Bryant Park in Manhattan, New York.
This is the Saturday of February 26, the penultimate day of the New York station of the autumn and winter fashion week 2000. The backstage of an emerging fashion brand named Skelton Lee's show is approaching. When a news comes from the front desk, there is a stir here.
Simon Westeros is here.
Brand founder Skelton Lee quietly went to the front stage show to say hello to the big man, and completely confirmed that it was not a rumor. A group of big and small hemp beans in the background played a 12 point spirit. Some people went to the dressing table to make up, some wanted to change clothes temporarily, and others couldn't help but want to go directly to the front desk to contact someone, Unfortunately, it was blocked by the Weijia bodyguard team who temporarily took over the security of the show and returned unhappily.
Skelton Lee is a tall and beautiful asian girl. She is 33 years old. She was born in Hong Kong and graduated from the Royal Academy of art. After coming to New York to work hard, she established her own fashion studio five years ago.
Because the personal design concept integrates eastern traditional culture and western modern art, it happened that in recent years, there was a Chinese fever in Europe and America, and the brand took advantage of the trend, and was acquired by the current fashion industry giant melisandra group last year.
However, if melisandra's Gucci, Bulgari and other brands are regarded as "aircraft carriers", the little Skelton Lee can only be regarded as a small gunboat without drainage of 1000 tons in this fashion giant system. Skelton never thought that it is well known that the big man standing behind melisandra will come to watch his brand show.
Seeing that the backstage models are more or less calm and eager to try, Skelton Lee inevitably looks forward to hearing some personal gossip about a big man.
In this hot atmosphere, the time came at 4:15 p.m., the music sounded and the show officially began.
Standing at the backstage exit, I personally finished the final inspection. Seeing Paulina preskova, the fashion circle 'Audrey Hepburn', who was in charge of the opening, Skelton quickly turned to Angela lindwar, who ranked second. I was worried. I didn't know if the big man would like his design.
As we all know, Simon westero is very interested in Chinese culture. However, in order to better fit the popular aesthetics of the west, Skelton's design this year further compresses the Oriental elements.
Skelton Lee is a very realistic girl. She thinks that westerners' interest in oriental culture cannot be too long and profound. If they want their own brand to grow, they must do as the Romans do after all.
For example, the elements of cheongsam she liked to use in her initial design were highly praised. However, the reality is that Western women with large skeleton are not suitable for cheongsam.
So worried about gain and loss, it is inevitable to have some fantasies.
If... Maybe one day in the future, our brand can rent a large manor as a show on long island like CK, and the models in charge of the show are all big brands. Instead of now, we can only hold a walk show in the tent in Bryant Park with many small brands.
I just don't know whether the big man after the show will send an invitation to her, and whether she should keep the appointment, or how to deal with her boyfriend who has a good family background and works as a senior at Citi if westlow wants to go further and maintain a long-term relationship.
Fortunately, the other party went to London on business this time.
Show reception hall.
The guests on both sides of the T-stage obviously felt that the attention of the models on the stage was inclined, but they were not surprised. Everyone already knew that there was a big man sitting somewhere in the guest table, and even they were thinking about how to talk to Simon westero later.
After all, it is a small brand. Even if it is under the command of melisandra, it is not a key support object. The guest lineup can be imagined.
After Simon enters the arena, only Sarah Jessica Parker, the heroine of sex and the city, can be known. Sophia introduced to Simon in advance. Skelton Lee brand is mainly for urban women, so this TV star in line with the brand style obviously belongs to the kind of paying for the show.
At the beginning of the show, Simon can name three or four models on the T-stage, including Paulina preskova and Angela lindwar.
Of course, it doesn't matter because it's just for fun.
I watched the rocket launch of Falcon 9 yesterday. Simon spent the night in Florida and flew to New York this morning.
I decided to rest at the weekend and picked a show at will.
In the last row on the left side of the runway, Simon sits in a corner, next to grace krepp.
Originally, Sophia Fici also said that she would come together. In the morning, she received a temporary message that there was something urgent to deal with in Europe. Regarding the Hermes brand that melisandra had been quietly encroaching on her shares recently, Sophia temporarily flew to France.
Over the years, melisandra's brands of fashion, jewelry, watches, furniture, red wine, etc. have reached more than 80. Simon has not paid attention to the Skelton Lee brand, which is not even a "ship", but a "boat". Therefore, Simon does not know the reason why the founder Skelton Lee chose this small brand, It is indeed an oriental element.
Looking at the design style that didn't fit in with Sophia's previous introduction, my mind turned a little, and I probably understood the idea of the oriental girl who just came to say hello. However, there is no doubt about the talent of the other party. Even if the Oriental elements are compressed, the fashion on the T-stage is still pleasing to the eye. Simon just appreciates it and doesn't have the intention of special intervention.
