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

Chapter 183 "Money is for women to see" Upgraded Version
For the next hour or so.

Nicole Karaman took Gu Heng to visit almost the entire Patek Philippe Salon in Geneva.

The number of waiters following behind him also increased from two at the beginning to three, four, and finally to five.

As for why so many people followed him, of course it was to help Gu Heng carry the box and get the watch.
Ouyang Nana looked at the five waiters following behind him and couldn't help but tremble in his heart and swallowed his saliva.
She knew that Gu Heng once spent more than 200 million yuan to buy more than a dozen supercars at the station, but she only learned about it from the news. Since she had no personal experience, she had no way to directly experience Gu Heng's extravagance.
But today is different.
As a companion throughout the whole process, she witnessed Gu Heng's purchase process in detail.
When I see a watch, I don’t ask the price, and I don’t even want to try it on because it’s too troublesome. I just ask someone to pack it up.
This is Patek Philippe
It is no exaggeration to say that every watch that is worthy of being displayed on the booth is comparable to a luxury car, and some are even comparable to ten or dozens of luxury cars.
Gu Heng's behavior directly destroyed Ouyang Nana's consumption concept
As a celebrity, she was in the entertainment industry, a place of fame and fortune. She knew many wealthy people and had seen many second-generation rich people, but it was the first time she had seen someone like Gu Heng who didn't care about money, which made her completely unable to make any comments.
"Mr. Gu Heng, the total price of these five watches is 157 million euros. The most valuable one is the Super Complex Timepiece Series 1993R-5016 watch released in 001, which costs 65.5 euros."

As he said this, he was about to take the watch that had been placed in the watch box back to show Gu Heng.

But Gu Heng didn't even raise his eyelids, and said directly: "No need to show it to me, you have already measured my wrist circumference once just now, just help me adjust the strap according to that standard just now."

Nicole Karaman said quickly, "Okay, sir. Since the watch has been on display for a while, although we regularly perform maintenance, for your shopping experience, we still need to ask our most professional watch maintenance technician at Patek Philippe to do a comprehensive maintenance for you, which will take about 3 hours."

Gu Heng looked at the time and it was about two o'clock in the afternoon.
According to Nicole Karaman, when the watch is serviced, it will be the time for Patek Philippe's regular auction. Thinking of this, Gu Heng said directly: "That's fine, you can help me with the maintenance and notify me after that."

"Ok."

As he said this, he looked at Gu Heng's chest respectfully, waiting for Gu Heng's next move.
Gu Heng understood immediately that he had to pay for it himself.
Then he took out the American Express Group's black card and handed it to the waiter closest to him.

Having worked at Patek Philippe for so many years, Nicole Karaman has seen black cards many times, so she is naturally not surprised. However, despite this, she still attaches more importance to Gu Heng.

The previous respect for Gu Heng was because of Frédéric Arnault.

And now, this respect is simply because of Gu Heng’s own strength.

"Mr. Gu, please wait a moment."

After saying that, Nicole Karaman quickened her pace and went to pay for Gu Heng's bill herself by swiping his card.

After being silent for so long, Ouyang Nana finally spoke: "Gu Heng, have you always been like this when buying things?"

Gu Heng asked knowingly: "What?"

“It’s just that casual.”

157 million euros. Ouyang Nana just converted it in her mind and it is equivalent to 1200 million RMB.
She once earned 9000 million during the three years when she was most popular. Although she is not as popular now, it is still no problem for her to earn more than million a year. She is definitely a wealthy woman. Otherwise, why would she go to Patek Philippe to buy a gift for her mother?
But this rich woman depends on who she is compared with.
Compared with ordinary people, or even those social elites who earn millions a year, she is definitely a rich woman.
But compared to Gu Heng, she is just a pure poor person.
After all, Gu Heng's spending in one go equals his annual income.
"They are just some small gadgets that you wear every day. Why do you have to be so picky about them? There's no need."

The words are indeed full of pretentiousness, but they are indeed the truth.
Maybe Gu Heng used to think that Patek Philippe was some kind of super luxury product, but for Gu Heng now, it is indeed just a small gadget to wear every day and there is no need to take it so seriously.

Just like the high-end custom-made clothes of LV that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, in the eyes of ordinary people, they may be very impressive and pretentious, but in the eyes of Gu Heng now, they are actually daily clothes. There is nothing worth paying attention to. If you are not satisfied, you can just change them.

It is nothing more than a major upgrade in consumption concepts.

