The great temper of big housekeeper can not tolerate mediocrity

Patrizio Bertelli is tall, with white hair and a pair of black frame glasses on his hawk nose.

As the CEO of Prada group, Patrizio Bertelli can be called a "big housekeeper" and has a lot of control over the company.

Group executives evaluation, Patrizio Bertelli is quite attractive, working tirelessly, knowing the company well.

From the stitching of shoes to the color of Prada show wall, he has the final say from hiring employees to ordering the number of leather needed for a handbag.

However, some people think he is too strong and not allowed to delegate power.

Several executives had left because of clashes with him.

When he did not find the right person, he went into battle himself.

Patrizio Bertelli is known for his violent temper.

When he inspected the renovation of a Miu Miu store in Manhattan, New York, in 1997, he felt that a customer's interview lens was "making customers look fat and bloated." so he stretched out his hand to smash the mirror. Someone was parking in the parking lot of the Prada group. He smashed several car taillights to show that he was not full.

Recalling the car crash experience, he laughed heartily: "I enjoy that feeling."

Gian Giacomo Ferraris, chief executive of Versace, has worked in Prada group.

The management did not dare to stand by himself without his permission, and few people in the company dared to contradict him.

"This is the law of the jungle," Ferraris said. "He has high expectations of himself and is not naturally demanding of others.

Otherwise you will meet his standards or he will fire you. "

Miuccia Prada advised her husband to get rid of his bad temper, but Patrizio Bertelli thought he was right. Some people could not adapt to the high-pressure environment of the company.

"I can't stand being mediocre and incompetent," he said.

Patrizio Bertelli and Miuccia Prada

"Intuition, I rely on reason," she said.

In 1986, Patrizio Bertelli urged Prada to open its first brand store in New York, and continued to encourage its wife to expand the field of design.

Prada brand reputation is now in the ascendant, Patrizio Bertelli is indispensable.

"He is much more radical than me," Prada said. "I always get inspiration with him."

She told the Wall Street Journal reporter that a husband and wife get along with each other: "there is a so-called three agreement between us.

If he tells me one thing more than three times, I will weigh it carefully. "

As a designer, Miuccia Prada is more interested in pure art, and is more interested in sponsoring talented contemporary artists. He is rather disdain for fashion.

In an interview with the media, she once said that fashion is fun but frivolous, too commercial, and contemporary art is sincere and dignified and full of intelligence.

Patrizio Bertelli, which is highly sensitive to the market, believes that creativity and profitability are equally important if companies want to be successful.

He urged Miuccia Prada to meet Hollywood celebrities to develop marketing channels and make full use of the Internet to interact with fans in order to enhance brand influence.

In this regard, Miuccia Prada once was not disdain, but was deeply skeptical.

Two people even argued fiercely about it.

But in the end, Miuccia Prada still succumbed to her husband's business philosophy.

"I was always guilty of chasing fashion, but now I realize that fashion is a creative work," she said. "Money is not the ultimate goal, but we must make profits if everything is to run normally."

Prada's love and quarrel is well known in the circle, but this does not affect the tacit understanding of the two men.

Patrizio Bertelli once said, "I am just as good as Miuccia Prada in catching up with the trend.

By intuition, she reasoned and thought more organized.

In spite of the different ways, we often travel the same way. "

"Great experience of life" - full investment

The Prada couple have two sons, the oldest son Lorenzo is 21 years old, the youngest son Giulio is 19 years old.

When children were young, two couples lived in Arezzo most of the time. After their children went to school, they moved the Prada headquarters back to Milan.

Prada couple live in the center of Milan, the apartment is spacious and comfortable, collecting a large number of contemporary works of art.

There are more than 8000 books in private libraries, mainly in architecture, art and design books.

Miuccia Prada said, "our life is home and factory. This is a huge fortune for the company."

Patrizio Bertelli said that children are now a window to understand young consumers: "you must pay attention to young people.

If you can't follow the footsteps of the world, you will be left behind by fashion trends.

Two couples said they never forced their children to do business. Now it is too early to talk about whether they join the Prada family business.

"If they want to join, I think they'd better start from factories, just like sailors must know how to build a ship," Patrizio Bertelli said.

Prada's 2010 autumn winter men's conference held in March was "family mobilization": Miuccia Prada was dressed in blue Scotland skirts, knee socks and heels, and was busy in the background. Patrizio Bertelli, as usual, helped his wife in the stage sound and light control room; Lorenzo and juliot were interested in putting on Prada jeans for the press conference.

Before returning to Arezzo, Patrizio Bertelli and reporters had dinner at a local restaurant.

He usually likes to talk, but when he talks about his feelings with his wife, he is still shy.

"We get along on equal terms.

Maybe I am more curious about history.

Miuccia Prada is very powerful and very cute, "he said with a sip of red wine." despite the dispute, Miuccia Prada and I have invested heavily in my past 30 years.

Living together, working and setting up a family is a great experience of life.

Prada business: don't treat the public as an idiot.

Prada bought several small fashion brands in the 90s "M & a boom" and bought some of the other fashion companies.

Patrizio Bertelli believes that fashion brands are diversified, but they should be careful.

At the same time, the development of a lower price sub line brand will help expand customer base and increase sales.

Many European luxury companies have been looking for overseas manufacturers in the past few years to reduce production costs.

For example, Italy Valentino, France CELINE and other brands have moved handbags and clothing factories to lower labor costs in Eastern Europe, North Africa and Asia.

Brands are often low-key when they move abroad, lest they lose many of their fans by losing the "Italy made" brand.

Patrizio Bertelli is undisguised about the strategy of relocation, and is convinced that consumers can rely on products wherever they are manufactured.

He believes that the real problem is that different countries and regions have different standards for making laws of origin.

Mr. and Mrs. Prada do not agree that some companies mark the place of sale as a place of origin.

Patrizio Bertelli said: "if the product is produced in Italy, we will mark" made in Italy ". If it is produced in Turkey, we will label it honestly.

Others are not so frank, but Miuccia Prada and I never regard the public as idiots.

At present, Prada has 13 manufacturing plants in Italy, employing 3500 workers.

Prada brand 98% products are made in Italy, "Miao Mu" brand 50% of the handbags are produced in Romania and Turkey, and the sports brand "Luna Rosa" 70% products are produced in Vietnam.