Grace pasted it next to Simon. Sophia's temporary trip surprised her to be alone with the little man. She was very happy.
I was enjoying the feeling of snuggling up to him while quietly enjoying the really good fashion on the T-stage. When I saw an Asian model, apparently in order to attract someone's attention, the shoulder strap "accidentally" slipped down and directly exposed half of his chest, I couldn't help rolling my eyes.
Too clumsy.
However, grace tilted her head to Simon's ear: "it's very good. It's my company's call to you at night."
Simon had a vague impression of the model. He seemed to be a girl who appeared in the elite world model competition the year before last. After listening to Grace's words, he smiled and turned his head slightly and asked, "Japanese girl?"
"Well," grace nodded, remembered and smiled, "why don't you like Japanese girls?"
Simon didn't say any more reason to laugh, but whispered, "I don't like Japanese very much."
"That's not a problem," said Grace. "I'll tell them to speak English."
Simon subconsciously changed some classic Japanese words in Ivy's small film into English. He still smiled and shook his head: "forget it."
Grace was very interested: "well, let them not talk, okay?"
Simon can't help imagining.
This, cherry blossom dumb girl theme night?
Um
Grace glanced at the man's expression, understood it, smiled and said, "let me arrange it for you?"
"Forget this weekend," Simon said. "Make time."
Grace, write it down.
The fifteen minute show will soon end.
Simon didn't leave in advance. After the curtain call here, he exchanged greetings with the guest models in front of and behind the stage. Grace specially called the Japanese model and introduced it. The girl's name is Qingyuan Lisha. She is 20 years old, with a petite face and pure temperament, but she has a height of 183cm.
However, considering the little action of dropping the shoulder strap on the T-stage, the girl looks innocent and harmless to humans and animals, which is obviously just a disguise.
In other words, in the past year, the most high-end and popular gossip in the fashion circle did not appear in any media, but spread widely, that is, several big models accidentally got pregnant and gave birth to children because of a super tycoon.
After all, some of the six women can stand to keep a low profile, while others inevitably want to show off. Moreover, although one of them gave birth to a child, there were some changes, which almost caused an accident.
These are not mentioned, but a woman who gave birth to a big man's child is rising to the sky step by step.
Step by step!
Therefore, seeing that a Japanese girl attracted Simon westero's special attention because of some very unsophisticated tricks in the circle, other models present regretted it.
I knew, I knew
Unfortunately, this opportunity has been missed after all.
For simple communication, Simon refused Paulina preskova's express inquiry about whether she was free in the evening, declined Skelton Lee's hint of inviting her to have coffee, ignored Angela lindwar's sad expression of "little fox", and of course, there were more disappointed eyes. He still left with grace.
It's close to 5 p.m. and there's melisandra's official party of New York Fashion Week in the evening. I'm also going to join the fun. Before that, it's dinner time.
It's a rare world for two. Back to the top floor mansion of westero building, grace took Simon to cook together, which will make it more atmosphere.
Simon didn't refuse.
Both of them are the kind of people who rarely enter the kitchen. It's more than enough to prepare a dinner.
She drove away the other waitresses who wanted to help and discussed. Grace took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and planned to make a cream mushroom soup. She said to Simon who was processing a piece of beef: "I saw the report about your rocket company. I'm curious. The recycling technology seems very powerful, but it doesn't seem to be useful in practice?"
Simon sliced the beef, took the seasoning next to it and began to pickle it. Wen Yan casually explained: "take yesterday's Falcon 9 as an example. For rockets with the same load, the quotations of other aerospace companies are around us $100 million, and we can make the cost less than US $50 million..."
Grace opens and breaks: "I've seen all this in the news. I also know that if we can realize mature and multiple recycling, the cost of Falcon 9 can be reduced to less than 10 million or even less than 5 million, and even the fuel cost of each launch may only need hundreds of thousands of dollars in the future. The question is, is there so much rocket launch demand in the world? Just like the Federal Space Shuttle, when In the initial design, it is planned to launch 30 times a year, but now it is not necessarily three times a year? "
Simon listened to grace and realized that women had obviously done a lot of homework.
Smiled. Simon waited for grace to finish, Connection: "The space shuttle was marginalized. The Challenger incident was a cause, but the key was the disintegration of the Soviet Union. The confrontation between the East and the West disappeared, and the Federation and many other countries in the world lost their motivation to continuously explore space and pursue the limits of science and technology. I told you that the 3G plan is the continuation of the limits of science and technology. Perhaps I have my own opinion on the 3G plan Selfishness, but if it can succeed, it must be of great benefit to mankind. Otherwise, when the existing scientific and technological productivity cannot meet mankind's continuous demand for resources, the world will only reincarnate in the cycle of war, recovery and war again, as in the past thousands of years, and even the complete self destruction of mankind. "
Grace added water to the soup pot, lit the fire, and began to clean the mushroom just taken out of the refrigerator. This time she didn't interrupt, nodded and smiled: "then, when the launch cost of a heavy rocket is reduced to millions or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, what are you going to do?"
