Kuai Chuan Teaches You To Be a Man
Chapter 67: The villain of the Republic of China
If he had stood up a year earlier and said that Yu Xia used to sing in Paramount, he might have really made a splash, but now it's too late. The taste and talent that Yu Xia showed made people unable to believe what Jiang Zhongze said, and would only regard him as a shameful rumormonger.
Even if there is a hint that others may believe it, it is not criticism and resistance that follow, but they are poisoned more deeply. She is a legend at a height that no one else can reach.
There are also people who say that the emperors and old sons are all beggars. How old is it, and people are still divided into high and low?
"Yeah yeah."
"Let's not talk about it, let's take a look at the Qian's Jiang's family, how beautiful it was a few years ago? What is it like now?"
"I heard that Mr. Jiang is gone. As for Mr. Jiang, you can't recognize him after seeing it. He is an ugly monster with a pitted face!"
Jiang Zhongze was kicked and beaten for insulting Yu Xia in the street, and the young girl couldn't let go, and she couldn't get angry. He was curled up on the corner of the street in pain, and when he saw him passing by, he hid away, like he was hiding from the plague. On and off, he could hear other people's praise for Yu Xia, as well as the ridicule of Qian Qian and Jiang's family.
Especially their Jiang family, when the Qian family had an accident earlier, they played the game and fell into the trap, and now the retribution is coming. Jiang Zhongze and his former friend were rejected for help. When he denounced him, the other party asked back, "Isn't that what you did to Miss Qian in the first place?" You treat her like this and others treat you the same, what's the problem?
Jiang Zhongze was once confident that the two were completely different.
Yes, it is different.
At that time, the Jiang family and the Qian family could be said to be on the same boat. The relationship was too close. For Jiang Zhongze, Qian Xue was the future wife. What's the point of blaming others when something like this happens?
Besides, he hasn't maintained friendships for a year. Many friends in the circle come together because of interests, but few are heartless. To use the popular saying of later generations, it was originally a plastic brother. You usually don't care, and when you need it, you think of others. Why should they help you? Wiping off your dad's earlier debt is already the greatest kindness, what else are you expecting?
Lend you money to work around? Provide you with start-up capital for a comeback? How can it be?
If Jiang Zhongze is more aggressive after his disfigurement and disfigurement, maybe someone else will put chips on him. He has been depressed for so long, and his ability to resist blows is not good. With this flexibility, how can he make a fortune? No matter how much investment is made, it will be a waste of money. No one’s wealth is blown by the wind. If you have too much money, you would rather squander it yourself.
…
He felt that his cognition was completely subverted overnight. Jiang Zhongze's chest hurt so much that he couldn't care about this face, and he had a thought in his heart: It's over, it's over.
He remembered that he had an uncle, and he planned to go to his uncle. My uncle's business is not very big, and he can always help him. Even if he refuses to come up with a lot of money to support him, he will give him a place to stay, so that he can be fed and clothed.
Jiang Zhongze got up from the ground. He dragged his aching and tired body and walked back. He was about to pack up. Fortunately, he had some silver dollars in his pocket. It was sent to him when he was looking for help from an old friend. Years ago, he was sending beggars, and he didn't look down on him at all, but now he has to rely on this to support his uncle's house.
With the last hope, Jiang Zhongze left the street corner where he had been curled up for a long time. After he left, the tailor who was diagonally opposite the door spread out a person, looked left and right, and said with a sigh of relief: "I'm gone! I'm finally gone! Such a pickled thing Lying there ruined our business!"
If Yu Xia were here, she would definitely recognize that this was the Zhou family's tailor shop, which was rented to her earlier.
After Yu Xia moved out, the house hadn't been rented out for a long time, and the Zhou family's income was in vain. Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou talked about it once because it was a pity, and didn't mention it later. They thought that people like Yu Xia wouldn't always live in a house with old doors and windows, and she would move out sooner or later.
Sister-in-law Chunlin felt a lot of pain, she finally got over the hurdle in her heart and stopped thinking about Yu Xia. My son Dongsheng is older, more lively than before, and it is more difficult to carry. In the blink of an eye, Dongsheng would often cry. She rushed over to take a look and found that she was either bumped or fell. After learning to crawl and walk, the child was more noisy than the period of infancy when he ate and fell asleep.
