The place Zhou Wang wants to go is much easier to find than Wang Ying imagined.
Although the house numbers in all places in Beidu are very accurate, this city is too big after all. Wang Ying was also worried that she would lead Zhou Wang to the wrong place, which would be a bit embarrassing...
Fortunately, when Wang Ying and Cindy took Zhou Wang together, they When Zhou Wang and the two arrived at their destination, they saw the huge house number at a glance.
The house number, which is set off by an entire decorative wall, is conspicuous and reveals an inexplicable style.
Going around the door wall, there is a large flat lawn. At the end of the lawn, there is a row of two-story buildings.
This is the Patek Philippe Mansion located near the end of the Beidu Grand Square. It is so low-key in the core location. If you hadn't searched specifically and just passed by, I'm afraid no one would know that this place sells watches.
There are only two Patek Philippe stores like this in the whole of China, and the other one is located on the Bund in Shanghai.
"Is this here? Zhou Wang, what kind of place is this?"
Wang Ying and Cindy took a look, and then Wang Ying asked curiously.
"I guess so. You'll know when you walk in."
Zhou Wang took Jiang Mo's hand and walked through the corridor next to the lawn towards the two-story building. Wang Ying and Cindy looked at each other and still couldn't hold back. Out of curiosity, we followed him.
When he came closer and saw the logo on the door wall, Zhou Wang confirmed that he had found the right place.
The cross star and the sword are pieced together to form a snowflake that contains love and sharpness. If you don't see this logo, the small building in front of you is more like some kind of European-style residence. Compared with the Rolex store in the downtown area of Wangfujing, They are two completely different styles.
When you come to the first building on the right, you open the door and walk in. The scene that greets you is not the same as that of a traditional watch shop. Art paintings are hung on the walls. The reception hall is on the left and the front desk is on the right. You can't see anything. Cabinet with clocks.
The young lady in formal attire at the front desk walked over quickly and asked with a smile: "Hello, do you guys have any reservations?"
Generally, you need to call in advance or make a reservation on the WeChat applet to go to the store, but Zhou Wang didn't know that This process, upon hearing this, he just shook his head and smiled:
"There is no reservation, but I should have a reserved watch that has arrived..."
The reason why Zhou Wang suddenly turned around to buy a watch was because he was reminded by Wang Feiyu's words, and he suddenly thought When I got up, I still had a Patek Philippe watch that I hadn't picked up yet.
This watch came from the rewards issued by the system when he took up his job in Hangzhou. After the gift package was upgraded, he gave Zhou Wang a Patek Philippe and a Richard Mille.
After the interactive reality was successful, Patek Philippe was delivered to the store in Beidu, and Richard Mille was delivered to the store in Shanghai. Xu Wenqian could pick up the watch in Shanghai, but Zhou Wang could only pick up the watch in Shanghai.
Zhou Wang had almost forgotten about this incident, but suddenly he remembered that the Patek Philippe store happened to be nearby, so this happened.
When she finally understood what Zhou Wang was here to buy, Wang Ying said "fuck". When others were surprised, she quickly covered her mouth, said "I'm sorry", and turned away Cindy, who looked confused. Pulled aside.
"Patek Philippe..."
"What?"
Cindy was a little confused.
"Didn't Wang Feiyu just say that Rolex is not the king of watches? There is another brand on it, called Patek Philippe. No wonder these words sound so familiar to me. I just remembered it now!"
Wang Ying explained hurriedly.
"Then...then this Patek Philippe shouldn't be cheaper than the Rolex Wang Feiyu and the others bought, right?"
Cindy said in a daze: "It's not that the watch Zhou Wang wears only costs 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. He...he can also afford such an expensive watch.
"I don't know either ."
Wang Ying pursed her lips, "But if Zhou Wang can really buy a watch worth hundreds of thousands, it would make me look stupid..." "Why don't you know
?"
What did I just say to him? Hey, forget it...see it later."
Wang Ying took Cindy back again.
