After rebirth, I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 256 The Qianmen of the Imperial Capital [-] The Only King

During the rare holiday, Xia Chuan took to the street wearing short-sleeved shorts and sunglasses.

People with temperament are different everywhere, and they attract a lot of attention when they walk on the road. Temperament is something that can be cultivated the day after tomorrow.

Pei Ying's demeanor has been well cultivated, and she is becoming more and more like a secretary.

On the contrary, Li Huina's appearance is more like a liar's maid.

Under the leadership of Li Huina, Xia Chuan visited some places that were not interesting to him, but it was interesting and attractive to go out if he had to spend money.

Traveling without consumption is really meaningless.

"Aren't you going to the Forbidden City?"

"Let's not go to the Forbidden City."

The college entrance examination has just ended recently, and there are too many people who come to Yanjing for tourism. Now they 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 will go in the off-season. Going in the peak season is purely to make himself uncomfortable: “I’ll go later when I’m interested. I’ll buy a watch. I remember that Patek Philippe is in Wangfujing Commercial Street. Bar?"

The previous Rolex Submariner was thrown to Ruan Shaofeng, and now he wants to exchange for a better one.

Vacheron Constantin and Richard Mille are not as powerful as Patek Philippe.

As one of the most famous high-end watch brands in the world, Patek Philippe is famous for its high quality, high technology and high design.The manufacturing process of clocks and watches is very exquisite, and traditional techniques have been handed down for centuries.

In addition, he knew about it long before he came out, and he also has a dream expression in his heart.

Since he went to Patek Philippe, he came prepared.

"Boss Xia, that was really asked by you. Do you think I understand what these rich people play?"

"The rich man is a bit exaggerated."

Xia Chuan couldn't help but laugh.

Pei Ying thinks what Li Huina said is right. Buying a watch for hundreds of thousands of dollars is equivalent to wearing a set of clothes. What is the way to play if you are not a rich man?

At least in the eyes of ordinary people, it is difficult to understand.

According to their consumption concept, a mobile phone is enough to check the time, and there is no need to wear a watch at all. However, as the boss of a large company, Pei Ying feels that Xia Chuan really needs this thing, and he still needs it when going out.

There was a Rolex before, and with his temperament, he could tell at a glance that Xia Chuan was not an ordinary person.

Thinking of this, Pei Ying realized that Xia Chuan's watch was gone.

When did it happen?
Li Huina shook her head, Xia Chuan asked her the fact that she had never been in contact with it for nothing, asked her that she knew a little about musical instruments, playing the piano, and flute, and asked her about watches...

It has to be Xia Chuan, who will ask.

"If you don't want to go, go to the Wangfujing business district. It's the most famous luxury shopping mall in Yanjing, right?"

In fact, Li Huina is not sure either.

She has been there once, but she only came out after a while. She didn't go to any luxury stores. Although the living expenses provided by her family are quite objective, it's better to save money when she goes there. She can't afford anything.

If Xia Chuan goes there, he can also take her to learn a lot.

Only by following behind the boss can one gain insight.

Although the Xia Chuan in front of him is young, he can really be called a big boss, and everyone who comes into contact with him is also a big boss.

Only then did Xia Chuan remember that Du Yongchao was in Yanjing. He wondered if he had woken up after drinking like that yesterday.

"Wait a minute, I'll make a call."

"Ah."

Xia Chuan called Du Yongchao, but he was a little surprised that the other party had already woken up.

"Brother Xia, I fell into your hands yesterday, and now I'm dying of a headache, what's the matter?"

"I want to buy a watch, is Wangfujing okay?"

"Wangfujing has a lot of luxury goods, what watch should I buy?"

"Patek Philippe."

Du Yongchao reminded: "What kind of Wangfujing is it to buy a Patek Philippe? I took you to a place. Where are you now?"

"I'm just downstairs from the hotel."

"Sit down, wait for me for 10 minutes, and I will come to 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 luxury house in Yanjing."

"normal."

