MTL - Wall Street Legend-Chapter 29 Clothes make a man
Chapter 29 People depend on clothes
In New York in her previous life, the place where Ye Dongqing stayed the longest was in the lower city of New York. Apart from Chinatown, there is also a Wall Street.
For most of the year, he stays on Wall Street to handle business. No one cares what kind of business he does, as long as he has a large amount of money in his account. It is not easy for Chinese to squeeze into the circle of rich people, but his name It's much easier to own hundreds of millions of dollars in assets.
The atmosphere of affluence in the United States creates an illusion that billionaires are everywhere.
But in fact, until more than ten years later, according to the statistics of the Forbes rich list, there are only more than 500 people with wealth of more than 100 million US dollars.
The real number is higher than this. Considering the phenomenon of hiding assets, it is estimated to be around a thousand people. In addition, there are many low-key rich people who have no money under their names but own invisible assets such as charitable trusts, antiques, and overseas wealth.
Anyway, he was rich then for sure.
Having been on Wall Street for a long time, it is inevitable that you will be contaminated with bad thinking habits. It is strange that you can learn well from a group of "foxes", "hungry wolves", and "rats" day and night.
It is harmful to the Three Views, but I have to admit that when it comes to making money, they are all elites. People often say that sometimes when you focus on something, you may make surprising achievements, but Wall Street people always like to focus on money, so they play tricks on various ways to make money.
Ye Dongqing also belonged to one of them, and she was considered a relatively successful one, at least until she was poisoned and forced to jump off a building.
Old Sam died unexpectedly, and he immediately thought of other ideas for making money. No matter how much Laura asked, he didn't tell her what he was going to do.
Drunk a little more, but still conscious, took a taxi to Fifth Avenue for shopping after dinner.
The roadsides are brightly lit, and high-rise buildings are covered with signboards. More than 5,000 high-rise buildings are crowded on the small Manhattan Island, which makes the local people dislike high-rise buildings. A large group of New Yorkers even sold their properties and went to the Midwest of the United States to buy Farms, ranches, and how they feel about leaving the metropolis, only they know.
There is still some time before the arrival of Black Friday. There are not many roadside vehicles. Except for those who don’t care about money, more consumers are holding back their energy and waiting for the arrival of the discount promotion season. When the time comes, it will be cheaper to buy.
Ye Dongqing will never wait for more than a month for the sake of a few hundred dollars cheaper. There is not much money now, but the concept of consumption is very advanced. In his eyes, money is for spending. Compared with how to save money, he would rather Think about how to make more money.
This is an idea that came about after becoming a rich man. It is difficult for ordinary people without his courage and ability to have the confidence to make a lot of money in the future.
So it’s better to be honest and save money, otherwise individuals and small families will easily fall into bankruptcy when encountering a sudden crisis. Sometimes the truths summed up by the rich are not applicable to ordinary people. The biographies in bookstores are more like successful people showing off their achievements.
Without encountering the vulgar scene of the clerk looking down on people, Ye Dongqing and Laura managed to snag two cups of hot cocoa in the Dior women's clothing store.
There is no shortage of high-end stores on Fifth Avenue, and the competition is relatively high. Considering the income of the upper-middle class in the United States and the strength of the US dollar for more than half a century, the items in these stores are only relatively expensive. Taking the Rolex Submariner series as an example, an average middle-class family can buy one with a monthly income. Compared with a watch that costs thousands of dollars, a set of Dior women’s clothing is cheaper, and the price is generally between several hundred and two thousand dollars.
In developing countries where the currency is worthless, these brands have transformed themselves and successfully become luxury goods that people compete for...
Miss Laura wore a pink sweater under her clothes today, which didn’t match the white lady’s formal attire. The clerk kindly brought a black sweater for her to change into in the fitting room.
Except for the girl named Liuli, Ye Dongqing has never bought clothes for other women, so why bother with something that can be easily solved with money?
Waiting for a woman to change clothes slowly is really not a happy thing for a man. At this moment, he is impatiently thinking about why a set of clothes hasn't come out after wearing it for nearly ten minutes. Wanting to go home and sleep, I finally realized that it was a wrong choice to accompany me to buy clothes. Holding the coffee in my hand, I glanced at the leather bags on the shelves.
Just as most women don’t understand men’s obsession with cars and famous watches, Ye Dongqing also can’t understand why women like bags so much. A few pieces of broken leather and some zippers can be easily sold at a high price, feeling that women’s money is really easy to make.
Hearing the clicking sound of high heels stepping on the ground, he turned his head and looked over.
Laura was wearing a white suit and black high-heeled shoes. The hair tied into a ponytail before was put down. It was naturally curly and wavy, and the amplitude was just right.
Changing clothes, wearing high heels, completely changed her temperament, as if she was a different person, and her age seemed to increase a few years out of thin air. This is exactly the result Ye Dongqing hoped to see, a bit like a white-collar woman.
"The high heels you gave me have a heel of seven centimeters. I haven't worn shoes that high before. These five centimeters are just right." Miss Laura looked down at her feet and said.
"Pretty good, just this suit.
Wear it directly on the body, wrap up the clothes she was wearing before, shoes and sweater too. "
Ye Dongqing said the following sentence to the shopping guide, pointed to a black handbag by the way, and continued: "There is still it, tell me how much it is in total, thank you by swiping the card."
"But I still have another set of clothes, the black one!"
"Don't, you look good in this body, let's just use them. I will pay for it, and it will be deducted from your salary in the future." Afraid that she would change for another ten minutes, Ye Dongqing, a straight man, was impatient to wait, so he interrupted directly.
Just being praised for being good-looking, followed by wage deductions, Laura is extremely short of money now, and is extremely sensitive to such words, and the corners of her eyes twitched.
The clerk next to him suppressed a smile. He didn't understand the complicated relationship between Ye Dongqing and Laura. He thought they were a young couple, but now they seem to be subordinates and bosses.
The POS machine was sent to him, and he asked lightly if he should cut off the hang tag now, and he can return the product if he doesn't cut it, but he can't cut it off. Hearing Ye Dongqing nod her head and say cut it, Laura's idea of wearing it for a few days before returning it was directly swept into the trash can by herself.
The whole set cost more than 2,900 US dollars, mainly on the leather bag. If you want to ask Laura how she feels, it is the first time in her life that she is so valuable, so she must be in a good mood.
It's a pity that I just walked out of the store, and I couldn't be happy immediately.
The clothes are not thick, and a gust of cold wind blows on the body, whether it is the neck or the ankles, it is all chilly, and I can't help sneezing.
Look at Ye Dongqing who was wearing a down jacket, no matter how angry he looked, seeing him walking fast, he quickly followed with three big bags.
Help carry bags? barely friends, impossible...
