Chapter 160: Adventure

Monkey tickets are the vane of the future postal market!

Being able to operate the market of monkey tickets with his own hands and becoming the dealer of monkey tickets made Ning Weimin taste indescribable happiness.

He thought that he had looked forward to his destiny with his own ability, mastered his life, and created his own legend with his own hands.

I can't help but be complacent and proud because of this.

But in fact, he soon found that he was still too petty.

Because no matter how carefully he plans, he thinks that his plans are ambitious, and he is not enough to see in the face of fate.

You know, the energy of fate is just too great.

As long as you gently move your little finger, you can seamlessly manipulate the ups and downs of life as you like.

When this guy has a bad temper, he can casually make people fall into a place of no return.

And once you are gracious, throw you a little sweetness to eat, maybe it will be enough for you to fight for twenty years less.

For example, it was also a chance encounter.

When fate pushed Huo Xin, a disaster star, in front of Ning Weimin, it was really enough for him to drink a pot.

But when fate pushed a real noble person in front of Ning Weimin, it gave him unlimited opportunities and the possibility of improving his rank.

And it all happened at the Jingcheng Hotel, this wonderful place.

In the early 80s, the Jingcheng Hotel was the tallest building in Beijing.

But its height, which actually never depends on the spire, is very realistic.

Historically, this is a place where complex political and business relationships are intertwined, and where the world can be influenced.

In special years, this is even the only place where we have maintained full communication with the world.

Sun Yat-sen stayed here, Nixon ate here, and Khrushchev shaved his head here.

When U.S. citizen Yang Zhenning visited China in 1972, it was here that he resolutely opposed the construction of high-energy particle accelerators.

and in 1979, Li Chunping also met the mysterious Hollywood actress here, so that he was able to go abroad and become a billionaire.

Therefore, the Gyeongseong Hotel can undoubtedly be called a crossroads of fate.

I don't know how many people have completely changed the direction of their lives after turning around here.

So Ning Weimin, who often soaks here, waiting to exchange foreign exchange coupons, what happened to him.

It has become an unexpected and reasonable thing.

At the end of June 1981, when most people in Beijing were still relying on watermelon, soft drinks, and loose beer to cool down.

When the young people in Beijing are staring at the results of the first film "Golden Rooster Award" and the film "White Flower Award" released by the newspapers and magazines, as well as the list of award-winning films and actors.

Ning Weimin sat in the air-conditioned air conditioner of the Beijing Hotel for several hours almost every afternoon.

In addition to talking to foreigners, he also tastes the unique imported vanilla ice cream here.

Now he has become more and more familiar with the Beijing Hotel.

He knew there was Coca-Cola and oranges that weren't out there.

Know when the café in the lobby is at its most crowded and when it is the least crowded.

He thoroughly mastered the rules of Western blonde and blue-eyed afternoon tea.

He also learned that foreigners are accustomed to using "new money" to refer to foreign exchange coupons and "old money" to refer to renminbi.

It also understands the reasons why foreigners are more eager for the renminbi than Chinese people for foreign exchange coupons.

That is, whether it is buying train tickets, plane tickets, postal consignment, or living at home, holding family banquets and salons to entertain friends.

If there is RMB, foreigners will not only be much more convenient to do things, but also reduce their expenses by half.

As a result, his exchange business is now more and more handy, and his persuasiveness and success rate have greatly increased.

Almost every time the "old money" brought in can be replaced with "new money" relatively smoothly.

And on this day, he had just finished half of the redemption task and walked out of the café to go to the toilet.

Completely unexpected, he was stopped by a "pink face" who had just gotten off the elevator and passed by him.

Under the mediation of fate, a historic encounter befell him in such a rather casual way.

In front of Ning Weimin was a foreign man about fifty years old.

With his hands in his pockets, he is dressed very fashionably, and his shirt and pants fit quite well.

Not only is his aura lofty, but his eyes are gentle and he looks very restrained.

But he obviously couldn't speak Chinese, and after calling "Ha Lou", he didn't know how to continue the conversation.

smiled slightly awkwardly, then pointed to Ning Weimin's vest, and made a look of being very interested and wanting to touch it.

Ning Weimin was not stupid, and soon understood what the foreigner meant.

You know, this vest of his is homemade.

Because Ning Weimin was reluctant to wear a half-sleeved shirt of this year.

He is very disgusted with deteriorating fiber fabrics, but the cotton vest of this year is not good-looking with his neck exposed.

So he asked his neighbor Aunt Mi to help him nail an ordinary blue cotton vest to an old fake collar at home.

As a result, under the vision and aesthetics of his later generations, the combination of different colors and materials has a surprisingly good effect.

