Reborn in the red age

Chapter 267 Ma Wenhui, go coordinate Wang Weimin’s air conditioner

After Qingfeng Li turned over the cards in his hand, the two people playing the game looked in disbelief.

Especially that young man, who grabbed Qingfeng Li's hand to collect the money, stared at Qingfeng Li with his eyes wide open: "No way, you are cheating, how could you get 235."

"Little comrade, you are being unreasonable. Why can you get three aces, but I can't get 235?" Li Qingfeng said with a half-smile as he opened the other party's hand and held his own.

When the card game reached this point, the remaining two passers-by had already recovered from the emotion of losing. After a brief review, they immediately realized that they had been cheated on the train.

Seeing that Qingfeng Li was a master and helped clean up the people who caused the game, the two passers-by breathed a sigh of relief and started to help, saying that the young man should be willing to admit defeat and not play the trick of not being able to afford to lose.

The young man ignored the two people who were gloating about their misfortune, stared at Qingfeng Li, and said through gritted teeth: "I suspect you are a cheat, and I want to check the cards on the table."

"Why, the cards are yours, and the cards in my hand haven't left the table. I can't say that I have to check the cards just because of your suspicion, right?" Li Qingfeng still had that half-smiling expression on his face, showing great interest. He looked at the other person: "You can check the cards if you want, but you have to bet something, right?"

"What are you gambling?"

Qingfeng Li picked up his bag of peonies on the table and nodded at the young man and his accomplice with the cigarette in his hand: "Simple, I will bet all the money you two have on you. If you agree, we will start checking the cards now."

In the soft sleeper compartment, there was already a passenger who looked like a gray-haired veteran cadre. When he saw Qingfeng Li coming in, he put down his newspaper and greeted Qingfeng Li warmly.

The two of them watched Qingfeng Li take away all the money, gnashing their teeth with hatred, but there was nothing they could do. After giving Qingfeng Li a hard look, the two of them packed up their things, got up and left the car.

After all the cards were checked, regardless of the two people's expressions of death, Li Qingfeng reached out to collect all the money on the table, holding a thick stack of banknotes, watching the two people's wonderful exchanges with interest. expression.

The two looked at each other. The young man was a bachelor, and he started taking money from himself without saying a word.

If you are willing to admit defeat, you are not a gangster who engages in robbery. There are many robbers on the trains these days. If you have the courage to rob, you will not cheat passengers out of money.

"It's amazing, comrade. Look, can you give me some pointers? With your skills, I won't be able to kill everyone at the gambling table in the future. I can win however I want." Among the two leeks, the one who lost The one with the most was probably an old gambler. Seeing Qingfeng Li's superb skills, he shyly wanted to learn a few tricks from him.

As soon as the two of them left, the two leeks next to them, who had lost a lot, quickly came over and complimented with a smile:
"Comrade, that's amazing. Were those two people just trying to trick you into cheating? It's amazing that you can win money from them."

I went to the police officer to explain the situation, withdrew the principal from my gambling book, handed over all the remaining winnings, and exchanged it for a ticket for the soft sleeper carriage.

After digging out all the money, the young man said: "This is all the money I have. It is estimated to be more than 100 yuan. As for him, I don't know him."

The card holder was a middle-aged man. He smiled and showed his big yellow teeth: "Okay, such an interesting thing, I want to come in and play." After saying that, the big yellow teeth also started to take out money.

After counting the money, Li Qingfeng looked at him and shook his head. He put the money into his pocket and patted the other person on the shoulder: "Comrade, the right path in the world is the vicissitudes of life."

Seeing the two of them staring at his hands checking cards, Li Qingfeng smiled slightly and moved closer to the two of them so that they could monitor around the corner.

After saying that, he ignored the two of them, packed up his luggage, got up and left the hard sleeper compartment.

The deck is now a complete deck without any issues.

The two of them rummaged through their bodies and put together more than three hundred yuan on the table. Seeing this, Qingfeng Li pursed his lips, put his two arms on the table, and started checking the cards in front of everyone.

These two games were very big, and the gambling money on the card table was as high as 600 yuan. In this era, it was equivalent to one year's salary of an ordinary worker.

The two of them never dreamed that Qingfeng Li would carry a plug-in with him. As early as when he picked up the cards on the table, he had already replaced the three kings they dealt to him in the previous round.

