Back to the Republic of China to open a department store

Manager Jiang's wife pleaded guilty to the law, but who is behind the scenes has not been found out until now.

Luo Yunze took the opportunity to exchange all the servants in the Luo mansion.Except for Ale, the driver Lao Chen, Aunt Li in the kitchen, and Xiaoxiao's two servants, everyone including the butler was laid off by him.

In the Luo mansion, he, Luo Yunze, was the only "king". He would absolutely not allow any forces to lurk in invisible places and endanger his beloved son and woman.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, the traces that once belonged to Luo Zhenhua were completely erased five years after his death.

To the outside world, Luo Yunze is no longer "Young Master Luo" but "Master Luo", and even Luo Xiazhi has been promoted from "Third Young Master Luo" to "Third Master Luo".

Since that rainy night, He Lan has become distracted, wandering around the Luo mansion like a ghost every day, saying that there are ghosts in the Luo family.This ghost killed master Luo, and now he is going to kill her again.

In the end, the Luo family had to send her to a mental hospital for treatment—to Luo Xiazhi's surprise, it was Luo Minmin, who had always been soft-hearted and cowardly, who proposed to let He Lan live in a mental hospital.

On the day when the psychiatric hospital came to pick him up, Luo Hehe, who hadn't appeared for a long time, finally jumped out to stop him, and Luo Yunze sent bodyguards to carry him out.

She stood at the gate of Luo's house and scolded for half an hour before leaving crying, allowing the reporters squatting outside to take a good photo.

Luo Xiazhi suddenly felt that he never seemed to have a good understanding of these two nominal "sisters", and only regarded them as He Lan's vassals.Now it seems that the characters of the two sisters are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

The endless news about the Luo family has contracted the business of the entire Shanghai beach at the end of the year, and it's shooting~killing and mental illness, it's more exciting than the movie.

If there is any positive news, the only bright spot is that Luo Sanye created the "Ice and Snow Club" and once again "shaved head".

No matter how beautiful Li’s garden is, you can only drink northwest wind when you go up there. Although there is neither “ice” nor “snow” in Luo’s skating rink, it is fresh and fun, and it really drives the young men and women in Shanghai crazy.

Now if you are walking on the street and see girls in beautiful dresses with a pair of roller skates on their backs, don’t make a fuss, they are members of the “Shimai Ice and Snow Club”!

After the "Ice and Snow Club" officially opened, it adopted a business model of membership and individual customers in parallel.

Individual tourists can buy tickets on the day to enter the venue. The ticket is one yuan, and they can skate on the roller skating rink for one hour. The number of people in each game does not exceed 50.If you are lucky and get tickets, you can watch a free ice play show at six o'clock and eight o'clock every night.

For the membership system, the annual fee is 100 yuan a year, and there is no time limit. You can come to play as long as the department store is open.A painful lesson has been learned from the VIP card. In order to prevent multiple people from using one card, all membership cards of the "Ice and Snow Club" are affixed with bare-headed ID photos.

At that time, there was no such thing as figure skating. Seeing young and beautiful girls and boys wearing good-looking leotards speeding back and forth on the ice rink was very attractive to Shanghai citizens who had never seen any ice and snow events.

At first, Luo Xiazhi was still thinking about whether the [-] yuan ticket was too expensive for ordinary citizens. After all, [-] yuan was enough for a day's living expenses, but when he saw the scalper at the door selling the tickets for the performance to [-] yuan, it was still worth it. After someone held up a ticket to buy it, he decisively turned around and called the police, asking them to take the scalper away.

He was wrong, he shouldn't have doubted the spending power of Shanghai citizens and their nature of "scrambling and rambunctious".

----------------

It's another year of warm spring and flowers blooming. Tianjin sent news that the ice and snow melted after the beginning of spring, and the Neptune Alkali Plant has entered the construction stage.

As Rorschach predicted, the war in Western Europe has entered a stalemate, and the whole of Europe has become a meat grinder blooming everywhere.

Roche's buyers, who have been rooted in Europe for many years, spent a very low price on some large-scale machinery and equipment that was impossible to get in touch with, and imported them back to China bit by bit.

