Chapter 406 - World-Class Famous Shoe Brand (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
May 1st, Labor Day.
Wang Ye also moved today, and his new home is the villa he bought a year ago.
The price is 500 million, and the preferential transaction price is 450 million Vanke Tianqin Bay No. 1 mansion!
Bought the mansion in early January, spent almost four months renovating, and is now finally ready to move in.
This is still Vanke's full attention to Wang Ye's house, and let the decoration workers work overtime to make it.
The decoration cost plus the purchase cost of household appliances and furniture also exceeded 100 million, and the entire mansion cost almost 600 million.
I dare not say it in the country, but in Pengcheng, it is a well-deserved first mansion!
Naturally, Wang Ye doesn't need to worry about moving, and Ai Li has arranged everything properly.
On the side of the new house, there are three buildings in the compound, one tall and two low.
The main building is a three-storey building containing six bedrooms, a recreation room, a gym, a study, and more.
And of course, this mansion also has everything, fitness, swimming, steaming, etc., all the entertainment projects you need to spend money on going out can be easily achieved here.
And, of course, there is a huge living room and the main dining room.
There are two ancillary buildings, one of which is considered a guest room for entertaining guests, and a wine collection room and a cigar storage room.
The other one, of course, is the maid's room.
As for how many rooms there are, Wang Ye doesn't know, because there are too many......
When I lived in Pengcheng Bay No. 1, the house was limited in size and didn't need many people to take care of it.
Cleaning the room, Elle can just find a part-time worker.
But this mansion is not only large in size, but also has a lot of facilities that need daily maintenance, so it naturally needs to hire a certain amount of manpower.
According to Ellie's plan, she is going to hire at least twenty servants.
The division of labor of these servants is very meticulous, there are special laundry workers, special ironing of clothes, special for cooking, Ai Li also asked Wang Ye if he wanted to raise a dog, if he had a dog, he would ask a person to take care of the dog.
Even the flowers that appear on the table every day have to be taken care of by professionals. Of course, two guards are also needed, and these two guards are not fixed, but are sent by the company's security department in turn.
As for the people sent by the city government, Wang Ye doesn't have to worry about it.
Because since he bought this house, there has been an additional police kiosk at the gate of the Tianqin Bay villa area, and it has been on duty 24 hours a day.
……
Originally, Wang Ye invited Xue Yiyi to move over, but Xue Yiyi refused with a smile.
"I'd better stay here, and don't move here, or Isabella will be embarrassed to meet everyone later." However, I will often go over to eat. ”
She also has a point, Wang Ye is now engaged to Isabella, although Isabella also knows that he is in the country and does not care very much.
But you still have to be scrupulous about your face, if Xue Yiyi lives in Pengcheng Bay No. 1, even if she usually goes to Tianqin Bay to live, there is nothing.
But if you live directly in Tianqin Bay, then Isabella may feel uncomfortable when she comes over and sees it.
Wang Ye thought about it, and then agreed with Xue Yiyi's idea, and left the house at No. 1 Pengcheng Bay to Xue Yiyi, Doudou, and Lin Xiu.
After Xie Bing signed a contract with Wang Ye's entertainment company, he also bought a house here, and several women happened to be companions, and they were usually more lively together.
……
After moving over, Wang Ye found that the cloakroom next to the master bedroom here was much larger than that on the Pengcheng Bay No. 1 side.
This cloakroom has an area of more than 100 square meters!
For Wang Ye, it is a bit too big, maybe when this house has a hostess, this cloakroom is not big enough.
But now, it looks empty.
Among men, Wang Ye is a person who pays attention to clothing, and basically wears high-end clothes.
The quality is very high, but the quantity is relatively small.
After Elle sorted out Wang Ye's clothes and shoes, she discovered this problem.
"Sir, you need another batch of clothes and shoes. ”
Wang Ye thought about it for a while, too, since he went to London to spend millions of pounds to order a batch of clothes, he has basically not bought many clothes in the past two years.
Although with his current status, he no longer needs to rely on clothes to package himself. But Wang Ye is not a technology man like Jobs and Bill Gates, strictly speaking, he is still in the fashion circle, and he still has to pay attention to his image.
