Chapter 282

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

For example, the Phoenix brand bicycle purchased by Yang Rui is very popular all over the country, and it may not be available with money. But in the friendship store in Beijing, Fenghuang brand bicycles need foreign exchange coupons as much as they want.

Brand name clothing is the same concept. In the embassy area of Beijing, there are shops specially for foreigners. They not only sell clothes made in China, but also import more from abroad. Among them, there are many famous brands from Italy, France and the United Kingdom. The prices of luxury goods are as high as hundreds or even thousands of dollars, but the media does not report them, and ordinary Chinese will not consume them.

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

The dark color woollen coat is blended with cashmere and silk, which is comfortable to the skin and has excellent thermal effect. In the past, all the sweaters were replaced with gray and black cashmere sweaters. Unlike wool and cotton products, it was difficult for cashmere to make bright colors, just in line with the expectations of the organization.

Of course, there is no doubt about the comfort of cashmere. Ordinary woolen clothes can't be worn close to the body, but it's warmer than wearing a cotton autumn coat, because cashmere is very soft, and it has excellent water absorption and air permeability, which makes its heat preservation produce the effect of two minus one more than two.

It is also because of the high international price of cashmere materials that cashmere sweaters almost disappeared in the domestic market in the 1980s. Ordinary people can't even afford woolen overcoats, let alone woolen sweaters and cashmere sweaters. As long as they choose the right color, Yang Rui thinks that unless they are professionals, no one can recognize what they are wearing.

The composition of sports pants and thick autumn pants has also been replaced by thin cashmere pants and custom trousers by Yang Rui.

Suit pants were quite popular in the 1980s. There were a lot of people who wore them. Although the prices were very different, it was quite difficult to distinguish them at a glance.

Standing, he asked the old tailor to measure his figure, and chose the style and material for the plate. The old tailor said slowly in English: "I can make one for you first, and the rest will wait for the material to arrive, about two weeks. Each set includes a cashmere sweater, a pair of cashmere pants, a pair of outer pants, and a small coat. If you want five sets, it's 1. Twenty thousand dollars. I'll give you another half dozen shirts so you can wear them in the spring. As like as two peas, do you really want the same five sets of clothes? You know, the price is the same whether the style changes or not. "

"I'm as like as two peas in five suits. By the way, give me another dozen socks. " What Yang Rui wants now is the effect of not changing clothes all the year round.

"Cashmere socks are $60 a pair and $720 a dozen." The old tailor took out his calculator, added $720 to it, and said, "you want two coats, each of which is $2000. The total is $16700. The change of twenty dollars has been erased. I'll give you another half dozen shirts. "

"I also want you to buy two bags for me, OK?" Yang Rui took out three rolls of dollars, untied them and handed them to the old tailor. These are all taken out by manager Li of Huarui from the Bank of China and handed over to Yang Rui.

The old tailor laughingly counted US $16700 and gave the rest to Yang Rui. In the 1980s, it was also a huge sum of money for European and American people. The average blue collar worker's salary was just so much a year, which was usually for two adults and two or three children.

The average price of each set is 2400 US dollars, which is enough to buy Armani's ready-made clothes in this era. However, custom-made clothes are always not cheap, which is decided by both hand-made and material.

In China, 16700 US dollars is an exaggeration, nearly 170000 yuan, which is enough for Yang Rui to buy another 10 mu of good land in Zhongguancun and sell it to 20 million yuan around 10 years.

If it's used for daily consumption, 17600 dollars is enough for ordinary people to buy thousands of clothes, or hundreds of Adidas basic clothes.

"What kind of bag do you want?" The old tailor put the money away and took out his notepad with a smile. His shop is located in the embassy area. He often brings things to the guests. Purchasing on behalf of the guests is also a necessary strategy to keep the guests.

Yang Rui thought about it for a while and said, "the fabric is the best, cloth, hemp and chemical fiber are OK. I want the color and pattern to be simple, practical and the most important thing is comfortable. In addition, it should match with my clothes. "

"OK, I get it." The old tailor translated a sentence and said, "where's the other bag? What kind of bag do you want?"

"The same amount will do."

"Two as like as two peas?"

"Yes, as like as two peas."

"I've been in China for two years. I don't understand you any more." The old tailor shook his head and wrote down Yang Rui's request.As like as two peas were as like as two peas, two as like as two peas, two like the same scarves and three pairs of shoes. Yang Rui went out.

Belts and scarves are easy to buy, but leather shoes are especially difficult, especially comfortable shoes, which need to be tried carefully.

