Chapter 1892
When Fei Jianzhong sat in the Hongqi car prepared by Chen Zekai and set off for downtown Jin Ling, he was very depressed and sat on the left seat in the back row without saying a word.
On his right hand side sat Lai Qinghua, who was already over a hundred years old.
Lai Qinghua saw that Fei Jianzhong was in a bad mood, so he smiled and asked him, "Jianzhong, I see you don't seem very happy."
"I can't be happy..." Fei Jianzhong said sadly, "To tell you the truth, Brother Lai, I have been irritable since I got off the plane!"
Lai Qinghua smiled slightly and reminded, "Jianzhong, as the saying goes, when you come, you should be at peace. You should try to be as calm as possible."
Fei Jianzhong nodded reluctantly, then couldn't help but touch this and look at that in the car, his face full of undisguised disgust.
Lai Qinghua saw that he must not be used to this kind of C-class car worth hundreds of thousands. After all, the price of this whole car might not be comparable to one seat of the car Fei Jianzhong usually uses for travel.
So, he smiled and said to Fei Jianzhong, "Jianzhong, don't underestimate this car. This is a Hongqi."
Fei Jianzhong said with a dry smile, "I know this is a Hongqi, but this is my first time riding in one."
Lai Qinghua said earnestly, "Hongqi is the eldest son of the Republic, the founder of China's automotive industry, and the leader's car that has remained unchanged for decades. For the Chinese people, it has extraordinary significance. The organizer arranged this car to pick us up, and there must be some intention."
Fei Jianzhong said, "In that case, the organizer of this auction should be quite patriotic."
"Yes." Lai Qinghua nodded and said, "Respect every patriotic person, because he will not stand in the wrong position when it comes to right and wrong."
Fei Jianzhong did not speak, his brows slightly frowned, thoughtful.
When the motorcade arrived at the Bai Jinhangong, the entire Bai Jinhangong Hotel had been under martial law.
Except for Bai Jinhangong's own motorcade, other idlers were prohibited from entering.
However, the hotel lobby at this time was bustling with noise.
The bidders who were sent over one after another were checking in one by one.
However, what made them collapse was that the accommodation price here was simply expensive to the extreme. A total of three nights of check-in time, even for the most ordinary standard room, the price exceeded one million.
Everyone knew that this was the organizer deliberately taking the opportunity to slaughter them. For these people, money was not important, but being knocked on the bamboo pole like this was really unacceptable psychologically.
When Fei Jianzhong saw on the fake target that the presidential suite for three days actually needed six million, he couldn't help but scold his mother in his heart.
However, he still restrained the impulse to explode and said to the front desk staff who checked in, "I want this presidential suite."
The other party immediately replied, "Sorry, the presidential suite has been booked by No. 016. Please take a look at other room types."
Fei Jianzhong did not know who No. 016 was, but since the room was gone, he had to settle for the next best thing and took a luxury suite at the price of two million.
In contrast, Lai Qinghua's treatment was much better. He was arranged into an executive luxury suite in the executive building as a guest of honor. This was also the room type second only to the presidential suite in the entire Bai Jinhangong, and it was free of charge.
After Fei Jianzhong checked in and arrived at the room, the first thing he did was to call Fei Kexin immediately.
As soon as the call was connected, Fei Kexin asked on the other end of the phone, "Grandpa, have you finished checking in?"
Fei Jianzhong gave a hum and said, "It's already done. You guessed right. They really arranged all the bidders to Bai Jinhangong. I think this place must be the venue for the auction."
Fei Kexin said, "Grandpa, my situation is special now, so I won't meet you for the next two days, but I will continue to think of ways to continue to mediate with the owner of the Rejuvenation Pill outside."
Fei Jianzhong hurriedly asked, "How is the progress now?"
Fei Kexin said truthfully, "I dare not say that I have absolute certainty, but at least I have made some breakthroughs. The other party wants to invite me to a meal after the auction ends. If you fail to win the Rejuvenation Pill at the auction, I will take you to see him then."
"Good." Fei Jianzhong breathed a sigh of relief and sighed, "Kexin, you have really worked hard this time! Running around for this matter for such a long time."
Fei Kexin hurriedly said, "Grandpa, this is what I should do."
Fei Jianzhong sighed and said, "I hope this auction can successfully win the Rejuvenation Pill, so that after the auction ends, you can go back to New York with me."