"You contacted the ...... of Savile Row Andresen's shop, I feel that his clothes are quite comfortable to wear. Ask them to send the director over and customize a few outfits for me. ”
Wang Ye commanded.
After going to London to customize clothes last time, Wang Ye knew that he could go to London without tossing by himself.
Just stay at home and wait for the other party to come to your door.
Of course, the threshold for such a service is also very high, that is, in a store, the total amount of customized clothes is more than one million.
This million is not RMB, not US dollars, but British pounds!
If converted into RMB, it is tens of millions!
It's 2013, and the exchange rate of the pound to the yuan is still 9.9 odds to 1.
……
For shoes, Wang Ye is even more important.
Every man should have a good pair of shoes because it is the most faithful companion in your life's journey.
Around the world, the best men's shoes are inseparable from these three countries: Britain, Italy, and France.
British shoes, elegant, decent and meticulous, rich in traditional gentlemanly style.
French shoes are exquisitely crafted, charming, romantic, and unique.
As for Italian shoes, just like Italian men, they are sexy and charming, but this style is not easy to control.
……
If you pick a few representative brands from each country, Italian shoes have to say Tishoni.
Amedeo Testoni
The famous "Tishon Tony", founded in Italy in 1929, is mainly made of shoes. After 2002, Amedeo Testoni had Chinese lasts in 85% of the shoes released worldwide, and quickly became the mainstream brand of domestic formal leather shoes.
The top of the line is the AT series, which uses the piuma rapid method, which is to press the shoe assembly out of the curved edge of the bevel, and then disassemble it to stitch the sole, which is very waterproof.
The AT series has the Amedeo Testoni signature and feather logo on the sole, and the price is more than 10,000 yuan. The others are much cheaper than the Black Label series.
……
Silvano Lattanzi, whose name is "Lang Danze" in Chinese.
Although it has only been born for nearly 30 years, it is a brand that has the pricing power of leather shoes in the world because it is good enough.
Only 6,000 pairs of shoes are produced throughout the year, which only belong to the top rich!
The royal family, George H.W. Bush and American President Ao Jr., and the former Italian prime minister are all its loyal customers.
To put it simply, if you plan to buy a pair of shoes for more than 200,000 yuan, Lang Danze is your only choice.
If it is too expensive, then it can be bought for tens of thousands of yuan, but it is not a real Lang Danze feature.
Understood, if you want to buy shoes of this brand, prepare at least 200,000 yuan first!
Lang Danze's specialty is the cellar leather shoes, that is, like red wine, use the cellar to place the freshly handmade leather shoes to add the year to it!
In 2005, Lang Danze put 50 pairs of finished shoes into a dirt pit.
After digging out in 2009, the upper was cleaned by changing the sole, and these leather shoes have more vicissitudes of time and have a peculiar distressing effect.
And it became the representative work of Lang Danze's family, and since then its customized leather shoe cellaring business has become famous all over the world.
……
Santoni
Founded in Italy in 1975, it is the most comprehensive shoe factory, with an annual production capacity of 300,000 pairs.
Compared to shoes with Goodyear technology, once there is a broken thread in the sole, the whole thread will open, and then the sole will fall off
The sewing method of Hand Welted is not afraid of breaking the thread, one part is broken and the other places are still connected, and nothing will be affected.
The average entry-level is around RMB 5,000 to 8,000.
The Monk Shoe is a classic Santoni shoe with a high level of attainment, with a slender single-buckle Monk shoe and a sleek design suitable for young men.
Bontoni
Known as "timeless Italian elegance", the top of the list is that for any luxury connoisseurship or bespoke shoe yearbook, Bontoni is sure to make the list.
Rare is expensive, Bontoni is only sold in 11 countries, with only 4 craftsmen, and the last is still done by the founder Guido Bontoni. The classics are the Amarcord series and the Casanova series, priced at 7,000-45,000 RMB.
…………
As for British shoes, the first choice is, of course, John Rob, whose Chinese name is John Rob.
Founded in 1849, John Rob is a British footwear brand and the "king of customization" among the top men's shoes.
