Chen Ya and Xia You took the escalator all the way upstairs. Xia You bumped his arm with his arm and said, "You have met a lot of confidantes here."
"No way," Chen Ya smiled, "one of those two people is my sister, not what you think."
"What about the other one?"
"Hey, there is a game arcade on the third floor. Do you want to play King of Fighters 97 with me?"
Chen Ya's technique of changing the topic was as stiff as a cold steamed bun that had been left out all night. Xia You bulged his mouth.
"Then it seems that the other girl is in trouble?"
Chen Ya quickly said: "Don't make blind guesses, that one is the one I plan to train as a back-up business backbone."
"Then why do you have to choose such a good-looking one to train?" Xia You narrowed his eyes as keenly as a cat.
"Maybe it's because she happens to be pretty good-looking." Chen Ya looked back at Xia You and suddenly said, "Are you planning to go to Jinghua University or Beijing University next year?"
"Kyoto University."
Chen Ya said with a smile: "What a disaster for her. She will lose her position as the campus beauty of Beijing University to someone else."
"How to say?"
Chen Ya said: "That girl's name is Liu Ruying, and she is the school belle of Peking University. When you enter Peking University next year, she will be an old and beautiful senior. The position of school belle will definitely be given to you, a new junior."
He said that Liu Ruying's school beauty position would be given to Xia You, which meant that he thought Xia You was prettier than Liu Ruying. Xia You was immediately elated after hearing this, but pretended not to care on the surface.
"I think you should restrain yourself a little. Before I return to the capital, Sister Xinhai told me to keep an eye on you."
Chen Ya walked towards the game arcade: "Why are you keeping an eye on me? I don't mess around."
"You are the most promiscuous."
The two of them were halfway through when they saw the big words "Jiang Lizhi" on the display board next to Lan Shewai, and the diamonds in the photo below were dazzling.
"Oh, I almost forgot, there is a charity auction here today." Chen Ya said with a smile.
Xia You looked back at the display card and read out: "A century-old gift, the Queen's Choice...what the hell?"
"The Queen of Britain passed away recently. She left behind more than 600 pieces of jewelry, some of which were rented by a domestic company. Now they have taken them back, so we organized this charity auction."
"Lease? The jewelry of the British royal family still needs to be rented?"
Chen Ya smiled and nodded: "Yes, that company's luxury goods are not so much commodities as they are cultural relics. The right of ownership cannot be leaked. The agreement signed with the British royal family is the same as the giant panda. The owner belongs to her during his lifetime.
, take it back after death.”
"It's so awesome. With such terms, there are still people willing to rent?"
"Uh-huh." Chen Ya shrugged, "So this auction is also for the right to use, not the right to ownership. As long as the owner is alive, the items will belong to him and will be taken back after death."
Xia You became a little interested.
It is really rare for domestic companies to dare to issue such overbearing terms.
The most amazing thing is that the Queen of Britain is still willing to accept such overbearing terms.
She became slightly interested in the company.
"'Jiang Lizhi', I've never heard of this name before," Xia You pointed her finger at her lips, "The domestic luxury goods are Gucci and Hermès, there are really very few domestic brands of luxury goods."
"Of course, the route taken by this company is to open up the foreign high-end product market first. This company is not well-known in China, but it is still very famous abroad. Maybe there are foreign monks all over the world who like to chant sutras.
"
Xia You came close to the display and looked at the sign for a while, then said:
"It says that a total of fifteen pieces of jewelry will be auctioned this time, and all the proceeds will be donated to the mental treatment industry for bipolar disorder... I think this company is pretty good. Who is the boss? You don't know him, do you?"
"We know each other," Chen Ya said, "it's me."
Xia You turned back and stared at Chen Ya.
She felt that luxury goods and Chen Ya were completely incompatible.
It's amazing that they can be put together.
"Did you think you were handsome just now?" Xia You asked angrily, "You beat around the bush a lot, and then it's you. You don't pretend to be cool like this."
Chen Ya smiled "hehe", a little embarrassed.
Xia You's cheeks turned a little pink. There was one more thing she didn't say: she actually thought he was quite handsome.
"A casual chess move played a few years ago. Huaxia Huaxia, 'has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; it has the beauty of uniforms, so it is called Hua'. With 5,000 years of civilization, all belts, shoes, and bags are all leftovers from our ancestors.
It doesn’t make sense that it can’t beat others in the high-end luxury market, right?”
The sentence Chen Ya just said comes from "Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan Zhengyi", which means that in the word "Hua Xia", "Hua" means beautiful clothing, and "Xia" means etiquette.
Since the time of Confucius, the Chinese ancestors have attached great importance to the "difference between Hua and Yi". Confucius repeatedly said that "it is better for the Yi and Di to have kings than for the Xia to have none", "the micro-controllers are still in charge, and I am sent to the left" and so on.
The sign that distinguishes Hua and Yi is not blood. The answer is hidden in the two words "Huaxia". One is "the great etiquette" and the other is "the beauty of uniforms". The former is an internal sign and the latter is an external sign.
