The blue dial was not Luofeng’s style; he didn’t particularly like the Nautilus’s non-circular, non-square shape. He preferred leather straps, which he found more elegant and classy. However, the price of this White Parrot Wrist Watch was only around 880,000 yuan.
The information Li Kang had sent indicated that this White Parrot Wrist Watch was very popular, and Patek Philippe had restricted its individual sales. If one wished to purchase it, it had to be bundled with another wristwatch worth over a million yuan.
"Mr. Luo, if you purchase any model from the 5270 series, then you’re entitled to buy the White Parrot Wrist Watch," Li Kang explained. "Because of this, in the Secondary Market, this White Parrot Wrist Watch’s price might be around 200,000 yuan more than its retail price."
Luofeng nodded. This new White Parrot Wrist Watch model included the Perpetual Calendar feature, which had won over most Patek Philippe fans. It just wasn’t to Luofeng’s liking.
However, Luofeng realized that if he purchased the 5270R001 model and added this Perpetual Calendar White Parrot Wrist Watch, the total price would co to around 2.13 million yuan. This was just about the 2 million yuan limit of his cashback card.
An extra hundred thousand yuan or so? Luofeng would just pay that himself.
As for not liking the Perpetual Calendar White Parrot Wrist Watch? It didn’t matter. It was all a freebie anyway. If he didn’t like it, he could give it to his dad.
If his dad didn’t like it, then to the Secondary Market it would go; plenty of people would pay a premium for it there. After all, one had to purchase another Patek Philippe watch worth a million yuan just to qualify for this one. Many people could only afford one million-yuan Patek Philippe in their lifeti, so they’d willingly pay extra to get their hands on it.
"Charge it!" Luofeng handed over his bank card. "The Rose gold 5270, plus the White Parrot Wrist Watch!"
"Both... Both of them together?" Li Kang was a bit stunned.
"Mm-hmm. Just swipe the card," Luofeng said.
"Alright, please wait a mont. I’ll handle it right away," Li Kang said, his heart blooming with joy. This truly is an effortless transaction!
However, two custors in the second-floor VIP room also witnessed the scene and exchanged glances. The young woman looked over at Luofeng again and smiled playfully.
The middle-aged man lowered his voice, "This young man is really loaded!"
After all, the two wristwatches combined cost more than 2 million yuan. Luofeng hadn’t hesitated for more than a minute from start to finish.
Such shopping was truly a heart-stopping sight. As for Luofeng? Since it was all about snagging a bargain, there was no need for him to overthink it, was there?
Soon, Li Kang arrived in the VIP room with the card reader. Once the transaction was successful, Li Kang politely asked, "Mr. Luo, would you like both wristwatches to be gift-wrapped?"
Luofeng, while taking off the 5160 from his own wrist, replied, "Unpack the Rose gold 5270! I want to wear the new one... Wrap up the old watch!"
"Ah, what?" Li Kang was clearly distracted by soone speaking into his earpiece. He was surprised. This Luofeng bought a million-yuan level wristwatch just a month ago, and now he’s back again? And a watch like that, he calls it an ’old watch’?
Rich people didn’t just change ’goddesses’ quickly; they changed watches just as fast. The very thing you coveted was, to them, rely an object of boredom.
"Hello, Manager?" Luofeng said, sounding annoyed.
"My apologies, Mr. Luo. I understand. I’ll get it wrapped right away," Li Kang said apologetically.
The middle-aged man and the young woman in the VIP room were rendered quite speechless by this scene. It was like driving a Ferrari to a Ferrari dealership to buy another car, only to swap it for the new Ferrari. And bear in mind, the ’old’ Ferrari had been bought less than a month ago!
Are rich people really so quick to discard the old in favor of the new?
Actually, most people are prone to seeking novelty, aren’t they? A girl you’ve successfully pursued might lose her appeal after the first month of conquest. But wanting to switch? What’s the cost of that? The girl you worked so hard to win over might leave, and there’s no guarantee the next one will be as easy to pursue!
So, it wasn’t that ordinary people didn’t tire of the old and crave the new; they simply lacked the capital to act on it.
