These days, anything that requires foreign currency to buy is never cheap.

Li Chengcai understood what he meant and quickly said, "You misunderstood. I meant that it's very expensive even if you buy it abroad?"

"It's very expensive. Let's put it this way. If it were in Hong Kong, no watch of this brand would cost less than 50,000 Hong Kong dollars. I'm referring to the Hong Kong dollar before the devaluation. If it were converted to Hong Kong dollars now, I estimate the cheapest would be 70,000 Hong Kong dollars."

The current value of the Hong Kong dollar has dropped a bit compared to the value of the Hong Kong dollar when Li Xu bought the watch.

Li Chengcai's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he quickly described the watch Li Haitao was wearing. He then asked, "Do you know how much this watch I described costs in Hong Kong?"

"I've never seen the watch you're talking about. It must have been manufactured just last year," the technician shook his head. "You can describe the watch's appearance so clearly, so you must have seen it up close. If you were so curious, why didn't you ask the owner?"

Li Chengcai said with a bitter face, "The owner of the watch didn't say anything, he just said that the watch was very valuable."

"He's right, it's really valuable." The technician then asked, "Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll get back to work."

"One more thing. If someone buys more than ten watches of this brand at once and treats them as if they were indifferent, how wealthy do you think they are?"

After spending several days with Li Jiakang's family, Li Chengcai not only saw the watches they wore, but also saw their attitude towards those watches.

These situations made him feel that this brand of watches did not seem to be worth much.

The technician laughed and said, "If you know someone like that, could you please introduce him to me? Or could you please pass on a message and ask if he'd be willing to lend us a watch for research?"

"I do know him, but he's not from here. Even if I wanted to introduce him to you, I wouldn't be able to. Now it's your turn to answer my questions."

The technician looked very disappointed and spoke weakly, "Is the person you are talking about from Hong Kong?"

Li Chengcai thought about it, then said "hmm" softly.

"In Hong Kong, anyone who dares to buy a Patek Philippe must have a net worth of at least several million. In a situation like the one you described, I think the net worth must be at least 50 million."

After getting the answer, Li Chengcai went home dizzy and stumbling.
