Early the next morning, Ye Chen prepared to say goodbye to Gu Qiuyi's family, and then took a taxi to the station. Unexpectedly, Gu Yanzhong insisted on driving him personally.
Traveling with him were Lin Wanqiu and Gu Qiuyi.
Ye Chen didn't want them to go through a lot of trouble, but he couldn't resist the hospitality, so he agreed anyway.
On the road, Gu Yanzhong drove his Rolls-Royce, Lin Wanqiu sat in the passenger seat, and Ye Chen and Gu Qiuyi sat in the back seat.
Gu Qiuyi's mood had always been a little low, but since her parents were both in the car, she didn't speak and looked worried all the way.
Seeing that the outline of the airport could be seen outside the window, Gu Qiuyi mustered up the courage to reach out and quietly grabbed Ye Chen's palm, squeezing Ye Chen's hand tightly with her small hands.
Ye Chen turned around subconsciously and found Gu Qiuyi looking at him with resentful and stubborn eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
The Rolls-Royce stopped steadily at the door of the departure floor of the airport. Ye Chen gently took his hand out of Gu Qiuyi's hand and said to the three of them: "Uncle Gu, Aunt Lin, Nannan, you guys just
Don't get out of the car, there are many people at the airport, and it's not good to be seen, especially my daughter, who is also a public figure."
Gu Qiuyi said hurriedly: "I can wear a mask!"
Lin Wanqiu said at this time: "Okay, girl, even if you wear a mask, you can only take Chen'er to the security checkpoint. It's not that far in total, so don't take the risk."
Gu Yanzhong also nodded and said: "Yes, don't cause trouble to your brother Ye Chen."
"Okay..." Gu Qiuyi could only nodded slightly, looked at Ye Chen, and said: "Brother Ye Chen, remember to tell me after you board the plane, and also tell me after you land."
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Okay, I understand, don't worry."
After saying that, Ye Chen got out of the car and took a small bag from the trunk.
Then, he waved goodbye to the Gu family of three through the car window and turned to enter the airport.
As soon as he entered the airport, he received a call from Dong Ruolin: "Ye Chen, have you arrived at the airport?"
Marven said: "I'm here and I'm about to go through the security check."
Dong Ruolin said hurriedly: "Then you go in first. There is a traffic jam here. It may take about 20 minutes. I should be able to make it in time."
Ye Chen hummed and said, "Then let's meet during the break or at the boarding gate. If that doesn't work, you can also meet on the plane."
"no problem!"
Ye Chen hung up the phone, went through the security check alone, and came to Terminal 3.
Terminal 3 of Yanjing Airport is very large, and there are many luxury stores inside. Basically, internationally renowned brands have stores here.
When Ye Chen thought that he had only prepared some tea from Tang Sihai for his father-in-law, he had not yet prepared any gifts for his wife and mother-in-law Ma Lan.
When I set off, my mother-in-law flattered me and asked me to bring her some gifts. Seeing that she hadn't acted like a monster recently and was respectful to me, she really wanted to give her some sweetness.
As for his wife Xiao Churan, not to mention, naturally I have to carefully prepare a gift for her.
So, he took advantage of this time and started shopping in the airport's commercial street.
Because Ye Chen has very low material requirements in his daily life, he couldn't think of what gifts to give to his wife and mother-in-law.
Thinking that women of all ages like bags, Ye Chen walked into the Hermès store without hesitation.
The price gap between Hermès is very large. The cheaper ones are about 100,000 yuan, but this is just a starting point. Their high-end products can be expensive up to millions.
Because Ye Chen was wearing ordinary clothes, the arrogant counter girl in the store was a little dismissive of him, but she didn't say anything malicious and slanderous, but her attitude was more or less contemptuous.
Ye Chen didn't pay too much attention. He looked around the store and noticed an elegant limited edition crocodile leather handbag in the glass display case.
This handbag is the classic orange color of Hermès. The leather texture is perfect and the workmanship is very exquisite. It is very suitable for both leisure and business use.
Ye Chen greeted the counter girl and asked, "Hello, I want this bag. Please wrap it up for me."
The counter girl frowned and said, "Sir, the price of this bag is 580,000 yuan."
Ye Chen hummed and said, "No problem, I want it."
The counter sister said again: "I'm sorry sir, buying this bag requires distribution."
Ye Chen asked in surprise: "What does distribution mean? Can't you just pay for this bag?"
The counter girl smiled contemptuously: "Sir, is this your first time at Hermès? Have you never bought anything at Hermès before?"
Ye Chen nodded: "No, what? What's the problem?"
The counter girl hummed and said, "You can't just buy many Hermès bags if you want to. You can choose and buy whatever you want for the popular and basic models under 300,000 yuan, but for those above 300,000 yuan, basically
They are all limited edition!”
"Don't forget that the price of this bag in the store is only 580,000, but as soon as you take it out, it can be sold for 700,000 to 800,000. So, if you want to buy this bag, it must be Hermès.
You must be a senior member and make an appointment with our store manager in advance; or you have to purchase a certain amount of other products, and the other products cannot be popular models, and you can only buy this bag if you have 500,000 yuan."
Ye Chen frowned: "What do you mean, if I want to buy this bag, I have to buy 500,000 other things first?"
"Yes." The counter sister smiled: "Hermès all over the world has this rule, you don't know it, right? Or you just want to try your luck and defraud this bag out of our store and earn the difference.
?”
For a top luxury product like Hermès, its limited edition handbags have an astonishingly high value retention rate.
Many styles are even more expensive in the second-hand market than first-hand. The reason is Hermès’ hunger marketing.
Other brands can buy things by paying money, but not Hermès.
Because the prices outside are much more expensive than those in stores, so if you want to buy things from their stores according to the prices, you have to buy hundreds of thousands or even millions of goods.
After this calculation, if you want to get a limited edition bag, you need to pay more than one million yuan.
However, Hermès is also very smart. If it is to distribute goods, it cannot buy their best-selling models, but can only buy their slow-selling models.
Slow-moving items are nonsense. For example, some 18k gold rings cost only about 1,000 yuan, but because they are labeled as Hermès, they are sold for 50,000, 80,000, or even more than 100,000 yuan.
Even if you buy such a ring for takeout, no one will want it unless you transfer it at a loss at a very low discount.
After Ye Chen understood the rules of Hermès, he was not angry. Since they had such rules, he should just follow them.
So Ye Chen said: "In that case, can I buy other things worth 500,000 yuan together?"
When the counter sister heard this, her eyes lit up. She didn't expect that Ye Chen was still a secretly rich man. He was distributing 500,000 yuan, but he didn't bother to bargain and was ready to take it directly?
Hearing this, she changed her indifference and hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Sir, let me show you the things that can be used for distribution in our store. You can see what you need."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "I just saw an ordinary style handbag. The price seems to be around 160,000. Can that one be used for distribution?"
"Okay." The counter sister said without hesitation: "The price of that bag is 158,888, so you only need to purchase another 340,000 yuan or so."
Ye Chen was about to look at other items when a woman's voice came from the door: "Hao Yi, I want to see Hermès!"
Then, another man's voice came: "Don't look, we are going to the boarding gate."
The woman begged coquettishly: "We still have half an hour to board the plane, please take me for a walk!"
The man said helplessly: "Okay, I can only go shopping for twenty minutes!"
"Koichi, you are so nice!"
Immediately afterwards, a young man and woman stepped in.
Ye Chen recognized the man at a glance. Wasn't he the Tanaka Koichi who had been following Nanako Ito before?
