After getting off the train, I hurriedly instructed Xiao Dezi to inquire about the schedule.

Later, it was learned from the port that due to the storm off the coast of the south, the British cruise ship Victoria, which travels from London to Mumbai, Hong Kong, Shanghai to Tianjin, will not arrive in port until five days later.

Other ships with shipping schedules, after I saw the condition of the berth, turned around and left, not to mention the small boats, and the rusty ones, I said that I would not take these ships at all. There is no way, I can't leave tomorrow, so I can only stay and wait in Tianjin temporarily.

I've never been on a cruise ship in my life! Now it's so easy to have a chance, we are rich now, and we want to take the best cruise ship anyway.

The Victoria is currently one of the most luxurious cruise ships in the world, not to mention the safety of the ship, but also the living facilities.

More importantly, the Victoria was a ship of the East India Company, and the East India Company was very strong off the coast of China, and there was no need to be afraid even if it met a small Japanese warship at sea, because the rubber and oil trade between the Japanese government and the British government was now traded through the East India Company. Therefore, Little Japan also gave face to the British, and generally did not trouble the British ships.

It's okay if I can't leave for a while, but it just gives me time to buy guns and change people's clothes.

I've long seen my group dressed in a variety of ways that don't please the eye, which is also an aesthetic problem I brought from modern times.

Look at the clothes of the people, long robes and horse coats, cloth shoes and short shirts, there should be more soil and more soil. Let's go to the big Shanghai of the Ten Mile Ocean!

It's a world where money is the master, and you can't talk about business in a low-key world.

At this time, if you don't pretend to be B, when will you stay?! What's more, we are really rich people now, not pretending to be B.

After arranging the hotel, the third aunt, who couldn't bear to look at it directly, walked out of the hotel gate with excitement.

I inquired about one of the most powerful tailors nearby, a large tailor shop run by the French, and rushed over.

(I don't know what to call a store that makes clothes to order for foreigners?) So simply call it the "tailor shop" that Chinese know! ）

Entering the tailor's shop, the receptionist directly called the owner of the tailor's shop, who is also the manager Anthony.

I saw an old French man with sleeves and a tape measure come out of the room, and after one look at me, he turned his head to the reception and spoke French. "Don't call me anyone in the future, I'm busy, and my time is precious."

Looking at the arrogant old Frenchman, speaking a dialect of Toulouse French, I felt the urge to laugh.

Thought I didn't understand French, especially the Toulouse French he spoke. This French dialect claims to be the sexiest French. The spread is not wide, because his pronunciation is too difficult. But what he didn't know was that there was a linguistic genius in the depths of my soul. Not to mention Toulouse French, but also to understand the slang of the French countryside, not only can I understand but also speak and write, without any obstacles.

But the old French man thought that such a small dialect could not be understood even in Europe, let alone in the Far East, where there was a different language family.

Therefore, the old man complained in front of the guests that he had delayed his precious time, and did not even look at us, thinking that we were unworthy of his personal reception.

This is to blame this old French man, looking at the lady in the cheongsam and the young man in the outdated suit with a large lapel, it doesn't look like a rich man who is willing to spend money to catch up with fashion.

"Nope! No! No! Mr. Anthony! You are wrong, now is your time to delay us. ”

Looking at the old French man who was still complaining, I opened my mouth with amusement.

"Oh! Oh, my God! ~~~ What do I hear? ~~~ You can speak Toulouse French?! ”

The old man Anthony stopped his rambling, turned his head in surprise, and put his hand on his head exaggeratedly, and looked at the young man who could speak his native language fluently.

"Yes! Mr! I studied in beautiful France. ”

I politely pressed my right hand on my left chest, bowed slightly, and replied with a smile.

"Oh! Yes, yes, France is a beautiful country! ”

After a pause,

"China is also beautiful! She's charming too, isn't she! ”

The old man probably thought it was rude to say this, and quickly added.

From the time I came into contact with it to the present, I actually don't hate this old foreign man. From what he said, I also heard that this old man's arrogance did not really discriminate against Chinese. His dedication to work alone makes him hate anyone who wastes his working hours.

"Mr. Anthony, let's stop praising our respective motherland, they are all very beautiful! Isn't it! For the sake of your precious time, shouldn't we talk about business? ”

"Oh! Yes! Yes! Please come to my office. ”

The old man hurriedly said, and then turned back and shouted to the reception:

"Leon! Go make two cups of coffee and bring them to my office, no! No! It's to make two cups of Biluo spring tea, hurry up! What are you bastards doing in a daze? Be careful that I deduct your paycheck! ”

This old man is really grumpy! ~~~~~~

In the studio and office of the old French man Anthony, I took out the pre-drawn clothing drawings, don't think about it, they are simple clothing renderings, not real clothing designs, and I am not a fashion designer, so I can't design drawings.

Of course, the pictures I drew are the renderings of the classic styles in the memory of later generations.

