Chapter 974 Taeyeon Wants to Find a Personal Hobby?
During lunch time, Zhang Pingan returned to S.M's underground garage again. After receiving Zhang Pingan's call, Taeyeon came down from the stairs. When she entered the car, Taeyeon saw the McLaren car model. For Taeyeon, who already loves cars, racing models like this are still very attractive. Taeyeon said "huh" in confusion and picked up the car model placed on the back seat.
Taeyeon held the car model in her hand and admired it: "Oh? How did you figure out buying a racing car model? Logically speaking, shouldn't you buy the car directly? Oh, this model is a bit exquisite."
Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "Can the models made by the Seiko craftsmen who make watches not be exquisite? Seat belts, let's go."
Listening to Zhang Pingan's words, Taeyeon said very puzzledly: "Is the watch made by Seiko? Then you really have nothing to do?"
Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "Haha, actually I got a watch as a gift, a joint model made by the watch manufacturer and McLaren. Recently, watches have begun to launch some co-branded models with car manufacturers. Ferrari also has co-branded models."
When Taeyeon heard that Zhang Pingan bought another watch, she just smiled and said, "The watch is here, let me take a look."
"Glove box."
Taeyeon opened the glove box and took out the shopping bag. When she saw the brand, she just smiled slightly. She didn't know Richard before. This extremely expensive watch was Zhang Ping'an who let her know that this thing that looked like a 'toy watch' actually reached a sky-high price.
When Zhang Pingan appeared with them, there were no magazine introductions. It wasn’t until this year that a fashion magazine highlighted this upstart watch brand, and netizens also jokingly called the brand ‘a ticket to the rich’.
Taeyeon took out the watch from the watch box. When she looked at the 'elastic' strap, she put it on her hand with a wry smile: "We used to use 'plastic' watch straps, but now we have elastic ones? How much does it cost?" "
"Twelve!" Zhang Pingan just said a number without mentioning the unit. Twelve, you can’t use ‘ten thousand’ as the unit, right?
Taeyeon took the watch and looked at the precision-machined parts inside, then pouted and said, "Have you counted how many watches you have?"
Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "Twenty something... seems a bit much. How can you have 10 billion won?"
Taeyeon smiled and said: "The media reported that you own three watches worth two billion won, and I also know that there is one more than the media, and there are several watches worth more than one billion won, ten billion? I think it’s all one hundred and fourty-five, right?”
Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "I buy these things to look cool while wearing them, and as collectibles at the same time."
When Taeyeon complained about Zhang Pingan’s collection of these unreasonably expensive watches,
She was a little speechless and helpless. She was speechless because the watch was so expensive and she couldn't appreciate it. It's helpless because they are all collectibles. This year you bought them for 2 billion won, but next year they might increase by 2.1 billion won? The year after next it might be 2.15 billion. Anyway, the price of watches with collectible value is really rising.
If Zhang Ping'an is just a second-generation rich man with a certain degree of vanity? Then what is the real need for him to collect these things? Collecting is something you do when you have spare money, and those second-generation rich people have at most one hundred thousand or more than two or three hundred thousand in pocket money a month. They wear a multi-million-level watch, which is because they are full of food.
But how much cash does Zhang Ping'an have in his pocket? Taeyeon knows it well. She and Pani were both there when the Bitcoin was sold in Los Angeles. Zhang Pingan now has a billion US dollars in deposits? Cash deposits. So he bought a million-dollar collection watch? To him, it’s really nothing. One billion US dollars is money that many people will never earn in their lifetime.
When she and Pani got the $100 million, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep, and they didn't even dare to tell their families too much. But after Zhang Pingan received one billion US dollars, he was still the same as before. He went to work when he needed to work and was lazy when he needed to be lazy. He didn't feel lost at all. Maybe all this is because Zhang Ping'an was born in a different family? The meaning of looking at 'money' itself is also different.
One hundred million U.S. dollars, one billion U.S. dollars, or even the tens of billions of U.S. dollars that are rumored to be inherited, he is not too moved. He is still the same person, not much has changed.
Didn't he say that he would enjoy all kinds of luxurious life after having one billion US dollars? His biggest hobby has not changed much, he likes playing with cars, but he does not collect cars, so he buys several cars a year to make a living. The only collection he likes is watches? This is a habit he has maintained since they met Zhang Pingan.
