After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 565 Expensive Patek Philippe Watch

Ms. Ye was also a little surprised that Li Zhuo bought this car.

She originally planned to buy Li Zhuo a sports car, but now it seems that there is no need for it, unless she buys a more expensive supercar, but the cost will be relatively high.

She quickly changed her mind.

On the afternoon of the next day, one car after another was allowed to drive into the mansion area of ​​Repulse Bay and come to visit No. 108 Repulse Bay.

Ms. Ye and Ye Wei were both at Li Zhuo's house, drinking tea and chatting.

When the first car came, Ye Wei hurried home after receiving the call.

The staff of the Chanel store drove over and delivered her 126 bags.

Everyone also followed and went to Villa E bought by Ms. Ye.

Even though this villa is larger and has more space, putting 126 bags and packaging boxes in the living room on the first floor still seems a bit cumbersome.

Ms. Ye was a little dumbfounded:
"I bought too many. I feel that Ye Wei will never lack Chanel bags in his life. No matter what occasion he goes to, he can pick out a matching bag."

Li Zhuo spent more than 400 million yuan to buy the bag, so this must be the result.

Li Zhuo explained:
"At that time, I saw that Chanel's bags were pretty good, and none of the designs were beautiful. I happened to want to spend some money, so I bought them. They weren't too many, and they must be useful for various occasions."

Ms. Ye nodded and bought something for her daughter. She was still happy.

Ye Wei was also very happy and said with a smile:

"Mom, take your and godmother's bags from here too. I won't be able to use them all anyway, so it's just right for you."

Ms. Ye smiled and said:
"My daughter is still filial, so let's choose two."

She took Ma Li with her, first unpacking the box, and then choosing the package.

It took nearly half an hour to unpack all the bags.

Not long after, Ms. Ye's phone rang. After she answered it, she opened the door to the living room.

Half a minute later, two staff members, a man and a woman, came in.

They were all wearing suits and leather shoes and bowed when they came in. The female staff member was holding a black box in her hand.

She took the initiative to introduce:

"Hello, Ms. Ye, hello bosses and ladies, we are employees of the Patek Philippe Hong Kong store. The Patek Philippe super complication timepiece 5208R-001 that Ms. Ye ordered in our store has been deployed from Macau. We are worried that you need it urgently, so we will Delivered it as quickly as possible."

Ms. Ye nodded and smiled:

"Thank you. Please come and sit in the living room."

The two staff members were a little embarrassed when they looked at the Chanel bags and boxes on the floor.

Li Zhuo smiled and said:

"It's a bit messy, otherwise you can go to our house. There is still some inconvenience here for the time being."

Ms. Ye nodded, and they all followed Li Zhuo to Villa B bought by Li Zhuo.

After arriving home, everyone sat down in the living room.

The staff then put on white gloves, carefully opened the wooden box, and took out a black enamel watch box with the Patek Philippe logo printed on it.

After opening it again, the staff carefully took out a men's watch.

This watch looks very complicated. It has a rose gold case and an ebony black sunburst dial. It looks like a metallic luster is shining, which is very clear and eye-catching.

The female staff member introduced:

"Ms. Ye, the craftsmanship of this 5208R-001 movement is very complex. It contains a total of 719 parts. It has three complex functions: minute repeater, single-button flyback chronograph, and window-type instantaneous perpetual calendar. It also has three-eye chronograph, day and night Display and other functions, it is an extremely rare self-winding super complex movement.”

"Its dial is an ebony black sunburst dial, gold three-dimensional hour markers, 18k gold dial, the case is rose gold, has hollow lugs, moisture-proof and dust-proof, the diameter is 42 mm, it is a men's watch. The strap is Square scale crocodile leather, hand-stitched, matte black..." In fact, Li Zhuo was the only one here who knew a little about watches, so he asked:

"Doesn't it have a tourbillon function?"

The three major complex functions of the watch bezel are tourbillon, minute repeater, and perpetual calendar, one of which is missing.

The staff turned the dial to the back for Li Zhuo to see. Through the hollow rose gold back case, the rotating oscillating weight and automatic rotor could be clearly seen. Indeed, there was no spherical tourbillon.

The female staff member explained:

"In the evaluation system of the Patek Philippe factory, it is believed that the complexity and level of the single-button flyback chronograph + automatic tourbillon is half a level higher than that of the tourbillon. Patek Philippe has basically never produced a single tourbillon watch."

With that said, Li Zhuo understands that those who like to use the tourbillon function the most are actually emerging luxury watch brands such as Richard Mille and Czech Leopard. Watch brands with established foundations generally do not behave like nouveau riche.

This Patek Philippe watch combines three major complex functions, so its value is definitely not high.

Ms. Ye had already paid for this watch, so the staff no longer mentioned its price.

Finally, the staff pushed a button on the side of the watch case. It made a crisp sound, and then it turned on the time reporting function.

First a very clear sound came, and after a few sounds, there was a "ding-dong" sound that simulated the sound of church bells, which was very pleasant to the ear.

The staff turned the watch over and could clearly see the automatic rotor spinning, and the pendulum on one side was driven to hit the side wall, making a crisp sound.

The level of mechanical craftsmanship is really amazing. No wonder Patek Philippe watches are so expensive.

Li Zhuo checked online and found that the price of this 5208R-001 watch in China is 620 million yuan, but it is slightly cheaper in Hong Kong, at 640 million Hong Kong dollars, which is almost 600 million yuan.

In the secondary market, its price is only high but not low, and it has the function of preserving value.

After the staff left, Ms. Ye left her watch with Li Zhuo:
"I bought it for you as a gift to thank you for buying so many bags for Ye Wei. You can wear it. When you go out to do business, wearing a watch like this is still useful."

Li Zhuo expressed his gratitude and accepted it.

There is no need to refuse, and he is not short of money now. If he encounters something good in the future, he can buy it for Ms. Ye and his daughter.

Today was a happy day. Li Zhuo didn't let Li Ma cook dinner. He got in the car and took the two families out to eat.

This time he asked someone to make a reservation at the restaurant "Good Wine and Good Cai" opened by Cai Lam. This restaurant is famous because the chef is famous and currently has three Michelin stars.

The dishes here are set meals, just order the set meal.

The appetizer is the seasonal two small butterflies and the special stomach-warming soup.

The appetizers are Teochew frozen fish rice with caviar and crab rice rolls with avocado.

The main course is——

Chaozhou fresh crab meat stir-fried hook fin, nine-story pagoda clear soup conch slices.

Braised sea bream with scales, puning bean paste, herb grilled chicken, and crispy ginseng.

The staple food is Teochew vegetable preserved meat fried rice.

Dessert is pistachio peach gum mixed with brown sugar cake.

After finishing the meal, the overall feeling is that the environment is quiet and the privacy is high. Except for a few dishes that are not up to par, everything else is still good. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is one of the ceilings of Chaozhou cuisine.

However, the prices at his restaurant are not low, at 2000 yuan per person, the price-performance ratio is just that.

After dinner, Li Zhuo sent them to find a seed shop.

That's right, the talent of the Chinese people is that they want to grow vegetables wherever they go.
