After resting for a while in the Royal Suite, Chen Dongcheng directly asked Julie to arrange a courtesy car.
Take the courtesy car to the Patek Philippe Mansion.
The location of Patek Philippe Yuandi is very good, just at No. 33 on the Bund.
The Rolls-Royce drove into the courtyard, and Xie Jingyu got out of the car and opened the door for Chen Dongcheng.
A two-story small foreign-style building with the characteristics of a blend of Eastern and Western cultures immediately caught Chen Dongcheng's eyes.
The exterior walls are mainly made of red bricks and tiles, supplemented by ancient Greek-style stone columns and pilasters.
The porch and floor-to-ceiling windows are decorated with exquisite and delicate patterns, and the walls have faint traces of mottled time.
As soon as Chen Dongcheng walked through the door, he felt like traveling through time and space.
The portraits of Mr. Patek and Mr. Philippe hanging on the wall on the side of the door are very attractive and hint at the origin of Patek Philippe.
"I am Anna, the manager of Patek Philippe Mansion in Shanghai. I welcome Mr. Chen."
A female manager came over with a smile.
Chen Dongcheng smiled and nodded to her: "Thank you."
In the lobby on the first floor, small booths can be seen everywhere.
Inside, there are watches from various series of Patek Philippe, which look even more dazzling against the backdrop of crystal lamps.
"Mr. Chen, please follow me to the second floor."
Yuandi has two floors in total, and the stairs are covered with dark red carpets.
Chen Dongcheng walked up the century-old teak stairs.
The second floor of Yuandi is a VIP room, private and elegant.
The timepiece exhibition hall in the middle of the second floor displays Patek Philippe's precious collection.
Including super complex function series watches and rare craft series timepieces, each small booth only has one.
Chen Dongcheng was very enthusiastic about several of them, and Anna introduced them with a smile.
"Mr. Chen, due to the regulations of the headquarters, the highest priced watch in our Patek Philippe Garden is only 1.5 million. I hope you can forgive me for this."
"understand."
Chen Dongcheng followed Anna into a VIP room with a comfortable and elegant layout.
The floor is covered with blue and white patterned carpets, and a solid wood table is placed in the center of the VIP room.
After Chen Dongcheng took his seat, Anna sat opposite Chen Dongcheng.
"Mr. Chen, let me confirm with you again that the model you want to buy this time is 5160g."
"That's right."
"Then please wait a moment, I will go get your watch right now."
Anna smiled and asked: "What would you like to drink?"
"coffee."
Anna went to get her watch, and soon someone brought a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Chen Dongcheng.
"Mr. Chen, please use it slowly."
Chen Dongcheng took a sip and found that the coffee tasted good.
Anna came over after a while, holding an exquisite brown patterned watch box in her hand.
Anna put on her gloves, opened the watch box, took out this 5160g model, and helped Chen Dongcheng try it on.
This is a perfect watch that brings humanities and art to the extreme.
Chen Dongcheng noticed that there are beautiful hand-engraved carvings on the back of the dial, coupled with a 38mm milky white dial.
It is restrained but not low-key at all, and exudes classic beauty.
The black square scale alligator leather strap is more comfortable and lighter than the metal strap.
"Tell me the price."
Chen Dongcheng asked the price directly without taking the watch off his wrist.
"1.27 million."
"Mr. Chen, there are no discounts at the two Patek Philippe Houses in China, which we regret."
Chen Dongcheng also knows the virtues of Patek Philippe.
It's impossible to get discounts at the two original residences in Shanghai and the capital, and it's too troublesome to go to Xiangjiang.
"I understand, where can I pay?"
"Please wait a moment, I will bring all the contracts that you need to sign."
Anna was startled for a moment, then quickly replied.
In less than ten minutes, Chen Dongcheng completed all the procedures and became a member of Patek Philippe.
Chen Dongcheng took a look at the Patek Philippe membership card. There was nothing special about it, so he threw it directly to Xie Jingyu.
"Mr. Chen, we have prepared celebratory champagne for you, please move over."
Anna smiled and invited Chen Dongcheng to the lounge on the second floor.
Customers who come to Patek Philippe to buy watches can have a drink here.
When a customer purchases a high-end watch, the staff will open champagne here to celebrate.
There is no doubt that the piece of 5160g purchased by Chen Dongcheng qualifies Patek Philippe to open a bottle of champagne for him.
Chen Dongcheng didn't pay much attention. He smiled and took a sip before getting up and leaving the Patek Philippe Mansion.
The Rolls-Royce at the door has been waiting for Chen Dongcheng. Xie Jingyu sat sideways in the passenger seat and asked.
"Director Chen, I made an appointment with Mao Wenchao, the founder of Xiaohongshu. He wants to meet you at their company at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay, I understand."
"Jingyu, recommend a bar to me. I want to go to the bar tonight."
Xie Jingyu thought for a while and said: "For bars, I personally recommend muse2.
I went on a business trip with my boss before and was entertained several times. The environment and the quality of the beauties were both good.
Several other nightclubs are either messy or tacky, so I personally don’t recommend you go there.”
Chen Dongcheng also went to a nightclub, but that was several years later.
I really don’t know much about the current nightclub situation in Shanghai.
Xie Jingyu added: "If you want to go, I'll call right now. I have the sales number of that bar."
"Then book a booth and go there later."
"OK."
Xie Jingyu nodded, turned around, took out his cell phone and started looking for the number.
The Rolls-Royce drove back to the hotel, and Xie Jingyu opened the door for Chen Dongcheng.
"Director Chen, we have been contacted. We can go there at any time."
"good."
I just had a bite in the hotel, there are no decent restaurants in Kempinski.
You have to go to a bar at least nine o'clock, otherwise there will be no atmosphere at all.
Chen Dongcheng went to the spa on the top floor of Kempinski.
Instruct Julie to call a decent-looking physiotherapist for a massage.
The massage technique was moderate. Chen Dongcheng enjoyed the massage from the therapist. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the spa room, he overlooked the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Huangpu River.
At the end of the 90-minute deep muscle body massage, Chen Dongcheng felt that all the fatigue in his muscles was gone.
There are very few people coming to the spa at Kempinski, and the whole massage process is very quiet.
In a happy mood, Chen Dongcheng put a check mark next to the 20% tip ratio.
When the young lady saw it, she was particularly surprised: "Thank you, sir."
The massage fee is 998, and most customers will choose the lowest 10% tip.
There were not many people at the Kempinski Spa, and Chen Dongcheng was the most generous customer that the young lady had encountered this month.
I went back to the suite and changed my clothes. The temperature difference between morning and evening in Shanghai was still quite big.
"Dr. Chen, I have chosen two sets for you, a Zegna formal suit and a Burberry casual suit."
Chen Dongcheng walked over and took a look. Ermenegildo Zegna's was a black formal suit, suitable for meeting Mao Wenchao tomorrow.
This casual outfit from Burberry is just right for going to a nightclub at night.
Don't wear too much when going to nightclubs. Many girls wear dresses when going to nightclubs.
Once the atmosphere gets louder, it's too hot to wear a T-shirt.
"Yes, I quite like them all."
Chen Dongcheng asked Xie Jingyu to put the formal suit in the closet, put on the Burberry casual suit and walked out of the room.
Chen Dongcheng is still very satisfied with his secretary.
There are plenty of women, so there is no need for a female secretary to hang out in front of him all day long. It is more convenient to leave some things to a male secretary.
