The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

The salesperson frowned and said, "Sir, the price of this bag is $580,000." Charlie hummed and said, "No problem, I want it." The salesperson then replied, "Excusesir, if you want to purchase this bag, you'll have to purchase items of a similar amount also known as accompanying purchase" 2 Charlie was surprised by the statement and asked." What do you mean to purchase items of a similar amount? Can't I just buy this bag directly?" The salesperson smiled contemptuously as she replied. "Sir, is this your first tpurchasing a Hermes bag? Have you bought anything from Hermes previously?" Charlie shook his head. "No, may I know what the problem is?" The salesperson hummed, "A lot of Hermes bags aren't something you can purchase that easily. Just because you want to purchase it doesn't mean that you can get it directly. You can pick, choose, and buy anything you like but those only apply for the general merchandise and basic model bags which are below $300,000. Anything above that price range are considered limited edition items!" "Don't look down on this bag which is placed on display in this store. The price tag may be showing $ 580,000 but the moment you take it out of the panel, you can immediately resell it for a whopping $700,000 to $800,000. Therefore, if you want to purchase this bag, you'll have to be on the VIP waiting list or be a senior member. You have to make an appointment with our store manager in advance or you will have to purchase Hermes items of the sprice as the bag. The Hermes item cannot be another limited rare item. So, if you are able to do so, then you can buy this bag for five hundred thousand dollars." i Charlie frowned, "According to what you've just mentioned, if I want to buy this bag then I'd have to buy $500,000 worth of items first?" "Yes." The salesperson smiled. "Hermes outlets all over the world follow this rule. Have you not heard of it? Or did you know of this and was just trying to try your luck in an attempt to cheat our store?" 5 For a top-notch luxury goods brand like Hermes, its limited-edition handbags have an amazingly high preservation rate. Even with so many types of designs, these Hermes bags could fetch an even higher price in the second-hand market than the retailed shops. The reason behind this was due to the high demand of Hermes bags.

For most other brands, as long as one had the money, one would be able to purchase their bags, but that did not apply to Hermes.

Due to the price outside being exceptionally higher than the store price, if one wanted to buy it from the store at the store price then one will have to buy hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars worth of items to get the exclusive bag. 9 After including all the extra cost, if one wanted to get the limited exclusive bag then one would have to pay more than a million dollars.

However, Hermes was also very smart when it cto handling their sales. When it cto purchasing an equal price of products, they would forbid the buyer from buying another hot-selling item. One could only purchase the less famous items which were less saleable. 7 These unsaleable items, on the other hand, were very nonsensical. For example, an 18K gold ring would cost about one thousand dollars but due to the Hermes brand mark, they would be sold for fifty thousand, maybe eighty thousand, or even over a hundred thousand dollars! 4 No sane person would want to buy a ring like that even if it is bought to be sold again. Unless the items were bought at a very highly discounted price, of course, then it would be a different story. Charlie didn't get angry at the salesperson after she explained the rules of Hermes. Since Hermes had set those rules, Charlie decided to just follow them.

Charlie said, "In that case, as long as I buy other items in this shop that add up to five hundred thousand dollars, then I can purchase that bag, right?" When the salesperson heard this, her eyes lit up. She didn't expect Charlie to be a rich man. Five hundred thousand dollars and he didn't even bargain. Did he prepare the money prior to this? s After hearing it, she immediately changed her tone and quickly walked up to him. She then spoke respectfully, "Sir, I will show you what you can purchase. Please take a look at these and select whichever you want." s Charlie nodded and said, "I just saw an ordinary design handbag worth $160,000. Can that be used as the accompanying product?" "Yes." The salesperson replied without hesitation. " The price of that bag is $158,888. So you will only need to buy another $340,000 worth of accompanying products." Charlie was about to look at the other items when he heard a woman's voice coming from the door.

"Hiroshi, I want to take a look at Hermes!"

Then a man's voice cringing into the shop, "No, we're supposed to head over to the boarding gate now!"

The woman then pleased coquettishly, "We have another half an hour until we board... So, can we please do sshopping?" The man replied helplessly, "Well, we can only shop for twenty minutes!" "Hiroshi, you're the best!"

Charlie recognized the man at first glance. He was the sHiroshin d been around Nanako who had Nanako during X that tin the past. * Why was he here?
