Chapter 256: The only king of the Imperial Capital Qianmen 23
On a rare holiday, Xia Chuan wore short-sleeved shorts and sunglasses and went out on the street.
This temperament person is different everywhere, and he has attracted a lot of attention when he walks on the road, and temperament is something that can be cultivated the day after tomorrow.
Pei Ying's demeanor has been cultivated well, and she is becoming more and more secretary-like. It's Li Huina's appearance, which is more like a liar.
Under the leadership of Li Huina, Xia Chuan visited some places that were not interesting to him, and sure enough, he still had to consume to be interesting and attractive when he went out.
Travel without consumption is really not of much significance.
"Won't you go to the Forbidden City?"
"I'm not going to the Forbidden City." Recently, the college entrance examination has just ended, and there are too many people who come to Yanjing to travel, and now I go to the Forbidden City not to play, but to queue up.
Of course, Xia Chuan doesn't want to go to scenic spots, even if he goes to these places, he goes in the off-season, and he goes in the peak season purely to find himself uncomfortable: "I'll go again when I'm interested in the future, I'll buy a watch, Patek Philippe I remember it's in Wangfujing Commercial Street, right?" "The previous Rolex Submariner was lost to Ruan Shaofeng to play with, and now he wants to change to a better one.
Vacheron Constantin and Richard Miller are not as impactful as Patek Philippe. Patek Philippe, as one of the most famous Haute Horlogerie brands in the world, is known for its high quality, high technology and high design.
Clocks and watches are made with great craftsmanship and traditional techniques have been passed down for centuries. In addition, he had already understood it before he came out, and he also had a dream in his heart.
Since he went to Patek Philippe, he naturally came prepared.
"Boss Xia, that was really asked by you, do you think I will understand these things that only rich people play?"
"Rich people are exaggerating." Xia Chuan couldn't help laughing. Pei Ying thinks what Li Huina said is good, buying a watch for hundreds of thousands of dollars and wearing it on your hand is equivalent to wearing a suite on your hand, what is the way to play if you are not a rich man?
At least in the eyes of ordinary people, it is simply incomprehensible. According to their consumption concept, if you look at the time, you can just use your mobile phone, and there is no need to wear a watch at all, but as the boss of a large company, Pei Ying feels that Xia Chuan really needs this thing, and he still needs it when he goes out.
There was also a Rolex before, and with the temperament, you can see at a glance that Xia Chuan is not an ordinary person. Thinking like this, Pei Ying realized that Xia Chuan's watch was gone.
When? Li Huina shook her head, Xia Chuan asked her if it was true that she had not been exposed to it in vain, asked her about musical instruments, playing the piano, and, and asked her that she knew a little bit about watches. It has to be Xia Chuan, I'll ask.
"Why don't you go to Wangfujing Business District, which is the most famous luxury shopping mall in Yanjing, right?" Actually, Li Huina is not sure.
She went there once, but she came out after a while, she didn't go to any luxury stores, although the living expenses given by the family were quite objective, but it was better to save money when she went there, and she couldn't afford anything.
If Xia Chuan goes there, he can also take her to a long experience. Following behind the big guy, only then can the knowledge rise.
Although Xia Chuan in front of him is young, he can really be called a big man, and the people who come into contact with him are also big guys.
Xia Chuan remembered that Du Yongchao was in Yanjing, and he didn't know if he drank like that yesterday's wine, and he woke up.
"Wait a minute, I'll make a call."
"Hmm." Xia Chuan dialed Du Yongchao's phone, but he didn't expect the other party to get up, which made him a little surprised.
"Brother Xia, it was planted in your hands yesterday, and I have a headache to die now, what's the matter?"
"I want to buy a watch, can Wangfujing?"
"There are many luxury goods in Wangfujing, what watch to buy?"
"Patek Philippe." Du Yongchao reminded: "What kind of Wangfujing is it to buy Patek Philippe, I will take you to a place, where are you now?" ”
"I'm downstairs from the hotel."
