Reporters Visited Dubai For Four Days In Real Life.

Just after watching a foreign movie "127 Hours" last month, the hero in the movie said, "never buy the Chinese made multi-function." Swiss Army knife "It's hard for the Chinese to see the movie embarrassed. When I came to Dubai, one of the richest cities in the world, I found that it was far less powerful than the facts I saw. These prices Low cost The famous Chinese maternity leave brand in the rich countries is also flagrantly worn and sold, and many foreign friends tell me that this is not unusual in many countries in Asia, Africa and America.

The first day:

Fake brand names for foreigners

Mehrdad is a Iran businessman. He buys large batch of fake brand bags from Guangzhou and Shenzhen every month, from China Customs to Dubai port, and then from Dubai to his country for sale. When I met him on a night cruise ship at Dubai port, he did not hide the status of selling fake brand names to Chinese people: "Guangzhou's leather goods city is very large, and the commercial city of Shenzhen Luohu District is also very good. Although I don't speak well in China, the Chinese over there speak English very well, and this kind of business is very good." Mehrdad said that the first time in China, the word "goods" was not understood at all. After seeing it, it was discovered that fake goods could be made so realistic, so large, and the price was so low. So he began to trade between Guangdong and Iran every two or three months, and this kind of business also brought high profits to him: "I have Chinese friends, they teach me to speak Chinese, I can count, one ear, two ears, scattered (three), hissing (four), no (five)......" My friend said that haggle can be used. Foreigners like Mehrdad, who can hardly speak Chinese but shuttle in leather goods cities such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen, are everywhere in China. They do not have to worry about communication problems, because these salesmen in leather goods market can match the professional level eight, and they only need to be strict with goods. Fastidious And try to lower the price.

Mehrdad has a cunning look in her eyes, but has been saying that Chinese people have wisdom: "the Chinese are very smart, everything can be thought out, anything can be produced, and the outfit of my wife comes from China." I looked closely at the HERMES scarf on his beautiful wife's head and the LV purse on her hand. The stitch was dense, the pattern was clear and the material was exquisite, and almost could not see the difference from the real product. He laughed and said, "though it is a fake, no one can walk out in DUBAIMALL, the world's largest shopping mall in Dubai. I have already trained a pair of "eye piercing eyes". The quality of "goods" is different. If the package of RMB one hundred yuan is not good, I will not buy it. Basically, I will consider the purchase of the package which is priced at more than 400 yuan. If they ask for a price of 1000 yuan, I dare say 200 yuan. Is this what you Chinese call it? Chinese are very powerful.

Mehrdad's LV wallet was purchased in Guangzhou for 120 yuan, and a similar wallet in DUBAIMALL would be sold to 3000 yuan, which is still tax-free. Mehrdad would not say how much money he would sell in such a product in Iran, but judging from his pleasant look, the price is definitely not low. {page_break}

Second days:

Don't let Dragon become notoriety

In Dubai, Chinese people are famous for their consumption of famous brands, and the fame of "China" is very famous. A very spectacular DragonMart (Long Cheng) has also become a place where locals recommend tourists. When the car flies on the highway leading to Abu Dhabi from Dubai, in the hinterland of the desert, a long kilometre dragon shaped building will appear in your eyes. The ChinaMarket, built by the Chinese, has more than 4000 Chinese businessmen selling everything from machinery to safety system, from plastic toys to clothing. The driver of India who has driven me has been living in Dubai for 30 years. When he saw DragonMart, he shouted at the sight of "India". "If you go in, you will fall in love with it, because everything there is, if you don't go, you will regret it." He said so to many foreign tourists. He said with a cunning smile, and his eyes were not full of goodwill. He asked again and again: "those things are so amazing that I can't find out where they are inferior to the real ones." What makes you happier is that they are very cheap. "Who will buy things here?" I asked doubtfully. "Oh, miss, we go shopping almost every month. 80% of Dubai's residents are foreigners, and they are equally curious about DragonMart."

When I asked a Chinese DragonMart who worked in Dubai a few days later, she glanced at her lips: "notoriety." That kind of disaffection made me feel this twenty year old girl. awkward And shame: "of course, you can buy Chinese silk, cotton dress and other clothing accessories there, but you can also see the fake brand name blatant. Many foreigners will find it funny that the Chinese are spending money on buying brand-name products in the duty-free shops in Europe and other countries. While watching all kinds of madeinchina's kana cards on their own wholesale markets, they will always ask me why Chinese people produce fake goods and why they want to buy genuine goods. I'm sorry to hear that. Why can counterfeit goods circulate so rampant? But then, when I realized how much of the volume of fake merchandise was, I realized that those people no matter how much energy they need to get them out.