At this time, as Zhou Wang handed over his ID card, the young lady who had checked it at the front desk hurriedly walked back in high heels. After returning Zhou Wang's ID card with both hands, she said respectfully:
"Mr. Zhou , please wait a moment, our manager..."
Before the young lady could finish her words, with the sound of "ding", an uncle in a suit and leather shoes, with a high-end suit and wristbands, walked out of the elevator coming down from the second floor. Wang Ying and Cindy suddenly became constrained by the shining watches they wore.
However, this uncle who they thought belonged to the wealthy class quickly walked up to Zhou Wang, bowed slightly, and enthusiastically held Zhou Wang's hand:
"Mr. Zhou, long time no see, how are you doing lately?"
Long time no see?
Zhou Wang was startled, and then he remembered the memory fragment in [No. 006], where he was wearing a Patek Philippe minute repeater watch...
After thinking deeply, Zhou Wang smiled calmly: "It's okay. Thank you."
"Mr. Zhou, please... Weiwei, ask Anna to come to the VIP room to make tea."
Amid the manager's greeting, he led Zhou Wang and the others through the reception hall and came to the back. of a room.
The decoration of this room is even more gorgeous, with a round table and a soft couch in the middle. In addition to the decorative art paintings, there are also picture albums with different covers hanging on the surrounding walls. On each album, there is a Different Patek Philippe watches.
Minute repeaters, complex timing, pocket watches, starry sky, rare craftsmanship...
all the Patek Philippe watches you know and don't know can be found here.
The manager invited everyone to sit down, and then a tall foreign girl with long blond hair came in. She skillfully helped everyone make tea. While sitting on her knees, she spoke fluently to Zhou in English. Wang said hello.
Zhou Wang always felt that the way this pretty foreign girl looked at him had a different meaning, or it might be Zhou Wang's illusion. After all, foreign girls are generally bold, and charm and enthusiasm are very common qualities among them.
Zhou Wang subconsciously replied a few sentences in English. As soon as the words came out, he realized that his speaking level had improved by leaps and bounds...
This could be seen from the slightly shocked expression on Jiang Modu's side.
"By the way, Mr. Zhou, I didn't get a reply from you before I sent you an email. Before Mr. Tristan returned to China, he told me that if I see you, please be sure to express my gratitude to you again. Thanks to your help last time, we The event in Beidu was so successful..."
Zhou Wang didn't know who Mr. Tristan was, but he guessed that he was an executive of Patek Philippe or a family member, but he captured other information from the manager's words.
"Last time?"
Zhou Wang smiled and asked, "I'm sorry, my memory may be a little confused. What activity are you talking about?"
Until now, Zhou Wang didn't know the name of this manager. It would definitely be inappropriate to ask rashly. After all, he knew him. My own, I can only secretly complain about why you don't learn from the managers of other stores and hang a nameplate on your chest or something. Why are you doing something so high-level when you have nothing to do...
The manager was stunned, but didn't think much about it, and just subconsciously replied : "At the end of May this year, Patek Philippe held its 10th anniversary event at Yuandi in Beidu. It was also because of the many rare watches you provided us that the event caused a greater sensation..."
Huh?
You guys are the ones selling watches. How come I am providing you with rare watches?
Zhou Wang didn't understand it at first, but he soon understood it.
Patek Philippe has produced countless watches in its history, and many of them are limited editions. There are also many watches with less than ten pieces issued. They even have "orphans" that only produce one every year.
As these watches are sold one after another, aren't they even able to take them out...
the event at the end of May?
I got the system at the end of June.
If you think about it this way, it means that maybe when Patek Philippe holds an event, it is the end of its "lost memory".
"Did I come then?"
Thinking this, Zhou Wang asked.
"Uh... yes, you showed up briefly at the party, and then left again soon."
Sure enough...
after getting confirmation from the manager's words, Zhou Wang couldn't help but be a little stunned.
