VIP Class Notes (Tibo)

Recently I with my friends have some competition about Fifa one week once.

And the champion has a prize , a milk tea .
It is very fun, we are 5.

I choose every milk tea I try it but I choose most milk tea like tea with cheese on top and fresh juice.
Chinese people like trendy things , customers like famous things so they wait for a long time.
These shoes official price is ok, but like AJ many Chinese people buy that aren’t official price, add official price so much because it is a sensation / it is trendy.

PS5 is hard to buy and more than the MSRP.

Some fakes they don’t tell you it is fake and sell the normal price they can get more money and people like you don’t think it can be fake.
so in China if you want to buy famous brands you should to official shop.

Maybe some people go to shop and buy official price and then add price to sell online.

If I buy luxury goods  online I choose the official shop. If no official shop it may be fake.
I prefer taobao more.

I want to try but if only me I don’t want to try. If I have a friend we can go together it is fun.

it is the 3rd wave of milk tea . the first wave was Taiwan milk tea, it was popular in 1990s so it started to be popular in Japan at this time.
And then maybe in the 2000s milk tea wasn’t popular in Japan. and then recently the 3rd wave is coming and it is popular.

At that time I think I feel it is very expensive, it was CNY5 a cup in 1995.
I am a student so expensive and that time Chinese people average salary was low.

before our economy aren’t very huge but now we are the second economy in the world

Recently I have Fifa competition with my friends once a week
And the champion has/wins a prize , a glass of milk tea .
It is very fun, we are 5.

I have tried many milk tea brands and kinds I usually choose milk tea with cheese on top and fresh juice.
Chinese people like trendy things , customers like famous things so they wait for a long time.
These shoes official price is ok / the MSRP is ok, but like AJ many Chinese people buy the shoes above  the official price / above MSRP.

resellers add a big premium because it is a sensation / it is trendy.

PS5 is hard to buy and it is  more than the MSRP./ the price is above the MSRP.

Maybe some people go to the shop and buy at the official price and then add a premium to sell online.

If I buy luxury goods online I choose the official shop. If there is no official shop it may be fake.
I prefer Taobao.

for some fakes they don’t tell you it is fake and sell at the normal price this way they can get more money and people like you don’t think it can be fake. / they sell fake goods at the normal price and deceive you.
so in China if you want to buy famous brands you should buy from the official shop.  / you should go to the official shop.

I never buy famous goods online to avoid fakes and normal goods don’t have fakes.

the World Cup and the European cup are 2 years apart

Japan has very little fakes.
And Japanese people buy goods if they use online they often use amazon.
So maybe normal sellers they sell fake goods.
technology goods they can’t fake like the real one. We can find.
Normal goods we can’t see the difference

there are many Chinese people who open milk tea shops in Japan.
Once I went to Japan and my friend took me to a milk tea shop and the milk tea shop boss was Chinese and the staff was Chinese too.

I want to try but if it’s only me / if I go alone I don’t want to try. If I have a friend we can go together it is fun. / I only want to try with a friend

it is the 3rd wave of milk tea .
The first wave was Taiwanese milk tea, it was popular in the 1990s so it started to be popular in Japan at this time.
And then maybe in the 2000s milk tea wasn’t popular in Japan. and then recently the 3rd wave came and it is popular again.

At that time I think I felt it was very expensive, it was CNY5 a cup in 1995.
I was a student so it was expensive for me and at that time Chinese people average salary was low.
before our economy wasn’t huge but now we are the second economy in the world.
