Xia Chaoqun paused for a moment before continuing, ”
I’m sure your Prince PEI knows that his family releases a sports car every few years. I’m close to Piech, so I knew about it earlier. They’ve already decided on the model for their new car for the next season.
She tapped the table with a fountain pen, making a light clicking sound.
“leopard?”
She smirked. I’m asking you to be the spokesperson for the new leopard series from Elysees. It’s not going to conflict with Tao cen’s endorsement.
However, both the Chinese people and Tao cen himself felt that the spokesperson should be unique to the Elysees. this impression will be broken sooner or later. It’s just that it’s being brought forward now.
“Sister Chaoqun, do you think I have a high chance of getting this endorsement?”
Jiang se glanced at her schedule. Her schedule for June was only temporarily empty. She had not received any notice from her earlier. Perhaps, she had not made a decision yet. She had not discussed it with Lin xiwen and the production company of “immortal encounter” either.
However, given Xia Chaoqun’s personality, if she could say ‘very high hopes’, it meant that she was confident or had almost finished negotiating the endorsement.
Even though Tao cen had been the spokesperson of the Elysees for almost ten years, in some people’s hearts, she had already represented a part of the Elysees culture.
“Yes.”
Xia Chaoqun nodded. Jiang se could not help but ask, ”
“Why?”
Just as mo Anqi had said, Liu Ye had tried to secure the endorsement deal for Elysees back then, but it had all ended in failure. He had not managed to get a share of the pie from Tao cen. Why did Xia Chaoqun think that he would be able to get a piece of the pie from Tao cen?
Xia Chaoqun didn’t reply to her question. Instead, he changed the subject and said, ”
I remember that your Prince PEI was driving a sports car in France with a few friends and alerted the French police.
When she said this, Jiang se immediately had an impression of her.
Not long after she was reborn, PEI Yi, nie dan, and a few others were racing in France and caused a huge commotion. In the end, the police were alerted and even helicopters were dispatched. It was on the news at that time and caused a huge commotion. Even the country was broadcasting the news.
However, thinking about it carefully, this had happened almost six or seven years ago. At that time, the news had involved PEI Yi and was quickly stopped by the PEI family. Not long after it was broadcasted, there was no more news and it was replaced by other news.
If it was not for someone as attentive as Jiang se, most people would not have remembered this.
When Xia Chaoqun mentioned this, Jiang se paid special attention to mo Anqi and the two new assistants in the room. They all looked confused. Clearly, they did not know what Xia Chaoqun was referring to.
This was enough to prove Xia Chaoqun’s extraordinary memory. Such an insignificant matter had only appeared on the news once, but she had remembered it in her heart.
“Yes, I am.”
Mo Anqi was curious at first. She wanted to ask when PEI Yi had caused a stir in France. However, when she saw Xia Chaoqun’s expression, she did not dare to interrupt Xia Chaoqun’s conversation. She decided to ask Jiang se about it after they were done discussing the Elysees ‘advertisement.
I did some research later. For example, your Prince PEI’s friends were most interested in collecting sports cars that looked cool when they got their driving license between the ages of 16 and 19.
Out of curiosity, she had asked someone to collect some information. Due to PEI Yi’s identity, she had started her investigation with the Xiang brothers, who had the most contact with the female stars in the entertainment industry. After satisfying her curiosity, she put the matter aside.
It was only until a few years later when she wanted to help Jiang se secure the endorsement deal for the Elysees family’s sports car did she remember this.
Jiang se did not expect Xia Chaoqun to be curious as well. In Jiang SE’s impression, Xia Chaoqun had always been calm, confident, and extremely powerful. She was like a machine that was running at high speed. She was always full of energy and never stopped.
Xia Chaoqun ignored Jiang SE’s gaze. He was extremely calm as he continued, ”
“After a few years, they seem to have changed their interest.”
When she said this, Jiang se immediately understood what she meant.
Indeed, as she had said, PEI Yi and the others had been obsessed with all kinds of sports cars when they were young and frivolous.
However, as they grew older, the brothers went their own ways. PEI Yi went to the military school and worked in the Western nine states after graduation, while nie dan and the others opened a company together and did a good job.
Those sports cars seemed to have been locked in the dust with their youthful memories.
After becoming more mature in the past few years, PEI Yi had been driving more spacious off-road vehicles and no longer made his long legs suffer.
Jiang se seemed to be deep in thought. The assistants did not understand what Xia Chaoqun meant.
When Xia Chaoqun saw that Jiang se had understood the situation, he did not intend to bring it up again. He ordered his assistant, Zhang Chi, to clear the table. Mo Anqi could not help but ask, ”
“Sese, when is brother PEI going to make a scene in France?”
