Chapter: 1765

Terminal 3 of Beijing Airport is very large, with many luxury shops inside, basically all internationally well-known brands have stores here.

As soon as Ye Chen thought about himself having only prepared some Tang Four Seas' tea leaves for his father-in-law, and still hadn't prepared gifts for his wife and mother-in-law Ma Ran.

When leaving, his mother-in-law still asked him to bring some gifts, looking at her recent good behavior and showing respect towards himself. It's only natural that he wants to give her a little sweet treat.

As for his wife Xiu Chunran, it goes without saying that he needs to prepare a thoughtful gift for her.

So, he decided to take this opportunity to stroll around the commercial street in the airport.

In Ye Chen's daily life, he has low requirements for material possessions, so he didn't think about what gifts to give his wife and mother-in-law at first.

He thought that no matter how old a woman is, she likes to be wrapped up, so Ye Chen walked into the Hermès store without hesitation.

Hermès' prices are extremely high, with budget-friendly options around ¥100,000. However, this is just the starting point, as their high-end products can cost hundreds of thousands.

Ye Chen was dressed casually, and the sales associate in the store looked down on him slightly because of his ordinary attire. However, she didn't say anything mean-spirited, just giving him a somewhat condescending attitude.

Ye Chen didn't pay too much attention to it and browsed around the store before spotting a limited-edition crocodile skin handbag at the glass display case.

This handbag was Hermès' classic orange color, with a very perfect leather texture and exquisite craftsmanship. It's suitable for both leisure and business use.

Ye Chen called out to the sales associate, opening his mouth to say, "Hello, I'll take this bag. Can you help me put it in a box?"

The sales associate furrowed her brow and said, "Sir, this bag costs 580 thousand yuan."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "No problem, I'll take it."

The sales associate added, "I'm sorry, sir. Buying this kind of bag requires a package deal."

Ye Chen asked in surprise, "What do you mean by 'package deal'? Can't I just pay for it outright?"

The sales associate sneered and said, "Sir, are you new to Hermès? You haven't bought anything from us before, right?"

Ye Chen nodded, "No, what's the issue?"

The sales associate hummed and said, "Many bags at Hermès aren't something you can just buy whenever you want. Below 300 thousand yuan, there are plenty of big brands and basic models you can pick from freely. However, above 300 thousand yuan, most of them are limited edition!"

"Don't look at the price tag on this bag, which says only 580,000 yuan in-store. Once you take it out, you can sell it for a price ranging from 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. So, if you want to buy this kind of bag, either you have to be a high-level member of Hermès and make an advanced reservation with our store manager, or you have to purchase other goods worth a certain amount, and those goods cannot be hot-selling items; the minimum amount for buying this bag is 50 million yuan."

Ye Chen furrowed his brow: "According to what you're saying, I need to buy 50 million yuan worth of other goods just to get this bag?"

"That's right." The sales associate smiled. "All Hermès stores around the world have this rule; you won't be unaware of it, will you? Or are you trying to test your luck and try to take this bag from our store without paying the price and sell it outside for a profit?"

For top-tier luxury brands like Hermès, their limited-edition handbags have an incredibly high resale value.

In fact, many styles even sell for more on the secondary market than they do new, due to Hermès' hunger marketing strategy.

Other brands will give you what you pay for, but not Hermès. JrNovels.com