Ouyang Nana's face fell when she heard this.
For a moment, I didn't know how to respond to Gu Heng.
Clearly, what Gu Heng said didn't sound right to her, but why did it make so much sense that she couldn't refute it?
Seeing that she was silent, Gu Heng spoke again, "You just helped me pick for an hour. In return, how about I treat you to a meal?"

Ouyang Nana subconsciously wanted to shake her head to refuse, but when she looked up and saw Gu Heng's face with a casual smile, her body did the opposite and she nodded.
Of course Gu Heng saw Ouyang Nana’s actions. Although there was no change in his expression, he was very clear in his mind.

The cash power is starting to play its role
Although Gu Heng has never been exposed to the entertainment industry, it does not mean that Gu Heng does not understand it.

Is the character of a pure and talented girl like Ouyang Nana really as she appears to be?
Definitely not.
To put it bluntly, the entertainment industry is a large world of fame and fortune.

There are definitely people who truly regard money as dirt, but they will never appear in the entertainment industry. If Ouyang Nana really didn't care about money, fame or fortune, then with her family background, she wouldn't have to make her debut and she would still be able to live a very comfortable life.

In this situation, Ouyang Nana is still willing to make her debut and make money. Doesn't this prove everything?
In the entertainment industry, no matter whether it is a big star who has made it big or a nobody who has failed, there is no one who doesn't like money.

And it just so happened that what Gu Heng lacked the least was money.

He just spent 1200 million RMB, on the one hand it was for his own consumption, on the other hand it was to show off to Ouyang Nana. Obviously, Gu Heng's vulgar little trick was successful.

Just now, Gu Heng also found out that the watch Ouyang Nana bought for her mother was only more than 3 euros. Gu Heng could easily pay for Ouyang Nana, which might make Ouyang Nana feel more favorable towards him, but why didn't he do it?

The reason is very simple.
Although inviting her to dinner is also spending money on a woman, it is taking the initiative.

However, if I pay for her directly, I will be passive, and Ouyang Nana may even misunderstand me as a bootlicker. Women are very good at expanding their advantages, especially girls like Ouyang Nana who are used to the intrigues in the entertainment industry. They know how to utilize their own value better than ordinary girls.

As long as she feels that she is valuable to Gu Heng, then maybe Gu Heng wants to have something happen with her, but the price he has to pay will probably increase exponentially.
This also proves that although the saying "Money is for women to see, not to spend" is very vulgar, it is still applicable at any stage.

After waiting for a few minutes, Nicole Karaman returned to Gu Heng, holding the small card in both hands. She bent down and handed it back to Gu Heng respectfully, then said, "Mr. Gu, the card has been swiped and the purchase contract is ready. Do you plan to sign the contract now or wait until the watch is serviced before confirming the signature?"

"Please sign after you have recovered. I am going out for dinner now. I hope you have resolved all the problems when I come back."

"No problem. The maintenance technician transferred from the company is on the way. We will perform maintenance for you as quickly as possible."

"Also, have someone tell Fred and Nicholas that I'm taking my friend out for dinner at the restaurant Fred reserved earlier. If anything happens suddenly, have him meet me there." "Okay, I'll tell him right away."

Gu Heng said nothing more. A smile appeared on his originally calm face. He turned to look at Ouyang Nana and said, "Let's go."

[The host showed his power in public, spent 157 million euros in front of the girl he liked, and successfully indulged himself. He was rewarded with 5000 million yuan, and the balance was 5.3 million yuan. ]

As I walked out of the Patek Philippe Salon, the system prompt sounded.

At the same time, it also proved Gu Heng's guess that using black cards to consume can also trigger indulgent consumption. This makes things easy. Maybe after traveling abroad, he can bring back funds worth over 10 billion yuan.

15 minute later.

Gu Heng drove a Maybach to an old villa next to Lake Geneva.

Fleurs du ciel, a Michelin-starred restaurant with a very good reputation in Geneva.

However, due to its high price and long reservation time, although it is very famous, not many people have eaten it.

With the bodyguard opening the door, Ouyang Nana and Gu Heng got out of the car. Ouyang Nana looked at the small sign at the entrance of the villa and her face lit up: "Fleurs du ciel restaurant?! I have been to Switzerland three times and have failed to reserve a table at this restaurant three times! The reservation time is too long, it needs to be made 45 days in advance, which is beyond the date of my visa. Unless I make a reservation in advance in China, I won't be able to eat there at all."

