Siheyuan: The strongest point adding system is bound at the beginning

The main purpose was to take care of Chen Xueru. After they got up, they walked towards the department store in Wangfujing.

This department store is the predecessor of the Wangfujing Department Store. The new building is now almost completed and will be grandly opened on September 9 this year, setting a record of 25 people per day in this era.

The newly built building is not completed yet, but the shop still has to be open. The department store now supplies all aspects of the lives of the people around it. Basically, anything you need can be bought in the department store. It's okay if it's closed for one day, but if it's closed for a long time, the people around here will curse.

The department stores in Wangfujing are still far inferior to the department stores that will open in a few months, but the products here can be said to be the most comprehensive in the city. If Liu Ping'an wants to buy a watch today, this is the right place. It is definitely the store with the most categories.

After entering, Liu Pingan was surprised by the layout. Each counter had its own dedicated salesperson, which was a bit like the counters in the Huaqiangbei mobile phone market. Everyone performed their duties and stuck to their own work positions.

At this time, the ticket era had not officially begun, and the salespersons were not as arrogant as they would be a few years later. They still had to hang a slogan on the wall: "Do not beat customers without reason." They were still very enthusiastic when serving customers.

After wandering around for a while, the two found their destination - the watch counter. Next to it was a clock counter. At this time, watches were much more expensive than clocks. People were coming and going in front of the counter. Even if they didn't buy anything, they would stop and look for a while. No salesperson was seen to drive people away.

Liu Pingan himself has not studied watches in his two lifetimes. In his previous life, he entered the era of mobile phones, and it started with smartphones. Just like Musk said - my phone tells me the time.

As for the luxury goods worth tens or even millions of dollars that he saw online and in articles, he didn't even know the brand, let alone what it was called. Even if it was placed in front of him now, he wouldn't recognize it. He would just buy a nice one later.

Most of the watches on display in this department store are made in China. Shanghai brand all-steel watches are the most popular men's watches in this era and even in the next few decades. There are also Beijing brand watches, which are priced at 100 yuan, 20 yuan cheaper than Shanghai all-steel watches.

Watches are really a luxury item in this era. At present, 100 yuan is enough for Liu Pingan, who earns more than 40 yuan a month at the steel mill. He needs to save money for at least 4 months to buy one. You can't let people go without food and drink every day. This is the case that Liu Pingan has to eat enough and his family is not hungry. You have to know that most people in this era have to support a large family with one job.

The most familiar ones are the slums represented by the No. 95 Siheyuan. Most of the residents there have only one job and a family to support. They may only be able to save more than 100 yuan a year, but how many families can afford to buy luxury items such as watches?

But then again, there are still many wealthy people in this city. In just a short while, several watches were sold over the counter, including Shanghai all-steel and Beijing brands.

One can only sigh that no matter what era, there are always many rich people.

Chen Xueru had come to the counter and was looking through the transparent glass of the counter to pick up the watches. This woman had a sharp eye. She didn't even look at the domestic watches, but stared at the imported watches in the corner.

But it's not her fault. Foreign products are really good-looking. When she walked over, she saw Chen Xueru asking the salesperson to take out a pair of couple watches. She took the female watch and tried it on her wrist. When she saw Liu Ping'an coming over, she immediately excitedly took his hand and put it together with her wrist, and asked Liu Ping'an to hold a men's watch and try it on her wrist.

Seeing the joy in her eyes, she was obviously very satisfied with the couple's watches. After comparing them for a while, Chen Xueru nodded with satisfaction and put the watch in her hand on the counter. She began to ask the saleswoman about the price of the pair of watches.

The salesperson smiled and said to the two people: "These two watches are 500 yuan in total, the men's is 280, and the women's is 220."

"Why is it so expensive?"

"Both watches are imported from abroad. They are Swiss Rolex, an internationally renowned brand. Of course they are expensive."

Chen Xueru's mood immediately turned sour after hearing this, and she restrained herself from looking at the watch again. She really liked it, but the price was really not attractive.

There's no way, this price is enough to buy 5 Beijing brand watches.

Chen Xueru could only force a smile and said to the salesperson: "Let's take a look at domestic watches."

The salesperson was not surprised by this situation and had obviously encountered it many times. These two watches were good-looking, but the prices were not very attractive.

However, most of those who can turn around and say they are looking at domestic watches are really here to buy watches.

Just as the salesperson was about to put away the pair of watches, Liu Pingan interrupted her and said, "These are the only two we have. Pack them up!"

Hearing Liu Ping'an's words, the saleswoman was stunned for a moment, then her face lit up, she turned around, picked up a small box, and put the two watches in. Department stores can't sell many of these foreign watches all year round.

The same watch is used to tell time, so why should we spend 2-3 times the price of two watches to buy one? People in this era are still pragmatic.

If you can avoid wasting money, don't spend a penny more. For the same watch, Shanghai All-Steel is only 20 yuan more expensive than Beijing brand watch. Why is your watch more than twice as expensive as Shanghai All-Steel?

Chen Xueru was still in a daze. This shameless guy actually brought so much money when he went out today. First, the amber and the gold hairpin together cost nearly 500 yuan. Now another 500 yuan, without blinking an eye.

I remembered the beggar-like appearance of this brat on his first day in my store. I didn't expect that he was actually a hidden rich man. After we get married, I will make this brat hand over all the money he has. No, I will make him tell me how much money he has when he leaves this department store.
