Chapter 93: This Gacha Pull is Awesome! (722)
Jiang Shu led Kim Minju to the main entrance of the DM Entertainment building, then started recording and raised his selfie stick.
Initially, Jiang Shu was quite awkward, but after a week of "hellish schedule" baptism, he had become completely at ease in front of the camera.
"Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Shu, and this is Kim Minju, a trainee from DM Entertainment. Come say hello to everyone."
Kim Minju nervously bowed towards the camera.
"Hello everyone, I'm Kim Minju, a trainee from DM Entertainment."
"Today, Zhou Zhou and I are going to the LV Flagship Store in Cheongdam-dong, the five-story one, the largest in Seoul…"
Kim Minju saw Jiang Shu stride forward and followed him, a little confused by his address.
Just now, it could have been a mistake, but this time it was clearly intentional.
Zhou Zhou?
This was the first time Kim Minju had heard such a nickname. Usually, her friends called her Minju. "Zhou Zhou," such a repetitive name, sounded a bit sappy…
But then she remembered that her chairman seemed to call Karina sunbaenim "Xiao Liu" and Yuan Ying sunbaenim "Xiao Yuan"…
It must be the Chairman's habit of showing closeness, right?
Kim Minju thought so.
After getting into the car, Jiang Shu handed the selfie stick to Kim Minju in the passenger seat.
Kim Minju nervously took it.
"Hold this for me, I'm driving."
"Understood!"
"Don't be nervous, we can edit it later. Relax," Jiang Shu said to Kim Minju after buckling his seatbelt.
"Understood."
"Are you familiar with LV bags?" Jiang Shu wasn't in a hurry to leave. He rested his left hand on the steering wheel and turned to look at Kim Minju, asking.
"So… so-so," Kim Minju adjusted the angle so the camera could capture both her and Jiang Shu.
"Alright, take a look at this." Jiang Shu opened his phone and showed the photo Su Xueqi sent him to Kim Minju.
"My sister wants me to buy her one of these. Do you recognize it?"
Kim Minju took the phone and looked at it, then said, "This is a limited edition bag. There might be a purchase threshold."
"Purchase threshold?" Jiang Shu was surprised. "What does that mean?"
"It means you need to reach a certain spending standard at LV to be eligible to purchase this kind of limited edition bag."
A question mark appeared on Jiang Shu's forehead.
This sounded similar to Rolex.
If you want to buy a Rolex, you first have to spend a certain amount at Tudor.
"Roughly how much?"
"Probably two hundred million korean won," Kim Minju said uncertainly. "I only saw it online."
She only had some knowledge; she didn't actually spend much on such luxury goods herself.
"Let's talk about it when we get there," Jiang Shu took back his phone. "Let's just go first."
"Understood."
He started the car and drove towards Cheongdam-dong.
DM Entertainment in Samsong-dong and Cheongdam-dong are both in Gangnam District, not far from each other. Although there was a lot of traffic, it took only about twenty minutes to arrive.
Under the guidance of security personnel, he parked the car in a spot, and both of them got out.
Looking at Kim Minju holding the selfie stick, Jiang Shu smiled.
"You hold it."
"Understood," Kim Minju replied immediately.
Jiang Shu looked up at the LV Flagship Store in front of him, and Kim Minju also aimed the camera at the five-story building.
Both the DM Entertainment building and this LV Flagship Store in Korea were five stories tall, but compared to the LV Flagship Store, each floor of DM Entertainment was larger. Office buildings and retail stores were still quite different.
After all, which office building would have a twelve-meter-high main entrance?
"Let's go."
Jiang Shu and Kim Minju walked together towards the 12-meter tall door.
Kim Minju followed about half a meter behind Jiang Shu, which allowed her to capture his side profile and half of her own body.
Jiang Shu had said he was bringing her on camera, so she couldn't just be a photographer and not appear at all.
As they entered the store, they didn't hear any "Welcome" greetings, because there were too many people.
Luxury goods in Korea are never a problem to sell; annual sales are growing rapidly. Across Asia, Korea holds the undisputed first place in per capita ownership of luxury brands.
For the entire Korean society, which views luxury goods as a symbol of status, people will buy luxury goods even if they max out their credit cards or take out loans.
LV, as the most famous brand for luxury bags, is even considered by Korean women to be something they must buy once in their lifetime.
Jiang Shu took a quick glance. There were only three sales associates on the first floor.
Ridiculous. Only three sales associates on one floor, and they were all just standing around watching, showing no intention of providing service.
"Zhou Zhou, let's go," Jiang Shu called out to Kim Minju, who was busy filming various bags with the camera.
"Understood, coming."
Kim Minju jogged to catch up with Jiang Shu.
The two approached a sales associate.
"I'd like to buy a 2018 autumn limited edition three-in-one bag. Which floor should I go to?"
The sales associate, who was playing on her phone, looked up upon hearing this. Upon seeing Jiang Shu, her expression froze, and she immediately dropped her nonchalant demeanor, a pleasing and beautiful smile appearing on her face.
"Hello, sir. It's a pleasure to serve you."
Aura is an elusive but real thing. Sales associates have seen many rich people and ordinary onlookers. Although there are times they misjudge, such situations are rare.
The man in front of her clearly held a high position, at least a young executive, and his female companion was also quite beautiful, perfectly fitting their target customer profile.
"What is your membership code, please? I'll check it for you," the sales associate said with a smile, holding an iPad.
"Is this the membership code?" Jiang Shu opened his phone and found a string of numbers that Su Xueqi had sent him.
The sales associate leaned in, her ample chest seemingly accidentally brushing against Jiang Shu's arm.
"Yes, it is. I'll check for you."
Jiang Shu glanced at the sales associate and subtly distanced himself from her.
Seeing this, the sales associate also stopped leaning in.
"Hello, sir, this membership code belongs to Ms. Chu Xueqi, our member in the China Mainland region. Her total spending is 3.76 million RMB."
Kim Minju's eyes immediately widened.
3.76 million RMB?
How many korean won is that?
Jiang Shu was also stunned.
What did this little girl buy? Almost four million in bags.
"So, can I buy that limited edition bag?"
"Of course you can," the sales associate smiled and nodded. "We'll serve you in the VIP room on the fifth floor. This way, please."
Jiang Shu acknowledged her and was about to leave with the sales associate when the sound of high heels clicking on the floor came. They all turned to look and saw another sales associate bringing another customer to the elevator.
Kim Minju glanced and then looked away, but Jiang Shu couldn't take his eyes off her.
Looking at the girl beside the sales associate, dressed in a black spaghetti-strap long dress and exuding an air of nobility, Jiang Shu felt a surge of excitement.
