I'm A Baller - Chapter 131
Chapter 131: It Feels So Good
From the initial indifference to the panic after knowing the price, and finally, to appreciation, Wang Yan’s interest was completely roused…
The suit was very cool and trendy. Although it would not be worn many times, Wang Yan was looking forward to the day he put it on.
He solemnly thanked Master Palestra and the beautiful lady. The serious-looking old man grinned, looking quite kind.
“KICON’s purpose is to provide customers with the best of the best. Since you have shown that… well, perfect fit, then I can’t convince myself not to try.”
When the beautiful store manager translated, she also added an explanation of her own.
“Master Palestra’s attitude toward tailoring is very pious. Mr. Wang, you have activated his inspiration, so this is what you deserve. The reason why we don’t talk about money is that we don’t want you to have a misunderstanding about Kicon.”
Kicon did not ask for an increase in price, which was a very generous attitude.
Now Wang Yan knew that for Kicon’s high-order series, 300,000 yuan was just the basic price. In fact, every fabric had its own price.
If it was the special fiber that was mixed with gold powder or diamond powder when weaving, such as the super fabric of 200 strands mixed with diamond powder, goat hair and lotus flower fiber, the price of it exceeded Wang Yan’s imagination.
7,000 pounds per yard.
One yard = 0.9144 meters, and the width of the suit fabric was usually 1.5 meters, so the area of each yard was 1.37 square meters, and the price for each yard was 7,000 pounds.
Lin Weiwei even went online to find out the exchange rate of the pound against the RMB, and then quietly told Wang Yan, “The official exchange rate on August 27 is 1:9.805.”
Wang Yan did some simple calculations and came to the conclusion: 1.37 square meters of cloth cost 68,600 RMB, which was exactly 50,000 RMB per square meter.
The current housing prices between the third and fourth ring roads in the capital were around 50,000 yuan per square meter. One square meter of cloth was as expensive as one square meter of a house in the capital. Wasn’t that scary?
Fortunately, the fabric that Master Palestra wanted to change for Wang Yan was not the super fabric, otherwise Lin Weiwei would go bankrupt on the spot.
Even so, the new fabric was more than 30% more expensive than the old fabric. Even Wang Yan who did not know much about dyeing felt that the precise and magnificent dyeing technology was extraordinary.
Originally, if a customer changed the fabric, the price would be recalculated. However, since Master Palestra had taken the initiative to change the fabric, the beautiful lady manager gave it some consideration and agreed to give them the original price.
Upgrading without adding money, Wang Yan could be considered to have got a big bargain.
Of course, Kicon would definitely not lose out.
The difference between the cost price and the selling price was a mystery, and the handwork fee and brand added value were even more difficult to calculate.
Palestra, as a gold-medal tailor, had to try out his inspiration whenever he got one. There were quite a number of fabrics that were scrapped and destroyed on a daily basis, so he had complete authority in this issue.
Gouzi got lucky today.
But one must know the ways of the world and be grateful when they get a great favor.
Wang Yan’s expression was sincere as he thanked Palestra, “Thank you very much! I’ll leave it to you. I’ll be looking forward to the result of your work.”
The beautiful store manager translated the latter half of the sentence for him and received Palestra’s reply. She pondered for a moment and spoke to the youth solemnly.
“Mr. Wang, please don’t worry. Master Palestra does have some ideas to test, but this doesn’t mean that you’ll be a test subject. Please believe that Kicon always does its best for every customer and puts +1 effort into it .
“What Master Palestra wants to do is actually the + 1 part.”
Wang Yan nodded. “Very good, I understand, and I’m very satisfied. Thank you and Master Palestra. So I’ll see you next month?”
“Take care, I’ll see you out.”
…
It was a very comfortable and high-end shopping experience. After leaving the shop, Wang Yan was in a great mood, and Lin Weiwei felt even better.
“Wow! This shop is really the right choice. Everything is beyond my expectations!”
Wang Yan smiled. “Yes, Weiwei, you’re Amazing!”
Lin Weiwei was extremely beautiful. She shook her head, and her fiery red hair bloomed like a rose in an instant before settling down.
Tsk, when she was in a good mood, this big girl Pingzhi was quite a charming…
At this thought, Wang Yan suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Eh? Lin Weiwei has always been quite a woman? !
The one who acts like a guy is Yuanyuan, okay?
When did I start to form such a stereotype?
Before he could figure it out, Lin Weiwei suddenly asked, “What’s next?”
“Shopping, shopping, shopping!”
There were only one thing on their to-do list today, and it was only interrupted by Lin Weiwei’s gift. Now that the important matter was settled, the two of them officially embarked on a shopping spree.
