Treasure Hunt Tycoon
Chapter 483: Produced by a Master (2)
Daniel Marshall is a legendary designer in the cigar box industry. He was born in poverty, his father was a farmer and a lumberjack, and when he was young, he could only live in a fitting room trailer.
The fitting room trailer is a common feature vehicle in the United States. Many people in the United States also sell clothes. The fitting room trailer serves this industry.
"You have to know that the trailer room in the fitting room is very small. It can accommodate at most a fat man turning around when interviewing clothes in it. If this car is converted into a room, how small is that room?" Saidi Teer said.
Li Dudao: "There is a slang term in our Chinese culture, called hardship and hardship, and Fang is superior. Obviously, this is Mr. Marshall."
"Yes, as a boy, Marshall, who lives in the dressing room trailer, is immersed in his teenage dreams. He is eager to build his own sailboat to travel around the world."
"Later, his girlfriend's grandfather gave him a $ 50,000 loan to enable him to complete the project."
"In order to thank the old man, horse spoon made a hinged red pine cigar box for the old man using teak. The old man was surprised when he saw it. He found his talent in this area and encouraged him to hand over the box design and patent right. Dunhill. "
"After being encouraged, Marshall, who was only 19 years old at the time, brought a few samples and designs of his own cigar boxes to the Dunhill headquarters in New York."
"After several failed phone interview attempts, this young man went directly to the company to request an interview."
"Unfortunately, Dunhill was not moved initially. However, Marshall is a stubborn guy. After a full exchange of views, Dunhill reluctantly gave him an order of $ 250,000."
Having said that, Seidel smiled at them and said, "Look, this is a very inspirational story, isn't it?"
Li Du shrugged. This is indeed an auctioneer. Why is he so stingy? What does he say? Just tell them about the identity and value of the cigar box.
Seidel didn't notice it, and continued to introduce there in a cheerful manner: "In fact, it was just a helpless move by Dunhill. They dismissed the deal after they sent Marshall away."
Hans said angrily, "Oh, **** capitalists, they don't have any credibility."
Seidel took a look at him and said slowly: "Actually, I think Dunhill is worthy of understanding. It is said that Marshall took a tent to sleep at the door of Dunhill's warehouse in order to get an order. If negotiations fail, he still rolls! "
Li Du: "..."
Marshall is indeed a resilient person. When he saw that the road on Dunhill was broken, he adopted another tactic, which is to face consumers.
He took the cigar box he sold to the wealthy in New York, asked their opinions, and introduced them to them.
Marshall's talent is unquestionable, but he was too immature at the time, and the cigar box he designed was still flawed. How could wealthy people who are used to luxury goods see it?
Fortunately, in Dunhill, some seniors noticed this enthusiastic and fighting young man, they decided to hire him as a designer.
Originally, it was said that this was just a kind act of a big man. As a result, Marshall learned and grew quickly after entering Dunhill, and he could stand on his own two years later.
In the end, he became the ace cigar designer of Dunhill, and owned his own studio, DM Studio.
The two words "DM" on the cigar box are the abbreviations of his initials. Ten boxes are his masterpieces, but eight of them are designed for Dunhill, and the other two are exclusively for celebrities. Designed.
Now, as a Taishan Beidou among cigar box designers, his products are already the hottest popular luxury products in high society.
It is already a glorious experience for general designers to create exclusive cigar boxes for Hollywood stars, and Marshall is even more powerful. He serves the US President and the British Royal Family.
"If a Hollywood star asks him to make a custom cigar box, then he has to look at the star's grade. Generally, he won't receive the star."
Hearing here, he exclaimed, "So amazing?"
Seidel shook out his index finger and said, "I'm not exaggerating. Marlon Brando is his client. He owns an island in Tahiti, but the island's climate is too humid and the cigar cannot be saved. Just made a box for him, and guess what? "
"What's wrong?" Li Du asked cooperatively.
"The humidity on the island is too high, not only the cigar cannot be saved, even his script will be damaged by the humidity. Later, Marlon Brando put the script and the cigar into a cigar box made by Marshall. ! "
Li Dudao: "This Mr. Marshall is really amazing ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ So what are these two cigar humidors?"
He couldn't help it, Seidel just didn't cut into the subject.
However, these words are also useful. Li Du already knows the potential value of these boxes. Masters must produce them!
"When it comes to these two cigar boxes, then he has to say his cooperation with Hollywood. In addition to accepting invitations from top stars, he also accepts invitations from some film and television companies."
"For example, just this year, Universal Studios Film and Television commissioned him to create a 30-volume, numbered boutique cigar box to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the film Scarface."
"The two cigar boxes here are also related to a very famous movie and a Hollywood superstar, can you guess?"
Hans looked at the skull on the box and said decisively: "Damn, it must be Terminator and Arnold Schwarzenegger!"
"Bingo! You got it right!" Seidel snapped his fingers cheerfully.
"This cigar box is a real star. Look, the metal on the edge of the box is an extremely unique British standard silver material. Each box needs 100 grams of standard silver!"
"In addition, the exterior material of the box is crocodile leather, and the inner core is made of polished walnut. At that time, a total of 12 were designed and manufactured, each of which was numbered and customized.
Hans was more elated: "How much is that? How much is one?"
Saidi Teer said: "Below 100,000 yuan, it must be an insult to the master!"
Hans looked at Li Du and was excited: "New 100,000 yuan, how can second-hand ones be worth 50,000 yuan!"
Saidi Teer said: "I am talking about used goods, 100,000 pieces of used goods! If it is new? Ha, this not only requires money, but also status!"
"Yes! This time you make a lot of money!"
