Not to mention, the high-end luxury store is different, not only the decoration is good, the environment is good, but also a reception room with a smoking area and a non-smoking area, which is specially convenient for male companions like Cao Zhiqiang to rest and wait here.

That is, if a man and a woman come in, then the male companion who accompanies her can wait in the reception room while the woman is changing.

Not only are there the latest newspapers and magazines, but there are also a variety of best-selling comic books, and even a Walkman with headphones, so you can kill time.

If you don't like these, there is also a special person here, what coffee and green tea, what candy and drink, basically have preparation.

If you like to be quiet, no one will disturb you.

If you like to be lively, you will have someone to chat with you.

In short, after coming here, you will definitely be able to wait comfortably, and you will definitely not be irritable.

In this regard, Cao Zhiqiang can only sigh from the bottom of his heart, after all, this kind of home-like service level is really amazing.

However, it may also be a local custom, adding some Japanese service concepts.

Anyway, Cao Zhiqiang remembered that the Hermes store he had visited with people in his previous life did not have this kind of high-end reception service.

Of course, it may also be the store that Cao Zhiqiang went to in his previous life, and the grade is not enough.

After all, luxury stores are also divided into situations, and different chain stores under the same brand are actually divided into grades, and different chain stores of the same brand must also be different.

In addition, in terms of service, at least on the bright side, the Chinese people really can't do it to the same extent as Japan, after all, the national conditions are different.

Therefore, even luxury stores do not dare to do too much at home, but abroad, especially in countries like Japan, it is different.

Otherwise, in the previous life, many rich people liked to go abroad to spend, but the domestic service ceiling was very low, and the foreign service ceiling was much higher.

Don't say anything else, just say that the Crazy Horse Show is a kind of venue, you don't dare to open it openly in China, even if you reluctantly open it, it won't be open for a long time, and sooner or later it will be banned.

Even if the Crazy Horse show is a bit extreme, let's talk about normal comparisons, such as the so-called five-star hotels.

It is also a five-star hotel, and the service quality in China is actually not as good as that in foreign countries.

The quality of service mentioned here is not the most basic ones, but some services that China does not dare to do.

For example, calling chicken, a five-star hotel in China, is absolutely afraid to come openly, and it is generally not allowed in secret, but in foreign countries, this is a very normal service.

There is also gambling, which is expressly prohibited in China, but in many five-star hotels abroad, this is also a basic service, and even many large hotels have their own casinos.

To put it simply, high-end hotels in China absolutely prohibit pornography, gambling and drugs, but it is different abroad, as long as you have money, you can do anything.

This is still the situation after 2023, if it is changed to now, there will be more domestic restrictions.

For example, in the current country, if a man or woman goes to open a house and live in a guest house, if they live in one room, they must bring a marriage certificate to prove their identity as husband and wife, otherwise it will be ...... Ahem, I'm going to get caught anyway.

What? Why was Cao Zhiqiang okay before?

The reason is very simple, that is, Cao Zhiqiang did not live in an ordinary hotel before, he lived in special foreign-related hotels, such as Jianguo Hotel, Beiping Hotel, and Jinling Hotel.

These big hotels, at this time, theoretically, do not accept ordinary people, only accept foreign guests and overseas Chinese, and the money collected is mainly foreign exchange coupons, not RMB.

In the 80s, China actually implemented a dual currency system, that is, a parallel system of foreign exchange volume and RMB.

Because in China, foreign currency cannot be directly circulated, so foreign guests and overseas Chinese want to enter the country for business and family visits, if they want to spend money, they can only exchange foreign currency for foreign exchange first, and then spend in China.

The circulation scope of foreign exchange rolls is relatively small, and theoretically can only be consumed in foreign-related institutions such as foreign-related hotels, overseas Chinese stores, and friendship stores.

But in fact, by exchanging with some companies or exchanging on the black market, foreign exchange coupons can also be exchanged for RMB.

RMB is just the opposite, RMB has a wider scope of application, but it cannot be directly consumed by domestic foreign-related institutions.

However, this restriction is only verbal, and in reality it is not that serious.

If you really have enough RMB, you can still go to some foreign-related institutions to consume.

For example, Peking Hotel, Jianguo Hotel, Jinling Hotel, etc., these foreign-related hotels can also charge RMB, provided that you have to pay enough deposits.

Only places like the Friendship Store and the Overseas Chinese Store are relatively strict, only accepting foreign exchange coupons, not RMB, and only accepting foreign guests and overseas Chinese.

Generally speaking, even if you are not a foreign guest or overseas Chinese, as long as you have a foreign exchange voucher in your hand and go directly to the friendship store to shop, no one will check you.