Rich people basically have one thing in front of them, one thing behind their backs, and maybe another thing abroad.He has little money now, and it will be the same when he has money.

As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit has three caves.

For someone like him who needs a golden house to hide his beauty, it's not enough if he doesn't buy it.

Xia Chuan was not very interested in Du Yongchao's mansion, no matter how good it was, it belonged to him, so he sat down at a time-honored breakfast restaurant.

I tasted the most famous fried liver in Xiadidu. The taste can only be said to be quite satisfactory. On the contrary, Xia Chuan prefers stewed liver. He also made a butter fried cake, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, full of milky fragrance.

Not long after, Du Yongchao walked in with his greasy back.

Xia Chuan raised his head: "Have you eaten yet?"

"After eating, how many days will you stay in Yanjing?" Du Yongchao asked.

"Leave tomorrow."

Although Du Yongchao is old, but not psychologically, like him, he will always like him, young and beautiful, likes to drink and wash his feet, and he likes the other person he loves, so the two can chat together, as if there is no generation gap.

After getting into the business car, Xia Chuan sat on the suede seat and moaned comfortably: "How much is it worth to buy this car?"

"It's cheap. It's not as expensive as you imagined. It's the most suitable for the company to receive VIPs. You even bought a Maybach [-]s for reception. You are really rich and powerful. It's pure waste. What kind of VIPs need you to drive in a Maybach every day? ?”

"Ha ha…"

Xia Chuan laughed dryly, because what the other party said was indeed reasonable. On the one hand, he bought the Maybach because he wanted to save face.

Pei Ying secretly wrote down the model of the car, and she thought 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 old embassy has been built, and the compound composed of five gray brick western-style buildings is right in the Forbidden City."

"The Forbidden City?"

"Yes, unexpected, there is the most professional Patek Philippe counter in China."

Du Yongchao raised the Patek Philippe in his hand: "Can you tell what model it is?"

Xia Chuan scrutinized it for a while, then frowned: "Is it so exaggerated?"

If the low-end ones, he really wouldn’t be able to recognize them, but if he looked closely at the high-end ones, he would recognize them. Who told him to have a good memory and only remember the most high-end ones.

It’s like an ordinary person recognizes a car, Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, and he can report the model in an instant, but when you drive a slightly lower-medium car, he stutters and hesitates to say why. Come on, people are like this, they come according to their preferences.

"It's not an exaggeration at all. There are a lot more exaggerated watches than this one. I can only count it as meaning."

Du Yongchao touched the 5002G on his wrist, and smiled: "However, wearing this at your age will make you look old. Choose a more flamboyant one. When you go out, people will see that you are a nouveau riche."

"..."

The corner of Xia Chuan's mouth twitched, are you an upstart?

He does not deny this title. Others are family businesses passed down from generation to generation. He is really like a nouveau riche. He took off directly in a year and a half, and stepped on the cusp of mobile games.

To say he was an upstart would be a good thing.

As a human being, you have to know how to recognize yourself. If you want to say what kind of background he has, he doesn’t have any background. He only has money, and he has accumulated a little bit of relationship. In a few years, if anyone says that he is an upstart, he will be really unhappy. up.

He had heard that a Patek Philippe was auctioned on Only Watch before, worth more than 2 million yuan. According to this, in the circle of the super rich, such a 5002G is indeed not too exaggerated to be prohibitive.

The car gradually arrived near the Forbidden City, but instead of passing, it turned elsewhere.

Du Yongchao said: "If I don't bring you here, you certainly don't know. Basically, people who come to Yanjing go to the Wangfujing luxury store. You see, the Forbidden City is only a kilometer to the north, and the railway station is across the street from the south. This place was Dongjiaomin Lane back then, and people of the older generation know it, but if you’re not a local, you probably haven’t heard of it.”

"I've never heard of it."

Xia Chuan looked at the quaint courtyards, courtyard houses, villas?

"It doesn't look like a place that sells things at all. It's more like the Mingguo Mansion on Jihe Road in Jinling. It's not a place where ordinary people live. Rich people have to bend over when entering, haha..."