“When I was in my third year of high school, he, ah dan, ru ning, and the others were driving in France and attracted the attention of the police. There was some news about it.”
The matter had blown up, and it was the complete opposite of the PEI family’s usual low-profile character. Later on, when the elders came forward to settle the matter, Jiang se even heard that they had all been taught a lesson by the elders.
Mo Anqi was even more confused when she heard this, ”
then what did sister Xia mean when she said that they’ve changed their interests in recent years? ”
“Yi used to be very keen on collecting sports cars.” The number of sports cars in his garage was almost the same as a small sports car display. Jiang se explained, ”
“It’s just that I haven’t been playing for the past few years. I’ve been doing other things.”
The assistant beside him glanced at Xia Chaoqun. In the end, he could not hold back his curiosity.
then, what does sister Xia’s words have to do with the endorsement deal for Elysees? ”
She mustered up her courage and asked the question. Xia Chaoqun crossed his arms and stared at her, causing the assistant to shrink back in fear. Jiang se could not help but laugh when she saw that everyone else was afraid of Xia Chaoqun.
“Of course it’s related.”
Xia Chaoqun was willing to waste his time to talk about these old matters with him. Naturally, he couldn’t have done it purely because he had nothing to do.
She explained to them,
“When a Yi, a dan, and a few others were young, they were obsessed with these sports cars. When they got older, they began to do their own business and stopped playing.”
PEI Yi and the others ‘current state also represented a certain customer base of the supercar.
Elysees’s top-class supercar customer base was targeted. Different models were targeted at customers of different ages.
Tao cen had been the spokesperson for Elysees for ten years. She had a good image and a high style. Her reputation and status in China were also very compatible with the brand Elysees. However, as she grew older, her experience and status were proportional to her age. it’s age.
This was something that everyone could not avoid.
No matter how well Tao cen took care of herself, she was already in her thirties. After being tempered by time, she had an elegant and graceful temperament and a mature charm, but it had taken away the passion that was unique to her youth.
Xia Chaoqun had good taste and noticed this piece of cake from the Elysees family. From the very beginning, she had never thought of snatching the Elysees brand from Tao cen’s hands. It was unrealistic and not worth it.
As the spokesperson for Elysees for ten years, Tao cen would never give up on maintaining the brand. She had also maintained a good friendship with Piech, the president of the Asia-Pacific region.
Even though Xia Chaoqun and Piech were old acquaintances, she was the one who had helped Tao cen get the endorsement deal for Elysees and had personally sent Tao cen to Piech.
Now, if she had the intention of using Jiang se to force Tao cen away, it would be a form of denial of Xia Chaoqun’s own abilities.
In the ten years that Tao cen had been the spokesperson for Elysees, her reputation had not been tainted. Putting aside the fact that Piech’s personal relationship with Xia Chaoqun was not worth it for her to remove Tao cen for Xia Chaoqun’s sake, even if Piech was acting on impulse, if Elysees were to change the spokesperson abruptly, especially for such a top-notch car brand, it would cause many people to speculate and cause trouble for Elysees.
Moreover, Tao cen was not someone to be trifled with.
However, if Xia Chaoqun’s goal was to be the spokesperson for one of the sports cars owned by Elysees, she would have a high chance of being the spokesperson for the race’s leopard sports car given her friendship with Piech and the fact that Jiang se had a big movie like “a chance to live” that was screened this year, which had performed well at the box office. This proved her ability.
Xia Chaoqun must have done a thorough investigation on this matter and had also gotten someone to do a comparison of the data. She was only so certain because there were some clues.
As for the reason why Liu Ye had failed in his attempt to woo Elysees, it was probably because of their image and positioning, which were similar to Tao cen’s.
The two of them had been famous for many years. They were both successful men and women in their thirties. Since they had Tao cen, Liu Ye was naturally not within the scope of their consideration.
This had nothing to do with fame, status, or awards. Jiang SE’s biggest advantage was her youth and beauty.
Therefore, even though she had gotten the endorsement deal for Elysees, there was still a small gap between her and Tao cen. This was also because of Tao cen’s age.
After Xia Chaoqun finished speaking, he looked at his watch again.
“But after we get the contract, we still have to discuss the time for the advertisement shooting.”
If the company Elysees placed great importance on Jiang se, they might even come up with a special advertisement shooting plan for her. In that case, it would naturally be impossible for them to film the advertisement in June.
The more importance they placed on it, the longer the preparation time would be. This was the reason why Xia Chaoqun had changed his schedule at the last minute and had not informed the production team of ” immortal encounter “.
