Tang Wen was still looking forward to Zhou Hui and Sha Chu's arrival. However, Ma Piaoliang's arrangement last night once again "amazed" Tang Wen.
"Li Lele, Li Yixin, Li Fei'er, Wang Ou, Zhang Chuxuan." The "uniform" style of the office last night made Tang Wen particularly satisfied.
Not to mention that Ma Piaoliang still had several "scenes" that had not been used. The top floor of the MSC Mediterranean Splendor cruise ship had been transformed into a special "scenario" room by Ma Piaoliang.
The "patterns" inside were really no worse than some scenes in adult movies. Moreover, Ma Piaoliang was very careful to find a bunch of waitresses to act as "extras", and the visual effect was simply perfect.
For Ma Piaoliang's "hard work", Tang Wen also planned to reward her well. In addition, Tang Wen, who had not shopped for a long time recently, planned to "brush up" his presence.
"Are there any auctions recently? Or any luxury goods exhibitions?" Tang Wen said with narrowed eyes.
Zhou Xu quickly picked up his phone and started asking questions. After a while, he walked to Tang Wen and said, "Boss, there is a luxury goods exhibition and a charity auction in Tokyo recently."
"Charity auction? Tsk, I won't give money to people from Japan, so let's go to the luxury goods exhibition."
"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away."
The luxury goods exhibition in Tokyo can be said to be varied. From luxury houses and yachts to food and daily necessities, it can be said that everything is available.
Even more bizarre are some "dark" things, such as the golden rice field. It is said that someone specially trained a group of women to eat a fixed amount of food with gold foil every day.
After pulling out the rice field, it is decorated with gold foil and sold. Tang Wen felt sick when he heard about this kind of thing. Anyway, no matter what others think, he will not buy it anyway.
However, the slightly "perverted" Japanese people have a special liking for this kind of strange and weird things. Last time, this golden rice field was sold for 20,000 Chinese yuan.
It's simply speechless.
This luxury exhibition is a high-tech fashion exhibition with the theme of "Eternal Muse" held by Louis Vuitton at Tokyo Station Hotel. The exhibition selected icons such as Catherine Deneuve, Kate Moss, and Queen Eugenie of France in the 19th century as the theme muses.
To put it bluntly, it is to "scoop up" the balance in the wallets of Japanese and Tokyo women. Although this is a luxury exhibition initiated by LV, luxury brands from all over the world will participate in the exhibition, and it is said that the tickets are all 10,000 US dollars each.
Many artists have also been attracted, but the things inside are beyond their reach. It is said that the finale item of LV this time is a bag worth 2.8 million US dollars.
It is said that this exhibition has attracted more than 300 internationally renowned brands from more than 20 countries including France, Switzerland, Italy, England, America, Germany, Australia, Thailand, Poland, Southeast Asia, etc. The exhibits include top sports cars, private jets, yachts, jewelry, watches, luxury home furnishings, artworks, famous wines, top real estate, luxury travel, custom clothing, etc. The exhibition area is expected to reach 15,000 square meters.
Although this so-called exhibition is themed on "high-tech" fashion, it still cannot resist the enthusiasm of other industries to join. Even many real estate professionals have come. After all, their luxury homes are also "high-tech".
Let alone red wine, as long as there is a luxury exhibition, they will be there. Artworks are similar. This is a good opportunity to "fool" the rich. How could they miss it?
The $10,000 ticket makes many ordinary people who want to come and see it stop. What a joke, they are targeting the top rich, how can they let you in?
That night, the security department of Japan's capital dispatched more than 300 police officers to maintain order on the scene, and the organizer LV also hired more than 500 security personnel to ensure the safety of the exhibits.
"I didn't expect that there are so many rich people in Japan?" Looking at the rows of luxury cars at the entrance of the hotel, Tang Wen smiled.
Zhou Xu smiled and said, "Boss, you don't know this."
"Oh? What's the situation?" Tang Wen asked.
"Many of these cars are from foreign consortiums, and some are some wealthy people who flew from abroad to participate. There are very few consortiums in Japan."
"Is that so?" Tang Wen nodded.
For the local consortiums in Japan, such luxury exhibitions are a big burden for them. Except for those top consortiums, there are very few ordinary small consortiums that can afford the things in them.
You know, these foreign luxury merchants are not ordinary black. Even some of their local Wagyu beef is hyped up to sky-high prices, and ordinary consortiums are not willing to spend millions of US dollars to buy such a bunch of things.
Especially now that Japan is still in the "economic" depression.
Many people spend 10,000 US dollars to buy tickets, just to get in and make some connections.
After the Rolls-Royce stopped, Zhou Xu handed over the invitation and the waiter beside him quickly led Tang Wen and his party into the venue. For ordinary people, they need to buy tickets to enter, but for consortiums like WF Group, tickets are free.