Chunlin's sister-in-law is not as energy-efficient as Yu Xia, nor is she so good-natured. She is often too busy with things at home, and her son is particularly annoying when he makes trouble.
When she was upset, she heard that Yongfu Department Store had put out a very beautiful dress, designed by Miss Yu, who used to be a consultant there. She also heard that the other party turned out to be a lady from Miaochun Hall in Nan Province. It was lost since childhood, and now I have recognized my ancestors and returned to my ancestors...
When Yu Xia first moved out, the Zhou family would still mention her, but no one mentioned her later. Because when you mention it, you will inevitably think of the silver dollar that flew away with wings. It is originally a person from two worlds. If you don't deliberately ask about it, it is impossible to hear about the other party. Until the advent of haute couture, a trend that swept the surrounding provinces and was talked about by young ladies, let alone tailors.
Many tailors crowded into the department store booth to see what kind of dress could make people boast like that. After seeing it with their own eyes, they started to think. It is not easy to follow the trend and make dresses. It's fine to wear other clothes.
The first one that became popular independently was the bow-tie collar of the early spring series. Yu Xia dressed up like that once, with a slanted bow-knot shirt and a high-waist fishtail skirt with a front slit. She wore this to attend Qiao Yun's afternoon tea party. From here, the bow tie became popular in the southern province.
In fact, it is a very simple design, and it was played out as soon as it became popular, and because it hardly increases the cost, even if the home conditions are not good, it takes a long time to make new clothes, and the cloth is cut to the size. Tailors will require a bow tie, especially the classic black and white, which blooms everywhere in the three provinces under the command of Luo Dashuai.
The bow tie is simple and simple. It is not easy to make the texture and knot beautifully. This kind of shirt has to pursue a shape, it is better to be close to the body, and the waistline has to be closed beautifully... Yu Xia talked about this in his column. This kind of popular element, that issue of the newspaper sold very well, and the people who made the clothes have read it no less than ten times.
The Zhou family followed suit. They practiced over and over with old cloth heads for a long time before they found some tricks. They were willing to work hard and made some money. Aunt Zhou also sighed that she didn't see Yu Xia like this earlier. Big deal.
Sister-in-law Chunlin looked at Dongsheng who was one year older and wore old clothes and could only taste a bite of meat every ten days and a half months. Said: "I said that I wanted to go to the department store to sell things, but she didn't open the back door. Tell me, she knew that our family was a tailor shop, so she still hid these tricks? If she was willing to teach her, We can live a prosperous life long ago, how can we spend so much effort to earn some hard money."
Zhang Tianxiang's dresses were all sold at clearly marked prices, and the prices were frighteningly expensive. Ordinary people would not be able to buy one after working for a few years. Thinking about the profit, Mrs. Chunlin felt distressed.
Only then did she realize that she might have become rich overnight, but she was confused and missed it.
Hearing her talk about it for half a year, Zhou Chunlin was stunned.
Yes, Yu Xia had rented his house and asked his mother-in-law to help him find Xiaohai, but that was for money, and she didn't owe the Zhou family anything. Yu Xia can make money every day because she has the ability, who said she has to recruit the landlord? If you don't make money yourself, do you still blame others who have the ability for not helping you?
"What nonsense are you talking about? Just because she brought these fashions, there are more people buying cloth to make clothes. Not only our family, but also the tailor shops in the city are doing well. They all say that Yu Xia is the God of Wealth..."
"But we could have made more money! Like Zhang Tianxiang, people went crazy with money to ask him to buy more items."
Zhou Chunlin wanted to say something, Yu Xia is not from Zhou's family, and it is her duty to help you, not to help.
Originally, if there was no trouble about introducing a job, and if we stayed friendly for a while, maybe we could cultivate more affection. By then, the Zhou family might really be able to get the hang of it. Who is to blame in the end?
With the personality of my mother-in-law, no one dares to touch it. If she can taste the sweetness, she can rely on you, and she can't get rid of it. No one dares to help those who are dissatisfied and who have made progress like this.
