Chapter 350 Blocking the Road

"Vacheron Constantin 9700c-001R-B187?" Su Wei has never researched the model of Vacheron Constantin watch.

You can't say that. It should be said that he has basically not researched the watches he has never bought.

Why do I say basically, not an affirmative sentence?

Because Su Wei has studied Patek Philippe’s 6002G.

After all, Patek Philippe has already begun custom-making that watch, and it will be delivered to him before his birthday next year.

"Yes, it is our Vacheron Constantin 9700c-001R-B187.

Its surface is a crocodile case carved from 18K gold, with a crocodile pattern engraved on the side of the case.

It is carved using two techniques: relief and line carving. Each scale of the crocodile on the case has a different thickness and is full of changes under different angles and light." Stephen took out the tablet and turned it over.

Crocodile Totem.

Then he gave Su Wei and the others a detailed introduction to every detail of the crocodile totem.

The watch introduced by Stephen this time can really be said to represent Vacheron Constantin’s highest level of craftsmanship.

Stephen would recommend this watch to Su Wei because the watch in Su Wei's hand is really top-notch.

If you want to find something better than it, of course there is, and there are quite a few.

But those watches have basically been sold, and all that can be found is this giant crocodile totem.

One of the reasons why it hasn't been sold is because it wasn't finished for a long time.

The second one is because of its twin brother, Feng Laiyi, who produced several pieces.

And it is much more expensive than Youfenglai Yi, which is why it has not been sold yet.

After all, the two watches, Crocodile Totem and Youfeng Laiyi, have the same appearance except for the different patterns.

"Then what function does it have? My watch is missing the minute repeater, so I feel very sorry for this." Su Wei meant that if it doesn't have the minute repeater, don't go on.

After all, the reason why he bought the watch this time was for the super top watch.

This watch given by Wang Xiaoyuan would have been top-notch if not for the lack of three questions.

However, if three questions had been added at that time, Wang Xiaoyuan might not be able to afford it at this price.

"Then this watch has too many functions. It contains 15 functions, and this watch is also a double-sided watch.

The front of the watch includes minute repeaters, equation of time, tourbillon, perpetual calendar, power reserve, sunrise time and sunset time.

The back of the watch includes a starry sky chart, solstices, equinoxes, sidereal time, age and phase of the moon, as well as seasons and constellations. The "Crocodile Totem" watch is compared to Patek Philippe's 6002G.

Therefore, its functions are all on par with 6002, or even surpass it.

The Vacheron Constantin brand may indeed be very stylish now, but its Loft Craftsman series and ordinary models are completely different things.

People who really understand watches will not look at Vacheron Constantin’s ordinary models.

"This has so many functions, can it be put on one watch?" The watch in Zhang Ruoyu's hand only has two functions: moon phase and perpetual calendar.

But the size of her watch is already 42 mm in diameter.

She couldn't imagine how big the watch would be with so many functions packed into the case.

“Beautiful lady, this watch is our top watch of the year in 2017. Of course it has all these functions.

You can take a look, this is what the watch looks like." When Stephen saw Zhang Ruoyu questioning him, he clicked on the video.

What was just shown to Su Wei and the others was a picture of the giant crocodile totem.

What Su Wei and the others are shown now is the actual video of the annual watch king.

Since there is only one of this watch, no promotional video was made.

"Is this watch available in your store?" Su Wei fell in love with the watch the first time he saw it.

Because he thinks this watch is really domineering.

It is two different beauties than Patek Philippe’s 6002G.

"This watch is Vacheron Constantin's top watch in 2017, and it is now at its headquarters in Geneva." This kind of top-notch watch is definitely not available here in London.

It's not that they can't get the goods here, but it's more troublesome to get the goods.

In this case, Stephen plans to ask Su Wei to go to Geneva and buy it directly.

If you want to buy a watch here, it is not easy to come here, and it will be troublesome if you don't make a deal.

"If I buy it now, can I buy it?" Su Wei had no special feelings about going to Geneva.

Anyway, I’m going to Paris tomorrow, and Switzerland is right next to France.

He was afraid that this kind of watch would restrict the crowd like Patek Philippe.

"This watch is only sold to our super VIPs. If the name of the watch in your hand is yours, sir, then of course you are fully qualified to buy it." The watch in Su Wei's hand is already a top-level Vacheron Constantin watch.

