Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Spending Money Day 8
After leaving Hermès, Liu Yue asked Sang Yu, "Will the bags we reserved be bought by other customers? The salesperson didn't even tell us about the reservations."
Just now, she walked out against the girl's gaze, and felt that the other person's eyes could burn a hole in the bag she was carrying.
...Although Liu Yue did nothing wrong, I feel very sorry for her.
Sang Yu: "Yes, Hermès has very little stock, and there's competition among salespeople. If it were BKC, they might be able to hold on to it, but dessert bags would be difficult. After all, we can't let walk-in customers see bare shelves."
What is a dessert bun? Liu Yue didn't understand.
Sang Yu first explained to her what a quota is. It means that you need to spend a certain amount of money to buy enough bags before the salesperson will give you the bag you want.
While waiting for the bag, the salesperson will provide other bags to the customer, which means "giving a sweet date" so that you don't give up. Such bags are collectively called "dessert bags".
Liu Yue: "But didn't that girl just now say she waited for three months?"
"The dessert bags are relative to the quota bags that are harder to buy." Sang Yu continued to explain, "But it doesn't affect the popular ones. You still have to wait. It just means that you can get the bags immediately. You pay and get the bags at the same time. You don't have to buy the bags first and then wait for notification. That would be very passive."
Liu Yue was confused by what she heard and couldn't help but deeply admire Hermès' marketing methods.
Such a high price and such complicated rules can still make consumers happy to buy it and rush to buy it. It is really amazing.
"This bag is pretty." She said to Sang Yu, "I thought it was just an ordinary paper bag, but I didn't expect it to have lychee patterns on it. It looks very textured."
It must be said that Hermès has done a very good job in terms of brand image.
The two of them walked towards Chanel carrying bags. Liu Yue asked Sang Yu, "Does Chanel also need to stock up?"
Sang Yu: “Some popular bags require it, but most don’t.”
Liu Yue said that what she actually wanted to buy was clothes, and Chanel is probably most famous for its women's clothing.
Sang Yu's pupils shrank slightly, and she thought for a moment: "At this point... the early spring vacation should have finished, I wonder if there are any new spring and summer previews."
Liu Yue is undoubtedly a customer who is difficult to judge, because she is carrying an Hermès bag and the clothes she wears are obviously Taobao hot-sellers.
Regardless, when she entered the store, SA came to greet her. When she learned that she wanted to look at some women's clothing, SA's smile became more genuine.
The first thing Liu Yue liked was a Chanel-style suit. She tried on a gray tweed jacket and a skirt in the same color. The total price of these two pieces was more than 100,000 yuan.
She imagined herself wearing it as a regal young lady, but the reality was...how could she be so bulky in the mirror? She also looked really unfashionable.
Liu Yue was devastated. She came to Chanel to buy the Chanel style items but they turned out not to be good-looking. How could this happen!
"It's the clothes," Sang Yu said promptly. "Tweed tends to create a sense of bulkiness. Paired with a short skirt, the center of gravity will be more focused upwards. Unless you have a very slim, flat figure, it will make you look bulkier."
The omnipotent Sang Yu gave a solution: "Change your skirt and try these jeans."
Liu Yue chose to believe Sang Yu's advice. It's true, the effect after this change looks much better.
The jeans diluted the formality of the Chanel-style jacket, and the high-waisted version was very friendly to her figure, so she no longer looked top-heavy.
Although her upper body has not changed, the shift in visual focus gives her a "magnified" look that makes her look more imposing and mature.
It turns out that this is how to use a textured coat. I’ve learned it!
Liu Yue tried on a white windbreaker. The style of this coat was a little longer, but amazingly, it did not suppress her height at all. It also made Liu Yue imagine what the hem of the coat would look like when a gust of wind blew.
Very good, this one is good, I bought it too.
Following Sang Yu's recommendation, Liu Yue tried on a pink shiny tweed dress.
She was initially worried that the color was too bright and she couldn't pull it off, since the last time she wore pink was when she was in elementary school. But Sang Yu said that she had fair skin and delicate features, so she could definitely pull off this style.
Sang Yu's encouragement gave Liu Yue great confidence. When she walked out of the fitting room and looked at herself in the mirror, her expression was a little dazed.
She was beautiful, vivid, and dazzling. The pink was striking, but she seemed born to shine that way.
——Of course, this is a skirt worth 80,000 yuan. If it’s not eye-catching, who else will be?
Liu Yue really liked it. She took a photo in front of the mirror. At that moment, she even had the urge to save money to buy this dress if she didn't have a spending system.
She was startled and quickly put this crazy idea behind her. It can only be said that the atmosphere created by luxury stores for customers is really easy to get addicted.
