It can’t preserve its value like Patek Philippe, where every watch holds its worth well.
But it cannot be denied, regardless of the marketing involved, Richard Mille is still one of the world’s top luxury watch brands, with extravagant premiums on the secondary market for popular models.
This brand doesn’t lack enthusiastic collectors, and its sleek sports watch designs are quite popular among the younger crowd.
Many singers and stars like Lin Junjie, Pan Weibou, and top second-generation wealthy like Sicong, are all fans of it.
However, Zhou Wang didn’t feel much about it, so with a bit of indifference and not high expectation, Zhou Wang opened the watch box.
Yet, upon seeing the watch inside, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but sit up straight and exclaimed "Whoa!"
"Boss, what’s wrong?"
Seeing Zhou Wang react so strongly, Xu Wenqian quickly asked with concern, "Is there something wrong with this watch? I’m not very knowledgeable, but the sales advisor in the store guided me step by step through the watch inspection process, I thought..."
"There’s no issue with the watch."
Zhou Wang waved his hand to interrupt Xu Wenqian, took a deep breath, and said, "I just didn’t expect it to be this model..."
"Hmm?"
Xu Wenqian didn’t quite understand for a moment, after all, in her view, wasn’t this watch chosen by you, boss?
Zhou Wang didn’t explain and just carefully picked up the watch from the box, inspecting it closely.
Bright yellow strap, pure white dial, a flamingo hidden among flowers, a rainbow behind the cactus, and that iconic smiley face made of gold...
Indeed, this is one of the few Richard Mille watch models Zhou Wang knows.
Richard Mille RM88 mechanical watch, nicknamed "Smiley."
(Picture)
A hot watch model released in 2022, globally limited to 50 pieces, with a public price of RMB 10,690,000.
Yes, this is an ultra-luxury watch priced over 10 million!
Zhou Wang was also startled, never expected that the random model drawn from the Richard Mille blind box would be so impressive.
Moreover, note that 10 million is just the public price, in reality, this watch’s market price on the secondary market might have already exceeded 15 million, reaching the astronomical price of around 18 million.
In other words, the appearance of the "Smiley" instantly replaced the Patek Philippe Sky Moon on Zhou Wang’s wrist, becoming the most expensive among his five watches currently.
The crucial point is that the "Smiley" also perfectly fits Zhou Wang’s aesthetic... at least, in Zhou Wang’s view, it beats the other Richard Mille models.
Nice, nice.
Zhou Wang, instantly in a great mood, asked Xu Wenqian to pour some champagne and clinked glasses with her.
Xu Wenqian didn’t know the price of this watch was so expensive, after all, she was just the tool person responsible for collecting it. Seeing Zhou Wang in such a good mood, Xu Wenqian couldn’t help but smile too.
After sipping for a while, Xu Wenqian lowered her head, somewhat embarrassed, and asked, "Boss, will I be staying here tonight..."
Hmm?
Zhou Wang glanced at her from the corner of his eye, suddenly reached out to wrap her in his arms, firmly grasping her plush vulnerability, and when Xu Wenqian’s body softened, he jokingly said, "What do you think?"
Because Xiao Wang and others were guarding the periphery, Gao Xing had gone back to his bedroom early, not knowing what he was tinkering with, so Zhou Wang didn’t have any concerns at the moment.
Just as he was about to carry Xu Wenqian back to the room with enthusiasm, Zhou Wang suddenly hesitated for a reason unknown.
"Boss, what’s wrong?"
Xu Wenqian asked cluelessly.
"Hold on a moment, you go do something, find the hotel concierge and ask him for help..."
Zhou Wang whispered in Xu Wenqian’s ear.
"Ah?"
Hearing Zhou Wang’s request clearly made Xu Wenqian surprised, hesitatingly she said, "Can... can this work... can the hotel concierge do this?"
"This is Magic City’s Bulgari, think about the kind of clientele they serve every day, trust me, just tell him, he can handle it."
Zhou Wang confidently replied.
Seeing Zhou Wang speak so assuredly, the blushing Xu Wenqian could only turn around and leave.
...
After a while, Zhou Wang finished showering in the master bedroom, and Xu Wenqian came back.
"How did it go?"
Still towel-drying his hair, Zhou Wang looked at Xu Wenqian, seeing some lingering surprise and shyness in her expression, and could already guess a bit, he asked with a smile.
"Well, everything went as you said, Boss... I, I told the concierge, and he instantly agreed, th-then, he found a Pad from somewhere, with a photo album of girls."
Xu Wenqian said in a low voice, "I didn’t know what he would like, so I picked a girl according to my own taste, she came quickly, and she looks quite like her photo, great figure, wearing stockings... and then she went to knock on Gao Xing’s room door..."
"Did she go in?"
Zhou Wang didn’t care about the previous process, he only wanted to know the final result.
"She went in..."
Xu Wenqian nodded, "I followed your request to wait a few minutes, seeing the girl not come out the entire time, then I returned."
"Then it’s done."
Zhou Wang let out a long breath, his expression somewhat enigmatic.
While Zhou Wang was lost in thought, Xu Wenqian was hesitating to speak.
"What’s wrong?"
"Boss, it’s nothing really, just, just that I didn’t expect..."
"Didn’t expect Gao Xing would accept that ’Gift’?"
"Hmm... I didn’t expect the girl who looked so proper would... would do this... I always felt Gao Xing wasn’t that kind of person... Ultimately, it was all a bit unexpected to me."
Xu Wenqian said, slightly embarrassed.
"Everyone’s human, we all have emotions and desires, what’s there not to understand?"
Zhou Wang chuckled, and then his gaze turned profound, "Besides, you don’t get it, whether he likes it or not, Gao Xing would never refuse... now it seems, he truly isn’t a naive headstrong person, I’m more reassured now."
Listening to Zhou Wang’s final mumblings, Xu Wenqian felt momentarily bewildered, but the next second, she couldn’t think anymore, because Zhou Wang had already picked her up and amidst her surprised exclamations, thrown her onto the soft big bed...