First of all, of course, they were going to buy gifts.
They couldn’t forget the important matter — Little Princess’ birthday, so they went to buy gifts for her.
Lin Weiwei was in a good mood, and she began to gossip again. “The Little Princess is quiet on the outside, but she’s extremely wild on the inside. Why Don’t you give her an AP set, Doggie?”
AP?
Adding magic?
Seeing his confusion, Lin Weiwei smiled. “Agent Provocateur, a British high-end lingerie brand…”
Wang Yan turned his head and continued walking
“Next year on your birthday, I’ll give you two elastic bands.”
Lin Weiwei knew that it was definitely not a good thing, but she could not figure out the specific meaning, she chased after Wang Yan and asked, “Gouzi, what do you mean? You ungrateful brat. You’re messing with me, right? Quickly explain it to me!”
Wang Yan looked at her as if she was a moron. Are you stupid? I won’t say it even if you beat me to death!
“Let’s go, Let’s go! Let’s go to Chanel’s and have a look. I think buying a bottle of Chanel No. 5 is pretty good…”
Lin Weiwei was originally furious, but when she heard Chanel No. 5, she suddenly laughed like a husky.
“Hahaha… Stupid Gouzi!”
“You’ve set your eyes on Chanel # 5 for the rest of your life, haven’t you? I’m really glad for you. If you weren’t lucky enough to meet Liu Li, with your silly tastes, which girl would have been wooed by you?”
Wang Yan calmly retorted, “If it weren’t for Liu Li, which girl wouldn’t have been wooed by me with money?”
“Tck!” Lin Weiwei was unconvinced and curled her lips. “Why don’t you come to our Emperor Dance and try? If you didn’t have that stepping stone, who would pay attention to you?”
In fact, such an assumption was very hurting, but it was just a joke between friends.
Wang Yan retorted directly, “So only your Emperor Dance has beautiful girls?”
Lin Weiwei was stubborn. “The beauties of our school are better than the campus belles of the third-tier academies! What do you think?”
While Wang Yan sneered, Li Nuoyi’s special score of 94 suddenly flashed through his mind.
To be fair, just from her physical experience alone, she deserved to be at the top category in bodily enjoyment.
However, for some reason, Wang Yan didn’t miss this enjoyment and was very calm when he thought of her.
Even though she was extremely beautiful, she wasn’t even qualified to stand in the same league with Liu Li in Wang Yan’s mind.
If he had to choose between “Losing Li Nuoyi” and “Not being able to continue being friends with Lin Weiwei”, Wang Yan would definitely choose Lin Weiwei.
What was there to hesitate about?
It was interesting to exchange jokes with Pingzhi!
While thinking about this, Wang Yan stared at Lin Weiwei and laughed devlishly.
“F*ck!”
Lin Weiwei was very depressed. She used all her strength to hit Wang Yan on the back, but it was she who ended up with pain.
“Doggie, just you wait. Next time you and Liu Li have problems, see if I will help you or not!”
Wang Yan stopped teasing her now that he had gotten the upper hand.
If he teased her too much and she got her lesson, it wouldn’t be fun to tease her the next time.
“Can you hurry up and get down to business? What exactly am I buying for the Little Princess?”
“Just come with me. You talk too much nonsense!”
While strolling around and bickering, Wang Yan forgot about Li Nuoyi in the blink of an eye. He didn’t even realize that this was unusual.
How to put it?
In fact, it meant he was beginning to look at the world from the perspective of a god-level tycoon.
Everything in the world was classified into three categories.
Things that couldn’t be bought with money, things that could be bought with money, and things that couldn’t be bought for the time being but could be bought in the future.
After the classification was completed, the importance of each category was clear at a glance.
From now on, it couldn’t be said that he would never make a mistake, but he wouldn’t make a huge mistake and he would be able to handle things with ease.
At this moment, Wang Yan didn’t realize it yet. He was just naturally walking on the right path.
…
Lin Weiwei finally brought Wang Yan to a luxurious cosmetics store.
Other brands only had counters, but this one had a specialty store. It looked extraordinary.
Uh, it looked very expensive.
“Cosmetics? What specifically should I buy?” Wang Yan was a little confused.
Lin Weiwei rolled her eyes. “Watch carefully, I’ll pick. Remember what I pick! Next time when you buy me gifts, just pick the same ones!”
No, whose birthday is it tomorrow?
Shame on you, Pingzhi!
The young lady in the store was beautiful and gentle. Wang Yan decided not to bicker with her anymore.
Then, for the next ten minutes, Wang Yan watched Lin Weiwei’s performance in a daze.
His eyes became wider and wider.
“First is the pre-makeup cream…
“Little Princess’s skin is very good, neither dry nor oily. Pick a proper sunscreen before makeup… This is it!
