Chapter 9: Chapter 9 What kind of family is this!
```
When Little Mao and Ranran walked in one after the other, Zhou Wang was sitting on the sofa admiring the watch on his wrist.
He hadn't worn a watch before, but the moment he put on this one, he fell in love with the feeling. At this moment, he actually felt that this watch wasn't expensive at all at 400,000, and it had nothing to do with the confidence the system gave him.
After all, although this watch didn't seem very eye-catching at first, it had an inexplicably understated charm to it...
At this moment, Ranran and Little Mao walked over, so Zhou Wang showed it to Ranran and asked, "What do you think?"
"It looks great, bro! It really suits you!"
Ranran seriously examined it for a moment and nodded in agreement.
She truly thought it looked nice, and Zhou Wang was wearing that Versace casual outfit he had just bought. Whether in color scheme or style, it inexplicably matched the watch.
"Then it's settled!"
Zhou Wang had been decided, and Ranran didn't know the price of the watch. Since she thought it was good, the watch should get a decent "impression score."
As Zhou Wang was showing it to Ranran, Little Mao also subconsciously took a glance.
Hmm, it did look quite nice, but it wasn't one of those IWC watches he was familiar with. Little Mao didn't mind, he stepped forward and smiled, "Hi, I'm Ranran's boss, there's something…"
"Please hold on a moment!"
Zhou Wang didn't have the interest to listen to a stranger babble, considering that the time for the round was running out, and he didn't want to delay any further to avoid unexpected incidents.
Being directly interrupted by Zhou Wang, Little Mao frowned but held back.
"I'll take this watch, where do I pay?"
Zhou Wang looked at Manager Cao who had been quietly waiting.
Out of professional courtesy, Manager Cao didn't show any change in expression, but inside he was a bit surprised by Zhou Wang's decisiveness.
From the time Zhou Wang stepped into the store until now, it hadn't been more than ten minutes...
The previous customer who looked at this watch clearly liked it too, but since it cost 400,000, they hadn't made a decision right away. Manager Cao hadn't expected to sell this watch so smoothly.
"Mr. Zhou, although you've decided, I think it's still necessary to clarify something."
"Go ahead."
Seeing that Manager Cao seemed serious, Zhou Wang patiently listened.
"At IWC, we have different promotions for many of our popular models. Simply put, you can avail of varying discounts on most of our models. And at the 400,000 price range, you have several options, like the Pilot series IW503604, the Portuguese series IW503406, and so on."
Manager Cao sincerely said, "Among these, you might find a style you love, but if you decide to buy this one, since it's limited, you won't receive any discount and will have to purchase it at the full price of 436,000. So…"
"Pfft… cough!"
As Manager Cao was reminding Zhou Wang, Little Mao, who had helped himself to a cup of tea from the table, choked on it.
He looked over in surprise, not sure if he was looking at Zhou Wang or the watch on his hand.
What the hell?! Were they just saying it was 400-something…?!
He wondered if he heard them wrong.
This watch… costs 400,000 plus your mom?!
Little Mao wasn't someone who couldn't hold his composure, but at this moment, his face twisted uncontrollably.
Manager Cao's words got cut off by Little Mao's coughing, causing Zhou Wang to frown and glance at him, and Little Mao instinctively made an apologetic gesture.
Compared to Little Mao, Ranran found it exaggerated for a watch to cost over 400,000, but she had witnessed Zhou Wang's spending spree in luxury stores before, so she wasn't too surprised, finding it rather expected.
Though Manager Cao hadn't finished, Zhou Wang understood his meaning.
That was if Zhou Wang bought other watches of the same price range, he might get a discount, but for this watch, he'd have to pay the original price, a bit of a "loss."
Manager Cao was genuinely considerate of customers; what's there to complain about with such a shopping experience?
Feeling thoughtful, Zhou Wang shook his head and said with a smile, "Thanks, but I won't consider others. Swipe the card."
"Alright, please wait a moment."
Manager Cao didn't say more and quickly fetched the pos machine from the front desk. Until the receipt showing "436,000 RMB" was printed, Little Mao couldn't completely process that this young man in front of him spent over 400,000 on an IWC!
Dude, that's an IWC!
Little Mao didn't even know how to convey all the "wow" in his heart.
It wasn't that a 400,000 watch alone made him lose composure; he'd seen watches worth millions. The issue was this was an IWC…
Nothing more, just that there were too many choices at that price.
Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, Lange… Even Patek Philippe had decent series available!
As an example, even Longines, which was dubbed entry-level, had watches worth 60-70,000 with this budget, who would still choose Longines?
Even without discussing prestige, just from a value perspective, Rolex far outclassed IWC. IWC was known for having high availability and plummeting prices.
Don't even start on limited editions, with how many people can tell it's limited while wearing it?
But after Little Mao calmed down and pondered, his view of Zhou Wang changed.
Because Zhou Wang genuinely appeared to like the watch, he hadn't considered anything else at all.
If someone didn't weigh the financial aspect when buying an expensive item, it could only indicate that they weren't short of that money.
Little Mao once heard a boss say that from an asset allocation standpoint, watches and cars weren't their major expenses. They merely adorned their front display; buying a watch between one and two hundred thousand on a ten-million asset was a reasonable setup.
What about forty to fifty thousand?
More importantly, judging by Zhou Wang's age, it was likely he was spending his family's money, and since he came on his own, it indicated it was merely his "pocket money"...
The deeper Little Mao thought, the more terrifying it seemed.
What kind of family did this child come from?
As he built various scenarios in his head, Zhou Wang had walked to the full-length mirror in the store, examining himself while waiting for the system's "judgment."
In his heart, he didn't hold such high expectations. As long as the "Azure Dragon Saber" gave a return above 1x, so this wasn't a loss, that would suffice.
Ding!
The system prompt finally arrived as expected.
