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

For example, the Phoenix bicycles purchased by Yang Rui are very in short supply across the country and may not be able to buy them with money. But at the Friendship Store in Beijing, Phoenix bicycles need as much as they want, but they only need foreign exchange coupons.

The same concept is the same. The embassy area in Beijing has stores specifically targeting foreigners. They not only sell Chinese-made clothing, but also imported from abroad. Among them, there are many well-known brands from Italy, France, and the United Kingdom. There are a wide range of luxury goods sold at hundreds or even thousands of dollars. However, the media does not report it, and ordinary Chinese people 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 fashion for himself, focusing on British style.

The dark-toned tweed coat is blended with cashmere and silk, which is skin-friendly and comfortable and has an excellent warmth effect. The sweaters I wore in the past were all replaced with gray and black cashmere sweaters. Unlike wool and cotton wool products, cashmere is difficult to make bright colors, which just meets the expectations of the "organization".

Of course, there is no doubt that cashmere comfort is not to be worn close to the body. Cashmere clothes are warmer than wearing more cotton autumn clothes, because cashmere clothes are very soft and have excellent water absorption and breathability, which makes its warmth work of reducing one or more than two.

It is also 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 wool-spoken wool coats, let alone wool sweaters and cashmere sweaters. As long as they choose the right color, Yang Rui felt that unless they are professionals, no one could recognize what they were wearing.

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

Suit pants were quite popular in the 1980s and were worn by many people. Although the prices vary greatly, it is quite difficult to separate them at a glance.

Standing and asked the old tailor to measure his figure, and selected the style and materials to the drawing board. The old tailor said slowly in English: "I can make one set for you first, and the remaining ones will have to be shipped for the materials, about two weeks. Each set includes a cashmere sweater, a pair of cashmere pants, a pair of trousers, and a small coat. If you want 5 sets, it will be $12,000. I'll give you half a dozen shirts so you can wear them in spring. But do you really want the same five sets of clothes? You know, regardless of whether the style changes, the price will be the same."

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

"Cashmere socks are $60 a pair, $720 a dozen a dozen." The old tailor took out his calculator, added $720 and said, "You want two coats, each $2,000 each, a total of $16,700. The twenty dollar fraction has been wiped out, and you will get half a dozen shirts."

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

The old tailor smiled and counted 16,700 US 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 only earned so much a year, which was usually spent on two adults and two or three children.

The average set is $2,400 per set, which is enough to buy Armani’s ready-to-wear in this era. However, custom clothing has never been cheap, which is determined by both handcraft and materials.

In China, 16,700 US dollars can be said to be exaggerated 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.

If used for daily consumption, 17,600 US dollars is enough for ordinary people to buy thousands of pieces of clothing, or hundreds of pieces of Adidas basic clothing.

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

Yang Rui thought for a while and said, "The fabric is the best, cloth, linen, and chemical fibers are all fine. I want the colors and fancy styles to be simple, practical, and most importantly, comfortable. In addition, it should be matched with my clothes."

"Okay, simple luxury, I understand." The old tailor translated it in one sentence and said, "Where is another bag, what do you want?"

“It’s OK to have the same model.”

"Two exactly the same bags?"

"Yes, exactly the same."

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

After leaving the house, Yang Rui went to buy two identical belts, two identical scarves, and three identical pairs of identical leather shoes.

We are easy to buy belts and scarves, but leather shoes are particularly difficult, especially leather shoes that are comfortable and suitable for your feet. You need to try carefully.

Fortunately, the guests in the embassy area vary greatly, and all the body sizes of various lengths and thicknesses finally made Yang Rui find a fit. In order to avoid changing it in the future, he swept all the three-double store deposits in the store.

Three days later, Yang Rui changed his entire body to Adidas and put on a full set of customized clothing without brand and letters. He spent a total of 20,000 US dollars. Even after 30 years, this is a considerable number.