Those two people didn't seem to have the courage to rob, but they put their own safety first when they went out and won all the money from others. What if evil comes from the courage and they go to cover themselves at night?
It’s better to change the ticket for a soft sleeper and lie comfortably on the soft sleeper until you get off at Sijiucheng.

"Yes, yes, how did you do it just now? They should have dealt you a big card. How did you change it to the smallest card, 235?"

"Comrade, look at this bet, do you want to participate?" Seeing the two of them pretending not to know each other, Qingfeng Li didn't tell them off. Instead, he looked at the player on the card game and said with a smile.

With nothing else to do, Li Qingfeng just thought of it as a joke and casually boasted with the other two leeks: "Without him, his skills are very good. His hands are fast enough to deceive others. With the skills of the two of them, they are three-legged cats. Winning against them is a piece of cake.”

After the two exchanged pleasantries, the veteran cadre said with emotion: "Comrade, you are so young and promising to be able to sit on a soft sleeper at such a young age. I am so old that I am qualified to sit on a soft sleeper. I am really terrible."

"Hey, I don't have that level. It's just a coincidence that I can live in a soft sleeper."

After Li Qingfeng finished telling what happened, the enthusiastic smile on the veteran cadre's face disappeared, and he picked up the newspaper he had put aside and read it again, as if there was a gap between us, so don't try to get close to me.

"."

Li Qingfeng smiled, this old man had quite an official mentality.

In the soft sleeper compartment, the space is large, the conditions are good, and all kinds of guarantees are sufficient. Even the roast chicken can be eaten hot. There are not many passengers inside, and nothing terrible happened. I sat comfortably and got off at Sijiucheng. .

Back in Qianliang Hutong, it was time to go to work. Li Qingfeng was the only one at home. After a simple wash, he changed his clothes and went to the Xidan store to see how Ma Wenhui's shop was decorated.

"Oh, yes, it looks like your store will be opened in a few days. Then I will call you Boss Ma." Standing at the door of the completed clothing store, looking at the splendid door, Li Qingfeng smiled and teased Ma Wenhui, who came to supervise the work.

Faced with Qingfeng Li's teasing, Ma Wenhui did not tease him back as before. Instead, she forced a smile, looked at the luxuriously decorated facade, and said unconfidently: "Isn't this shop well decorated? It's so splendid. I I wonder if it will scare people so they won’t dare to come in.”

"Country bumpkin, you know nothing about doing business. All you want is this style. If you don't decorate so well, how can you make those rich people and nouveau riche willingly take money out of their pockets? People are only willing to spend a hundred dollars on ordinary decoration. , in your store, let those nouveau riche spend five or six hundred without blinking an eye," Li Qingfeng said with hatred.

Ma Wenhui still had the same frown on her face: "Those things imported from Xiangjiang are too expensive, and the money is like running water. All the money I have saved over the years has been spent on decoration. I get all the custom-made clothes on credit from Wang Weimin." If this business fails, I will go back to before liberation overnight."

This is true. Originally, Ma Wenhui planned to renovate, including labor, materials, cabinets, and so on, which cost about one thousand yuan. Who knew that if Li Qingfeng was allowed to do it all, various things could not be bought in the mainland, and Wang Weimin would need to arrange someone to go there. Xiangjiang procurement and decoration costs took off, and Ma Wenhui's small coffers were almost drained.

Qingfeng Li glanced at Ma Wenhui and was very dissatisfied with this girl's petty attitude. Considering that she was his little brother after all, he comforted her and said, "Don't worry, this decoration money is nothing. Once the store is renovated and opened for business, you can Just wait to pick up the money from the sack. Come on, follow me in to see how the interior decoration is going."

With that said, Qingfeng Li took the lead and walked inside.

At this time, the decoration of the first floor has been completed, and there is still some finishing work left on the second floor. Workers are busy working on the second floor, and it will be completed in the next few days.

The craftsmanship of Yan Dahai and his group is quite good. They basically implemented 90% of the design given by Qingfeng Li. There are not many complicated elements on the wall, just some reliefs and a few plaster Roman pillars in the corners. The floor is made of white ceramic tiles, and there are many small spotlights on the ceiling, which are also imported from Xiangjiang.

The interior decoration uses a lot of lights and glass mirrors, especially the crystal chandelier bought from Xiangjiang for more than 1,000 yuan. It is so majestic that it is blinding. This decoration is definitely the top luxury European style in China. .

