Bai Wenyan smiled, "Thank you, Doudou says that your meat buns are delicious all day long, and they quarrel with me to eat meat buns." As a result, I bought it for her from outside, but she didn't eat it. I'll try it and see if it's really that good. ”

Li Xi nodded, entered the inner room, and took off all the remaining buttons from the button tree.

The buttons are taken off and the buttons grow back on the tree.

Li Xi took the button and returned to the hall.

Bai Wenyan was eating a meat bun in his hand, and when he saw Li Xi, he couldn't help asking, "Li Xi, how do you make your meat buns?"

Where did Li Xi know how to do it, and responded vaguely, "If it's delicious, you can eat more." ”

Bai Wenyan saw that he was vague and didn't seem to want to answer his question, so he didn't continue to ask.

Li Xi put down the buttons he had taken off, and there were a lot of buttons growing on the button tree, and they wanted to be filled with a large bucket, Li Xi poured the big bucket full of buttons on the table, "Look at these buttons." ”

Bai Wenyan was dazzled for a moment, and said in surprise: "So many buttons!"

"I don't know if it will work. Li Xi reached out and pulled a few times inside the buttons, picking out a few identical buttons.

Bai Wenyan also reached out to pick and choose in the pile of buttons, her action of picking buttons was obviously much more skilled than Li Xi, and in a moment, she found several identical buttons.

These buttons are all jadeite, and Bai Wenyan put them together for comparison. After a few closer looks, I was surprised again, "The texture of these buttons is exactly the same!"

"Really, right?" Li Xi took the buttons Bai Wenyan picked out in front of him and looked at them, "It's all the same." ”

"It's all the same. Bai Wenyan looked at Li Xi in surprise, "Li Xi, where did these buttons of yours come from?"

Li Xi deliberately avoided this question, "These buttons, can you still use them?"

"Absolutely. Bai Wenyan did not hesitate, "But, how come I don't know which company in our city can produce such buttons?"

Li Xi smiled and asked, "You seem to know a lot about the button company in Linshi?"

"That's for sure. Bai Wenyan glanced at Li Xi strangely, "You don't know what I do, do you?"

Li Xi really didn't pay attention to what the other party was doing, and generously admitted, "I really didn't pay attention to it." ”

Bai Wenyan couldn't help but glance at Li Xi, but he wasn't very angry, "Also, you are so busy every day, let me tell you myself, I am a costume designer, specializing in designing costumes and dresses for some celebrities or public figures." ”

"It sounds like a very high-end job. Li Xi pondered for a while, gave an evaluation, and asked casually, "How are you doing?"

"Okay, right?" Bai Wenyan said: "I have designed clothes for several female stars. ”

"Really?" Li Xi became interested, smiled and asked, "Which stars are they?"

"It's not particularly famous, you probably haven't heard of it. Bai Wenyan said and said a few names, Li Xi really hadn't heard of it, and shook his head.

"Look!" Bai Wenyan saw Li Xi's movements, and spread his hands helplessly.

Li Xi pulled the topic back, "How about you look at these buttons? ”

"Very good, these buttons, if put on top of the clothes, will definitely add a lot of color to the clothes. Bai Wenyan said as he picked out a few big buttons from the pile of buttons, "Good buttons, embellished on the clothes, can not only be finished by buttoning up the clothes, but also can play a decorative role." For example, these jade buttons, if placed on top of a women's evening dress, will definitely be able to add more brilliance to this evening dress. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped and asked Li Xi, "Li Xi, can I pick a few buttons from you?" Don't worry, I'll buy them with money." ”

"If you like it, just take it, and you don't have to pay for it. Li Xi waved his hand very happily.

"How can that work?" Bai Wenyan shook his head slightly, "These buttons, if they are really taken out and sold, the price is actually quite expensive, especially these buttons that can form a set." ”

As he spoke, he picked out several identical white jade buttons and put them together, just enough to form a set of patterns. Li Xi couldn't see it when he looked at it at first, but after Bai Wenyan put it together, he immediately saw it.

These white jade buttons, put together, immediately give people a completely different feeling.

Bai Wenyan exclaimed: "These buttons, put together, can design a set of clothes." When people design clothes, they should choose buttons according to the style of the clothes. But your buttons here are so beautiful, you can design your clothes according to the style of the buttons. ”

After a pause, he added: "Some high-end dresses, the price is very expensive. The most high-end kind can even reach tens of millions or tens of millions. ”

It was the first time Li Xi had heard someone talk about the price of high-end dresses, and he was already very rich now, and he couldn't help but be surprised to hear that the value of a dress had reached tens of millions or tens of millions.

"Such an expensive dress, and someone wears it?"

Bai Wenyan smiled when he heard this, "The more upscale it is, the less you have to worry about not being able to sell it." Gatherings in certain circles of high society are nothing if they are not well behaved, or even have a bad demeanor. But if you're poorly dressed, you're going to make people laugh at you. Especially in some circles of high society, the comparison is serious, the more expensive things are, the more they like to take them out to show off, clothes, jewelry, these things that can be exposed to the outside and can be seen at a glance are the best things to take out and compare. ”

After a pause, he continued: "You may not have attended this kind of party, in fact, the gathering of these people is the real braggart. Everyone gets together and brags to each other, talking to each other about what they have been doing lately, what kind of achievements they have made, how much money they have made recently, and so on. ”

Li Xi couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard Bai Wenyan mention the bragging meeting, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case. He really didn't attend these upper-class gatherings, but he saw them in movies or on TV.

When everyone gets together, the first thing is to introduce what they do, what kind of achievements they have, and so on.

In addition, in such gatherings, there are usually some performances, releases, and so on. Even some directors and artists will use attending such gatherings as a ladder to advancement, meet a few rich people at the party, pull some investment, or get a role in a certain movie, etc.

