interested in?"

I held it in for a long time.

Hoshino Yuko tentatively said:

"I only have a little money, how about opening a clothing store? There is a saying in our modeling circle, today you are still here, tomorrow you will be out. It happened that Victoria's Secret started to reform. I don't know what will happen in the future. Sample."

"You have become a Victoria's Secret super model, but you are still so unsure of yourself. How much influence do your parents have on you? When your father contacted you just now, you should have said that I don't want to marry into a wealthy family. I am a wealthy family."

Su Rui just finished speaking.

Hoshino Yuko's eyes almost had stars, she thought his words were so cool.

It's a pity that she is not the one who is really good. She even relied on Suri's help to join Victoria's Secret, otherwise she would most likely fail.

Victoria's Secret doesn't pay much attention to the Japanese market, but now pays more attention to the mainland market with a huge population and amazing consumption potential. Originally, it wanted to directly find a Chinese supermodel.

Regarding this matter, Hoshino Yuko only found out about it after joining the company. Of course Suri had no idea about it and accidentally squeezed out an opportunity that belonged to others.

She sighed now and said:

"I belong to a wealthy family. It's okay for you to say this yourself. With your achievements, no one will refute it. If it were me, it would probably sound like a joke to my father. This requires sufficient strength to support it. "

At this time, Su Rui did not dare to joke and provoke her. After a brief consideration, he said:

"You have a little bit of capital on hand right now. If you really want to develop in the fashion industry, I do have a few good ideas. By then you can be your own endorser and open a store to sell, and you should be able to make a quick buck."

The best way to invest is actually to directly exchange money for stocks of Facebook, Amazon, Apple and other companies. Mainland stocks such as Penguin are also very good, and the prices are at a low level.

However, this is more trouble-free, but the results are a bit slow. It may take two or three years to see the results.

Suri then said:

"We have been experiencing a financial crisis recently, and the streets are full of subleased shops. The area does not need to be too large. Opening a shop in Hollywood and New York is enough. It will help you earn more start-up capital, and then consider what to do next. Do."

After Suri finished speaking, Hoshino Yuko couldn't wait to ask: "How do two stores make money?"

"I'll help you design some clothes, sell them at a higher price, and package them as luxury goods..."

Suri found paper and pen and wanted to draw a picture that would shock her.

However, the painting skills are really unsightly, only one level higher than the stick figures.

One pair of pants looks like jeans on the surface, but it looks like a bikini is exposed.

The other pair of pants looks like wearing a one-piece swimsuit underneath.

In addition, there is a pair of jeans with two pieces of fabric on the front and back, and the sides are like shoelaces and strung up with ropes. The style is novel, fashionable, and especially sexy.

After Su Rui finished painting, he felt a little embarrassed and said awkwardly:

"Sure enough, professional things should be left to professional talents. You probably understand what I think, right? Then design a few more styles, call it the bikini jeans series, and ask a few colleagues to help try them on. It should be a big hit .”

Hoshino Yuko was a little confused.

Combined with Suri's hot-eyed hand-painted works, it is really difficult to associate it with the word "sexy", but she can somewhat imagine some pictures that make her feel interesting.

Suri continued:

"When your brand becomes popular, no matter how much money you invest, as long as someone is willing to buy it, just add a 0 at the end and sell it directly. The purpose is just to make money. It is a bit troublesome to become famous in the long term. Imitations will soon be all over the streets. , you can’t beat the European luxury goods groups, let alone the garment factories of my motherland.”

Hoshino Yuko was moved and said, "But my start-up capital is probably not enough. Designing, renting a store, and customizing products all cost money."

"It's simple. I'll lend it to you. If you're worried about losing money, I can invest it."

Suri said with a smile:

"Women like to follow trends. It's actually quite easy to make money from them. As long as it's linked to sexy, beautiful, and luxurious words, you probably won't have to worry."

Hoshino Yuko looked at him and said:

"I suspect that you are a bit bad-mouthing us women, but I did buy a lot of nice-looking but difficult-to-wear shoes through fashion magazines, so you seem to be right."

…

Just do it.

In the evening of the same day, Suri asked someone to contact a fashion designer, paid her $5,000, and asked the other party to sign a confidentiality agreement and start creating designs for these bikini jeans...