Fortunately, the guests in the embassy area are very different, with all kinds of body length and thickness. Yang Rui finally found a good fit. In order to avoid changing it in the future, he swept all three pairs in the store.

Three days later, Yang Rui changed his full body Adidas and put on a full set of custom-made clothes without brand and letters. The total cost was $20000. Even after 30 years, it was a big sum.

However, compared with Yang Rui's annual dividend, this amount of money is nothing. Compared with the cost of the laboratory, 20000 US dollars is just a drizzle

After four days, Yang Rui once again walked in the campus of Peking University. He had become a simple British dress with black ash and woollen coat.

British style dress is the most figure, with good tailoring and excellent materials, Yang Rui has trained for more than a year, and his image of a model man has sprung up.

Although the color is dark, no bright sportswear, but Yang Rui whether walking in the classroom or on the road, eye absorption index is only high.

At the democratic life meeting on the weekend, the monitor Liu Anping encountered new problems. As soon as he finished his talk with Yang Rui, the probationary Party member Geng Jian stood up and said, "Yang Rui has indeed changed his clothes, but in my opinion, the price may be higher. The overcoat must be made of woolen cloth, and that one must be two or three hundred, Shoes and pants are different from what we wear... "

Liu Anping, the monitor, was very tired and said: "I have already conveyed the conclusion of our last democratic life meeting to Yang Rui. Yang Rui has also done a good job. He has changed his bright colored clothes and no English letters appear on his clothes, which proves that he is actively moving closer to the organization. As for the price of woolen overcoats mentioned by Geng Jian, I think we should look at it from two perspectives. First, we should keep the tradition of hard work and plain living and not extravagance and waste. Second, we can't judge whether we dress appropriately according to the price. What's cheap is hardship and plain living, and what's expensive is extravagance and waste. This is not the correct value

"That's right. Geng Jian, just because you don't wash your face in coarse clothes, you can't let the whole country wear coarse clothes instead of washing your face. We're trying to build socialism, not to continue to wear coarse clothes. What's more, Yang Rui is not the only one among the freshmen who wears woollen clothes. Both the teachers and the school leaders wear them. Do you want to write a big character newspaper and post it at the school gate? " Bai Ling, a cultural and entertainment committee member majoring in Biological Sciences, obviously turned her lip.

Geng Jian, a probationary Party member, made a big red face. Without hearing anything else, he heard the part of his face and got up to argue: "who doesn't wash his face? Who won't wash his face! "

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

"I'm too cheeky."

"I think it's too cheeky."

"Bai Ling, Geng Jian, don't make any noise. Talk well." The monitor Liu Anping sat Geng Jian down.

Zuo Liyan chuckled and said, "in fact, I'm a little confused. Yang Rui's clothes are made of very good materials. Maybe the price will be very high. Is this not good for uniting students?"

"Why do you say his clothes are expensive?" Bai Ling continued to look out for Yang Rui.

As a member of the cultural and entertainment committee, Bai Ling's appearance is naturally one in a hundred. She looks at Zuo Liyan with bright big eyes, and the latter is clumsy.

After a while, Zuo Liyan was unconvinced and said: "if you don't say anything else, just say that his pants are straight and straight, like what, less than 50 yuan. I'll tell you, it's impossible to buy them."

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

"Not necessarily? Then explain. What material is it made of? I'll buy one, too. " Zuo Liyan's voice rose slightly.

Bai Ling sneered: "Dongshi imitates you. Do you think that if you wear a Takakura's coat, you can become Takakura? "

Zuo Liyan gave up and fell back to his chair.

Liu Anping lowered his head and sniggered. He doesn't want to talk about clothes with his classmates any more. It's boring and offending. It doesn't make any sense. Bai Ling defeated the two main players. He's happy to see them succeed.

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

Insisting on eating in the canteen is not because the food in the canteen is delicious, but because Yang Rui wants to keep a low profile. But what he didn't expect was that people were actually more concerned about what happened around them.

Compared with Yang Rui, many students in our school often go home to eat or eat out. As a result, Yang Rui, who reports in the canteen on time every day, is caught.In view of this, Yang Rui also simply went out to look for food.

At present, there is no invasion of waste oil and other poisons. Of course, it's not that the owners of small restaurants are virtuous. It's just that they lack the corresponding technology, and there are not many kinds of chemicals produced in China.

In recent years, it's no easier to buy a can of industrial alcohol than to brew a bucket of wine.
