Inside a local teahouse not far from the exhibition hall.
Amelia Bright asked for a pot of flower tea and calmly poured a cup for both herself and Simon.
“So you actually followed me here from the beginning? I’m not wrong?”
Simon flipped through the picture book in his hand, looking a little unhappy.
After revealing her identity at the exhibition hall, Amelia Bright had directly told Simon about her intention and cooperation.
“If I said no, Mr. Simon wouldn’t believe me, right?”
“Hardly.”
“Putting all that aside, what does Mr. Simon think of my proposed collaboration?”
“Your work is indeed very good, but I have already reported to the headquarters, the Austin jewelry is no longer in our inspection list, with you as a designer, it does not make me change my impression on the Austin.”
“I didn’t make myself clear, Mr. Simon, I’m not here to negotiate with you on behalf of the Austin, I’m here on behalf of IM, and this album I’m showing you, all the pieces are owned by IM, and have nothing to do with the Austin.”
“IM?” Simon was slightly stunned, “I’m sorry, I haven’t heard of such a company.”
“Understandably, IM has only been established for two months, although it has a business registration, but it is not really a company, it only has one store now, it is considered a studio.”
“What?” Simon’s face instantly changed, put down the picture book to reveal an unbelievable look, “Miss Bright, are you kidding me? A company that was just established two months ago, do you think coco will cooperate with such a company?”
“Yes, im not qualified, but before you jump to conclusions I would like to ask you a question.” Amelia Bright said calmly, “If now, coco’s two chief designers set up a new company, will you choose not to work with them because their company’s qualifications are not enough?”
At that, Simon froze for a moment and then frowned, “What makes you think that the designers of this company, oh no, just one studio, have the caliber of masters?”
“The work.”
Amelia Bright said with conviction, “We don’t rely on any qualifications or contacts, we only speak on the basis of our work. The album I gave you is just a small part of our current work, and I think it’s almost the same direction as the cooperation Coco is seeking.
“What advantage?”
“coco’s arrival, and IM will be equal, become equal and co-prosperous partners, not just a certain series under the banner, the name I have thought of, as long as the cooperation is confirmed, IM brand can directly change its name to IM. coco.”
This one sentence touched Simon.
There are many jewelry companies in China, small enterprises designers are not enough, large enterprises but refused to their original brand by coco’s overshadowing, even the Austin so sincere, but also willing to contribute only a joint series of products, so about the localization of coco and the integration of local partner brands is not an easy task.
“Miss Bright, you are a master negotiator.”
After receiving such a comment from Simon, Amelia Bright knew she had made a deal.
“Thank you, I’m sure we’ll be great partners.”
“I need to visit the studio you mentioned before I can decide.”
“I think you’ll like it.”
Amelia Bright took a sip of her tea and a confident smile surfaced on her face.
Simon’s main reason for coming to the Yuebei Jewelry Show was to find coco’s Country Z district partner, so after Amelia Bright proposed cooperation, he went back to Hounslow directly in the afternoon.
Simon was still amazed that Amelia Bright had informed Danna Keller in advance that she would drive to pick her up, “Miss Bright, you are really confident, are you so sure I will listen to you and go to IM?”
“Mr. Simon, we have an old saying in Country Z, it’s called know yourself and know your enemy, meaning that if you know each other well enough, you will definitely win, and for you, I really put a lot of effort to know.”
“Oh?” Simon showed an interested look, “Then I really need to sit down and talk again sometime in the future as well.”
“Sure.”
After Simon got into the car, Amelia Bright gave Danna Keller a few words of explanation and then saw the car leave Miyun.
Simon didn’t ask much about the fact that Amelia Bright was hiding her identity and couldn’t show up with herself, he was a very well read and gentlemanly man who did a great job of respecting other people’s secrets.
By sending Simon away, Amelia Bright’s purpose for this trip was complete, and the plan went more smoothly than she had expected.
The rest of the day, she walked around the town of Miyun, walking deep into an old mansion, her footsteps grew heavy.
The black wooden door had a plaque that read “Cheng Residence” and looked brand new, so she could see that it had been painted and taken care of regularly.
Amelia Bright stared at it for a while, and when no one was around, she took out a key from a crack under the doorway and opened the brass lock on the door.
“The sound of the door opening was like pushing open a dusty history. The moss was sparse on the green stone floor, the grass was lush inside the courtyard, and there was a bunch of strawberries rolling under the acacia tree, and the red fruit looked very bright.
Through the courtyard is the main hall, which is locked with the old furniture of her mother’s mother’s Cheng family and Amelia Bright’s memories of the past.
After her grandmother’s death, the old Cheng family home was no longer lived in, and her father hired a special person to take care of it, but it was only once or twice a year to clean it.
“Miss Bright, it’s not proper to barge into someone’s house in the middle of the day, is it?”
A familiar voice sounded behind her, and Amelia Bright turned around with a pause.
Bohdi Olson, dressed in a light casual outfit with a white t-shirt and black pants, stood in the door and eyed her suspiciously.
“It’s you?” Amelia Bright sighed in relief and explained, “I just thought the yard looked nice, so I came in to take a look.”
“So you also thought the steps at the entrance were pretty nice so you squatted down to take a look, and then you thought the hole at the bottom of the steps was pretty nice, so you took a look and fished out a key to open the door?”
“You followed me?”
“Yes, I followed you.” Bohdi Olson said bluntly, “I suspected that you were approaching Emily Guan with an ulterior motive, so I followed you.”
“So what did you find out?” Amelia Bright remained calm and even showed a smile, “Just found out that I entered this mansion? What does this mansion have to do with Emily Guan? Why are you so concerned about her?”
Bohdi Olson’s face suddenly tightened and he froze for a moment and said unhappily.
“You know that this house is Lucy’s grandmother’s house, right? What exactly is your relationship with Lucy Chambers?”
Amelia Bright raised an eyebrow and said.
“Guess?”
