Chapter 15 Rodeo Drive

"Although we can take the initiative to hide the content of the memo file, remember, try not to let others look at your phone. This is a normal world, and we hope to minimize the collateral impact of your existence and the probability of accidents. "

"Okay, I'll pay attention. Thanks for the reminder."

Half lying on the single bed in the apartment, Han Yi was having a conversation with them.

"I noticed that the cash returned was $262.5 million."

"Yes, what's the problem, Han Yi?"

"This means that for at least one consumption, the rewarded cash ratio is less than 100%, right?"

"correct."

"If possible, I hope to know the basis and considerations of your calculation ratio, which will be of great help to my future consumption behavior. Thank you very much."

"First of all, I want to reiterate that we encourage you to explore this world by yourself, but since this is the first official use of this rule, we will explain these two consumptions, but only for this time."

"For the consumption of your first car, the McLaren P1, you explored a myth about pop culture, and the satisfaction is strong enough, but supercars are not your real interest, so there is a sense of personal accomplishment. The lack of it has no direct relationship with your vision and goals of your life. Therefore, the reward for this consumption is 75% of the total consumption amount before tax in cash.”

"As for the second car, the Ferrari 250 GT SWB, what attracts you is its rich historical heritage and the rich brand culture it represents. At the same time, the concept of resurrection from the dead makes you have a strong spiritual resonance based on your own experience, and even Emotional connection. What you are buying is a loyal and elegant partner, not just a car. Unfortunately, it is also not related to your life goals, so this consumption did not exceed the 100% upper limit.”

Understood.

After reading their replies, Han Yi suddenly realized.When choosing a car at the famous car dealership in Ogala, Han Yi has been deliberately keeping himself in a state of excitement, constantly emphasizing his love for these two cars in his mind, in order to obtain stronger positive feedback.Now it seems that this short-term stimulation method is not feasible. It is impossible for a person's true favorite things and the most authentic and primitive nature to be changed just because of a few psychological hints.

If you want to get higher rewards, break through the 100% limit, or even get the "other forms" of gifts they mentioned, you must strictly follow your own heart.

Do what you really want to do and make yourself who you really want to be.

"There is another question, about the personal income tax of the transferred funds..."

Before Han Yi finished typing, a paragraph of text jumped out of the memo.

"Before you hire your own tax auditor, we take care of all the tax issues, and the tax due will be transferred and paid on tax day."

Han Yi let out a long sigh of relief, put the phone on his chest, and let himself lie down completely.

Looking at the mottled ceiling with night shadows and listening to the Korean conversation between Park Jae-woo and his friend in the living room, Han Yi tried to calm down, enter the deep subconscious, talk to himself, and listen carefully to the desire from the depths of his soul.

This sacred and solemn spiritual communication ceremony lasted for a full 3 minutes, and finally ended with Han Yi's slight snoring.

"..."

A line of ellipses appeared above Han Yi's head.

At [-]:[-] the next day, when Han Yi opened his eyes, he saw six holographic black dots still floating there.

Touching his head embarrassingly, Han Yi decided to put aside the matter of exploring the soul for now. For a person like him who sleeps too well, the difficulty of meditation is not because he can't calm down, but because his mind is too quiet.

What else do you want, let's go to class.

The next two days were quite fulfilling and peaceful.Spring break is coming, and basically half-term exams or mid-term papers for each course are concentrated in one or two weeks.By Thursday alone, Han Yi had to complete two quizzes, three reading assignments, and a four-page research report on musicians and music copyright litigation.

The joy of rebirth lies not only in the big picture, but also in the immersive memory of those trivial and interesting things, isn't it?

At least that's what Han Yi thought at four o'clock in the morning on Thursday, before he was tortured by the report.

After finally submitting the homework on time, Han Yi returned to the apartment after finishing the small class of MUIN 440 artist management on Thursday, slumped on the bed and fell asleep for fourteen hours.

Counting the time, Han Yi slowly got up and got ready. At 11.5:7, he arrived at the north gate of the school at the intersection of West Jefferson Avenue and South Hoover Street. Here, the University of Southern California is building the largest new campus project in history-University Village According to the plan, this 2700-square-foot, costing $[-] million new area not only has academic facilities, but also accommodates [-] students, which can be regarded as a slight relief of the current shortage of beds.