The last memory he obtained was only [No. 006], but the time was more than a year ago. Judging from the span, he still needs to collect too many "memory gears".
Hey, wait!
Zhou Wang suddenly realized something was wrong. If he said that, he should have a lot of Patek Philippe watches.
Where is my watch?
"Ahem, so the watch I sponsored for your exhibition was taken away by me later?"
"We followed your instructions and sent the watch back to its original address..."
"What original address?"
"I didn't do that. I have an impression. You have to look for the receipt at that time to find out."
While Zhou Wang was talking to the manager, Wang Ying and Cindy kept looking at each other except for Jiang Mo, whose expression remained unchanged.
In fact, they didn't understand anything, but it didn't stop them from becoming restrained from the moment they entered the room. They always felt that Zhou Wang's posture didn't look like he was here specifically to buy watches...
They may not know Patek Philippe's system, but from then on It can also be seen from the manager's attitude towards Zhou Wang and the information revealed in his words. Zhou Wang seems to have a high status in this brand, and he even needs Zhou Wang's help when they organize events.
So, what is the origin of Momo's boyfriend...
When they first met, Wang Ying thought she had a preliminary understanding of Zhou Wang, but then she realized that she actually didn't know anything.
At Zhou Wang's request, the manager asked Anna to find the reply slip that was mailed at that time. He himself smiled and said to Zhou Wang: "Mr. Zhou, thank you for your continued support of Patek Philippe. The Starry Sky 6104R you ordered was indeed shipped last week. It has arrived at our store. Do you think I am going to get it for you now?"
Because the reward given by the system is a random one, Zhou Wang actually doesn't know what he ordered. In short, it is whatever the other party says...
"Okay, Go get it."
After the manager also left, Zhou Wang walked to the wall and quickly found the album corresponding to the "Starry Sky" series. After flipping through it, he couldn't help but understand.
Not bad, this is definitely not the most expensive watch from Patek Philippe, but it is not the cheap one either. In fact, in the public sense, this series has become the "graduate model" of Patek Philippe in the minds of many people.
Wang Ying opened her mouth, actually wanting to ask Zhou Wang, but at this time, because of the inexplicable mysterious aura blessing, Zhou Wang's back suddenly became taller in her eyes, and she couldn't ask, or maybe she couldn't ask. Don't know what to ask.
Soon, the manager holding a tray turned back first.
On the tray is Patek Philippe's unique watch box, which is about 20 centimeters long and wide. It is handmade from Nordic walnut and black piano lacquer. It is just a watch box, and it already exudes a heavy weight like a work of art.
When the manager put down the watch box, opened the lid, and revealed Zhou Wang's watch, the eyes of several girls were immediately attracted.
The starry sky dial is carved in rose gold and surrounded by a circle of square diamonds. Its appearance may not necessarily capture everyone's aesthetics, but its sense of luxury can undoubtedly hit anyone's heart.
After the gloved manager disassembled the watch from the box, he respectfully handed it to Zhou Wang:
"Mr. Zhou, this is the Patek Philippe Super Complex Function Chronograph Series 6104R-001 you ordered. It is also a model of our Patek Philippe formal watches. Please accept it in person..."
Zhou Wang untied his IWC, took the heavy "Starry Sky Watch" with a 44mm dial, and then put it on his wrist to try it out.
In fact, this watch is not very in line with Zhou Wang's aesthetics, but I don't know if it is a psychological effect. After looking around, it gradually became more pleasing to the eye, and even looked better and better...
"Mr. Zhou, what I also need to tell you is that because Due to exchange rate fluctuations, after you place your order, the current domestic price of 6104R-001 has dropped by about 18,000 yuan. This price difference also exists in Hong Kong Island and other regions, but please believe that this is not our original intention
at this time . , the manager bowed deeply to Zhou Wang again and said solemnly.
Zhou Wang was stunned and asked out of curiosity, "What is the current public price?"
When Zhou Wang asked, Wang Ying and Cindy on the side pricked up their ears at the same time.
