Chapter 245 The perfect tool who comes unexpectedly!
"By the way, Li Changhe, can you let us see your car?"
"I heard that your car is electric, or imported from abroad?"
Fang Shu asked Li Changhe curiously at this time.
Electric cars are truly a novelty in this era.
Li Changhe often rode to pick up Zhu Lin and was inevitably seen by teachers and students of Beijing Film Academy.
Then, Xie Yuan boasted about this car in class, and many people in the performance class became curious about this electric car.
"Yes, there it is! Look at it casually, it looks just like a bicycle, except that it has a battery."
Li Changhe pointed and said with a smile.
"Let's go and take a look."
Fang Shu pulled Shen Danping, and then came to Li Changhe's electric car.
"I heard from Xie Yuan that this thing can be driven by just holding the handlebars?"
Fang Shu looked at it carefully and asked curiously.
Li Changhe was speechless. This guy Xie Yuan could promote anything for him.
"Correct!"
"Can you let me try?"
Fang Shu asked Li Changhe cautiously at this time, mainly because she was really curious about this kind of car.
"What's wrong with this?"
Li Changhe casually inserted the key and turned on the power.
"Just hold it here, turn it down to supply electricity, and release it to stop supplying electricity."
Li Changhe explained it to Fang Shu, and Fang Shu sat on it curiously.
She was quite brave and became quite skilled at riding in a short while.
"This bike is really light and effortless to ride. It's much more convenient than a bicycle."
After riding back, Fang Shu said with emotion.
"Yeah, it's not laborious, but it wastes electricity!"
Li Changhe said with a smile.
Then he looked at Shen Danping on the side: "Student Shen, do you want to try it?"
Li Changhe didn't have any other ideas, he just made the invitation out of courtesy.
But Shen Danping waved her hand: "No, I won't ride it."
"Yeah, even charging this thing is a hassle, but it's definitely nothing to you."
"Thank you very much. Today I have learned a lot. We have to go back to the dormitory. Goodbye!"
Fang Shu just felt it for a while and then came down.
I heard from Xie Yuan that this thing costs more than a thousand yuan, and that’s in foreign currency, which is simply not something ordinary people like them can afford.
Fang Shu was just curious about the new and interesting foreign gadgets.
After the two people left, Li Changhe was too lazy to go in again, so he leaned back in the car and waited.
Not long after, the Beijing Film Academy bus came back and Zhu Lin got off the bus.
Seeing Li Changhe here, he immediately walked over.
"Let's go!"
The two then rode their electric bikes and headed home.
"Let's go to Lao Mo's tonight and not go home to cook!"
Now when they return to the Overseas Chinese Apartment from Xiaoxitian, Lao Mo is a must-pass on their way.
"Okay, let's go to Lao Mo!"
Li Changhe naturally had no objection.
Riding an electric bike, they arrived at the Moscow Western Restaurant and walked in.
"Comrade Changhe, you are here!"
Li Changhe and Zhu Lin are now regular customers of the store. As soon as they came in, a waiter came up to greet them.
"Are there any tables left?"
Li Changhe asked with a smile.
With the start of reform and opening up, Lao Mo's shop has attracted more and more customers, and the shop is often packed with people.
There are a lot more foreigners inside now. Looking around, you can see a bunch of foreigners.
"Yes, please follow me inside!"
Then, the waiter led Li Changhe and Zhu Lin in.
But Li Changhe didn't know that he had attracted the attention of a foreigner at the door.
"Mr. Cardin, what are you looking at?"
At a dining table, Zheng Qianli, a member of the National Textile Association, asked curiously to Pierre Cardin sitting opposite him.
At this moment, Pierre Cardin, who was staring at Li Changhe, came back to his senses and asked seriously: "Zheng, I saw a young man with a great figure. Can I go and talk to him?"
"Mr. Cardin, do you want him to be your model?"
As the translator and foreign affairs officer arranged by the Textile Association to accompany Pierre Cardin, Zheng Qianli was already very familiar with this foreign designer.
Ever since he came to this country last year, he has been wanting to bring the so-called beauty here.
This spring, he also held a model catwalk show at the National Palace.
The only people who could watch it at that time were insiders from the Textile Association and the Ministry of Textile Industry, as well as some reporters.
But even so, Western catwalk shows still bring extraordinary shock to domestic audiences.
In particular, some of the models' bold skirt-lifting movements were unacceptable to many Chinese people at that time.
Then the next day, a reporter wrote a report titled "The Smell of Foreigners' Farts"
A report shattered Pierre Cardin's dream of developing in the mainland.
But even so, he still didn't give up.
Because he always felt that this Eastern country with a population of one billion would have a day when clothing would awaken. So even when he encountered setbacks, Pierre Cardin did not give up and still came here from time to time to inspect and seek opportunities for cooperation.
