80. A shopping paradise is beginning to show its potential

Hong Kong is known as a shopping paradise in later generations, and a shadow can already be seen in Hong Kong in 76 years, Hong Kong has always been a place of serious polarization, even in the 21st century, Hong Kong is very poor where it is poor, and where it is rich, Hong Kong's department stores and Hong Kong street markets seem to be a microcosm of Hong Kong's current situation.

In 1976, Hong Kong's department stores were all places where the rich, white-collar workers, and social talents came and went.

Hong Kong is actually such a small place, and it is not very big, but the department stores are much denser than in the mainland or some developed cities in the United States, and now Hong Kong's department stores are concentrated in Kowloon or Hong Kong Island.

Hong Kong department stores are not only intensive, but also the capital is very complex, said the department store, local department stores, British department stores three major competition, the three capital compete with each other, entangled, it stands to reason that the British and Hong Kong Chinese capital in Hong Kong is the head snake, should be inherently invincible, but unfortunately in the real world, Hong Kong in 1976, the real situation is not like this, in the three capitals, the department store is obviously stronger than the other two capitals.

Founded in 1900, Sincere Department Store is one of the oldest and most prestigious department stores in Hong Kong, the first department store in the history of China, and one of the four major department stores in Shanghai during the Republic of China.

Sincere Department Store now has several branches in Hong Kong, overseas, Singapore and Malaysia also have several branches, is one of the largest department stores in Hong Kong, although Sincere Department Store is not the best and largest department store in Hong Kong, but it is one of the most popular department stores for Chinese people.

Listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Sincere is a predominantly retail-focused group with four department stores in Hong Kong, located in Central, Mong Kok, Sham Shui Po and Tsuen Wan, with a flagship store in Central with an area of over 63,000 square feet.

Chen Yihua: The others are going to the Sincere Department Store shopping mall at 173 Des Voeux Road Central, Hong Kong.

There are still a lot of rich people in Hong Kong, and those who have money in their hands also like to go to department stores, and today is a day off, so there are a lot of people.

As soon as he walked into the mall, Chen Yihua felt the lively atmosphere in his face, of course, the current shopping mall is not as fashionable as the design of later generations, and there is no such technology and equipment, but when he walked into the department store, Chen Yihua felt that the department store was indeed much more modern than other buildings outside Hong Kong, and now the department stores have used elevators.

Chen Yihua didn't want to buy any furniture or electrical appliances, just wanted to buy some luxury goods, or clothes and the like.

In fact, Chen Yihua's body developed very quickly during this period of time in Hong Kong, and he had to buy clothes every once in a while, because the original clothes were not long enough, but his clothes styles were almost the same, all of them were the same three things, suits, shirts, or sportswear, and there were so many custom-made clothes, and he had not come to the department store to buy clothes.

There are new clothes to wear, of course Chen Huier is happy, which woman doesn't love beauty, even if it's a little girl, this surname can't be changed, Chen Yihua not only bought a few clothes for Chen Huier, but also picked a few to give to Zhao Shuixin, this time she didn't refuse, knowing that Chen Yihua, a capitalist, is not short of this money, if Chen Yihua sends money to her directly, Zhao Shuixin will refuse, and she won't send things, she is not so old and stubborn.

"Little sister, stop for a moment," in the department store, Chen Yihua has already walked around the department store, but the department store is still quite big, Chen Yihua has been shopping so quickly, but the clothes have already been bought, but the mall is not halfway through.

As he walked, Chen Yihua suddenly saw a shop, so he stopped everyone.

Chen Huier walked in front, heard Chen Yihua call herself and hurriedly turned around and asked Chen Yihua what was the matter.

'Little sister, let's go in and have a look,' Chen Yihua pointed to the shop on his right hand and said to Chen Hui'er.

Chen Hui'er carefully looked at the shop that Chen Yihua wanted to enter, her eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed, and pulled Zhao Shuixin to the shop.

'Ning Mom, let's go in and have a look' to get the biggest trouble, Chen Yihua said to Ning Shujuan, when it comes to shopping, Ning Shujuan generally doesn't express her opinion, and she doesn't have anything to buy, Chen Yihua and they can go wherever they want, and Ning Shujuan listens to Chen Yihua and their commands.

Chen Yihua into the shop is a shop that sells jadeite, the brand of jadeite is called Mengheng jewelry, is a jewelry store specializing in jadeite, Hong Kong now has a lot of jewelry companies, but most of them do jewelry and diamond business, jadeite is an incidental product, rarely like Mengheng to operate jadeite-based.

