How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

Chapter 217 - 121 The First Step to Seeing the World_3

This is the charm of capitalist soil...

Gu Heng didn’t dwell on it for too long and walked towards the sofa, saying as he moved, "Let’s get started then, who’s first?"

Zheng Jiayi looked back and exchanged looks with several sales associates, then a tall sales associate stepped forward with two thick magazines in hand and approached slowly, saying, "Hello Mr. Gu, I’m a sales associate from Chanel on Hong Kong Island, and I’m very honored to serve you, Mr. Gu."

There’s a bit of ambiguity in this conversation topic...

One asking who’s going first...

The other declaring it an honor to provide service...

Feels a bit like the self-introduction of a foot massage technician.

"Chanel? Chanel sells men’s clothing?"

Gu Heng had certainly heard of Chanel...

But with a brand name that even sounds a bit effeminate, Gu Heng had always thought they only catered to women...

Upon hearing this, the sales associate quickly explained, "Previously we at Chanel didn’t have a men’s line, but since the Autumn/Winter collection of 2004, we have launched a few selected Chanel men’s designs each season.

And compared to women’s wear, we at Chanel place even greater emphasis on the quality of our men’s line.

While most Chanel women’s clothing is semi-handmade, the men’s line is purely handcrafted, with buttons and jewels manually set."

Gu Heng chuckled when he heard this.

It seems Chanel knows how to do business...

Though they know the target clients for luxury brands are mostly women, the real buying power lies with men...

Directly appealing to men on the level of product prestige...

The Chanel sales associate spread open the two magazines in her hands and pushed them towards Gu Heng, "This one on the left is men’s clothing launched from 2004 to 2020, and the one on the right includes the men’s collections from 2021 to the present."

Gu Heng nodded slightly and first picked up the magazine on his right hand side, crossing his legs and flipping through it.

It looks quite thick...

"Well... no."

Gu Heng was about to roll his eyes, but the sales associate quickly said, "Although this model has been discontinued, we can offer private customization! We have a Chanel handcraft base here on Hong Kong Island.

The tailors there are of international master level! With rush work, we can tailor this trench coat to fit your measurements in just a few days.

Moreover, our designers can also come up with a design that is uniquely yours based on your measurements, to avoid any chance of outfit duplication."

Private customization?

Hearing the sales associate’s words, Gu Heng directly said, "You offer private customization?"

"Of course, we at Chanel accept any customer’s private customizations, of course...

The price for private customization will be higher..."

Gu Heng understood this pricing policy.

You get what you pay for.

Gu Heng then turned to the other sales associates and asked, "Can you guys also take private orders?"

Several people eagerly responded all at once.

Though the voices were somewhat cluttered, Gu Heng could clearly make out the responses.

And that was that they could.

...

Just a few days ago, Gu Heng had spent over two hundred thousand at LV buying several outfits and handbags for Gu Xinran.

They had also given him a junior VIP status, which required an annual spend of four hundred thousand to obtain...

At that time, they swore to him that only with an annual spend of over a million to become a VIC could he enjoy special privileges like personal shopping services and private customization...

Now here on Hong Kong Island, with the same brand...

I haven’t spent a penny yet, and they’re already telling me I can have custom work done...

Even if it’s differential treatment, isn’t the gap a bit too big?
