Metropolis: My Rising Life

After finishing the ready-to-wear suit, he spent another 400,000 yuan out in one go. Chen Yi thought he could endure not spending money until the game was launched.

But in the end he discovered that the money could not be kept at all. Sometimes some money must be spent if it should be spent, and it is impossible to save it if it wants to save it.

In order to give Xiao Gong the first romantic ceremony, it cost Chen Yi about half a million just to buy the dolls and book the venue at Disney.

In addition to buying a suit this time, the inexplicable money is one million less.

One million, if it were Chen Yi before rebirth, the money could be spent for many years, but now it is really spent in a blink of an eye, and it doesn't even feel at all.

"Mr. Chen, please come with me. Our master tailor is waiting for you inside."

I bought the ready-to-wear, which was prepared for the Chanel Autumn/Winter Fashion Show for a while, but Chen Yi still needs a piece of his own customization, so today's shopping is not over yet.

Following the mature shopping guide lady, I went to the VIP room of Brioni, which is a place specially prepared for customers who customize suits.

The newlyweds over there were also stunned by Chen Yi's handsome suit. His wife finally stopped hesitating this time and decided to let her husband buy the suit of 140,000 yuan.

She longed for her husband to be able to wear Chen Yi's effect.

Ahem, ma'am, it’s not me who said you, wearing such a handsome effect really has nothing to do with the clothes, it is related to people, you really don’t have to spend so much money!

It's a pity that the newlyweds could not hear Chen Yi's complaints, and they bought a set of ready-to-wear suits and prepared to wear them at the wedding ceremony.

Entering the VIP room, it is quite open and bright, all kinds of suit fabrics are hung around the walls, and there are many wooden boxes on the tool table on the side.

A very gentlemanly dressed old man in his 50s or 60s was there watching the artwork in his hand attentively. After Chen Yi came in, he put down his things and stood up to greet him.

"Mr. Chen, this is our chief tailor Zhou Master. He is a Chinese Italian and has been working in Brioni for more than 30 years. Even in Brioni, he is a master."

"...He will serve you next."

With that said, the shopping guide lady just returned.

"Hello, Master Zhou."

Chen Yi stepped forward and shook hands with the old man in front of him.

Chen Yi has always held great respect for this kind of real craftsman who has been focusing on a certain industry for decades. Sometimes this kind of person is really not measurable with money.

"You can't be a master, it's just that you have been sewing clothes for so many years. Practice makes perfect."

The old man in a suit was very easy-going, and he also joked with Chen Yi. His Chinese is a little strange, but he can understand.

"Mr. Chen, please stand over."

Chen Yi walked forward after hearing the words and stood in front of the master.

The old man took out a measuring tape and roughly measured various parts of Chen Yi's body, exclaiming in his mouth, "...Your figure is really perfect, and your temperament is even more unique."(Read more @ mtlarchive.com)

"...Young people don't think that I am complimenting you. I have seen many celebrities and politicians in my life, but there are really very few who have your outstanding temperament, especially when you are so young, it is especially rare."

‘Can’t it be unique? This is a system product, and it must be a boutique product. ’

Chen Yi was slanderous, but he was humble again and again.

The moment he met Chen Yi, Master Zhou actually had a customized plan in his mind, but in business negotiations, even if the plan in his mind is perfect, such customized clothes also require the choice and consent of the guests.

Without saying a word, Master Zhou directly took out various fabrics and introduced: "...This is Merino wool. This kind of sheep grows in Australia and New Zealand. The wool fiber is long and thin, which is ideal for spinning high yarn. Fabric."

"...This is small cashmere, the finest of cashmere. It is produced from small goats several months old. On average, each small goat can only produce 30-50 grams of small cashmere. The degree of preciousness can be imagined."

"...And this is Peruvian alpaca wool, which grows in the Andes Mountains. Nowadays, the quantity is extremely scarce. It can be said to be more expensive than gold!"

