Can you be called a rich man if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 114 Deposits Exceed Million
Ten minutes later.

A dusty CCB staff member was led to the reception room by the staff.

obviously.
On the way here, someone had told him what Gu Heng looked like. The moment he saw Gu Heng, he quickly walked over and said respectfully, "Mr. Gu, this is the asset appraisal report you need."

As he said that, he handed the brown file bag to Gu Heng.

Gu Heng didn't even answer the call, and directly looked at the manager of Patek Philippe Yuandi: "Give it to them."

The CCB staff quickly turned around and handed the document bag to the manager.

After receiving the document bag, Qi Shuming, the manager of Patek Philippe Yuandi, did not open it. Instead, he bowed and apologized to Gu Heng: "Mr. Gu, we are extremely sorry for our service error, but please believe that we have no intention of offending you.

We will take serious action against the two service staff members just now, and will inform you of the results as soon as possible.

Next, I will take you to visit our Patek Philippe Residence. I hope the following service will make you forget the unpleasantness just now. "

The fact that the CCB staff personally delivered the asset appraisal report proved Gu Heng's assets. As for the appraisal report, it was not so important at the moment.
After hearing Qi Shuming's words, Gu Heng didn't bother to let go.

He was just venting.
Now that he has vented his anger, it is no big deal. Qi Shuming has also made his position very clear. He will deal with those two guys later. It doesn't matter how he deals with them. What matters is that his attitude has made it all clear.

Were the two service staff members wronged?
Unjustly accused.

Everyone present knew that they were innocent, including Gu Heng.

After all, they are just following the rules set by Patek Philippe itself.
But no matter what, this rule made Gu Heng unhappy, so someone had to bear the cost of this "unhappiness"
It's not just Gu Heng, it would be the same for any rich person today.

This is the privilege of the wealthy group, and Gu Heng is one of them.

Patek Philippe is a world-renowned luxury watch brand. It seems to be aimed at the general public, but in fact it only serves a small group of wealthy people. What they need to do is to try their best to maintain the impression of the wealthy group on Patek Philippe.
[The host has initially mastered the power of money, fully enjoyed the rights given by money, and successfully indulged. Reward: 88 yuan. Balance: 8662 million yuan]

Listening to the system's prompt, Gu Heng raised his lips.
This is the power of money.
It smells really good.
And he made 88 yuan without doing anything.
good sign!
Then he followed Qi Shuming out of the reception room.
Yu Qianqian, Le Yi, Gu Xinran, and Tao Miaomiao looked at each other with very complicated feelings.
After all, they are still a group of college students in the ivory tower. This is the first time I have encountered such a situation. It feels like black and white are reversed.
No matter what, the service staff who can work at Patek Philippe Residence are considered elites in the industry, right?

Just because I followed the company's rules and regulations, I will be punished afterwards?
This is completely contrary to their values.
However, there was another person who didn't think so, and that was Le Yi, who stared at Gu Heng's back with burning eyes.
Is this damn privilege of being a superior person exactly the life she has always dreamed of?

Before, when she said she wanted to be Gu Xinran's sister-in-law, it was more of a joke, but at this moment, the joke seemed to have turned sour.
"Mr. Gu, how much do you know about Patek Philippe?"

Qi Shuming stood beside Gu Heng and asked softly.

“I don’t understand it at all.”

Gu Heng thought he was asking nonsense.
If I knew more about Patek Philippe, would I still feel so embarrassed?
"Then let's start with some basic styles, and then I'll introduce you to the brand history of Patek Philippe."

Gu Heng waved his hand.

"Forget about the brand history, just tell me about the watches in your display cabinet."

If it was at the beginning, Gu Heng might have been a little interested in learning more, but now he has no interest at all.
Seeing that Gu Heng directly rejected him, Qi Shuming was not embarrassed. He still had a humble smile on his face and took Gu Heng to the outermost booth.

"Mr. Gu, what you are looking at now is our best-selling series of Patek Philippe, Nautilus, which means Nautilus series. This one is the Nautilus 5724G-001 model, which is also a hard-to-find model outside.

It has only been three days since this watch arrived from the Geneva headquarters, and more than ten customers have come here to admire it, but they were all put off by its price.”

Gu Heng first took a look at the watch in the display case, then asked with interest, "How much is it?"

“It’s probably around 140 million yuan.”

"perhaps?"

Listening to Qi Shuming's words, Gu Heng looked at him in confusion.

To be honest, Gu Heng's definition of the value of a watch is very vague.

On the one hand, he felt that such a small piece of flashy stuff was not worth hundreds of millions.
On the other hand, the fact that so many wealthy people in the world are so fond of those famous watches shows that they have their merits.
He doesn't have the idea that everyone else is drunk and he is the only one who is sober. For those first-generation rich people who have made their fortunes from scratch, or those second-generation rich people who have relied on the influence of their parents, they are not fools.
If you really think they are fools, you are the real fool.

