Chapter 266: Discordant Voices

Jiang Feng smiled, and immediately thought of a common saying among nouveau riche: "As long as it is worth the money, the price is not a problem!" ”

As soon as the shopping guide heard Jiang Feng's words, he immediately had a bottom in his heart, so he invited the two of them: "The best watches are in the internal counter, please go in and choose, right?" ”

Jiang Feng nodded, and with Zong Luoyao holding hands, he entered a room in the back under the leadership of the shopping guide, and then walked through a corridor full of various watches and came to an exhibition hall of about two hundred square meters. (Read the novel to the leaves・Yo~Yo.YZuU.)

There are about a dozen waiters here, all of them are young and beautiful girls, and the quality is not worse than that of the flight attendants.

"There are so many beauties here, do you have any dazzling eyes?" Zong Luoyao smiled and asked Jiang Fengdao.

Jiang Feng shrugged his shoulders and replied, "My wife is by my side, where do I have the strength to see others?" ”

"You mean to say that when your wife is not around, you can look around at beautiful women?" Zong Luoyao snorted and asked.

Jiang Feng immediately declared: "I have never said this, it is your understanding that is biased. ”

The two of them were talking and laughing, and at the same time, they came to the front of a counter under the leadership of the shopping guide.

"What brand is this, why have I never heard of it?" Jiang Feng looked at the watch, there was neither a trademark nor an obvious mark, it looked like a copycat watch, and couldn't help but ask with some suspicion.

Zong Luoyao didn't know much about this either, so both of them had the same skeptical expression.

At this time, the shopping guide invited an older watchmaker to explain the origin and construction of this couple's watch to the two people.

Wearing white gloves, the watchmaker carefully picked up a watch and explained to the two men: "In the 400-year history of watchmaking, the master watchmakers have created six masterpieces, the production of which requires exceptional knowledge, exquisite technique, and a very high degree of complexity and difficulty. Other labels have made one or two of these six masterpieces, but in 1988 Blancpain decided to pass all the tests of the art of watchmaking. At the same time, six classic masterpieces were launched, and these two couple's watches were the masterpieces of the masters of the time. ”

"What are the six classics?" Zong Luoyao asked with some curiosity.

"The first is ultra-thin, and the second is ultra-thin plus month, date, day and moon phase displays. The third is the perpetual calendar, the fourth is the split-seconds counter, the fifth is to eliminate gravitational errors, and the sixth is the minute repeater. The watchmaker talked about it. His face was full of expressions of admiration, and it was obvious that he had great admiration for the master watchmakers of the time.

"The best mechanical watches are produced on a small scale, and for a watchmaker who sits alone on a bench and bends over a month to create a watch, he is confronted with a sense of professionalism and a passion for imagination. It took months to create a watch. Watchmakers who have to lock dozens of screws in sequence, apply just enough force, but not too hard, and every time they tighten the screws, they have to put their whole heart into it. Naturally, a watch made with such a dedication is a work of art, just like painting and engraving. The master continued.

After listening to the master's words, the two of them immediately felt that the two watches had added a lot of color. Handmade watches are indeed the result of a great deal of effort by watchmakers. The price is naturally reasonable, which is not the same as those electronic watches in Japan.

"Well, how much does it cost? I want this watch. Jiang Feng took a closer look at these two watches and thought they were very good, so he began to inquire about the price.

But then there was a discordant note, and a stiff voice said behind them: "A noble couple's watch is only suitable for a matching lover." You don't deserve to wear this watch! ”…,

What idiot is so annoying? Jiang Feng turned his head a little annoyed.

Jiang Feng looked back, but it was a tall gray-haired young man who spoke. Like a French or Italian, accompanied by a beautiful woman with the same blonde hair.

Other than that. Behind the two of them, there was a woman with black-rimmed eyes who looked like a tour guide or translator.

"Hey, these days, the confidence of international friends is getting thicker and thicker, right?" Jiang Feng, who was in a good mood and was disturbed, said in a strange manner.

Zong Luoyao glanced at the two people, pulled Jiang Feng's arm and said, "Don't pay attention to them, we just buy them and leave." ”

Because Zong Luoyao was beside him, Jiang Feng didn't want to affect his mood, so he asked the master: "Okay, how much are these two watches, we bought them." ”

The old man didn't expect Jiang Feng to say that he wanted to buy it without asking the price, so he said to him: "These two are the treasures of the town store, only people have asked the price before, and no one is tempted, but the price is really higher, and the two add up, a total of 660,000 US dollars." ”

"So much? It's a bit expensive. Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect these two watches to be worth so much money, it turned out that he thought that they would be hundreds of thousands of yuan at best.

