Switzerland is arguably one of the most stable economies in the world. The long-term nature of its policies, a secure financial system and bank secrecy make Switzerland a safe haven for tax-safe investors. Switzerland is one of the richest countries in the world, with one of the highest per capita incomes in the world, low unemployment and a fiscal deficit. Thanks to its well-developed financial sector, the service sector is also playing an increasingly important role in the Swiss economy.

Not only are banks well developed, but high-end manufacturing is also the most important industry in Switzerland, with the production of professional chemicals, pharmaceuticals and medical products, scientific precision measuring instruments and musical instruments. Major exports include chemicals, mechanical and electronic equipment, precision instruments and watches and clocks. The service sector is another important sector in Switzerland, including banking, tourism, insurance and international organizations.

Although Bao Zixuan is interested in other industries in Switzerland, he can't get involved. Although he also had business dealings with Swiss banks, the amount was not particularly large, and no one would buy some medicine if he was fine, and the only thing that attracted him was a Swiss watch.

People often say that the poor play with cars, the rich play with watches, and now they are also the super-rich who can be ranked among the top in the world, and it is normal to collect a few watches.

It can be said that the Swiss watchmaking industry is the best in the world, and other industries can also compete with foreign brands. But when it comes to the world's top 10 brands in the watch industry, Switzerland has hardly made other brands on the list. Even if it is made in Switzerland, there are not so many top watchmakers in other countries.

Although everyone has their own ranking, the top 10 watches recognized worldwide are Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, Blancpain, Piaget, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Girard-Perregaux, Breguet, Cartier and Rolex. These are the goals of Bao Zixuan, after all, the collection factor should also be taken into account.

Early the next morning, except for the remaining engineers and technicians, the rest of the people followed Bao Zixuan towards the center of Geneva. Watching more than 100 people drive 3 buses to kill them, the scene is also very spectacular.

When he got out of the car, Bao Zixuan said: "The limit of $20,000 per person can buy anything you like." But you have to spend the money, or I won't give you cash. ”

Hearing this made the men very happy, and they were finally able to buy the items they liked before but were reluctant to buy. Most of the people who have this idea are CERN researchers, and the engineers of the Black Cloud Group are relatively much better, after all, they are among the top in the world in terms of salary, benefits, and treatment.

Black Cloud employees quickly bought the good things and spent $20,000 first. The rest are spent on buying if you still like yourself.

Bao Zixuan came to several watch stores and bought a few as souvenirs, but the price was not very expensive. He hasn't gotten to the most expensive store yet.

Coming to the door of a luxury store, Bao Zixuan saw the door. Suddenly I remembered a sentence, "No one can really own Patek Philippe, you are just keeping it for the next generation".

Founded in 1839 as the last independent watchmaker in Geneva, Patek Philippe enjoys the freedom to innovate throughout the design, production and assembly process, creating masterpieces of global horology that have been praised by the world's experts, and in keeping with the vision of its founders, Patek Philippe and Philippe, with its expertise and tradition of innovation, with more than 80 patents on its technology. Patek Philippe is the "blue-blooded aristocrat of watches"

For more than 100 years, Patek Philippe has embraced the philosophy of quality and the principle of slow work. There is only one main theme, that is, the pursuit of perfection. It is produced in limited quantities, with a production of only 50,000 birds per year. For more than a century and a half, Patek Philippe produced a very limited number of watches, not as many as a fashion watch produced annually, and was only available in the world's top stores.

Thinking that there will be a lot of socializing in the future, this time since I came to Switzerland, I will be willful once. And there is a lot of room for future appreciation when buying this kind of watch, but it is not as high as the return on investment of other watches. It's okay to buy more and give it away, after all, they are all limited edition products.

After Bao Zixuan entered the store, a beautiful clerk came up to greet him: "Hello, sir, may I ask if there is anything that can help you!"

Bao Zixuan: "I want to buy a few watches, do you have anything to recommend?" ”

The beautiful clerk said, "What price do you need, I'm recommending it to you." ”

Bao Zixuan: "There are no special requirements for the price, after all, you are all clear and real." ”

I heard Bao Zixuan say that there was no requirement for the price, and he was followed by bodyguards. At first glance, he is a child of a big Asian family, and it seems that today is his lucky day.

