Li Huayong walked out of the shed with the "big brother" in his hand, attracting the sideways glances of the surrounding migrant workers and vehicles.

Of course, it's this era, even in the early 90s, in most cities in the mainland, if you take this thing in the downtown and no one else swaggers through the city, it is the favorite of pretending to be a criminal.

As a traverser, Li Huayong certainly doesn't have such a bad taste. However, now he is indeed a pretending to be a criminal. There's no way, the mobile phone signal in these years, it's outrageously poor. Li Huayong didn't look for a place with a better signal, and yelled at the phone loudly, this thing was useless.

"Hey, what did you just say? I didn't hear you, you again... Oh? Are you saying that the samples have been sent in for testing and nothing has been found? That's good, that's good... By the way, you just said you were in Milan, right, hey, hey... Well, you say, now you can hear it clearly. Oh, you're with your sister now?...... In, where?!what, in a nice house......"

For nearly 10 minutes, Li Huayong had no choice but to interrupt the phone, looked at the brick-like thing in his hand and shook his head with a wry smile. But fortunately, although such a phone call almost made Li Huayong's throat hoarse, he finally got a few important information, and these messages were basically good news, which made Li Huayong feel good.

The first important piece of information is naturally what Lin Wei said on the phone, "pass the test". This is, of course, great news. Li Huayong even thinks that even if he doesn't hear anything else today, even if Lin Wei doesn't do anything else when he goes to Europe this time, just this news is worth celebrating.

Because this is the foundation of everything, all Li Huayong's thoughts and ideas about this kind of marble must be built on this foundation.

The second important piece of information that Li Huayong got, or the second piece of good news, actually comes from the last 4 words he just said, beautiful house!

That's right, Lin Wei just told Li Huayong on the phone: She is now in a "beautiful house".

"Not bad, yes, quite capable, I was able to find a "beautiful house". Lin Wei's figure appeared in Li Huayong's mind, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, at this moment he felt that his girlfriend had really grown, and this time he finally did something quite reliable.

A "nice house" is certainly not really a "pretty house". To be precise, this is a magazine, one of the top professional magazines of the era on "architectural fashion".

This magazine is little known in China, let alone a layman, even if it is a lot of industry insiders, there should not be many people who know about this magazine. The reason is simple, this magazine has ceased publication around 2005, and a dead magazine certainly does not attract much attention in China, thousands of miles away.

However, in this era, the magazine, which was founded in the fifties, became famous in the world of architecture and fashion. How do you describe the status of this journal? Compare the top three academic journals in the natural sciences with "Nature", "Science" and "Cell". Due to the breadth and narrowness of the scope, "beautiful house" may not be as good as "nature" and "science", but it should be on a par with "cell". In the fashion industry, the status of "beautiful house" should be on par with the status of "VOGUE" or "ELLE", as for what "urban beauty" or "man gang" gods, it is really embarrassing to make up.

In our country, because everyone came into contact with the concept of "fashion" relatively late, they don't know much about this circle.

There was a time when there was a popular joke in China? It was said that a group of editors of Chinese fashion magazines earned 8,000 a month told a group of readers with a monthly salary of 3,000 how to spend money on a person earning 30,000 a month.

This sentence was translated into a language that everyone was more familiar with in later generations: that is, a group of petty bourgeoisie told a group of slings how the local tyrants lived.

Although this paragraph is suspected of ridicule and irony, Li Huayong believes that this passage also debunks the essence of the so-called "fashion".

Although compared with the domestic fashion circle, the top fashion magazines in Europe and the United States seem to be a different world. But the essence is actually the same.

For example, in Paris or Milan, the editors-in-chief of major fashion magazines in Europe, America and Japan always sit in the first row at the fashion week in these two cities. In the fashion world, the editors-in-chief of top fashion magazines have almost supreme power in the fashion circle, and the designers and models they recommend will quickly become popular, and many will become popular in the fashion industry.

Fashion industry experts will talk about telling everyone: celebrities are squeezing their heads in order to be on the cover of magazines, and what they have won is that once they are on these top fashion magazines, they can greatly enhance their personal brands, and they can be favored by the fashion circle and advertising endorsement manufacturers, and then they can achieve greater value......

That's right, Li Huayong thinks that this last sentence points out the essence of the so-called "fashion". The so-called fashion, the so-called forced style, that is actually still interests.

"A seemingly very compelling term coined by a group of hypocritical people for a vulgar thing. This is the essence of fashion. ”

Li Huayong is a rough man, a science and engineering man with no "artistic cells", so people like him can only use this vulgar thinking to understand the concept of "fashion".

Of course, if you can understand Li Huayong's vulgar thinking, then you should be able to understand why the "architectural fashion" is a step above other fashions.

You can think about it, other so-called fashion is nothing more than reflected in clothes, but no matter how expensive a piece of clothing is, can it be more expensive than a house?

Needless to say, the fashion industry is still a game of money. An architect sits next to a costume designer who can help people sell a lot of clothes, and an architect who can promote a new building material. So who of these two will be more sought after?

For example, one of the most famous examples in the architectural fashion industry, the concept of "glass curtain wall" should be familiar to everyone? This is a new architectural material born in the 50s, so do you know who is the first promoter of this material, not Mr. I.M. Pei, who designed the Bank of China Building.

In the early years, the technology of glass curtain wall was not up to par, and the glass strength at that time was not enough, and it often broke and fell off, but Mr. Pei's architectural design firm insisted on adopting this design for decades.

Of course, the marble that Li Huayong wants to sell to Europe is also a kind of building material, and now he certainly does not have the ability to ask Mr. I.M. Pei to help him promote this material.

However, Li Huayong knows that Mr. Pei can't be invited, but the "beautiful house" is also okay. Even from a certain point of view, if you want to promote this dark-toned and colorful marble, "beautiful house" is even more suitable than Mr. I.M. Pei.

I.M. Pei has a penchant for a "bright tone" and his designs are often imbued with a modern twist. And Li Huayong knew in his heart that the marble in his hand was obviously more suitable for the kind of building with a more classical style.

And this is precisely the specialty of "beautiful house".

"It's exciting to think about. ”

Li Huayong, who was standing outside the shed, thought of Lin Wei again, and he was smiling at this time holding a "big brick" in his hand.
