After rebirth, I just want to win - Chapter 256 The only king at the front gate of the imperial capital

Chapter 256 The only king at the front gate of the imperial capital 23

On a rare holiday, Xia Chuan went out on the street wearing short-sleeved shorts and sunglasses.

This temperamental person is different everywhere. He attracts a lot of attention when walking on the road. Temperament is something that can be cultivated.

Pei Ying’s manners have been cultivated well, and she is becoming more and more like a secretary.

On the other hand, Li Huina looked more like a liar maid.

Under the leadership of Li Huina, Xia Chuan visited some places that were not interesting to him. As expected, going out has to be spent to be interesting and attractive.

Traveling without consumption is indeed 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 visiting Yanjing. Now, going to the Forbidden City is not to play, but to queue.

Of course Xia Chuan doesn’t want to go to scenic spots. Even if he goes to these places, he would go in the off-season. Going in the peak season would just make himself uncomfortable: “I will go there later when I am interested. I will buy a watch. I remember the Patek Philippe is in Wangfujing Commercial Street.” Bar?”

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

Vacheron Constantin and Richard Mille are not as impactful 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 craftsmanship of clocks and watches is very exquisite, and traditional techniques have been passed down for centuries.

In addition, he had already understood it before he came out, and he also had a dream expression in his heart.

Since he went to Patek Philippe, he naturally came prepared.

“Boss Xia, you really asked me that. Do you think I understand these things that only rich people play?”

“The rich guy is exaggerating a bit.”

Xia Chuan couldn’t help laughing.

Pei Ying thinks Li Huina is right. Buying a watch with hundreds of thousands of dollars is equivalent to wearing a house on your hand. What is the way to play if you are not a rich man?

At least in their ordinary eyes, it is simply 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. However, as the boss of a large company, Pei Ying felt that Xia Chuan did need this thing, and he still needed it when going out.

I had a Rolex before, and with his temperament, you could tell at a glance that Xia Chuan was no ordinary person.

After thinking about it, Pei Ying realized that Xia Chuan’s watch was gone.

When did it happen?

Li Huina shook her head. Xia Chuan asked her if this was something she had never done before. She knew a little about musical instruments, piano and flute. Asking her about watches was really…

It has to be Xia Chuan who knows how to ask.

“How about going to Wangfujing Business District? It’s the most famous luxury shopping mall in Yanjing, right?”

In fact, Li Huina was not sure either.

She went there once, but it only lasted a while. She didn’t go to any luxury stores. Although the living expenses provided by her family were quite reasonable, she had better save money when she went there because she couldn’t afford anything.

If Xia Chuan goes there, he can take her to have a long experience.

Only by following the boss can you gain knowledge.

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

Xia Chuan then remembered that Du Yongchao was in Yanjing and wondered if he had woken up after drinking like that yesterday.

“Wait a minute, I’ll make a call.”

“Um.”

Xia Chuan dialed Du Yongchao’s number, but he was a little surprised that the other party was already up.

“Brother Xia, I fell into your hands yesterday. I have a terrible headache now. What’s the matter?”

“I want to buy a watch. Is Wangfujing okay?”

“Wangfujing has a lot of luxury goods, what kind of watch should I buy?”

“Patek Philippe.”

Du Yongchao reminded: “Where are you going to Wangfujing to buy a Patek Philippe? I will take you to a place. Where are you now?”

“I’m just downstairs in the hotel.”

“Sit down and wait for me for twenty minutes. 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 mansion in Yanjing.”

“normal.”

Rich people basically do one thing in front of them and another thing behind their backs, and maybe another thing abroad. He has little money now, and it will be the same when he gets rich. He does one thing in front of him and another behind his back.

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows.

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 didn’t have much interest in Du Yongchao’s mansion. No matter how nice it was, it belonged to someone else, so he found a time-honored breakfast restaurant to sit down.

After trying the most famous stir-fried liver in Imperial City, the taste was just average. On the contrary, Xia Chuan liked the braised liver more. He also made a butter fried cake, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a milky aroma.

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

Xia Chuan raised his head: “Have you eaten?”

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

“Leaving tomorrow.”

Although Du Yongchao is older, he is not older mentally. Like him, he always likes eighteen-year-old, young and beautiful people. He likes drinking and washing feet. He also likes the other person he loves, so the two of them can chat together, as if there is no generation gap. Similar.

After getting into the commercial car, Xia Chuan sat on the suede leather seat and groaned comfortably: “How much does it cost to buy this car and modify it?”

“It’s cheap. It’s not as expensive as you think. It’s most suitable for companies to use to entertain VIPs. You also bought a Maybach 62s to entertain guests. You are really rich and wasted. What kind of VIPs need you to drive a Maybach to visit them every day?” ?”

“Ha ha…”

Xia Chuan laughed twice, 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. 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 former embassy has been built. It is a compound composed of five gray brick western-style buildings, right in the Forbidden City.”

