Reborn Capital Tycoon

Chapter 24 The 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.

And Chen Yi himself 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.

It's no wonder that he treats 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 believed in Li Wenhui, but he was not familiar with Li Daheng. Once such a person was caught by the other party, he would not be able to escape even if he wanted to.

Be careful about everything, that's right.

After signing the contract, Chen Yi has no interest in staying in TVB.

Promised Li Wenhui to buy two 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.

"Mingzi, you sit in the front co-pilot."

"We sit in the back"

With that said, Li Wenhui pulled Chen Yi into the back seat.

Qi Dahai, who was sitting in the driving seat, glanced at the rearview mirror. Until now, he has not figured out how Chen Yi got Li Daheng's approval.

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

"Uncle Qi, go to Chen Ji"

Li Wenhui said to Qi Dahai who was sitting in the driving seat.

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

"In Central," Li Wenhui said.

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

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

And the famous tailor shop, generally the price is not cheap.

People are divided into ranks, 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.

However, thinking of the expense 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 for a while.

Since the 1950s, Xiangjiang has been famous internationally for its exquisite tailoring and unique tailoring skills, attracting a large number of foreigners to come to Xiangjiang for tailoring every year.

In this era, many people choose to work as apprentices in tailor shops after finishing elementary 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 ready to become a teacher.

Zhang Shihao, who is famous in later generations, that is, our brother Hao who is so explosive, did this when he first appeared on the stage.

As for whether it is true or not, anyway, it was played like this on TV. 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 the pioneer of this new trend

It is the famous "Red Tailor" in modern times.

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

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

At that time, in some port cities with foreign trade, 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 China's clothing industry from the early days to the present.

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

Over the past 20 years, Chen's 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 "Chen's Customized" 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: "We 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 him 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 for any clothes, it mainly depends on what occasion he is attending, whether he is wearing it for casual or formal occasions."

When Chen Yi heard this, he said directly: "Let's go for a Chinese tunic suit, just the same as my outfit."

Seeing what Chen Yi said, Li Wenhui didn't object, but she 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 customizing is that the clothes are made to fit the body, and every nuance can be noticed.

It was Chen Yi's first custom-made clothes. For this kind of clothes, he measured his bust and waist, even his butt, which made him very embarrassed.

I thought to myself, I will not come here next time if I am beaten to death, even if I come, I have to ask a little girl to measure myself.

Otherwise, it is really embarrassing.