Taeyeon took off the watch worth 1.2 billion from her hand and put it back into the box. At the same time, she said, "I don't know now. What do I really like? I once thought about making money by myself." Do I have enough money? I want to buy this, and I want to buy that. But now that I have reached the financial level, I suddenly feel that the things I wanted to buy before have become less interesting, so I can’t tell now. Should I develop a collecting hobby?”
Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "Find your own hobbies and find the collections you want. You need to wait for your rest time to slowly find the answer to this question. You can try baking, painting, sports, driving in the stadium, deep-sea diving, and even flying a plane. As for collecting, you don't need to learn from others to collect famous paintings or antiques, because it is easy to be fooled if you are not specialized in that subject. It depends on what you like. If you like jewelry, collect jewelry. If you like bags, collect bags. I even saw someone collect lipstick."
Zhang Pingan continued: "Collection really depends on what you like. You also know that many boys collect basketball shoes. Although I don't know What is the meaning of their shoe collection, but I never deny other people's hobbies. So it doesn't matter what the collection is, it just depends on whether you like it or not. For example, if you have a lot of cosmetics, you can buy all the hot-selling products on the market to try, and the feeling after applying makeup, just like many beauty bloggers. You can also try a single product, because the color of the foundation is different, you can talk about its effect and the feeling after applying makeup in detail. There are so many brands of lipstick, so many colors and different textures, what kind of makeup is suitable for what kind of lipstick, and the texture of the lipstick, you can try to recommend it to your fans. "
Zhang Pingan passed some ideas about online sales to Taeyeon, and Taeyeon sat next to her and kept digesting Zhang Pingan's words. Because when she is resting, she really needs to do something she likes to pass her vacation, which can be traveling, makeup, or racing as Zhang Pingan said, etc., all of which can let fans see a different her.
Whether it is online live broadcast or celebrities themselves being "UP masters", they will grow rapidly in the next two years. Especially Japanese and Korean stars, people with low incomes have begun to turn to the Internet, because the restrictions on the Internet are much looser than those on TV stations, and themes can be set according to their own preferences. As long as there is no illegal or criminal behavior, the Internet is relatively tolerant.
So Taeyeon hesitated, should she pick up the camera again to make her own "TG.TV"?
Taeyeon's "TG.TV" and Lee Ji-eun's "IU.TV" are completely different in nature. Taeyeon records her private life, while Lee Ji-eun records the behind-the-scenes work.
(PS: Later, Taeyeon didn't do "TG.TV" much, but liked to live broadcast with fans on the spot. Lee Ji-eun also started her live broadcast career during the epidemic.)
Soon, the two came to the chef's restaurant. The restaurant had passed the peak dining time when the two arrived. The chef standing in the open kitchen saw Zhang Pingan and Taeyeon coming to eat together, and he walked out with a smile.
The chef is Lee Won-il in "Please Take Care of the Refrigerator", and he mainly sells fusion Korean food. After more than one or two years of performing in "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator", he actually learned a lot of experience from other chefs.
Now the restaurants of these so-called celebrity chefs are very satisfied with the number of reservations every day.
He put down the things in his hands with a smile and walked towards Zhang Pingan and Taeyeon: "PD Zhang, we received your order call, and our kitchen is a little nervous." After greeting Zhang Pingan first, he smiled and said to Taeyeon: "Hello, Taeyeonxi, I cooked for Sunny on the show last time. I saw that some of the ingredients you put in the refrigerator are more seafood-flavored?"
Zhang Pingan responded first: "I'm not a professional food critic, what's there to be nervous about."
Taeyeon smiled and said: "During our comeback, we eat more fresh food because its fat content is lower."
After Li Yuanri personally arranged for Zhang Pingan and Taeyeon to sit down, he said: "I'll go and prepare the food for you first."
The waiter also came over to ask if he needed a drink, and Zhang Pingan waved his hand and refused because he had work in the afternoon.
Zhang Pingan asked for a glass of lemon soda water, and Taeyeon asked for mineral water.
Although the restaurant has passed the peak waiting period for dining, there are still four or five tables of guests sitting in the restaurant, so when Zhang Pingan and Taeyeon appeared, many people cast their eyes on them. Some even took out their mobile phones to take pictures of the two of them in a sneaky manner.
However, Taeyeon didn't care about the mobile phone photos of people around her. She took a sip of water and said, "Why did you think of dining in such a popular restaurant? Do you want to try the chef's skills and see if it is as highly praised as in the show?"
Zhang Pingan shook his head and whispered to Taeyeon about the new show..
