"Wait, you can't do something unsightly with the female fan who pulled you away, right?"

After listening to Zhu Lin's questioning, which can be called a blow to the soul, if he replaced Cao Zhiqiang in the past, how could he be slightly embarrassed, but now he will not.

Because he has long been out of the novice village, his experience level is already comparable to that of an elite monster.

I saw Cao Zhiqiang immediately frown lightly and sighed, and then said with a helpless look on his face:

"Sister Zhu, do you think I'm the kind of casual person?

Do you think I'm going to do something unsavory with a female fan who's not known for a long time, well, female fan? ”

"Then who knows." Zhu Lin clasped his arms and squinted at him, "Maybe you think people are young and beautiful, and you want to try it." ”

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head speechlessly: "Sister Zhu, you understand me, how can I be that kind of superficial person?" Even if it were, I wouldn't be here.

After all, this is a foreign country, I am not familiar with the place, and I have no backing, how dare I mess around? ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Lin's face softened: "Then why haven't you heard from you since you were taken away?" Do you know how worried I am about you? ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "I knew you were worried about me, so I ......"

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly frowned, and then said with a hippie smile: "No, Sister Zhu, this matter is a long story, you won't just talk to me at the door about this topic, right?" Shall we go in and talk? Otherwise, you can go out and find a warm place to talk, it's weirdly cold at the door. ”

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang's appearance, Zhu Lin glanced at him, and then let go: "Come in." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and hurriedly rubbed his hands and entered the door.

This is not Cao Zhiqiang pretending, it is really cold outside.

No way, Tokyo is close to the sea, the climate is humid, and the humidity in the air is relatively high.

In this environment, it's fine in the summer, but when it's winter, it's really choking.

Because it is wet and cold in winter, it is different from the dry and cold climate of the capital area in China, which is a bit similar to the climate of Jinling, but in terms of physical feeling, Tokyo is colder than Jinling.

After all, the latitude in Tokyo is a little higher than that of Jinling, and the humidity is also higher, so it will feel colder in winter.

Relatively speaking, although the capital in China is at a higher latitude, the air humidity is low, it is dry and cold, and everyone likes to wear thick cotton clothes and other things in winter, so from the physical point of view, it feels a little better than in Tokyo.

After Cao Zhiqiang came to Tokyo, because of environmental factors, he also followed the local customs, and usually wore very little, basically a cashmere sweater, a jacket on the outside, and the lower body was generally a pair of fleece jeans or leather pants, plus a pair of fleece boots.

This kind of dress, to be honest, is not frost resistant.

It's just that Cao Zhiqiang rarely does long-term activities outdoors, most of them are indoors, and even if he goes out, he usually takes a taxi, so it's okay.

But today's weather is very cold, Cao Zhiqiang has done continuous strenuous exercise with Sayuri Yoshinaga before, and his resistance has decreased a little, so he is naturally more afraid of the cold.

Sure enough, not long after Cao Zhiqiang entered the house, he immediately sneezed.

This is a normal phenomenon caused by excessive temperature differences.

It can't be helped, who makes it too warm in the house.

"Oops!" Zhu Lin, who saw Cao Zhiqiang sneezing, hurriedly said, "You have a cold, right?" Wait, I'll get you toilet paper. ”

After speaking, Zhu Lin walked quickly to the kitchen, picked up a roll of toilet paper and ran over, and kindly tore off a section and handed it to Cao Zhiqiang.

Seeing this roll of toilet paper, Cao Zhiqiang was suddenly stunned.

Well, in fact, at this time there was already pumping paper in Japan, but the price of pumping paper was several times more expensive than this kind of toilet paper in rolls.

Therefore, from the perspective of cost performance, rolls of toilet paper are more suitable.

However, from the point of view of convenience, it is better to draw paper, so when Cao Zhiqiang usually lives with Akina Nakamori, he usually uses paper every day, and this kind of rolling paper is generally used to wipe his ass.

Of course, in this one-family house, Cao Zhiqiang also bought a lot of paper, but Zhu Lin and these people were obviously useless, but bought another roll of paper.

"Why don't you draw paper?" Cao Zhiqiang, who wiped his nose, asked.

"That's too expensive." Zhu Lin smiled, "We were a little reluctant, so we bought a new roll of paper, which is also very easy to use and cheap." ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded, and didn't explain anything anymore.

After all, this concept of frugality is difficult to change for a while, and there is no need to force it to change.

When her income is higher in the future and her life is better, she will naturally change in terms of food and clothing.

After throwing the toilet paper that had wiped his nose into the garbage basket, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly looked left and right: "Huh? Why are you alone? What about Lao Xu and Xiao Xu? ”

Lao Xu is talking about Xu Qingdong, and Xiao Xu is naturally Xu Chun.