"Oh! Oh, my God! You are a great costume designer! The costume design is fantastic! ”

When the old man saw the renderings, he was shocked and amazed. This is very annoying for foreigners, and they say "Oh! Oh, my God! "Oh! Oh, God! "of. Isn't it the single-button small lapel corset suit and the hip-hugging women's professional suit that is on the rotten street in later generations? As for it? I regret giving this old man a good impression.

After discussing the details with Anthony, I talked for a long time. The old man was an expert after all, and he quickly understood what I meant, and said that there was no problem. And when he was allowed to leave the drawings, he happily agreed to order twenty-two sets of clothes for free according to the size and drawings I had given. And repeatedly assured that it would be available in three days.

I tailor-made two uniforms for each person, let's call them uniforms for the time being, everything is for the trip to Shanghai.

In the future, after the start of the career, it will definitely be customized according to the professional design. No way, this is also a problem brought from modern times.

For me, who was born in the people's army, the uniform dress of the same collective is an obsession in my heart, and I have no compromise.

Now one person and two bodies can temporarily have a change of clothes and replacement, and the rest will be purchased in Shanghai.

In the department store in the French Concession in Tianjin, I bought a pair of leather shoes for each person. Of course, I bought high heels for my aunt's wife, and the current high heels are not as exaggerated as in later generations, but they are also high enough, hehe~~~ Think about the beautiful aunt who has not worn high heels, and the appearance of wearing high heels, I can't help but steal fun! ~~~~~~

With the costume out of the way, all that's left is to buy a self-defense weapon.

Although I don't know an arms dealer, I know that in this day and age, all you need to do is find a gang or a foreign company that sells machinery.

After sending your purchases back to the hotel. I looked at my watch and it was already 12 o'clock, and it was time to eat.

The streets of Tianjin are mixed, and it is very unsafe for us to have so many female dependents. In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, I decided to eat Western food at the hotel's restaurant.

"It's not delicious!"

After the meal was full of foreign appearances, my third aunt Li Yulan gently pressed the corner of her mouth with a precious silk handkerchief and said contemptuously.

"Therefore, not all foreigners' things are good, and Western food is the same. What our people have is a rarity, come and taste it; Some people are fashionable and think that eating Western food is very modern; There are also those who purely worship foreign flattery, and think that eating Western food from foreign adults is superior to others, and these scumbags think that foreign adults' farts are fragrant. "I was very helpless about the current situation of the Chinese people, and explained to my aunt who was eating Western food for the first time.

"Is it a knife and a fork, a knife and a fork? Or do you eat? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse! ”

Li Yulan disdains this cumbersome way of eating.

"Hehehe! ~~~ Yes! You've found out?! My Aunt Lan is smart! ”

I didn't hesitate to praise this somewhat tsundere little woman.

"In the afternoon, I'm going to go to the foreign company in Quanyechang, you guys have a good rest in the hotel, don't go out, it's not safe outside!"

Back on the floor, I told everyone at the elevator entrance.

"The men are free to roam, and there must be two bodyguards left in the store, and you can decide who to keep. Others can go out and hang out, but must come back before dark. ”

"Yes! Second master! The crowd answered in unison.

"Second master! Before the old lady went out, she instructed that the second master should not be allowed to go out alone, and someone must follow. "Mr. Yu, the bookkeeper, saw that I was going out alone, and hurriedly reminded.

"Then Xiao Dezi will follow me!" I pondered for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Yu, go buy some gifts in the afternoon, tomorrow I will go to visit my father's old friend, who my father asked at home." ”

"Okay, second master! What are the rules for buying gifts? "Mr. Yu is the old man in the family, and he knows it very well.

The door-to-door gift is not just a casual purchase, there is a lot of attention to it. What relationship? What door? The pure visit of the younger generation or the exchange of gifts between the two families, this is all in order, and if you send it wrong, you will offend people!

"Let's hand it over to the world!"

"Okay, I see, I'll do it in the afternoon."

Not to mention that there is an old family and a treasure! If it hadn't been for Mr. Yu's reminder, I would have forgotten about this stubble. I suddenly remembered that I went out this time with all the silver tickets, and many foreign merchants did not accept silver tickets. He quickly commanded again:

"In addition, Mr. Yu, you have to take the time to go to Citibank in the afternoon and exchange all the silver notes we brought out this time for Citibank cashier's checks."

"Second master! Our silver ticket is Deshengchang's, which can be exchanged nationwide. We will suffer a loss if we change the bank cashier's check, and the bank will collect money and interest, which is not cost-effective! Lao Yu was afraid that I didn't know how to do it, so he hurriedly reminded.

"I know that. We can afford this little bit of interest. We went to Shanghai this time to do a big international business, and it is not enough to be able to exchange it in China. ”

"Then come according to the second master's wishes!"

After the order was finished, I saw that the ladies had gone back to their rooms, and then I turned around and walked out of the hotel.
