Ready

Husband, this kind of person is here to get free food and drinks, right?

“Mr. Xu, have you heard of our Richard Mille brand?”

“If you don’t have a specific series you like, I can give you a detailed introduction.”

“Or do you have a series you prefer?”

The saleswoman, Jing Jing, maintained the most perfect service attitude, making it difficult for anyone to feel dissatisfied.

“For the RM56, the sapphire crystal one, can you get it?”

Xu Ning nodded, smiling as he asked.

Although he knew it was unlikely, as this particular watch was limited to 5 pieces, what if?

Hearing Xu Ning’s words, the smile on the saleswoman’s face froze for a moment, and her heart was stirred like a colossal wave.

The RM56 sapphire crystal model?

Right away, he’s asking for Richard Mille’s top-tier series?

She had originally thought Xu Ning had enough means to buy a million-level basic Richard Mille, and if the deal went through, her sales commission would be enough for a small fortune.

But unexpectedly, she had still underestimated the true strength of this low-key young master.

One must know, regardless of whether the RM56 was a limited edition, its official price of over 20 million yuan was something not everyone could aspire to.

This was enough to show that the young man in front of her was truly a young master who wasn't short on money!

After all, without sufficient means, one couldn't treat a Richard Mille as a toy.

However, after the initial shock, a wry smile followed.

No other reason: their store simply couldn't get the RM56, as it was globally limited to only 5 pieces.

She gritted her teeth, vowing in her heart that she must keep Xu Ning, this high-quality customer, in the store.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Xu, the RM56 is a global limited edition and has already sold out. Our store really can’t find it.”

“However, you can look at other series and styles. I believe there will always be a Richard Mille watch that suits you.”

“For example, the RM50 and RM88 series.”

Saying this, Jing Jing quickly operated on the tablet in her hand, then showed Xu Ning pictures and 3D effects of several watches.

Xu Ning looked at the pictures and frowned slightly, because these series of watches were far less stunning than the RM56 had been to him.

Especially the RM88, with a very prominent yellow smiley face on its dial, which Xu Ning found quite comical.

Although many people liked this watch, like Young Master Wang, Xu Ning genuinely couldn't bring himself to like it.

He pushed the tablet back to the saleswoman, inevitably showing a hint of impatience, which made the saleswoman's heart sink.

It seems the young master doesn’t like these watches!

What to do?

What to do?

Just as the saleswoman was burning with anxiety, not knowing how to keep Xu Ning, he spoke.

“I don’t like any of these. Bring me the RM27 to see, the Nadal collaboration one.”

Hearing that Xu Ning still wanted to see a watch, the saleswoman's heart leaped with joy, her face flushing with excitement.

Although the RM27 Nadal collaboration model was also a global limited edition, and they didn't have it in stock in their store, there was a chance they could procure one.

If she could sell it, the official price plus the premium would still earn a considerable amount.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Xu, we don’t have the RM27 Nadal collaboration model in stock at our store.”

“However, we can arrange for a transfer from headquarters. As long as you pay the full amount upfront, we will do our best to communicate and coordinate.”

“If coordination is successful, the delivery period will be about two months.”

“However, we cannot guarantee that coordination will be successful.”

“There’s also one more thing I must tell you: because it’s a transfer from headquarters, there will inevitably be some additional costs involved.”

“The price you’ll have to pay will be higher than the official price.”

The saleswoman struggled to contain her excitement, but still forced herself to smile as she spoke to Xu Ning.

However, Xu Ning couldn’t help but frown again.

The matter of price markups, while deeply detested, is a reality where scarcity drives value, and often you need to pay more to acquire something you desire.

Moreover, in the car sales industry, markups for certain brands have long become an unspoken rule.

So, while Xu Ning was annoyed, he could accept it.

But a delivery period of at least two months, and no guarantee of successful coordination even with full payment upfront, seemed a bit outrageous, didn't it?

If it were other items, paying in advance could be understood, after all, what if the customer changed their mind later?

But the Richard Mille RM27 series certainly wasn't difficult to sell; if it were in stock, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say people would be fighting for it, many would be eager to buy.

Is this just the store bullying the customer?

“A markup is acceptable!”

“Advance payment is not!”

“When the watch arrives at the store, that’s when I’ll come to pay and pick it up!”

Xu Ning shook his head, his tone no longer as amiable as before.

Hearing Xu Ning’s words, the saleswoman immediately felt troubled and anxious.

Although she also knew their rules were unreasonable, almost all highly sought-after luxury brands operated with this attitude.

We have our draconian terms; if you can accept them, buy it; if not, leave. Our products are never short of buyers anyway.

Even if she went to ask the manager, there would be no chance of success.

Xu Ning guessed what was happening when he saw the saleswoman’s expression and couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

Since he couldn't buy the watch he wanted, there was no need to stay any longer, so Xu Ning prepared to get up and leave.

But just as he was about to rise, it was as if a flash of lightning streaked across his mind, startling him.

That’s right!

How could I forget about the system!

At this moment, Xu Ning felt a bit foolish, having forgotten that the system had a very special function.

Whatever he wanted, he could completely purchase it directly through the system!

Just like the Koenigsegg ONE before, it was purchased directly through the system.

Otherwise, with the Koenigsegg ONE limited to 6 units worldwide, even if Xu Ning had the money, he wouldn't be able to buy it.

Since the system could buy it, there was even less need to stay in the store.

“Since you don’t have what I want, then that’s that!”

The saleswoman became anxious, even wishing she could reach out and stop Xu Ning from leaving.

However, before the saleswoman could even open her mouth to persuade Xu Ning, a sarcastic female voice came from another sofa nearby.

“Richard Mille’s style isn’t all that either!”

“It’s truly amazing how anyone can sneak in and pretend to be a customer!”

“If we had known that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could just walk in, we wouldn’t have come!”

“Darling, why are there so many thick-skinned people nowadays?”

“They deliberately demand the most expensive limited edition, then righteously claim the store doesn’t have it, instead of admitting they can’t afford it!”

“It’s truly hilarious!”

“I think people like that just come in for free food and drinks, don’t they?”

“Don’t you agree, husband!”

Her voice was affected, as if she was deliberately straining her throat to sound delicate.

These sarcastic remarks instantly filled the store with an awkward atmosphere.

The sales assistants dared not speak, because they knew that any customer in the store was someone they couldn't afford to offend.

This was a conflict between customers; if they could mediate, that would be great, but if they couldn't, they certainly shouldn't involve themselves.