Certified by the British royal family in 1864, it is known for its luxury handiwork
John Rob's pursuit of leather is extreme, using a whole piece of leather and only 40% of the whole leather.
Even if it is only a small mosquito bite scar, give it up!
After the shoes are completed, they will be stamped with a gilded royal logo on the sole, with an annual output of less than 1,000 pairs, and a customization cycle of nine months to one year.
This kind of shoes, money alone is not enough, you have to be patient enough to wait.
Would you be willing to wait for a pair of shoes that would take you a year to climb?
This also proves that beautiful things are not so easy to have.
…………
And then there's the French shoe brand, Berruti!
This is also one of Wang Ye's favorite brands, and the biggest feature of this brand's shoes is its luster and color.
Each pair of Berluti shoes is really like a gilded light, shining and exuding a charming luster.
Founded in 1895 in Paris, France, Berluti is a classic French shoemaking brand with a history of 100 years, and is also a brand of the world's top luxury group "LVMH".
It has always been deeply loved by royalty, popes, socialites and elites from all walks of life. He made papal shoes for the pope and also introduced the Napoleon III tall boots.
Since then, Beruti has been praised as a work of art by royal families from all over the world.
Arnault, the president of the LVMH group, wears Brutti, and he only wears the Les Physios collection.
Beruti also offers a collection of ready-to-wear and leather goods, all of which are of unparalleled artistic quality.
Now, the fourth generation of the brand, Olga Berutti, is the heart and soul of the brand.
Olga's supporters also included President Kennedy, the King of Spain, the Emperor of Japan, the Ship King Aristotle Onassis, Prince Jean Mariais, Picasso, the King of Monaco, the Duke of Windsor, Yves Saint Laurent, and Marlon Brando, to name a few.
You can wear the same shoes as these celebrities, and even the price is exactly the same.
The consistent art of tailoring has given Berruti a prominent reputation and earned him the obsessive after-demand of his avid clientele.
There have been many artists, celebrities, and celebrities who want to advertise Berluti for free, but they have all been resolutely rejected by the head of the company, Olga, and it is rare to have such a noble character in such a highly commercialized society.
Beginning in 1895 with the creation of the first pair of lace-up men's shoes made of a single piece of leather with only three eyelets, Alexander Brutti, the father of the "Maison", has led Bruti to a unique and irreplaceable master throughout its 100-year history, and has been further developed by the brand's great founder, Torello Bruti.
Beauty, color, shine!
The unique secrets of the House of Berluti have created a brilliant language based on leather. The emerald leather impregnated with essential oils shimmers with a deep shimmer characteristic of Japanese lacquerware. Bruti gives life to leather.
As the only female shoemaker in the world, Olga Beruti is also the soul of Berluti. Olga Berluti inherited from her fathers Alessandro, Torello and Talbinio a wealth of knowledge and tradition in shoemaking, also serving men and treating all her clients as her friends.
The Avenue Saint-Germain in Paris is one of the most representative streets of Parisian culture and fashion, not only home to many cultural celebrities, but also home to famous French fashion brands.
Among them, the Berluti men's shoe store is an old store with a century-old history of shoemaking, and the artistic atmosphere of the store is blowing in the face, and the coffee color of wood and leather has the classicism and nobility of the French royal aristocracy.
The exquisite and elegant furnishings make you feel like you have stepped into a shoe palace, and the leather shoes on display are as stunning as the exquisite works of art. Of course, the price of art is also very expensive, and the price of a pair of shoes exceeds 10,000 yuan, making Beruti the most classic and luxurious leader of similar brands.
The process of making shoes in Beruti follows an old tradition: the special treatment of small pieces of hammered leather is used in the important parts of the shoe at the arch of the foot, and this special treatment is the soul of the Berluti shoes.
The brand's slogan is exactly that: "When shoes have a soul".
In this century-old shop, four generations of shoemaking are almost synonymous with holy religion. People come here from all over the world, 26 Avenue Saint-Germain in Paris, to order their shoes.
…………
Wang Ye's self doesn't like the style of Italian shoes, because he feels that the shape is a bit exaggerated, which is more suitable for stars in the entertainment industry to wear, or those with strong personalities.
His choice was John Rob and Berluti!