At the same time, a large number of technical documents and books that were originally prohibited from export were also brought back to China.Regardless of whether he can use it or not, Luo Xiazhi will not refuse these precious materials.

On the other hand, Master Liang's "Flying Dragon Garment Factory" provided uniforms for the military at home and abroad, and on the other hand began to make clothes for ordinary bosses.

Although the price of the fabrics produced by his textile factory has no obvious advantage compared with foreign fabrics, fortunately, the patterns are specially designed by someone. Compared with foreign fabrics, they are more popular with Chinese bosses, so the sales volume is not bad .

Following Luo Xiazhi's suggestion, he divided the ready-to-wear into five grades: small, medium, large, oversized, and huge. The trousers were also divided into more than a dozen lengths and sizes according to the waist circumference.

The first batch of spring and summer new products listed includes men's shirts and trousers, women's dresses and dress pullovers.

It's just that after these clothes were hung on the shelves of Shimai Department Store, many people looked at them, but not many people bought them.Even though Shimai Department Store has promised to loosen and narrow them for free according to the actual size after purchase, these people are still unwilling to buy.

The most irritating thing is that because these clothes are novel in style, they were specially designed by the designer of the Academy of Fine Arts hired by Liang Shaolong, after referring to European and American fashion styles and Chinese body shapes for many years. More ironic without losing the western style.Surprisingly, some ingenious girls went back to buy similar fabrics after trying on clothes at the counters of department stores, and asked the little tailor in the alley to order a set of "knockoff" versions, and then proudly took to the streets went.

Liang Shaolong saw it a few times on the road, and he was so angry that he beat his chest and stomped his feet, wishing to catch those girls and give them a good lesson.

Seeing that spring is coming to an end, so many clothes are backlogged, and it will become a "big problem".The point is, it's not just a problem with this batch of clothes, it's a problem with the concept of ready-made clothes that the common people don't accept at all except leather goods and coats.

"Then let's hold a 'fashion show'! If the effect is good, I promise to sell all these clothes within half a month."

Luo Xiazhi patted Liang Shaolong on the shoulder after seeing the ready-made clothes piled up like hills in the warehouse.

"Show what?"

"Perform dressing."

"What? I only know how to act undressed."

"..."

Li Ye turned his head away, pretending that he didn't understand anything.

Now that he has been in college for a year, he is getting taller and more handsome.I heard that there were also beautiful female students who took the initiative to pursue them, but he sternly rejected them all, and I don't know how many Suzhou girls' hearts were broken.

"The time is a bit rushed, so let's set it next Sunday! As for the female models, the girls in the 'Xiantao Class' are all very beautiful, and some of the newly recruited saleswomen also have good figures."

Luo Xiazhi snapped his fingers to the head.

No way, there is no such thing as a "model" concept these days, let alone a professional model team.If you want to hold a fashion show, you can only attract people yourself.

"The girls and boys in the Bingxi team are all good. But the male models are really... Not many of the general salespersons are beautiful."

Luo Xiazhi frowned in embarrassment, and looked back at the two people who were looking at him with dazed faces.

"Hey! Isn't this a ready-made 'male model'!"

Liang Shaolong closed his mouth and just looked at his appearance, he was tall and powerful.

As for Li Ye, it's a serious little fresh meat, who wouldn't like it if the aunts and mothers saw it.

Do you want to bring Gu Hanlin here too?Forget it, at least he is the director. If he really came to the catwalk, he would definitely be called "disgraceful" by those old antiques.

Thinking of this, Luo Xiazhi smiled "hehe", and a flash of light flashed on the lenses of the glasses, which made Liang and Li's hairs stand on end.

----------------

On a weekend in March, the atrium of Shimai Department Store was already full of people who came to have a sneak peek.Some came here on purpose because they read the newspaper and knew that there was such a "Shimai Spring Fashion Show", and more came here because they wanted to go shopping, but they were attracted by the excitement here.

"What's a 'press conference'? What's the release? What's the T-shaped table above? People in front, what did you see, tell me?"

"Oh, I don't know, are you going to sing? You see, there is a row of sofas in the front, for VIPs to sit on?"

