Chapter 233 Street Adventures
Until breakfast, Wang Ye still remembered the girl from time to time. The eyes left a deep impression on him.
Who does this girl look a bit like? She always feels a little similar to someone. Wang Ye was eating breakfast absent-mindedly while thinking about it hard.
Liu Ruomei said in an amazement: "This hotel seems to be very famous. I saw many photos of heads of various countries staying here on the wall. There are also many big stars. Audrey Hepburn seemed to live here often before..."
Hearing this name, a flash of lightning seemed to flash through Wang Ye's mind. By the way, it was her! The girl felt a bit like Hepburn when she was young, the image in the Roman holiday movie!
It’s not that the two look very similar, but that their eyes are very similar, they are so pure and so can never be forgotten at first glance.
But it was just curious, and Wang Ye didn't think about taking the initiative to chat with him. This is Kelech, and the people living here are either rich or noble! Maybe they are the heirs of which giant, or even the princess of which royal family is.
Sometimes it’s better to simply appreciate beautiful things.
After breakfast, Citibank's customer assistant Salice has arrived. This is a British woman in her thirties. She is serious but not rigid, and does not have the common arrogant look of the people of the British Empire. She has a smile on her face at any time.
"Mr. Wang, today's itinerary is to go to Savile Street and make an appointment with Anderson & Sheppard Studio to measure your body."
This studio was first recommended by Nie Dingwen and was also one of the most famous haute coupon stores.
It is also the most prestigious tailoring shop on Savile Street, with long-term clients including numerous royal celebrities.
To customize Anderson&Sheppard suits, you must measure the body at least 27 times to obtain the most accurate garment data belonging to the individual. After at least 50 working hours, you can cut 1:1 to create a completely comfortable and free clothing. This is also the super high quality guarantee of Anderson&Sheppard.
Although Savile Street is famous for a long time, it is not lively. It looks like an ordinary street with narrow roads and sparsely populated areas.
There are 10 or 20 old stores on the street. The reason for the few customers is not only because of the high price, but also because of the cumbersome steps to customize clothes here.
Since you come here to customize, of course you choose to fully customize it, but after this process, it usually takes 8-12 weeks, which is two or three months!
Modern people generally rarely have this patience. They have to do a set of clothes for three months? Are you kidding?
Some big-name ready-to-wear clothes are actually of good quality. They buy them and take them away. It’s so convenient.
However, Wang Ye’s purpose this time was to customize a few suits, so of course it would not be troublesome.
When I came to Anderson&Sheppard store, I had already made an appointment and the measuring staff had been waiting for a long time. Wangye planned to customize five sets at a time. Anyway, it would be a problem. Order a few more sets at a time. This is also a big order. You should know that this store only has hundreds of sets a year.
After tedious measurement of the body, every part of the body needs to be measured several times, leaving behind Wang Ye’s detailed physical data.
Not only suits, but also shirts, tie and leather shoes.
There are more than 2,000 choices for clothing fabrics, and many top-quality fabrics are not available on ready-to-wear because of the small output.
Wang Ye prefers solid colors and pinstripes. The first choice for material is of course cashmere, and the best cashmere comes from the Gobi Desert.
The cashmere in the Gobi Desert is the most beautiful and popular one. In the Gobi Desert, the temperature difference between the four seasons can range from minus 40 degrees to minus 40 degrees above zero. Goats adapt to the weather conditions here, and their long wool can withstand bad weather.
Nomads will collect cashmere fiber from the abdomen of goats once a year. Each goat can collect no more than 150 grams of fiber. It is so precious. You should know that the fabric of a suit weighs about 900 grams. That's right, 6 goats worked hard to save for one year just to dedicate the wool to you to make a suit.
A fabric specially recommended by a tailor in his fifties and a gray-haired beard and hair to Wang Ye. According to him, this cashmere fabric comes from the Gobi desert, and it is selected from the best!
A three-piece suit requires 10 goats to produce a year, and the price is of course extremely expensive! A three-piece suit costs 18,000 pounds, which is converted into RMB, which is nearly 200,000. It is really a B-class joint venture car that is worn on it.
Wang Ye chose two sets of this kind of fabric, and three sets of relatively poor fabrics.
Then I chose shirts, tie and leather shoes. All of them came down, and the amount was 96,000 pounds on the bill.
This money should be spent and can be worn for a long time, Wang Ye comforted himself.
Xiaomei, who accompanied him, has long been speechless. The life of the capitalist is so decayed! Just one set of clothes costs 200,000?! It’s almost a million after a few sets!
