CHAPTER 1113: CHAPTER 1112: VIEWING THE COMPANY

Ye Qiu took a comfortable bath in the bathroom, and when he came out, he went back to his room and directly fell asleep.

The next day, he was woken up by the French maid.

"Young Master Ye, breakfast is ready, please come down to eat."

"I’ll wash up and come down."

Ye Qiu went to freshen up first, then went downstairs to wait for Louise and Zhou Wenting to come down.

Last night, Zhou Wenting didn’t take a bath. Feeling a bit tipsy, she just fell asleep soundly.

The two women got up, freshened up and dressed up, while a middle-aged couple had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast, mainly with Huaxia flavors, along with French bread and milk.

After Ye Qiu and the two women finished breakfast, Louise asked, "Qiu, where are we going?"

"Let’s go check out the company."

Ye Qiu planned to check out the situation at the fashion company.

With that, Louise and Ye Qiu first went to see the company’s status.

Leaving from the Eastern Castle, Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting got into his Bentley Bentayga, while Louise drove her red BMW.

Ye Qiu and Louise drove off, heading towards Paris.

By the time they arrived in Paris, it was already around eleven in the morning.

Ye Qiu first followed Louise to check out the office.

He had already been there once before returning to his country last time, so he still remembered the way.

Now, driving to the base of the building, after parking the car, Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting got out of the car and followed Louise into the elevator to go upstairs.

Getting out of the elevator, heading towards the office, Ye Qiu saw some employees inside, seemingly at work.

However, compared to those domestic companies, the employees here seemed more laid-back, especially the designers, whose working hours differ from regular employees.

Ye Qiu followed Louise to her CEO office, and upon entering, Louise said, "Qiu, besides the design department, our company also has an advertising department, marketing department, and sales department. For clothing sales, we manage sales within France, while international sales are handled by agents. As of now, with just the Louise series brand, our sales have already exceeded one billion euros."

When Louise handed a ledger to Ye Qiu to look at, Ye Qiu took it and found that the sales in Europe alone were very high, and in some Asian countries, as well as Huaxia, the sales were quite strong too.

Being the highest-end fashion, it is extremely profitable. Apart from those costs, at least four to five hundred million euros in profit are made out of these billion euros, which translates to several billion Huaxia Yuan.

And this is just the first series of works.

This left Zhou Wenting in disbelief.

Ye Qiu had only just helped Louise enter the fashion brand scene, and she was already making so much money.

What about the future? Will it be even more impressive?

"Next, we have the latest winter collection which will be launched soon."

Louise said.

"Where are the works of the other designers?"

Ye Qiu asked.

Last time, he had personally recruited and scouted a group of talented designers, and he still remembered them.

So during this period, Ye Qiu knew that they should have their own creations by now.

"I was just about to bring them over for you to see."

When Louise brought over the works of Robit, Kevin, Bliss, Bal, Dawei, Jacques, and others, she also mentioned that during this period, she had hired several other talented designers.

These designers had previously showcased their works at Paris Fashion Week, but unfortunately, the pieces weren’t accepted by consumers.

Ye Qiu sat there looking at these designers’ works, which were mainly spring and summer wear but didn’t particularly impress Ye Qiu, as they seemed to lack a certain Spiritual Energy.

Of course, within Huaxia, these designs would be considered quite good.

"How are they?"

Louise asked.

"They aren’t perfect works yet; they’re just average."

Ye Qiu said.

"Then we can only have them continue designing their works."

After Ye Qiu finished viewing them, he felt the designs were not perfect enough. Even if these were actually produced, they might not live up to the brand’s reputation and could tarnish the previous prestige.

So, to develop a top-notch brand, it’s essential to pursue the most fashionable and perfect designs promptly. Brands like Chanel and Versace have all been tested by the market over a long period, with only perfect works that received widespread consumer recognition.

Louise knew that was the only option.

After looking at them, Ye Qiu and Louise left the office, and when they got to the design department, besides the designers he personally recruited, there were others hired by Louise. Ye Qiu got to know them and communicated with them, which might offer some inspiration.

These designers were naturally quite surprised and admired when they learned this young man in front of them was the designer of the Louise series.

After Ye Qiu finished chatting with them, it was already noon, and Ye Qiu, along with Louise and Zhou Wenting, decided to leave.

After taking the elevator down and getting back into the car, Louise asked, "Qiu, what should we eat?"

"Let’s have some fine French dining, then visit Chinatown in the afternoon."

Paris certainly offers authentic French cuisine, unlike anything available in Jinling. Ye Qiu had never tried it before, and even if there were any in Jinling, they would probably be expensive and not authentic.

Louise drove Ye Qiu to one of the most renowned French restaurants in Paris, parking the car.

Ye Qiu, Louise, and Zhou Wenting got out of the car.

As they walked towards the restaurant entrance, the tall French female servers with blonde hair, brown eyes, and long slender legs welcomed guests as they arrived.

"Ye Qiu, this French restaurant is known for the most authentic French cuisine."

"We must try it then."

As the waitress led the three inside, Ye Qiu noticed that the interior was lavishly decorated, yet there weren’t many customers.

Perhaps it targeted a different consumer group.

When Ye Qiu, Louise, and Zhou Wenting sat down, the waitress stood by and handed the menu to Ye Qiu. He then passed it to Louise.

Regarding the traditional thirteen-course French meal, Ye Qiu had already experienced it at Count Charley’s grand castle, which was, of course, quite authentic.

Now eating out, it should be something different.

"Qiu, they offer both thirteen-course and fifteen-course menus here, which should we choose?"

"Let’s go with the fifteen-course one!"

After Louise told the waitress, she asked, "Shall we have some wine?"

"I don’t mind drinking, but I’m worried you might feel unwell."

The two women had gotten drunk after two bottles last night.

"A little won’t hurt me," Louise said.

"Then let’s have a bottle of Lafite."
