As the sponsor of the Eve Saint Laurent press conference, the Bristol Hotel not only set up the press conference hall according to the requirements of Eve Saint Laurent, but also divided the conference rooms into fitting rooms. Ford took Yonas to sit down in the seat in front of the runway set up by the press conference, and naturally an assistant brought them delicious coffee.

Ford introduced: "This is the coffee beans I picked from the local farm when I was traveling in Colombia. Later, I specially transported the coffee beans to Switzerland and hired a master to roast them in Vevey, so there are no branches around the world."

Yonas tasted it but didn't taste any difference. For some elegant tastes, it is indeed his weakness. The red wine is a little better, because I can still say that it is bad every day, but I can't tell the difference between coffee. After putting down the coffee, Yonas said: "For coffee, I can only tell the difference between deliciousness and hard to swallow."

Ford laughed, not looking down on Jonas's self-revealing shortcomings at all, but admired Jonas's straightforwardness even more. He said: "To distinguish these differences, you not only need to know about coffee, but also have a keen tongue. The taste varies from person to person, and that's nothing."

"I have realized my shortcomings in these aspects. Besides the taste of fashion and history, what I lack the most is the cultural heritage, which includes my family. So, I have a request."

Fu Te ignited a cigarette and said with a smile: "I'll listen carefully."

Jonas said: "Maybe it's more presumptuous, but you lack the most suitable candidate. In today's fashion industry, you are the most wise and integrated master, and your grasp of fashion is the most accurate. So, as a friend, I would like to invite you to become my image teacher, package me and my parents in all aspects, and set the most suitable style for us."

"This is not a very difficult thing. I can even introduce a British image master to you to help you make all-round settings, such as speaking, walking, smiling, and other external images. Training rich people like you is his favorite thing." Ford laughed. "Because it's easy to receive such a job."

Jonas smiled and said, "Money is not a problem for me, you can tell your friends as much as possible."

Ford said: "He will train you and your family in physical form, and I will design your hairstyle, clothing, perfume, and so on?"

Jonas laughed, “I will use this as the beginning of our friendship.”

Ford said: "Ivanka and I also had a conversation about the establishment of the new company. You found a good executive and she convinced me. However, there are some things I still need to confirm with you."

Jonas shrugged, "Please say."

“Ivanka told me that she would set up a large fashion company with headquarters in New York. She would also join her own shoe and jewelry brands, and I was the president of the group company.”

Yonas nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I mean. Ivanka is still young and has insufficient experience after all, and her role as president is a bit too worrying."

"That is to say, except for the men's clothing department named after me, I own forty percent of the equity. At the group headquarters, I also own five percent of the management allocation. And I have the power to manage the entire company. Is that true?"

"Yes, all of these can be written into the contract. In the men's clothing department, you have uncontrolled management power, because the group only has forty percent of the voting rights, and the remaining sixty percent are yours. But at the group's headquarters, your power will be bound by Ivanka, after all, she is the chairman."

Fu Te nodded, "I understand these. But I have a question. What is your function?"

Jonas smiled and said, "To be honest, the idea of ​​investing in a fashion company actually comes from you. Rather than investing in a fashion company, I invest in you. I don't know anything about the fashion industry, and I am optimistic about you. So I won't interfere in the company's affairs because I also have my own career."

"So how will you and Ivanka distribute the ownership of the company? A company that has no stable shareholders will not be a stable company, so I am deeply concerned about this."

Jonas asked, “Are you referring to my relationship with Ivanka?”

Fu Te nodded and said, "Yes, most of the company's funds are provided by you now. Your relationship is still good, so there will naturally be no disputes, but if you break up, this will become an unstable factor."

Yonas nodded, which was indeed a question he was considering. If it were just his own funds, of course everything was easy to say, but now Ivanka has also added his shoes and jewelry brands, which requires a clear definition of property rights, otherwise, this will always be an uncertain factor.

He thought for a while and said, "I will have an in-depth discussion with Ivanka on this issue and then give you a satisfactory result. Although this is a very important issue, we have enough time to solve it if the company is still satisfied with its establishment."

