Chapter Ninety-Seven: Celebrities (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
At this time, Tang Yingfang was twenty-four years old, and it was the time when the flowers were in full bloom, speaking of which, she was two years younger than Han Lin, who graduated from the police academy and joined the work.
"Miss Tang, do you mind if I sit down?" Han Lin asked politely.
It is very rude to sit down and talk without the permission of the lady in a social situation, and this lady is Tang Ying, the most famous celebrity and talented girl in Shanghai, and a girl who is at the forefront of fashion.
"Of course...... Don't mind! Tang Ying deliberately paused, and then smiled sweetly.
Girls always have a cunning side, and Han Lin could only smile and sit opposite her.
Tang Ying had a preliminary impression of the man in front of him, wearing a well-fitting handmade suit, with very exquisite materials and craftsmanship, which ordinary tailors do not have. His watch is Vacheron Constantin, which is from a famous Swiss brand, and the price is very expensive.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Han Lin, my family is engaged in salt trading, I work in Jinling, I rarely come to Shanghai, but I didn't expect to meet Miss Tang for the first time I participated in the social activities of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, the most famous talented woman and actress in our Republic of China." Han Lin said.
He didn't think too much about Tang Ying, but he just felt that since he had crossed over, he could meet a famous talented girl, of course, he had to get to know him, so his attitude was very peaceful, just to make friends.
Tang Ying is a suitor, and as a celebrity and courtesan during the Republic of China, she entered the social circle at the age of sixteen, with her beauty and temperament, what kind of person has not seen it?
"Mr. Han praised it falsely, he didn't dare to take it, it was just a little personal hobby. The Han family is a well-known salt merchant in the Jinling government, and I have met Mr. Han Li a few times at social events at the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai, but I am not familiar with him. This time, Mr. Han came to Shanghai, for business or private business? Tang Ying asked.
The diplomatic agencies and concession management agencies of all parties in Shanghai will send invitations to invite her to participate in social activities, and the presence of the first lady is also to add luster to the event.
She attended more social occasions, and naturally knew more people, and inevitably met Han Li a few times, just a simple acquaintance, but the background of the Han family, she slowly learned that those who can do salt business are definitely not ordinary businessmen.
"I have a little private matter to do, I opened two new European and American luxury stores in Jinling, came to Shanghai to sign a supply contract with a foreign bank, inspected the fashion and style of the street, and happened to meet the public concession Ministry of Industry Bureau held a ball, my brother and sister-in-law took me here to open my eyes." Han Lin said.
Tang Ying is at the forefront of the fashion of the Republic of China, and when she hears it, she knows what the concept of the so-called luxury franchise store is. This is not a new thing, in the public concession and the French concession in Shanghai, there are many foreign companies selling luxury goods.
"Jinling's high-end customers usually come to the Shanghai Concession to spend, so what do you rely on to attract them when you invest in a franchise store in the local area?" Tang Ying was interested.
"For the same thing, different brands and different packaging, there will be a big gap in price, and the real value of luxury goods lies in the fashion culture, design concept and long-established brands of the West. In English, the word for luxury is Luxury, Luxus. Luxus, on the other hand, is a Latin word that originally meant great fecundity, but later evolved into a wasteful and unbridled meaning. ”
"Luxury is a lifestyle that is considered to be luxurious by the respective society, in whole or in part, and is determined by a product or service. It can be identified as a new concept, which is beyond the scope of people's survival and development needs, and has unique, scarce, rare and other characteristics, also known as non-necessities. ”
"In the concept of our Chinese people, luxury goods are almost equivalent to greed, profligacy and waste, in fact, from an economic point of view, luxury goods are essentially a kind of high-end consumption behavior, and there is no praise or disparagement in itself, from a social point of view, it is a kind of personal taste and quality of life improvement."
"There is no difference between the luxury goods I purchase and the luxury goods of the Shanghai Concession Foreign Bank, but the key is service, good service can enhance the image and value of the brand, and more is to enhance the identity and status of customers, so my main business philosophy is service." Han Lin said with a smile.
From the consumption concept decades later, the incisive elaboration summed up Tang Ying was deeply attracted, and the man in front of him had such a deep understanding of luxury, which was incredible.
"It's the first time I've heard of a man who can summarize the concept of luxury so accurately, and I actually have the feeling of experiencing the luxury store you are about to open." Tang Ying said.
"If Miss Tang is willing to attend my opening ceremony, it is my great honor, in Shanghai, can grasp the essence of fashion, Miss Tang is one of the best, I am also looking forward to your valuable advice during my time in Shanghai, my store is called Champs Elysées." Han Lin said.
"I seem to have seen a recruitment advertisement for this firm in the newspapers of Shanghai, are you inviting me to be a consultant? Then I need to be paid! Tang Ying said with a smile.
"Miss Tang's remuneration will not be a mundane thing, please allow me to invite you to dance, sincerity is the only reward I can think of at the moment." Han Lin said.
He still has some confidence in ballroom dancing, because this is a strictly trained project, with one-on-one guidance from a special master, there is a little jerky at the beginning, and then it becomes beautiful and smooth, even Tang Ying is very appreciative.
At the end of the song, the two returned to their seats, and Han Li and his wife also came over.
Han Lin was also surprised that Han Lin and Tang Ying could dance and chat together as soon as they met, not everyone is qualified to contact Tang Ying.
"Mr. Han, I didn't expect the new friend I met tonight to be your younger brother." Tang Ying said with a smile.
"It is an honor to be Miss Tang's friend, and I welcome Miss Tang to my house." Han Li also said with a smile.
"Mr. Han Lin, then I will be waiting for you at home tomorrow!" Tang Ying said to Han Lin.
"At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I will visit your mansion on time!" Han Lin hurriedly said.
Fate is really wonderful, I didn't dare to think that I could invite Tang Ying as my luxury store consultant, and we can go shopping together, a bit like acting in a movie or TV series.
"You want to visit Tang Ying's house? What the hell is going on? Waiting for Tang Ying to leave, Han Li asked.
"Tang Ying agreed to be my consultant, and tomorrow I will go around the major foreign companies in the French Concession and guide me to purchase luxury goods, so I will pick her up at her house tomorrow." Han Lin said.
"You kid is really good, it's only been a little more than an hour, and I'm so familiar with her, but she's really the most suitable consultant, and when it comes to fashion, she's the most admired imitator for upper-class women." Han Li said.