"Sit down, wait for me for twenty minutes, and I'll pick you up later." Pei Ying reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Xia, I heard from Director Du's driver yesterday that Director Du has a mansion in Yanjing. ”
"Normal." Rich people basically have one set in front of them, one set behind their backs, and maybe another set abroad.
He has little money now, and it will be the same when he has money, one thing in front of him and one thing behind his back. As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit has three holes.
He needs a gold house to hide Jiaojiao, and he can't buy it. Xia Chuan didn't have much interest in Du Yongchao's mansion, no matter how good it was, it was someone else's, so he found a time-honored breakfast restaurant and sat down.
tasted the most famous fried liver in the imperial capital, the taste can only be said to be decent, but it is the stewed that makes Xia Chuan love it more, and he made a cream fried cake, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the milky fragrance is overflowing.
Not long after, Du Yongchao walked in with a greasy back. Xia Chuan raised his head: "Have you eaten?" ”
"How many days will you stay in Yanjing?" Du Yongchao asked.
"I'll leave tomorrow." Although Du Yongchao is older, he is not psychologically big, he always likes eighteen years old like him, young and beautiful, likes to drink and wash his feet, and he loves the other party as much, so the two can talk together, as if there is no generation gap.
After getting into the business car, Xia Chuan sat on the suede seat and groaned comfortably: "How much does it cost to buy and change this car?" ”
"It's cheap, it's not as expensive as you think, the company is the most suitable for receiving VIPs, but you also buy a Maybach 62S reception, you are really wealthy, pure waste, what kind of VIP needs you to drive Maybach every day to pull?"
"Haha..."Xia Chuan laughed dryly, because what the other party said was indeed reasonable, and on the one hand, he bought Maybach because he wanted to save face.
Pei Ying secretly wrote down the model of the car, and she felt that Mr. Xia might have an idea.
"Where are we going?" Xia Chuan saw that the car was going in the wrong direction. Du Yongchao reminded: "The previous embassy was built, and the courtyard composed of five gray brick western-style buildings was in the Forbidden City. ”
"The Forbidden City?"
"Yes, I can't imagine it, there is one of the most professional Patek Philippe counters in China." Du Yongchao raised the Patek Philippe in his hand: "What model can you see?" Xia Chuan looked at it for a while and frowned: "Is it so exaggerated?" "If it's the low-end, he really can't recognize it, but the high-end one he can recognize it after a closer look, who makes him have a good memory, and he only remembers the most high-end handful.
It's like an ordinary person who recognizes a car, Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren can instantly report the model when he drives in front of him, but if you drive a slightly lower middle car, he stutters, and he can't say why, people are like this, according to their preferences.
"It's not an exaggeration at all, it's a lot more exaggerated than this table, and I can only mean it." Du Yongchao touched the 5002g on his wrist, and smiled: "But you are old at this age, choose a piece to be more public, and when you go out, you can see that you kid is a nouveau riche." ”
“……。” The corners of Xia Chuan's mouth twitched, nouveau riche? He does not deny this title, others are family businesses that have been passed down from generation to generation, he is really like a nouveau riche, he took off directly in a year and a half, and he stepped on the cusp of mobile games.
It's not bad to say he's an upstart. To be a man, you have to know how to recognize yourself, if you want to say that he has any background, he doesn't have the background of fart, just because he has money, and the relationship is also accumulated little by little, who will say that he is a nouveau riche in a few years, he will really be unhappy.
He had heard of a Patek Philippe only auctioned on OnlyWatch before, worth more than 200 million, so in the circle of super rich people, such a 5002g is indeed not exaggerated to the point of prohibitiveness.
The car gradually approached the vicinity of the Forbidden City, but instead of passing, it turned somewhere else. Du Yongchao said: "I don't bring you here, you definitely don't know, basically come to Yanjing are to Wangfujing luxury stores, you see, the north is only a kilometer is the Forbidden City, the south across the street is the railway station of the year, this place is the Dongjiaomin Lane of the year, the older generation of people know, you are not a local estimate and have not heard of it." ”
"I haven't heard of it." Xia Chuan looked at the quaint courtyards, courtyards, villas?