In private, Cao Zhiqiang calls the two of them Lao Xu and Xiao Xu.

Sure enough, after hearing Cao Zhiqiang's doubts, Zhu Lin immediately smiled and said: "Oh, Director Xu loves to move, and he felt that it was too boring to stay here, so he went out for a walk, and Secretary Xu went with him, after all, Secretary Xu can speak Japanese." ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "I see." ”

Indeed, Xu Qingdong is actually a person who can't be idle, especially when he arrives in the bustling city of Tokyo, so he naturally wants to take this opportunity to look around.

And to be honest, there was no Xu Qingdong on this trip to Tokyo, only Zhu Lin alone, at least that's what Warner and Dongbao meant.

But Cao Zhiqiang felt that it was not appropriate to let Zhu Lin come alone, so he called Xu Qingdong to come with him.

Xu Qingdong is also the executive director, and not only most of the filming of the film was completed by him, but even the film crew was formed by him, and the role cannot be ignored, so it is no problem to call him over.

It's a pity that after Xu Qingdong came, he didn't have much chance to show his face.

Originally, he would have participated in the activities of the autograph sales party, but who knew that he would be disturbed by Cao Zhiqiang again.

Fortunately, Xu Qingdong didn't care about this, after all, he came over this time, and he was just going to play.

Therefore, Lao Xu's mentality is very positive, even if no one pays attention to him after he comes, he still smiles, and for the "activity funds" given by Cao Zhiqiang, he does not refuse to come, buys and buys everywhere, and has a lot of fun.

Relatively speaking, Zhu Lin is much more conservative and cautious, and usually doesn't go out if she can, and the "activity funds" given to her are basically not spent.

Even if Zhu Lin also bought a few clothes and cosmetics, they were all popular goods with relatively close prices.

Of course, in Tokyo, even the prices of so-called affordable mass goods are much higher than in Japan, and they are much higher.

After all, Japan is a developed country, and Tokyo is the most developed city area in Japan, so it is normal for prices to be a little more expensive.

In fact, the current Chinese people don't have too many brand concepts.

In other words, because the country has not completely come out of the shadow of lack of materials, most of the Chinese people do not like to pay more brand premiums, but first pursue cost-effective, or first pursue cheap and easy to use, and then brand premiums.

At this time, in China, whether it is food or clothing, homogenization is serious, and there is basically no concept of fashion.

This is not to say that everyone does not pursue beauty, mainly because they are shy in their pockets and lack of high-quality and inexpensive fashion brands.

At the same time, there are no international brands in China, such as Hermes, Chanel, LV, Prada and other famous brand clothing in the later period, as well as famous watches such as Rolex and Patek Philippe, most Chinese people have never heard of it.

What really makes Chinese people begin to understand those international famous brand goods really depends on the satellite TV Chinese channel under the Satellite TV Co., Ltd. engaged by Li Jiacheng, and this satellite TV Co., Ltd. is actually the later Phoenix Satellite TV.

This satellite TV Chinese station, because it is a satellite broadcast, so not only Xiangjiang can receive the signal, but also the entire Asian region, including most of the mainland, can receive the company's satellite signal.

At that time, the management of these satellite signals in China was relatively relaxed, so many people could receive the signal of the satellite TV Chinese station and see the satellite TV Chinese station.

It is through watching the Chinese channel of Satellite TV that Chinese people can not only watch Xiangjiang's movies and TV series for free, but also see many exquisite advertisements, and thus meet many international brands.

It was then that most people in the country learned the true meaning of luxury.

But that had to be after 1991, after all, the satellite TV Chinese channel in his previous life was only launched in 1991, and before that, due to a series of reasons, the Chinese people knew very little about Xiangjiang, and they watched several TV series introduced by Xiangjiang, such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and the like.

Of course, due to the mid-to-late 80s, there was a wave of video hall craze in China, so many young people learned about the prosperity of Xiangjiang through the videotapes of Xiangjiang, especially the videotapes of modern urban dramas, but after all, it was not real.

At that time, everyone imitated their dress at most for the Xiangjiang people in the videotape, but they didn't know what brand of clothes, what brand of jewelry, what brand of watches, luxury cars, etc., and there was no channel to understand.

It is precisely because of the information asymmetry that Xiangjiang apple jeans have become popular in China and have become the so-called brand-name goods.

However, most people at that time didn't know that the so-called Xiangjiang apple was just a copycat, and the apple brand denim of the copycat family in the United States was the famous Texwood denim.