Alas, I looked at my clothes that were over 1,000 yuan on it. I bought it in the mall after I started working.
Sure enough, the happiness of a rich man is beyond imagination for a poor man like himself.
It is really a very troublesome thing to measure your body. Both of them had lunch in the store. When they finished all their work, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.
Walking out of the shop gate, Wang Ye was about to take a walk around nearby, which is also a bustling area in central London.
There are not too many pedestrians on the streets of Europe, and now it is not during holidays, so there is no large number of shopping people coming from China. Therefore, the streets are becoming increasingly deserted.
The two walked slowly along the old but clean street.
When passing by a Burberry store, Wang Ye took Liu Ruomei into the store and bought a few scarves.
Burberry's clothes are not evaluated, but its scarf is still very good, so it is good to take them back as a small gift to give to someone.
Burberry is a British national treasure brand, and it is also a brand that best represents British temperament.
Burberry's scarf continues the brand's philosophy, decorated with twill plaid patterns and hand-drawn silk threads, as well as the classic burberry logo, square brown silk... This scarf has a plaid design to the corners, and a large light brown in the middle with a jacket of various colors that reflects the unique taste.
When it comes to Burberry, of course, we have to mention the Burberry check pattern created in 1924: beige base, red, camel, black and white plaids, which have also become the classic representative patterns of Burberry.
Buying Burberry things here is much cheaper than in China, after all, it is the origin.
Some scarves sold for five or six thousand yuan in China only cost two or three thousand yuan, which is half the cheaper!
Wang Ye chose more than a dozen items in one go, but there was no way. There were too many people who needed to give away, so there was not enough share. Liu Ruomei naturally had a share, so Wang Ye asked her to choose two items by herself and pay together.
After buying the goods, the two of them were about to return to the hotel. This place was not far from the Kelech Hotel where they lived, and Wang Ye did not ask Salice to send a car to pick him up.
While chatting with Liu Ruomei, he walked leisurely towards the hotel. What he didn't notice was that he had been targeted.
To be honest, the public security of European and American countries is far inferior to that of domestic countries, and stealing and robbing are commonplace.
This is the city center, so robbery is not the case, but stealing is very common.
Wang Ye and his two people are obviously Easterners. In recent years, Dongfang Kong has not only been popular among European and American businesses, but also unanimously praised by the theft gang!
I have money! I have a lot of cash! I usually don’t care after being stolen, or I basically don’t call the police station. Such a fat sheep is so great!
Therefore, like the European and American cities that Chinese people often visit, many thieves like to stare at Dongfang Kong.
Wang Ye and Liu Ruomei came out of Savile Street and were targeted. They could stay at Anderson & Sheppard store for most of the day. They must have ordered it all. This is a big fat sheep!
A young man in his twenties and whose eyes were dripping, stared at him. When he saw Wang Ye and the others coming out of the Burberry store, carrying more than a dozen gift bags in his hands, he even confirmed that Wang Ye was the fat sheep he had been waiting for for a long time.
The young man first quietly walked a distance with Wang Ye and the other two, then deliberately lagged behind half a step and quietly stretched out his hand, with the target being Wang Ye's trouser pocket.
He observed for a while and Wang Ye's wallet was a big LV wallet, which was packed in the back pocket, and it was bulging, which was obvious.
As soon as he touched the bulging wallet, before he could pull it out, he heard a crisp shout from behind, "STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DONING?!" (Stop! What are you doing?)
He was so scared that he shook his whole body and his hands shrank back.
Wang Ye also heard the shout and looked back and saw a girl pulling a suitcase running towards her not far away.
He stopped and waited for the girl to approach, and found out that it was the girl he met in the gym in the morning! The big blue eyes that he had always been impressed with.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Wang Ye asked in surprise in English.
The girl ran to him panting, pointed behind him and said, "That person...that person was just stealing your wallet!"
Wang Ye turned his head and saw that the young man who was walking side by side with him was running into an alley. He immediately understood what was going on. He touched the wallet in his pocket behind him, and it was still there. It seemed that the thief did not succeed when the girl called him.
Since there was no loss of anything, there was no need to call the police. Wang Ye said to the girl gratefully: "Thank you this time, otherwise it would be really troublesome."
It’s okay if you lose money, but the key is that your bank card, ID card and passport are in your wallet. If you lose it, you will have to make a lot of trouble.
The girl smiled and said, "It's okay. When you see such a thing, everyone will stop it."
This is not something that everyone can do. Most people have the attitude of not having more things, and it is not about their own affairs. People all over the world are the same.
Seeing her carrying the suitcase, Wang Ye asked curiously: "Are you leaving?"