The crowd standing behind stood on their tiptoes, but still only saw a black head in front of them.

But this person was smart enough to take the escalator directly to the second floor, and leaned on the railing on the second floor to look down.His move also inspired the customers who came in behind, so they saw curious crowd lying on the railings of every floor from the second floor to the seventh floor.

The security guards and floor managers in charge of floor safety tensed up, telling each other to pay attention to safety and not to stretch their bodies too far.Take care of the child with the child's attention, it will be terrible to fall.

As the time approached, a circular spot of light suddenly fell on the strangely shaped stage. Everyone was shocked at first, not knowing what was going to happen, and they all became curious.

But the spot of light just fell there and didn't move, which made people feel a little disappointed again.

"Third Young Master Luo...ah no, what is Third Master Luo going to do this time? Why do I feel that it is not as fun as before? I said he might be 'exhausted'."

"Hey, look, someone came in..."

While everyone was chattering away, a group of brightly dressed men and women with proud expressions stepped onto the stage.

"Hey, isn't this the third lady of the Sheng family?"

"Ah, Miss Phalaenopsis, my goddess is here too!"

"Young Master Jin, Young Master Jin, why is Young Master Jin here? Young Master Jin is dressed so 'tangibly' today!"

Everyone who came to the stage was a celebrity from the local social circle or entertainment circle dressed in fancy clothes, including movie stars, and some so-called "famous ladies" and "wealthy young men".

They came out from the back of the stage one by one, stood on the still spot of light, waved to everyone, said hello, and then walked off the stage, and were guided to the sofa to be seated.

There was quite a bit of excitement about the presence of local celebrities, but there was still complete confusion about what a "fashion show" was.

Finally, after the celebrities and ladies were all seated, Tingting, the familiar girl from Xiao Feiyan, took the stage with a microphone.

For Xiao Feiyan, the customers of Shimai Department Store are very familiar with it. Whenever there are large-scale events in Shimai, this beautiful and capable girl is the "company secretary".

I heard that since she became the floor manager on the third floor, there are not a few men who gritted their teeth and went to the third floor to buy gold pens in order to see the beauty.

Luo Xiazhi also heard people say in private that there is such a group of extremely boring men who have set up a "Little Feiyan Admirers Alliance" in private, or "Aifei Alliance" for short. Feiyan goes to work - from the perspective of his "previous life", it is a pheasant fan club, and there may be suspicion of "illegitimate meal".

However, Xiao Feiyan came from an opera background after all, so she didn't take the existence of such an "alliance" seriously at all, and she should go to work every day without any delay.

No, as soon as Xiao Feiyan took the stage, the guys in the "Alliance" started clapping wildly. Luo Xiazhi, who was sitting on the sofa in the first row, turned around and saw someone waving a huge rose flower. The placard, with the words "Aifei" circled in pink and white roses, really startled him.

"What is this... the Republic of China support light sign?"

Rorschach was taken aback.

"Master, this is the 'flower card'."

A Le bent down and said.

"Theater, at the entrance of the cinema, whenever famous actors and actresses come on stage, there are gifts from movie fans. Good flower cards cost several hundred yuan each. With the flower cards, actors can ask the theater for dividends. You don't like to hear it, young master. play, so I don’t know.”

Although everyone calls Luo Xiazhi "Third Master" now, but he still hasn't changed it, and still treats him like a young master. Fortunately, Luo Xiazhi doesn't care.

"Tsk tsk..."

Rorschach was amazed.

This fandom culture is interesting. Looking at the fans after more than 100 years, they are playing the same tricks that movie fans use now.

Xiao Feiyan didn't wear a traditional cheongsam today, but a lavender dress with a cheongsam stand-up collar, which looks elegant and playful. It is the style of this batch of ready-made clothes that can be regarded as a "combination of Chinese and Western".

Under Xiao Feiyan's introduction, everyone realized that the so-called "fashion show" was to show everyone the effect of Shimai Department Store's latest spring and summer clothes on people. Immediately, everyone started talking about it.

"How fresh, don't you know the effect of the clothes hanging there, and you want to wear them specially for us to see? This Mr. Luo is really 'exhausted'."