There is also the popular Pierre Cardin in the eighties and nineties, that is, the suit brand that was displayed in front of the stupid pillar after Xu Damao did business, in fact, in developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan, it is just a small brand that does not enter the stream.

It's just that the founder of Pierre Cardin was very discerning, came to China early to develop, and held the first large-scale international fashion show in Beijing after the reopening.

After that, he took advantage of the situation to open a Pierre Cardin store in the capital, specializing in selling high-end men's clothing of the Pierre Cardin brand, and since then, the Chinese people thought that this brand was very good, and they were proud to wear Pierre Cardin.

By the way, what about that Mr. Pierre Cardin, in this world, so far, there has not been the so-called first domestic fashion show in the capital.

Not to mention the fashion show, in this world, it is difficult to say whether Mr. Pierre Cardin came to China to negotiate the business cooperation business of the garment factory.

However, if everything does not change, it is likely that Mr. Pierre Cardin will cooperate with China to build a garment factory and a fashion show, which is a matter of time.

The reason why I say this is because Pierre Cardin's job is a fashion designer, and he did appear in the capital at this time, and invested in business in the capital.

It's just that Mr. Pierre Cardin, the first business he engaged in after coming to the capital was not his old business, but opening a restaurant.

That's right, Mr. Pierre Cardin, in July this year, opened a Western restaurant called Maxim's Restaurant in the capital, and at the end of September this year, it was officially opened to the public.

In other words, Pierre Cardin has begun to invest tentatively in the hinterland, but he is more cautious and has not been the first to engage in fashion clothing brands.

In fact, Pierre Cardin's caution is right, after all, the country has just opened up, and many changes in concepts need to come little by little.

In addition to the change in attitudes, in 1983 the Chinese people were also generally poor, and most people could not afford to buy high-end brand goods, or even if they could, they would not buy them because they would feel that it was not cost-effective.

In short, in the final analysis, that is, too little knowledge!

It is precisely because most of the Chinese people have little knowledge and little money in their pockets, so even if there are really big-name clothes entering the country, they can only operate at a loss at this time.

Don't look at the fact that there are already a lot of foreign garbage refurbished trendy clothes at this time, but the cost of those clothes is low.

How high is the cost of big-name clothing, how many Chinese people can afford it, or even if they can, who dares to wear it? Even if you do wear it, who will know what you are wearing?

What is the true value of branded goods and luxury goods?

Is it really a good material and a good workmanship?

Wrong!

The real value of brand goods and luxury goods lies in the fact that everyone knows that you are very expensive, and then after you wear it, everyone recognizes it and knows that you are wearing very expensive clothes, so that you can be different and pretend to be hidden.

To put it bluntly, the value of luxury lies in pretending!

If you wear a very expensive brand, but everyone doesn't know the brand you wear, doesn't know that the brand you wear is very expensive, and will not project envy, jealousy and hatred at you, then you can't pretend to be forced.

can't pretend to be forced, so naturally I lose the pleasure of pretending.

This is called throwing flattery to the blind, and it is a waste of effort.

In the same way, although Zhu Lin is already a person with a good income in China, due to the general environment, even if her income is a little higher than that of ordinary people, her high is limited, and it is not outrageously high.

At the same time, limited by the problem of information channels, even if Zhu Lin is a high-level intellectual, he knows some domestic brands at most.

For example, Shanghai woman alabaster, palace lamp almond honey, pechoin and other things.

Even the later domestic high-quality bee flower shampoo did not appear at this time.

In fact, Zhu Lin can know Pechoin, know the almond honey of the palace lamp, and know the alabaster of Shanghai women, which is already very good.

At this time, many ordinary people in China have never even heard of the name Pechoin, let alone used it.

In this case, if you go to tell him about Shiseido, Maybelline, or L'Oreal, the other party will only look confused.

In fact, for the Chinese people at this time, you don't need to tell them about any real international brands, as long as you bring a brand with a foreign taste, they will feel amazing, and then as long as the price is right, they will buy like crazy.

Therefore, two thousand years ago, all kinds of fake foreign brands were popular in China, and business was booming, and many of them even became bigger and stronger.

For example, Jieshibang, as well as Mousse, are all masters in this.

Of course, most of the fake foreign brands have overturned later, and there are still very few that can really succeed in transformation.

From this point of view, it may still be very difficult to make Zhu Lin realize the value of luxury goods at this time.

But it doesn't matter.

Zhu Lin doesn't understand international brands, but we understand.

And Zhu Lin doesn't know that the brand value doesn't matter, just know the price.

Just take her to buy expensive luxury goods, yes.

Anyway, it's just taking the opportunity to brush up on money.

She has gained benefits and knowledge, and I will definitely not lose, everyone can get what they want.

Win-win!
