Chapter 1626
The salesperson frowned and said, "Sir, the price of this bag is $580,000."
Charlie hummed and said, "No problem, I want it."
The salesperson then replied, "Excuse me sir, if you want to purchase this bag, you''ll have to
purchase items of a simr amount also known as apanying purchase" 2
Charlie was surprised by the statement and asked." What do you mean to purchase items of a
simr amount? Can’t I just buy this bag directly?"
The salesperson smiled contemptuously as she replied. "Sir, is this your first time purchasing a
Hermes bag? Have you bought anything from Hermes previously?"
Charlie shook his head. "No, may I know what the problem is?"
The salesperson hummed, "A lot of Hermes bags aren''t something you can purchase that easily.
Just because you want to purchase it doesn’t mean that you can get it directly. You can pick,
choose, and buy anything you like but those only apply for the general merchandise and basic
model bags which are below $300,000. Anything above that price range are considered limited
edition items!” "Don''t look down on this bag which is ced on
disy in this store. The price tag may be showing $ 580,000 but the moment you take it out of the
panel, you can immediately resell it for a whopping $700,000 to $800,000. Therefore, if you want to
purchase this bag, you’ll have to be on the VIP waiting list or be a senior member. You have to
make an appointment with our store manager in advance or you will have to purchase Hermes
items of the same price as the bag. The Hermes item cannot be another limited rare item. So, if you
are able to do so, then you can buy this bag for five hundred thousand dors." i
Charlie frowned, "ording to what you''ve just mentioned, if I want to buy this bag then I''d have to
buy $500,000 worth of items first?"
"Yes." The salesperson smiled. "Hermes outlets all over the world follow this rule. Have you not
heard of i t? Or did you know of this and was just trying to try your luck in an attempt to cheat our
store?" 5
For a top-notch luxury goods brand like Hermes, its limited-edition handbags have an amazingly
high preservation rate. Even with so many types of designs, these Hermes bags could fetch an
even higher price in the second-hand market than the retailed shops. The reason behind this was
due to the high demand of Hermes bags.
For most other brands, as long as one had the money, one would be able to purchase their bags,
but that did not apply to Hermes.
Due to the price outside being exceptionally higher than the store price, if one wanted to buy it from
the store at the store price then one will have to buy hundreds of thousands or even millions of
dors worth of items to get the exclusive bag. 9
After including all the extra cost, if one wanted to get the limited exclusive bag then one would have
to pay more than a million dors.
However, Hermes was also very smart when it came t o handling their sales. When it came to
purchasing an equal price of products, they would forbid the buyer from buying another hot-selling
item. One could only purchase the less famous items which were less saleable. 7
These unsaleable items, on the other hand, were very nonsensical. For example, an 18K gold ring
would cost about one thousand dors but due to the Hermes brand mark, they would be sold for
fifty thousand, maybe eighty thousand, or even over a hundred thousand dors! 4
No sane person would want to buy a ring like that even if it is bought to be sold again. Unless the
items were bought at a very highly discounted price, of course, then it would be a different story.
Charlie didn''t get angry at the salesperson after she exined the rules of Hermes. Since Hermes
had set those rules, Charlie decided to just follow them.
Charlie said, "In that case, as long as I buy other items i n this shop that add up to five hundred
thousand dors, then I can purchase that bag, right?"
When the salesperson heard this, her eyes lit up. She didn''t expect Charlie to be a rich man. Five
hundred thousand dors and he didn’t even bargain. Did he prepare the money prior to this? s
After hearing it, she immediately changed her tone and quickly walked up to him. She then spoke
respectfully, "Sir, I will show you what you can purchase. Please take a look at these and select
whichever you want." s
Charlie nodded and said, "I just saw an ordinary design handbag worth $160,000. Can that be used
as the apanying product?"
"Yes." The salesperson replied without hesitation. " The price of that bag is $158,888. So you will
only need to buy another $340,000 worth of apanying products.”
Charlie was about to look at the other items when he heard a woman''s voiceing from the door.
N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
"Hiroshi, I want to take a look at Hermes!”
Then a man''s voice came ringing into the shop, "No, we''re supposed to head over to the boarding
gate now!"
The woman then pleased coquettishly, "We have another half an hour until we board...So, can we
please do some shopping?"
The man replied helplessly, "Well, we can only shop for twenty minutes!"
"Hiroshi, you''re the best!"
Charlie recognized the man at first nce. He was the same Hiroshi who had been around Nanako
during that time in the past. *
Why was he here?
