In the large living room, waffles and fragrant coffee were placed on the coffee table, and Hicks had already chatted with Zhong Bai enthusiastically, and he did not shy away from missing him these days.

"Zhong, I thought you were going to come to me the next day, but I ended up waiting until the fourth day!" Hicks picked up a piece of waffle with his hand and handed it over: "Taste, it's made by our chef, it's delicious!" ”

If you don't understand this rhythm that the other party is a real lady, then Zhong Bai's life in these two lives will be in vain.

Whether it's the villa, which clearly has history, or the private chef, and the interior setting, it's not hard to see that Hicks' family definitely falls into the TOP 5% in the whole of Switzerland.

Zhong Bai didn't know why his appearance made Hicks so excited, and even a little too much, obviously beyond the boundaries of ordinary boyfriends and girlfriends, but obviously since he came to visit as a guest, he couldn't sweep the host's Yaxing, right? silently took the waffle handed by the other party and bit it into his mouth, but what he thought in his heart was......

In this atmosphere, I want you to try to help buy a cheap Patek Philippe watch, how do you talk about this?

"It's delicious." Zhong Bai realized that it was not a big mistake to start talking about food, and said casually.

But this waffle is really delicious, under Hicks's smiling gaze, Zhong Bai simply ate two more pieces, and then the topic begins: "Uh, actually, I took the liberty to come here today to ask you to help......"

"How can it help? May I ask you for a drink? Hee-hee. Hicks remembered the glass of wine he had been treated to at the bar that night, and smiled, "Tell me, I've been thinking about how to repay you ever since you invited me to drink that day." ”

The other party's straightforward attitude made Zhong Bai a little embarrassed, and said in his heart, Are you really thinking about that glass of wine? Isn't it just a matter of a few bucks?

But you have to say it, don't you? So Zhong Bai thought for a while and said: "That's the case, I have a leader who wants to buy a Patek Philippe watch to take back to China, but you also know that we don't have much foreign exchange abroad, and the budget is limited, although I fancy one in Bern in the first two days, but because I am shy in my pocket, I want to ask you for help, can you think of a way?" ”

Hearing this abrupt request, Hicks was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly his expression returned to normal, and said with a smile: "There are many styles of Patek Philippe watches, I don't know which one your leader is looking for, and what is the budget?" ”

Zhong Bai recalled for a moment and said, "It seems to be the 5227J-003 model of the PP series, what is the budget...... Of course it's a little too little, I know that this performance is around CHF 2,500 for the brand new model, but we only have a maximum of 700 ......"

Speaking of this, Zhong Bai's voice became a little embarrassed, after all, there is no money in his hand, so his mouth is soft.

This 5227J-003 is a classic among Patek Philippe's classic models, which is deeply loved by successful people, of course, it is also the kind that is relatively close to the people, converted to today's purchasing power in 2019, its price is about 140,000 yuan, but even if the inflation factor is removed, 2500 Swiss francs in 1981 is not a small number.

“700？ Do you want to buy this 5227J-003 for less than a third of the price? Hicks hesitated for a moment, and from her tone it was clear that she was familiar with Patek Philippe's watches.

"Yes, as fanciful as this smacks, I'd like to ask you to do this a favor." Zhong Bai thought about it and lowered his voice and said, "Actually, well-maintained second-hand is also acceptable......

Patek Philippe such a famous watch, Zhong Bai naturally knows that it is almost impossible to depreciate, and even appreciates due to time and discontinuation, as long as it is well maintained, there is almost no negative impact, after all, how does the famous Patek Philippe advertising slogan come about? - "No one can own Patek Philippe, but only for the next generation".

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Hicks suddenly flashed with big eyes, staring at Zhong Bai tightly and not speaking, which made him have some goosebumps: "Why, this requires it...... Isn't it excessive? ”

"Of course!" Hicks suddenly spoke: "Isn't it too much for you to go to our Philip's house and be willing to pay less than a third of the price for our watch, and you still have to pretend to be very careful?" ”

Nani? Your watches?

After a while, Zhong Bai suddenly realized!

The two of them had been talking in French just now, and the name Patek Philippe was naturally Chinese in Zhong Bai's mind, but what came out of his mouth was serious French - Patek *******e!

That's right, if not specifically a translator, this brand is none other than Patek Philippe's founder, Mr. Pactet (A

toi

e No

be

t de Patek) and Mr. Philippe (Jea

-Ad

ie

e) Created!

And the other most common and popular translation of *******e in Chinese is Philip!

And Hicks's full name is, of course, Hicks Philip, in other words, you can also call her - Hicks Philippe!

Zhong Bai reacted at this time, he was numb, he was harmed by the conventional translation!

Unexpectedly, this Hicks turned out to be a descendant of the Philippe family, one of the two founders of Patek Philippe?!

If it weren't for Zhong Bai being a foreigner, no matter how good the relationship between the two was, I'm afraid Hicks would be very angry after hearing what the other party said just now, right?

But it's just such a coincidence, who made the man who asked this question Zhong Bai?

Zhong Bai was stunned for a minute before coming back to his senses, but fortunately, after all, he was already a reborn person, and he had never seen any scene, so he immediately said, "Uh...... It's a bit excessive, but I'm actually trying to make a joke on you, don't take it that seriously, right? Since I am a good friend of yours, and when I come to your house and buy your watch, of course I want a discount price from your house, so you have to help me with this help! ”

"Hee-hee, it's not a small amount of money, I'm sure you'll never, ever spend that money in a watch shop outside! But who let you come to my house? Besides, you're lucky and picky! The 5227J series is a series that my father participated in the design and manufacture, and it should not be difficult to buy this series, if you want to buy a few series designed by Uncle Patek and their family, I really can't help you with this favor. ”

As soon as he heard that there was a drama in the other party's words, Zhong Bai couldn't help but be happy: "Ahaha, it's so coincidental? This style was designed by your dad? ”

"It's all the styles in this collection." Hicks immediately corrected Zhong Bai's mistake: "There are more than a dozen models in the 5227J series, and it just so happens that you have chosen this one." Not...... It seems like there's still a piece in my dad's bedroom, you wait. ”

Saying that, this beauty of the Swiss watch family immediately got up and went upstairs!

Rub, you're not going to sell me that 5227J in your dad's bedroom, are you? Zhong Bai thought whimsically.
