"R ng, the Spherical Tourbillon Westminster Perpetual Calendar is a limited edition, eighteen pieces each in different dial colors, and the blue enamel guilloché dial you want is distributed according to the region, we don't have it here, although we are in the main factory. ”

The store manager of the Jaeger-LeCoultre main factory said with great regret.

Speaking of which, the guilloché in the blue enamel guilloché dial was also first introduced to the watchmaking industry by Monsieur Breguet......

The store manager is not very clear about the identity of this NG.

But none of this prevented the store manager from directly coming to the result through the big red flag parked outside.

It is a person who needs to be personally received and accompanied by the CEO of a major brand, including Jaeger-LeCoultre.

For three days, the name NG became a household name in the Geneva watch bezel.

And the big red flag and Asian faces are the symbols of NG.

Ning Yan did not speak.

Yan Zhi, who already knew that she was wrong, quickly spoke: "Mr. store manager, can you tell me where you can get this watch." ”

"Before I arrived in Geneva, I asked for help through your brand's official service and told me that there was stock in Geneva, and now that we are in the main factory, we will not leave empty-handed. ”

Yan Zhi really didn't expect such a result.

The store manager has permission to inspect the stock of this limited edition.

The results were quickly informed.

"Unfortunately, the blue enamel guilloché watch from Geneva has already been sold, and there are currently only five unsold blue enamel plates worldwide, in Dubai, New Zealand, Madrid and other places. ”

Ning Yan: "......"

Yan Zhi: "......"

Even if you don't study geography well, you don't know it's close, at least it's transnational.

"The main factory is not?!" Yan Zhi wondered.

It stands to reason that any watch will be kept in stock by the main factory.

If you can't buy a watch that you can't normally buy, it's definitely right to go directly to the head office.

"Unfortunately, no. ”

“......”

Hearing the word regret translated by Du Ling again, Ning Yan couldn't hide his disappointment.

Leaving the store without saying a word.

didn't even care about Yan Zhi on the side.

There was no response to the store manager's words.

In fact, with Ning Yan's experience these days, it is already a very incredible thing to be able to buy a watch in person.

The store manager was not dissatisfied with Ning Yan's unintentional faux pas, but was a little genuinely afraid.

No matter what nationality you are, you all have one thing in common.

That's ......

I want to have just the right meal.

"I'm sorry, S Yan, I'm really sorry, and I'm sorry for not being able to meet NG's needs. ”

The store manager said quickly: "I know very well that a person who loves watches has the pursuit and obsession of his heart. ”

"I'll ask the head factory to see if I can arrange regional transfers. ”

“......”

When Yan Zhi was about to say something, she also heard Du Ling's translation, and Ning Yan, who walked to the door, waved her hand without replying.

"No need. ”

"Secretary Yan, come here. ”

Yan Zhi ran to Ning Yan's side.

"Well, you say. ”

Ning Yan muttered: "What do you think about me buying Jaeger-LeCoultre from Richemont and Audemars Piguet?"

"Although it feels like it should cost a lot of money, and it doesn't seem like a permissible thing, but I think so, and it seems a bit unreasonable for me to visit so many factories and not do anything. ”

Yan Zhi: "......!!!"

She was really stunned.

Because of a watch, you want to buy a watch factory?

And no matter how the rankings are arranged, Jaeger-LeCoultre is always in the top 10 watches.

This is not a light sentence!

"I'll ask Aunt Wu. Yan Zhi reacted quickly.

Even Jaeger-LeCoultre's holding company, Richemont, has a market value of $40 billion, which is less than $300 billion.

If you really want to compare it to the colossal empire of the Ning Affairs Management Office, it is estimated that it is a matter of sprinkling more water.

Soon, Wu Wei came to the opposite side of Ning Yan.

"Mr. Xiao Ning, do you want to buy this watch brand?" Wu Wei confirmed.

Ning Yan snorted: "I don't know if this is beyond the content of adaptation, but in the past three days, I have been going around the watch factory, and in the end, I can't even buy a favorite watch." ”

"Just buy a watch brand and play around. ”

Wu Wei nodded: "It's not particularly exceeding." ”

"The scope of adaptation of losers is not very limited. ”

"But I have to make it clear that Jaeger-LeCoultre's shareholding is a bit more complex and it may take a little bit of time to communicate. ”

Without waiting for Ning Yan to ask, Wu Yan continued to explain.

"Jaeger-LeCoultre is a brand that has gone through ups and downs, and the quartz crisis of the last century has put Jaeger-LeCoultre in trouble. ”

"If it weren't for Audemars Piguet's reliance on Royal Oak to get through the storm and buy 40 percent of the shares for CHF 12 million, the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand would probably be gone. ”

“......”

"Therefore, the status of Jaeger-LeCoultre's shareholders is quite mixed at the moment. ”

"There is the Richemont group that everyone knows on the surface, there is also Audemars Piguet, and there are some of the founder's families. ”

After listening to Wu Wei's introduction, Ning Yan knew that it was not easy for the unlucky boy of Jaeger-LeCoultre to survive.

First of all, because of the quartz crisis, I was forced to make a living, put down the bottom line and take on any work, and actually made pens and lighters for Dior, and also produced medical equipment by the way......

A good watch brand, with countless patents, and even for a long time, even Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet were jaeger-LeCoulters who used their movements on a large scale, and no one has fallen to this point.

In desperation, it was finally packaged and acquired by the German company to produce quartz against quartz.

That's it.

In the end, I finally met someone who knew the table: Brüleen.

Under his leadership, Jaeger-LeCoultre ceased all sorts of messy businesses, the production of quartz watches, and the sale of movements.

Concentrate on product development and market expansion.

But......

Jaeger-LeCoultre's finances were so tight that they had no money.

Fortunately, at this time, Audemars Piguet relied on the 'Royal Oak' to cross the river in the quartz crisis.

With a little money in his pocket, he invested 12 million Swiss francs to buy 40 Jaeger-LeCoultre shares, which helped Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Unfortunately, this was a difficult start for Jaeger-LeCoultre.

God won't give me food.

After that, Jaeger-LeCoultre did not escape the fate of being completely involved by capital.

There was nothing wrong with itself, but the parent group was acquired, and it went around many times.

In the end, Richemont bought IWC and Lange & Söhne for 3.1 billion Swiss francs.

"In this way, if you buy Jaeger-LeCoultre, you can't bypass the major shareholder Richemont Group, and second, you can't bypass Audemars Piguet?" Ning Yan asked.

Wu Wei nodded.

"That's right. ”

Ning Yan then asked: "Then can you buy a part of the shares with rights as soon as possible and give me the watch back as soon as possible?"

Yes, Ning Yan has never forgotten what his purpose is.

Buy a watch.

Broken bowls.