"All of our Brioni fabrics are from Guabello, so you can rest assured in terms of quality."

The master knew that Chen Ying did not understand suits, so he introduced him in detail.

This also made Chen Yi very addicted and learned a lot of knowledge.

For example, there are 21 categories of suit fabrics alone, including wool, tropical wool, flannel, mohair, khaki, gabardine, tannin, corduroy, velvet, and so on.

Each kind of fabric can be divided into different grades according to the different animal origin, or the level of craftsmanship.

Some of the fabrics, Chen Yi, have never even heard of it in the past.

Naturally, most of the fabrics of this kind of custom suits are made of very expensive boutiques, but they may not be made of cashmere. In some details, other fabrics are likely to be used, and the workmanship is very complicated.

In addition to fabrics for guests to choose, suits also have many subdivisions.

For example, American style, British style, Italian style, each style of suit has its own characteristics, just the collar can be divided into flat collar, spear collar, green fruit collar and so on.

The dazzling objects were placed in front of Chen Yi. When the master opened the wooden box, Chen Yi was even more dizzy.

Hundreds of buttons are placed there, and each one is exquisitely crafted, with different colors and patterns. Whether it is design or material, it is also the top thing.

Then I listened to Master Zhou saying that today is just to communicate and select materials and carry out tailoring.

He will spend a month for cutting. After a month, Chen Yi needs to come and try it on, he will sew it, and then try it on again after half a month, and finally it will be finished with details.

That is to say, it will take almost two months from ordering the suit today to putting it on. In these two months, Chen Yi still needs to try it on twice, which is simply too much trouble.

It's no wonder that Wang doesn't like customization anymore. Except for those who are particularly interested in ritual and quality of clothes, most people may feel too tired.

Looking at these dazzling arrays of things, Chen Yi only felt that his brain hurts, but Xiao Gongju looked at it with relish. It seems that girls like to dress and match.

No wonder ordinary men are custom-made suits, and all kinds of complex and real high-order clothes are prepared for women.

Chen Yi wanted to relax, and simply said: "...It's better to choose these from the master. You have decades of work experience, and you must know what suits me best."

Unexpectedly, this Master Zhou shook his head and smiled: "...If the fashion designer unilaterally tells you how to wear it, can you still feel the connection between yourself and this piece of clothing?"

"... But if you spend time and effort on customizing a suit, this suit represents your style, character and lifestyle."

"It will no longer be related to the trend, but it will only belong to you alone. It is a unique trend that belongs to you alone. This is the meaning of customization!"

"As a tailor, the only thing I have to do is to perfectly blend your favorites and choices, and make sure that this piece of clothing best suits your personally chosen personality and temperament. ."

When Chen Yi heard it, the whole person was in awe. Customizing a piece of clothing, you said so tall, do I have to have a bond with this piece of clothing? Do I have to tolerate and trust each other with my clothes?

Chen Yi complained, but he knew that this is the sense of ritual, this is the real customization, it is the design, it is the meaning of the survival of these tailors, and it is also the complicated thing of the so-called high society.

The sense of ritual in this life is a bit too heavy.

Chen Yi regrets a bit, but it's all here, so let's customize it.

It took almost two hours for Chen Yi to choose all the details according to his own preferences. Master Zhou also recorded them all and made precise measurements for him.

The final cost of this suit is as high as 800,000 yuan. Is it really worth the price? If only in terms of fabrics, it is absolutely impossible to be so expensive, but the premium of the brand and the design and manual costs of the masters are priceless.

Looking at Chen Yi, one head and two big people, Xiao Gong Zuo smiled secretly next to him.

When everything was done, the two people left the shop under the respectful greetings of the mature lady at the door.

Seeing Xiao Gongju's gloating expression, Chen Yi was furious. He didn't return to the Ritz-Carlton. He opened a room at the Peninsula Hotel and pulled Xiao Gongju in.

Laugh, laugh happily, isn't it? I will make you cry soon!
