纽约(New York City,简称NYC),位于美国纽约州东南部大西洋沿岸,是美国第一大城市及第一大港口,纽约都市圈为世界上最大的城市圈之一,与英国伦敦、中国香港并称为“纽伦港”(Nylonkong)。纽约与伦敦并列为全世界最顶级的国际大都市。2018年11月,纽约被GaWC评为Alpha 级世界一线城市,2018年,生产总值已达到8017亿美元。纽约在商业和金融的方面也发挥着巨大的影响力。纽约的金融区以曼哈顿下城及华尔街为龙头,被称为世界的金融中心,世界500强企业中,有17家企业的总部位于纽约。纽约证券交易所是世界第二大证交所,它曾是最大的证券交易所,直到1996年它的交易量被纳斯达克超过。纽约时代广场位于百老汇剧院区枢纽,被称作“世界的十字路口”,亦是世界娱乐产业的中心之一。曼哈顿的唐人街是西半球最为密集的华人集中地。纽约还拥有哥伦比亚大学、纽约大学、洛克菲勒大学等名校。纽约地铁和纽新航港局过哈德逊河捷运(PATH)所组成的纽约地下铁路系统是世界上最为发达的城市轨道交通系统之一,提供一日24小时、一周七日的服务。而长岛铁路,大都会北方铁路,新泽西捷运和美铁则共同组成了纽约的城际和通勤铁路系统,这也是上官茉为什么将K.sing的总部设在纽约,在纽约这样的地方,竞争很大,但是也更能将一个品牌打出好名声,纽约缺设计的专店吗?缺一个优秀的设计师吗?答案当然是不缺,虽然上官茉笔下的作品足够让人眼前一亮,但是也有许多人认为她笔下的作品还缺少一些灵性,但是在短短的三年内,上官茉就将K.sing品牌成为了众人追捧的对象,无疑是付出了巨大的努力。
上官茉有些无奈的笑了笑说到:“Okay, I know you're not chatting with me today。Let's talk about anything。It's convenient for me to talk about things here。And even if you want to chat with me,you won't hold such a large group of people。(好了,我知道今天你找我不是闲聊的,有什么事就直接说吧,我这边方便谈事儿。况且就算你要找我闲聊,也不会拉着这么大一群人的。)”
黛尔斯有些尴尬的低了低头,动了动手指纠结的说到:“Well,there's one thing I don't know if I should tell you,but I've been struggling for a long time to tell you,and it's also about the development of K. sing。(是这样的,有一件事我不知道该不该和你说,但是我纠结了很久还是打算告诉你,而且这也关乎K.sing的发展。”
上官茉想了想说到:“Well,let's talk about anything straight, don't get bogged down,besides,our relationship is so good that we don't need to see outside。You don't want to tell me you want to quit K. sing,do you?(嗯,有什么事情就直说吧,不用纠结的,况且我们的关系这么好不用见外的。你不会是想告诉我你想退出K.sing吧?)”略带调侃的一句话,瞬间缓解了这场会议的尴尬,似乎就像是一场融洽的交谈。
黛尔斯被这一句话成功的逗笑了,看着上官茉没有丝毫压力的说到:“No! no, no! it won't.K. sing is your heart and soul. I won't leave it or you. In fact,it's not a big deal. There's a problem with our fabric suppliers。Our latest batch of products just got stuck at this most important level。Originally, I didn't want to disturb you when you just graduated from school and came back to participate in the competition,but finally I thought about it and wanted to tell you that K。sing is for all of us, after all,these things you must know,so after a long tangle,I called you all to make this video call。 And every cloth screening is done by you, if I change the supplier is not very good,so I want to ask your opinion, see how to do。(不不不,这个是不会的,K.sing是你的心血也是我的心血,我不会丢下它不管也不会丢下你不管。其实也不算是一件大事,就是我们布料的供应商出现了一点问题,我们最新一批设计的产品刚好卡在了这个最重要的关卡。本来你刚从学校毕业回国参加比赛我是不想来打扰你的,但是最后想了想还是要告诉你,毕竟K.sing是我们大家的,这些事情也是你必须要知道的,所以纠结了许久,我才召集大家打了这个视频电话。而且每一次布料的筛选都是由你来做的,如果我贸然换掉供应商也是不太好的,所以想问一问你的意见,看看怎么办。)”
上官茉本来还以为只是设计出了一点小问题,却没有想到是布料供应商的问题,立刻从凳子上站起来说到:“What? How is it possible?(什么?怎么可能?)”
坐在黛尔斯旁边的露娜点了点头说到:“Yes, I know it's incredible, but that's what happened。We also went to the supplier for consultation, but they were rejected for other reasons and never met our people at all。(是的,我知道这非常的不可思议,但是这就是发生了,我们也曾去找供应商协商,但都是被其他理由给拒绝了,根本就不接见我们的人。)”
上官茉捏了捏眉心说到:“Okay, I know,I will fly back as soon as possible。 As for the design draft of the new season, all the proofs can be proofed first。As for the final production and confirmation of the fabric, I will make a decision when I come back。 As for this supplier ,there must be something wrong with it. Let's not worry about it。He signed a contract with us。Once the contract is breached,they will compensate for the liquidated damages。In addition,you send someone to the supplier to see what's wrong。 Remember, don't disturb anyone。(好,我知道了,我会尽快飞回来的,至于新一季的设计稿先全部都做出来,可以打样的全部都先打样出来,至于最后的成产以及布料的确认全都等我回来以后在做决定。至于这个供应商,中间肯定是出了什么问题,大家都先不要着急,他和我们签订了合约,一旦违约,他们会赔偿违约金的,另外,你们再派人去供应商那边看一下,顺便去查查到底是出了什么问题。记住,不要惊动任何人。)”