Luxury goods merchants are not stupid, and such "big guys" are the ones they need to please.
"Tsk, it's really diverse." Tang Wen smiled at the crowd around him.
This luxury goods exhibition seems to be quite large in scale. Many "tycoons" wearing white headscarves have been attracted, and of course there are some "aristocrats" in suits and leather shoes.
Tang Wen, who is dressed in casual clothes, is an alternative. But no one dares to underestimate Tang Wen. After all, the bodyguards following him are not "easy to mess with".
"Tsk, fruit is also sold at the luxury goods exhibition?" After walking a few steps, he saw a booth selling fruit. He was stunned and walked towards the other party.
Seeing Tang Wen and his group coming, the blond and blue-eyed foreigner hurriedly introduced in English: "Dear guests, good evening. I am Tony from Italy."
"Tony? Teacher Tony from the east entrance of the village?" Tang Wen smiled secretly in his heart.
I only heard Teacher Tony carefully introduce: "This is the original Neon Country, cultivated by the top craftsmen in Italy (Roman Ruby), and each grape is carefully selected by a special person..."
I listened to Teacher Tony's chatter for a long time, just bragging about how precious this grape is, how awesome the quality is, and how sweet it is.
Tang Wen looked at this grape and found that it was much larger than ordinary grapes, and the color was also very bright. But the price was many times more expensive than ordinary grapes.
A bunch of grapes is 26, and each is sold for up to 500 US dollars. Equivalent to 3,000 yuan per grape in Chinese currency.
In fact, each bunch of grapes must meet very strict standards to be worthy of the name of Roman Ruby grapes. Each grape must weigh at least 20 grams and have a sugar content of at least 18%. There is also a higher-end version with stricter standards. The weight of the grapes must exceed 30 grams, and the whole bunch of grapes must weigh at least 700 grams.
Here, Teacher Tony sells the higher-end version of Roman Ruby grapes.
"Please try it." Seeing that Tang Wen was quite interested, Tony carefully put on gloves, cut off a grape and handed it over respectfully.
"Yeah, it tastes good. Old Zhou told him how much is in stock, I want all of them." Tang Wen took a bite and felt that it tasted very good, so he nodded and said to Zhou Xu.
"Okay, boss."
Seeing Tang Wen's satisfied expression, Tony knew that this was a successful deal.
"Our boss is very satisfied. How many do you have here?" Zhou Xu said to Tony.
"What?" Tony said in a daze.
"Our boss asked you how much is in stock, we want all of them." Zhou Xu said with a frown.
Tony realized that the person in front of him was a "big customer", and he apologized quickly: "Yes, dear sir, because this is a high-end version of Roman ruby, we only have about 100 bunches in stock here, and we have 500 bunches of ordinary Roman ruby in stock."
"OK, I'll take them all." Zhou Xu was too lazy to talk to him.
"Okay, okay, sir, we'll arrange it for you right away." Tony was completely dumbfounded now. He thought that he could sell a dozen bunches at this exhibition to make a name for himself, but he didn't expect that all the stocks were bought out.
"Dear sir, the high-end version is 13,000 US dollars per bunch, 100 bunches is 1.3 million US dollars, the ordinary version is 800 US dollars per bunch, 500 bunches is 4 million US dollars, a total of 5.3 million US dollars." Teacher Tony swallowed his saliva and looked at Zhou Xu nervously, he was afraid that the other party would regret it.
"Well, swipe the card and send the things to this address when the time comes." Zhou Xu didn't even raise his eyelids to lower a card, and then threw the address of the hot spring resort where Tang Wen stayed.
"Okay, okay, dear sir, thank you for your affirmation of our Italian XXX Craft Park, this is our contact information. We can provide you with any fruit you need in the future." Teacher Tony was ecstatic. How could he be unhappy to meet such a big customer? He quickly started to promote his "manor".
"Yeah." Zhou Xu took the other party's business card and stood behind Tang Wen.
Tang Wen felt unsatisfied after eating one, so he picked up Tony's sample and ate it while walking. Tony also gave Tang Wen a silk handkerchief to wipe his hands.
Tang Wen's lavish spending shocked everyone present.
What a joke, spending 5.3 million US dollars on a grape, what kind of operation is this? Even some rich people in the Middle East came to Tony's display cabinet to find out after hearing about it.
Everyone wanted to know what kind of grapes could sell for a sky-high price of 5.3 million US dollars.
However, the top-grade Roman ruby had been held in Tang Wen's hand and eaten while walking, so Tony and his team could only take out ordinary Roman ruby grapes to show everyone.
This time, a lot of "orders" were received again.
