Chapter 198 I am from the Department of Economics at Kyoto University
"I'll just make these for now. I also need to make two coats and a windbreaker, as well as a full set of clothes for women. Give me a piece of paper and I'll write down her specific size."
Li Ye randomly picked out a few pieces of clothing for himself, and then started to get serious about Wen Leyu's coat.
Before the New Year, he had planned to go to the Friendship Store with Wen Leyu to buy a better coat. After all, they were now a young couple, and it was his duty as a boyfriend to buy her some clothes for the New Year.
As a result, Mr. Ke's noble awareness made Li Ye's intention go to waste.
When Li Ye left Teacher Ke's house, Wen Leyu's lips were pouted.
Although Li Ye didn't know that Wen Leyu caught her mother and grumbled for a long time after he left, he clearly saw the grievance in the little girl's heart.
So since they were in Hong Kong Island, Li Ye decided to buy some clothes for Wen Leyu to make her happy.
However, when Li Ye took a pen and paper and wrote down a series of numbers on it, including "Height 171, chest 90.6, waist 61.8, hip 90.5, thigh 53.5, calf 32.5", he found that the people around him all looked at him strangely.
Li Ye glanced coldly at Hao Jian and Jin Peng, and said in a cold voice: "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen it before?"
"I'm going out to smoke a cigarette." Jin Peng ran out of the store without wasting a second as if his butt was on fire.
"I'll have one too." Hao Jian also ran away.
Pei Wencong was slow to react, and only after Li Ye's cold gaze swept over him did he hurried out.
After coming out, the three of them smiled slyly at each other, revealing an expression that all men understand.
It’s no wonder that they had the wrong idea. After all, if Li Ye had never touched her, how could he have determined a girl’s size to the millimeter level?
After the clothing store owner A Ling took the paper, he also said with a smile: "Sir, your girlfriend has a great figure. She can be a model."
Li Ye did not respond, but took several samples of women's clothing and pointed out his suggestions for changes one by one.
If you want to bring some fashionable clothes from your memory into reality, you need the understanding of professionals. Otherwise, if you just say "make it thinner here" or "make it look bigger here", ordinary tailors will be confused.
However, Li Ye's changes this time were much more thoughtful than the ones he spent on his own clothes. Even some fashion styles that were much more advanced were taken out from his biological hard drive.
Although it is not 40 years ahead of the times, it is more than 10 to 20 years ahead.
Listening to Li Ye's detailed explanation of his request for changes, Ah Ling finally lost his composure and asked Li Ye in surprise: "Sir, excuse me, are you also an industry insider?"
Li Ye calmly denied: "No, I'm just more sensitive to fashion."
Ah Ling obviously didn't believe it, but he could only say enviously: "Your girlfriend is really lucky to have such a caring man like you. However, if you follow your requirements, the cost of these clothes may be quite high. What do you think?"
Li Ye didn't waste any words. He turned around and waved to Pei Wencong who was outside the store. Pei Wencong came in immediately, took out his wallet and paid the deposit. The thick thousand-yuan bills in his wallet were quite eye-catching.
Ah Ling teased, "I've heard that Senior Brother Pei is doing very well recently. When will he move to the upper reaches of the mountain?"
Pei Wencong laughed and said, "What you call prosperity is just that I have more money. I plan to buy a thousand-square-foot house in Sai Wan."
Ah Ling smiled naturally and said, "That's great too. Be sure to let me know when the time comes. I want to be there to enjoy your good fortune."
When they came out of Ah Ling's clothing store, Pei Wencong said with some emotion: "Ah Ling was a rich girl before, but she met the wrong man and suffered misfortune. In fact, she had the opportunity to open her own design exhibition in Paris."
Li Ye nodded slightly and didn't say much.
In fact, this is how life is. With ups and downs, who can guarantee smooth sailing?
Maybe ten years ago, A Ling didn't even look at Pei Wencong!
A few people walked out along the small street, and Jin Peng suddenly shouted excitedly: "Look, Xu Wenqiang, Xiaoye, look. Xiaoye, do you know Xu Wenqiang?"
Li Ye looked up and was a little surprised. It turned out that Pei Wencong was not bragging. The clothing store on this small street was indeed frequented by movie stars.
"The Bund" is a TV series filmed in Hong Kong in 1980 and introduced to mainland China for screening in 1985. However, Pengcheng is so close to Hong Kong that this classic TV series can be seen in the newly appeared video halls or the homemade receiving antennas of the residents.
At this time, Fa Ge was still very young, with a handsome appearance and a charming demeanor. After seeing him, Li Ye also had a wonderful feeling of crossing time and space.