Although there is a gap between it and the giant crocodile totem, the gap between them is not as big as imagined.

As long as this watch bears Su Wei's name, he is certainly qualified to buy the crocodile totem.

"I'm not sure whether it's my name or not, because it was given to me by my girlfriend.

But if this watch doesn’t have my name on it, then if I buy a few more watches, can I become a super VIP?” Not to mention this top-notch watch, it is just an ordinary watch.

Those are watches that will record the name of the customer and the time he bought it.

If you buy more, you will become the brand's VIP.

If there are any limited editions, these VIPs will be the first to select them.

"I can't guarantee this, but I think it should be no problem." Buy a few watches and become a super VIP, of course there is no problem.

But it also depends on what kind of watch you buy. If you buy a limited edition, the most you can do is become a VIP.

If you want to become a super VIP, you must buy a relatively limited edition.

"That's no problem. I'll go to Geneva in a few days. You can apply for it for me. Then I'll go there directly and become a super VIP." Su Wei originally planned to buy a watch for Zhang Ruoyu here.

But now I have to go to Geneva to buy the Vacheron Constantin crocodile totem.

If Su Wei buys a watch for Zhang Ruoyu, he will definitely not be in a hurry.

After all, it is the headquarters, and if you want to buy a watch, you have a wider choice.

"Okay sir, there is no problem with any of this"

...

"Mr. Su, do you really want to buy that watch? I think the price of this watch will definitely not be cheap." After coming out of the Vacheron Constantin store, Zhang Ruoyu hurriedly advised Su Wei.

After all, buying that watch is not an easy thing.

If you want to buy this watch, you must first become a super VIP of the brand.

And to become a super VIP, you must spend millions.

If he buys a watch he doesn't like just to buy this watch, Zhang Ruoyu doesn't think it's necessary.

"I bought it just because it was not cheap. If it were really cheap, I wouldn't buy it yet." The watch in Su Wei's hands now is actually in a rather embarrassing state.

Because the top watch in his hand is really a Richard Mille 10th Anniversary Edition.

But this watch is only worn when showing off and going to nightclubs. Su Wei doesn't wear it at other times.

After all, he has traveled through time for half a year now, and he is no longer the country bumpkin he was before.

"Mr. Su, are we still shopping now? In fact, we are almost going to the auction house now." During today's shopping trip, Xu Liyang really bought a lot of things.

When she was alone before, she really didn't buy many things.

But today I went shopping with Zhang Ruoyu and unknowingly spent nearly 30,000 pounds.

The main thing is that when Zhang Ruoyu sees something she likes, she takes action.

Xu Liyang bought so many things because she was like this.

If she hadn't been successful in bringing down the Yang Group this time and Su Wei had given her a relatively high reward, then she really wouldn't be able to afford it.

"It's only one o'clock now, do you need to be in such a hurry?" Although Su Wei bought a lot of things, he hadn't done enough shopping yet.

The main reason is that he also plans to go to the Patek Philippe store to ask if he can hit 6002G.

After all, Patek Philippe’s 6002G is different from Vacheron Constantin’s crocodile totem.

Although it is also a limited edition, it is sold for dozens of dollars now, and it comes in more than one color.

This time Patek Philippe customized a blue and white gold model for him.

The 6002G is also available in black platinum and black rose gold.

Su Wei just plans to buy another color so that he can wear the two watches interchangeably.

"That's almost it, because the auction house is near the hotel where we are staying." Xu Liyang and the others came today and went to Buckingham Palace first.

After going to Buckingham Palace, go to Bond Street.

If they want to go back to the Bulgari Hotel, they have to go through Buckingham Palace first.

"It's so far, okay, Old Liu, let's go back." Su Wei really didn't know at first that the auction house was near the hotel.

If he had known earlier, he must have arranged to come to Bond Street at night.

That way you don't have to worry about taking pictures of yachts, and the second one is that you can go shopping in one go.

"Sister Xu, do you have enough time? I want to go back and change clothes first." After walking for so long, Zhang Ruoyu's clothes were already sweating.

She definitely didn't want Su Wei to smell the sweat all over her body when she entered the auction.

So she wanted to go back to the hotel first, preferably to take a shower and change some clothes.

