[Chapter 114: Stuck]
Chapter 114 Stuck The three of them also talked about what clothes to buy, Zhang Zhe heard Ruan Mengmeng's suggestion to buy another brand that he had not heard of, which was estimated to be mid-to-high-end, at least not as famous as these foreign luxury brands. From what she meant, it is not difficult to find that she has the intention of helping him save money, so as not to show his timidity and embarrassment when Armani spends.
What surprised Zhang Zhe the most was that although Ruan Mengmeng had this heart, she did not make fun of her, or was afraid of being embarrassed, but expressed that the clothes should be affordable and the most suitable ones should be bought, not the most expensive. Even if it's for decency, it depends. Ordinary students, part-time workers, salaried people, etc., except for a few girls who pay attention to fashion and famous brands, most of them do not know and do not know those expensive luxury brands. If others don't know each other, and if you have to introduce what brand and how much it is worth, you will lose points.
Zhang Zhe listened to these words very acceptably, in reality, most of the classmates around, including Bi Liyu, who has a family background, wear clothes that are not extravagant and expensive. For example, a shirt, regardless of the brand, judging from the clothes alone, there must be a difference between dozens and hundreds, but there is often not much difference between hundreds and thousands, because their cost and workmanship are similar. International famous brands often eliminate factories, logistics, warehousing and other links, which can be outsourced to low-cost developing countries OEM, they control the creativity, design, packaging, marketing and other links, the "virtual" aspects of the management, OEM "real" things, only need to be labeled with their brands can be sold for a large price.
Of course, because the design is more attentive, the standards are stricter, and the supervision is more in place, luxury and high-end brands must be better than similar products at low prices, but several achievements are good, and it is impossible to be as disparity as the price difference of dozens of times and hundreds of times, and the difference is psychological factors, or spiritual enjoyment. It's a good feeling to sell...... Therefore, some economists believe that the operation of luxury goods is a disguised plundering of developing countries by developed countries. For example, shoes that cost 100 yuan can be sold for 1,000 yuan after OEM, deducting the cost of each link, the brand provider earns 500 yuan for nothing, and these 500 yuan, they can import 5 pairs of shoes of the same quality of 100 yuan from developing countries. The truth is that a Chinese shoe factory gives Nike a pair of shoes, which is equivalent to giving five pairs of shoes to Americans for free at the same time; Foxconn gave Apple one mobile phone and computer, and at the same time sent five mobile phones and computers to Americans...... It wasn't even the hottest time at noon, so after chatting for a while, the three of them came out. Then Ruan Mengmeng took the two of them, shopping and searching, and finally came to a store specializing in men's clothing.
After arriving here, Zhang Zhe found that he had no right to speak, the two of them were girls, and the salesperson was also a girl, from clothes to pants, let him change one set, and after the change, they were on the side of the taste, and then changed to another set. It makes him look like a male model.
"I said two, okay? Later, people will say that we are just here to try on clothes. After trying more than a dozen sets, Zhang Zhe was a little embarrassed, and he bought two sets at most.
"It's okay, just try." The shopping guide smiled politely.
"You still say you want to learn marketing! Why don't you understand the customer and the store's mentality? Customers who come in and take a look, don't ask, don't try, go out within a few minutes, and 99% don't buy; Customers who can try on, be picky, and negotiate prices are really valuable customers with a large proportion of purchases. The more you try, the more opportunities and quantities you buy, and if they are impatient, then they are novices who don't know anything. Ruan Mengmeng asked Zhang Zhe to go in and change his clothes.
"You have a point." The shopping guide continued to smile politely.
"The last set!" Zhang Zhe took the clothes into the dressing room, and after changing his shirt, when he wanted to take off his pants, he found a problem, I don't know if it was the quality of the pants, or it was broken when I wore it just now, and the zipper of the pants couldn't be pulled down! It's just that this is a pair of pants with a relatively cinched waist, and he can't take them off without opening the zipper.
Damn, it won't be so unlucky, right? New pants try on, zipper breakage, can I encounter it? Zhang Zhe was speechless and pulled down hard, but it turned out to be even more stuck, confirming that the zipper was completely broken!
If you change places and try slowly, it is still possible to pull it apart, but now in the locker room, there is mm waiting outside, Zhang Zhe can't always be in it slowly. He thought about it for a while, and the clerks outside seemed to be all women, and it was not even convenient to find someone to help.
After trying a few times, he couldn't unzip it or take off his pants, Zhang Zhe gave up, calmed himself down a little, and thought of other ways. If he told the clerk that the zipper of their pants was broken, it would probably be a matter of riping, because he himself could not guarantee that he accidentally broke it, and theoretically if it was broken, it would be impossible for people to put it on the shelf. Just consider yourself unlucky and walk directly in these pants!
Once confirmed, he rearranged his pants, put on his shirt, and came out of the locker room.
"Look...... Hey? It's been so long, and you're still wearing the same clothes you just had, and you haven't changed them! Ruan Mengmeng quickly saw it.
