"Rebirth of Hong Kong: Tycoon Growth Novel( Find the latest chapter!

Switzerland is arguably one of the most stable economies in the world. The long-term nature of its policies, safe financial system and banking secrecy make Switzerland a safe haven for tax haven investors. Switzerland is one of the richest countries in the world, with one of the highest per capita incomes in the world, as well as low unemployment and fiscal deficits. The service sector also plays an increasingly important role in the Swiss economy due to its well-developed financial industry.

Not only banks are also developed here, but high-end manufacturing is also the most important industry in Switzerland. The manufacturing industry mainly produces professional chemicals, pharmaceuticals and medical products, scientific precision measuring instruments, and musical instruments. Major export products include chemicals, mechanical and electronic equipment, precision instruments and watches. The service industry is another important industry in Switzerland, including banking, tourism, insurance and international organizations.

Although Bao Zixuan from other Swiss industries was interested, he could not get involved. Although he also has business dealings with Swiss banks, the amount is not particularly large, and no one will buy some medicine for preparation; what can attract him can only be Swiss watches.

People often say that the poor play with cars, but the rich play with watches; now it is said that the super rich can rank in the forefront of the world, and it is normal to collect a few watches.

It can be said that the Swiss watch industry is the top presence in the world, and other industries can also compete with foreign brands. But when it comes to the world's top ten brands in the watch industry, Switzerland has hardly made other national brands on the list. Even some are produced in Switzerland, and there are not so many top watchmakers in other countries.

Although everyone has their own rankings, the top ten watches recognized worldwide are Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, Blancpain, Piaget, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Girard-Perregaux, Breguet, Cartier, and Rolex. These are the goals of Bao Zixuan, after all, the collection factor should also be taken into consideration.

The next morning, except for the engineering and technical personnel who stayed behind, all the others followed Bao Zixuan to the center of Geneva. Watching more than 100 people drive 3 buses and kill them in a mighty manner, the scene is also very spectacular.

When he got out of the car, Bao Zixuan said, "There is a limit of $20,000 per person, and you can buy anything you like. But you have to spend the money, or I won't give you cash."

Hearing this made the gang of engineering men extremely happy; they were finally able to buy things that they liked before but were reluctant to buy. Most of the people who have this idea are CERN researchers, and the engineers of the Black Cloud Group are relatively much better. After all, their salaries, benefits, and treatment are among the best in the world.

Black Cloud employees saw the good stuff and bought it quickly, spending $20,000 before talking about it. If you still like it, you will spend money to buy it.

Bao Zixuan went to several watch stores and bought a few pieces as a souvenir, and the price was not very expensive. He hasn't visited the most expensive store yet.

Coming to the door of a luxury store, Bao Zixuan saw the door. Suddenly I remembered a sentence, "No one can really own Patek Philippe, you just keep it for the next generation."

Patek Philippe was founded in 1839. As the last independent watchmaker in Geneva, Patek Philippe enjoys comprehensive freedom of innovation in the overall process of design, production and assembly, creating global masterpieces that are praised by experts around the world, and abide by the brand's founding. Thanks to the outstanding vision of Mr. Patek and Mr. Philippe, relying on extraordinary professional skills and adhering to the tradition of high-quality innovation, Patek Philippe has more than 80 technical patents so far. Patek Philippe is "the blue-blooded aristocrat of watches"

For more than 100 years, Patek Philippe has always believed in the philosophy of quality, and adhered to the production principle of focusing on quality and not weight, and craftsmanship. There is only one theme, that is, the pursuit of perfection. It pursues limited production, with an annual output of only 50,000. For more than a century and a half, Patek Philippe has produced a very limited number of watches, which is no match for the annual output of a fashion watch, and it is only sold in the world's top famous stores.

Thinking that there will be a lot of entertainment in the future, since I came to Switzerland this time, I will be capricious. Moreover, there is a lot of room for future appreciation of this kind of watch, but there is no other high return on investment. You can also buy more and send them back, after all, they are all limited edition products.

After Bao Zixuan entered the store, a beautiful clerk came up to greet him: "Hello, sir! How can I help you!"

Bao Zixuan: "I want to buy a few watches. Do you have any recommendations?"

The beautiful clerk said: "What price do you need, I'm recommending it to you."