“Liveliness soothing lotion with super broad light spectrum protection, 40ml 850 yuan for 40 ml. It’s worth it… Hey, miss, I have your shop’s card, can I have a discount?
“Only points? Do you have discounts for a SKP diamond membership card?
“No? But I had a discount last time… Oh, 95% discount for purchases over 5,000 yuan, right?
“OK, next is foundation…
“The 30ml Emerald Bottle Essence Foundation fluid is 750 yuan now? Why does it seem like the price has increased again? A free bottle of 5 ml essence to go with it? Okay, I’ll take one bottle.
“Next is powder cake… of course, Liveliness Essence of course! Powder cake with case, cherry pink and Ivory white. We buy these for a girl and she has such tender skin that I’m jealous…
“Eyeliner needs to be fine, and mascara that makes eyelashes look thick and curly!
“Makeup remover cream needs to be pure and moist, and give me a bottle of mascara-specific makeup remover.
“Okay, that’s all. I want two portions of the chosen stuff and put them in two bags. Pay the bill!”
The last sentence was said to Wang Yan.
Seeing that they had finally come to the paying part, Wang Yan was overjoyed.
F*ck, I finally don’t have to stand there and think about philosophy and doubt life. I’ll pay the bill!
A few small bottles and tubes cost 4,210 yuan for one set, and two sets cost 8,420 yuan. It was absurdly expensive.
Wang Yan finally knew how girls spent their money. According to Lin Weiwei, this was just makeup, and this stuff only covered half of the makeup process. It could only last for two to three months…
“Let me tell you, since your Liu Li doesn’t wear makeup, you just give the extra one to me! After ordering a suit for you, I’ll have to go hungry for the next year. If you have a conscience, next time you come to the capital, remember to fill up my stock of lipstick, perfume, and makeup…”
If I go shopping with you again, I’ll be a dog!
Wang Yan screamed silently, but on the surface, he looked extremely sincere as he said, “Don’t worry, tell me if you need anything!”
I’ll transfer money to you!
Lin Weiwei nodded happily and led Wang Yan to the men’s section.
“I’ll take it from here!”
Happy to hand things to her hand, he nodded righteously. “I trust you!”
It was indeed different when a shopping expert took action.
First of all, she directly passed a few brands specialized in mature styles, such as Armani, Tom Ford, Canali, Ferragamo, and so on. For Wang Yan, some of them were brands that he had never heard of before.
Sometimes, luxury items would look even uglier than ordinary brand if worn improperly.
Because they all had their own styles, they looked very distinctive. Therefore, if there was a conflict of styles, it would be like the character played by Huang Bo taking off Baleno and replacing it with a slutty-looking item.
After entering a shop, Lin Weiwei went straight to the youth section.
Every luxury clothing brand had more than one secondary line, which targeted different customer groups.
In the past, Wang Yan didn’t understand and bought things that caught his eye. The effect wasn’t bad, but in terms of matching details, he was definitely not as good as a wily old fox like Lin Weiwei.
And so, what happened next was a large-scale fitting show.
“Go and try this one.”
“That one won’t do. Put it down, put it down!”
“Eh? You need some accessories… D you want to wear a decorative chain?”
“Okay, okay, okay, you don’t have to… come, try this pair of pink pants!”
F * ck!
Looking at the sexy pink casual pants, Wang Yan’s face turned pink.
Then, Lin Weiwei found a pair of white and green casual shoes and stuffed them into Wang Yan’s hands.
“You said you would be obedient!”
“I. . .”
When he went into the fitting room, Wang Yan was in despair.
When he came out, he looked at himself in the mirror..
F*ck!
It looked good!
The soft pink pants were 3D cut, looking very slim. They matched the beige half-collared shirt, making his long legs look even longer.
The LV family’s blue and white checkered belt made his upper and lower body look especially distinct. The contrast was strong, but look very harmonious.
The color and lustre of the green shoes were very good, not as vulgar as Wang Yan had expected. Instead, they looked very trendy.
The entire outfit, perfectly displayed the best feature of Wang Yan’s body — the long legs that had been strengthened by [ Li Qinglong’s skin ] .
It was cool and stylish, but not frivolous. Especially when Wang Yan put on a reserved expression, he looked calm and steady. He looked great in this pink and green outfit.
The most amazing thing was that every item on him did not come from the same brand.
The shoes were Hermes, the shirt Prada, the belt Louis Vuitton, and the slutty pants were from Givenchy.
The combination enhanced Wang Yan’s appearance from 76 points to at least 85 points. Looking at himself in the mirror, he could not be happier.
Hehe, it felt so good…