They had just heard the words "price difference of 18,000", and coupled with the style of Patek Philippe's mansion here, they already had a hunch that this watch must be very expensive...
but how expensive is it specifically?
One hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand? Three hundred thousand?
The two girls were exhausting their imaginations while subconsciously holding their breath.
At this time, the manager smiled and replied: "The latest official selling price of 6104R-001 in China is RMB 4,064,000..."
"Ah!"
Cindy exclaimed next to her, causing the manager to look at her strangely. She quickly covered her mouth. Wang Ying on the side seemed expressionless, but she had already pinched Cindy's hand tightly. In fact, half of Cindy's exclamation just now was caused by her pinching with too much force...
She knew that even though she had covered it up in time, the way she gritted her teeth must still look stupid.
4 million!
In fact, although Wang Ying's family background is relatively ordinary, she grew up in a big city like Tianjin. You can occasionally see some luxury goods in your circle of friends, but they are basically clothes, cosmetics and the like.
A watch costs 4 million, which is equivalent to a house that an ordinary person would have to struggle for a lifetime, and it is equivalent to what she imagines her income will be in the best 20 years in the future.
And she was able to summarize a very important piece of information from the previous conversation between the manager and Zhou Wang... that is, Zhou Wang owns more than just one Patek Philippe.
Oh my God...
Cindy on the side is not much better. She grew up in a simple environment in Xinjiang Province. This is the first time she has experienced such a direct impact of money since coming to Beidu.
That kind of shock made Cindy suddenly understand why several senior students she knew from Xinjiang Province had vowed before leaving that they would marry back in the future, but in the end they all violated tradition and there was no news.
Glancing at Zhou Wang, Cindy's cheeks turned red inexplicably, and she quickly lowered her head in confusion.
She quietly touched her hands behind her back, trying to quickly untie her Hello Kitty little mother-of-pearl watch that she bought for 200 yuan...
The manager's good self-cultivation prevented him from paying attention to the little moves of the two girls. Continuing to maintain a confident posture, he smiled and said to Zhou Wang:
"Of course, as far as I know, the market price of 6104R-001 in the secondary market is close to 5 million. In addition, the public price of 6104R-001 half a year ago was only 340. Wan, I think you understand this very well, Mr. Zhou... We at Patek Philippe will always be on the road to increasing value, ensuring that any transaction you make with us is a successful investment. " "Of course I understand this," said Zhou
.
Wang smiled and said, after all, Patek Philippe's slogan is "No one can really own Patek Philippe, they just keep it for the next generation." From the perspective of value preservation, Patek Philippe outperforms all brands.
After checking the meter, Zhou Wang readily signed the delivery form, and the smile on the manager's face became brighter.
Although the money had been paid before, the transaction was not officially completed until this moment. Commissions and other matters were trivial matters. The key was that he showed his face in front of a top customer like Zhou Wang, which was very important for him at Patek Philippe. development has great benefits.
At this time, Anna walked back on her long legs and showed the previous mailing receipt to Zhou Wang for review.
After Zhou Wang glanced at it, he couldn't help but frown.
Judging from the list, in order to sponsor the tenth anniversary exhibition of Beidu Yuandi, he actually took out seven different Patek Philippe limited editions. After the exhibition, these watches were sent abroad...
Look at that European country The address of the manor, Zhou Wang already understood something.
Could this be that Caroline's residence?
Well, it seems that the system didn't give him any loopholes to take advantage of. Although those watches belong to him, he still can't get them now.
For example, until now, he doesn't know how to contact his nominal first secretary.
Shaking his head, Zhou Wang silently wrote down the address of the manor and returned the receipt to Anna. After thinking about it, Zhou Wang said to the manager:
"You should still have some watches in stock here, right? Picture album? Bring it to me."
The manager didn't ask any further questions. After confirming that Zhou Wang had no standards for "price", he turned around and got the picture album.
No, Zhou Wang still wants to buy it?
