Chapter 178: Chapter 128: Patek Philippe Steps In, Pickle Jar Secured!

"Brother Jiang, have some tea."

After sitting down, Zhang Bo first poured some tea for Jiang Tao with a new tea set.

During this time, his gaze couldn’t help but glance at the shopping bag Jiang Tao had placed on the table.

Noticing Zhang Bo’s subtle curiosity, Jiang Tao got straight to the point and said:

"Zhang Bo, a friend of mine is having some financial problems and wants to sell this watch. See if you guys are interested."

As Jiang Tao spoke, he took out a wooden box with a piano lacquer finish from the shopping bag.

Seeing the prominent cross star emblem on the box, Zhang Bo knew there was a big deal coming today!

The cross star emblem is the brand logo of Patek Philippe.

This logo not only offers excellent decorative effect but also carries a long history.

The emblem also aligns with Patek Philippe’s unique brand value and long-term development philosophy.

"Let me take a look."

Zhang Bo said as he took out a pair of black silk gloves from his pocket, put them on, and gently opened the box.

"Patek Philippe 5990R Nautilus!"

Seeing the gleaming gold watch inside the box, Zhang Bo’s breath quickened.

Anyone who loves watches would recognize this instantly! 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Although Zhang Bo’s family isn’t lacking in wealth, all the family fortunes are still his dad’s.

He is just helping his dad run the shop for now, it’s far from time for him to take over.

He only has an Omega Seamaster 330 costing over 50,000 on his wrist.

The 5990R in the box looks brand new.

Zhang Bo carefully picked up the watch with his silk-gloved hand and examined it closely.

No signs of wear or scratches at all, in near-new condition!

This level of a 5990R is rare indeed!

After all, which watch enthusiast can resist showing off such a classic watch once they get their hands on it!

"Brother Jiang, your friend wants to sell this 5990?"

After carefully playing with the 5990R from the box, Zhang Bo looked at Jiang Tao to confirm again.

Jiang Tao nodded and said, "Yes, if the price is right, we’ll sell; if not, never mind."

Zhang Bo inquired, "Did your friend give you a price in mind?"

Jiang Tao readily said, "2.18 million."

Hearing Jiang Tao’s asking price, Zhang Bo wasn’t surprised.

This Nautilus 5990R, hailed as "a legend from the start," has seen its price soar since its launch.

The official price was 920,000, and by early 2022, it peaked at 3.3 million.

The price has dropped considerably over the past two years but remains around 2 million.

The one Jiang Tao brought today is in impeccable condition.

It seems the owner bought it to collect and never wore it.

Selling it for 2.18 million is quite a bargain.

Zhang Bo said, "Brother Jiang, please wait a moment, I’ll call our boss. This price exceeds my authorization."

Jiang Tao smiled and nodded, "Alright, go ahead."

Zhang Bo immediately picked up the phone on the tea table and called his dad, Zhang Long.

Ring... ring... ring...

The video call connected, and Zhang Bo got straight to showing.

"Dad, a friend brought over a Patek Philippe 5990R at a price of 2.18 million. Can we take it?"

"Wow! This bird is nice! The condition is excellent!"

"Move closer, show me the dial, then let me see the back."

"Are all the certificates there?"

"2.18 million... okay! Take it, I’ll keep this bird for myself."

"Your Uncle Liu has been looking for a collectible 5990 like this but couldn’t find one. I’ll wear it to annoy him!"

"..."

Hearing his dad’s last sentence, Zhang Bo felt a bit speechless.

But, of course, he knew his dad could afford it.

Jiang Tao clearly heard the conversation between the father and son.

Hearing how promptly Zhang Bo’s dad wanted to buy the watch made Jiang Tao somewhat excited.

Did I just sell something worth 2.18 million so easily?

Indeed, there are a lot of wealthy people in Beijing.

If Zhang Bo’s family weren’t sitting on assets in the tens of millions, his dad wouldn’t be so confident!

Is this what you call running a small business?

Ending the call, Zhang Bo smiled at Jiang Tao:

"Brother Jiang, as you heard, my dad likes this watch, let’s sign the contract."

"Sure, no problem."

Jiang Tao didn’t feel he had priced it too low just because the other party was so straightforward.

Brother Tongzi also evaluated it at 2.18 million.

Selling at that price, he’s already satisfied.

Greed is the enemy of contentment; being content brings happiness!

Then, Zhang Bo printed a valuable goods transaction contract drafted by a professional lawyer.

Both parties signed and fingerprinted as buyer and seller, and then Zhang Bo swiftly transferred 2.18 million to Jiang Tao via his phone.

[Your ICBC savings account ending in XXXX has received 2,180,000. Current balance: 2,848,976.66!]

Looking at the deposit text alert and account balance on his phone, Jiang Tao felt more and more at ease.

After spending 1 million to upgrade the system yesterday, his small treasury dipped below the one-million mark again.

Today, with over 2 million deposited, he’s back on track!

With nearly 3 million in cash deposits, why worry?

Even without any business for the rest of the year, it’s enough for the family to live comfortably!

"Pah! Pah! Pah! I jinxed it, better to have high-value intel every day!"

"At this level, at most, I’m comfortably off; I’m far from financial freedom."

"The house is still rented."

Jiang Tao thought for a moment and continued with renewed determination, his enthusiasm for making money burgeoning.
