Endless Gods and Heroes

Except for these three watches, Wang Tieniu didn't like other styles. It's not that they don't look good, some styles look okay, but the price is too cheap and can't meet Wang Tieniu's bottom line. He usually won't give it. My own woman buys a watch worth less than a million dollars.

Just when the female saleswoman of Carl F. Bucherer was helping Han Qingyan and Elisa cut watch straps for them to wear on the spot, the steady-tempered foreign woman in her forties who had previously gone downstairs to talk to Wang Tieniu slowly walked up the stairs, and when he saw her coming up, Ackerman immediately waved to her enthusiastically, "Danni, this way."

"I want to introduce you to a relatively rare female watchmaker, and she is also the daughter of another watchmaker." Ackerman smiled and said to Wang Tieniu, "I believe there will be a very special relationship between you and her." There’s a lot of common language.”

The woman named Dani looked at Wang Tieniu who was sitting and chatting with Ackerman with some surprise. However, she and Ackerman had been friends and partners for many years, so she walked over directly and sat down with Ackerman. Kerman's side, Wang Tieniu's opposite.

"Danny, let me introduce to you. This is Iron Bull King from China. He has his own unique insights into watch collection. I have benefited a lot from communicating with him." Ackerman introduced to both parties with a smile. "Wang, this is watchmaker Dani. She is also one of the producers of the independent watchmaker Philippe Duval. Many of the watches produced by Philippe Duval are engraved with her name.

"Philippe Dufour?" Wang Tieniu touched his chin. He basically paid no attention to independent watch brands [so the expression on his face clearly showed that he had not heard of this island brand.

"I just heard Mr. Wang say that he only likes better watches, and I don't know which watches will suit Mr. Wang's eyes. Danni's words couldn't help but have a bit of a prick, because Philippe Dufour is very famous. An independent watchmaking brand, it is particularly popular among European and American collectors. Even the most ordinary manual small three-hand watch can be sold for a sky-high price of more than 4 million yuan. Wang Tieniu has never heard of it?

Before Wang Tieniu could react, Ackerman couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. Anyone else would have been dissed by Dani 99% of the time, because Dani was wearing a big and small sonic three questions on her hand. rose gold watch, but obviously Wang Tieniu will not be one of them, because the salmon he is wearing is qualified to diss anyone.

"These pieces from Carl F. Bucherer are pretty good." Wang Tieniu pointed at Ackermann with a smile. "The tourbillon minute repeater is quite distinctive."

"Thank you for your compliment~". "Ackerman actually felt flattered. It was indeed a matter of pride for him to be recognized by a watch player of Wang Tieniu's level, so he took out a watch from the inner pocket of his suit without hesitation. Zhang handed over the business card with both hands, "Mr. Wang, if you want to customize some rare watches or are looking for some special watches, please contact me. "

Seeing Wang Tieniu accept Ackerman's business card, Dani suddenly felt a little ashamed. Wang Tieniu's behavior of using force made her a bit aggressive in comparison, because in order to make up for her image in front of Wang Tieniu, especially Ackerman, , she thought for a while and smiled and sent out the invitation, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I take back what I just said, you really have great taste." Then I wonder if I can have the honor to invite you to the Ru Valley as a guest? I think my father, Mr. Dufo, must also be very good. I’d like to meet you, a rising star in the collecting world.”

"The Ru Valley is the important watchmaking town of our Ruilian. The watch factories of Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger-LeCoultre and other brands are all located there, and Mr. Dufault's handicraft workshop is also located there." Ackerman helped Danni on the side While doing the explanation work, he saw that Wang Tieniu really didn’t know anything about Philippe Duval, a famous independent watch brand. “You must know that Mr. Philippe Duval is known as the God of Watches in today’s watch industry.”

"So awesome?" Wang Tieniu raised his eyebrows. Those who can get such a title are definitely not in vain. It seems that he is really going to Ru Valley. "I will stay in Ruilian for a while. Wait for me After returning from skiing in St. Moritz, I went to the Vallée de Joux to pay a visit to Mr. Dufault.”

Seeing that Wang Tieniu agreed to her invitation, Dani also took out a small business card from her handbag and handed it to Wang Tieniu. In fact, until now, she only extended the invitation to save Ackerman's face, because Wang Tieniu bought more than 600,000 Swiss francs of Bucherer watches, which can be regarded as taking good care of business.