"By the way, Manager," Luofeng inquired, "let ask you, what are the requirents to order a 6002?"
"The 6002 series wristwatches are now available for pre-order. Given your mbership Points in our store, Mr. Luo, you are fully eligible to purchase one," Li Kang answered.
Patek Philippe is a truly high-end wristwatch brand. Most of their watches require customization, and one must also qualify to purchase them.
"What’s the current price?" Luofeng asked.
"Based on the current exchange rate, the basic model will likely exceed 17 million yuan. If you add custom features and configurations, then the sky’s the limit."
To put it simply, it’s possible to add another 17 million yuan to that initial 17 million yuan. If you don’t add any customizations, then it’s just 17 million yuan. It’s like buying a house for one million yuan; you could easily spend another 10 million yuan on renovations alone.
"If I want to place an order, how long would I have to wait?"
"About two years."
"That’s too long." Luofeng shook his head. He was clearly a little displeased, having received the sa response when he’d inquired about the Blue starry sky watch previously. These luxury goods are great in every way, except for this one downside: you can’t just buy them even if you have the money. Everything requires waiting. It’s so annoying!
"Holy smokes, he wants to purchase a 6002?"
"This..."
Clearly, the two custors in the VIP room had also heard. They felt trendous pressure just being under the sa roof as Luofeng.
"By the way, Mr. Luo, to show our appreciation for your support of our store, we’ve specially included a Patek Philippe logo silk scarf! Also, two Patek Philippe key rings and four Cara Trujillo Cross Cuffs."
It was a whole bunch of complintary gifts.
Luofeng didn’t even look at them, just nodded. "Alright, thank you very much."
As for these gifts, Luofeng already had a plan in mind. He’d take two key rings for himself, one for his Ferrari 488 and one for his Porsche 911. As for the Audi R8? Sorry, that one just didn’t make the cut anymore. He was fed up with driving it.
It was like a goddess one grew tired of after a month of conquest; he’d let it go wherever it pleased. Keep in mind, that Audi R8 was worth 2.7 million yuan—still a dream far beyond the reach of many.
Wait a second... This trip ho... the gifts seem a bit unbalanced, don’t they? Dad gets a 2.7 million yuan Porsche Luxury Car, plus a White Parrot Wrist Watch? That’s almost 3.5 million yuan in total! Yet, just now, I only thought of giving Mom that silk scarf? And it’s just a freebie! If Mom finds out, she’ll kill , won’t she? I still want to enjoy Mom’s ho cooking when I get back! Luofeng felt a wave of panic.
But after so thought, he ca up with a brilliant idea: let Dad take the bla! Once Xu Zhenzhu asks, I’ll just pass the buck to Dad. After all, since Dad got the much better gifts, he should naturally bear the responsibility. As for the Cara Trujillo Cross Cuffs, I’ll still give them to Dad. He likes to wear formal attire anyway, so they’ll be a perfect accessory for him.
"Manager, I’ve added you on WeChat too," Luofeng said, deliberately reminding him. "If your store gets any limited-edition items, let know on WeChat. You know I can afford them, and I’m soone who values relationships..."
He knew that such limited-edition treasures were usually reserved for well-connected clients. Luofeng might have money, but he wasn’t one of them yet. It was just like buying property; once the best units were released, weren’t they always snapped up by those with connections?
"Understood, understood!" Li Kang nodded, his expression clearly indicating he got the ssage: If there’s a limited edition, I’ll notify you, and you’ll make sure my efforts are well rewarded, right?
"Then I’ll be going," Luofeng said.
"Mr. Luo, please co again!"
Hearing "please co again," Luofeng’s mouth twitched. Isn’t my current visiting frequency fast enough? Of course, if there were more cashback cards, I’d definitely co. Why not, if it’s essentially free? But for now, I’ve nearly exhausted all my high-value cashback cards. They were all provided during this period by a few Beauties and those gold-diggers. The gold-diggers contributed very little; Beauties of Duanmu Yunji’s and Bai Ningbing’s caliber provided substantially more.