"You are really right. It used to be, but it is not now. Earth-shaking changes have taken place a long time ago. However, the five small western-style buildings, watchtowers, and the old station have been completely preserved, mainly in [-]. In conjunction with the hosting of the Olympic Games..."

"Brother Du, are you from the imperial capital?"

Xia Chuan asked.

The corner of Du Yongchao's mouth turned up: "Your sister-in-law is from the Imperial City. She met in the Imperial City when she was in school. The family is wealthy, but she was fascinated by me. It can be considered a marriage, but it is a happy marriage. My family is also pretty good."

"Aren't you the door-to-door son-in-law?"

"Young Nima is talking nonsense."

The corner of Du Yongchao's mouth twitched, he was not right to be a door-to-door son-in-law looking at people's faces, especially at that time, it was different from now, he would really be stabbed to death by someone's spine.

"Hahaha…"

"Is it more comfortable for me to be your tour guide? You were not willing before. Have you seen No. 23 at the front door?"

Du Yongchao pointed to the gate: "This is not a place where all the merchants pay for their business. Only brands that meet the commercial positioning of Qianmen No. 23 can enter. More importantly, not everyone dares to enter here. For luxury goods and As far as high-end restaurants are concerned, in terms of environment and geographical location, they are impeccable and almost perfect, but there is a fatal flaw for business."

"There is less traffic."

"Mr. Xia is worthy of being Mr. Xia. Yes, the most important thing here is that the flow of people is too small."

Xia Chuan was thoughtful, and it is true that only Patek Philippe can stand in this area, because there is no need for traffic.

This thing is someone who came to buy it, such as him.

"So there's only one store here?"

"Yes, some time ago there were big luxury brands intending to enter, but because this place is a bit quiet, there is no way, and finally went to Wangfujing, where there is only 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 to be crowded with other people. Hehe, how many people buy it because of this attitude. "

"It's not unreasonable for people to succeed in marketing."

Hearing these words, there was a special mood in his ears.

Xia Chuan now knows one thing, that is, if you want to buy a watch, you’d better go to Wangfujing, SKP, etc. There are many brands, so there is a comparison; but if you have Patek Philippe in your preliminary list, just go directly to No. 23, Qianmen , because there is no need to compare.

No. 23 Qianmen, only Patek Philippe can open a store here, and only Patek Philippe dares to open a store here.

The gray villa is called the Imperial Capital Yuandi.

It used to be called Patek Philippe, but now it has been remodeled and reopened.The new outfit strives to maintain the same style as the Patek Philippe Salon in Geneva and the Mansion in Shanghai. The president of Patek Philippe personally checks every detail, making the mansion of the Stern family in the imperial capital as exquisite and moving as their own wristwatch.

That sense of nobility has already begun when entering the gate of No. 23.

There are only a few Chinese and English characters of "Qianmen No. 23" on a large gray screen with extraordinary style. Like many courtyards in the imperial capital, people who don't know the inside story still can't imagine what will happen here.

Turning around the screen, the hustle and bustle of Qianmen Street is instantly cut off. There is a wide lawn and five unique small western-style buildings.

The little arrogance in Xia Chuan's heart, because of the arrogance brought about by money, also restrained a little.

After entering the main entrance, Xia Chuan and Du Yongchao chatted calmly and entered.

A guy like Du Yongchao brought him here personally, wearing a small villa in his hand, what else can't be controlled?

On the other hand, Pei Ying and Li Huina were immediately overwhelmed when they came back to such a place for the first time, and they were numb.

Turning left is the reception area, which is extremely luxurious.

The details in all aspects can only be said to be more exaggerated than most of the five-star hotels on the market. As expected, the president personally supervised the work, and the quality has directly improved.

Magnificent, but without losing the elegant style, every piece of decoration is just right without being obtrusive, as if they should be there by themselves, this is the charm of the design.

Letting someone from the School of Design come over, such as Ruan Shuning, should gain a lot of insight.

In his opinion, it is like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, devouring it voraciously, unable to taste any taste.

