Chapter 536 Strategic Reserves, those who know, know.
"drop--"
Accompanied by the crisp, pleasant sound of the POS machine swiping the card, the bill amount finally settled on a staggering figure: 860,000 RMB.
A set of clothes, averaging tens of thousands of yuan, has not even had a single piece of fabric seen yet, and nearly a million yuan of real money has already been poured in.
Even Ye Fan, who was already used to huge sums of money flowing through his pocket, couldn't help but think to himself: These luxury brands are really quick and ruthless when it comes to ripping off the rich!
"Mr. Ye, thank you so much for your generous trust and strong support!" The store manager respectfully returned the bank card and the high-end voucher card with the distinctive fragrance of ink to Ye Fan with both hands.
At this moment, the smile on her face was more than ten times more genuine than before, and her tone was as gentle as if she were handling a rare treasure.
"Please rest assured that to ensure every bespoke garment tailored to you fits you perfectly like a second skin, our Italian workshop will employ experienced artisans with decades of experience to hand-sew the entire process, from cutting to sewing. Therefore, this pursuit of perfection takes some time, and we ask for your understanding."
The store manager bowed slightly again, his posture humble yet respectful.
"However, given that you are our most valued VIP, we have opened a special 'green channel' for you. The entire process will only take about 20 business days. Once your garment is perfectly finished, we will use a specific mailing method to deliver it carefully and respectfully to your designated address as quickly as possible."
Ye Fan nodded calmly, indicating his understanding.
A 20-day production timeframe is indeed considered "lightning-fast" in the world of luxury haute couture, where international communication, long scheduling, and handcrafted finishing are commonplace.
He knew from his previous life that it was common for those century-old tailor shops on Savile Row in London, which served old European nobles and top tycoons, to book a custom-made suit six months in advance, with a production time long enough to make people wait forever.
However, Ye Fan was not interested in the kind of "antique" luxury that was built up by red tape and long waits.
In contrast, he prefers Fendi's luxurious approach, which combines top-tier prestige with comfort and freedom, aligning with the pace of modern elite lifestyles.
"Let's go," Ye Fan turned around naturally, his broad, warm hand encircling Chen Wanyu's slender waist. "Next, it's time to see you."
His voice, filled with undeniable doting and anticipation, announced that Chen Wanyu's "shopping spree" was about to begin.
Chen Wanyu's heartbeat quickened quietly, following the warmth of his palm and the direction of his gaze.
......
Step out of Fendi's heavy glass door.
Ye Fan turned his head and looked at Chen Wanyu, whose eyes and brows still held excitement and a hint of unsatisfaction. He smiled indulgently and tightened his grip on her waist. "Come on, I'll take you to the next stop."
The goal was clear and specific – Chanel.
It is said that no woman in this world can resist the magic of the intertwined double C logo.
When Chen Wanyu's gaze fell upon Chanel's iconic black and white minimalist window display, and the tweed suits and quilted handbags displayed like works of art inside, the instantaneous burst of light in her beautiful eyes, like stars falling, completely convinced Ye Fan of this "truth."
It is the awakening of a desire deeply rooted in a woman's genes, an instinctive yearning for elegance and classicism.
Stepping into the store, the air is filled with the classic N°5 fragrance.
Since Chanel's core customer base is highly concentrated among women, the exclusive haute couture designer here is a mature woman with a gentle temperament, wearing the brand's classic tweed suit, and exuding French elegance and professionalism in her words and deeds.
Compared to Stephen from Fendi, who left people bewildered and required mental preparation, this female designer's tactful and measured communication skills, as well as her professional, efficient, and respectful measurement services, made Ye Fan feel like he was bathed in a spring breeze, and his comfort level increased dramatically.
After taking measurements, Chen Wanyu, with the professional and insightful advice of the designer, carefully selected several autumn haute couture ready-to-wear designs that exuded elegance and impeccable tailoring, and entered the twenty-day customization waiting period.
However, can the instant gratification from shopping be solely relied upon for delivery twenty days later?
Ye Fan's gaze swept over the dazzling array of new seasonal products in the store, and he gestured with his chin directly to the saleswoman who was already standing to the side with eager eyes:
"We took out all the latest styles that just came from this fall's runway shows, and those that fit, to let her try them on."
He casually pointed with his long, slender finger to the center of the shop window: "And that one, the medium-sized black hobo bag that just arrived."
That Chanel Gabrielle bag is undoubtedly a super hot item; even regular VIPs have to wait in long lines and buy other items to have a slim chance of getting it.
But Ye Fan was considered a Chanel SVIP, and the saleswoman didn't hesitate for a second. Her movements were as swift as if she had received military training. She quickly packed it up and presented it respectfully.
When Chen Wanyu changed into a brand new Chanel tweed suit and carried the hobo bag she had always dreamed of, she radiated a glow that blended nobility and sweetness. As she walked out of the store arm in arm with Ye Fan, the satisfied smile on her lips was like a blooming flower that she couldn't hide.
However, after his lavish shopping spree of luxury goods, Ye Fan didn't forget his other crucial "hidden mission" for today.
Some essential "strategic consumables" are being destroyed at an alarming rate, especially after last night's high-intensity, high-loss "battle".
In order not to affect future "combat readiness" and "user experience", a large-scale strategic reserve must be carried out.
As Ye Fan led Chen Wanyu confidently and effortlessly through the doors of the Balenciaga flagship store next door, the impeccably made-up and fashionably dressed celebrity saleswoman who was coming towards them suddenly jumped up and almost lost her composure and cried out in surprise!
As the top saleswoman at Balenciaga in Deji Plaza, she had an unforgettable impression of Ye Fan's breathtakingly handsome face and his terrifying purchasing power, which allowed him to sweep up goods like a tidal wave.
However, as a top-tier SA who is well-versed in the ways of survival, she has long understood the ironclad rule that "client privacy is above all else"—although the female companions this gentleman brings each time have different faces, they are all stunning beauties, with different temperaments but equally dazzling.
All you have to do is silently watch the drama unfold in your mind while calculating the generous commission you're about to receive. Is there any more perfect job experience in the world?
"Good afternoon, Mr. Ye!" The sales assistant's face instantly lit up with a professional smile brighter than the sun, her eyes scanning Chen Wanyu's beautifully shaped, long legs, which were encased in wide-leg pants, with an extremely professional yet subtle look.
