Hermes
bags were expensive and there were very few of them. This brand had an extremely strict manufacturing process for their bags. Every one of them was hand-made, using the best leather, and even the color had reached an extremely harsh level.
The three most famous series of Hermes bags were Birkin, Constance, and Kelly, known as BKC. The cheapest one cost about 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. Most men had no idea about the price of a woman's bag. Of course, the prices of other luxury brands might not be so exaggerated, but Hermes was the existence standing on the crown, and it was also the dream of countless women.
Because the production of these bags was limited, they were naturally expensive. In fact, the appearance of these Hermes bags was not particularly different. Every year, the new models would generally only change in details. In addition to the luxury premium and size, the most important thing about the price of the bag was the leather.
For example, the lady who was asking the counter lady at the Hermes store asked about the TOGO leather. This was the entry-level leather of his family. The leather was made of bull, which was the cheapest kind mentioned above.
However, the rarer an item was, the more valuable it was. It was precisely because of this that Hermès stores had some bad rules when selling bags, which was 'distribution!'
What was distribution? To put it simply, it was a bundled sale. If you wanted to buy a bag worth 50,000 yuan, if you really came to the Hermes store with 50,000 yuan, no matter what bag you wanted to buy, the cashier would definitely say no, just like this lady in front of her.
If you really wanted to buy it, you had to buy some other Hermès products to make up the money. Only then would they sell it to you. Generally, the ratio of distribution was between 0.5 to 1.5. For example, if you wanted to buy a Hermès bag worth 50,000 yuan, you would have to spend at least 75,000 yuan. That 25,000 yuan would require you to buy other things from the Hermès brand. This was the lowest ratio.
Although this kind of bundled sales was not good, it had long become an unspoken rule for Hermès customers and sales. Everyone had a tacit understanding that it was also a way to raise their standards. This also made the girls who had Hermès bags more vain when they held them in their hands. Hermès became a symbol of status, and the tellers also received a higher commission from this kind of bundled sales.
Therefore, Hermes bags were very popular in the second-hand market because there was no need to stock them in the second-hand market. In addition, bags could be used for a long time as long as they were maintained well. Some girls who had worked hard to save money gritted their teeth and bought second-hand ones.
However, the distribution of goods was not absolute. For example, in some small cities where the consumption level was not high, there happened to be a Hermès store, or if a bag in the store was overstocked for too long, they would sell it directly to you. This situation was generally rare and required luck. It was even more impossible to buy the one that one liked. Those that could not be sold were unpopular or the color was not good.
The lady who came to Hermès to buy bags should have understood the trick. It seemed that she was here to try her luck. Chen Yi shook his head secretly. This store was the largest store in Shanghai. How could she encounter such luck here?
As for the reason why the man was embarrassed, it was probably because he was poor. It made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. What men were most afraid of was losing face. His girlfriend couldn't even buy a handbag, and he had to be looked down upon by the cashier. Which ordinary man could endure it? If he was really rich, there wouldn't be so many things.
Chen Yi casually sized up the couple. Both of them were around 27 or 28 years old. They probably had an annual income of 200,000 yuan. At this age, having such an income was already considered very good even in a big city. However, even so, in front of these top-notch luxury goods, they were not even qualified to be brothers. It was so troublesome to buy a bag because they had to spend tens of thousands of yuan to distribute the goods. Ordinary people would feel their hearts bleed bleed.
It was so difficult for an ordinary person to buy a luxury item, but for those who were truly rich, these were all basic living expenses. Didn't you see that those top socialites and Hermes bags were all placed in a cabinet? These things were not luxury items at all to them. They were completely cabbages.
The life of a rich person was really something to look forward to.
Chen Yi retracted his gaze and smiled at the salesperson beside him."…I'll pick out the clothes.”
The young lady was in her twenties and had a good temperament. According to Chen Yi's score, she was definitely a beauty with a score of 80 or 90 points if she put on makeup. She was dressed in a proper business suit, and it was obvious that she had undergone some basic training. Wearing a pair of stockings, Yu Mu stood there, looking like a flight attendant.