Thinking that Yu Xia is now the young lady of Miao Chun Tang in Nan Province, and they are so far apart that they will never be able to get in touch, Zhou Chunlin is not afraid that the mother-in-law will whisper to her. He persuaded a few words, thinking that there was still a lot of work to do tomorrow, so he didn't pay attention to it, but just made a note in his heart, and pay more attention in the future, so as not to let her teach Dongsheng badly. As a human being, you have to speak your conscience.
Yu Xia actually forgot about the Zhou family. Even though it had only been a year, this year was too fulfilling for her. Unless there is an opportunity, she can't remember the hard days when she came here. To Sister-in-law Chunlin, Yu Xia was the God of Wealth that she had let go of carelessly. To Yu Xia, the Zhou family was just a former neighbor. No matter whether they got along well or not, the page was turned over.
The Zhou family still opened their tailor shop, and the family was a little stumped, but life was still going on. On the other hand, Jiang Zhongze, who was beaten diagonally across from Zhou's tailor shop that day, suffered a lot and finally went to his uncle's house and knocked on the door.
Young Master Jiang, who was once unable to climb high, was regarded as a stinky beggar, so he was told to stay away and not dirty the steps at the door.
Jiang Zhongze said that he was the nephew of the family, and the concierge didn't believe it. He remembered that his aunt's family was indeed defeated, so he spread a word with suspicion. Jiang Zhongze's uncle came out to see it in person, and he was quite frightened after seeing it...
Before the girl came to defect, he asked a few questions and probably knew the situation of the Jiang family.
He knew that his brother-in-law was playing with women, smoking big/cigarettes, gambling, losing all his family property; he also knew that his nephew was depressed... The only thing he didn't expect was that the situation was so serious.
Even if both parents pass away, the elder brother can't leave his sister alone, after all, the other party is exhausted. Mrs. Jiang got married decades ago, but he left her with her mother-in-law and refused to agree. He built a yard next to him, cleaned it up inside and out, took another 200 yuan, and arranged a yard. Grandma took care of it.
Originally, I thought it was okay to have more people, isn't it just a matter of adding clothes to eat? After a few days, he felt that things were not so simple. Even if the family business failed, the girl was still very particular, and she couldn't help spending two hundred yuan in her hands.
When he was worried, Jiang Zhongze came to him.
The uncle was startled at first, but after slowing down, he felt that Jiang Zhongze was not bad. With his own son by his side, a girl who could rely on him would make him less troublesome. He is also going to talk to his nephew. The uncle can borrow a few hundred silver dollars. He has always stayed abroad. With this capital, he can always do something. As long as he can make money, he can afford the life of mother and son. As for the support for a lifetime, which is the only way to support it like this?
Jiang Zhongze heard that his uncle had bought a yard and was willing to lend him money to do business, so he let go of his hanging heart. Hearing his uncle ask about his dad again, he said with red eyes, "My dad is addicted to smoking, and he didn't get through it."
Hearing this, his uncle breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if he doesn't respect the dead, he recognizes it. He really can't afford a brother-in-law who gambles money and smokes big/cigarettes.
Jiang Zhongze changed his place to start his new life, even though his ugly face made him suffer a lot of comments, fortunately, not many people knew him here, and it was not as embarrassing as in Rong Province. He also borrowed 800 silver dollars from his uncle's house and planned to start the business again. Before doing it, he was very confident, thinking that Yu Xia, who was born in Paramount, could portray himself as a big star leading the trend, and she would coax a group of people to pay for it with just a few tosses. Why can't she be?
The clothing industry is the most prosperous right now. Thinking that Yu Xia, who has never been abroad, makes money from this. He has seen Westerners dress up with his own eyes, and he understands better than Yu Xia. There is no reason to lose money.
Jiang Zhongze is crazy poor, and he has not really felt the difficulty of doing business until today, because from the day he can remember, the family has been very prosperous. Going to the next level, it is not difficult to rely on connections and background.
