Jaeger-LeCoultre was responsible for the return of the watches from the boutique, and someone would arrange for a special plane to arrive in Geneva within two hours. ”

Finally, Yan Zhi said.

Ning Yan: "...... Not bad. ”

The tables are all on the special plane.

Originally, the price of 7.15 million yuan was already the most expensive of all Ning Yan's watches, and if these additional costs were included, it would be more than 10 million yuan.

Not to mention the consideration for acquiring the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand, which translates into a whopping US$2.6 billion.

"Now can we talk about Patek Philippe?" Ning Yan said again.

The spherical tourbillon, the Westminster Jongle Perpetual Calendar, and the blue enamel and guilloché watch became his name, and it was a sure thing.

Ning Yan was relieved.

I started to think about something extra.

“…… Not you. ”

Yan Zhi said with some hesitation.

"Isn't this trip going to make you start to feel like you have a few private brands in your wardrobe?"

Ning Yan once said that a man's face is like a woman's clothes.

There's always one thing missing.

Now Yan Zhi is worried that Ning Yan's 'wardrobe' may not be just something that can be solved by always missing a watch.

It has developed to the point that there is always a lack of a private brand.

It is important to know that all of Jaeger-LeCoultre's shares will take some time to be processed.

Not to mention the docking work such as share exchange that Ning Yan does not need to worry about.

It is only said that now it is only through the way of share exchange, from Richemont Group to exchange a part of the shares of Jaeger-LeCoultre, although it accounts for a large proportion, but not all.

However, at this time, Ning Yan had already given birth to the mind to think about whether another watch brand would sell it......

"I think too much about you. Ning Yan smiled.

"After all, I only went to Patek Philippe yesterday. ”

"When it comes to transactions of seven or eight billion yuan, I don't dare to swell, I'm just a weak, innocent passer-by. ”

Yan Zhi: "......"

Are you still a passerby?

If you pass by a few more times, there won't be much left of this high-end Swiss watch brand.

If you swell it a little and buy Swatch and Richemont directly, then there is really no one.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you a little bit about what I've heard. ”

Although Secretary Yan refused in his heart, he was not slow to speak eloquently.

"At the Salon des Horlogeries at the beginning of the year, there were such rumors, which can be said to be a basic operation, not only Patek Philippe, but also other top watch brands. ”

“……”

"However, in the past few months, the rumors have disappeared from the public level, but they have circulated in a small area. ”

And then it became true. ”

"It's not clear exactly what happened to Patek Philippe, but the Stern family does have the intention to sell, and it's quite strong. ”

"Some say it's because the Chinese market is changing, or even shrinking. ”

It is also said that after entering 2019, the watch market began to polarize, with a group of people pursuing the ultimate hit waiting for appreciation, another group of people Buddha nature, and finally a group of people turning to play the watches of niche independent watchmaking brands. ”

"Big brands like Patek Philippe, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin and many others have become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and watch lovers have little passion to look forward to, just like Audemars Piguet's Code 11.59, which was launched this year, is not very well received now. ”

“…… All in all, for one reason or another, and with the fact that the core of the Stern family's power is being handed over to the next generation, selling Patek Philippe seems to be considered a good decision within the Stern family. ”

Yan Zhi said very carefully.

But it's not cluttered, and everything that needs to be said is clear.

Finally, there are some miscellaneous things to mention.

Richemont, for example, also has a tendency to hand over the power of the next generation, and there are rumors that Richemont's future helmsman may not necessarily like luxury.

Perhaps it will be like the operation of buying Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC, and Lange & Söhne at the cost of 3.1 billion Swiss francs, equivalent to seven years of sales of the three major brands, and once again desperately trying to package and sell these brands......

The world is changing, and it is always so impermanent.

"Does the person in charge of Patek Philippe's watch business have anything to do with the Stern family?" Ning Yan asked a key question.

The current president of Patek Philippe is Terry Stern of the Stern family.

But that doesn't mean Patek Philippe doesn't need any foreign blood.

Even Audemars Piguet, a watch brand that has always been run by the founder's family, has foreign blood.

It's just that they all maintain an absolutely independent watchmaking process.

"On the surface, it takes time. Yan Zhi replied.

Ning Yan thought for a moment and said, "If I have the opportunity, I still want to enrich my 'wardrobe'." ”

"At least for the sake of my next watch, it's still necessary to keep these watch brands that have been established for a long time. ”

Yan Zhi: "......"

Actually, she was not surprised at all.

Ning Yan began to understand in such detail, and he was already thinking about it.

Based on the more and more in-depth understanding of the energy of the Ning Affairs Management Office, it is obvious that it is not a big deal to expand it a little.

After a while, the big red flag set off for departure.

It was Yan Zhi's proposal.

She says there are some interesting independent watchmaking brands in the area, which can be found in Geneva or in Basel's watch salons.

Asked Ning Yan if he wanted to see it.

Ning Yan thought for a moment and agreed.

It just so happened that the watch he had in mind would take a little time to arrive in Geneva from Madrid.

Along the Jura Mountains, the Great Red Flag stops in front of a typical Swiss hut.

This is an independent watchmaking brand selected by Yan Zhi with reference to Ning Yan's preferences: Time Machine.

For the arrival of Ning Yan and his party, the owner of the house was obviously unprepared.

After Ning Yan expressed his intentions, Daniel Nebel, the founder of the brand and an independent watchmaker, showed a smile and invited Ning Yan and his party in.

"You're not the first to come to me. ”

"If I didn't just want to visit, but I wanted to find a watch that sold out on the market, I was afraid that I would be disappointed, and some of my collection was bought by customers for various reasons. ”

Daniel, who is not receiving guests for the first time, said with a smile.

Obviously, similar experiences are common, and even the reflex nerves are a little more subconscious.

Saying this, Ning Yan and his party walked into Daniel's watchmaking workshop.

Because of his disgust and even rejection and capital involvement, although the watches made by Daniel sold well, because they were only completed independently, the output was not much, which also caused Daniel to have not changed his small workshop-

Just below the ground floor of the small building, it has been completely transformed into a watchmaking workshop.

Ning Yan looked at some semi-finished products on the table at first glance, which were different from all the watches he had ever seen, full of steampunk feeling.

I caught his eyes at once......

Broken bowls.
