“Mr. Yang, did you hear me speak?”
Seeing that Yang Hao didn’t answer her question and instead had a somewhat sleazy smile on his face, Natasha subconsciously frowned.
She knew she fit the aesthetic preferences of Hua Country men, and during her half-year stay in Hua Country, she had received quite a few gestures of interest, so Mr. Yang’s reaction didn’t surprise her.
She just felt a bit disdainful inside.
Thinking this was yet another sleazy Hua Country man!
“What is the most expensive piano in your store?”
While Natasha was silently scoffing, Yang Hao suddenly asked.
“The most expensive piano??”
Natasha looked at this man she found a bit sleazy, shocked. She had been working at this piano shop for three months, and this was the first time a customer had asked such a question.
“Miss Natasha, did you hear me speak?”
Yang Hao smiled and repeated what Natasha had said before.
“Mr. Yang, please follow me.”
Natasha snapped back to reality and then, smiling, led Yang Hao to a private room at the back of the shop.
There was a grand piano there, though it was covered with a dust cover.
“Mr. Yang, this model is the most expensive piano in our store, with a selling price of 3.19 million.”
“It’s our Steinway limited edition.”
Natasha pointed at the piano priced at 3.19 million and told Yang Hao.
Her mind thought, wasn’t he asking for the most expensive one?
Let’s see what he says now!
Steinway, as a top-tier piano brand, had the cheapest piano in the store priced at over fifty thousand, which was considered the most basic entry-level model, and the prices for the upright pianos ranged from hundreds of thousands to several millions.
And the price for grand pianos was over a million, with the most expensive reaching nearly two million!
The limited edition grand piano that Natasha was introducing now was the only one priced over three million.
“Okay.”
“Then I’ll take this piano!”
Natasha had been waiting to see Yang Hao’s shocked expression, convinced that this Hua Country man would never have expected there to be a piano costing over three million in the shop.
However, she didn’t see the shock on his face that she was expecting.
Instead, he calmly said he would buy this piano.
“Mr. Yang, are you sure you want to purchase this piano?”
Natasha asked incredulously.
“Of course.”
Yang Hao nodded, “Can you deliver it to my home?”
“Certainly.”
“If you buy this piano, you can also enjoy a lifetime of free tuning services.”
“Mr. Yang, if there isn’t anything else, shall we go to the counter to settle the payment?”
Natasha was anxious not to let this big client slip away.
As a salesperson, she naturally had a sales commission, which was proportionate to the total sales amount.
Due to the high unit price of Steinway pianos, the commission rate wasn’t very high, at most 3%!
If Yang Hao were to buy this piano worth 3.19 million, Natasha’s commission would be 3% of the total sales amount, which amounted to over ninety thousand.
For Natasha, a foreign worker, this was naturally a huge sum of money!
Therefore, this Combat Nationality beauty’s attitude towards Yang Hao, the sugar daddy, underwent a significant change.
Before, Natasha thought this Hua Country man was somewhat sleazy.
Now, she felt that her judgment was flawed; a person who could spend 3.19 million on a piano must have high aspirations for music.
How could such a piano-loving music enthusiast be sleazy!
No, such a fervent music lover could definitely not be a sleazy person!
The two went to the counter, where Yang Hao suavely proceeded to pay with his card.
And Natasha’s anxious heart finally settled.
The commission of over ninety thousand was in her pocket!
Using the Hua Country phrase she had learned, it was: Very nice!
However, that was secondary; more importantly, she had met a Hua Country tycoon.
Ding!
Congratulations, host, for completing the mission: [Shocking International Friend]
Congratulations, host, for receiving a cashback of 15.95 million.
Congratulations, host, for acquiring the skill: Max-Level Russian.
After Yang Hao made the payment, a series of system prompts rang out in his head.
Following that, the bank sent a transfer notification of 15.95 million.
Not bad.
Show off and make money at the same time.
Moreover, the 3.19 million was an expense for his temporary girlfriend, Guan Mengmeng.
When settling the mission tomorrow, there should be a double cashback.
That meant by purchasing the piano, he had swiped nearly twenty million from the System!
One could say that was quite nice indeed.
“Mr. Yang, let’s add each other on WeChat.”
“Then, you can send me the address.”
