MTL - Reborn Capital Tycoon-Chapter 24 Red Gang Tailor

  Chapter 24 Red Gang Tailor

  After dinner, Chen Yi asked Haozi to go back to Shau Kei Wan ahead of schedule, and asked him to invite out his cousin who worked in a toy factory.

  Chen Yi followed Li Wenhui back to TVB, and signed the contract in Li Daheng's office.

  Before signing, Chen Yi read the contract carefully before putting pen to paper.

   Don't blame him for treating the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. None of the people who can become a tycoon these days is a simple person.

  He believes in Li Wenhui, but he is not familiar with Li Daheng. Once such a person is caught by the other party, he will not be able to escape even if he wants to.

  Be careful in everything, you are right.

   After signing the contract, Chen Yi is not interested in staying in TVB.

   Promised Li Wenhui to buy two pieces of clothes

  Chen Yi didn't regret it either

  At the gate of TVB, Qi Dahai had already prepared his car and parked on the side of the road waiting for the three of them.

   "Ming Tsai, you sit in the front co-pilot."

   "We sit in the back"

   As he spoke, Li Wenhui pulled Chen Yi into the back seat.

   Qi Dahai, who was sitting in the driving seat, glanced at the rearview mirror. Up to now, he still hasn't figured out how Chen Yi got Li Daheng's approval.

  However, as a bodyguard, Qi Dahai knows very well what to say and what not to ask. His mission is to protect Li Wenhui's safety, and everything else is necessary.

   "Uncle Qi, go to Chen Ji"

  Li Wenhui said to Qi Dahai in the driving seat.

  After the car started, Chen Yi asked, "Is it far from here?"

  "In Central" said Li Wenhui.

   "Central?" Chen Yi was taken aback when he heard this, and then smiled wryly.

  Everyone who has been to Xiangjiang knows where Central is. It can be said that every inch of land is expensive. Where is a tailor shop? Needless to say, the reputation alone must be not small.

  The famous tailor shops are generally not cheap.

  People are divided into different classes, and so are clothes.

  However, now that they are all in the car, it is hard for him to say anything.

   Isn’t it just two pieces of clothes, if it’s so great, it’s time to go to KTV.

   It's just that when thinking about the cost of going to KTV by himself in future generations, the corners of Chen Yi's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he touched the bag he carried with him, hoping that he wouldn't run out of money later.

  Since the 1950s, Xiangjiang has been internationally renowned for its excellent tailoring and unique tailoring skills, attracting a large number of foreigners to come to Xiangjiang for tailor-made clothes every year.

  In this era, many people will choose to work as apprentices in tailor shops after finishing primary or middle school. Tailoring takes a long time to study in the early stage of work. From elementary school to old age, it is almost possible to become a teacher.

  The famous Zhang Shihao in the later generations, that is, our brother Hao who has a big mouth, did this when he first appeared on the stage.

   As for whether it is true or not, anyway, it is shown on TV like this. From this point, it can be seen that the tailor shop in this era is the same as Meituan Ele.me in later generations.

   They are all 'talented' and cannot be underestimated.

  Chen's customization

  In the car, Chen Yi learned about this tailor shop from Li Wenhui.

The biggest change of Chinese people in modern times can start with clothing, from the early Eguanbo belt robe system to light and practical Western-style clothing. During this transformation process, a remarkable group of tailors emerged. Following the historical trend, breaking through the traditional model, devoting itself to the development of suits and cultivating professional talents, it has made outstanding contributions to the formation and development of modern Chinese clothing.

   and pioneering this new trend

   is the famous "Red Tailor" in modern times.

  Hong Gang tailors, from the name, people thought it was created by a gang, but it is not.

  The term "Hongbang tailor" originated in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

  At that time, in some port cities that had trade with foreign countries, many tailors had made clothes for foreigners (also known as "red hair").

  Because of this, the name "Red Gang Tailor" also comes from this.

   "Red hair" was originally the name of the Dutch people in the country, and then slowly followed by the Europeans, and it refers to Europeans in general.

"Red Tailor" is the main body of modern Chinese clothing history. In the history of Chinese clothing, it created five firsts, China's first suit, the first Chinese tunic suit, the first suit shop, and the first monograph on suit theory. , the first suit craft school.

  The four characters "Hongbang Tailor" have always represented the highest level of the Chinese clothing industry from the early days to the present.

  The owner of Chen Family Tailor, who learned tailoring skills in Ningbo, Shanghai and other places in his early years, then moved to Xiangjiang. With his skilled skills, he opened this "Chen Family Customization" in the early 1960s.

   Over the past 20 years, the Chen Family Customization has attracted a stable number of customers with its proficient skills, including many ladies and wives from big families like Li Wenhui.

  Walking into the "Chenjia Custom" store, you will see five rows of solid wood closets, with countless different styles of fabrics neatly placed in the display book.

  Li Wenhui walked into the store holding Chen Yi's hand. Seeing Li Wenhui, a gray-haired old man waved to the apprentice who was about to get up to greet him, and walked over by himself.

   "Master Chen, I didn't expect you to be in the store."

   "Long time no see, Miss Li." The old man greeted Li Wenhui with a smile, and then set his eyes on Chen Yi.

   "Hello, Master Chen"

   Seeing himself, Chen Yi greeted the old man out of politeness.

   "I don't know what to call Mr.?" Chen Ronghua asked.

  Chen Yidao: "I belong to the same family as Master Chen."

  Chen Ronghua was taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked, "I wonder what kind of clothes Mr. Chen plans to order?"

  Chen Yi saw that the old man directly asked himself what clothes to order, as if he had forgotten Li Wenhui beside him, so he asked, "How does Master Chen think that I ordered the clothes instead of her?"

  Chen Ronghua said: "Every time Miss Li comes to my place, she makes an appointment in advance."

  Li Wenhui said from the side: "Master Chen, please help me to see, what kind of clothes is more suitable for him?"

  Chen Ronghua looked at Chen Yi carefully for a while, and said: "This Mr. Chen's figure is suitable no matter what clothes he wears. It mainly depends on what occasion he attends. Whether he wears it for casual or formal occasions."

  Chen Yi heard the words, and said directly: "Mao suit, just the same as my outfit."

  Li Wenhui didn't object when Chen Yi said this, but he reminded: "Don't be too old-fashioned, Master Chen can see if you can adjust it so that he looks mature and stable in his clothes, but not too old-fashioned."

  Chen Ronghua nodded and said: "I understand, Miss Li, Mr. Chen, please wait a moment."

   Soon, Chen Ronghua asked his apprentice to measure Chen Yichi's body data. The best thing about customization is that the clothes are made to fit the body, and every nuance can be noticed.

  It was the first time for Chen Yi to order clothes. For this kind of clothes, he had to measure his bust and waist, and he didn't even spare his butt.

  I thought to myself, I won’t come here next time I beat myself to death, even if I come, I have to ask a little girl to measure myself.

   Otherwise, it is really embarrassing.