Han Yi didn't need to deliberately look for Xu Yiru in the crowd. She was like the protagonist in a movie. All the shots were focused on her, but these shots were made up of the eyes of the students passing by.Naturally, Xu Yiru didn't need to recognize Han Yi's Ferrari in the traffic flow. After just parked there for 2 minutes, two or three white male students came up to chat and asked Han Yi the price of the car.

During class, Xu Yiru keeps a low profile. Shorts and a school hoodie are standard equipment, and sometimes she wears sunglasses to avoid attracting attention.But since there are shopping plans and dinner invitations today, Xiao Ru will also prepare appropriate dresses without Han Yi's reminder.

White bottoming shirt, short black and white printed knitwear, bright black silver buckle belt, irregularly cut white mid-length skirt, plus the white Lady Dior in her hand, Xu Yiru is all about Ralph-Simon The last stroke left by Si in Dior.

Xu Yiru has her own obsession with the uniformity of the aesthetic language of dressing. If she falls in love with a brand, she will definitely have a complete set from head to toe, from ready-to-wear to accessories. When going out on weekdays, she will try to choose the same designer as much as possible. The collocation of the same brand will be adjusted quarterly at most.

Putting his hands together and bowing with a smile, Xu Yiru politely declined a Mexican student's request to join Snapchat. Under the eyes of the other party's reluctant eyes, Xu Yiru walked to the side of the street and opened the door of the Ferrari 250 GT SWB.

"Yes, Xiao Xu." Han Yi held the steering wheel with one hand, looked up and down exaggeratedly, "Are you going to the catwalk?"

"I didn't embarrass you." Sitting in the car, Xu Yiru raised her chin proudly. In front of her close friends, she didn't need to hide her absolute confidence in her appearance, "Call me sister!"

"Okay, sister." Han Yi handed her the Starbucks he was holding tightly with the other hand, "Take it and drink, there is no place for a cup in this car, it scalded me to death all the way."

"Thank you!" Xu Yiru narrowed her almond eyes slightly, and took a sip.

"You didn't ask me if I bought decaf?"

"If you make a mistake, I'll knock your head off." Xu Yiru took out a carton-packed tuna sandwich from his bag, "Here, I didn't have lunch, so let's pack it first."

"How do you know I didn't eat?"

"I sent you a message at 09:30 yesterday and didn't reply, so I guessed that you passed out."

"Can't it be a date?"

"How can you have a market?"

"You have?"

"Didn't you see it just now?"

"Does rotten peach blossom count?"

Chatting along the way, the Ferrari headed west, took Exit 10 of the Santa Monica Expressway on I-[-]W, and then went north to Wilshere Avenue. After about [-] minutes, the two arrived at the destination of the shopping plan. Deo Avenue.

When tourists refer to the luxury shopping district in Los Angeles, they always refer to Rodeo Drive, but in fact, what people call "Rodeo Drive" is not just this street.From North Roxbury Road in the west to North Summit Road in the east.It is connected to Wilshire Boulevard to the south and Santa Monica Boulevard to the north.Such a shopping, gourmet and lifestyle distribution center consisting of more than a dozen blocks is the most prestigious luxury paradise on the entire West Coast.

If there is an analogy, then Taikoo Li's format is most similar to Rodeo Drive.It's just that Taikoo Li is under the unified management of Swire Group, while Rodeo Drive is a natural aggregation of different properties and different brands.

Han Yi and Xu Yiru didn't hang around, their goal was already set on the highway.Park the car in front of Tom Ford, even if there is no parking space, the parking staff can change the location for you for this luxury car.

Time is running out, and it is impossible for Han Yi to fly to the Upper East Side of New York or Savile Row in London to customize suits. Among the ready-to-wear series, the most suitable for Han Yi's temperament, and the most convenient to buy for fine-tuning are Dior Homme, Longman, Balmain and Tom Ford, Han Yi and Xu Yiru happen to like the last brand more.

