Chapter 114: Stuck. The three of them also talked about what clothes to buy. Zhang Zhe heard Ruan Mengmeng's suggestion to buy another one he had never heard of. It was probably a mid-to-high-end brand, at least not like these.
The foreign luxury brand is well-known. From her meaning, it is not difficult to find that she means to help him save money, so as to prevent him from being embarrassed when spending money at Armani.
What surprised Zhang Zhe the most was that although Ruan Mengmeng had this intention, she did not make fun of her or be afraid of being embarrassed. Instead, she expressed that the clothes should be affordable and that she should buy the most suitable ones, not the most expensive ones.
Even if it is for the sake of appearance, it depends on the situation. Except for a few girls who are ordinary students, part-time workers, working-class people, etc., they will pay attention to fashion and famous brands. Most of them are not clear and do not know those expensive luxury brands. If others do not know them, they have to introduce them themselves.
What brand and how much is the introduction worth? Then points will be lost.
These words made Zhang Zhe very accepting. This was the case in reality. Most of the students around him, including the wealthy Bi Liyu, did not wear extravagant and expensive clothes. For example, a shirt, no matter the brand, looked just like the clothes alone.
There is definitely a difference between those worth ten yuan and those worth hundreds of yuan, but there is often not much difference between those worth hundreds of yuan and those worth several thousand yuan, because their costs and workmanship are similar. International famous brands often eliminate factories, logistics, warehousing, etc.
These links can be outsourced to low-cost OEMs in developing countries. They control the creative, design, packaging, marketing and other links, and manage the 'virtual' aspects well. The 'real' goods of the OEM only need
If you put their brand on it, it will sell for a lot of money.
Of course, because the design is more careful, the standards are stricter, and the supervision is more in place, luxury and high-end brands are definitely better than similar products at low prices. But several of them have achieved good results, and it is impossible to have a price difference of dozens or hundreds of times.
The difference lies in psychological factors, or spiritual enjoyment. What is sold is a good feeling... Therefore, some economists believe that the operation of luxury goods is a disguised plunder of developing countries by developed countries. For example, the cost is 100 yuan.
Shoes can be sold for 1,000 yuan after OEM. After deducting the costs of all links, the brand provider makes 500 yuan in vain, and with this 500 yuan, they can import 5 pairs of shoes of the same quality of 100 yuan from developing countries. The truth is that Chinese shoes
The factory OEMs one pair of shoes for Nike, which is equivalent to giving five pairs of shoes to Americans for free at the same time; Foxconn OEMs one mobile phone and computer to Apple, and simultaneously sends five mobile phones and computers to Americans... This is not even the hottest time at noon.
, so after chatting for a while, the three of them came out. Then Ruan Mengmeng took the two of them while shopping, and finally came to a store specializing in men's clothing.
After arriving here, Zhang Zhe found that he had no say. The two of them were girls, and the salesperson was also a girl. From clothes to trousers, he took one set and asked him to change it. After changing, they commented on it, and then changed to another one.
A set that makes him look like a male model.
"I said you two, is that okay? They will say later that we are just here to try on clothes." After trying on more than a dozen sets, Zhang Zhe felt a little embarrassed, so he would only buy two sets at most.
"It doesn't matter, just try." The shopping guide smiled politely.
"You also said you want to learn marketing! How come you don't understand the mentality of customers and stores at all? Customers who come in just to look at it without asking questions or trying it out will probably leave within a few minutes. Ninety-nine percent of them will
Don’t buy; customers who can try things on, be picky, and negotiate prices are the ones who are truly valuable and have a large proportion of purchases. The more you try, the more opportunities you have to buy and the quantity you buy. If they express impatience,
That’s the newbie who doesn’t know anything.” Ruan Mengmeng asked Zhang Zhe to go in and change clothes.
"What you said makes sense." The shopping guide continued to smile politely.
"The last set!" Zhang Zhe took the clothes and entered the dressing room. After changing his shirt, when he wanted to take off his pants, he found a problem. I don't know whether it was the quality of the pants or whether they were damaged when he was wearing them.
The zipper couldn't be pulled down! It happened that these were a pair of trousers that narrowed the waist, and he couldn't take them off unless the zipper was opened.
Damn it, it won't be so unlucky, right? The zipper broke when trying on new pants can happen to me? Zhang Zhe was speechless and pulled it down hard, but it got stuck. It was confirmed that the zipper was completely broken!
If you change the place and try it slowly, it is still possible to pull it open, but now in the locker room, there are still girls waiting outside, Zhang Zhe can't keep doing it slowly inside. He thought about it, and the girl outside
The shop assistants all seemed to be female, and it was difficult to even find someone to help me.
After trying a few times, he couldn't unzip or take off his pants. Zhang Zhe gave up, calmed down a little, and thought of other ways. If he told the store clerk that the zipper of their pants was broken, it would probably be a quarrel.
, because he himself cannot guarantee that he accidentally broke it. In theory, if it is broken, it is impossible for others to put it on the shelves. He might as well consider himself unlucky and just wear these pants and go!
After making sure, he rearranged his pants, put on his shirt, and came out of the locker room.
