Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156: Chapter 108: Happy Troubles (Part 3)

Since they started following Qi Sheng, the two women had certainly seen the world.

Qi Sheng had bought them plenty of luxury goods.

Bags costing tens of thousands, clothes costing over ten thousand—he hadn’t skimped on any of it.

But a watch worth several million was completely beyond their comprehension.

A price that horrifying? That was enough to buy a 300-square-meter luxury flat in Chengdu outright, wasn’t it?

Qi Sheng, however, was unfazed by the price.

"Price isn’t an issue. Bring it out so I can take a look."

"Of course, Mr. Qi. Please wait a moment."

Seeing that Qi Sheng wasn’t the least bit fazed, Zhou Qiong turned and went to the back of the store to retrieve the carefully stored timepiece.

Three minutes later, Zhou Qiong carefully placed a solid wood watch box on the table.

After opening the box, an exquisitely crafted skeleton watch was revealed to the three of them.

"Mr. Qi, would you like me to help you try it on?"

Zhou Qiong saw the look of awe in Qi Sheng’s eyes and immediately felt a sense of relief.

’Barring any surprises, this sale is in the bag.’

’Don’t ask me how I know. It’s just a top seller’s intuition!’

"Yes, please."

Qi Sheng was eager to get his hands on it and feel for himself the allure of a watch with a retail price of over 6.8 million.

"It’s my pleasure."

Zhou Qiong slipped on a pair of black velvet gloves and carefully lifted the watch from its box.

Then, she fastened it onto Qi Sheng’s wrist.

Only after checking and re-checking that it was secure did Zhou Qiong release her hands.

Then, in a voice filled with pride, she began to introduce their store’s crown jewel.

"Mr. Qi, this is the Traditionnelle model 30030/000P-8200. The case is crafted from the finest grade of precious metal, 950 platinum."

"The only other timepiece crafted from this material is the ’King of Watches’ from Patek Philippe."

"Furthermore, in addition to its top-tier tourbillon mechanism, this watch is also equipped with a minute repeater complication."

"Of the three grand complications, the minute repeater is the most intricate, and also the most expensive."

"Skeleton watches with a minute repeater function are exceedingly rare, across all brands worldwide."

"Most importantly, the Caliber 1755 movement used in this watch was introduced in 1992. Only 200 were ever made."

"Due to its rarity, this movement is exclusively used in Vacheron Constantin’s own top-of-the-line models."

"You could say that each one used is one less in the world, and now, they are completely out of production."

Qi Sheng lifted his hand, admiring the watch on his wrist, and couldn’t help but feel impressed.

Through the sapphire crystal, he could clearly see the inner workings of the watch.

Countless gears whirred in a methodical dance.

The centers of some gears were even set with brilliant purple jewels.

Compared to a regular watch, the fully skeletonized design allowed one to appreciate the beauty of the mechanism more directly.

This was no longer a simple watch.

It was more like an exquisite work of art worthy of collection.

The only drawback was, compared to a standard dial, the time markers on the skeleton face weren’t particularly clear.

But Qi Sheng wasn’t buying a watch just to tell time anyway.

As long as it looked good, he liked it, and it was prestigious, that was enough.

"I’ll take this watch!"

Zhou Qiong had been waiting patiently for Qi Sheng to get a feel for the watch. When she heard those heavenly words, she was momentarily stunned.

As a salesperson for Vacheron Constantin, she had served plenty of wealthy clients.

Generally, watches priced over a million were rarely sold on the same day.

Most clients needed to view them several times.

They would compare prices and mull it over for a long time before finally deciding to purchase.

Many trust-fund kids were willing to spend millions on a supercar.