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

After four days, Yang Rui walked on the Peking University campus again and turned into a simple British outfit in a black and gray tweed coat.

The British style outfit is the most attractive. With good tailoring and excellent materials, Yang Rui has trained his handsome image for more than a year and has emerged.

Although the color is darker and there is no brighter sportswear, Yang Rui's eye-catching index is only high and not low, no matter whether he appears in the classroom or on the road.

At the weekend's democratic life meeting, the squad leader Liu Anping encountered new problems. He just finished talking to Yang Rui, and the probationary party member Geng Jian stood up and spoke, saying: "Yang Rui did change his clothes, but in my opinion, the price may be higher. The coat must be a piece of wool. That piece costs two or three hundred. Leather shoes and pants are also different from what we wear..."

Class monitor Liu Anping was extremely tired and said, "I have already conveyed the conclusion of our last democratic life meeting to Yang Rui. Yang Rui did a good job. He changed his bright colors of clothes and no longer had English letters on the clothes. This proves that he is actively moving towards the organization. Regarding the price of tweed coats mentioned by Geng Jian, I think we should look at them from two perspectives. First, we should maintain the tradition of hard work and simplicity and not waste extravagance. Second, whether we wear appropriately, we cannot judge based on the price. Those who wear cheap clothes are hard work and simplicity, and those who wear expensive are extravagance and waste, which is not the correct value."

"That's right. Geng Jian, you can't let the people of the whole country wear coarse clothes without washing their faces just because they don't wash their faces. We work hard to build socialism, not to continue wearing coarse clothes. Besides, Yang Rui is not the only one among the freshmen who wears woolen coats. Both teachers and school leaders wear them. Do you want to write a big-character poster to the school gate?" Bai Ling, an entertainment committee member of the biology science major, obviously curled her lips.

Probationary Party member Geng Jian blushed. He didn't hear anything else, but then heard the part of his face. He stood up and argued: "Who doesn't wash his face? Who doesn't wash his face!"

"How long has it been since you've been soaking in water before you wash your face? Is it hard and simple to wash your face?" Bai Ling was still sitting, but her words were extremely sharp.

"I'm too dry."

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

"Bai Ling, Geng Jian, don't make a noise, just say something." Squad leader Liu Anping pressed Geng Jian and sat down.

Zuo Liyan chuckled and said, "Actually, I'm a little confused. Yang Rui's clothes are of good quality, and maybe the price will be very high. Is this not conducive to uniting classmates?"

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

As an entertainment committee member, Bai Ling's appearance is naturally one in a hundred. She looked at Zuo Liyan with bright big eyes, and the latter suddenly became silly.

After a while, Zuo Liyan said dissatisfiedly: "I won't say anything else, just say that his pants were hanging down straight, as if they were crisp, and they were less than 50 yuan. I'll tell you that it's impossible to buy them."

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

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

Bai Ling sneered: "Dongshi Xiaopin. Do you think wearing a Takakura Ken's coat can turn into Takakura Ken?"

Zuo Liyan admitted defeat and fell back on the chair.

Liu Anping lowered his head and smiled secretly. He no longer wanted to talk to his classmates about his clothes. Not only was bored and offensive, there was no point in saying that Bai Ling defeated the two main players, and he was happy to see it.

At the same time, Yang Rui was parading and looking for food outside the campus.

The food in the canteen is not delicious, but because Yang Rui wants to be low-key. But what he didn't expect was that people are actually paying more attention to what is happening around him.

Compared to Yang Rui, many students in the school often go home to eat or eat outside, but Yang Rui, a guy who comes to the cafeteria on time, was caught.

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

There is no invasion of poisons such as gutter oil. Of course, this is not because the owners of small restaurants are noble in morality, but because they lack corresponding technology, there is no wide variety of chemicals produced in China.

In these days, it is not easier to buy a can of industrial alcohol than to make a barrel of wine by yourself.