He really can't be called a genius of the sky, and he doesn't have the ability to turn over and get up after a fall. Just like now, he has been blinded by the huge profits, and he doesn't think about why Yu Xia can make money with so many returning from overseas. got this money?
Among the wealthy young ladies in the three provinces of Nanrong Lu who are after Yu Xia, there are many who have seen the world. Not to mention them, even foreigners now know that they have to go to Yongfu Department Store to buy dresses, and Yu Xia's success is almost unrepeatable.
However, it is superfluous to say this. Jiang Zhongze plunged into the clothing industry with eight hundred silver dollars. He learned to run a workshop, entered two foreign machines, bought the materials needed for clothing, and hired workers and tailors. Referring to his experience abroad, he designed the dress himself. It took a lot of time and manpower to make it, but he found that it was no different from what was popular before.
Can't say there's no difference at all-
In terms of fabrics, his fabrics are not as advanced as others; in terms of colors, they are not as pure as others; in terms of craftsmanship, they are not as proficient as others; the handling of details is also very rough... or it should be said that it reveals a new entrant's jerky and inexperienced.
If Yu Xia knew what Jiang Zhongze had done, he would really applaud his courage. To tell the truth, if it wasn't for the backing of Yongfu Department Store, the financial support of the Zhang family, and the hiring of professional people to do professional work, and only relying on her, no matter how good the drawings are, it will not be implemented. .
Jiang Zhongze is not just a matter of implementation. His design is very subjective. He uses colors and elements that fit his own aesthetic to piece together a failed work that challenges the nerves of the young ladies. After the thing came out, everyone else was desperate. He didn't give up completely, and said that the dress is always flawed. You have to put it on to get that feeling.
He asked someone to try it on, and after putting on his body, the workers who operated the foreign machines and the tailors who were in charge of the details all felt that he understood the smell that the owner was talking about. Isn't his mother the smell of shit?
It looked ordinary just now, but wearing it was a disaster.
Messy designs, horrible color schemes, and a bloated feeling to wear.
The dresses sold by Yongfu can make you look very thin, several degrees! Yu Xia fully understands the troubles of women, and knows which parts of the flesh they want to cover... Jiang Zhongze is different, he is a straight man, and when designing, the people who wear it by default are model-like. With a slender and good figure, I never thought that customers are not perfect.
To make people willing to pay, you have to make imperfect women feel dazzling after wearing this dress, which is the magic of the designer.
Jiang Zhongze's skirt...is a disaster.
To make something like this, he was confident that he could replicate Yu Xia's success. He was really courageous.
After seeing the effect, the tailor wanted to die, and suggested in a low voice: Do you want to start all over again? This doesn't work.
Jiang Zhongze also felt that it was not right. He checked his own design again. Every detail was what he liked, and there was no problem. Where is the problem? He hadn't slept all night, and he kept thinking. When the sky was getting brighter, he finally realized that there was something wrong with the person trying on him, and his temperament was wrong.
After he found the answer, he was still worried, so he took the skirt home and asked her mother to slap her.
Before the fall of the Jiang family, Mrs. Jiang lived a luxurious life. She had seen too many jewelry and dresses. Even if she couldn't design them, she would appreciate them and see if they could make money. Mrs. Jiang was ready and wanted to give her son some advice, hoping that he could revise things better. However, after seeing the dress, she almost carried it on her back, and the feeling was suffocation in one word.
"This is the sample you made?"
"I don't want garbage like this, who are you planning to sell it to?"
"If it used to be, if you make a loss, you will be accumulating experience, and it's nothing to lose a few hundred or thousands. Now you're doing it like this?"
"Why didn't you show me the blueprint earlier? That's it, how much did you lose? Say, how much did you lose?"
…
Jiang Zhongze's first attempt after falling out of the way at home failed. This time the work was not published at all, and was eliminated by Mrs. Jiang in a small workshop.
After that, he honestly redesigned the design, and showed Mrs. Jiang the draft for the first time. After intense discussions, the mother and son finally revised a work that both parties were satisfied with. This time things are not as scary as before, and they don't look good when they are put on, but they are quite satisfactory.
His uncle looked anxious, and said that if he couldn't do it well, he would change his career, and change to a more secure one. Jiang Zhongze thought for a while, but did not agree.
