Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

Chapter 279: British style

As the capital of China, Beijing is actually quite rich in commodities.

   For example, the Phoenix bicycles purchased by Yang Rui are very popular all over the country, and you may not be able to buy them with money. But at the Friendship Store in Beijing, there are as many Phoenix bicycles as you want, only foreign exchange coupons are needed.

   Brand-name clothing is the same concept. Beijing’s embassy area has stores specifically for foreigners. They not only sell clothing made in China, but also import them from abroad. Many of them are well-known brands from Italy, France, and the United Kingdom, and they sell for hundreds or even thousands of dollars. There is a dazzling array of luxury goods, but the media will not report it, and ordinary Chinese will not consume it.

   Yang Rui found a custom-made clothing store near the British Embassy and asked the elderly tailor in the store to make a full set of fashions for him, focusing on the British style.

  Dark-toned woolen coat, blended with cashmere and silk, is skin-friendly and comfortable, and has an excellent warmth retention effect. The sweaters I used to wear are all replaced with gray and black cashmere sweaters. Unlike wool and cotton wool products, cashmere is inherently difficult to make bright colors, which just meets the expectations of the "organization".

Of course, the comfort of cashmere is unquestionable. Ordinary woolen clothes cannot be worn close to the body. Cashmere clothes are worn next to the body, but they are warmer than wearing a cotton autumn coat, because cashmere is very soft and has excellent properties. Water absorption and breathability, which makes it have the effect of two minus one more than two.

Because of the high international price of cashmere materials, cashmere sweaters were almost extinct in the domestic market in the 1980s. Ordinary people could not even afford woolen woolen coats, let alone woolen sweaters and cashmere sweaters. Just choose the right ones. Color, Yang Rui feels that no one can recognize what he is wearing unless he is a professional.

The composition of    sweatpants and thick long trousers was also replaced by thin cashmere trousers and customized trousers by Yang Rui.

   Suit trousers were more popular in the 1980s. There are many people who wear them. Although the prices vary greatly, it is quite difficult to distinguish them at a glance.

Standing and letting the old tailor measure his figure, he chose the pattern and materials against the drawing. The old tailor said slowly in English: "I can make a set for you first, and the rest will have to wait for the materials to arrive. In about two weeks, each set includes a cashmere sweater and a pair of cashmere pants, a pair of outer trousers, and a small coat. If you want 5 sets, it is 12,000 US dollars. I will give you half a dozen shirts so that you can do it in the spring. Wear them. But, do you really want five identical sets of clothes? You know, the price is the same regardless of whether the style changes."

   "I'm very satisfied with this style. I need five sets of exactly the same. By the way, give me a dozen socks." What Yang Rui wants now is the effect of not changing clothes all year round.

"A pair of cashmere socks is 60 dollars, and a dozen is 720 dollars." The old tailor took out his calculator, added 720 dollars, and said: "You want two coats, each of 2,000 dollars, a total of 16,700 dollars. . The fraction of twenty dollars has been erased, and a half dozen shirts will be given to you."

   "Can I still want you to buy two bags for me?" Yang Rui took out three rolls of dollars, unwrapped them, and handed them to the old tailor. These were taken by Manager Li of Huarui from the Bank of China and passed on to Yang Rui.

   The old tailor smiled and counted out 16,700 dollars, and returned the rest to Yang Rui. In the 1980s, this was a huge sum of money for Europeans and Americans. Ordinary blue-collar workers earned just this much for a year, which was usually consumed by two adults and two or three children.

   An average of US$2,400 per set is enough to buy Armani's ready-to-wear clothing in this era. However, custom clothing has always been not cheap. This is determined by both handwork and materials.

   In China, 16,700 US dollars can be said to be an exaggeration to the sky, nearly 170,000 yuan, which is enough for Yang Rui to buy another ten acres of good land in Zhongguancun and sell it for 20 million yuan around 10 years ago.

   If it is used for daily consumption, US$17,600 is enough for ordinary people to buy several thousand pieces of clothing, or several hundred pieces of Adi’s basic clothing.

   "What kind of bag do you want?" The old tailor put the money away and took out the notepad with a smile. His shop was opened in the embassy area, and he often brought things to the guests who came and went here. Purchasing on behalf of customers is also a necessary strategy to keep the guests.

Yang Rui thought for a while and said, "The fabric is the best, cloth, hemp, or chemical fiber. I want simple colors and fancy styles, practical, and most importantly comfortable. In addition, I want to share with mine. Clothes match."

   "Okay, simple luxury, I understand." The old tailor translated a sentence and said, "What about another bag, what do you want?"

   "The same paragraph will do."

   "Two identical bags?"

   "Yes, exactly the same."

   "I have been in China for two years, and I really don't understand you." The old tailor shook his head and wrote down Yang Rui's request.

   After going out, Yang Rui went to buy two identical belts, two identical scarves, and three pairs of identical leather shoes.

  Belts and scarves are easy to buy, but leather shoes are especially difficult, especially for comfortable and fit leather shoes, you need to try carefully.