A luxury store like Hermes was just like a luxury hotel like Ritz Carlton. They placed great importance on the image and temperament of their employees. They might not be particularly beautiful, but they had to have temperament.
At the very least, Chen Yi was sure that this sales lady was definitely the target of many men in her daily life.
The form of buying everything with a wave of his hand seemed imposing, but Chen Yi did not like it. Instead, it was more comfortable to casually pick and choose.
This Odyssee T-shirt was probably the cheapest one here. It was only 3000 yuan. The color was not bad and was suitable for matching. There were two colors, yellow and white, one for each.
The color of the shirt was a slightly dark pink. It would be difficult for an average person to wear it. However, he was now a clothes hanger and had asked Leo to hire a matching artist. He could also buy it and use it as a matching item. It cost more than 8000 yuan each.
Rayures 'round neck T-shirt was a classic black color, but there was a circle of pink at the edge of the collar. It looked very fashionable and cost 7800 yuan.
Hey, I don't really understand the design of this Etudet shirt, but it's stunning. One is in a dark color, and the other is in a light color. I'll take them both and ask the designer to match them. One is 14,000 yuan, and two are 28,000 yuan.
It was still summer. The clothes here were all spring and summer. It was not enough to just buy T-shirts. At the very least, they should buy some shirts. They should buy some slim shirts. The color was monotonous but very warm. It could bring out a warm masculine temperament. It was 6000 yuan to go.
This floral shirt from Catus looks very coquettish. It's suitable for a handsome young man like me. 9500 yuan will do.
Many men did not know how to match clothes, and Chen Yi was the same. Simply put, he was a straight man's aesthetic. The pursuit of beauty was also a knowledge that needed to be learned slowly and well.
However, it didn't matter. He didn't just need money. He just needed to find a fashion designer to help him match his figure. The premise of all this was to buy more clothes of different styles and colors so that the designer could have a choice.
Chen Yi was just casually choosing according to his own aesthetic preferences. In fact, according to his current perfect body proportions, these clothes were all designed by masters. No matter how he wore them, they would not look bad.
The cashier was a little stunned. Looking at Chen Yi's leisurely manner, her first thought was not that she had met a rich man, but that she had met a swindler. However, she did not know if such a good-looking and handsome swindler would be able to deceive her heart.
It couldn't be helped. If a person dressed in street clothes bought clothes like this at Hermès, it would probably make people suspect that he was a scammer. This was why many people would wear Hermès clothes and carry Hermès bags when they went to Hermès to buy things. This was to show their identity.
Real tycoons were not interested in pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. Since you could make people look at you with admiration, why did you have to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger so that people would look down on you first? It was not like you had an M personality.
Chen Yi did not make things difficult for the receptionist. He took out a business card and handed it over. He smiled and said,"When the time comes, send the clothes here.”
The receptionist took the business card and saw the words on it. Her expression immediately changed.
That was the business card that Ritz-Carlton prepared for the presidential suite customers. If the customers went out to buy a lot of things and asked someone to send them to the hotel, they would have to say the hotel name and room number themselves. It would be very Low. They could just hand over the business card and settle it.
As a sales representative of Hermes, he naturally understood luxury goods very well. He also understood the meaning of the Ritz-Carlton presidential suite customer. How could a person who could stay in a presidential suite for 70,000 yuan a night be poor!
Immediately, the attitude of the young lady at the counter became even more enthusiastic. If it was because of Chen Yi's good looks that made her smile with a trace of sincerity, then now her smile was full of sincerity and brilliance.
"Sir, what is your name?"
As she asked for his surname, the young lady was also complaining in her heart. Why did she have to meet such a rich young master who did not play by the rules? Fortunately, there was still a chance to make up for it!
The man and woman who were still arguing with the counter at the side were also looking at this place with their mouths agape. The other saleswomen were not stupid. When they realized that something was wrong, they immediately surrounded Chen Yi with a large group of people, fighting to help Chen Yi get his things.
Did he really meet a rich person?
The two of them thought in surprise.