Fei Kexin smiled and said, "Grandpa, I believe you will definitely win the first battle."
Just as a large number of top tycoons were constantly checking into Bai Jinhangong, Ye Chen was pulled by Xiao Churan to the most prosperous shopping center in Jin Ling.
Because she received the invitation letter for the Master Class of the Rhode Island School of Design, she always felt in her heart that she owed Kelly West a huge favor.
There were not many things in the company today, so Xiao Churan pulled Ye Chen to the street, intending to pick a gift for Kelly West.
Ye Chen asked Xiao Churan, "Honey, have you thought about what you want to give her?"
Xiao Churan nodded repeatedly and said, "I have already thought about it. I plan to give her an Hermes handbag. I have seen her interviews before. It is said that she likes Hermes very much, and she also has a hobby of collecting Hermes bags. Since that's the case, I might as well cater to her preferences and give her one, which can also show my sincerity."
Ye Chen laughed, "Since that's the case, then choose a more expensive bag when we get to the store later. As for the money, you don't have to worry at all. Your husband still has a lot here."
Xiao Churan hurriedly said, "No need, honey. I have also saved a lot of savings during this period. Let me do this matter myself. Otherwise, I will feel bad in my heart."
Ye Chen did not insist too much and smiled, "Then you should act according to your ability later and don't buy too expensive gifts."
Xiao Churan smiled sweetly and said, "I have already checked on the official website. There is a bag called the Birkin series, which is currently the best-selling, and the price is not too expensive. If you don't choose very scarce materials and workmanship, it is about a little over one hundred thousand."
Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, "A bag at this price point is already quite good."
Afterwards, the two came to the door of the Hermes store. At this time, outside the store door, there was already a long queue of dozens of people.
According to the staff outside the door, this is because there are too many customers in the store, and their store is a one-on-one sales service. Now all the sales are bringing customers, so the store has started to limit the flow.
In order to queue to enter the store, the two waited outside for a full half an hour.
Half an hour later, the security guard outside the door said to Ye Chen and Xiao Churan who were at the front of the queue, "Please come in, two of you. Our shopping guide will serve you immediately."
As he was speaking, a young man with an enthusiastic smile on his face walked quickly toward the two,
Just after meeting, the man introduced himself, "Good noon, two of you. My name is Vivian, and I am the shopping guide for the two of you. I don't know what the two of you want to see?"
Xiao Churan said without thinking, "Hello, I want to buy a 30cm Birkin bag. I don't know if there is any stock?"
The shopping guide smiled and said, "Haha, lady, you have a good eye. Our Birkin series has always been a super best-selling model. There are many users registered for pre-order, but the quantity arriving in each period is very, very small. So if you want to get the bag as soon as possible, you may need to buy more things in our store to raise your membership level, and then the chance of winning the lottery will be greater!"
Hearing this, Xiao Churan asked in surprise, "Isn't it purchased directly according to the counter price of the bag?"
The shopping guide immediately put away his smile, and his tone was a bit sarcastic, "The lady should be shopping at Hermes for the first time, right? In our store, there is no bag sold at the counter price. You have to buy some other accessories more or less. Otherwise, it is impossible to sell it to you."
Xiao Churan then came back to her senses and asked, "Need to buy some other accessories? Is this what is said on the Internet as matching goods?"
The shopping guide said as a matter of course, "Yes, if you want to buy an Hermes bag now, this is the rule, no matter which country you are in, it is the same."
Xiao Churan asked tentatively, "Then I want to buy a Birkin 30, how much money do I need to match?"
The shopping guide said contemptuously, "The 30cm Birkin bag has always been super popular. Even if you match the goods, it is not guaranteed that you will definitely get the bag. Of course, the more goods you match, the higher the priority, and the greater the probability of getting the bag. Whether you can get the bag depends on whether your level and priority can rush to the front."
Ye Chen didn't like the shopping guide's hidden routine. Recalling the last time he bought Hermes for his wife and father-in-law, the shopping guide said directly a specific amount of 500,000 for matching goods. Although Ye Chen was very unhappy with this way of matching goods, by comparison, he still preferred to be more direct.
So, he said to the shopping guide, "Don't beat around the bush. Just tell me directly, to buy a Birkin 30, how much money do I need to match?"