Seeing Han Qingyan and Elisa in front of the counter, both of them had finished adjusting the watch straps. At this time, they both put the two beautiful wrists together with great interest and admired the two rainbow circle watches. Wang Tieniu He naturally stood up and walked towards them, "So beautiful."

"It's inconvenient to roll up the sleeves because of the many clothes in winter. Wait until summer to match the clothes properly." Han Qingyan took advantage of the situation and took Wang Tieniu's arm and kissed him on the face.

After seeing Wang Tieniu stand up, Ackerman and Dani also stood up from their chairs politely, and Ackerman stood at the stairs with a smile. He wanted to personally see Wang Tieniu to the door.

"By the way, Mr. Ackerman." Just after walking out of Kruz's door, Wang Tieniu heard the music at the door again. He stopped and looked at him as if he remembered something and asked, "These dolls are quite interesting. Where can I order them?" Do it?"

"I really don't know about this." Ackerman laughed. "But these dolls are not difficult at all. If you go to Jacques Droz, they can customize them for you that are ten thousand times more sophisticated than this."

"Jacques Droz still accepts custom orders?" Wang Tieniu looked at Ackerman with wide eyes. Among his goddesses, Ning Wei, Yang Xiaohua, sisters Bai Xiaoqing, Bai Xiaoshuang, and Yu Shishi were all wearing Jacques Droz. Their puppets It is indeed unique in the world.

"They only accept customization." Ackerman shrugged and said. "In April last year, they issued a statement that they would stop producing watches under 100,000 Swiss francs and specialize in high-end customization. They will produce customized watches according to customer needs. Including tourbillons. Flywheels, minute repeaters, movable figures, enamel, special craft gem inlays, and even movable figures other than luxury watches can all be customized.”

Seeing Wang Tieniu's eyes shining with light that was almost visible to the naked eye, Ackerman took out his mobile phone and said to Wang Tieniu, "I met Mr. Raz, the new CEO of Jacques Droz, when he was working at Omega. Later he He went to Blancpain as the vice president of marketing. Last year he took over Jacques Droz. The brand strategy of canceling mass production and focusing on high-end customization was exactly what he made not long after taking over. If you want to get to know him, Mr. Wang I would be happy to introduce him to you.”

"`||Then what are you waiting for?" Wang Tieniu laughed and said confidently, "Mr. Ackerman, you can tell him very directly that the big customer is coming!" After that, he called Ning Wei and other goddesses to his side. , allowing them to proudly show off their entire collection of action figures to Ackerman.

"I understand!" Ackerman took a breath. These collection-level watches were treated so casually by them as commuter watches. It seemed that this rich man was more generous to his woman than he could have imagined. .

Far away in Geneva, Reliance, a middle-aged man over 50 with only some sparse hair on the top of his head was leaning on his chair with a serious face and looking at the report in his hand.

Jacques Droz is part of the watch giant Swatch Group. According to the financial report, the operating profit margin of Swatch Group's watch and jewelry business increased by 1.3% compared with last year. This cannot be said to be a good data.

For him, the Jaquet Droz brand managed by Raz, the situation is much more severe. You must know that the ones that have achieved substantial growth are Tissot, Omega, Longines, Harry Winston and even the namesake brand of the group. The brand Swatch has nothing to do with Jaquet Droz!

Yes, this basically proves that his announced strategic vision 8 (Hao Zhao Zhao).0, that is, the decision to stop production of watches, suffered a complete failure. The advanced customization business that he had high hopes for did not bring benefits to the brand. Huge profits, in fact, collectors are more willing to spend big money to pursue independent watch brands such as Philippe Duval, Greubel Forsey, Juna, etc. rather than choosing Jacques Droz.

Thinking of this, he pinched his eyebrows helplessly, and some thoughts of hitting his head again were forcibly stopped by him, and when he was worried, his phone suddenly came up.

"Good morning Ackerman, why did you suddenly remember to call me?" Raz greeted Ackerman casually. After all, the two have known each other for many years.

"Haha Raz, last year's financial report was not satisfactory. Have you thought of any good ideas?" Ackman greeted him with a smile.

"Shit, did you come here specifically to laugh at me? I really didn't expect you to do this." Raz pretended to be angry and said, "In order to make up for the harm you caused me, how about leaving me a counter space in your store?" Like? I think I need to clear out all the mid- to low-end watches in stock.

"That's not a good idea, Raz." Ackerman chuckled. "Because I have a better proposal."
