At the cocktail party after the press conference, Jonas spoke to Ford for the first time. Contrary to what Jonas thought, although Ford likes to do some outrageous things, such as walking naked on the street, organizing a group of handsome men and beautiful women, or taking pictures of male and female posters, he is a bit shy and talks. Take your time.
When he and his lover, the magazine editor Richard Buckley, who was 13 years older than him, walked arm in arm to Jonas, Jonas suddenly felt that this scene was so harmonious and loving. The love between them also moved Jonas very much. Although it was a love between a man and a man, they had been together for half their lives. Even when his lover Buckley was suffering from throat cancer, their relationship had never been the same. Shaken.
Perhaps because this was a farewell celebration, Ford was not in a very high mood. After greeting Jonas, he turned to Ivanka who was leaning against Jonas and said: "With such a handsome guy, I can forgive you for your morning It¡¯s late.¡±
Ivanka smiled sheepishly and said, "I hope our relationship will last as long as you and Mr. Barkley."
Jonas asked: "What plans does Mr. Ford have after leaving Gucci? It is said that Mr. Ford is very interested in making movies, and I also have a spare fund to deploy." After Ford left Gucci, he not only founded his own Branded clothing has fulfilled his childhood dream. He invested in a movie. Although he didn't make a lot of money, it was still a big success.
Ford was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will get electrocuted for the first time and lose this money?"
Jonas smiled and said: "Compared to the money, I value your talent more. I have always believed that Paris Spring gave up you for the right to vote, which was their biggest mistake. However, at this time, I Congratulations, because without the constraints of management, I believe your future will be more successful."
"Although it is your investment, I need absolute production control." Ford said tentatively.
Jonas knew that his film was truly his own and that he did not allow anyone else to have any influence in the making of the film. Jonas nodded and said: "If the scope of cooperation can be expanded from movies to companies, then I can accept any of your conditions."
"company?"
"Yes, company. A fashion company named after you, you will be the person in charge of this company. And I can even invest all the funds, but only need 70% of the shares, and, I only need Forty percent of the voting rights. In other words, this company is completely yours."
Ford and Buckley looked at each other with puzzled expressions. Ford asked: "Mr. Hoffman, this is a very generous offer, but I only have one question, why me?"
Ivanka looked at Jonas¡¯s confident and calm smile, thinking that she had asked him the same question a month ago, and she had not escaped his temptation. This guy is like a devil, always offering irresistible conditions that make people willingly surrender to him.
Jonas said: "Because from your works, what I see is not the trend, but money. Your works should not only bear the names of Gucci, Prada, and Armani, but should be Tom Ford, yourself name."
Ford thought for a while and said: "Ten days later, I will have the last Yves Saint Laurent fashion show in Paris. At that time, I can tell you my decision."
Jonas took out his business card and said: "My major is oil mining and I know nothing about the fashion industry, so you can discuss specific matters with Ivanka. I believe that with your relationship, we can It was a pleasure to work with.¡±
The business card given to Ford was specially printed by Jonas later. On this business card, there was only the name of Alpine Investment Company. Because in the current structure, Alpine Investment Company is the parent company of all companies. Its Alpine Mining Company and European Oil Tower Company will be controlled by his father Yannick. As for the two investment companies registered in the Caribbean, they are also controlled by this company. The company is fully owned and Ivanka manages it. Jonas became a veritable master of business.
Ford also handed over his business card, and after a few more pleasantries, Ford excused himself and left. Today he is the protagonist of the whole meeting. Everyone present has to greet one by one. There is really not much time to negotiate with Jonas alone. Besides, he also needs time to think about it.
In another corner of the venue, Kidman was chatting with several fashion company executives who were chatting with her. For her, these executives are also financial backers. Although the pay for making movies is high, the filming cycle is also very long. , and advertising is the fastest way to make money. Not long ago, she filmed a 4-minute commercial for Chanel and received nearly $4 million in after-tax income, all of which were endorsement fees.Combined, this makes her the highest-grossing actress in the world.