"Look...eh? After doing this for so long, you still have the same clothes as before and haven't changed!" Ruan Mengmeng quickly noticed.
"Forget it, I think this set is good. It's already noon. I won't try it on anymore. I'll just wear it back home! You guys can help me choose some more and see what else is suitable after I just tried it." Zhang Zhe said with a forced smile.
Seeing that he was unwilling to try, Ruan Mengmeng did not insist anymore. She and Gigi chose two sets from the alternatives that they had just tried, and then asked for his opinion.
Zhang Zhe guessed that they all thought it was okay. The main purpose of asking for advice was to see if he had enough money to pay for the bill. Otherwise, the man would be embarrassed if he didn't borrow the money. He immediately asked the shopping guide to make the bill and pack it, including the original clothes.
"Why are you just wearing it?" With the three of them left, Ruan Mengmeng asked in a low voice: "This clothes looks clean. Who knows how long it has been in the store? I don't know how many times it has been in factories and warehouses before.
Human hands should be taken back and washed before wearing..."
Regarding her muttering, Zhang Zhe also knew that it was reasonable. At this moment, he could only smile awkwardly: "It doesn't matter, I don't stick to trivial matters. Haha!" It can't be said that these pants fit too well and are waisted, but the zipper is broken and cannot be taken off.
Come down, please? That won’t make them laugh to death!
"Wait a minute, I'll pay the bill." Zhang Zhe went to the billing area, swiped his card to pay, and came back with his shopping bag.
"Let's go! Looking for something to eat, do you want me to treat you? Or aa?" Ruan Mengmeng asked with a smile.
"You stay with me for a long time and help me. I should treat you to a meal. Fast food will satisfy you, even two portions are fine! Haha..."
With the mineral water pipe in front of them full, the two of them got used to it. But when they were discussing where to eat, Ruan Mengmeng's phone rang. After she answered it, she said to Gigi helplessly: "I wanted to
I will take you to eat at a local restaurant in Dongshan, but my mother... said that the food has been prepared and she wants us to go and eat."
Gigi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, the style of restaurants nowadays is the same everywhere, but what I cook at home is unique. Auntie's craftsmanship is also very good."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhe was about to leave, but Ruan Mengmeng had already said it first: "Zhang Zhe, please go back with us for dinner! Don't refuse, you also know that we don't have many days to play. You have to go again tomorrow.
Let’s have a wedding banquet, or I’ll treat you tomorrow. I finally caught an acquaintance, so I must catch up on old times and ask about other classmates.”
"But... I'm a man, is it appropriate to go to your house?" Zhang Zhe was a little sweaty.
"Please! Does my family only allow me to date girls? This is so illogical! You are my high school classmate, and it's not like I just grab a man and take him back for dinner." Ruan Mengmeng couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes, let's come together! Maybe you can take us to visit Dongshan University in the afternoon." Gigi also persuaded.
"No, no, it's too strange for me to go to your house for dinner with the clothes I bought like this. I'll visit you another day!" Zhang Zhe still shook his head.
Ruan Mengmeng was a little disappointed and felt depressed. "In the past few years... I haven't had the chance to see other classmates. I am very happy to see you today. But it seems that you... forget it, I won't force you."
If they just separated after meeting and saying hello, Zhang Zhe wouldn't think there was anything wrong. But now they have been together for a few hours, and when they were drinking just now, they also knew that she recognized him and followed him specifically to confirm, not to rubbish.
The kind of person who passed by her shoulder to shoulder. Coupled with her enthusiasm, she was as familiar as an old friend... Well, she was considered an old friend... Generally speaking, he was already familiar with her and had shortened the distance between them.
I just helped him in the morning, and it would be bad if she mistakenly thought that she was just perfunctory.
"That's not it. I really wanted to invite you to dinner just now. It's just that it was a bit presumptuous to visit your house. If you don't think it's rude for me to go like this, I don't care..." Zhang Zhe thought that this was the only time he wanted to go to her house.
It doesn't matter whether it makes a good impression or not.
"You don't have to force yourself..."
She didn't speak. Gigi pulled her and persuaded: "Okay, Zhang Zhe's concerns are reasonable. You don't have a boyfriend. You are afraid that your mother will misunderstand and bring your boyfriend home. Just remember to make it clear...
"
Her words made both of them stand up. Ruan Mengmeng smiled again: "Don't worry, I will emphasize that this is my high school classmate. Let's go!"
Zhang Zhe, carrying a shopping bag, followed behind and complained: "Others are just girls buying a bunch of clothes. I buy a bunch of new clothes like this, but you didn't buy anything. And you even went to your house as a guest... Really?"
It feels very..."
"Hehe, girls are happy when others go shopping, but men are tired when they accompany you. Today we are accompanying you! But it's good for you to go back like this. It will be a contrast and let my mother know that I didn't spend money randomly at all."
I thought I was going to take a taxi, but Ruan Mengmeng took me to the parking lot. She drove here. When she saw the car, Zhang Zhe was a little surprised and a little sighing. It seems that God has saved me from going to your house for dinner!
——Ruan Mengmeng drives a two-seater sports car, and her family is undoubtedly very well off.
