Rebirth of the tea art man

Chapter 206 Buying a Patek Philippe
"Welcome to Patek Philippe. Do you two want to look at the watch? Have you learned about it before?"

The male salesman in a suit was tall and handsome, and he was much more pleasing to the eye than many so-called fresh meat.

"Sorry, I didn't hear clearly just now, can you say it again?"

The corners of Lin Cheng's mouth twitched, giving him the illusion of a lifetime away.

"Welcome to Patek Philippe. What kind of watch do you two want to see? Have you learned about it before?"

The male salesman kept smiling and repeated it again.

Those who dare to walk into Patek Philippe are considered rich.The richer he is, the more eccentricities he has, and it's hard for him to say anything, just follow suit.

hiss--

call--

Lin Cheng took a long, deep breath with a complicated expression.

PP's clerk is so polite?
If this is in 2020, or even 2022, it would be unimaginably outrageous.

Because at that time, you will not see any watch at all in Patek Philippe's counter.

People who want to buy a watch have been waiting in line for five years.

What's even more outrageous is that even if you want to wait in line for five years to buy a Patek Philippe worth hundreds of thousands, you are not eligible!

The essence of luxury goods is a sign of class division, a difference in worth and social status.

The more expensive, the more scarce, and the higher the threshold, the more it can reflect the maximum value of luxury goods.

Those who queue up to increase the price are still in short supply, which are considered real luxury goods.

And those things that cannot be sold at discounts all the year round can only be regarded as defective products of modern industry.

"Are there any albums for sale?" Lin Cheng asked.

"Yes, please sit down, please wait a moment!"

The male salesman immediately brought two exquisite albums with various Patek Philippe watches printed page by page, with detailed text introductions.

"16, 14, 23, 27, 30?"

"Eight... 86? 580 million?"

Wen Qian sat down and flipped through the album.

She played a supporting role in "The Age of Red Marriage", and she didn't have many roles, so she was arranged by the director to receive the young new boss.

It's just that the exaggerated prices on this page completely subverted her consumption concept, so it is not in the same world.

"Are these two Nautilus in stock?"

Lin Cheng ignored the little star's surprise, but pointed to the two watches in the album.

One is a steel Nautilus and the other is also a steel Nautilus.

It's just that one is the basic model with three needles, and the other is a complicated model with date, moon phase, and power display.

They are all watches launched in 2006. They are the only steel models sold by Nautilus at present, and then there are gold watches.

"Yes, yes, these two models happen to be in stock, please wait a moment!"

The male salesman was excited and hurried to the backstage to pick up the watch.

"Two million? Two million?"

"Watches just to tell the time don't need to be so expensive?"

Wen Xi couldn't understand.

A watch that costs hundreds of thousands is already very outrageous, and what is even more outrageous is that the person who bought this kind of watch with hundreds of thousands of dollars is just a freshman who has just entered college.

But I have to be a prince's companion, and go shopping with him all day long.

"Watches can still be used to tell the time, what about necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets?"

Lin Cheng asked back, but his heart was extremely excited.

Ten years later, the steel king, which is hard to find, is now in stock?

No queuing, no scalpers, just buy directly from the counter!
You know, in his previous life, he once offered a red envelope of 5 yuan, hoping that Patek Philippe would sell him a steel Nautilus, but he still couldn't buy it, and they simply didn't have it.

The customer is God, and sales have always been begging you to buy, offering you all kinds of discounts and benefits, and all you have to do is kneel down and beg you to buy.

But in Patek Philippe's store, sales are the gods, and the customer is the grandson. Everything has to be reversed, and you have to ask him to sell.

Discount?

You just want to increase the price by 10 yuan, and there is no such a big discount in the store!
This kind of thing sounds outrageous!
However, if you know, a blue plate steel king Nautilus, which is currently 26 yuan, can be sold at an astonishing premium of 2022 million yuan in the secondary market in a brand new appearance in 150.

Even the second-hand Nautilus in 2012, which was bought for 26 yuan and worn for ten years, will still sell for 2022 or even 80 yuan in 90.

It all seems so reasonable!

Because if you want to go to a counter to buy a new watch, wait in line for five years?
You don't even have the qualifications to line up!

After all, Patek Philippe, known as the "King of Watches", has an annual output of only 5 to [-] yuan.And there are more than a million rich people in the world who want to buy Patek Philippe?
"sophistry!"

Wen Qian wanted to argue with him, but when she thought of the "little brother" in front of her, who was the top student in the college entrance examination in Jiangnan Province and a top student in Linzhou University, she immediately put aside her thoughts of hitting a rock with eggs.

"Sir, here are the two watches you want!"

Soon, the male salesman came with a tray, which was padded with thick flannel, and two stainless steel Patek Philippe Nautilus were placed on it.

是5711/1A-010和5712/1A-001。

A 6-fold premium in ten years, and a 3-fold premium in ten years, the room for appreciation is comparable to buying a house.

The most important thing is that you can wear this thing on your hand every day to pretend to be a jerk, put it on for ten years, and then sell it again. Not only did you not spend a penny, but you made hundreds of thousands.

IQ tax?
No, this is market reality!

"How many of these two items are in stock?"

Lin Cheng tried it on, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

Patek Philippe's Nautilus doesn't look like much at first glance, but you will like it after a long time. It is a good-looking type.

In particular, this kind of shape design, which seems round but not round, and square but not square, is very in line with the aesthetic philosophy of the Chinese.

"There are only two left in 5711, and there are four left in 5712."

Hearing his question, the male salesman swallowed, and the big order came.

"Then... two of each!"

Lin Cheng wanted to buy them all, but after hesitating for a few seconds, he still felt that he would give a piece of love and leave a piece of warmth to the world.

It's enough for me and my dad.

"Sir, in fact, our store also has Nautilus in inter-gold, 18K rose gold, 18K white gold, and all-steel inter-gold."

"Look, do you want to..."

In addition to being pleasantly surprised, the male salesman did not forget to ask a tentative question.

"Then all... let's get one!"

Lin Cheng gritted his teeth and bought them all.

26万X2+34万+36万+38万X2+38万+41万+41万+59万=377万！
Ten Patek Philippes in one breath, all of them are Nautilus.

Nearly 400 million oceans disappeared in an instant!

If it wasn't for the recent shortage of money, he would have bought two sets of them all, and bought a Patek Philippe Nautilus family barrel for his dad.

After all, these gadgets are all very popular, and they will easily skyrocket by three times or five times in the future, and the further they go, the more the supply exceeds the demand, and the price increases will be exaggerated to the point of ridiculous!
