Chapter 401 (1/2)
Guo Xiang asked Wang chuyun for several days off. The next day he took her shopping.
”Elder sister, I think your clothes are too old-fashioned. Why don't we buy some new clothes? We can wear skirts in summer.” Guo Xiang said.
Wang chuyun looks at Guo Xiang. She has beautiful short hair. She is wearing a light blue Georgette shirt on the upper body and light gray slim pants on the lower body. She looks very long legs and has a good figure.
She thought it strange that her sister used to dress more westerly than herself in the northeast?
I was dressed up with two braids, a really cool white shirt, blue pants and small leather shoes. This dress is very good in the unit, but why is it so rustic in front of her?
”Where did you buy your clothes?” Wang chuyun asked.
”Oh, I designed this myself and asked the tailor master to help do it.” Guo Xiangyang raised his eyebrows.
”Can you design clothes?” Wang chuyun was surprised that his sister used to be a nerd. She was not interested in anything except medicine. When did she learn to design?
”Oh, sister, I have been away from home for several years and have learned a lot.” Guo Xiang smiled and made excuses for himself.
In fact, Guo Xiangqin studied chess, calligraphy and painting for several years in his previous life. Later, although he didn't insist, he still had good skills. Moreover, later generations saw more things and just used them.
”I think the clothes you wear back are very good. You can help dad design clothes for their factory.” Wang chuyun said, ”although the business in the factory has been good in the past two years, it has always been following the styles in the south. It doesn't have its own style. I'm afraid people won't let us do it in the future, so...”
Guo Xiang nodded. Wang chuyun still has foresight. He can't follow others for a long time. He can only develop for a long time with his own design and brand.
He said, ”OK, I'll talk to dad and help him design some clothes.”
There are many styles of clothes for later generations in my mind. Pick a few sets that are not so avant-garde, as long as they are more novel than what they are now, and others can never compare with them.
”Why don't we go to the friendship store to buy clothes? The clothes there are all imported. Sister, you are still so young. You should dress up well. ” Guo Xiang said.
”But the friendship store needs foreign exchange certificates to buy things. We don't have them.” Wang chuyun said.
”Go and change it!” Guo Xiang thought of the overseas Chinese hotel, where so many foreigners must be able to exchange.
The first friendship store was opened in Donghuamen street in Beijing in the 1960s. It was originally specially set up for foreigners.
All goods are high-grade imported goods, and some domestic Maotai silk and other precious goods are only open to foreigners.
However, because foreign currency is not circulating in China and foreigners come in from abroad without RMB, foreign exchange certificates are issued.
After several years of development, friendship stores have been established in many big cities across the country, and foreign exchange certificates have been understood and used by more people. Later, not only foreigners, but also people holding foreign exchange certificates can shop in friendship stores.
If foreigners have RMB, they can buy things in other places, not just friendship stores, so many foreigners are still willing to exchange foreign exchange certificates.
Guo Xiang went to the overseas Chinese hotel. Sure enough, a foreigner was willing to change with her, so he cashed in several hundred yuan of foreign exchange certificates.
They went to the friendship store in Donghuamen.
Wang chuyun is also the first time to come here.
Although the Wangs are rich now, they used to be ordinary working families, so some habits have not changed.
Moreover, Wang chuyun spent his own salary after he had a job and didn't ask for money from his family, so his money is also very limited. He hasn't been to such a high-end place.
Guo Xiang took Wang chuyun to the clothing area. Although the clothes here didn't look very good in her eyes, they were much better than ordinary stores.
Guo Xiang took a fancy to a dress with red spots on a white background, ”sister, this is good!”
Wang chuyun looked at the price and was startled. ”This one is more than eighty?”
My salary is only 100 yuan a month.
