Chapter 164 What is Exquisiteness?

Wu Qian nodded and said, "Miangui's surname is Wu, can you take out the pen and have a look."

"Hello, Mr. Wu, there is no problem, just wait a moment." The manager started to work again, and the door of the exhibition cabinet that had just been locked was opened again, and then he made a gesture of invitation and said, "Please take it yourself."

Precious jewelry and antiques are all based on the principle of "no hand", that is to say, they cannot be passed directly by hand.

Wu Qian discovered this phenomenon when he was at Patek Philippe. At that time, the female manager must put the watch on the tray, and then he would pick it up by himself. In this way, even if something goes wrong, the responsibility can be clearly defined. It is a kind of potential Rules and Agreements.

Wu Qian carefully took out the pen from the glass showcase.

This pen is about the thickness of a cigar, not completely black, but with dark patterns.There is a transparent pen body made of sapphire glass at the end, and the inside is a precise mechanical structure, which is not like the structure that a fountain pen should have at all.What attracted Wu Qian was the mechanical organization at the end, which gave him a steampunk feel.

While Wu Qian was looking at the pen, the manager was also looking at him, or the P.P on his wrist. Combined with Wu Qian's temperament, from the perspective of taste and style, the manager dismissed the idea of ​​selling his own watch to Wu Qian. He said attentively: "Sir, let me introduce you a little bit. The model of this fountain pen is RM S05, made by Richard Mille."

"Almost all the top materials used in Swiss watches can be found on this fountain pen. The nib is made of 18K platinum and can automatically expand and contract, but its expansion and contraction is not controlled by an electronic system. Instead, it uses a Swiss watch movement. Complete, fully mechanized, the movement is made of grade 5 titanium and 12 rubies, and the materials used are extremely expensive.

The body of the pen is composed of NTPT carbon fiber material exclusively developed by Shangqianlayer Company, and the workmanship is extremely complicated.Every time you finish using this fountain pen, you only need to put the cap on, the mechanism of the pen will be triggered, and the nib will retract automatically. Such a fountain pen can definitely match your noble and steady temperament. "

The manager gave a compliment. People who wear more than 2000 million watches on their wrists are done with praise. It is useless to think so much.

Wu Qian suddenly understood why this pen attracted him, because carbon fiber and precision machinery are two common points of high-end sports cars.He listened to the manager's introduction, opened the cap of the pen and began to play with it.

Gently unscrew the pen cap, press the button at the end of the pen, the nib does not just pop out with a "bang", the precision mechanical operation requires a short process, the whole process is about 5 seconds, the nib is slowly pushed out under the control of the mechanical device , There is no stagnation or stuttering in the process of extending, and the speed is very even, revealing a sense of luxury.

Wu Qian held a pen with the thickness of a cigar, and he could feel the slight vibration coming from the inside of the pen. This was a very magical experience, a bit like an ancient Chinese magic trick.He stared intently at the mechanical parts in operation. Indeed, there is no battery or electronic module to make the pen work, and the whole process is completely completed by the mechanism spring and the mechanism.

"Interesting, interesting." Wu Qian said with a smile, such a pen can be played with for a long time.

The pen barrel looks extremely smooth on the outside, but it still has a slight fiber feeling and is very delicate to the touch. This feeling cannot be removed, otherwise it will be fake carbon fiber.

The manager complimented him: "When this pen was released that year, it was limited to only 50 pieces worldwide. It's really lucky, sir. You saw me as soon as I put it out. This pen is destined to belong to you."

The male manager looks about 35-40, and his height is about 175. Speaking of compliments, there is a little bit of envy in the sincerity, which makes people feel that the feelings should not be too real.

When a man flatters a man, Wu Xiang often feels goosebumps, but today he really didn't. He glanced at the manager and said, "How much is this pen?"

"Oh, let's talk about the price." The manager rubbed his hands and said with a slightly embarrassed smile on his face: "I just told you that there are only 50 pieces in the world. This one was collected by a boss before, but that The boss recently has some on hand... I understand.

But he was unwilling to put it in the auction house, and the pawn was too bad, so he put it on consignment in the store. At that time, the public price of RM S05 was 105000 knives, and now it is 210000 knives, which is the same price. No, but the warranty is absolutely covered, you can rest assured that Richard Mille will always cover it, do you think? "

Wu Qian didn't care about those things. Even if he wanted to imitate such a precise pen, not to mention the cost of materials, the cost of research and development alone was more than one million. Things with core technology were not so easy to imitate.

Just like the Patek Philippe on Wu Qian’s wrist, which sells for more than 2000 million, but if it is not for the craftsman of P·P, it may not be possible to imitate it for 3000 million. You can see the reason by referring to some high-tech technologies in various countries.

In Wu Qian’s view, luxury goods that only use expensive rare metals and precious stones have no soul. They must also have other amazing features to make them have a soul, either with a long history or a production that is too complicated to be imitated No matter how bad the craftsmanship is, even some illusory artistic sense is enough.