“Forbidden City?”

“Yes, you can’t believe it. There is one of the most professional Patek Philippe counters in the country.”

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

Xia Chuan looked at it for a while and frowned: “Is it so exaggerated?”

He really can’t recognize the low-end ones, but he can recognize the high-end ones after looking carefully. Who knows that he has a good memory and only remembers the highest-end ones.

It’s like an ordinary person recognizing a car. When a Lamborghini, Ferrari, or McLaren drives in front of him, he can instantly tell the model. But if you drive a lower-to-average car, he will stutter and hesitate to explain. Come on, people are like this, they come according to their preferences.

“It’s not an exaggeration at all. There are many more exaggerated expressions than this. I can only take it as a meaning.”

Du Yongchao touched the 5002G on his wrist and smiled: “But at your age, wearing this makes you look older. Choose something a little more flamboyant. People will see that you are a nouveau riche when you go out.”

“…….”

Xia Chuan’s mouth twitched, nouveau riche?

He does not deny this title. Others have a family business that is passed down from generation to generation. He is really like a nouveau riche. He took off directly within a year and a half, and he is on the cusp of mobile gaming.

To say that he is a nouveau riche is quite accurate.

As a person, you must know how to recognize yourself, what kind of background he has, and what kind of background he does not have. Not only does he have money, but he also accumulates connections bit by bit. In a few years, if anyone says that he is a nouveau riche, he will really not be happy. .

He had heard of a unique Patek Philippe auctioned on only watch before, worth more than 200 million. According to this, in the circle of super rich people, such a 5002G is indeed not exaggerated to the point of being prohibitive.

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

Du Yongchao said: “If I didn’t bring you here, you would definitely not know that most people who come to Yanjing go to the Wangfujing luxury store. You see, the Forbidden City is only a thousand meters to the north, and across the street to the south is the former train station. This place was the Dongjiao Minxiang in those days, and the older generation knows about it, but you probably haven’t heard of it if you’re not from here.”

“I certainly haven’t heard of it.”

Xia Chuan looked at the quaint courtyard, courtyard, villa?

“This place doesn’t look like a place to sell things. It looks more like the Mingguo Mansion on Jihe Road in Jinling. It’s not a place for ordinary people to live. Rich people have to bend down when entering, haha…”

“You’re really right. It used to be the case, but it’s not now. Earth-shaking changes have happened long ago. However, these five small western-style buildings, the arrow tower, and the old station are still completely preserved. Mainly because of them in 2005. In conjunction with the hosting of the Olympic Games…”

“Brother Du, are you from your hometown, the Imperial Capital?”

Xia Chuan asked.

The corner of Du Yongchao’s mouth rose: “Your sister-in-law is from Imperial City. I met her when I was in school. Her family is very rich, but she is fascinated by me. It is considered a marriage, but it is a happy marriage. My family is also quite good.”

“Aren’t you the son-in-law who comes here?”

“Young man, that’s nonsense.”

Du Yongchao’s mouth twitched. He didn’t think it was right for a son-in-law who came to visit someone to look at people’s faces. Especially at that time, it was different from now. He really wanted to be stabbed to death in the spine.

“Hahaha…”

“Would it be more comfortable for me to be your tour guide? You were unwilling before. Have you seen No. 23 at the front door?”

Du Yongchao pointed to the door: “Not all merchants are allowed to enter here for 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 For high-end restaurants, the environment and location here are impeccable and almost perfect, but there is a fatal flaw for business.”

“There’s not much traffic.”

“Mr. Xia is indeed Mr. Xia. Yes, the most important thing here is that the flow of people is too small.”

Xia Chuan thought thoughtfully, and it is true that only Patek Philippe can stand in this area, because it does not require passenger flow.

There are people who come to buy this thing, such as him.

“So this is just one store?”

“Yes, there were big luxury brands interested in moving in some time ago, but because it was a bit quiet here, I had no choice but to go to Wangfujing, where there is a Patek Philippe counter.”

Du Yongchao: “If nothing else, you don’t need to compete with others to save your reputation by wearing a Patek Philippe. Patek Philippe itself doesn’t want its customers to be crowded together with other people. Hehe, how many people buy it because of this magnanimity. “

“It’s not unreasonable for people to succeed in marketing.”

These words had a different meaning in his ears.

Xia Chuan now knows one thing, that is, if you want to buy a watch, it is best to go to Wangfujing, SKP, etc. There are many brands and there is a comparison; but if you have Patek Philippe in your pre-selected list, just come to Qianmen No. 23 , because there is no need to compare anymore.

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

The villa composed of gray is called Imperial Capital Yuandi.

It used to be called Patek Philippe, but now it has been transformed and reopened. The new decoration strives to maintain the same style as the Patek Philippe Geneva Salon and the Royal Palace in the capital. Patek Philippe’s president personally paid attention to every detail, making the Stern family’s mansion in the capital as exquisite and moving as their own watches.