This nondescript and casual piece looks quite fashionable in this year.

When he spread it generously, not only Zhang Shihui followed suit, but his female colleagues and neighbors also called him a fake overseas Chinese.

"Do you want to see my clothes?"

Ning Weimin took the initiative to ask in English.

And his opening was obviously a surprise to the foreigner.

"Do you speak English? That's great. Yes, I want to see your top, okay?"

"Yes. Let's be light. ”

In this way, the foreigners came over with great interest.

You're really welcome, take a closer look at it in public.

Not only to see, but also to touch.

The big nose finally turned behind Ning Weimin to take a look.

But fortunately, he was a person who knew etiquette, and he didn't embarrass Ning Weimin too much.

"Did you buy this dress, where can I buy it?"

"I didn't buy it, I made it myself. ”

"Oh, are you a costume designer?"

"No, no, I just prefer DIY ......"

"DIY? What's that?"

Ning Weimin immediately realized that he was ahead of his time, and the word had not become popular in recent years.

So I couldn't help but shake my head, smiled faintly, and made an explanation.

“Do It Yourself”。

Funny, very funny!" the foreigner couldn't help but laugh.

But his subsequent words really surprised Ning Weimin.

"Friend, I have a reluctant request, can you sell me this dress?"

"You want to buy my clothes?"

"Yes. Can I ...... out Fifty dollars, fifty dollars 'new money'?"

Ning Weimin thought it was funny, and he didn't understand why this elegant foreigner was so obsessed with this dress.

This is a casual style, and he doesn't match it at all, so he quickly shook his head.

"No, no, it's not about money. The clothes are for you, so what am I going to wear?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. ”

The foreigner immediately understood, and spread his hands awkwardly. ”

But he didn't give up there, thought about it, held his chin, and made a new proposal.

"How about you go upstairs with me? I have a lot of new clothes, you pick one you like, I'll give you another fifty dollars......"

Seeing that this foreigner was full of expectations, his attitude was full of sincerity.

Ning Weimin was a little embarrassed to refuse.

Of course, Ning Weimin was not stupid, so he took the opportunity to put forward conditions that were more favorable to him.

"Do you really want that? Well, if you have two thousand dollars of 'new money' and are willing to exchange two thousand dollars and two hundred dollars of 'old money' with me. I can give you this dress for free without money. All you have to do is give me another piece of clothing and let me wear it. ”

Now the foreigner was stunned.

He seemed a little taken aback, but after a moment he smiled and held out his hand.

"No problem, then we're done. ”

Needless to say, when the two of them walked into the elevator together, they had a good impression of each other because they had achieved their respective wishes.

Foreigners have been asking Ning Weimin how he came up with such a brilliant idea.

Ning Weimin patiently answered one by one.

But he never thought that he would be shaken by this foreigner.

Because when he followed the foreigner into a large room in the Beijing Hotel, he casually changed into a shirt.

But the foreigner stopped exchanging money with Kenta.

He had to tie his cuffs, put on his new clothes, straighten his body, and take two steps around the room.

Ning Weimin couldn't help but get angry, thinking that he had been teased, this was an insult to him,

"Sir, is your promise insincere, do you want to exchange money with me?"

The foreigner hurriedly made a reassuring attitude and explained kindly.

"Don't be angry, and don't be anxious, my friend. I don't mean to offend you, you will get what you want. But I'll also tell you, I'm a fashion designer, and I'm going to have a fashion show soon. I think you're in good physical condition, so I hope you can put on my clothes and take a walk and let me see the results......"

Ning Weimin didn't listen to him, and responded with an unbelievable look.

"What are you kidding? I'm only 1.77 meters tall, what kind of model am I supposed to be? If I walk on the catwalk, I'm not as tall as a girl in high heels......"

But the foreigner was even more pleasantly surprised by this, and slapped his head.

"My friend, you were so surprised by me. You know what a real costume display is, right?"

"Then you must understand that I can't find a really suitable model in your country. So height is not an issue, you are already considered tall in this country. ”

"The important thing is that your skeleton is well-proportioned and your temperament meets my clothing needs. And we were able to communicate smoothly, which is more important than anything else!"

Ning Weimin was completely speechless, "Are you true or false?" Who are you, why do you have to hold a clothing exhibition in our country?"

Only then did the foreigners realize that they had not yet introduced each other, and reached out again.

"It's an honor to meet you, I'm from France, I've been a fashion designer for more than 30 years, and my own clothing brand is my name-—— Pierre Cardin. Sincerely, I really need someone like you, and the pay is good......"

Well?

The name...... It's so familiar!

Let Ning Weimin really 10,000 accidents, 10,000 didn't expect.