But at this moment, her mind was not on these people. The handsome young man being held by Ivanka gained more of her attention after being separated from her. She was not jealous of Ivanka, who was younger than her, because she had never thought that she would fall in love with a boy 13 years younger than herself, which gave her no confidence at all. But at this moment, she made up her mind to get him. Yes, get him, or rather, get his sperm.
She has been married to Cruise for 11 years, and she has always wanted to have a child, but Cruise¡¯s sperm survival rate is too low, and they have never been able to have a child. Kidman's desire for children has reached an obsessive level. And this handsome boy, with his excellent genes, will definitely be able to create a perfect child with himself. However, Kidman hasn't decided yet whether he wants to devote himself to her. If he doesn't devote himself, it will be difficult to obtain his seed. If he does, it seems to be too cheap for him, even though he is very handsome.
Kidman is struggling here, but Ivanka feels extremely happy. Although Jonas is a bit macho, he is able to take good care of himself in every detail, making her fascinated by his charm and enjoying his care even more.
She yawned a little indecently. It was still indecent to cover it with her hands, so she hid behind Jonas. Jonas asked: "Are you sleepy?"
Ivanka nodded, "Today is a busy and hard day Why are you thinking of investing in Tom Ford?"
Jonas smiled and said: "Don't you think I need a full-time designer? Not only me, but also my parents need to redesign, and Ford is the leader in this industry. Originally, I only thought of Here, but just now this idea suddenly jumped out. You know, once you have an idea, implement it. This is the secret of my success."
Ivanka shook her head and said: "I think you are developing too fast. You have just obtained a billion US dollars in corporate bonds from Chris Fund, and you are going to borrow another 2.5 billion US dollars from UBS. Oh my God, this is almost my home. all the property.¡±
Jonas said: "This is almost all the property of my family, Ivanka, we are a well-matched couple."
Ivanka rolled her eyes at him and said: "You didn't count the stocks of American investment companies. These stocks are also worth a lot of money. Compared with you who directly control the economic power of the whole family, I still have a long way to go. "
Jonas said: "Compared to our ages, you can definitely wait. Besides, haven't I already handed over all the power of the American company to you? This time, if Ford accepts my conditions, it will also go through Panama Operating as a branch will also mean that within the framework I set, you have the greatest power."
"What about the funding issue?"
Jonas smiled and said: "You are a powerful person, don't worry, your capital limit will not be touched."
Ivanka said reluctantly: "No, I'm going to be angry. How dare you say that to me."
Jonas looked around and said, "If you don't mind, I can make it up to you now."
Ivanka slapped him angrily, but it was full of coquettishness. "I'm just thinking about whether to add my brand to it and set up a brand new company. Ford is my predecessor, and I can learn a lot from him."
Jonas said: "This is a good idea, Ivanka. If you want, you can set up a large fashion group, like a large company like Louis Vuitton. I will try my best to support you."
While speaking, Ivanka yawned again, although she was very interested. Jonas smiled: "It seems we need to go back to bed to continue discussing this issue."
Ivanka said shyly: "Promise me one thing first."
Jonas nodded and said, "I can't bear to refuse you."
¡°Tonight, just let me lie quietly in your arms and sleep without invading me.¡±
Now it was Jonas's turn to make a grimace and suggested: "The underground spa at the Chateau Monforte Hotel is very famous. We can go and enjoy it after we go back." He smiled and said, "I think, this way Relaxing a bit will definitely give you some energy back.¡±
Ivanka stretched out a finger helplessly, "Just once."
"Okay, I promise you."
"you promise."
Jonas nodded and said: "I promise." But he was snickering in his heart. You may not know what one night at a time is like, right? !
After saying goodbye to Ford, the two of them did not drive, but strolled along the tree-lined street. The Diana Hotel and the Chateau Monforte Hotel are on the same street.?, it's not far away, only a 5-minute walk.
Elini originally wanted Jonas to live far away from the exhibition center, but he happened to live near the Gucci show, which was an unexpected surprise. The two of them were walking, but the bodyguards and assistants were not in such good spirits and drove two cars behind them.