In other words, the ancient Chinese people had the right to define civilization, and the visual symbol that distinguished the boundaries between civilization and barbarism was "clothing." Beautiful clothing is civilized, and if it is not beautiful, it is not civilized and is barbaric.
Therefore, "shaving one's hair and changing clothes" and even the Westernization of clothing in modern times are themselves signs of the decline of the center of Chinese civilization. If we want to revive, regaining the right to define "beauty" is both a process and a result.
Therefore, Chen Ya started this company a few years ago. After encountering various runs on the company domestically, which led to sluggish progress in the early stage, it soon entered the foreign market, and it was unstoppable and developed like a prairie fire.
Now, the fact that it can make the British royal family willing to sign a humiliating agreement is a testament to the power of its brand.
Although Xia You didn't know there were so many twists and turns behind it, just hearing about "recovering the queen's jewels" made her feel a little excited. She lowered her head to look at the display board and said:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Then what is the name of this company 'Jiang Lizhi'... and which of your confidante is this meant to commemorate?"
Chen Ya explained: "This is not a human name. These three characters come from "Li Sao", 'Hu Jiangli and Pi Zhixi, Ren Qiulan thought they were admirable.' It means to decorate oneself with vanilla, angelica, and Qiulan.
It is a metaphor for cultivating and improving one's own cultivation and virtue."
Although Xia You was full of distrust towards Chen Ya today, after hearing this explanation, he suddenly felt that this name was very suitable for a luxury goods company.
Her interest was suddenly ignited, and she said, "Then let's go and see the scene?"
"What's the point of that?" Chen Ya said a little casually, "The Dingtian that was put up for auction is only a first-class product. The Queen's super-quality products have been taken back and sealed and will not be taken out in the next few years. In addition,
It is truly the best product and is not worthy of use by the British royal family."
"I'm not going to the auction, I'm just going to watch the excitement," Xia You said.
Chen Ya looked at her with his eyes. She didn't like watching the fun so much before, so he had to obey her: "Okay, but it hasn't started yet. We can do something else first before going there."
After the two people left, not long after, the following trio also came to the place where the two people had just stood, in front of the display sign.
"What did they say here? Did you hear it?" Lu Qianzi asked.
Liu Ruying smiled bitterly: "It's not like you have ears to the wind. How can you hear it from such a distance. Qianzi, let's go. It would be bad if we were discovered."
Lu Qingxuan held her chin in her hand, stared at the display board in front of her, and said, "I remembered, today is Jiang Lizhi's charity fair."
"Jiang Lizhi?" Lu Qianzi looked back at her.
Liu Ruying also looked at the display board, nodded, and said, "That rumor is correct, the luxury goods used by the Queen are really back."
Lu Qianzi looked at the two people with confusion on her face and said, "What are you talking about? Am I the only one who doesn't know what Jiang Lizhi is?"
Liu Ruying explained to her: "Jiang Lizhi is a luxury brand that has become very popular in the upper class circles of Europe and the United States recently. It is said that many film and television stars are proud to use this brand."
Lu Qingxuan said coldly: "Of course those little stars will be proud of this, because this brand usually serves the royal family, and the top entertainment stars can still only be considered low-end users in front of this brand."
Liu Ruying also nodded and said: "Yes, it is said that among foreign celebrities, Taylor Swift once wore a dress belonging to Jiang Lizhi on the red carpet, and it caused a sensation among the crowd. The media even said that they could not imagine Swift.
It’s already so red.”
"So awesome?" Lu Qianzi was surprised.
In her opinion, Taylor was already famous enough, but it was a bit unbelievable that her status was once again enhanced by a set of clothes.
But she looked at the two of them with a matter-of-fact expression, lowered her head and said, "Okay, I'm the only one who's a country bumpkin, ugh..."
Liu Ruying took her arm and said, "I just heard about it. By the way, they don't want to attend this auction, right?"
Lu Qingxuan smiled coldly: "I'm overthinking it. Not everyone is eligible to participate. Only those who have received an invitation can enter. Even I can't get an invitation."
Lu Qianzi smacked her lips: "Doesn't that mean that we might be able to meet some extremely famous people here today?"
"That's hard to say."
The three of them continued to move forward and saw Chen Ya pulling Xia You into a clothing store.
They watched outside for a while, and Lu Qianzi gritted her teeth and said, "Look, they are so close, so they must be having an affair. I really misjudged Chen Ya."
Because she was dissatisfied with Chen Ya for attacking such a young girl, Lu Qianzi changed her name to Chen Ya.
Liu Ruying sat on the chair and smiled bitterly. She was still a little worried about this kind of stalking behavior: "Is it normal for best friends of the opposite sex to go shopping like this?"
"That's not normal! Look, he is still cutting her hair. Did you see that the girl's face is even red?"
Lu Qingxuan also sat on a bench with her long legs crossed, staring at Chen Ya not far away across a flower bed. She had already put down her sunglasses and covered her face with a magazine, leaving only her eyes exposed.
.
She was a little puzzled and asked: "How did he get involved with Xia Longju's daughter? Does he expect to get rich by deceiving the little girl? This is not possible..."