The clerk took out a few Patek Philippe watches, and Bao Zixuan looked at them and said, "I want these pieces, and there are no better ones." ”

Lady clerk: "Sir, have you ever bought a Patek Philippe watch? ”

Bao Zixuan didn't expect Patek Philippe to be so good in the 80s, it seems that brand cultivation needs a gradual process, and Heiyun still has a long way to go.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "I just heard about it before, but I didn't expect to see it today." It's okay, I respect your rules. ”

The beautiful clerk said, "Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. What is your name, where do you work, and what is your job title? Have you won any important awards in the international arena and made any contributions to society? ”

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "My name is Bao Zixuan, chairman and CEO of Heiyun Group, and I won the Turing Award in 1979. Is there anything else you want to ask!"

The beautiful clerk didn't expect that the man in front of her was Bao Zixuan of the Black Cloud Group, no wonder she felt so familiar. It's because his job is not in place, this is a super rich man, but fortunately people don't care about him.

The beautiful clerk said apologetically, "I'm very sorry I didn't recognize you." Please follow me to the second floor to choose well, and our professional team will serve you. ”

News of Bao Zixuan's arrival soon reached Patek Philippe's founding family, and a middle-aged couple immediately called the driver to drive to the store.

When he saw Bao Zixuan, the man smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Bao, I'm D'Antoni Pictet." I didn't expect this world to be so small, but I actually met Mr. Bao in our store, and it seems that we are really fateful. ”

Bao Zixuan looked at this man and was stunned, isn't this the first time he met the foreign couple who had morning tea with a few boat kings at Li Ji Tea Restaurant? At that time, he also translated for them, and it seemed that he was going to tip himself 20 Swiss francs.

Bao Zixuan: "Hello, Mr. Baidaet. It seems that the positive direction is what you said, and we are really fated. ”

D'Antoni Pictet: "I am very grateful to Patek Philippe for coming to Patek Philippe, which is a recognition of our brand. Patek Philippe watches are not limited to you, you can buy them as much as you like. ”

Bao Zixuan: "Then thank you, Mr. Patek, I very much agree with the culture that Patek Philippe has at hand. Therefore, if you want to collect more, you should not keep it private. ”

D'Antoni Pictet: "It is our pleasure to recognize you and I will do my best to meet your request." ”

Bao Zixuan said to the beautiful clerk who had just received him: "Take the watches in your store, whether male or female, give me a piece of each style." ”

It was also very surprising to hear that it was the well-informed D'Antoni Pictet, which serves as the global headquarters. I have all the styles of Patek Philippe watches, and now I have to take out one of each style, and it is both male and female, what is it to do.

D'Antoni Pictet: "Mr. Bao is a bit of a waste to buy so much at once, after all, the watch is more valuable when you have it in your hand to serve people." ”

Bao Zixuan: "I have a lot of business partners and a lot of executives in the company. Choose Patek Philippe as a gift for them, so that they can experience Patek Philippe culture. ”

Since people help you publicize, what else is there to say. The largest order in Patek Philippe's history was born, with Bao Zixuan buying a total of 305 watches and pocket watches and spending $69 million.

In one day, the name of Baozixuan of Heiyun Group spread all over Switzerland. Even European countries want him to come and play, it's a walking consumer machine. Not to mention the large investment in Poland, the cost of buying a watch in Switzerland alone is more than 100 million US dollars, and of course the consumption of Black Cloud employees is also included.

That's a lot of sales, and now everyone wants Bao Zixuan and Heiyun employees to visit their store. These people are so bold in buying things, they basically don't ask the price, as long as they like it, they have to buy it.

Although this concept of consumption cannot enter the eyes of the upper class, it is people's own money to spend how they want, and others are not good at saying anything.

Bao Zixuan took Heiyun employees to this wave of operations, and the most direct impact was the unified price adjustment of major Swiss watch brands. It can be said that the watches they bought have appreciated in value before they have left Switzerland, and I wonder how others will feel about it.