But this is just that people don't care about you, if people really care, you are not a foreign guest or an overseas Chinese, and you can't consume in foreign-related institutions such as foreign-related restaurants and friendship shops.

Having said that, if you just talk about enjoyment, it's really better abroad than at home, especially now.

But no matter how good it is abroad, it is not your own home.

Cao Zhiqiang knew very well that he was a Chinese with black eyes and yellow skin, and this label determined his origin.

No matter how talented and rich he is, he is still a second-class citizen abroad, and he can never become a real first-class person.

If you want to go abroad to be Chinese, you will never be able to get ahead, and once the international situation changes, such as the bad relations between China and the United States, you in the United States will be a proper cannon fodder and victim.

There are countless similar situations.

Therefore, even if he does not talk about national feelings and only considers from the perspective of security, Cao Zhiqiang will not consider settling abroad or changing his nationality.

The state is the thigh, and the state is dependent.

Especially if China, the future destined giant, is used as a thigh, why throw it?

Don't look at Japan is very developed now, but this kind of prosperity is a kind of falsehood, and the essence is still a colony of the United States.

If you only talk about eating, drinking and having fun, in fact, Cao Zhiqiang is not bad in China.

As for the low-interest thing like yellow gambling, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't like it.

That's right, gambling with du, Cao Zhiqiang will never touch it.

As for Huang, seriously, Cao Zhiqiang is not uncommon.

The reason is very simple, Cao Zhiqiang can justifiably find a high-level lover, why go to play yellow.

Anyway, Cao Zhiqiang is not interested in playing poker with a woman who doesn't know how many people have slept with.

What? How do Hao Shuwen and Sayuri Yoshinaga count?

This, people have only been married, which is different from the situation where thousands of people sleep.

Just when Cao Zhiqiang was drinking green tea and reading a magazine, while thinking wildly, suddenly the sound of high heels came from far and near.

Cao Zhiqiang subconsciously raised his head, and then he was suddenly stunned.

Because he saw Zhu Lin dressed up!

In fact, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't know how to describe it, after all, he is not a clothing professional, so he can't say so much.

He only knew that at this time, Zhu Lin was wearing a set of expensive and high-grade dresses, with a mink shawl on his shoulders, a jeweled gemstone necklace around his neck, plus stiletto heels, black stockings, earrings, handbags, hats, etc., etc.

Let's put it this way, the previous Zhu Lin just gave people a feeling of intellectual beauty, and the whole was still delicate, and it couldn't reach the point of being glamorous.

But now Zhu Lin seems to have magnified her advantages countless times, and directly transformed from delicate to luxurious.

Facing Zhu Lin at this time, I am afraid that many people will feel ashamed of themselves just by looking at it, and subconsciously don't dare to look at her.

A thousand words are just two words - amazing!

seemed to find that Cao Zhiqiang had been looking at himself blankly, Zhu Lin pursed his lips and smiled, and then asked generously: "How is it, is it okay?" ”

"Wow! Wow! Cao Zhiqiang shook his head and applauded, "It's too good!" This dress is simply tailor-made for you, and it looks like a lady and a celebrity. ”

Zhu Lin smiled bitterly: "Actually, others chose it for me, and I was just at their mercy." Originally, I didn't want to wear such an exaggerated outfit, but I don't know Japanese, so we can't communicate properly. ”

Cao Zhiqiang laughed: "It's okay, anyway, you're just here to get dressed and buy clothes, and you're not here to communicate with them." ”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang looked Zhu Lin up and down again, nodded and said, "Not bad, this set of clothes feels good when you look at it." ”

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang asked the female store manager who was following Zhu Lin in Japanese: "Are you in a regular dress or a formal dress?" ”

"It's a combination of courtesy." The female store manager said with a smile, "The outfit I matched for this young lady can be worn out as a regular dress or go to a banquet, which is very white, and it is also determined according to the temperament of this young lady." ”

"Good." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "It's not bad, then you want this set." ”

The female store manager immediately smiled and said, "Yes, if you like it." ”

At this time, Zhu Lin frowned and asked Cao Zhiqiang in a low voice: "Zhiqiang, what did you tell her?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said to her in Chinese: "It's nothing, she asked me, how is your set, I think it's okay, I want it." ”

"Huh? Got it? Zhu Lin continued to frown, "You don't want to buy it, do you?" ”

"yes." Cao Zhiqiang said as a matter of course, "If you think it's good, I think it's good, of course I have to buy it." ”

"It's not good, it's too expensive!" Zhu Lin hurriedly shook his head, "Zhiqiang, do you know how expensive this set is?" 350,000! USD! So much money, just this set of clothes, no, no, no, it's too expensive, I'm afraid your friend can't afford it! ”

Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly frowned: "What, only 350,000?" So little? ”

Zhu Lin also frowned: "Zhiqiang, are you okay?"