Mengheng this brand of jewelry company in Hong Kong said that it is not big, it is not small, it is considered to be in the upper middle, the company's previous life is an ancestral carving workshop in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, after several generations of inheritance, has been jadeite-based, jewelry as a supplementary jewelry company, there are several branches in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong's big jewelry companies generally like to open their own branches, and do not like to settle in department stores, so in Hong Kong in 76 years, those department stores rarely see jadeite sellers.

Chen Yihua didn't expect to see a jewelry store specializing in selling jadeite in Sincere Department Store, originally one of the reasons why Chen Yihua went shopping this time was to buy a gift for Ning Shujuan, and now he has been shopping for so long, and he has bought a few clothes, but he wants to buy a gift for Ning Shujuan and has not seen a trace.

Chen Yihua himself didn't know what gift to buy for Ning Shujuan, he felt that what necklace, watch, and jewelry to buy were not suitable, and when he saw a counter selling jadeite, Chen Yihua felt that his eyes lit up, and he believed that Ning Shujuan must be suitable for jadeite.

Walking into Mengheng's counter, this shop is not very big, only about fifty square meters, and there are a few sales staff, but because there are already some customers in the store, the people in the jewelry store are entertaining other customers.

In addition, Chen Yihua and them have so many people, so for a while, no one in the store came to receive Chen Yihua and them.

Chen Yihua was also enjoying it, and he could look around.

For jadeite, Chen Yihua still has some understanding, knows some basic information, although will not identify, but now is not the future, it is now 1976, Chen Yihua believes that there should not be many fake jadeite.

The classification of jadeite in later generations is very fine, and the grades of jadeite are special, commodity, and ordinary.

And there are many categories, divided into A goods, B goods, C goods, A goods are natural jadeite refers to natural production, but the use of physical methods to process carving, polishing, polishing, without using any chemical, irradiation methods to destroy its internal structure. Goods B are jadeite after pickling, bleaching and glue injection, and goods C are jadeite after dyeing. for dyed jadeite. Regardless of whether it is acid bleached or not, whether it is glued or not, all artificially colored jadeite is called C goods.

The counterfeiting technology of jadeite in later generations is varied, and some people cut small holes and paste high jade flakes on the colorless, low-grade gambling stones with poor water head, so as to replace the inferior with the superior. Some of them glue secondary materials, waste rocks, and fakes to high-quality jadeite skin shells, and then bury them in the soil soaked in acid and alkali to make them similar to "real leather", covering up artificial traces.

Anyway, the means of counterfeiting are endless, making it impossible to prevent it, so in later generations, even the jadeite of the B and C models that have been chemically treated has become regular.

In 76 years of Hong Kong, the counterfeiting methods of jadeite are not so clever, and jadeite is not divided into a goods and b goods, so Chen Yihua is not afraid that jadeite is fake, and now most of the products on the market in Hong Kong are pure natural jadeite, Mengheng is a regular company, Chen Yihua does not believe that he is so unlucky, and he can buy fake jadeite in 76 years.

"Brother, go over and see how beautiful it is" Chen Yihua was looking at the various forms of jadeite alone on the other side, but he didn't expect Chen Hui'er to suddenly pull herself up and walk in the direction of the other side of the jade shop.

Chen Yihua was a little helpless and was pulled away by Chen Hui'er, and did not resist, it seems that Chen Hui'er has seen something good, so she also wants Chen Yihua to take a look.

Before Chen Yihua and the others came in, there were two other customers in the store, a man and a woman, there seemed to be three employees in the store, one seemed to be the manager, the man, the other two sales ladies, and the three Mengheng staff were all around the two men and a woman, I didn't know what to talk about, it was so grand, and I wanted three employees in the store to accompany them.

The direction in which Chen Hui'er pulled Chen Yihua was the direction where the crowd was.

"Brother, look at the jade bracelet in that person's hand" Chen Hui'er pulled Chen Yihua to stop, and then whispered in Chen Yihua's ear, as if she was afraid of being heard by others, and then pointed to what she wanted to show Chen Yihua with her finger.

Chen Yihua followed Chen Hui'er's pointing, and looked at the hand of the male customer who had arrived earlier than Chen Yihua.

Chen Yihua only felt that his eyes were bright, and a touch of strong green color immediately attracted Chen Yihua's eyes, Chen Yihua fixed his eyes, and a transparent as water but with a soft luster, delicate and pure flawless, and the color was pure, bright, rich and uniform, and the emerald green jade bracelet appeared in front of Chen Yihua's eyes.
