Chapter 805: The so-called fashion
There are eight or nine squares connected to this area, and there is no trace of modern architecture or any facilities.
Like Bologna, where the city is divided in half by a huge railway station and a dispatch center, a repair plant, and a railway line, it looks like you have stepped back in time to the Middle Ages. When you look up, it's full of the glory of the past.
People laughed that the history of the Chinese was written on paper, and the Europeans were placed on the ground, and Zhang Xingming did not know how to evaluate it, standing in front of the window of the hotel room and looking at the gilded bronze statue of the tall Emmanuel II in the sun below.
Industry can be saved, how can history be resurrected?
Xu Xiaoya, who was standing in front of the window, said: "Ah, there are also indiscriminate construction and construction buildings in foreign countries?
Zhang Xingming turned his head to look at Xu Xiaoya, Xu Xiaoya raised his hand and pointed out the window and said, "Look, on the roof of the building, aren't all small houses built by private people, crowded like pigeon cages, and all the clothes and pants are drying." β
There are no tall buildings in this area, and they are basically large courtyard buildings with three to five floors. The suite where Zhang Xingming lives is the highest point of the hotel, barely reaching a little more than five stories high, just over the square Guillotine Notre Dame Church to see the roofs of the buildings opposite.
Looking at Xu Xiaoya's fingers, it was really a small house built on the roof, huddled together one by one, with a rope in the middle to dry the clothes.
The biggest difference between European-style buildings and ours is that there is no unified standard floor height, the same three-story building, maybe one building is only more than nine meters, and the other building is more than ten meters. There is no specific standard for the shape of the quadrangle, large and small, orthogonal, trapezoidal, densely packed together. The feeling of driving on the street here is similar to the feeling of spending a day in a scenic spot in China.
Italy is a shopping paradise in Europe, and Rome is a paradise within a paradise.
Rome is one of the easiest places in Europe to buy everything from the most high-end items to the trendy little things. In addition to the best fashion, leather goods, stationery, porcelain and glass are world-renowned, and religious crafts are excellent souvenirs with a unique Roman flavor.
The big department stores in Rome are not great in Europe, but there are many small and sophisticated shops, from well-known brands to obscure small brands with very high quality goods.
Luxury brands like Etro, ArmaNi, Prada and Gucci are just a small shop in Rome. Because it is the country of origin, the prices are very cheap, and because it is small, the store staff tend to have better product knowledge and can enjoy better service.
In Rome, it would be a pity to chase only famous brands and ignore other small shops, because almost every small store has its own source, even homemade goods, and there are often unexpected surprises.
Those who are obsessed with Gaul Bali really don't know where they got the news from, and they really can't think of a city where the city was still full of feces and urine during the Republic of China, and the common people only took a bath a few times a year.
When it comes to romance and fashion, Europe has to be a good one. The people here specialize in art and design creation, and concentrate on making fine products, which can never be compared to the Gallic chicken, and the so-called romance of the Gallic chicken is nothing more than men and women messing around.
Gallic has many popular inventions in the fashion world, high heels, wigs, lipsticks and perfumes, which are also famous all over the world. But the high heels are just because Napo Wheel is too short, the wig is because there are many bald people, the lipstick is learned from China, and as for perfume, is it any surprise that perfume is born in a country where everyone does not bathe?
Moreover, these things were all used by men at the beginning, and they were standard for officials.
We, alas, have been taken to an inexplicable and wonderful road by some so-called elite literati in modern times, and foreign ones are all good. Everything is proud of the recognition of others, and everything wants to be touched with some foreign atmosphere, and a big country can only continue to rely on the recognition of others. Alas.
He Juanjuan and her team arrived in Rome on the afternoon of the 7th, and rushed to the hotel to meet Zhang Xingming and his party.
Zhang Xingming was in the hotel restaurant to wash the dust for everyone. After the meal, He Juanjuan's entourage went back to the room to rest, and He Juanjuan came to Zhang Xingming's suite to talk to him.
The housekeeper served coffee to a few people, and everyone sat around on the sofa in the living room. None of the buildings here have terraces.
Zhang Xingming said: "I don't like the name of luxury, let's not promote it like this." I agree with setting up a brand counter or shop-in-shop, and I suggest that all brands be sold separately in the future, so as to guide the people to have brand awareness, which is a good thing.
However, there is no need to forcibly separate domestic and foreign countries and divide the grades, the grades should not be divided according to the domestic and foreign countries, should be divided according to the seven and the process, according to the quality differences, we have no good things in China? Foreign ones are all good? Not necessarily.
I have no objection to the introduction of international brands in response to market demand, but I am opposed to inexplicably elevating the status and value of foreign brands. I don't need to make money by building hype and this kind of flattery. No matter what the product, my opinion is to follow the laws of the market. β
He Juanjuan rolled her eyes and said, "I came all the way to Rome and taught me a lesson as soon as we met." β
Zhang Xingming smiled and said: "What is my lesson?, I'm just talking about what I think in my heart." β
He Juanjuan asked: "Then do you have any high opinions on brand and product selection?"
Zhang Xingming glanced at He Juanjuan and said, "No, you have the final say." To be honest, I still agree with and appreciate the attitude of the Italian people on the product, but I really find it a little difficult to accept the habitual self-boasting and mutual praise of the Europeans, just like the double R, such a bad company is blown to the sky.
Let's just say that you are on this list, Amani, I remember that it was only in '82, right? Does it have a long history of our Huhai Knitting Factory? How much is the difference in product quality? The so-called design elements are even more, what can be compared with two countries separated by tens of thousands of kilometers? At most, it is an exotic style.
Versace only had 76 years, Dolce & Gabbana 87 years, Gianfranco FerrΓ© 82, Gucci and Prada a little earlier, DA almost went bankrupt in 78 years because of quality problems, Roberto Cavalli was established in 72 years, and it was just a private workshop, where are their cows? β
He Juanjuan said: "You can't say that, right? These brands are very popular with aristocratic stars from European countries, this is fashion, understand?"
Zhang Xingming said: "The shirts of the Huhai Knitting Factory are liked by the people of the whole country, and there are more than Europeans? Why do they like fashion, and what we like has become local goods? β