That's $350,000! Dollars!

If it is converted into RMB, it is more than 700,000, which can be called less?

Do you know what the concept of 700,000 RMB is?

That's enough to buy ten cars and make three movies! ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Of course I know the purchasing power of 350,000 US dollars, and I also know that your one-to-two exchange rate is the official exchange rate, and the actual market exchange rate has long exceeded one-to-five."

In other words, if the 350,000 US dollars can be taken into China, without taking the official exchange rate, and going to the market to exchange cash privately, it will definitely be exchanged for 1.75 million RMB! ”

"Since you know, you still say you want to buy it?" Zhu Lin frowned and said, "Even if the friend you said can be reimbursed, there is a quota, right, it can't be reimbursed so expensive, right?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang frowned and said, "Wait, don't you know Japanese, how do you know the price?" ”

Zhu Lin glanced at Cao Zhiqiang: "I don't know Japanese, but I can speak English!" Although my English level is also average, the most basic is good hemp food, that is, ask the price, then I will still do. ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled dumbly again: "That's right, I forgot that you can speak English." ”

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang grabbed Zhu Lin's hand and patted it: "Don't worry, I have my own measure."

So, I'll ask you now, if you don't consider the price, or the price is actually very cheap, then do you like this outfit, as well as the various bags and accessories that go with it?

Let's be honest! ”

Zhu Lin was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and said: "Of course I like it, I like it, after all, it's really beautiful, after I put it on, I can't recognize myself, but ......"

"That's enough!" Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand and interrupted her, "It's enough to like it, and you don't need anything else." ”

"How can you say you don't need to?" Zhu Lin frowned, "It's too expensive, I can't accept it!" ”

Cao Zhiqiang was just about to continue to persuade, but when he saw Zhu Lin's resolute look, he immediately knew that it was probably impossible to force her to accept it at this time.

So Cao Zhiqiang's eyes rolled, and he thought about it and said, "Okay, listen to you." But in this case, since you have come here, why don't you all try it one by one.

Anyway, it doesn't cost you to try on clothes, so you can try it for free and play a dress-up game for free, how about it? ”

"This ......" Zhu Lin was moved when he heard this.

"I'm changing clothes here, is it really okay? Will people agree? Zhu Lin asked.

"How could you disagree." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "This kind of shop is open to do business, and the emphasis is that the customer is God, just trying on clothes, what's the problem?"

It's a big deal, let's just buy him one thing later.

For example, the bag I just bought is not cheap, 5 million yen! If it is converted into US dollars, it is almost 20,000! ”

Zhu Lin pursed his lips: "But, let's not do this well, right?" ”

"So be it." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "I'll ask the store manager first, and she agrees, okay?" ”

Zhu Lin nodded: "Okay, let's ask first." ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded to Zhu Lin at this time, then found the female store manager and said in Japanese: "Then, I am very satisfied with this set, but only this set is too few, I want my female companion to try a few more sets, as long as it is suitable, all of them."

However, in my words, my female companion is more frugal, so don't tell her the truth, let alone the price.

She has to ask, you just say less, the less the better, anyway, the price of each outfit should not exceed 100,000 yen, understand? ”

The female shopkeeper nodded: "I understand, but the clothes we have here are clearly marked, and they all have price tags." ”

"Are you stupid?" Cao Zhiqiang said, "You won't say, that's the price of the external bid, the actual purchase price is not like that, do you still want me to teach this kind of talk?" ”

The female shopkeeper smiled slightly: "Of course it's no problem, but I'll ask you again, are you sure you want them all?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang frowned, lowered his face and said, "I don't want to say it a second time!"

If you still ask such an annoying question, I'll leave immediately!

You're not alone!

I look at Chanel next door, which is very good. ”

The female shopkeeper immediately put away her smile and became serious: "Don't worry, I will let you, ah no, let your female companion return satisfied!" ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Go ahead, take out all your best, no, most expensive goods!"

No matter what clothes, bags, necklaces, hats, I can put on everything!

Remember, I have one purpose - not the best, but the most expensive!

Buy luxury goods for my woman, I only want the most expensive, do you understand? ”

The female store manager blinked, and then agreed with a smile: "I understand it thoroughly, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you!" ”