In short, after everyone met, they all blindly wanted to exaggerate their achievements, and Bai Wenyan's description of bragging was not bad at all.

Bai Wenyan glanced at Li Xi, and continued: "Although I don't know what you've been busy with all along. However, I think it is definitely good for you to attend more of these gatherings and get to know a few more people in the upper echelons of society when you have free time. ”

"Really?" Li Xi asked lightly, thoughtfully. Now he is indeed a little too homely.

"yes. Bai Wenyan smiled: "You are too busy, and you have been staying at home, this is not good, you know, the money in this world can never be earned." ”

When Li Yi heard the last words, he finally moved. Yes, money is endless, and there is really no need for me to keep thinking about making money.

But Bai Wenyan continued: "The gatherings of these celebrities are basically attended by people of a certain class. The purpose of participating is not only to brag, but also to share resources and get to know people. Just like you, you see, you have so many good buttons in your home, but it wasn't until I saw them that I realized the value of these buttons. Isn't it because you're too homely and too narrow?"

"If you know enough people, a few more fashion designers, a few more clothing business CEOs, and then you have this thing, just ask, don't you immediately sell these buttons? Your buttons are so good, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell them. ”

"Just like me, I do costume design, and after the dress is made, who is the expensive dress to sell to? But I only need to go to one of these parties and wear the dress I designed on my body, and then I can show my dress. Those rich rich ladies, after seeing it, as long as they like it, they will naturally come over and ask. ”

"You know, in the whole city, the real purchasing power is basically on this kind of party. So, when you go to a party, you basically don't have to deliberately advertise or promote your products. Your product is naturally marketed. ”

Li Xi nodded when he heard this, and Bai Wenyan continued: "So, don't think that these gatherings are delaying, in fact, they are not, on these gatherings, you can meet many people, and you can also promote your own products." Basically everything you want to do can be done at a party like this. And the vast majority of people who attend the party have one or another intention in mind, and none of them have played in the past. ”

"There is also a reason for comparison, and the reason why you want to dress well is to show that you have money. When you have money, everyone is willing to do business with you, and only then can they dare to do business with you with confidence. ”

Li Xi nodded again when he heard this, he really didn't realize that a party in high society contained so much content.

Before listening to Bai Wenyan's introduction, he always thought that such a gathering was just for leisure and entertainment, but now he realized that it was not, and the upper class, especially people of a certain class, really did not have so much leisure.

Seeing him nodding, Bai Wenyan continued, "In our country, this kind of gathering is quite rare, mainly because there are too many unspoken rules, coupled with the unfreedom of the economic system itself, who to do business with and who not to do business with is not determined by whether or not to make money, there are too many external influencing factors." ”

"However, with the involvement of foreign capital, the economic system is becoming more and more open, and the relevant departments are interfering less and less in this regard, and such gatherings are gradually increasing. ”

Li Xi nodded again, as an otaku who has never cared about national affairs, this kind of thing, Bai Wenyan didn't say it, he really didn't pay attention to it.

But Bai Wenyan smiled when he heard it: "So, you still have to attend more parties in the future." Attending more gatherings like this will really benefit you. ”

Li Xi extended the topic, asked for some details, and found that Bai Wenyan's communication was really wide. At least in Linshi, there is a certain amount of contact with most of the upper-class people, even if they are not friends, they definitely do not belong to the kind of strangers.

Then the topic returned to buttons, Bai Wenyan said: "I can't say what the value of these buttons is." However, the buttons are so beautiful and so meticulously made, they must be worth a lot of money. ”

Pick out a few of the various buttons, put them on the table, compare them one by one, and finally point to a gold button, "Buttons made of gold must be the least valuable, but even if they are not valuable, a button, just for this workmanship, I am afraid that it can be sold for two or three thousand, or even three or four thousand." ”

"Emerald buttons, and agate buttons, as well as this kind of gemstone buttons, are quite valuable, and it doesn't matter if a button sells for tens of thousands of dollars. ”

A button is tens of thousands, a tree button, and it is at least a few million.

This is also because the current button tree is too small, and the number of buttons on a tree is limited. If this button tree can be cultivated into a big tree, the value of a button tree can easily reach tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.

In this way, the value that this button tree can create is even greater than the fruit of life.

Don't even wait for this button tree to grow, even if it is the current button tree, the buttons on a tree, according to Bai Wenyan, can be worth millions.

The value of a few million is far more than the value of a tree's life fruit of 300,000.

This is the value of a true luxury, which cannot be measured at all in terms of normal value.

Bai Wenyan said while selecting buttons: "Li Xi, I'll choose some buttons and I'll give you the money when I go back." ”

"Forget it. Li Xi waved his hand again, "You like these buttons, even if you pick them, take them." As for money, it's just that you told me so much and handed over your tuition. ”

"How can that work?" Bai Wenyan smiled softly, admiring Li Xi's generosity. She didn't know that Li Xi was actually for the Golden Wind Scissors, and intended to make some compensation to her.

"Otherwise, I'll give you a dividend when I make clothes out of these buttons and sell them. It also saves money at this time, which makes you suffer. ”

"If you're willing to do that, so be it. Li Xi was not reluctant, lest Bai Wenyan would have other ideas.

When Bai Wenyan heard him say this, he picked the buttons with peace of mind.

Picked out a few buttons, raised his head, and said to Li Xi again: "Today you tore up my passport, causing me to do a big business." But with these buttons, I can make up for this loss from other places. So, I'll forgive you for tearing up your passport. ”

Li Xi smiled when he heard her say this, and he didn't defend himself.

However, at this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang. (To be continued.) )
