los ntawm ALEXANDER FURY
Nug Craig Green-British zam tus nyiam lub tswv yim-nws xav li cas txog kev raug sau npe li no, thiab nws wrinkles nws lub qhov ntswg me ntsis thiab grins incredulously. "Peb yeej tsis pib nrog lub tswv yim," nws shrugs. "Nws tsuas yog yam uas xav tias yog." Tej zaum yog vim li cas Green's qhia, thiab nws cov khaub ncaws, resonate heev li nrov. Tsis muaj ntau qhov gumption raug pov tseg thaum nws piav qhia nws cov khaub ncaws: Nws yog txhua yam ntawm cov ntaub thiab cov tswv yim. Thiab Sylvanian Tsev Neeg. Nws hais tias, "Lawv tau tshoov siab tag nrho cov xim thaum pib," nws hais, nrawm ntxiv, ". . . tej zaum kuv yuav tsum tsis txhob hais rau koj. "
Raws li puas tau, cov khaubncaws sab nraud povtseg ntawm cov ntaub ntawv hauv Green's garms tsuas yog sib phim los ntawm cov uas txhua tus neeg saib tau nyeem rau hauv lawv. Tag nrho cov me me no ntxiv mus rau ib qho loj tag nrho. Nws txuas rov qab mus rau qhov xav tias yog: Lub sijhawm no, Green tau xav, hauv cov ntsiab lus paub daws teeb meem, hais txog cov tshiab thiab qub, txog kev pov tseg - nws tau hais txog kev tshem tawm hauv tsev kho mob, uas nws cov khaub ncaws feem ntau zoo ib yam li - piv rau tej yam koj khaws mus ib txhis. Nws hais tias, "Zoo li daim pam," nws hais tias, muab nws txhais tes dav los qhia txog cov paj ntaub intricately embroidered, quilted, ntxuav, thiab rov ntxuav coverlets uas zoo li Linus clutched nyob rau hauv lub Peanuts comic strips.
Cov tswv yim no tau rov ua dua: Ib pob paj yog, hauv Green cov lus, "zoo li daim phuam qub"; silks thiab leathers (thawj zaug Green tau siv los yog) tau ua tiav hnyav, los ntawm tes, ntxuav, thiab rov ntxuav dua, cov xim tsis zoo ntawm cov xim riposte, nws hais tias, rau lub caij nyoog lub kua qaub ci. Los ntawm qhov sib txawv, lwm cov khaub ncaws tau raug khi ruaj khov - mus tas li - tawm tsam lub cev, lossis txiav tawm los ntawm lacing lossis cov nyees khawm tsuas yog ib nrab fastened, zoo li yog ntes tau nyob rau hauv ib pliag ua ntej furling. Qhov kev xav ntawd, ntawm kev siv tsis tau piv rau qhov mus ib txhis, yog ib yam dab tsi zam yog tussling nrog ua ib feem ntawm daim duab loj dua tam sim no. Nws yog vim li cas cov khoom lag luam sib txawv ntawm "fashion" thiab "khoom kim heev," yav dhau los hais txog flibbertigibbet kev kub ntxhov raws caij nyoog, qhov kawg rau cov qauv tsim kom nyob mus ib txhis. Conglomerate CEOs tau tawm tsam los qhwv lawv lub taub hau ib ncig ntawm kev sib haum xeeb ntawm ob qhov kev xav tsis zoo; pom tus tsim qauv ntsuab li ntsuab nailing nws raug ntes.
Xav rov qab mus rau Linus, thiab qhov tseeb rau tag nrho peb cov me nyuam yaus blankies, kuv pab tsis tau tab sis stumble hla txoj kev xav ntawm kev tiv thaiv. Tias yog vim li cas peb khi rau cov khoom seem ntawm daim ntaub, tom qab tag nrho - kom xav tias muaj kev tiv thaiv. Ntsuab qhib nws qhov kev ua yeeb yam nrog lub tsho hazmat-nws hais txog cov khaub ncaws; txheej txheej tailoring; lub pourpoint doublets ntawm medieval knights, khoom rau pad tawm lub convex duab ntawm phaj armor. Ntsuab hu ua cov khoom ntim hauv qab clutched hauv cov qauv txhais tes lossis dangling los ntawm lawv txoj siv sia nws "lub hnab ntim." Nws yog thawj zaug yuav khi lawv nyob ib ncig ntawm nws cov qauv, zoo li yog armoring lawv tawm tsam lub ntiaj teb no.
Nws nyuaj rau txheeb xyuas vim li cas qhov kev sau no zoo li yog, raws li Green hais. Tab sis nws ua tau. Tej zaum nws yog vim hais tias, raws li kev lag luam nyiaj txiag thoob ntiaj teb shudder, dua - $ 2.3 trillion raug tshem tawm lawv lub lim tiam no - peb txhua tus xav kom muaj kev tiv thaiv. Tej zaum Green nws tus kheej xav tias ceev faj, thiab tsis paub tseeb, tus kws tsim qauv hluas uas qhia hauv kev lag luam tsis muaj zog, uas nws lub hauv paus tau hloov pauv thaum peb saib. Tab sis yuav ua li cas prescient nws tsim kev tiv thaiv rau hauv nws sau, vim hais tias Green cov khaub ncaws - nws txuj ci - yog li ntawd. Lawv yog nws cov cuab yeej tiv thaiv lub vagaries ntawm lub ntiaj teb zam. Thiab lawv yog cov tshwj xeeb thiab tshwj xeeb. Tsis xav tau tswv yim.