"It doesn't look like a place to sell things, it's more like the Mingguo Mansion on Jihe Road in Jinling, it's not a place for mortals to live, rich people have to bend down when they go in, hehe..."
"You're really right, it used to be, it's not now, it has already undergone earth-shaking changes, but these five small western-style buildings, arrow towers, and old stations have been completely preserved, mainly in order to cooperate with the Olympic Games in 0......5 years."
"Brother Du, is it from the imperial capital of your hometown?" Xia Chuan asked. The corners of Du Yongchao's mouth rose: "Your sister-in-law is from the imperial capital, I met in the imperial capital when I went to school, the thieves in the family are rich, but I was fascinated by me, it can be regarded as a marriage, but it is a happy marriage, and my family is also very good." ”
"You're not a son-in-law?"
"Young Nima." The corners of Du Yongchao's mouth twitched, he didn't look at the face of the son-in-law at the door, especially at that time, it was different from now, he really wanted to be poked to death by someone.
"Hahaha..."
"Isn't it much more comfortable for me to be your tour guide, you didn't want to before, did you see the front door No. 23?" Du Yongchao pointed to the door: "This is not a place where any merchant gives money to enter the business, only the brand that meets the commercial positioning of Qianmen No. 23 can enter, and more importantly, not everyone dares to enter here, for luxury and high-end restaurants, the environment and geographical location here are impeccable and almost perfect, but there is a fatal flaw for business." ”
"There's not a lot of traffic."
"Mr. Xia deserves to be Mr. Xia, that's right, the most important thing here is that the flow of people is too small." Xia Chuan thought about it, and it is true that only Patek Philippe can stand in this area, because there is no need for passenger traffic.
This thing is just someone running to buy it, like him.
"So there's just one shop here?"
"Yes, some time ago, there were luxury brands who intended to settle in, but because it was a bit quiet here, there was no way, and finally I went to Wangfujing, where there is a Patek Philippe counter." Du Yongchao: "Don't say anything else, you don't need to compare yourself with others when you wear a Patek Philippe, Patek Philippe itself doesn't want its customers and others to crowd together, hehe, how many people buy it for this bearing." ”
"It's not unreasonable for people to succeed in marketing." These words sounded to his ears, and there was a special mood.
Xia Chuan now knows one thing, that is, if you want to buy a watch, it is best to go to Wangfujing, SKP, etc., there are many brands, there is a comparison; But if you have Patek Philippe in your pre-selection list, just go straight to front door 23, because there is no need to compare.
Qianmen No. 23 is a place where only Patek Philippe can open a store, and only Patek Philippe dares to open a store here.
The gray villa is called the Imperial Capital Yuandi. That sense of dignity began from the moment I entered the gate of No. 23.
A large gray screen with extraordinary grandeur only
"Qianmen No. 23" has a few big characters in Chinese and English, just like many courtyards in the imperial capital, and people who don't know the inside story still can't imagine what the situation will be here.
Turning the screen, the hustle and bustle of Qianmen Street was instantly cut off, a wide lawn, five chic small western-style buildings, people can't help but sigh, there is no cave.
The little arrogance in Xia Chuan's heart, because the arrogance brought by money has also been reined in a little. After walking into the main gate, Xia Chuan and Du Yongchao chatted lightly and entered the door.
A coffee like Du Yongchao personally brought him over, wearing a small villa on his hand, what else can't be controlled?
It was Pei Ying and Li Huina, who were directly shocked as soon as they came back to such a place for the first time, and they were numb.
Turn left and you'll find the reception area, which is extremely luxurious. The details in all aspects can only be said to be more exaggerated than the vast majority of five-star hotels on the market, and it is worthy of being supervised by the president himself, and the quality is directly up.
Palatial but elegant, each ornament is just right and not obtrusive, as if they should be there, this is the charm of the design.
Letting the design school come over, such as Ruan Shuning, should be able to increase a lot of knowledge. In his opinion, it was like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, gobbling it up, and he couldn't taste anything.