Simon didn't need to think about it. He quickly said, "it's already planned. The first step is to build a space city of 10000 tons, instead of the 400 tons of the international space station in recent years."
Grace paused, obviously surprised, and looked at the man next to her: "the 400 ton scale of the international space station has a budget of $50 billion. For a 10000 ton space city, are you going to spend $1 trillion?"
Simon shook his head: "The $50 billion budget of the international space station is only the initial plan. According to the investment trend officially implemented in the past two years, the next $100 billion may not be enough. However, the budget of the international space station is straightforward, and there are too many gray areas that waste money. Like the heavy Falcon 9 in our experiment, why do other space companies launch an equivalent space shuttle Carrying rockets costs hundreds of millions of dollars? Because there are too many stakeholders to draw blood from it, and on my side, just like SpaceX, I will try my best to produce its own parts. Even if the planned space city cannot avoid external procurement, I will certainly not give it to thousands of suppliers around the world, but this can save a large part of the cost. "
In Simon's view, the construction cost of the international space station, like the military expenditure of the United States, is too large.
One of the most direct evidence is that there was a set of data on China's space station, which may not be accurate, but it is also enough to make a comparison. The total cost before and after the international space station is 160 billion US dollars, equivalent to about 120 billion yuan. Even if the design volume of China's space station is only 60 tons, the cost in the past few decades is only about 50 billion yuan. Even if the subsequent operation and maintenance costs are added, it is still less than 100 billion yuan, which is still less than a fraction of the international space station.
Why?
The key is that there are too many stakeholders in the international space station.
This is not even the most serious.
Later, the situation further evolved into that NASA kept throwing money, and the contractor received money. After a meal of operation, he said he couldn't do it.
You have to pay more!
As for whether you can get things done with more money?
This can't be guaranteed. After all, scientific research is a great risk.
In fact, to put it bluntly, various stakeholders have been too lazy to cover up.
So the U.S. government had to hand over some projects to emerging private companies like SpaceX, which can do things.
In any case, Simon would not allow this to happen to his family.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Therefore, Simon does not know the reason why the founder Skelton Lee chose this small brand, It is indeed an oriental element.Looking at the design style that didn't fit in with Sophia's previous introduction, my mind turned a little, and I probably understood the idea of the oriental girl who just came to say hello. However, there is no doubt about the talent of the other party. Even if the Oriental elements are compressed, the fashion on the T-stage is still pleasing to the eye. Simon just appreciates it and doesn't have the intention of special intervention.Grace pasted it next to Simon. Sophia's temporary trip surprised her to be alone with the little man. She was very happy.I was enjoying the feeling of snuggling up to him while quietly enjoying the really good fashion on the T-stage. When I saw an Asian model, apparently in order to attract someone's attention, the shoulder strap "accidentally" slipped down and directly exposed half of his chest, I couldn't help rolling my eyes.Too clumsy.However, grace tilted her head to Simon's ear: "it's very good. It's my company's call to you at night."Simon had a vague impression of the model. He seemed to be a girl who appeared in the elite world model competition the year before last. After listening to Grace's words, he smiled and turned his head slightly and asked, "Japanese girl?""Well," grace nodded, remembered and smiled, "why don't you like Japanese girls?"Simon didn't say any more reason to laugh, but whispered, "I don't like Japanese very much.""That's not a problem," said Grace. "I'll tell them to speak English."Simon subconsciously changed some classic Japanese words in Ivy's small film into English. He still smiled and shook his head: "forget it."Grace was very interested: "well, let them not talk, okay?"Simon can't help imagining.This, cherry blossom dumb girl theme night?UmGrace glanced at the man's expression, understood it, smiled and said, "let me arrange it for you?""Forget this weekend," Simon said. "Make time."Grace, write it down.The fifteen minute show will soon end.Simon didn't leave in advance. After the curtain call here, he exchanged greetings with the guest models in front of and behind the stage. Grace specially called the Japanese model and introduced it. The girl's name is Qingyuan Lisha. She is 20 years old, with a petite face and pure temperament, but she has a height of 183cm.However, considering the little action of dropping the shoulder strap on the T-stage, the girl looks innocent and harmless to humans and animals, which is obviously just a disguise.In other words, in the past year, the most high-end and popular gossip in the fashion circle did not appear in any media, but spread widely, that is, several big models accidentally got pregnant and gave birth to children because of a super tycoon.After all, some of the six women can stand to keep a low profile, while others inevitably want to show off. Moreover, although one of them gave birth to a child, there were some changes, which almost caused an accident.These are not mentioned, but a woman who gave birth to a big man's child is rising to the sky step by step.Step by step!Therefore, seeing that a Japanese girl attracted Simon westero's special attention because of some very unsophisticated tricks in the circle, other