"There is still enough time, because the auction time of that yacht should be around five o'clock in the afternoon." This time, the starting price of the Leshun superyacht is as high as 150 million euros.

Such an expensive auction item must of course be placed at the finale.

At the beginning, the auction house will use some low-value lots to make the atmosphere hot.

When the final lot comes on the market, it is likely to fetch 10% to 20% more than the price.

"Since there's no rush, let's all go back and change clothes. We must be sweating after walking for so long." After Su Wei looked at Zhang Ruoyu, he decided to go back and change clothes.

After all, even if you really don't buy this yacht, it only proves that it has no fate with you.

The worst thing I can do is book a new super yacht directly from Leshun.

"Mr. Su, thank you"

...

"Xiao Zhang, did we just pass by a Chinese restaurant?" Su Wei and the others were on their way to the auction house after changing clothes.

Su Wei saw the sign of a Chinese restaurant on the side of the road.

What he eats these days is basically French food.

Now he just wants to eat some Chinese food.

"It seems so. Mr. Su, why don't we eat here tonight? I've been eating Western food these past few days, and my stomach is protesting." After coming to Europe, Zhang Ruoyu felt like she was here to endure hardship.

If you eat too much of something like steak, you will really get tired of it.

She just wants to eat some braised pork and some sweet and sour pork ribs.

If not, you can just give her a bucket of instant noodles.

When she first came to London, Zhang Ruoyu thought it would be great if she could stay here for a long time.

But now she doesn't feel that way. She thinks she should return to China because she has a Chinese stomach.

"Mr. Su, Ruoyu, you must not have too high expectations for Chinese restaurants in London, otherwise you will easily feel disappointed." Xu Liyang has been in Europe for more than half a month.

She knows that in places like Europe, the taste of Chinese food is really incomparable to that in China.

If you go there with the idea of ​​eating in a domestic restaurant, you would be really wrong.

"We understand that the dishes here are all catered to the tastes of foreigners, right?

Is that auction house in front of us where we are going this time?" Although Su Wei has never been abroad, he still knows the meaning of doing as the Romans do.

For example, he has heard of lucky dumplings or General Tso's chicken.

"Yes, the auction house in front is Christie's Auction House, and this is where the yacht is being auctioned." The undertaking company this time is Christie's Auction House.

And his location is Christie's auction house in South Kensington.

Although the first Christie's in London was not located here, the venue here was much larger.

"The security here didn't even care, they just let us in." Zhang Ruoyu felt so amazing. She felt that the security at the door was not responsible for the security of her community.

They walked in so grandly, and the security guards acted as if they hadn't seen them.

She has also been to the Magic City Auction House, which was much more heavily guarded than here.

If such a group of people comes over, they will definitely come and ask.

"The first half of the auction house is usually a place where collections are introduced. No one is in charge here. Anyone can come in." When Xu Liyang came here before, she was also very curious about this.

Later, through conversation, I learned that the previous area was the place for introduction.

And the collection changes every day, so it attracts many people to come and look.

If you like a collection, pay a deposit later and enter the auction room.

The amount of this deposit is also determined based on the price of the collection.

If the collection is photographed and the balance is not paid, the deposit will be forfeited.

"Hello, sir and madam, this is the auction room. You can't enter without a number plate." Just as Su Wei and the others were about to enter the auction room, they were stopped by several security guards at the door.

The reason why they stopped Su Wei and his friends was also very simple, that is, they didn't have number plates.

"I've already paid the deposit, why can't I go in?" Seeing that the boss was stopped, Xu Liyang quickly took out her deposit certificate.

But when she saw the security guard's expression, she had no intention of letting them pass.

At this time, Xu Liyang thought that she had been defrauded of money before.

If she was defrauded of money, she would be doomed.

After all, although Su Wei rewarded her with more than one million yuan last time, it was only RMB.

The deposit she paid last time was one million pounds.

"This won't work, you have to change it to a number plate." When the security guard saw the deposit certificate, of course he wouldn't let me go.

After all, their duty is to stop people without number plates.

And with this voucher, they can't hold up a sign to bid.

They were about to explain to Xu Liyang that they could just go to the office next to them and change their number plates.

"Give way, don't block the road, please stand aside if you don't have a number plate."
