Chapter 26 More good things like this, please!
At the high-end brand sales area of the Guojin Center, An Liang and Yang Maoyi walked into the LV Louis Vuitton store. The staff looked at Yang Maoyi holding her phone and immediately realized that she was live-streaming. After all, the live-streaming industry has been booming, and they had previously had streamers visit their store.
Originally, the staff was about to stop Yang Maoyi, but when they saw what she was wearing, they immediately stopped and greeted her warmly instead. These savvy high-end brand staff naturally recognized products from other brands.
“Hello, welcome to Louis Vuitton,” the staff warmly greeted.
An Liang nodded slightly.
“Let’s take a look at your summer collection.”
LV was an undeniable brand in the high-end luxury market. It was the most ostentatious and widely recognized luxury brand. When people thought of high-end luxury brands, LV was the first one that usually came to mind, even for ordinary people.
Even the once low-profile Hermes later adopted LV’s strategy, boldly displaying their logo. If the massive “H” logo isn’t visible, who would know it’s Hermes?
LV was known for its logo-heavy style!
What was more important was that this style was something LV did best, and no one else could replicate it, not even Gucci, which had tried but never mastered it.
In the LV store, An Liang quickly picked out a backpack, two T-shirts, and two pairs of shorts, and the total came to over 50,000, precisely 54,000.
For this purchase, An Liang used a basic shopping cashback card, earning double cashback, effectively getting these items for free and making a profit of 46,000.
An Liang then took Yang Maoyi to the adjacent Gucci store, where they bought four pairs of casual shoes, two T-shirts, and two pairs of shorts, totaling only 48,000, which was much more reasonably priced compared to Louis Vuitton. Of course, the brand style was a bit lower-key.
This time, the luck was excellent, as the basic shopping cashback card drew a three-time cashback. Not only did they get the items for free, but they also earned a profit of 96,000.
Yang Maoyi watched as An Liang selected high-end luxury items as if he were buying vegetables. She wasn’t surprised because just last night, An Liang had spent almost a million in her livestream. What was this purchase in comparison?
What’s more, with high-end brands, you get the actual products, unlike giving virtual gifts in a livestream where you get nothing in return. These two types of spending are completely different.
“Let’s go check out Bottega Veneta. I like their woven style. Recently, they’ve changed designers and are de-emphasizing this design style. Who knows if we’ll be able to buy woven style items from them in the future?”
An Liang complained.
Bottega Veneta (BV) and Louis Vuitton (LV) are two extremes. Most of Bottega Veneta’s products don’t have logos, and they used to be known for their woven style.
An Liang didn’t carry the items around. Why would he? Carrying everything around would be a bad look, right?
Instead, the items were stored in the corresponding stores, and he reserved the phone number. After finishing shopping, he could call the store staff to bring the items out, making it convenient to load them directly into the car.
In the Bottega Veneta store, Yang Maoyi noticed a logo-free clutch.
She said, “So this bag is from Bottega Veneta. My classmate used it before, and I thought it felt so nice. I didn’t expect it to be this expensive!”
The clutch from Bottega Veneta was 19,800!
“What color do you like?” An Liang asked.
Yang Maoyi waved her hand and said, “I don’t want one. I was just remarking on it.”
“Hey, you little streamer!” An Liang hummed, “Quick, tell me what color you like, I’ll buy you a backpack too.”
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Maoyi picked ivory white. After all, she owed An Liang quite a bit already, so what was one more? An Liang chose a woven-style backpack made of lambskin. Bottega Veneta’s lambskin backpacks are quite fragile due to the combination of the lambskin material and the woven design.
If you’re not careful, the corners get scratched!
Of course, that’s Bottega Veneta’s style—if the item doesn’t get damaged, how could you justify buying a new one?
The backpack was priced at 29,800, and the clutch at 19,800, totaling 49,600. Naturally, An Liang didn’t hesitate to use the basic shopping cashback card, earning three times the cashback and getting the two bags for free, while making a profit of 99,200.
An Liang jokingly said that if the basic shopping cashback card didn’t have a limit on the number of uses, he could buy up all the high-end brands in the Guojin Center!
Unfortunately, the basic shopping cashback card only had five cashback opportunities, and he had already used four. For the last one, he chose a luxury suit from Zegna, which cost more than the limit, reaching 62,000.
Luckily, the cashback was generous, and with three times the cashback, he still netted a profit of 88,000. The Porsche 911 Turbo S’s front trunk and both rear seats were packed full of shopping bags. An Liang silently checked his purchase records in the Life Winner System.
After all the shopping, not only did he get a large number of luxury items for free, but he also earned over 410,000 in profit. Such good things—An Liang could only wish for more!