Besides, he is rich now, so 140 million is not a big number and it won't surprise him too much.
What really puzzled Gu Heng was that, as a seller, Qi Shuming actually used the word "approximately" to tell me his price.
Seeing the confusion in Gu Heng's eyes, Qi Shuming quickly explained: "It's like this, all the watches in our Patek Philippe Residence are priced in Swiss francs by the Geneva headquarters and settled in RMB.

The exchange rate between the Swiss franc and the RMB is always different.

This difference does not have much impact on small amounts, but it has a huge impact on Patek Philippe watches that are priced in the millions or tens of millions. It is very likely that a small fluctuation will cause a price difference of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

So I can only give you an approximate price for this watch.”

Ok
These luxury brands really do everything they can to maintain their status
What's the difference between this and taking off your pants and farting?
Although he was complaining in his heart, his expression did not change at all, and he continued to move forward.

Yu Qianqian, Le Yi and other girls followed behind Gu Heng cautiously.
There are so many watches on display here that they really don't dare to wander around randomly. The chance of touching a watch in the display cabinet is very small, but if they accidentally break some antique decorations next to it, it is estimated that the compensation will be a huge price.
Especially Yu Qianqian
She originally came here to broaden her horizons, and now she has really broadened her horizons.
It would be an exaggeration to say that her family would have to sell all their property to buy any watch here.
But just like the 140 million watch just now, if their family wants to buy it, it will definitely be a huge loss in terms of cash assets.
She has always considered herself a second-generation rich person, and she doesn't mind being called a second-generation rich person.
But it was not until she came here that she realized that there were also differences among the rich.
My family can only be considered the lowest class among the rich, and my identity as a second-generation rich is just that of a second-generation rich in the eyes of ordinary people.
Just when everyone was thinking different things, Gu Heng's voice rang out.

"Manager Qi, please introduce this watch to me."

Upon hearing this, Qi Shuming quickly took a look at the watches in the display case, and then introduced them based on his memory: "This is a watch from the Super Complex Function series, model number 5327R-001, and there are three styles to choose from, namely 18K gold, 18K platinum, and the 18K rose gold in front of you.

Although it is made of rose gold, which is a bit more feminine, it is a real men's watch.

And it is very popular in the market.

Unlike the previous Nautilus 5724G-001, that model belongs to the sports series and is suitable for wearing during sports, such as golf, bowling, and equestrian sports.

The 5327R-001 is more casual and suitable for most daily outfits. It is low-key and elegant without being too distracting.

Compared with the previous watch, Gu Heng still prefers this one
Maybe it suits his taste better.
After listening to Qi Shuming's introduction, Gu Heng turned his gaze to him again, and the meaning of his question was self-evident.

Qi Shuming also understood immediately.

"The price of this watch is about 100 million yuan."

Low
After hearing Qi Shuming's offer, Gu Heng frowned slightly and muttered to himself.

After buying this watch, even if the system gives me the highest indulgence reward, it is estimated that it will hardly exceed 1000 million, and I will not be able to fulfill my wish to come to Patek Philippe tonight.
Put it aside for now
Wait until you see a watch that is sufficient to achieve your goals before considering this one.

In the next half hour, Qi Shuming and Gu Heng took a few people to look through the dozen watches in the exhibition hall on the first floor.
Not only did Gu Heng not appreciate the looks of the watches, but their prices were generally over 100 million yuan, and there were few that were over 200 million yuan.

I couldn't help but said to Qi Shuming impatiently: "Are all the watches here priced at this price? I'm going to say something unpleasant, don't the slightly more upscale watch shops and watch specialty stores outside have these watches in stock?
Why are you guys still doing capital verification? Isn't that wrong?"

This is indeed a bit crazy.
But what was said was Gu Heng's inner voice
I respected Patek Philippe's regulations and went to great lengths to have someone send me the capital verification report, but in the end I took off my pants and this is what I saw?

Listening to Gu Heng's obviously impatient voice, even though he was scolded, Qi Shuming's expression did not change at all, and he was still smiling.

“The first floor has the more basic styles, and the more high-end styles are on the second floor.

Since Mr. Gu doesn't want to see these, can I take you to the second floor for a tour?"

Gu Heng nodded slightly.

After receiving the response, Qi Shuming immediately invited Gu Heng to come to the elevator.
Two-storey building.
Maybe it's not even as high as the house in my hometown after it's built, and I need to install an elevator.
Gu Heng really experienced what it means to "take off your pants and fart" today, and it happened more than once.
The space on the second floor is even more spacious.

And there were only a few more elaborate booths.
As soon as he came out of the elevator, Gu Heng saw a watch displayed on the booth right in front of him.

He quickened his pace and walked straight to the booth.