He remembered that the late Mr. Jiang said that he must persevere in whatever he does. Failure is not scary, but I am afraid that I will give up immediately if I fail to succeed, and I will change careers all day long, and in the end nothing will be accomplished.
It's rare that he listened to these words, and since then he has gone further and further on the road of no return.
At the beginning, it was the uncle who sincerely wanted to help this disfigured nephew. Later, there were more troubles and more money, and the family love was quickly worn down. His family always broke out because of the Jiang family's mother and son's quarrels, and they were completely overwhelmed for them.
From caring to indifference is two or three years.
Jiang Zhongze's aunt was annoying his aunt's family. As for his uncle, he started to see him behind closed doors after three years. Even if he saw him, he advised him to be down-to-earth. Since it's not a business material, don't bother. When you have money, failure is success. Damn, every time you lose money when you have no money, it can kill you.
Jiang Zhongze wanted to turn over in his dreams, but he couldn't listen to the persuasion, but he had no capital, so he asked a friend he knew after moving in to borrow money.
Borrowing this amount of money is not enough, and he wants money to make money.
A few years ago, Jiang Zhongze once questioned his father, why did he want to touch the big/cigarette? Why go gamble? It didn't take long for him to follow in his footsteps. In order to make money, he entered the casino. He originally thought of trying it out to see if he had luck in gambling. As a result, he kept making money for half a day, how to buy and how to make money. He felt that it was time to make a fortune. Lost everything.
After the export, he was still awake, so he borrowed money from someone and wanted to turn over. What happened? When he walked out, he had nothing left, and he still owed a debt.
The creditor urged him to repay the money as if he was urging his life, and if he didn't pay, he would chop his fingers and chop his hands. Jiang Zhongze went to his uncle again and said that for the last time, let his uncle help. When my uncle looked at his nephew again, he couldn't feel distressed at all. He heard that Jiang Zhongze was at the door, he waved his hand and said nothing, without waiting for the housekeeper to finish his speech.
The left and right are either borrowing money or borrowing money under the card of family affection. Every time they say there is no problem, they are very sure. It turns out that he has not inherited his father's talent for business at all.
It may also be that the Jiang family lost without learning anything...
The housekeeper sent two messages that day, his uncle didn't see anyone, and the uncle should sober up thinking about making him suffer a bit. As a result, he received bad news within two days. Jiang Zhongze was pressed too quickly by the debt collectors.
Hearing that he committed suicide in a desperate situation, my uncle was suspicious. He felt that this tossing nephew was not someone who would kill himself.
Although he was suspicious, he didn't go into it, and he felt relieved sitting on the edge of the bed that night. That is, thinking of the heroic nephew a few years ago, I felt a little dazed.
At that time, the Jiang family really looked forward to wealthy families and lived a luxurious life that everyone envied. Even today, my uncle still can't believe it. How could they live like this?
My sister said it was because of Qian Xue.
The nephew said it was because of Yu Xia.
In short, I provoke the wrong two women...
The experience of the past few years is like a big dream.
It's not only the uncle who thinks this way, Jiang Zhongze also thinks this way. He can't live on like this anymore. He is very tired and wants to sleep, thinking that he can go back to the past when he wakes up.
If he could really go back five years...even seven or eight years ago, he would never go to Paramount, he would never meet Nightingale, he would never compete with that wicked woman, he would never get engaged to Qian Xue, and he would never put his hopes on it. Back to his dad to live a dashing life.
Anyone can trick him, cause him to drag him down, give him a chance, and definitely learn the way in the business field. Before his father is obsessed with women and big / smoke, he will be arrogant, and the power will be in his own hands.
Jiang Zhongze regrets it. Thinking about the life of the eldest young master in the past, he regrets it. He once thought that the wealth of the Jiang family would allow him to live a life of grace. Looking back, he was wrong.
Before going to Anle Township, Jiang Zhongze thought a lot. He learned all the lessons he had learned over the years, listed a long list of things to remember and cannot, reminded himself repeatedly, and then closed his eyes, ending the half-life that was as wonderful as a drama.