After all, if it is a watch in such a place, where will it be worth so much money?

If it weren't for the master who told him for a long time where the value of this watch was, he would have turned around and left without saying a word, if Zong Luoyao didn't follow, he would rather take her on a special flight to Switzerland and ask the masters to design a unique couple's watch, rather than buying a ready-made watch here.

At this point, the foreign man started to annoy people again, but he also seemed to be more intimidated by the price of the watch, and only talked about the history of the watch: "Everyone knows about Swiss watches, but watchmaking is not native to Switzerland. The earliest watchmaking was in France. At the end of the 16th century, religious struggles in France led to a massacre, and the Huguenots who followed Calvin fled to Switzerland, bringing with them the technology to make clocks and watches. The combination of French watch technology and the local gold and silver jewellery industry in Switzerland led to the emergence of Swiss watchmaking. It spreads outward from Geneva, near France, mainly along the Jura Mountains to the northeast, to Schaffhausen in the northeast, and blooms in the northern half of Switzerland. ”

Jiang Feng was in any mood to listen to his nagging, looking at Zong Luoyao, who seemed to have some love for these two unmarked watches, so he didn't care about the price. Then he said to the master: "Well, it looks good. That's it, wrap me up. As for the payment, do you want to transfer it by bank or cash? ”

The old master smiled and said: "Of course, bank transfer is the best, 660,000 US dollars in cash, we are also very troublesome to deal with." There is a bank just across the road downstairs which is easy to transfer. ”

Jiang Feng nodded, and then said to Zong Luoyao: "Yaoyao, then you sit here for a while, and I'll go with them to transfer money." ”

Zong Luoyao shook his head and said, "What's the point of me staying here alone, let's go together." ”

The old master gave an order, and the two waiters followed Jiang Feng and them downstairs together. The four of them walked and chatted as they went, and then they arrived at the bank.

Although today is still Tuesday, because the New Year is coming soon, the flow of people on Wangfujing Street is also larger, and the bank business is also very busy. Fortunately, their amount of money is huge, and they are considered big customers. The waiter of the watch store has a very good relationship with this place, and often has large business dealings, so he led them to take a shortcut, went to the back of the large customer area to make a transfer, directly issued an invoice, and then transferred back to the counter. …,

When they got to the counter, they found that there was already a quarrel.

It seemed to be a middle-aged man like a shopping mall manager, arguing with the master of the watch counter, and the Frenchman stood by and watched the excitement, and whistled from time to time, and the blonde beauty was laughing and looking very coke.

"Manager Chen, how can you do this? How can you sell the same watch to two customers? The old man said to the middle-aged man with some indignation, "What should I say when the customer comes back later?" ”

"Whatever you may say, this Monsieur Pell is the son of the French ambassador, and since you have taken a fancy to our watch here, it is very face-saving, how can you sell it to someone else? This is something that is detrimental to the friendship between China and France. The middle-aged man said heartily.

"But the people have already gone to pay......" The old master was so angry, how could Xindao have such a leader who admired foreign countries?

"Then it's okay to say they're paying late?" The middle-aged man snorted and said, "What kind of place is this?" Capital! Could it be that they still dare to make trouble? That's it, give them a refund, and give Mr. Pell these two watches! ”

At this moment, Jiang Feng and Zong Luoyao had already heard it very clearly. It turned out that this Frenchman was really the son of the French ambassador, and he came to visit the shopping mall with his girlfriend, but his girlfriend suddenly fell in love with the watch that Jiang Feng and Zong Luoyao chose, so she asked Pell to buy it for her.

Pell was a little painful, but it was six hundred and sixty thousand dollars, not six hundred and sixty thousand francs. Although Pell is the ambassador to France, their family does not run a company, and they do not have any big financial resources, so they can't ignore the $660,000 level. You know, one dollar is worth more than five francs!

But in order to win the favor of the beauty in front of everyone, I had to reluctantly agree. However, this watch has been given by Jiang Feng to buy, and the person has also gone to pay, so he doesn't know what to do, so he discusses with the master to see if he can refuse Jiang Feng and sell them the watch. But the master is very honest and trustworthy, so naturally it is impossible to do such a broken contract. So he ran to the manager of the commercial building, explained his identity, and asked the other party to sell him something.