"Hey, that's not the case. The beauties in this painting are not as friendly as real beauties. Whether the clothes look good or not, people have to put them on and walk around to experience the effect."

"That's right, hey, look, is the dress on the Phalaenopsis the same as the dress hanging in the glass window at Shimai's door? When I passed by just now, I thought it was ordinary, how could it look so beautiful on the Phalaenopsis?" ah."

"Because Phalaenopsis is still beautiful even in a rag."

Just when everyone was discussing, a burst of joyful music sounded, bringing everyone's attention back to the stage.

I saw a girl in a dress bouncing up and down.The girl looked very festive, with double ponytails, a pair of big eyes looking forward, and holding a small white bag in her hand, which matched the color of her clothes.

"Hey, isn't this the saleswoman from the women's clothing department! She was the one who received me when I accompanied my wife to buy clothes last week!"

A man cried out loudly.

The girl in the dress walked all the way to the end of the rooftop, and stopped at the spot where the lights were lit.She pinched her waist uncompromisingly, posed several playful poses, and taught everyone to take a good look at her, then turned around and walked back, and finally disappeared behind the stage.

Regarding the origin of the light spot, during the rehearsal before, Luo Xiazhi explained to them the positioning point for a long time, and everyone didn't understand it. He simply moved a strong light from the roof and played a positioning light point for them.

In Luo Xiazhi's original words - stand on that circle and twist it for me, the more twisted it looks, the better.

"Oh! It turns out that this is the so-called 'dress for us'!"

Everyone suddenly realized.

After the girl in the dress, came a girl in a plain A-line skirt with a matching color-block top.That girl came from the "Xiantao Class" singing opera. She was taller and taller than the previous one, and her posture was better. After she left the stage, a group of people were asking what kind of clothes she was wearing, and where could she be at the counter? buy.

At this time, many staff members suddenly appeared and distributed the printed and colorful brochures to everyone.

Holding the booklet, everyone looked at it wholeheartedly, only to realize that the booklet contained all the clothes that were to be "released" today, and each piece of clothing had the name, material, and price written on it. You can buy it at the counter on which floor and number.

"I'm going to buy this one, it looks good on the sister just now."

"Don't worry, you didn't see that there are so many clothes, they will definitely wear them one by one later. You can see the effect and then talk about it."

"Hey, why are there still men's clothes? Are there any men to perform?"

"Oh, Cena, it's Liang Shaolong!"

The eyeballs of Young Master Jin sitting in the VIP seat stared out.

On the stage, Liang Shaolong put one hand in his trouser pocket, wore a pair of brown American aviator sunglasses, and walked out casually in a jacket.

He is about 1.8 meters tall, with a burly figure and a pair of long legs that can almost poke everyone's eyes. With this zipper jacket and Martin boots, he looks even more unrestrained and unruly, compared to the "movie" on the big screen. "Emperor" is handsome and charming.

This guy is a complete "crazy man", and he was quite repulsed by Xiao Xia to come over to be a "male model".But now that the spotlight was on, and seeing the way the girls and aunts below looked at him, Young Master Liang suddenly felt it.

"Ah, who is this? Is it a male star I don't know?"

"You're crazy, this is the original Young Master Liang of the 'Qinglongtang'. Have you forgotten that he beat you up for fighting with you for the girl of 'Xianlusi'?"

A dude next to Young Master Jin asked in a low voice, and was shocked by his ruthless answer the next second.

Liang Shaolong is indeed a peerless handsome man who doesn't speak. Standing on the spot of light, he first put his hands on his hips, then simply took off his sunglasses, and showed his evil charm to the little girls who were already covering their mouths and their hearts were about to jump out. A wild smile.Then he turned around without a teacher, leaving everyone a blown kiss.

The air in the arena suddenly exploded!

"Ahhh, I'm going to die! Who is he, and why is he so good-looking!"

"What should I do? I'm so excited. Do I have to do something? How is this 'press conference' rewarded? Can I throw money and jewelry on the stage?"

These excited ladies didn't know the rules of watching shows, so they directly brought the set from the theater garden, pulled off the rings on their hands and threw them on the runway.