Fu Te nodded and said, "There is another problem that Ivanka wants to continue to place women's shoes and jewelry companies in the United States, but I think that if you want to be a world-class brand, then the main production base should still be in Europe."

Jonas said: "I agree with you on this issue. The company is registered in Switzerland, headquartered in New York, clothing production in Italy, perfume debugging in Paris, jewelry design in Belgium, and this is the perfect solution."

Ford laughed: "If that's the case, then I need a private plane, too."

Jonas smiled and said, "I didn't expect this company to make money in the first three years. If you can develop the company and stabilize it within three years, I think the profits you create should meet your requirements."

Jonas' phone rang, and it was from Elini. The loyal secretary told Jonas that it was a result of good news. The Masonic Church in Paris agreed to take over the castle, but the price was a bit high, asking for 20 million euros. As far as Elini knew, this was much higher than the castle in downtown Paris. However, thinking about the location of this castle, you can understand this price again.

Yonas needs to think carefully, because buying an old castle is easy and it is very troublesome to maintain, and it is often at a point where the gain is not worth the effort. For example, this Earl's Mansion has only opened the main building to repair, and the auxiliary building is still sealed. Because restoring the auxiliary building not only costs a lot of money, but also requires a lot of maintenance. The scale of this ancient castle is not too large, and the development of the auxiliary building cannot add many rooms, which does not have much effect on the specific purpose of this ancient castle. The Masonic University of Science and Technology has also calculated that it has not been developed and restored.

If Jonas buys it, he must think about the purpose of this castle. If it is just to show his financial resources, it will definitely cause ridicule among the upper class. Although Jonas can squander a car, he dare not make random decisions on it. Buying a car can also be regarded as the ignorance of his young man, but buying a castle will cause damage to the overall image of your family.

Ford heard the conversation between Jonas and Elini next to him. When Jonas hung up the phone, he smiled and said, "This castle is also famous in Paris. It is located in the city center and next to the Elysee Palace. However, because there are not enough rooms and the hotel is developed into a small hotel, it has formed a private hotel that can only be used as a reception for small group tourists."

Jonas asked: "Can the castle be only a hotel, not a club?"

Ford shook his head, "I'm afraid not. The people coming and going from club to club will cause too much damage to the castle. This is an ancient castle that has been around for almost four hundred years."

Finally, Ivanka came over with her assistant. When Ford saw her, he smiled and said, "I just learned that Yonas rented the Ravez Castle, where you can enjoy all the dreams of a countess. I guess you will have a perfect night."

Jonas smiled and said, "There is still room in there. Ford, you can move in if you want."

Ford smiled and said, "At least before tomorrow night, I still need to complete all the contracts. In the contract between Bristol Hotel and Eve Saint Laurent, I, as the person in charge, must live here."

Jonas smiled and said, "I rented it for three days, and on the last day, I can definitely celebrate the perfect start of the collaboration."

Ford laughed, "Oh, this is such a perfect idea. I need to plan a little bit and try to hold a special cocktail party."

Ivanka looked at them and said, "I agree with you holding a cocktail party, but I definitely don't want to see a cocktail party. Dozens of people are together, Oh my God, this is really unbearable."

Ford smiled and said, "I promise, at least not this time." He thought for a while and said, "Since it is a cocktail party, there is a theme, say goodbye... No, this is too sad. Since you don't let the cocktail party, you can't even use freshness and charm..."

Yonas smiled and said, "I think any kind of topic is OK. This is not the focus. I am very concerned about the future development of the company. Now that the three of us are all here, we can have a good talk about this issue."

Unfortunately, on the eve of this press conference, Ford was not as idle as he said. Before Jonas finished speaking, someone came to Ford. Ford said apologetically: "Sorry, Jonas, it seems we need to find another time."

"For me, there is time at any time." Yonas stood up and hugged Ivanka and smiled: "I wish you a complete success in tomorrow's press conference." (To be continued...)
