How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

Patek Philippe owns three salons and two Yuendis.

The two Yuendis are in Shanghai and Beijing respectively.

Essentially, they are no different from salons, mainly named to cater specifically to the Hua Country market.

The three salons are in London, Paris, and Geneva.

The Geneva Salon, located in Geneva where the Patek Philippe headquarters is situated, is also known as the Patek Philippe flagship store. All watches purchased from any Patek Philippe branch are dispatched from the Geneva flagship store.

For this reason, the Geneva Patek Philippe flagship store almost attracts the attention of all watch enthusiasts around the world.

Here, as long as you have money, you can buy any of the watches Patek Philippe currently sells without waiting.

.....

As one of Geneva’s most famous landmarks, the Geneva Salon on Rhone Avenue is currently attracting countless tourists who flock here. Perhaps they don’t possess the qualifications to shop inside, but many opt to take photos to commemorate their visit.

As usual, although there are many who come to take photos, the Geneva Salon does not interfere but is very welcoming instead.

After all, the ability to attract so many tourists proves the influence of the Patek Philippe brand.

But today is different...

The general manager of the Geneva Salon had already come downstairs and stood at the door ten minutes ago, apparently waiting for someone...

The normally amiable staff were also all sternly asking tourists to clear a path.

Nicole Carman, the general manager of the Geneva Salon, seeing that some people were already displeased with their actions, then put on a forced smile and addressed the crowd, "I apologize, our salon will soon receive a few esteemed guests. To ensure a seamless entry experience, we need to clear the passage outside the store. We hope you understand the inconvenience this may cause."

After speaking, Nicole Carman graciously bowed slightly to them and then stood straight again, waiting at the door...

If it weren’t for maintaining the brand’s prestige, Nicole Carman wouldn’t have chosen to apologize to these people.

Having been the general manager here for several years, Nicole Carman knew very well that among these so-called tourists, it was remarkable if even one in ten thousand could afford to shop inside.

For those who contribute nothing to Patek Philippe’s revenue, being this accommodating was already a mark of high employee quality at Patek Philippe...

There couldn’t really be someone naive enough to think that even if you were a commoner, walking into these luxury stores, they would still treat you equally, right? Being polite to you on the surface is only to avoid offending the majority.

If offending the general public would not create a media stir or affect brand impact, for a brand like Patek Philippe where even the cheapest watches cost tens of thousands of euros, it’s possible they might even implement a policy that "only millionaires can enter the store."

The tourists from around the world, hearing this, also became curious.

Who are these distinguished guests that could make Patek Philippe cater to them with such care?

Suddenly...

A series of dense sounds of tire friction emerged...

Over ten pure black Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedans and four Maybach vans orderly parked next to the street in front of the Patek Philippe store...

A group of bodyguards wearing black suits didn’t need any instructions as they disembarked and walked towards the four Maybachs while four bodyguards went to the rear seats of the Maybachs, gently opened the doors, and subtly shielded the roof with their hands.

Not until Gu Heng, Frederick, Nicolas, and Douglas stepped out did all eyes converge on them.

The bodyguards, already experienced in avoiding gawking, instantly pulled out black umbrellas from beside the doors, flicked them open, and duly held them over the heads of the four gentlemen, cleverly blocking much of the crowd’s view without obstructing their vision...

Gu Heng, feeling the grandeur of this entrance, subtly curled his lips...

Although this ostentatious manner of arrival was a bit tacky, it’s needless to say, the ’cool’ factor was quite substantial...

Nicole Carman, seeing the guests he had been waiting for more than ten minutes finally arriving, immediately shifted his hypocritical smile to an obsequious one as he approached the four men...

"Mr. Frederick, welcome to Patek Philippe."

First, he greeted Frederick Arnault, then bowed deferentially to Gu Heng and the others, as if an ancient eunuch in the presence of an emperor...

Frederick Arnault, seeing this, showed little change in his expression and flatly said, "I’m just accompanying friends today, you don’t need to attend to me. This is my friend, Gu Heng."

After that, he gestured towards Gu Heng.

Nicole Carman, getting the clue, respectfully greeted Gu Heng.

Gu Heng slightly curved his lips in a disdainful smile.

But with Nicole Carman’s keen perception, he quickly noticed Gu Heng’s displeasure and trembled inwardly... @@novelbin@@

Just as Nicole Carman was about to inquire the reason, Gu Heng spoke up, "Two months ago, I bought a watch at the Shanghai Yuendi in Hua Country, but the shipping from your Geneva headquarters has been quite slow and it has not been dispatched yet."