"Forget it, I think this set is good, it's noon, don't try it, I'll just wear it back! You guys pick it for me and see what else fits me just after trying it. Zhang Zhe smiled reluctantly.
Seeing that he was reluctant to try, Ruan Mengmeng didn't insist anymore, and he and Gigi chose two sets from the ones they had just tried and alternatives, and then asked for his opinion.
Zhang Zhe estimated that they all thought it was okay, and the main reason for asking for advice was to see if he had brought enough money to pay the bill, or the man would be embarrassed to borrow money. He immediately asked the shopping guide to open the bill, pack, and wrap the original clothes together.
"Why can't you take it off?" There were only three of them left, Ruan Mengmeng asked in a low voice, "This dress looks clean, who knows how long it has been in the store?" I used to be in factories and warehouses, and I don't know how many people passed through. I should have taken it back and washed it before wearing it......"
For her muttering, Zhang Zhe also knew that it made sense, so he could only smile awkwardly at this time: "It's okay, I'm not informal." Ha ha! "You can't say that these pants fit too well and cinched the waist, but the zipper is broken and you can't take it off, right? That doesn't make them laugh to death!
"Wait, I'll pay for it." Zhang Zhe went to the billing area, swiped his card to pay, and came back with a shopping bag.
"Let's go! Looking for something to eat, do you want me to invite it? Or AA? Ruan Mengmeng asked with a smile.
"You accompany me for a long time, and it is right to invite you to dinner. Fast food is full, two servings are fine! Haha......"
With the mineral water pipe in front full, the two of them were not surprised. But just when discussing where to eat, Ruan Mengmeng's phone rang, and after she answered, she said to Gigi a little helplessly: "I originally wanted to take you to eat a local restaurant in Dongshan, but my mother ...... He said that the meal was ready, and he asked us to eat it. ”
Gigi smiled: "It doesn't matter, the style of the restaurant is the same everywhere now, but the cooking at home is still distinctive." Auntie's craftsmanship is also very good. ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Zhe was about to say goodbye, but Ruan Mengmeng had already said first: "Zhang Zhe, you can also go back to dinner with us!" Don't shirk, you know we don't have many days to play. You're going to have a wedding drink tomorrow, or you're going to have a treat tomorrow. I finally caught an acquaintance, so I must catch up with the old days and inquire about the situation of other classmates. ”
"But...... I'm a man, is it appropriate to go to your house? "Zhang Zhe is a little sweaty.
"Please! Is my family only allowed to socialize with girls? It's so illogical! You're my high school classmate, and it's not like I'm going to grab a guy and go back to dinner. Ruan Mengmeng laughed and laughed.
"yes, let's do it together! In the afternoon, you might be able to take us on a tour of Higashiyama University. Gigi also persuaded.
"It's not good, it's not good, I'm going to your house for dinner with the clothes I bought...... It's so unusual. I'll visit again another day! Zhang Zhe still shook his head.
Ruan Mengmeng was a little disappointed and depressed. "In the past few years...... I didn't even have a chance to meet other students, but it's a pleasure to see you today. But it looks like you're ...... Forget it, I won't force you. ”
If he just said hello and separated, Zhang Zhe wouldn't feel anything bad. But now that we've been together for a few hours, when I drank just now, I also knew that she recognized him and deliberately followed him to confirm, not the kind that passed by. Coupled with her enthusiasm, she is as familiar as an old friend...... Uh, old friends...... In general, he has become familiar with her and has become quite close to her. They had been helping him in the morning, and it was not good for her to think that she had been perfunctory.
"No, I really wanted to invite you to dinner. It's just that your family is a little presumptuous, if you don't think I'm rude like this, I don't care......" Zhang Zhe thought that going to her house should be just this time, so it doesn't matter if it's a good impression or something.
"Don't be reluctant to ......"
She didn't speak, Gigi pulled her and persuaded: "Okay, Zhang Zhe's concerns are also reasonable, you don't have a boyfriend, I'm afraid that your mother will take your boyfriend home by mistake." If only you remember to make it clear......"
Her words made both of them have steps, and Ruan Mengmeng smiled again: "Don't worry, I will emphasize that this is my high school classmate." Let's go! ”
Zhang Zhe carried the shopping bag and complained after him: "Everyone else is a girl who buys a bunch of clothes, but I buy a bunch of new clothes like this, but you don't buy anything." Also visit your house...... It really feels like that......"
"Hehe, when others go shopping, girls are happy shopping, and men are tired with them. Today we are with you! But it's better for you to go back like this, just in contrast, so that my mother knows that I didn't spend money at all. ”
I thought I was going to take a taxi, but Ruan Mengmeng took it to the parking lot, and she drove over. When he saw the car, Zhang Zhe was a little surprised and sighed. It seems that providence has made it unnecessary for me to go to your house for dinner! -- Ruan Mengmeng drives a two-seater sports car, and there is no doubt that her family is quite well-off.