Bao Zixuan: "There are no special requirements for the price. After all, you are all clear prices."

I heard Bao Zixuan say that there is no price requirement, and there are bodyguards behind him. At first glance, he is a child of a big Asian family. It seems that today is his lucky day.

The clerk took out a few Patek Philippe watches, Bao Zixuan looked at them and said, "I have all these pieces, are there any better ones?"

Beautiful clerk: "Sir, have you ever purchased a watch from our Patek Philippe! If not, we will evaluate your identity to see what grade of watch you can buy."

Bao Zixuan did not expect Patek Philippe to be so good in the 1980s. It seems that brand cultivation requires a gradual process, and the black cloud still has a long way to go.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "I just heard about it before, but I didn't expect to see it today. It's okay, I respect your rules."

The beautiful clerk said: "Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. What's your name, where do you work, and what is your position? Have you won any important awards internationally, and what contributions have you made to the society?"

Bao Zixuan said with a smile, "My name is Bao Zixuan, Chairman and CEO of Black Cloud Group, and won the Turing Award in 1979. Do you have any more questions!"

The beautiful clerk did not expect that the man in front of him was Bao Zixuan of the Black Cloud Group, no wonder it felt so familiar. It's because his job is not in place. This is a super rich man. Fortunately, he doesn't care about him.

The beautiful clerk said apologetically: "I'm very sorry, I didn't recognize you. Please follow me to the second floor to make a good selection. Our professional team will serve you."

The news that Bao Zixuan came to the store quickly reached the founding family of Patek Philippe; a middle-aged couple immediately called the driver to drive to the store.

When he saw Bao Zixuan, the man said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Bao; I'm D'Antoni-Baida. I didn't expect this world to be so small, and I met Mr. Bao in our store. It seems that we really are Destiny."

Bao Zixuan was also stunned when he saw this man. Isn't this the first time he met the foreign couple who had morning tea with several boat kings at Li Ji Tea Restaurant! At that time, I also translated for them, and it seemed that I was going to tip myself 20 Swiss francs.

Bao Zixuan: "Hello, Mr. Baida. It seems that you are the one who said it, and we are really destined."

D'Antoni-Patek: "Thank you very much for Bao Shengsheng to come to Patek Philippe. This is a recognition of our brand. There are no restrictions on Patek Philippe watches, you can buy them at will."

Bao Zixuan: "Then thank you Mr. Patek. I agree with the culture at Patek Philippe's hands. So if you want to collect more, don't keep it private."

D'Antoni-Patrick: "It is our honor to have you recognized, and I will do my best to meet your request."

Bao Zixuan said to the beautiful clerk who had just received him: "Give me one of each style of the watch in your store, male or female."

Hearing that this is the well-informed D'Antoni-Patrick was also very surprised. This store serves as the global headquarters. With all the styles of Patek Philippe's watches, now they actually want to take out a piece of each style, and they still have both men's and women's models. This is what to do.

D'Antoni-Baida: "It would be a waste for Mr. Bao to buy so much at once. After all, a watch is more valuable if it is on hand to serve people."

Bao Zixuan: "I have many business partners, and there are many executives in the company. I choose Patek Philippe as a gift to give them a taste of Patek Philippe culture."

Since people help you promote it, what else is there to say. So Patek Philippe's largest order in history was born Bao Zixuan purchased a total of 305 watches and pocket watches, costing 69 million US dollars.

In one day, the name of Heiyun Group Bao Zixuan spread all over Switzerland. Even European countries want him to come and play, this is a walking consumer machine. Not to mention the large investment in Poland; the cost of buying watches in Switzerland alone exceeds 100 million US dollars, of course, the consumption of Heiyun employees is also included here.

What a huge amount of sales, now everyone wants Bao Zixuan and Heiyun employees to visit their store. This group of people is so daring to buy things, basically regardless of the price, as long as they like it and it is expensive, they will buy it.

Although this kind of consumption concept can't get into the eyes of the upper class, but this is how people spend their own money how they want, and others don't say much.

The most direct impact of Bao Zixuan's operation with Heiyun employees is the unified price adjustment of major Swiss watch brands. It can be said that the watches they bought have appreciated before leaving Switzerland, and I don’t know how other people will feel.
