Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Like a Nouveau Riche_1

For Wang Ye, the United States was neither a paradise nor a hell, and he never wanted to settle down in the United States.

Because he knew that he might be able to integrate into Russia’s elite circle, as there was no emphasis on pure blood lineage, as evidenced by the past leaders.

But he would never fit into the elite circles of the United States, a seemingly open immigrant country, attracting elites from all over the world. But in reality, it is dominantly conservative Ansas and Jewish.

The only significance for him here might be to make money...

......

Entering the store, a middle-aged sales guide immediately came over.

In these top-notch watch stores, particularly in Europe and the United States, sales guides are not like those young, beautiful saleswomen you would see in luxury shops like Chanel and Hermes.

These top-notch watch shops preferred older male sales guides, like the forty-something man standing before them.

"Sir, madam, how may I assist you?" the salesman asked with a smile on his face.

At the same time, he was also speculating in his heart about the identity and purchasing power of the young couple standing before him.

For salespeople, especially those with many years of sales experience, their vision is cutting-edge!

They could judge at a glance if a customer was a genuine buyer and what his or her consumption level was.

The young man and woman who just entered the shop were quietly assessed by him.

Both were very young, seemingly in their early twenties, and appeared to be a couple.

The young man seemed to be Asian, while the girl with blonde hair and green eyes looked somewhat European.

The reason he deduced that the girl wasn’t American was that most American girls have rough skin and a face full of freckles...

This girl, though, had skin as delicate and smooth as porcelain, which was almost unheard of in the United States.

However, how pretty the girl was not his concern as all sorts of customers came to this kind of store and beautiful women were commonplace.

For the sales guide, what he was more interested in, of course, was the person who was paying, usually the man...

After just a few glances, the sales guide had already made up his mind: this was a genuinely wealthy person!

Not from the way the young man was dressed, but from his demeanor!

Ordinary people, even those with some purchasing power, would usually be cautious when they came into a Patek Philippe store.

Because they knew that the price of any watch here was astronomical, likely costing what they’d earn from months or even years of hard work.

So, whether they stepped in just to have a look and broaden their horizons,

or they genuinely liked watches and had saved up for years, gritting their teeth to buy a rather entry-level Patek Philippe,

they would all have some degree of nervousness in their expression, which an experienced sales guide would instantly recognize.

Of course, there were also customers who would enter the store as if it were uninhabited, or casually like stepping into a breakfast parlor in the morning.

Without any doubt, such individuals were ones with extremely high purchasing power.

Even a Patek Philippe with an exorbitant price tag was as easy for them to buy as a cup of coffee.

Right now, the expression on this young man was precisely as such...

......

Hearing the sales guide’s greeting, Wang Ye casually said: "Do you have all the styles here? I want to buy a few watches for friends."

Upon hearing that he was going to buy "several," the male sales guide’s smile became even brighter.

"Of course! Our store is the largest Patek Philippe flagship store in California, featuring a variety of styles. However, we might not carry some rare styles."

Wang Ye didn’t intend to buy any rare styles. He wasn’t a collector anyway. Buying some high-end styles should suffice for a gift.

He said: "Let’s start with the men’s styles. Well, we need the complicated styles. There’s a feature called Moon Phase, isn’t there?"

Hearing his words, the sales guide’s mouth broadened even more, and he could hardly contain his excited joy!

The complicated models of Patek Philippe are exorbitantly priced, some costing tens of thousands or even more than a hundred thousand US dollars...

"Sir, please come this way. Over here are all the men’s watches," he hastily guided.

Approaching the glass counter on the left, Wang Ye bent down to take a look, then pointed and said, "This one, this one...and those three."

He chose seven or six styles in one breath. Any watch he thought was fairly beautiful was pointed out. As for the price, he didn’t need to check at all.

The sales guide had already put on the white gloves, preparing to take out those watches for Wang Ye to try on.

But before he could do so, Wang Ye waved his hand and said, "Don’t bother. Just pack them up. I’ll take all of them. Oh, that watch is quite beautiful; just take it out, and I’ll wear it now. I didn’t bring a watch."

While speaking, Wang Ye pointed to one of the watches.

This was a watch with a platinum case, an alligator strap, and a moon phase feature, which looked extremely elegant.

Yes, it matched Wang Ye’s temperament!

Although the middle-aged male sales guide was outwardly calm, his hands were shaking a little. The few watches that Wang Ye casually pointed out were among the most expensive in the store, totaling close to a million US dollars!

The number of one million US dollars might sound light, but for anyone, even for the affluent Americans, that is an exaggerated figure!

"Very well, sir. I’ll get that out for you," the sales guide hastened to retrieve the specific watch Wang Ye had pointed out and eagerly helped Wang Ye put it on.

Wang Ye rasied his wrist, took a look and nodded in satisfaction.

He then said, "Okay, that’s enough for the men’s watches. Let’s select a few women’s styles, keep it simple... bring me five... no, make it ten. Kaja, you go and browse, help me choose."

He was too lazy to choose anymore, directly letting Kaja choose was fine; after all, girls better understand what girls like.

Why did he purchase more women’s watches? It was because Wang Ye had made a count and found there were more women than men on his gift list...

People like Kaja, Angelina, Ruan Xiaozhu, Nalan Yaqi definitely had to be gifted.

As for Natalia, Nova, Wang Dan and others, it would depend on the situation.

Also, he might go back to his country for the Spring Festival, and there was his mom at home! He must prepare gifts!

With this count, he probably had to give out about ten to twenty watches.

......

In just over ten minutes, Wang Ye selected eighteen watches, and the bill came to almost two million dollars when he swiped his card to pay!

Fortunately, the card he used had no spending limit.

His performance today looked a bit "nouveau riche," but for someone as wealthy as him, it was more appropriately called "being true to oneself, acting according to one’s nature"...