After looking at the changing room and rest area, Qingfeng Li nodded with satisfaction. What does style mean? This is style.

After shopping around, Li Qingfeng continued to say: "Yes, yes, the decoration is very good, but the house still lacks an air conditioner. After the decoration is completed, you can buy some air conditioners. The store is too big." "At least two air conditioners must be installed on the first floor. Otherwise, they will not provide much cooling. It is best to use imported air conditioners. The domestic cooling effect is not very good."

As a high-end clothing store, air conditioning is one of the basics. You won’t sweat while trying on clothes in the summer, and you won’t be afraid of freezing when taking off your clothes in the winter. This thing is indispensable.

"What? Do you know how much an imported air conditioner costs? One air conditioner costs 2,000 yuan, and how many more are you asking me to buy? How can I have so much money?" Ma Wenhui got very excited when she heard that she wanted to buy four more air conditioners. Ma, refused again and again, saying that he had no money.

I glanced at Ma Wenhui sideways and felt that this girl was too young and her style was too small. If she didn't have money to buy an air conditioner, wouldn't she know how to think of something? I don't know how to adapt at all.

"cough cough"

After coughing lightly, Li Qingfeng reminded: "What, brother, Wang Weimin has made a fortune recently. His company has installed seven or eight air conditioners. You go over to coordinate and coordinate. It's not like the old air conditioners can't be used."

"That makes sense, okay. I'll coordinate it tomorrow. Are two air conditioners on the first floor enough? It's not impossible to install three air conditioners." Ma Wenhui's eyes lit up and she immediately understood what Qingfeng Li meant.

"That's enough, that's enough. If you install too many air conditioners, there will probably be problems with the circuit here."

"That's okay"

He went up to the second floor and said hello to Yan Dahai and the others. After checking the decoration on the second floor, and after confirming that there was no problem, Li Qingfeng did not stay in Xidan longer and left.

Before Qingfeng Li left, Ma Wenhui blocked Qingfeng Li's path and asked what the name of the registered foreign brand was and if he needed to customize a signboard to hang in front of the door.

Hearing Ma Wenhui mention this matter, Li Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat. He had forgotten about it. The brand hadn't been registered yet.

Of course I couldn't say that I had forgotten about this, so I could only make a casual joke, saying that the brand is still being registered and the registration will be completed in two days. After the news comes from there, it will not be too late to customize the signboard. .

Under Ma Wenhui's suspicious eyes, Li Qingfeng got on his bicycle and left the Xidan store in despair.

Qingfeng Li did not go home directly, but rode his bicycle straight to the school research institute.

The store is almost ready to be renovated, and the matter of foreign brands cannot be postponed. Ma Wenhui was deceived by herself into investing all her wealth in this clothing brand. If she knew that he had not registered the brand for her yet, With this girl's fiery temper, she shouldn't fight with herself.

When he arrived at the institute, he didn't bother to say hello to other people. He directly picked up the phone in the office and called Fang Wanzhen, asking her to contact the European office immediately and find a private tailor shop in Italy that was old and could no longer operate. Bought it directly for him.

Qingfeng Li thought for a moment on the way here. It was okay to register the brand directly, but it would be inconvenient for future harvesting. Brands without foundation would not be highly recognized by the Chinese people.

It is better to directly acquire a private tailor shop that cannot survive. Not only will it not cost a few dollars, but it can also promote itself as a century-old company. In the future, it can use this gimmick to sell luxury goods, or it can be like Hermès and LV, a women's bag. Sell ​​her for tens of thousands of dollars.

This idea is feasible in China, at least in the years when information dissemination is underdeveloped.

If you promote it properly, you might be able to continue to hang out in the years when the Internet is developed.

At the worst possible outcome, just open a few more flagship stores abroad, even if you lose money, it won't matter. China is the world's largest consumer market for luxury goods. With the support of the domestic market, the little money you lose abroad is not money at all.

Fang Wanzhen acted quickly and acquired an Italian private tailoring brand founded in 1915 in two days.

It is said to have been established in 1915, but in fact it was a tailor shop opened by an old man in 1915 and passed on to his son.
It didn't cost much in total. The old man's son couldn't do it anymore, and no one in his descendants wanted to continue being a tailor. They only spent a little money to acquire this brand.

What satisfies Li Qingfeng the most is that both generations of this family like to take pictures, and they have a lot of photos left behind. Isn’t this inappropriate story material?