The third day:

Chinese shopping guide in a famous brand store

DUBAIMALL has the flagship store of the world's major luxury brands and high-end clothing brands, and has been favored by consumers around the world for tax exemption. In recent years, because of the heroic spirit of the Chinese people, the attitude towards Chinese customers is also changing slightly. Whenever I enter a famous brand store, the receptionist at the door will say "hello" in Chinese. When I smile to him, he will give me a gentleman's little bow. Whether it is HERMES or CHANEL, PRADA or LV, almost every brand store here has a shopping guide for East Asian faces or a salesperson who can speak Chinese, and the East Asian face shopping guide must be Chinese. "AreyouKorean?" When I saw an oriental face shopping guide in CUCCI store, I didn't think she was like a Chinese. "NO, I 'mChinese" sounds interesting. The two Chinese speak in English in foreign countries, but this scene has become normal in almost a lot of shops. The salesperson had a soft southern accent. He was very enthusiastic when he spoke. "The first two days came to a Chinese tour group. After five or six people came in, they directly asked for the design. After asking the price, almost everyone bought two or three bags, and the time was no more than ten minutes. It was worth almost twenty thousand yuan per person." When I tried the package, the Chinese shopping guide was still in the air: "you won't regret buying it today. This package has to be sold at 9000 yuan in the domestic market, which is only 5500 yuan in Dubai. The two day RMB has gone up again, and you may have to spend hundreds of dollars in the first two days." And this one is one. If you don't want it today, I'm not sure if there's any tomorrow. You know, Chinese socrazy. " At the door, three Chinese tourists walked through the door, carrying a big HERMES bag, crossing the CUCCI store door and directly into the LV store next to it. {page_break}

I also entered the store with them, and stopped watching them not far away. "Can you speak Chinese? Excellent! I'll take that bag and take it down and show it to me. " They are listening to the Guangdong accent loudly asking Chinese salesmen the price of each package. The voice sounds very clear in the quiet shop. "Is this price the duty free price?" "Is there a bigger one?" "Can this shop be maintained if it has been worn?" A series of questions took only a few minutes, and one of them had already taken out his wallet to prepare his credit card. "Sir, please show me your passport. We need to check our identity." The shopping guide said excitedly, because there were not many customers in the LV shop, hundreds of square meters, and a few other foreign shopping guides also gathered around, but obviously they couldn't understand Chinese, which made them suffer a little. So they kept talking about how good and cheap the Chinese shopping guide was to spanlate these bags. Because DUBAIMALL's goods are duty-free, all the designer clothes that are settled are all cheaper than 30% of the domestic brands. Such a Chinese "Hao guest" has become one of the mainstream of consumption in the eyes of international famous brand guides.

Many people have heard that foreigners do not buy famous brands at all. Only the Chinese "old hat" can recognize senior brands and luxury brands, but obviously such a view is a one-sided view. In the country, I see that although all the local men and women are all wrapped up in a long robe, they are wrapped up in a tight wind. But from the shoulders of each woman's shoulders, the signs of LV, HERMES and PRADA, and the symbols of MONTBLANC and ROLEX on the shoulders of men's hands can see that luxury is so common here. Listening to local foreign workers, the clothes and shoes of the local gowns under Dubai are all over 10000 yuan brand names. They only buy famous brands instead of buying different brands, and if you give them a brand that is not high enough, they will immediately throw away or spanfer their servants to the home. It seems that the rich people in any country are crazy about famous brands. In the United Arab Emirates, which is famous for its oil production.

The fourth day:

Those crazy Chinese people in dutyfreeshop

If it is common to see Chinese people buying famous brands in DUBAIMALL, then in the tax-free paradise at Dubai Airport, because China is a spanit point for many countries in Europe, Africa and so on, it brings more Chinese people, crazy from the middle of the night, because there are many flights with Chinese people at this time. At the entrance to the Dubai Airport, there is a huge EsteeLauder billboard standing on it. What surprises people is that it is marked with "Estee Lauder miracle crease Wrinkle Essence" in Chinese, and the smiling beauty on it is like saying "welcome Chinese people to buy".

In dutyfreeshop, famous brand bags, clothes, famous cigarettes, famous liquor and high-grade cosmetics are available. The first terminal and the second terminal building of Dubai Airport are filled with numerous oriental faces and Mandarin dialects in all parts of China. Once there are East Asian people buying large consumer goods, the foreign cashiers here will smile and ask if they are Chinese. If yes, it will be asked whether Hongkong people or Beijing people. In their view, these two place names are already familiar with each other. Not far from the boarding gate, a ticket for carrying Dutyfree shopping bags is being prepared for Chinese boarding.