Although it was ready-to-wear, Chanel's service was very good. After Liu Yue tried it on and clearly expressed her intention to buy it, the salesperson said they could take her measurements and make alterations, and she could pick it up in about a week.
This made Liu Yue very happy, and when she was happy, her desire to shop was burning.
Originally, Sang Yu estimated how much Liu Yue had bought and thought that her expenses for the day should be about enough, but she didn't expect Liu Yue to continue picking.
That pink dress opened the door to a new world for Liu Yue. She then tried a pink coat, a purple skirt, a floral dress... Later, she returned to her original black, white and gray commuting preferences, boldly trying types of clothes she had never worn before.
Liu Yue tried on many sets of clothes and bought everything she thought looked good. Sang Yu helped her press the calculator. When Liu Yue felt too tired from changing clothes and wanted to take a break, she quietly showed her the results of the calculator.
The total price of the eighteen items is 785,700 yuan, and Chanel never participates in any discount activities.
Sang Yu was really worried that Liu Yue had no idea about the prices of Chanel's ready-to-wear clothes and would forget about her budget while shopping. But looking at Liu Yue's expression, she should be fine, right?
Liu Yue thought that the system had already calculated it for her.
Adding the price here and the consumption before today, it is only 865,748.6 yuan, which is more than 130,000 yuan away from her goal of one million. She has to keep buying.
But Liu Yue didn't want to continue trying on clothes. It was really tiring to change them all the time.
She originally wanted to pay the bill first, take Sang Yu to have lunch and take a break, and then continue spending money after eating. However, when she passed by the luggage area, she couldn't help but be attracted by a blue bag.
Although she just bought two bags at Hermès, one of which was blue...but the two blues were different!
It is brighter than Holy Grail Blue and gentler than Northern Blue. The luster of this washed tannin makes Liu Yue unable to take her eyes away. Chanel's colorist is really good and it completely touched her heart.
Liu Yue took a look and found that the large hippie bag was only over 40,000 yuan. Buy it! If you like it, buy it!
Her SA came over with a smile and helped her take the bag without saying a word.
Liu Yue didn't think there was anything wrong with the process, but a customer next to her complained, "Why doesn't she need to have the goods delivered?"
Ah, so this bag needs to be matched with other goods?
Liu Yue didn't know what was going on. Sang Yu said, "We bought a lot of tweed clothes."
This answer made the customer who asked the question twitch her lips slightly. She turned and left without saying anything else.
It seemed that this convinced her, and Liu Yue asked curiously, why?
Sang Yu: "The ready-to-wear line has always been very important to Chanel, and tweed is the pinnacle of the brand. The bag she wants to buy is only considered entry-level at Chanel."
So it is perfectly normal for Liu Yue to buy a hippie bag without having to match the goods. Even if she wants to buy a Kelly now, SA will arrange it for her immediately.
Liu Yue's purchase price at Chanel was 829,000 yuan, and the remaining task amount was 90,951.4 yuan.
In fact, when paying, Liu Yue had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Over 800,000 yuan, which many people might not earn in a year's work, she spent in just one hour of shopping. And she didn't spend recklessly or extravagantly, but carefully selected her purchases.
It turns out that money can really be just a string of numbers.
Sang Yu asked her, "I feel like you're suddenly not very happy? Did something unpleasant happen in the store just now?"
"Don't worry, with your spending level, every time you come to Chanel, the store will treat you as an important customer. If you feel there is anything wrong, you can tell them directly and they will correct it."
Liu Yue shook her head. She didn't think there was anything wrong with it, she was just reshaping her view on money.
Sang Yu: "If you come here two more times, I guess SA will help you apply for VIC."
Liu Yue asked curiously, "What's the use of Chanel's VIC?"
That would be very useful. Sang Yu told Liu Yue that after becoming a VIC, next time she comes to Chanel, she doesn't have to queue up or even enter the store. She can go directly to the Chanel salon in the mall.
Whatever she wants to buy, someone will display it there for her to check out and choose.
As a VIC, she might be invited to watch a fashion show and buy new items in advance. If she watches a haute couture show, she would be eligible to purchase and make haute couture.
You know, even among haute couture brands, Chanel is still at the top of the pyramid.
Of course, this VIC also has requirements. Different stores may have different requirements, but the annual consumption must be at least 3 million.
Sang Yu said that SA would most likely help her apply, probably because he was impressed by her ability to sustain consumption.
Liu Yue was a little surprised. She pointed at herself and asked, "Do I look like someone who would spend a lot of money on Chanel?"
Sang Yu:......
You try on one piece after another and choose ready-made clothes as if they were cabbages. Do you have any misunderstanding about your own consumption ability?