A closer look will further enhance the charm of this watch
The starry sky dial immediately attracted all of Gu Heng's attention. "Please introduce this watch."

"I have to admire your vision, Mr. Gu. This Ref.5002P, with its super-complex surface, has left a deep impression on many wealthy people. This watch is a "Sky Moon" watch launched by Patek Philippe in 2001. It is also the most complicated watch product since the establishment of our brand and was also hailed as the best work at that time.

The movement has 686 parts and 55 gemstones embedded in the whole watch, which constitute the 12 most important watch complex functions: including tourbillon, perpetual calendar, monthly calendar, leap year cycle, week, month, date, flyback, three questions, sky chart, moon phase and moon trajectory. Due to its extremely complex technology and ingenious design, only one of the 180 Patek Philippe master watchmakers can make this model, which is a must-have target for the world's top collectors.

He has a very resounding nickname outside, "Patek Philippe Watch King" . In fact, compared with ordinary brands, any watch of our Patek Philippe can be crowned with the title of "Watch King", and this 5002P is the king of kings.

Although its successor, the 6002G, is better than it in some aspects, no one can deny the status of the 5002P. "

Qi Shuming spoke out all the praises he had for this watch in one breath.
“How much is this watch?”

Gu Heng's eyes were fixed on the watch in the display case, and he asked without even raising his head.

“I regret to inform you that this watch has been discontinued since 2011. The only model on display is a model. In other words, Mr. Gu has no other channels to buy this watch except from collectors.

I vaguely remember that the price when it was discontinued was about 1700 million yuan. But after so many years, according to the appreciation curve of our Patek Philippe watches, it is very likely that it has exceeded 3000 million yuan. "

Hearing this, Gu Heng's eyes darkened slightly.
This damn Patek Philippe seems to be at odds with me
I finally found a watch I liked. Not only did its appearance meet my requirements, but the price was also very affordable. If I bought it, wouldn't that be considered indulging myself in lust?
Deposits directly exceeded 100 million?

But before he could think about it carefully, he told himself that this watch was no longer sold?

Why is a discontinued watch on display in a display cabinet? Why not just put it in a museum?

Seeing Gu Heng's gloomy expression, Qi Shuming's heart trembled.
Whether the customer is satisfied or not, a service staff like him can tell at a glance
Gu Heng's expression now clearly showed the signs of an attack.

Thinking of this, Qi Shuming quickly began to remedy the situation: "Although this 5002P is no longer on sale, we still have many other models on sale. Would you like to learn more about them, Mr. Gu?"

Having said that, he took Gu Heng to the booth on the other side.

“This is a super-complex timepiece series 5271/11P-010 watch, also with a blue dial, and the price is also quite high, about 360 million.
Although it has only been on sale for a little over a year, the price in the secondary market is already approaching 400 million.”

Gu Heng just glanced at it indifferently. He no longer had the desire to continue shopping. However, even though he had lost the desire, he still remembered the purpose of coming here. Although this watch was not as good as the so-called king watch just now, it was still good. He then said, "Then let's take this one."

Qi Shuming was just about to continue his introduction, but he fell silent after hearing what Gu Heng said. He asked in an uncertain tone: "Mr. Gu, do you mean to buy this 5271/11P-010?"

"Why not?"

After getting Gu Heng's confirmation, Qi Shuming's performance was fine. After all, he had been in the industry for so long and had met many different types of customers.
There are many generous guests like Gu Heng.
Gu Heng can only be regarded as the type who is too generous. Although rare, there are still some
But Gu Xinran and the others are different.
Several people clenched their fists almost at the same time.
Especially Gu Xinran, who walked up to Gu Heng with a trembling voice and grabbed his clothes and said, "Brother, this is 360 million, do you want to know more about it?"

Gu Heng smiled and touched her head without saying anything, his eyes still on Qi Shuming.

Qi Shuming took a deep breath and said, "It is like this, Mr. Gu. Although this watch is on sale, we need to transfer it from the Geneva headquarters, so you can only make a reservation first, and then we will communicate with the Geneva headquarters.

It’s not just here, it’s the same even if you go to any Patek Philippe store in the country or even the world.”

Gu Heng nodded.

For something worth millions, it is acceptable for the procedures to be a little complicated.

If you want it fast, there is no other way but to buy second-hand.

But I have already decided to buy a used car, so it would be a bit unreasonable to buy a used watch as well.
Maybe I will have to buy a second-hand house at that time. It’s not possible to have all of them second-hand, right?

“另外还需要提醒顾先生一声，购买这款5271/11P-010还需要购买两块我们百达翡丽的入门款.就像购买法拉利F40、F50同样也需要购买一些入门车型一样，希望您能够理解。”

I understand. Of course I understand.

It's nothing more than taking advantage of the rich.
I have experienced this once when I bought a Rolex.

