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

Chapter 184 - 112: Deposits Exceed Hundred Million_2

"Thinking of them as fools would actually make one the fool."

Plus, now that he had money, 1.4 million wasn’t such a big number; it wouldn’t surprise him too much...

What really puzzled Gu Heng was that, as a seller, Qi Shuming used the word "approximately" to tell me the price...

Seeing the confusion in Gu Heng’s eyes, Qi Shuming quickly explained, "It’s like this: all the wristwatches in our Patek Philippe Origin Mansion are priced in Swiss Francs by the headquarters in Geneva and settled in RMB.

The exchange rate between the Swiss Franc and RMB is constantly changing.

This difference doesn’t affect small amounts much, but for our Patek Philippe’s prices, which easily reach millions or even tens of millions, it’s significant. A small fluctuation can result in a price difference of tens or even hundreds of thousands.

So I can only give you an approximate price for this watch."

All right...

These luxury brands really go to great lengths to maintain their status...

How is this any different from doing something redundant?

Although he was internally mocking, his expression remained unchanged, and he continued walking forward.

Yu Qianqian and Leyi followed cautiously behind Gu Heng...

With so many displays here, they really didn’t dare to wander around carelessly. The chance of bumping into the watches in the display cases was small, but if they accidentally damaged some of the antique decorations nearby, the cost would likely be astronomical...

Especially Yu Qianqian...

She came here just to broaden her knowledge, and now she truly was...

Any random watch here, to say that her family would have to sell their property to afford it would be an exaggeration...

But like that 1.4-million-watch, buying it would indeed strain her family’s cash assets...

She had always seen herself as a rich second generation and didn’t mind others calling her that...

But only upon coming here did she realize, there are also disparities among the wealthy...

Her family could at best be considered at the lower tier of the wealthy, and her status as a rich second generation was only in the eyes of ordinary people...

While everyone’s thoughts varied, Gu Heng spoke up.

But they expressed Gu Heng’s true feelings...

He respected Patek Philippe’s policies, had gone through all the trouble to get the asset verification report sent over, and undressed, only to be shown this?

Listening to Gu Heng’s evidently impatient voice, even though he was being scolded, Qi Shuming’s expression remained unchanged, still wearing a smile.

"The first floor houses some of the more basic models, and the more high-end models are on the second floor.

Since Mr. Gu doesn’t want to look at these, how about I take you to the second floor for a visit?"

Gu Heng nodded slightly.

Upon receiving the response, Qi Shuming immediately gestured for Gu Heng to come to the elevator...

A two-story mansion...

Your next journey awaits at empire

It might not even be as tall as the house he was building back in his hometown, yet it had an elevator...

Today, Gu Heng truly experienced what "doing a redundant act" meant... and more than once...

....

....

The second floor was more spacious.

And there were only a few more refined showcases...

Just stepping out of the elevator, Gu Heng saw a watch displayed right in front of a showcase.

Quickening his steps, he went straight to the showcase.

Upon closer inspection, the charm of the watch intensified...

The celestial dial immediately captured all of Gu Heng’s attention.

"Introduce this watch."

"I must commend Mr. Gu’s eye for detail. This model, Ref.5002P, with its super-complicated face, has left a profound impression on many tycoons. This watch is one from the ’Sky Moon’ series that our Patek Philippe Company launched in 2001. It is the most intricate wristwatch we’ve created since our inception, also renowned as our most outstanding work at the time."
