082, men's standard
After resting in the presidential suite for a while, Chen Dongcheng directly instructed Julie to arrange a courtesy car.
Take a courtesy car to the Patek Philippe Residence.
The location of Patek Philippe Residences is very good, right at 33 on the Bund.
Rolls-Royce drove into the courtyard, and Xie Jingyu got out of the car to open the car door for Chen Dongcheng.
A two-story small western-style building with the characteristics of the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures immediately caught Chen Dongcheng's eyes.
The faΓ§ade is dominated by red bricks and tiles, supplemented by ancient Greek stone columns and pilasters.
The porch and floor-to-ceiling windows are decorated with delicate patterns, and the walls are faintly mottled with time.
As soon as Chen Dongcheng walked through the door, he had a feeling of traveling through time and space.
The portraits of Mr. Patek and Mr. Philippe hanging on the wall on one side of the entrance are very attractive and hint at the origin of Patek Philippe.
"I'm Anna, the manager of the Patek Philippe Residences in the magic capital, and I would like to welcome Mr. Chen. β
A female manager greeted her with a smile.
Chen Dongcheng smiled and nodded to her: "Thank you." β
In the lobby on the first floor, you can see small booths everywhere.
Inside, there are watches from various Patek Philippe collections, which shine even brighter against the backdrop of crystal lamps.
"Mr. Chen, please follow me up to the second floor. β
The residence has two floors, and the staircase is covered with a dark red carpet.
Chen Dongcheng paced up the century-old teak staircase.
The second floor of the Yuan Mansion is a VIP room, which is private and elegant.
The Hourly Gallery in the middle of the second floor presents Patek Philippe's precious collection.
These include Grand Complications and Rare Crafts timepieces, with only one per small stand.
Chen Dongcheng was quite enthusiastic about several of them, and Anna introduced them with a smile.
"Mr. Chen, due to the regulations of the headquarters, the highest price of the watch in our Magic City Patek Philippe Yuan Mansion is only 1.5 million, I hope you can forgive me. β
"Understood. β
Chen Dongcheng followed Anna into a VIP room, the layout of which was comfortable and elegant.
The floor is covered with a blue and white patterned carpet, and a solid wood table is placed in the center of the lounge.
After Chen Dongcheng took his seat, Anna sat opposite Chen Dongcheng.
"Mr. Chen, let me confirm with you again, the model you want to choose to buy this time is 5160G. β
"That's right. β
"Wait a minute, I'll go get you the watch. β
Anna smiled and asked, "What would you like to drink?"
"Coffee. β
Anna went to get her watch, and soon someone brought a cup of coffee in front of Chen Dongcheng.
"Mr. Chen, please use it slowly. β
Chen Dongcheng tasted it, and the coffee tasted good.
After a while, Anna walked over, holding a watch box with a delicate brown pattern.
Anna put on gloves, opened the watch box, took out this 5160G, and helped Chen Dongcheng try it on.
This is the perfect watch that takes the arts and humanities to the extreme.
Chen Dongcheng noticed that there was a beautiful hand-engraved carving on the back of the dial, coupled with a 38mm milky white dial.
Introverted but not low-key at all, it also exudes classical beauty.
A black alligator strap with square scales is more comfortable and lightweight than a metal strap.
"Let's talk about the price. β
Chen Dongcheng didn't take the watch off his wrist and asked the price directly.
"1.27 million. β
"Mr. Chen, we are also sorry that there is no discount for the two Patek Philippe residences in China. β
Chen Dongcheng is also aware of Patek Philippe's virtues.
It is impossible to get a discount in China, and it is too troublesome to go to Xiangjiang.
"I understand, where to pay?"
"Wait a minute, I'll bring you all the contracts I need to sign. β
Anna was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied.
In less than ten minutes, Chen Dongcheng completed all the formalities and became a member of Patek Philippe.
Chen Dongcheng glanced at Patek Philippe's membership card, and there was nothing special, so he threw it directly to Xie Jingyu.
"Mr. Chen, we have prepared celebratory champagne for you, please move. β
Anna smiled and invited Chen Dongcheng to the lounge on the second floor.
Guests who come to Patek Philippe to buy watches can have a drink here.
When a customer buys a luxury watch, the staff will also open champagne to celebrate it.
There is no doubt that the 5160G that Chen Dongcheng bought is qualified for Patek Philippe to open a bottle of champagne for him.
Chen Dongcheng didn't pay much attention to it, took a sip with a smile, and got up to leave the Patek Philippe Source Mansion.
The Rolls-Royce at the door had been waiting for Chen Dongcheng, and Xie Jingyu sat sideways in the co-pilot and asked.
"Chairman Chen, I made an appointment with Mao Wenchao, the founder of Xiaohongshu, and he wants to meet you at their company at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. β
"Okay, I got it. β
"Jingyu, recommend me a bar, I want to go to the bar tonight. β
Xie Jingyu thought for a while and said, "If you are a bar, I personally recommend muse2."
I used to go on a business trip with the leader, and I was invited to a banquet a few times, and the environment and the quality of the beauties were good.
Several of the other nightclubs are either messy or dirty, and I personally don't recommend going there. β
Mr. Chen also went to a nightclub, but that was years later.
I really don't know much about the current nightclub situation in the magic capital.
Xie Jingyu said again: "If you want to go, I'll call, I have the sales phone of that bar." β
"Then book a booth and come later. β
"Okay. β
Xie Jingyu nodded, turned around and took out his mobile phone and began to look for the number.
Rolls-Royce drove back to the hotel, and Xie Jingyu opened the car door for Chen Dongcheng.
"Chen Dong, we have been contacted, we can go over at any time. β
"Good. β
Take a bite at the hotel, Kempinski doesn't have any decent restaurants.
It takes at least nine o'clock to go to the bar, otherwise there will be no atmosphere at all.
Chen Dongcheng went to the spa on the top floor of Kempinski.
Tell Julie to call a physical therapist with a decent appearance for massage.
Chen Dongcheng enjoyed the massage of the therapist with moderate strength, overlooking the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Huangpu River through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the spa room.
At the end of the 90-minute deep muscle body massage, Chen Dongcheng felt that the fatigue of the muscles in his body had disappeared.
Kempinski has very few people coming to the spa and the whole massage process is exceptionally quiet.
In a happy mood, Chen Dongcheng put a checkmark next to the 20% after the tip percentage.
When the young lady saw it, she was particularly surprised: "Thank you, sir." β
The cost of the massage is 998 and the average customer will choose the lowest 10% tip.
There are not many people at Kempinski Spa, and Chen Dongcheng is the most generous customer the young lady has met this month.
I went back to the suite and changed my clothes, and the temperature difference between morning and evening in the weather in the magic capital is still a little big.
"Chen Dong, I picked out two sets for you, one Zegna formal wear and one Burberry casual wear. β
Chen Dongcheng walked over and took a look, Zegna was in a black suit, which was suitable for meeting Mao Wenchao tomorrow.
Burberry's casual outfit is just right for a night club.
You can't dress too much to go to a nightclub, and many girls go to nightclubs wearing dresses.
As long as the atmosphere comes up, it's too hot to wear a T-shirt.
"Yes, I like it all. β
Chen Dongcheng asked Xie Jingyu to put the formal suit in the closet, put on the Burberry casual clothes and walked out of the room.
Chen Dongcheng is still very satisfied with himself as a secretary.
Some women can't find a female secretary to dangle in front of them all day long, and it is more convenient to hand over some things to a male secretary.