For a moment, Liang Shaolong's back was covered with brooches, rings and large silver dollars, which seemed like a cart full of fruit.

It's just that the staff followed behind and cleaned up in a bit of a mess.

The women were crazy, while the men picked up the brochures one after another, and began to look for "Liang Shaolong's same style" jackets and trousers.

Immediately after Liang Shaolong came on stage was Li Ye.

He was wearing a clean white shirt, navy blue trousers, and a student cap, and walked around shyly before coming down.But all the careful female guests can see that this white shirt has conspicuous color-blocking patterns on the neckline and cuffs, which looks elegant and fashionable.

The brothers and sisters and mothers who were about the same age at home also began to search through the booklets, and decided to go and see how the clothes were made.

When Li Ye got off the stage, he saw Liang Shaolong raised his head to him, "Look, none of them screamed, obviously they like me more than you."

He, Liang Shaolong, is also the living signboard of Feilong Garment Factory!

Li Ye turned her head silently, deciding not to argue with fools...

The "climax" of the fashion show is a group of tall men and women wearing light sportswear and stepping on roller skates, collectively performing thrilling skating moves on the runway.

They either crossed and shuttled, or the golden rooster was independent, and they also performed a thrilling throwing action together, which made the crowd screaming.

Amidst the applause, the first spring fashion show of Mai Shi came to a successful conclusion.Many impatient customers didn't even read the final curtain call, and rushed directly to the counter with the brochure in their hands—what if the clothes were sold out when it was late?

A large number of spectators here went to buy clothes, while another group ran backstage and surrounded Luo Xiazhi and the staff.

"Master Luo, tell me quickly, where did you buy Liang Shaolong's sunglasses? Was it at Shimai's glasses counter?"

The one who spoke was the young master who had been beaten by Liang Shaolong. He was embarrassed to ask Liang Shaolong directly, so he ran to find Luo Xiazhi.

"Xiao Feiyan, what brand of lipstick are you using today? What is the color number? Oh, take me to the counters one by one to buy. I will buy what you are wearing, what you are wearing, and what you put on your face today. Once again!"

A young lady simply grabbed Xiao Feiyan who was reporting the work situation to Luo Xiazhi, and was about to walk towards the counter.

When passing by Luo Xiazhi's side, this very interesting young lady chopped off her feet and said to him in a coquettish tone, "Mr. Luo, why did you just come up with such a good-looking thing now! If you get this sooner , I guarantee that all the clothes will be covered by your house throughout the year."

"I'm ashamed, I just invested in a garment factory the year before last, and this is the first batch of new products this year. I wanted to make everyone happy, so I made this little gadget, which made Young Mistress Qian laugh."

"Hey, Mr. Luo, the whole Shanghai has the most 'Flower Classics'. I don't know which lady will be lucky to marry you in the future, so I will die of happiness every day. It's settled, every season from now on For the 'press conference', leave the front row seat to me!"

"sure."

Luo Xiazhi bowed in a gentlemanly manner, and watched Young Mistress Qian take Xiao Feiyan on a crazy shopping trip.

This Young Mistress Qian is a famous lady on the beach, she likes to join the trendy crowd, leading a group of famous ladies everywhere to follow the fashion.With her permission, Luo Xiazhi finally affirmed that this "show" was a success.

Moreover, the words of this Miss Qian gave Luo Xiazhi a great "inspiration"...

The author has something to say: Today, let’s talk about how people in the past "chased stars".

Generally speaking, the flower cards in theaters are sold to movie fans. Whoever the fans support will buy their flower cards. The more expensive the bigger the more prestigious the cards.Not only theaters, but also dance halls in the past.In the karaoke halls of the 90s, if you like someone, you can just buy a flower basket in the karaoke hall and give it to her.Then the stars and singers will ask for dividends from theaters and karaoke halls according to the price and number of flower cards and flower baskets.The more flower cards you have, the more popular you are.

In addition, operas are usually sung in gardens, and troupes do not have their own gardens, so usually on the seventh day of singing in a week, the income of that day will belong to the theater as money for "subsidizing the troupe".Usually the theater tickets on this day will be sold at high prices by the theater.Interesting~~