The stunning beauty from the Combat Nationality had taken the initiative to send a WeChat friend request.
In reality, she could have simply written the address on the delivery note, but Natasha had still asked for WeChat, the implication of which was obvious.
Yang Hao added her on WeChat and thought to himself, Who says foreign women aren’t materialistic??
Human nature is the same everywhere.
Some women from other countries can be even more materialistic than those in Hua Country.
There are many videos on international short-video platforms testing how to pick up women, with one guy first attempting without a luxury car with little success, and then with a luxury car achieving a stunning 100 percent success rate.
There was even a woman who, despite having a boyfriend right by her side, directly got in the guy’s car!
Another misconception is that foreigners are all environmentally conscious, don’t engage in competition, and like to drive small cars.
The reality is not that they prefer small cars, but simply that they can’t afford anything else!
Wealthy foreigners also drive luxury cars. Take the Island Nation next door, for example, where ordinary people do indeed mostly drive cars of their own national brand, but the wealthy mostly drive BBA.
As early as 2021, Mercedes-Benz’s sales in the Island Nation surpassed their own upscale brand Lexus, and Porsche was also selling well there.
Back in the ’90s, the Island Nation’s consumption of luxury goods once accounted for 68 percent of the global total, and even today, there are still young women from the Island Nation who resort to compensated dating to get a certain luxury brand bag…
So, when it comes to materialism, the situation around the world is more or less the same.
There’s no need to criticize anyone for it.
To use a line from a movie: As long as you have money, anywhere can be paradise.
It’s just the way it is, that’s damn reality!
Yang Hao had just added the voluptuous Natasha on WeChat, then asked Feng Lina for Guan Mengmeng’s detailed address to send to the Combat Nationality beauty, and they agreed on a delivery time for the evening.
“Mr. Yang, I’ll see you out.”
Natasha smiled as she escorted Yang Hao out of the piano shop, watching the Hua Country magnate get into the elevator and leave before she returned inside the store.
At that moment, a fashionably dressed middle-aged woman hurried into the store: “Natasha, has our store’s treasure been sold?”
This fashionable middle-aged woman was the owner of the piano shop.
“Yes, boss!”
“The buyer just left.”
Natasha replied with a grin.
“Natasha, you are really amazing!”
“That piano had been sitting in the shop for over a year, and it finally sold!”
“I’m going to give you a bonus of ten thousand!” the middle-aged woman said beamingly.
“Thank you, boss~!”
Natasha quickly expressed her gratitude.
“You should thank the buyer.”
“It’s a shame I got back a little late and didn’t see what the rich guy looked like,” the woman said with a hint of regret, shaking her head.
“The buyer was quite handsome.”
“Tall and strong, he certainly meets our country girls’ aesthetic,” Natasha said with a laugh.
“From the sound of it, you seem interested in him?” the middle-aged woman teased.
“Mm, I am quite interested!”
Natasha nodded, as women from the Combat Nationality tend to be quite straightforward. Experience new worlds on M-VL-em|p,yr
Meanwhile.
Yang Hao had arrived near Musical Instrument City, at the antique market.
Since Guan Weimin loved painting and calligraphy,
Yang Hao thought to buy a couple of genuine artworks for him.
However, after visiting several shops selling paintings and calligraphy, he hadn’t found a single authentic piece.
As soon as he activated Fiery Eyes,
all those so-called masterpieces touted by the shop owners instantly turned out to be fakes.
“Brother, take a look at this ‘Portrait of a Lady’ by Tang Yin, an absolute original…”
A scruffy stall owner grabbed Yang Hao and pointed at a painting on the wall.
Yang Hao glanced up at the painting, which was quite appealing.
But something didn’t feel right.
After a closer look, he finally realized what was off.
What the hell!!
They had black stockings during the Ming Dynasty??
Trying to fool me because I don’t know history, huh!!
The Ming Dynasty did have stockings, but the material back then was entirely different from the polyester fibers used today!!
And the woman in the painting was clearly wearing modern black stockings!
Yang Hao gave the scruffy stall owner a dumbfounded look: “Who did you say painted this again??”
“Tang Yin, you know, Tang Bohu.”
“Have you seen ‘Flirting Scholar’?” the stall owner had the audacity to keep acting as if Yang Hao was the one clueless about art.
