[Reading Book] Walking in the World, My Fashion Life

Money may be the whole life of many people, including me. The more you try to get rid of being controlled by money, the more your life is based on money. Money always controls the decision point of life. If you want to go left, money makes you go right.

For the following questions, do you first consider whether you like it or not, or do you think about money?

University:

If you are admitted to your favorite national university or police school, one has to pay tuition fees. Even if it is cheaper than private schools, it is still an expense; the other is that public students do not have to pay tuition and miscellaneous fees, and can also receive scholarships. After graduation, they are guaranteed employment. Salary is at least seventy thousand. Which one do you choose?

look for a job:

There are several jobs in different fields at the same time that you can do and get accepted, one you love but don't pay well, and one that pays well but you know you'll be walking dead soon. Which one do you choose?

Do business:

Those who do not want to be office workers, some choose to spend a sum of money to join and buy a store to work for themselves; some do not join and spend a sum of money to rent a storefront or booth to start a small business, which may be food, clothing, flower shops , bookstores, etc. If you have no business experience, which one do you choose?

The mysterious Miss Gao, a young woman pushing a baby carriage

"Husband, I rented a storefront..."

She just went to a vegetable market to buy vegetables, but gave her husband 4,000 yuan for a month to buy vegetables, and impulsively rented a small shop in Dalong Market in Taipei City. The husband explained all this, what if the husband said he wanted to leave her? What if her husband doesn't agree to ask her to quit the lease?

"Very good! Then you can do it well!" Instead, her husband encouraged her.

Unexpectedly, all kinds of fears, worries and fears that have been bothering me for a long time were solved with just this sentence.

Becoming a wife and young woman, there is always a voice in my heart shouting "What I like..."

Gao Qiuhong, before reading this book, even though she was a heavyweight in Taiwan's fashion industry who was well-known in the selection of successful products, I, who was not in the fashion industry, had absolutely no idea who she was.

When Gao Qiuhong was a child, his father's business background was not bad. His father attached great importance to appearance and always asked his mother to dress her up well before going to school. The clothes she used at home were all good things, which invisibly cultivated her taste in clothes. Later, her father was imprisoned, and the family was in trouble, but she still did not forget her love for beautiful clothes. As soon as she received her first salary of 8,000 yuan, she took it all to buy a dress she liked. After marriage, she pushed a baby carriage, and her biggest interest is still shopping. But there is always a small voice in her heart: I really want to see the outside world~

The proprietress of a small shop in the market has become a well-known Miss Gao in the international fashion industry, relying on her love for fashion rather than trying to make money

One of Gao Qiuhong's achievements in the fashion industry is best demonstrated when she was invited to the Buckingham Palace breakfast meeting of the British royal family. There is a detailed description of this passage in the book. The royal family has a strict security inspection process. There were less than 30 people invited on that day. Only she and a Japanese were oriental faces, and the others were important figures in the fashion industry.

Gao Qiuhong never knew what the store was going to sell until she became the selection store where international brands are vying to enter her boutique. I think the main reason is her love for fashion and persistence in quality. When she was the proprietress of a small shop, her standard of purchasing was very simple: she would like to wear it. When everyone in the market buys the same clothes, and when the price is raised and the customers are allowed to bargain, she uses the selection standard of purchasing only what she likes and insisting on the same price, she just finds a way out of the ordinary in the Dalong market.

When she focuses on her love of fashion, she is not in business, but in noble business; amazingly, the most expensive clothes in her store always sell the fastest, and customers trust her The price, trust her vision, and even let go of what she wears. It is expensive to buy but the customers are very happy.

Fortunately for 40 years, she has fulfilled all her desires for fashion through this career

When Gao Qiuhong went from a small shop in the western market to the establishment of the flagship store of Club Designer Daan Road, she was very grateful for her 40-year career. She was fully satisfied with fashion and taste in her career.....

Custom boots with no budget cap

Gao Qiuhong is a good student of Mel. She has long put the luxury in the book "About Taste" on her must-fail list, and handmade shoes are one of them.

She followed Mel's introduction and came to this John Lobb in Paris. As soon as she entered the door, she directly told the tasteful service specialist: I want to order a pair of black crocodile leather boots. The clerk started a series of service processes that top stores have, all kinds of questions about heel shoe preferences. From skin selection to foot measurement, the process was so long that Miss Gao was so tired that she wanted to find an excuse to escape and went back to the restaurant to rest. When she was finally notified to come to the store to pick up the shoes, a year had passed and the bill was one million.

Most people are probably reluctant to wear such expensive shoes, but since Gao Qiuhong has these shoes, she must find a way to wear them often when she goes abroad to buy them or in winter. After that, she is no longer interested in other boots. When she walked in various fashion capitals, she could feel the envious eyes cast by other women. She felt that this million took good care of her feet and filled her heart.

A small Hermès bag sprayed 40 million

As soon as Gao Qiuhong entered the room, she was immediately fascinated by the dazzling, diamond-encrusted bag from Hermès. After listening to the service commissioner's introduction that it was a mysterious global limited series designed by Pierre Hardy, she turned around and called her. The customer, just said: "You deserve it!" In this way, 40 million customers were sprayed in 5 minutes, but she was very confident that this consumption would definitely exceed this value; at the same time, Hermes was also very considerate to customers and arranged two commissioners Escort this small bag to Hong Kong and hand it over to Miss Gao's client.

After experiencing 40 million bags of experience, Miss Gao's desire for bags has been completely satisfied, and she has not bought Hermes bags for a long time. And this global limited edition of only 12 small bags, after a few years, has also increased to 60 million.

Those who know how to spend money are rich

When Gao Qiuhong's reputation for selected products attracted more and more high-end customers, she saw that all kinds of rich people had different attitudes towards spending money.

Some people buy hundreds of pairs of expensive shoes, but they are reluctant to wear them out, and they always wear cheap shoes on their feet; Some rich people prefer to see their money in the bank.

Her customer who spent 40 million on a small bag was the richest person Gao Qiuhong had ever seen who knew how to spend money. People who know how to spend money can make money more valuable, but spending money is making money.

Don't make money for money, and finally make big money and make dreams

I believe that female friends who read Gao Qiuhong's story will definitely envy her very much. Every year, they can buy fashion clothes in various countries, enjoy shopping and watch shows, and make money because of it. This should be the dream of many women.

The beginning of the story is that Miss Gao chose what she loved and insisted on it.

Going back to the question at the beginning, when faced with difficult choices in life, maybe you can read Gao Qiuhong's story and try to return to the simple original intention.

A book, a glimpse into another fashion world that I have not been able to set foot in

I love all the shocks this book has brought me. The only thing I have in common with Ms. Gao is the beginning of the vegetable market. It's just that I continue to buy vegetables, but she has created an extraordinary life. In the book, you can see the money concept of the rich people spending money; the consumption experience of the top luxury stores; the tasteful journey, the Orient Express in England and the private jet tour of South Africa and so on. For me, the biggest shock came from the author Gao Qiuhong's transition from a young woman pushing a baby carriage to a very influential brand in the fashion industry. It was not a dramatic, but a bland process of success.

A good book, that's it. After closing the book, the words are still jumping in my mind. I continue to recall the story of Gao Qiuhong in my heart, and I have been addicted to it.