That sense of dignity starts from the moment you enter the door of No. 23.

On an extraordinary large gray screen are only the Chinese and English characters “Qianmen No. 23”. Just like a large courtyard in the imperial capital, people who don’t know the inside story still can’t imagine what is going on 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. People can’t help but sigh, it is a unique world.

The little arrogance in Xia Chuan’s heart has subsided a little because of the arrogance brought by money.

After walking into the main door, Xia Chuan and Du Yongchao chatted calmly and entered.

A guy like Du Yongchao personally brought him here and had a small villa on his hands. What else could he not control?

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

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 five-star hotels on the market. As expected, the president personally supervised the work, and the quality has gone up immediately.

Magnificent, yet elegant, every ornament is just right and not obtrusive, as if they should be there. This is the charm of the design.

Letting people from the design school come over, such as Ruan Shuning, should gain a lot of knowledge.

In his opinion, it was like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, devouring it without tasting anything.

Patek Philippe’s iconic logo and a dazzling array of counters.

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

This look is so familiar to Xia Chuan. They understand men so well. They have obviously received professional training. In addition, each of them is highly educated and knowledgeable. When combined with the working environment, it is just like ordinary people looking at flight attendants. Feeling different gives you a completely different sense, and may 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 just call me Xiao Ren. Do you have a goal before you come?”

Deng Keren, a very difficult name to pronounce.

Du Yongchao said: “I remember you have one in your store, 6104G?”

“Yes, sir, you are talking about our Patek Philippe Starry Sky model.”

Noticing the 5002G on Du Yongchao’s wrist, Deng Keren knew that these people had unusual identities.

Du Yongchao looked at Xia Chuan: “I remember you were talking about 6104G. If it is not available here, you will have to fly to Geneva.”

“Yes, it’s about the starry sky. I’ve only seen pictures.”

He is a layman and a good-looking guy. He can follow his looks and avoid detours. He can just reach his stomach in one step.

Deng Keren didn’t say any more nonsense. No matter how much he said, the customers would be satisfied after taking a first look. He immediately led a few people to a specific counter: “Sir, are you referring to this model?”

Xia Chuan was instantly attracted by the touch of blue in the counter.

To be honest, I have been exposed to models like Rolex Submariner. There are many watches, even the appearance of Vacheron Constantin cannot sway him. I can only say that there are very few. The starry sky is really beautiful and cannot be forgotten at a glance.

It was particularly dazzling when illuminated by the light. The unique blue color of the dial, the feeling of stars and moon, and the large circle of diamonds on the outer ring made Xia Chuan’s heart instantly move.

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

To put it bluntly, he is just greedy for his body.

This touch of blue is really unique and charming. The large T diamond echoes the blue of the dial.

Under the recommendation of the salesperson, Xia Chuan put it on and felt it.

The positions of the two handle heads are staggered, which does not hurt the hand. The design is very good. He thinks the lantern buckle is perfect. The movement pearl rudder is small and exquisite…

Its price is also very good, almost as good as a Bentley.

Xia Chuan didn’t feel any pain when buying something he liked. For more than an hour, Pei Ying and Li Huina couldn’t sit still at all. Even the price of an entry-level Patek Philippe model was prohibitive for them.

After leaving the Imperial Capital Yuandi, Xia Chuan put his hands in his pockets and felt comfortable. Now he was taken into a trap, and he would not be able to look at anyone no matter how cheap he was in the future.

Once you set your sights and think about it, it’s like being accustomed to a luxurious life and suddenly asking you to participate in the transformation plan. Who can withstand this?

At noon, they drank some wine at a private restaurant. Xia Chuan asked curiously: “Then my sister-in-law is also in the imperial capital now?”

“She was running around, tossing and telling me that she would leave in September at the most.”

With a woman around, Du Yongchao wouldn’t say some things.

Xia Chuan nodded: “Brother Du, come here, let me toast you.”

“Why…”

“It should be.”

The two of them had a drink of human nature, and there was no fight for wine this time. It turned out that Du Yongchao was here to discuss business, and he was going out of town soon. He was very busy, so he came over to entertain him for a day or two, and we became familiar with him. Usually the two of them have no time to meet each other, and they only meet a few times, even if they are all in Aurous Hill.

After lunch, Du Yongchao left by car.

Xia Chuan currently has nothing to pursue in his heart. He glances at his watch from time to time and feels happy that he has obtained a good toy. He will no longer have any worries in his heart in a short time.

Wangfujing, shopping mall.

“Xia Chuan, how about this one?”

“good…”

I went on a date with Li Huina in the afternoon, but not long after I left, she had to record a program in the evening.

After Xia Chuan returned to the hotel, he exercised until after nine o’clock. After taking a shower, he chatted on the phone with Jiang He for a while. Now he was even more clingy than Li Huina. Her voice was crisp and sweet, as sweet as frosted sugar cane. It’s refreshing.