   Fortunately, the guests in the embassy area are very diverse, with various lengths and thicknesses of limbs. Finally, Yang Rui found a fit. In order to avoid changing them in the future, he swept all the three pairs in the store.

   Three days later, Yang Rui replaced the whole Adidas and put on a full set of customized clothing without the brand and letters. A total of 20,000 US dollars was spent. Even after 30 years, this is a large number.

   However, compared with Yang Rui’s annual dividend, this money is nothing. Compared with the laboratory funds, 20,000 US dollars is just drizzle...

   After four days, Yang Rui once again walked on the campus of Peking University. He has turned into a simple British-style attire in black and gray and woolen overcoat.

  British style outfit is the most visible figure. With good tailoring and excellent materials, Yang Rui has trained his image as a handsome man for more than a year, and jumped out.

   Although the color is darker and lacks the brightness of sportswear, whether Yang Rui appears in the classroom or on the road, his eye-catching index is only high.

At the weekend’s democratic life meeting, squad leader Liu Anping encountered a new problem. He just finished talking with Yang Rui, and the preparation party member Geng Jian stood up and said, “Yang Rui did change his clothes, but as far as I am concerned, The price may be higher. The coat must be made of woolen cloth. That one costs two to three hundred. The leather shoes and pants are also different from what we wear..."

The monitor Liu Anping was very bored and said, "I have conveyed the conclusion of our last democratic life meeting to classmate Yang Rui, and classmate Yang Rui also did a good job. He changed his clothes in bright colors, and English no longer appeared on the clothes. Letters, this proves that he is actively moving closer to the organization. As for the price of woolen coats mentioned by classmate Geng Jian, I think we need to look at it from two perspectives. First, we should maintain a arduous and simple tradition without extravagance and waste. Second, whether you dress appropriately or not cannot be judged by price. What is cheap is hard work and plain, and what is expensive is extravagance and waste. This is not the correct value."

"That's right. Geng Jian, you can't let the people of the country wear coarse clothes without washing their faces just because you wear coarse clothes and don't wash their faces. We are not trying to build socialism to continue wearing coarse clothes. Besides, we wear coarse clothes for new students. The woolen coat is not Yang Rui. The teachers and school leaders wear it. Would you like to write a big-character poster and post it at the school gate?" Bai Ling, the cultural and entertainment committee member of the biological sciences, obviously pouted.

   Preparatory party member Geng Jian made a blushing face. He heard the part of his face when he heard nothing else. He stood up and argued: "Who won't wash your face? Who won't wash your face!"

   "How long has it been since you rubbed your nose? Isn't it hard work if you don't wash your face?" Bai Ling was still sitting, but her words were extremely sharp.

   "My face is too dry."

   "I think it's too thick-skinned."

   "Bai Ling, Geng Jian, don't be noisy, say something if you have something." Monitor Liu Anping pressed Geng Jian to sit down.

   Zuo Liyan chuckled and said, "Actually, I am also a little puzzled. The quality of Yang Rui’s clothes is very good, maybe the price will be very high. Isn’t this detrimental to Unity students?"

   "Why do you say that his clothes are expensive?" Bai Ling continued to open her eyes for Yang Rui.

  As a cultural and entertainment committee member, Bai Ling's appearance is naturally one of the best. Looking at Zuo Liyan with big bright eyes, the latter suddenly loses his tongue.

After a while, Zuo Liyan said unconvinced: "Don’t talk about anything else, just say his pants, which hang down in a daze, stiff like something, under 50 yuan, I tell you, it’s impossible to buy it. get."

   "I don't think so." Bai Ling sneered twice.

   "Not necessarily? Then explain, what kind of material is it made of? I will buy one too." Zuo Liyan's voice raised slightly.

   Bai Ling snorted: "Dong Shi Xiao Na. Do you think you can become Takakura Ken by wearing Takakura Ken's coat?"

   Zuo Liyan slumped to admit defeat, and fell back on his chair.

   Liu Anping lowered his head and smiled secretly. He didn't want to talk about dressing with his classmates anymore. It was boring and offensive. It didn't have the slightest meaning. Bai Ling defeated the two main players and he was happy to see it.

   At the same time, Yang Rui cruised outside the campus for food.

   insisting on eating in the cafeteria is not because the food in the cafeteria is delicious, but because Yang Rui wants to keep things low-key. But what he didn't expect was that people actually paid more attention to what was happening around them.

   Compared with Yang Rui, there are many students in the school who often go home to eat or eat out, but it turns out that Yang Rui, the guy who reports to the cafeteria on time every day, was caught.

   In view of this, Yang Rui also went out to find food.

   There has not been an invasion of waste oil and other poisons. Of course, this is not because the owners of small restaurants have noble morals, but because they lack the corresponding technology, and the country has not produced a wide range of chemicals.

   In these years, the difficulty of buying a can of industrial alcohol is really no easier than making a barrel of wine by yourself.