Patek Philippe's iconic logo and a dazzling array of counters. The salesman smiled at the corner of his eyes, as if he was looking at a lover.
This kind of look Xia Chuan is too familiar, they know men too well, they are obviously professionally trained, plus they are highly educated, knowledgeable, and the working environment, just like ordinary people look at flight attendants, they feel different, they give you a different sense, and even produce some unnecessary ideas.
"We made an appointment an hour ago, my surname is Xia."
"Hello Mr. Xia, I am your personal butler, you can call me Xiao Ren, do you have a goal before you come?" Deng Keren, a very awkward name.
Du Yongchao said: "I remember that you have one in the store, 6104g? ”
"Yes, sir, you mean our Patek Philippe starry sky." Noticing the 5002g on Du Yongchao's wrist, Deng Keren knew that these identities were not ordinary.
"Yes, the starry sky, I've only seen the pictures." He is a layman, he is still a face dog, follow his appearance and take fewer detours, just go straight to the stomach in one step.
Deng Keren didn't say much nonsense, no matter how much he said, it was not as satisfying as the guests who took a look at it first, and immediately led a few people to the specific counter: "Sir, do you mean this?" Xia Chuan was instantly attracted by the touch of blue in the counter.
To be honest, I have come into contact with the style of the Rolex Submariner, many watches, even Vacheron Constantin's appearance can't shake him, I can only say that very few, the starry sky is really beautiful, and I can't forget it at a glance.
The special dazzling light illuminated by the lights, the unique blue of the dial, the feeling of stars and moons, and the large circle of diamonds in the outer ring, instantly made Xia Chuan's heart move.
Maybe watches are just like women, they all have the feeling of love at first sight. To put it bluntly, it's gluttony.
This touch of blue is really unique and charming, and the large t-diamond echoes the blue of the dial. Under the recommendation of the sales, Xia Chuan put it on and felt it.
The position of the two heads is staggered, not awkward, the design is very good, he thinks the lantern buckle is more perfect, the movement pearl rudder, small and exquisite... It's also beautiful for the price, almost catching up with a Bentley.
Buying what they like, Xia Chuan didn't feel pain, for more than an hour before and after, Pei Ying and Li Huina couldn't sit still at all, and even the price of an entry model from Patek Philippe discouraged them.
Out of the Imperial Capital Yuan Mansion, Xia Chuan is comfortable with his hands in his pockets, he is now taken into the pit, and he will not be able to look down on it no matter how cheap it is in the future.
Once the vision comes up and thinks about it, it is like getting used to the extravagant life and suddenly letting you participate in the deformation meter, who can withstand this?
At noon, at the private restaurant, after drinking some wine, Xia Chuan was curious: "That sister-in-law is currently in the imperial capital?" ”
"She ran around, tossing and turning, and told me to leave in September at most." There are women here, and Du Yongchao won't take out some things to say.
Xia Chuan nodded: "Brother Du, come, I'll toast you." ”
"Hey..."
"It should be, it should be." The two of them drank the sophistication of the people, this time there was no wine, it turned out that Du Yongchao came here to talk about business, and he was about to go to the field, he was very busy, so he came to entertain him for a day or two, and he was familiar with each other, and he usually didn't have time to meet, and he didn't see each other a few times, even if they were in Jinling.
After lunch, Du Yongchao left in a car. Xia Chuan has no pursuit in his heart at the moment, he glances at his watch from time to time, it is beautiful, and he has obtained a good toy, and there will be no moths in his heart in a short time.
Wangfujing, shopping mall.
"Xia Chuan, how about this?"
"Not bad..."I went on a date with Li Huina in the afternoon, but she didn't go long, and she had to record the show in the evening.
After Xia Chuan returned to the hotel, he exercised until nine o'clock, and after taking a shower, he had a phone porridge with Jiang He, and now he was more sticky than Li Huina, the voice was crisp and sweet, like a sugarcane that had been frosted, and it was sweet and sweet.