models present regretted it.I knew, I knewUnfortunately, this opportunity has been missed after all.For simple communication, Simon refused Paulina preskova's express inquiry about whether she was free in the evening, declined Skelton Lee's hint of inviting her to have coffee, ignored Angela lindwar's sad expression of "little fox", and of course, there were more disappointed eyes. He still left with grace.It's close to 5 p.m. and there's melisandra's official party of New York Fashion Week in the evening. I'm also going to join the fun. Before that, it's dinner time.It's a rare world for two. Back to the top floor mansion of westero building, grace took Simon to cook together, which will make it more atmosphere.Simon didn't refuse.Both of them are the kind of people who rarely enter the kitchen. It's more than enough to prepare a dinner.She drove away the other waitresses who wanted to help and discussed. Grace took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and planned to make a cream mushroom soup. She said to Simon who was processing a piece of beef: "I saw the report about your rocket company. I'm curious. The recycling technology seems very powerful, but it doesn't seem to be useful in practice?"Simon sliced the beef, took the seasoning next to it and began to pickle it. Wen Yan casually explained: "take yesterday's Falcon 9 as an example. For rockets with the same load, the quotations of other aerospace companies are around us $100 million, and we can make the cost less than US $50 million..."Grace opens and breaks: "I've seen all this in the news. I also know that if we can realize mature and multiple recycling, the cost of Falcon 9 can be reduced to less than 10 million or even less than 5 million, and even the fuel cost of each launch may only need hundreds of thousands of dollars in the future. The question is, is there so much rocket launch demand in the world? Just like the Federal Space Shuttle, when In the initial design, it is planned to launch 30 times a year, but now it is not necessarily three times a year? "Simon listened to grace and realized that women had obviously done a lot of homework.Smiled. Simon waited for grace to finish, Connection: "The space shuttle was marginalized. The Challenger incident was a cause, but the key was the disintegration of the Soviet Union. The confrontation between the East and the West disappeared, and the Federation and many other countries in the world lost their motivation to continuously explore space and pursue the limits of science and technology. I told you that the 3G plan is the continuation of the limits of science and technology. Perhaps I have my own opinion on the 3G plan Selfishness, but if it can succeed, it must be of great benefit to mankind. Otherwise, when the existing scientific and technological productivity cannot meet mankind's continuous demand for resources, the world will only reincarnate in the cycle of war, recovery and war again, as in the past thousands of years, and even the complete self destruction of mankind. "Grace added water to the soup pot, lit the fire, and began to clean the mushroom just taken out of the refrigerator. This time she didn't interrupt, nodded and smiled: "then, when the launch cost of a heavy rocket is reduced to millions or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, what are you going to do?"Simon didn't need to think about it. He quickly said, "it's already planned. The first step is to build a space city of 10000 tons, instead of the 400 tons of the international space station in recent years."Grace paused, obviously surprised, and looked at the man next to her: "the 400 ton scale of the international space station has a budget of $50 billion. For a 10000 ton space city, are you going to spend $1 trillion?"Simon shook his head: "The $50 billion budget of the international space station is only the initial plan. According to the investment trend officially implemented in the past two years, the next $100 billion may not be enough. However, the budget of the international space station is straightforward, and there are too many gray areas that waste money. Like the heavy Falcon 9 in our experiment, why do other space companies launch an equivalent space shuttle Carrying rockets costs hundreds of millions of dollars? Because there are too many stakeholders to draw blood from it, and on my side, just like SpaceX, I will try my best to produce its own parts. Even if the planned space city cannot avoid external procurement, I will certainly not give it to thousands of suppliers around the world, but this can save a large part of the cost. "In Simon's view, the construction cost of the international space station, like the military expenditure of the United States, is too large.One of the most direct evidence is that there was a set of data on China's space station, which may not be accurate, but it is also enough to make a comparison. The total cost before and after the international space station is 160 billion US dollars, equivalent to about 120 billion yuan. Even if the design volume of China's space station is only 60 tons, the cost in the past few decades is only about 50 billion yuan. Even if the subsequent operation and maintenance costs are added, it is still less than 100 billion yuan, which is still less than a fraction of the international space station.Why?The key is that there are too many stakeholders in the international space station.This is not even the most serious.Later, the situation further evolved into that NASA kept throwing money, and the contractor received money. After a meal of operation, he said he couldn't do it.You have to pay more!As for whether you can get things done with more money?This can't be guaranteed. After all, scientific research is a great risk.In fact, to put it bluntly, various stakeholders have been too lazy to cover up.So the U.S. government had to hand over some projects to emerging private companies like SpaceX, which can do things.In any case, Simon would not allow this to happen to his family.