She still had things to do later, so she left a few simple things to do before she took a call and left in a hurry.
In the middle of April, the box office of ” a chance of survival ” was already approaching two billion. The foreign box office was not as good as ” demon “‘s performance back then. However, most Film Critics had also praised Jiang SE’s performance in ” a chance of survival “. They felt that it was a pity that she did not win the ‘Best Actress’ award at the France Film Festival this year.
Jiang se had received an invitation from the hundred blossom art Awards. a chance to live ” had made it into the limelight of the art Awards. At that moment, Xia Chaoqun was leading Jiang SE’s team. After putting in a lot of effort, he brought Jiang se to meet up with Piech twice. Finally, they managed to get the leoper sports car that Elysees would be launching in the second half of the next year.
On the day the cooperation between the two parties was confirmed, Tao cen also received the news very quickly.
Her manager, Song Yi, was angry and hateful. He tried to make the people from the company Elysees give up on this idea with a helpless look on his face. Piech’s assistant’s tone was sweet, but it was polite yet cold as she rejected Song Yi’s intention to contact Piech directly.
I’m sorry, Mr. Song, but Ms. Piech is busy with a video conference. I’ll let her know about your call after the conference.
Ms. Tao has been working with Elysees for many years, and they’ve always had a good time working together. A few months ago, she even visited the factory in Berlin with Ms. Piech. Ms. Tao is very interested in the upcoming Leopard series that Elysees is going to launch.
Song Yi quickly spoke. The woman on the other end of the phone politely waited for him to finish before gently saying,
I’ll let Ms. Piech know about this after the meeting.
Song Yi helplessly hung up the phone with a depressed expression.
In fact, everyone knew that what he was doing now was useless.
The fact that the news about Jiang se and Elysees could not be kept under wraps until now and Tao cen found out about it meant that the discussion was almost over. Both parties were interested in it.
The people around Tao cen could guess this. The manager and assistant were a little depressed.
In contrast, Tao cen, who could have been snatched from her plate, was very calm. After Song Yi hung up, she didn’t even mention that Elysees had the intention of adding a sports car spokesperson. Instead, she asked, ”
“How’s the preparation of my gown coming along?”
the grace of the times ” was hosting its charity night in mid-May, and many celebrities, business and political figures were invited to attend. Tao cen’s focus had been overseas for the past few years, so she spent most of her time abroad every year. If she wasn’t filming, she would be discussing advertising endorsement contracts. She had not attended a charity night for a few years, and only her manager handled these things for her.
This year, when she was in China, she received an invitation from ‘the times’. After she accepted it, the team had been preparing for it.
She didn’t need to worry about these things. Song Yi helplessly nodded.
“I’m ready.” He was a little unwilling and brought up the old matter again.
Ms. Tao, why don’t you give Ms. Piech a call yourself? you’ve been the spokesperson for the cars that the Elysees family has launched every few years in the past ten years.
Tao cen’s elbows were on the armrests of his chair, and his fingers were supporting his face. He smiled and shook his head, suppressing his emotions in the bottom of his heart.
“No need,”
If the people from Elysees felt that her image and aura were still suitable for Elysees ‘car, Piech would still reject Xia Chaoqun even if she did not make the call.
Once Piech was convinced by Xia Chaoqun that it would be beneficial for the sales of the new leopard sports car launched by elisees if they had a new spokesperson, she would not be able to change Piech’s mind even if she called him as Song Yi had suggested.
Tao cen had been able to maintain a ten-year friendship with Pieh largely because of her tactfulness and intelligence.
Although Song Yi had already guessed her answer, he still felt helpless when he heard her say this.
“Then we’re just going to let it go like this?”
Tao cen lowered his eyes to hide the ambition in his eyes.
“Of course not.”
Jiang se had also received an invitation to the charity banquet organized by “the grace of the times. before she attended the hundred Flowers Art Award, she had to attend the charity event. This was because, apart from inviting celebrities and famous people to promote their charity, the banquet organized by” the grace of the times “had also invited Mr. CapMan, the person-in-charge of Steinway’s China region.
In recent years, Jiang se and the Steinway piano store had been working closely together. First, they became acquainted because of “the 99th love letter “. Then, because Steinway piano store had invited Jiang se to their 30th-anniversary celebration in China, she became acquainted with Ms. Fedarer and was awarded the endorsement deal for the watch in China.
Ever since then, Xia Chaoqun had been trying his best to maintain the relationship between Jiang se and Steinway. He also wanted Jiang se to look for opportunities to work with Steinway.