Fa Ge was coming out of a clothing store with a woman. When some customers nearby saw them, they happily went over to chat with them, and some of them even asked for their autographs.
In Hong Kong Island, there is not much gap between celebrities and ordinary people. People don’t think that they are superior to others, and asking for autographs is purely out of admiration and liking.
Jin Peng and Hao Jian have both watched The Bund. Hao Jian stretched his neck to take a look and said, "Hey, why isn't he with Feng Chengcheng? I don't know that woman."
Jin Peng said, "Why don't you care whether she knows him or not? Why don't we go over and ask him and take a photo with Xu Wenqiang? Then we can show it to Ergou and the others."
Jin Peng is usually calm, but he is still in his twenties, so he couldn't help but think of taking a photo.
Pei Wencong hesitated for a moment and said, "We can go over and try this. Fa Zai is quite easy-going."
Jin Peng and Hao Jian both looked at Li Ye, asking him to check whether this behavior was appropriate.
Li Ye said indifferently: "Just do as you please."
So the two of them walked over with Pei Wencong.
Fa Ge was indeed easy to talk to. He took photos with Jin Peng and Hao Jian with a smile, but the woman was obviously impatient.
Li Ye had an impression of this woman. It seemed that she was Chow Yun-fat's girlfriend at the time, and her name was Zheng Ling.
However, Li Ye knew her name not because of Chow Yun-fat, but because of mainland actor Huang Bo.
The two had an argument at an award ceremony, and Huang Bo fully demonstrated his wit and high emotional intelligence, but this Zheng Ling was not so good.
After Jin Peng and Hao Jian took a photo with Fa Ge, Fa Ge smiled towards Li Ye.
Li Ye also nodded slightly, but did not go over to take a photo.
If Feng Chengcheng were here, he might have kept a souvenir, after all, he was a fan of "The Legend of the New White Snake" in his previous life.
Now! It's not appropriate.
If the photos are dug up in a few years and rumors are spread that "the top businessman is also a fan", it would somewhat mislead the values of young people.
After taking the group photo, the group didn’t encounter any other accidents. They just walked around the area and fully experienced the crowdedness of Hong Kong Island.
Not to mention the alleys and small streets, even some busy avenues are very narrow. The high-rise buildings on both sides block most of the sunlight, making people feel strongly cramped.
It’s just that people nowadays would think that this is “prosperity”. Only Li Ye, who has experienced the true prosperity of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou decades later, would find it ridiculous.
In the evening, Pei Wencong invited Li Ye and others to dinner at a mid-range restaurant.
While we were eating, people at the next table kept making a lot of noise and almost got into a quarrel.
Pei Wencong explained: "The man in yellow listened to his relatives' advice and borrowed money to buy a house, but the price dropped a lot in just a few months. Now he blames his relatives. Everyone can understand this kind of thing. No one feels good about it."
Li Ye asked, "So Mr. Pei hasn't bought a property recently, right?"
Pei Wencong said: "Yes! If the market hadn't been bad recently, I would have bought it last month. Now I don't know what to do."
"Then let's wait a little longer!" Li Ye said casually, "It may take some time for the price to fall."
Pei Wencong nodded, not paying much attention to what Li Ye said.
In fact, Li Ye knew very well that any major political event would affect the economy.
Since 1982, Hong Kong Island's property market, stock market and Hong Kong dollar exchange rate have all begun to decline. In 1983 alone, house prices fell by nearly 30%.
If Pei Wencong bought a house at this time, he might regret it for a few years, and only slowly recovered after the negotiations between China and Britain were concluded.
After dinner, Pei Wencong sent Li Ye and the other two back to the hotel.
Before they parted, Pei Wencong asked Li Ye: "Mr. Li, what are your plans for tomorrow? Are you going to visit Kowloon Tong or Joint Publishing?"
Pei Wencong thought for a long time and decided to take the initiative. He wanted to ask Li Ye if he had any plans to "change jobs".
But Li Ye said, "I remember Mr. Pei graduated from Hong Kong University, right?"
Pei Wencong said with a little pride: "Yes, I have graduated for ten years."
Li Ye: "So you know any classmates who work in the financial industry?"
"Of course," Pei Wencong asked in surprise, "Why does Mr. Li ask this? Are you concerned about the financial account? This is not a problem. I can help you with it tomorrow."
But Li Ye asked again: "No, I want to ask, can you trade Hang Seng?"
“.”
Before 1987, there were no formal Hang Seng Index futures available for trading in the market in Hong Kong Island, but there were definitely private transactions.
Pei Wencong was surprised for a few seconds before asking, "Mr. Li also knows this?"
Li Ye smiled faintly and said, "Of course, I am from the Department of Economics at Beijing University."