Although I feel disgusted, there is really nothing I can do about it. I am not rich enough to make these brands lick my ass.

If I were that rich, I would even ask Patek Philippe to make me another discontinued 5002P.

There is no way to change the rules, so of course you can only adapt to them.
Thinking of this, Gu Heng said directly: "Then you can count the two pieces we just saw on the first floor, the Nautilus and the rose gold ones. Those two should be in stock, right?"

“Yes, but”

Before he could finish his words, Gu Heng's eyes were already meeting his.

Gu Heng swore that if this idiot came up with another rule that made him unhappy, he would turn around and leave immediately.

He won't spend this money anymore!

Qi Shuming originally wanted to tell Gu Heng that the two pieces were a bit expensive and wanted Gu Heng to choose two cheaper ones.
But when I saw the look in her eyes, I honestly swallowed all the words I wanted to say.
"Then Mr. Gu, I will take you to the reception room to rest for a while, and we will help you with these procedures."

The atmosphere in the reception room was unusually dull.
Except for Gu Heng who occasionally chatted with Gu Xinran, the other three sat on the sofa without saying a word, only occasionally exchanging glances.
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door and Qi Shuming walked in with two service staff.

He was holding a stack of documents, while the other two service staff were holding watch boxes.

"Mr. Gu, please take a look at these two watches first, and we will discuss the purchase details later."

But Gu Heng waved his hand. He had already seen everything he should have seen. There was no need to look at it again. For a watch novice like him, he would not be able to figure out anything even if he looked at it with a magnifying glass for days and nights.

Then he gestured for him to give him the document in his hand.

Since Gu Heng didn't look at it, Qi Shuming didn't continue to ask for it. Instead, he gently placed the document on the desk in front of Gu Heng.

“刚才通过汇率，我们已经查证了这几块表的现价，鹦鹉螺5724G-001的价格是141万人民币，5327R-001的价格是97万人民币。

As for the last piece, 5271/11P-010, its price is 357 million RMB.

However, since we cannot deliver this watch to you in time, you only need to pay a deposit of 50 yuan. After the first deposit, there are second and third orders, and the final balance is the one-time payment of the watch. And I have to remind you that no matter how the exchange rate between Swiss francs and RMB changes in the future, the final transaction price is 357 million RMB.

So you only need to pay 288 million yuan this time, and we will inform you of the subsequent second order fee when we confirm the order at our Geneva headquarters."

Gu Heng didn't say much, he just took the document and signed his name on it.
The documents were in both Chinese and English, and I was buying three watches at the same time. I had to sign more than a dozen copies of the documents.
The reception room was so quiet that the friction of Gu Heng's pen on the paper could be clearly heard.
Yu Qianqian and Le Yi are both in the same state.
Every time Gu Heng signed a document, their hearts couldn't help but itch.
It was as if Gu Heng's pen was not moving on paper, but on their hearts.
After signing all the documents, Qi Shuming carefully sorted them into two copies, handed one to Gu Heng and put the other in a file bag. He signaled with his eyes to the two service staff to put the other two watches in front of Gu Heng.

"Mr. Gu, congratulations on becoming our distinguished member of Patek Philippe.

In a few years, when your watch appreciates to a higher value, you will thank yourself for this wise investment.

Please forgive me for using the word "investment" to describe your consumption this time, because at Patek Philippe, the word consumption is derogatory, and investment is the true meaning.

Just like our Patek Philippe slogan, no one can truly own a Patek Philippe, we are just keeping it for the next generation. "

Gu Heng listened to these words and shrugged without comment.
For these nonsense, just listen to them.
[The host enjoyed a shopping experience of top luxury goods, successfully indulged himself, and was rewarded with 1888 million yuan, with a balance of 10262 million yuan. ]

Gu Heng finally felt comfortable after listening to the system's prompt tone.
Although I am skeptical about the word "enjoyment" mentioned by the system, I don't feel that I enjoyed it very much this time. The main reason is that these luxury brands have too many rules and regulations, although the service is indeed good.

But it's good that the money has arrived, and my savings have exceeded 100 million as I wished.
Officially entered the billionaire club!

The people who came with Gu Heng were all in a dreamlike state.
288.
That's how it was spent.
They suddenly seemed to have opened the door to a new world.
Especially Le Yi, who had already planned in her heart how to approach Gu Heng.
As for what Gu Xinran said, Gu Heng already had a girlfriend, she didn't care at all
If you can cheat even when you are married, what does it matter if you have a girlfriend? ?

　In response to the claim that capital verification lowers intelligence, my answer is no, the only flaw is that I did not mention the amount of capital verification. Luxury stores in various places have their own policies. Not to mention top luxury brands like Patek Philippe, some jewelry stores also require capital verification. It can only be said that reality is far more magical than fiction.