While Zhou Wang was flipping through the album, Wang Ying and Cindy both complained crazily in their hearts. A four-million-dollar watch can't satisfy your appetite...
But of course they had no right to interfere with Zhou Wang. They just took a glance at it. Jiang Mo, who was sitting quietly next to Zhou Wang, suddenly understood why they were a couple.
Zhou Wang's outstanding performance was enough to match Jiang Mo's beauty.
"Are you sure this 7118/1450G platinum and diamond model is in stock?"
In fact, there were not many choices in the album. Zhou Wang quickly locked on a watch and asked uncertainly.
He actually didn't know much about Patek Philippe, but he also knew how high the purchase threshold for Patek Philippe was. Judging from the appearance of this 7118, Zhou Wang could guess that it must be a popular watch, so he asked. One sentence.
"Mr. Zhou, what you are browsing is our internal atlas. With your authority level, as long as the watches shown in the atlas are in stock, you don't have to worry about whether they are in stock."
The manager replied with a smile.
"Okay, let's take this 7118/1450G. Bring it to me in stock and take a look... By the way, take this 5067A-024 too."
Before Anna and the manager left together, Zhou Wang stopped them and added.
After a while, the two people holding the watch boxes each turned back, placed the watch boxes of the same style on the table, and then opened them carefully.
When they saw these two watches, Wang Ying and Cindy realized that Zhou Wang wanted to buy Jiang Moye a watch... because these two watches were obviously women's models.
(The picture on the left shows the Patek Philippe 7118/1450G diamond-encrusted Gypsophila, and the picture on the right shows the Patek Philippe 5067A-024 female grenade)
Sure enough, when Anna carefully handed over the watch, Zhou Wang did not pick it up, but just gestured to Jiang Mo. .
After Jiang Mo was startled, he took the diamond-encrusted watch under Anna's envious eyes and put it in his palm to look at it.
"7118/1450G comes from Patek Philippe's extremely classic Nautilus series, also known as the graduation model. It uses a rare 'snowflake inlay' process to incorporate a total of 2553 brilliant-cut top Weselton flawless diamonds... ..."
The manager explained carefully from the side.
Zhou Wang didn't listen much to that, but after Jiang Mo took a look at it, he took the watch and helped Jiang Mo put it on her delicate wrist.
Immediately, Zhou Wang raised his senior sister's hand and exclaimed.
White jade is flawless and complement each other.
These eight words popped into Zhou Wang's mind, and he suddenly had the idea to say something to Senior...
"Senior, do you like it?"
Out of respect, Zhou Wang asked after putting down Jiang Mo's wrist.
"Yeah... I like it."
Jiang Mo glanced at Zhou Wang and nodded lightly.
People are very contradictory.
She was once at the end of her rope, and when she could only survive on bread and water, she missed her rich life so much.
But when all of this broke into Zhou Wang's life and became readily available, she suddenly realized that she didn't care about it so much anymore...
In the past, because she cared about it, she would often complain about Zhou Wang's presence. She felt uneasy about spending so much money on her, but now that she doesn't care, she can accept it more calmly.
She didn't know if she liked this watch, but she noticed Zhou Wang's strange look mixed with desire. She must have liked it, so Jiang Mo felt that she liked it too.
Zhou Wang paid attention to the expressions of Wang Ying and Cindy again, and when he saw their eyes shining, he knew that this was the right choice.
He thought for a while, picked up 5067A-024 in another watch box, and asked the two girls: "Do you think this watch looks good?"
"Uh, it's also very good..."
"Yeah!"
Wang Yinghe Cindy didn't expect Zhou Wang to suddenly ask for their opinions, but they didn't dare to comment on things at this level, so they could only nod their heads subconsciously.
Of course, objectively speaking, the appearance of this piece of 5076A is indeed good. Although it does not have as many diamonds as 7118, it looks very versatile at first glance.
Wearing a small skirt and this watch, she wouldn't be much different from a real princess...
Wang Ying thought silently.