Gu Heng smiled when he heard this: "Then it seems that you should thank me for taking you to the restaurant you have dreamed of for a long time?"

Ouyang Nana nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and then asked in confusion: "Doesn't this restaurant say that it doesn't accept anyone cutting in line? Even if the Swiss head of state comes, he has to make a reservation in advance? When I came for the second time, I asked someone to tell the restaurant manager that I was a singer and actor with 2000 million fans in China. In the end, the manager only replied that even if Michael Jackson came, he had to make a reservation 45 days in advance.

"Gu Heng, how did you get the reservation? Did you make the reservation in China before?"

A series of questions came out of Ouyang Nana's mouth.
Gu Heng just shook his head after listening to him: "This restaurant was booked by Fred. I don't know the details, maybe he booked it 45 days in advance.

Okay, now that you are here, don’t worry about how you ordered it, just eat it directly.”

The restaurant reservation was made by Frédéric Arnault on the train through his personal secretary, and the time was no more than 4.5 hours, let alone 45 days.
The so-called equal treatment is just a gimmick for ordinary people. As for why celebrities also have to wait for 45 days, the reason is very simple. In the eyes of the restaurant director, so-called celebrities are also ordinary people.

As for why Gu Heng didn't pretend to be superior here, it was just because he didn't want to hit Ouyang Nana. You couldn't just tell her that your identity as a celebrity is actually useless, right?

This is too depressing.
As he said that, he walked into the store with two bodyguards, while the other bodyguards waited outside the restaurant.
As soon as I walked in and simply told the name of the person who made the reservation, the restaurant manager immediately replaced the ordinary waiter who was originally serving me.

Under the guidance of the restaurant manager, Gu Heng and Ouyang Nana sat in the middle of the empty restaurant.
The restaurant manager also took over the waiter's job and personally handed the menu to Gu Heng and Ouyang Nana.

Looking at the menu which was written entirely in French and had no pictures, Gu Heng felt a little at a loss. He then pretended to be lazy, pushed the menu away, and asked the restaurant manager in French what dishes he would recommend today.

"Mr. Gu, our restaurant does not have individual dishes. I'm sure you've seen it on the menu just now. All our dishes are served in the form of set meals."

Gu Heng did not respond, but looked at the restaurant manager's face and motioned him to continue.

"Mr. Gu, I guess you are not interested in our restaurant's ordinary set menus. How about I ask the chef to use the best ingredients in the kitchen today to prepare a French set menu for you two?"

"can."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment. This meal will take about 100 minutes, and the first dish will be served to you in 20 minutes."

I've been eating French food for a few days now, and I know that French food is very time-consuming. A meal lasting 100 minutes is considered fast, and some even take 4 hours.
It was not until the restaurant manager left that Ouyang Nana asked, "Gu Heng, what did you say to the restaurant manager just now?"

"He said that this restaurant doesn't offer individual dishes, all are set menus, so I asked him to arrange two chef's sets."

"Chef's set menu? You didn't even ask the price?!"

Ouyang Nana's voice became louder, but she suddenly remembered that the person sitting in front of her was Gu Heng, a man who spent 157 million euros without blinking an eye. He really had the right to not ask the price when eating a meal.
But Gu Heng was a little confused and asked: "Why? Is it expensive here?"

Ouyang Nana nodded: "It's not very expensive, it's super expensive! The set menus here are divided into several levels, and the highest level is the chef's set menu you just mentioned, which costs 12500 Euros!"

Although Gu Heng had no psychological fluctuations at all about the price, he still cooperated with Ouyang Nana and made a surprised expression.

After pretending to be so powerful for so long, Gu Heng is already very experienced.
To show off, you have to pretend to be in areas that the other person cannot reach or at a level that the other person cannot reach. This will increase your status in the woman's heart, just like the consumption at the Patek Philippe Salon just now. It is obvious that he left an image of a wealthy man in Ouyang Nana's heart.

But you should be humble in ways that the other person can appreciate. This will give you an approachable image, making it easier for the two of you to have common topics, or preventing people from thinking you are out of their reach.

Loosening and relaxing, lengthening and releasing, high and low, shallow and deep, they are all experience!

Ouyang Nana originally thought that Gu Heng would be dismissive of the price, but she didn't expect Gu Heng to give such a response. She instantly felt that Gu Heng was not only rich, but also easy-going. She nodded her head and said, "That's right! A meal costs hundreds of thousands. If it doesn't taste good, I will definitely post a Weibo to complain about this restaurant!"