"Is there any ink?" Wu Qian raised the pen in his hand and asked with a smile.

The manager understood that this meant buying it, so he nodded immediately, and quickly brought out his own French J. Herbin ink and a piece of printing paper from the office.In order for Wu Qian to have an excellent writing experience, the manager did not hesitate to take out his own private goods.

"Mr. Wu, this ink is made by J.Herbin Company in France. This company was founded in 1670. It is the oldest ink sealant manufacturer in the world. It started as a sealing wax sealant. Their ink is rich and glossy. It feels very good, try it."

While talking, the manager shook the ink bottle, then opened the ink cap, and handed it to Wu Qian like a treasure. According to him, there was extremely fine gold powder at the bottom of the bottle, which needed to be shaken before use.A small bottle of ink, no more than 50ml, usually sells for around 300.

Wu Qian was a little surprised. He didn't expect the store manager of a luxury store to be so particular about this aspect. It seems that he is really too informal and has a lot to learn.

This is a bottle of blue ink, but it is not an ordinary blue. There is a label on the exquisite small square bottle, and the name of the color is written on the label: evergreen flower blue.Wu Qian picked up the pen and dipped it in the ink bottle. After the nib was full of ink, he raised the pen and wrote his name on the paper.

When writing, the writing feels soft and smooth without any sense of stagnation.

Although the word "Wu Qian" is not very beautifully written, it has to be said that the ink adds a lot to it.The color saturation of evergreen blue is high, the color is bright, with a feeling of crystal clearness, but without losing the simple texture, so it looks bluer, the blue is breathtaking, and the luster of the light gold powder adds a spirituality, making the two The word seems to come alive.

"Good pen, good ink, where did you buy this ink?" Wu Qian liked this kind of blue very much, and it gave him a sense of tranquility. As he spoke, Wu Qian handed the pen to Xiong Yali, and asked them to write too. try.

The manager smiled and said: "Mr. Wu's handwriting is really beautiful. This ink is for my personal use. If you like it, I have an unopened bottle of a more advanced elegant version. It is the same color as this one, with higher gold powder content. I will give it to you as a gift. Mr. Wu is also fine."

Wu Qian waved his hand and said, "I don't want to take advantage of you. Let's count together when swiping the card. I bought this pen."

The manager was overjoyed, and finally the deal was finalized, and he said repeatedly: "Mr. Wu is really out of touch, my bottle of ink was also brought back from France by a friend, to tell you the truth, it is more than 1500, and the invoice is still there, so I will pay 1500." Bar."

Wu Qian nodded to show that there is no problem, he has never had the habit of taking things from others for no reason.

The manager helped Wu Qian wash the pen, explained some precautions for use, and then found a box that did not match the pen well, and very generously presented two cufflinks, also made of carbon fiber, style It is very different from the cufflinks presented by Patek Philippe.

On the front of J.Herbin's brand new ink bottle, 1670 is printed on the golden wax seal, which shows this heavy historical accumulation all the time.Wu Qian lamented that sometimes it is not admiration of foreigners, this kind of delicacy to every detail is worth learning, and it is reasonable for it to be passed down for hundreds of years.

After swiping the card, Wu Qian and the two women walked out of the store under the envious eyes of several salesmen and customers, took the piece of paper with their names written on it, tore it up and threw it in the trash can.

"It's so particular, I can't write a few words in a month, and it costs about 150 million yuan for a pen, tsk tsk."

"Isn't it? If the business can't be negotiated or it can't be negotiated, what's the use of it?"

The manager looked at the backs of Wu Qian and the three leaving, smelling a sour vinegar smell in his nose, and secretly laughed at the ignorance of several customers, all he saw was the pen worth more than 100 million yuan, but the tens of millions of pens on their wrists The watch doesn't recognize it, and neither does the palladium card, which is really funny.

Just like the jokes on the Internet, I live in a villa of 800 square meters and play a piano worth 80 yuan, but you are envious of the 30 yuan Cartier bracelet on my wrist.

"What are you pretending to do? I haven't had enough fun yet." Wu Qian walked out of the store and found a rest chair in a shopping mall. He took out the RM S05 and held it in his hand and played it fondly. It felt like a real trip today. The shopping was not in vain, and I gained two favorite things.

A watch and a pen made Wu Qian discover that there are still many interesting things in the world waiting for him to experience and enjoy. He just needs to take his time, and there will always be a day when he meets them.

In the afternoon, when Wu Qian and his party walked out of the Hermès store in the International Financial Center, there was quite a commotion in an instant.

"My God, husband, when will you buy for me like this?"

"The two beauties are so happy that they explode, one, two, three, four, five, wow, six bags! I'm dizzy, I'm dizzy."

"I'm afraid the salesperson in the store didn't do it on purpose. Those three must be babysitters. Recently, the sales of luxury goods have dropped, and they are all trying to promote them. It's fake! It's too fake, so don't worry about it!"