Ample shopping budget means that there is no need to tangle with single items at all.A frayed striped patina suit, a navy blue blazer in draped Japanese-style shaping, a gray Prince of Wales check cashmere suit, plus a black O'Connor tuxedo suit in twill.The four suits, plus the matching lining and tie, came to a total of $29170.

It took less than 10 minutes from entering the store to fitting, then to tailoring and checkout.Two business suits and a tuxedo required fine-tuning of the cuffs and trouser hems and were temporarily stored in the store, while the navy blue blazer suit fit perfectly, even the trousers only slightly grew out.For casual suits, a little longer looks more charming.

"I haven't seen you wearing this kind of jacket yet." Walking at the crossroads of the world where there are many famous cars, Xu Yiru pulled down the sunglasses clipped on the bridge of his nose, and nodded with satisfaction, "It's quite handsome."

I've seen too much casual casual clothes, and now I suddenly dress up, it seems... not bad?
"You're getting fat." Han Yi frowned, pinched his stomach with a bitter face, "I almost couldn't fit it just now."

After finishing the major events for a while, you should start exercising. Internal and external training is the correct way to open up the rebirth.

"Where are you fat... and a little more fleshy, lucky."

Reassuring Han Yi, Xu Yiru stood still at the entrance of No. [-] Rodeo Road.

"A suit needs a watch. Here, take a look inside. Which one do you like?"

Following Xu Yiru's gaze, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille and Omega lined up.

It took a lot of trouble to choose a watch to match a suit. Jaeger-LeCoultre and Omega were the first to be excluded. After all, there was no need for Han Yi to start buying from these two brands.However, the design styles of Audemars Piguet and Richard Miller are really not to Han Yi's liking, especially Richard Miller. It is appropriate for a hip-hop singer to wear their styles, but what about Han Yi who likes to be low-key? I can't even imagine how such an exaggerated watch can be worn by myself.

In the end, the two went back the same way, and picked out a newly arrived 5930G World Time Chronograph from Patek Philippe next to the Tom Ford store. The black crocodile leather strap is much more low-key than Richard Mille, and the dial design The ingenuity and simple patterns on it also won Han Yi's favor. 73712 US dollars, this amount does not need to bother the manager of the private bank, just swipe the card directly.

"Shall we go directly to Malibu now?" Xu Yiru was refreshed when she walked out of the store, watching her best friend gradually develop into a top-fitting man made her feel very happy, "It's not until four o'clock, Is it too early?"

"Forget the huge reward I said?"

Han Yi looked away from the phone screen, spent a total of 102882 US dollars within an hour, and received only 61729.2 US dollars in rewards.

Sure enough, if it is not something you are really interested in, the percentage that can be returned will not be too high.

"Let's go to the opposite side."

Han Yi pointed to the Chanel flagship store across Brighton Road and said.

"Ah, Chanel? No more, I just bought a Le Boy in Hong Kong during my winter vacation." Xu Yiru pursed her lips deliberately, showing a very reluctant expression.She didn't want to accept gifts from Han Yi, especially such expensive things. Even if she knew that the other party was worth over [-] million yuan, the relationship between good friends should not be mixed with money.

It will go sour.

"I've already bought me a cup of Starbucks, that's enough."

"There are so many things to talk about, let's go and have a look." Han Yi pushed Xu Yiru's back forward, "I didn't say that I must buy it, and there is still some time to kill."

Being so active, of course Han Yi had his own agenda.

"Okay, then you wait for me on the sofa, I..."

Stepping into the store, before Xu Yiru finished his first sentence, he was surprised to find a Mexican-American woman in a ocher red lady's suit striding towards them.

"Mr. Han." Olivia Rodriguez smiled and nodded to the two, "Miss Xu, nice to meet you. My name is Olivia, Mr. Han's personal concierge manager."

"I have made an appointment for the two of you for a four-point high-end fitting, and Ms. Sigrid Di Lepon is waiting for you upstairs."

Olivia's voice was not loud, but it was enough to make the ladies around them who were choosing accessories, perfumes and leather bags look surprised, jealous, or envious.

"Please come with me."