Zhou Wang also saw that asking them was a bit redundant, so he turned to the manager and smiled:
"Okay, I want these two watches. You can go and place an order... By the way, I want two of these 5067A. Do you have them?" "
There is 5067A, but this is the only one left for 7118."
The manager nodded and smiled, "Mr. Zhou, although you didn't ask, I still have an obligation to inform you before placing an order. 7118/1450G is currently available." The domestic price is RMB 2,825,000, and the domestic price of 5067A-024 is RMB 121,500. If you think there is no problem..."
"No problem, place the order."
Zhou Wang nodded to express his understanding.
Although these millions are what he actually needs to spend and are not within the scope of the system's rewards, they can be used as [Desire Spending Funds], so Zhou Wang doesn't feel any pressure.
"Cindy, at this moment, I actually feel that a 120,000-yuan watch is not expensive at all..."
Wang Ying and Cindy bit their ears, their original intention was to relieve their inner uneasiness by joking, but who knew that Cindy But there was no reaction.
When Wang Ying was confused, Cindy whispered in a daze: "Sister Ying, why do you think Zhou Wang bought two of those 067As..."
Huh?
Wang Ying didn't pay attention just now, but now she realized something was wrong when she heard what Cindy said. Yes, after calculation, in addition to Zhou Wang's own starry sky watch, he had bought three more women's watches.
Even if they are all given to Jiang Mo, there seems to be no need to buy two of the same style, right?
You can't just wear one on each hand, but that would be too strange...
Before Wang Ying could think clearly, the manager had already returned with the acceptance form, the card swipe machine and another brand-new 5067A.
Zhou Wang took out his city commercial bank card, swiped the card to pay, and then pushed two 5067As in front of the two girls.
"Thank you for taking good care of Jiang Mo. This is a little thought from Momo and I..."
What?
What did Zhou Wang say?
Wang Ying and Cindy, who were sitting side by side, lost their breath for a moment. They both looked at Zhou Wang with wide eyes, their expressions seemed a little frightened, which made Zhou Wang a little funny.
"No, no, this is too expensive. I, we can't have it..."
Wang Ying, who was the first to react, jumped up from the sofa and waved her hands repeatedly.
Cindy also nodded quickly, indicating that she agreed with Wang Ying's statement.
"Take it, this is not Taobao shopping. You can't return it if you buy it. If you don't want it, I can only leave it at home to eat dust. That would be even more wasteful..."
Zhou Wang said with a smile, and the manager on the side also hurriedly cooperated. He nodded, indicating that he really couldn't retreat.
"If you can't return it, you can give it to Momo."
"It's too cheap. It's embarrassing for her to wear it."
"..."
Wang Ying was speechless for a moment. Do you call a watch worth hundreds of thousands of dollars cheap?
But when she saw the nearly three million watch on Jiang Mo's wrist, Wang Ying was discouraged again. Well, after such a comparison, it seems that a watch worth hundreds of thousands is no longer worthy of her...
"Well, you guys try it first. It may not be suitable to wear it, just in case it doesn't look good."
Zhou Wang suggested with a smile when he saw Wang Ying's firm look.
As a result, the two girls found it difficult to refuse, so they could only try to wear it half-heartedly, and then they couldn't move their eyes away.
This is hundreds of thousands of BulingBulings...
The feeling of reluctance began to grow in their hearts.
It wasn't until they left the Patek Philippe Mansion in a daze and Zhou Wang threw the receipt in front of them that the two girls suddenly realized that they had been deceived by Zhou Wang.
You might have been able to retreat before, but you definitely can't now.
What evil capitalists...
Wang Ying and Cindy couldn't help but cover their wrists while muttering.
Now they don't even want to go to the evening performance. They just want to run back to the dormitory. They always feel that it is not safe to walk on the street. What should they do if they lose their watch...
It's so annoying.
In the future, the update time will be fixed at 12 o'clock every night as much as possible to facilitate everyone's follow-up.