Patek Philippe's iconic logo, a dazzling array of counters.

The salesman smiled from the corner of his eyes, as if looking at his lover.

This kind of look Xia Chuan is too familiar, they know men too well, they obviously have undergone professional training, plus they are all highly educated, knowledgeable, combined with the working environment, just like ordinary people look at flight attendants, Feel different, completely give you a different sense, and even generate some unnecessary thoughts.

"We made an appointment an hour ago. My surname is Xia."

"Hello, Mr. Xia, I am your personal butler. You can call me Xiaoren. Do you have any goals before you come?"

Deng Keren, a very awkward name.

Du Yongchao said: "I remember that there is one in your store, 6104G?"

"Yes, sir, you mean our Patek Philippe starry sky model."

Noticing the 5002G on Du Yongchao's wrist, Deng Keren knew that these identities were unusual.

Du Yongchao looked at Xia Chuan: "I remember you said 6104G, if there is none here, you can only fly to Geneva once."

"Yes, for the starry sky, I have only seen pictures."

He is a layman, and he is still a good-looking dog. Follow the good looks and avoid detours, just take one step to the stomach.

Deng Keren didn't talk nonsense, no matter how much he said, it would not be as satisfying as the customer's first glance, and immediately led a few people to a specific counter: "Sir, are you referring to this one?"

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 Rolex Submariner. Many watches, even the appearance of Vacheron Constantin, can’t shake him. I can only say that there are very few. The starry sky is really beautiful, and I can’t forget it at a glance.

It is particularly dazzling under the light, the unique blue color of the dial, the feeling of stars and moons combined with a large circle of diamonds on the outer ring, instantly moved Xia Chuan's heart.

Maybe watches are just like women, they all feel love at first sight.

To put it bluntly, it is gluttonous.

This touch of blue is really unique and charming, and the big T diamond echoes the blue of the dial.

Under the recommendation of the salesman, Xia Chuan wore it to experience it.

The positions of the two handles are staggered, they don’t hurt the hand, and the design is very good. He thinks the lantern buckle is perfect, the movement is pearl rudder, small and exquisite...

It's also beautifully priced, almost as good as a Bentley.

Xia Chuan didn't feel any pain when buying things he liked. For about an hour or so, Pei Ying and Li Huina couldn't sit still. They watched and watched, and even the price of an entry-level Patek Philippe made them daunting.

After leaving the Yuan Mansion of the Imperial Capital, Xia Chuan felt comfortable with his hands in his pockets. He has been taken into a trap now, and he will look down on cheap ones in the future.

Once your vision is up and you think about it, it's like getting used to the extravagant life and suddenly you are asked to participate in the Transformation Project. Who can resist this?
In the private restaurant at noon, after drinking some wine, Xia Chuan asked curiously, "Then sister-in-law is also in the imperial capital?"

"She ran around, tossed and told me that she would leave in September at the most."

With a woman around, Du Yongchao didn't say some things.

Xia Chuan nodded: "Brother Du, come, let me toast you."

"Hey…"

"It should be."

The two of them were drinking out of the world, and this time they didn't fight wine. It turned out that Du Yongchao came here to discuss business, and he was going to another place soon. He was very busy, so he came to entertain him for a day or two. Usually, the two of them don't have time to meet each other, and they don't see each other a few times, even if they are in Jinling.

After lunch, Du Yongchao left by car.

At present, Xia Chuan has nothing to pursue in his heart. He glances at his watch from time to time, and he is very happy that he has obtained a good toy. In a short time, there will be no moths in his heart.

Wangfujing, a shopping mall.

"Xia Chuan, how about this one?"

"good…"

In the afternoon, I accompanied Li Huina on a date, but she didn't go for long, and she had to record a show in the evening.

After Xia Chuan returned to the hotel, he exercised until after nine o'clock. After taking a shower, he talked on the phone with Jiang He. Now he is even clingier than Li Huina. His voice is as crisp and sweet as frosted sugar cane, sweet and sweet. It's refreshing.