Given his status as an internationally renowned fashion designer, his superiors were very tolerant of him. The Textile Association had always arranged for Zheng Qianli to receive guests and serve as an interpreter and foreign affairs officer.
"I don't have any plans to continue doing fashion shows for now, but the young man I just saw is the man with the best body proportions I've seen in your country!"
"I really want to communicate with him, and if possible, I would like to design a set of clothes for him."
"You know, this is a designer's hobby. When you see the most perfect figure, you always want to dress him up in the most exquisite way!"
"Zheng, can you understand what I mean?"
Pierre Cardin said excitedly to Zheng Qianli.
Zheng Qianli smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, I understand, our comrade is very outstanding, you want to design a set of clothes for him, right!"
"Well, I'll go with you and we can ask him, how about that?"
"If the other party agrees, then you can design clothes for him. If the other party disagrees, I think we can't force him!"
Zheng Qianli gave Pierre Cardin a heads-up in advance.
The main reason is that this foreigner has a lot of ideas.
When I came here last year, I often stopped pedestrians on the street and asked them to give me clothes so that they could display them on the street.
As a result, many people regarded him as a lunatic.
Later, I went to some factories to find male models to be clothing models.
Some young people did it out of curiosity, but were later sent away by the factory.
Many leaders of this era simply could not accept these strange costumes.
As a result, the Textile Association received many complaints, and many factory leaders called to report the incident.
Zheng Qianli had also been reprimanded several times, so this time, he had to give Pierre Cardin a shot of prevention in advance.
When Pierre Cardin heard what Zheng Qianli said, he nodded quickly and said, "No problem, we can go and ask him in a friendly manner."
Then, the two of them stood up and went inside to find Li Changhe and his group's table.
At the table, Li Changhe and Zhu Lin had just finished ordering their dishes.
"Mud is good?"
Hearing the broken Chinese, Li Changhe looked up and saw a foreigner and a Chinese man in a Zhongshan suit standing there.
"Hello, this is Mr. Pierre Cardin, an internationally renowned fashion designer. He saw you standing at the door just now and thought that you have a very good figure, so he wanted to come over and talk to you."
"By the way, you know body proportion, it's a term used exclusively by fashion designers, and it's not a bad word!"
Zheng Qianli was afraid that Li Changhe didn't understand, so he explained some professional terms to Li Changhe.
Li Changhe smiled and said, "You don't need to learn, I know all this!"
"So, he is Pierre Cardin?"
"Yes, I am Pierre Cardin."
Pierre Cardin could not understand other Chinese words, but he could still understand the pronunciation of his name.
He immediately nodded and replied yes, yes.
"Mr. Pierre Cardin, please take a seat!"
Li Changhe spoke to Pierre Cardin in English at this time.
When Pierre Cardin heard that Li Changhe could speak English, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"you can speak English?"
"Yes I will!"
"You can call me Victor!"
Li Changhe said with a smile.
"This comrade you?"
Zheng Qianli was a little surprised that the comrade in front of him suddenly started speaking English.
"Hello, strictly speaking, I am not your comrade. I am a Chinese student from overseas, currently studying at Peking University."
"By the way, what's your name?"
Li Changhe looked at Zheng Qianli and asked.
Zheng Qianli replied subconsciously: "Oh, hello, I am Zheng Qianli from the Textile Association."
"Great, so you are an international student. I can tell you straight away."
"Victor, I think your figure is very good. Among all the Chinese people I have ever seen, no, even if I count other models in the world, I don't think I have seen better proportions than you."
"I want to design a set of clothes for you and try it on you, how about it?"
"This is not a modeling invitation to you, it's just a request from a fashion designer!"
At this time, Pierre Cardin spoke quickly to Li Changhe in English.
Upon hearing this, Li Changhe readily agreed.
"Of course I think it's a great thing."
"Mr. Pierre Cardin, I have heard of your name. You used to be a key figure in Dior. Now I heard that you have created your own brand, is that right?"
Li Changhe communicated enthusiastically with Pierre Cardin.
Of course he had heard of Pierre Cardin, but not in this life, but in his previous life.
As the first fashion designer to come to China after the reform and opening up, Pierre Cardin was considered the earliest fashion designer to enter the country and created a well-known fashion design company, Pierre Cardin.
Li Changhe knew the fashion designer's persistence and was aware that he had achieved great success in China.
So when he introduced himself as Pierre Cardin, Li Changhe decisively switched his identity.
The person who knows him should not be Li Changhe, but the low-key wealthy Victor!
This is also the reason why he asked Zheng Qianli's name.
Later he will find Director Liao and fill the hole left by Zheng Qianli.
The main reason for doing all this is the designer in front of us.
When the designer appeared in front of him, several business plans instantly emerged in Li Changhe's mind.
No matter which one it is, the Pierre Cardin in front of us is an excellent tool!
