legendary trader

Chapter 184

"Hey hey hey" Zheng Xiaopang saw that Chen Fan was a little anxious, and he said happily, "Don't worry, buddy is teaching you how to pretend to be a wolf with a big tail."

Chen Fan saw that Zheng Xiaopang was getting more and more dishonest, pointed to a window next to him and said, "What do you mean, explain clearly, or I will throw you out of that window."

"Hey, come on, God of Stocks, lift me up and try."

Zheng Xiaopang still looked at Chen Fan cheerfully. Zheng Xiaopang, who was very confident in his tonnage, said to Chen Fan, "Put your position first. Are you a rich man or an upstart? Tell yourself."

"I'm rich, but I'm not rich." Chen Fan pointed to his clothes, and said without hesitation, "If you talk about nouveau riche, sometimes I really feel that way, the money came a little fast."

After hearing Chen Fan's words, Zheng Xiaopang rested his forehead with one hand, with a very speechless expression.

"Stop making trouble, talk about it, what do you mean?" Chen Fan smiled slightly at Zheng Xiaopang's appearance, and said casually, "Are my clothes really so frustrating?"

Chen Fan, who was looking at Zheng Xiaopang with a smile, saw that Zheng Xiaopang didn't mean to speak, and his heart suddenly jumped, as if thinking of something.

"The suit you wore when you picked up girls at school, is that street stall that Zhang Yang laughed at?"

Only now did Zheng Xiaopang look up at Chen Fan and said, "You're not stupid. You're a street stall. My clothes worth tens of thousands of yuan have become street stalls in that kid's mouth."

"Don't complain, there is no brand on your clothes, who knows how much your clothes are worth. Tell me what you mean."

Chen Fan recalled the incident back then. Chen Fan had seen the clothes and thought the fabric was good, but he didn't see anything. He thought they were bought at a street stall.

"It's custom-made clothing, usually only embroidered with a logo or something on an inconspicuous place on the clothes, without a brand."

Zheng Xiaopang rolled Chen Fan's eyes and said, "Then I saw how much you laughed, so I didn't tell you, lest your eyeballs fall out."

"Don't talk about Xuan Xuan, let's get some dry goods." Chen Fan said impatiently.

Zheng Xiaopang coughed twice before saying solemnly: "Do you know why there are no world-renowned luxury goods in our country?"

Chen Fan shook his head, nodded again and said, "In the beginning, no one in our country paid much attention to brands, but now there are big brands."

Zheng Xiaopang shook his head and said, "No. This has something to do with our domestic tradition."

"Before the Republic, those skilled craftsmen were artisans, their social status was very low, and most of them were attached to the nobles, mainly the royal family, and they were the so-called imperial servants."

Seeing Chen Fan listening carefully, Zheng Xiaopang unconsciously raised his head and continued.

"People in our country pay attention to the inheritance of handicrafts from male to female; Most of them voluntarily or involuntarily live with the nobles. Only a very small number of craftsmen can stand out and become so-called masters, so they have a certain brand effect."

Chen Fan nodded while listening to Zheng Xiaopang bragging, feeling that what Zheng Xiaopang said seemed to be true.

"But most of the craftsmen follow the nobles, and make items for the nobles to enjoy completely according to the needs of the nobles. What kind of popularity does that come from? If there is no popularity, there will be no brand."

"After the republic, the original slave-servant relationship disappeared, but most craftsmen still chose to follow the nobles. It was only after the younger generation got up that some people began to choose to break away from the nobles, become independent, and make a living with their ancestral craftsmanship."

"But because of the inheritance of craftsmanship, you should not expect the output of luxury companies like those in the West. In fact, the products of those luxury companies are also divided into mass-produced and customized products, which cannot be generalized. Like what you use is mass-produced. Yes, it is customized to meet the needs of local tyrants and nouveau riche, really good things."

While talking, Zheng Xiaopang looked at Chen Fan and said, "Do you think your current grade should be mass-produced or customized?"

"I'm not short of money." Chen Fan blurted out, "Well, go to the imperial capital and change your outfit first. Is the store you mentioned reliable?"

"Don't doubt me, that shop is an ancestral handicraft, and it keeps pace with the times. They used to make clothes for the royal family, you know?" Zheng Xiaopang said a little proudly.

"Eunuch?" Chen Fan blurted out, feeling something was wrong again.

"He is the head of a craftsman in the Weaving Bureau. Not only is his craftsmanship exquisite, but he also supervises the manufacture of royal costumes. That may be a eunuch. Do eunuchs have any descendants?"

Zheng Xiaopang said with a narrow stare.

"Well, I'll order a few more sets at that time, isn't he the one who started the factory?" Chen Fan said suspiciously.

Zheng Xiaopang shook his head and said, "It's just a tailor shop. All of them are owned by my own family. The output is actually not large. If it really opens a factory, it will be similar to luxury goods. It is also divided into customization and mass production."

He patted Chen Fan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you line up the queue, and I'll measure the size when I get to the imperial capital."

"Are rich people making clothes in tailor shops now?" Chen Fan asked.

Zheng Xiaopang shook his head and said, "How is it possible? You can't customize it with money. Those stores can't make many clothes in a month. Not only are they limited, but they also need a certain status."

Chen Fan nodded and said to Zheng Xiaopang, "Then thank you, Brother Fat. What's the plan for next week?"

"Go up on Monday and take you to measure in the afternoon. My brother will definitely treat you to dinner tonight."

Zheng Xiaopang picked up the tea on the table and took a sip before continuing: "We decided to go to the training on Wednesday morning, just to let you know that you can't operate illegally and disturb the economic order, and you can get the brand back on Friday gone."

"Last time you said you'd find me a house in the imperial capital? Didn't you forget that?" Sui asked.

"I'll leave this matter to my brother. You can ask him directly when you go to dinner at night. If you can, I think you can go and have a look on Tuesday. Anyway, if you have time, then you can bring the jade and diamonds you want. Tell him that he has a wide range of ways and is better than me."

Zheng Xiaopang directly told Chen Fan about God's plan. Seeing that Chen Fan had no objection, he stood up, stretched his body, stretched himself, and said, "That's it, I'm going back to the office."

After a happy weekend, Chen Fan took Li Wu, Li Jian and Zheng Xiaopang to the airport early in the morning on Monday, and boarded the flight to the imperial capital.

Chen Fan didn't ask Liu Ying to see him off, but let her concentrate on dealing with the company's affairs. After a few days, he could accompany his parents to Shanghai to see the big villa he bought. If everything goes well, he can come to the imperial capital after a few days to see them. A new residence in the imperial capital.

This trip is Chen Fan's first visit to the Imperial City in more than 20 years. He often hears people say that the Imperial City hides a dragon and a crouching tiger. Chen Fan is also full of curiosity about the mysterious Imperial City, and he doesn't know what will happen next.

Sitting in the seat, looking out at the vast sea of ​​clouds through the porthole of the plane, I couldn't help feeling a little lost.
