Chapter 3836
Kathleen hurriedly said, "Grandpa, this is what I should do."
Jordan sighed and said, "I hope that this auction for the Rejuvenating Pill will go smoothly so that you can return to New York with me when the auction is over." Kathleen smiled and said, "Grandpa, I believe that you will definitely be able to win in the auction."

Just as a large number of top tycoons were checking into Shangri-La, Charlie was being dragged by Claire to the busiest shopping center in Aurous Hill.
Ever since Claire had received the invitation to attend the masterclass at Rhode Island School of Design, she had always felt as though she owed Kelly a huge favor.
It just so happened that there were not many things going on in the company today and so, Claire had dragged Charlie out shopping with her as she planned to pick out a gift for Kelly. Charlie asked Claire, "Honey, have you thought about what to give her?"
Claire nodded repeatedly and said, "I've already thought about it, and I plan to give her a Hermes handbag. I have seen her interview before, and it is said that she personally likes Hermes very much, and she has a hobby of collecting Hermes bags. In that case, I might as well cater to her liking and give one to her to show her my sincerity."
Charlie smiled and said, "In that case, you should choose the most expensive bag when you arrive at the shop. You don't have to worry about money at all. I have a lot of it."
Claire hurriedly said, "No, Honey. I have saved a lot of money recently, so let me do it myself. Otherwise, I will not feel good about it."
Charlie didn't insist too much, and he smiled as he said, "Then you should do what you can later and not buy a gift that is too expensive."
Claire smiled sweetly and said, "I've already looked at the official website, and there is a bag called the Kirkin series. It has the best sales now, and the price is not too expensive. If you do not choose extremely rare materials and workmanship, it will probably be a little more than one hundred thousand dollars." Charlie nodded slightly and said, "A bag at this price is already pretty good."
After that, both of them came to the door of the Hermes shop. At this time, there was a long queue of about a dozen people outside the shop.
According to the staff outside the door, this was because there were too many customers in the shop, and their shop had a one-to-one sales service. Now, all of the shopping guides were already taking care of customers and so, the shop had begun to limit the flow. The both of them waited outside the door for half an hour in order to line up and enter the shop.
Half an hour later, the security guard outside the shop spoke to Charlie and Claire who were at the front of the line, " Please come inside. Our shopping guide will come and serve you right away."
Just as he was saying that, a young man with a warm smile on his face walked toward them with quick steps.
As soon as they met, the man introduced himself, "Good afternoon, both of you. My name is Vivian, and I'll be your shopping guide. What you would like to see?"
Claire replied without any hesitation," Hello. I would like to buy a thirty centimeters Birkin bag. I wonder if it's in stock?"
The shopping guide smiled and said," Haha! Miss, you really have very good taste. Our Birkin series has always been a super best seller, and the number of users who have registered for the reservations is very large. However, the number of arrivals per issue is very small. So, if you want to
get the bag as soon as possible, you may have to buy more things in our shop so that your membership can level up. Your chances of winning the lottery will be greater, then!"
When Claire heard this, she asked with a look of surprise, "Won't I be buying the bag according to its selling price?"
The shopping guide suddenly put his smile away as he said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "Miss, this must be your first time shopping at Hermes, right? In our shop, no bag is sold at the counter price. You will have to buy some other accessories, otherwise, it would be impossible for us to sell the bag to you."
Claire finally came back to her senses and asked, "I'll need to buy some other accessories? This should be what the internet meant about matching goods. right?"
The shopping guide said as a matter of course, "Yes. This is the rule if you want to buy a Hermes bag now regardless of which country you are in."
Claire asked tentatively, "So, how much money do I have to spend to match goods if I want to buy a Birkin 30?"
The shopping guide said
contemptuously," The thirty
centimeters Birkin bag has always been super popular, so you're not
guaranteed to get the bag even if t
you were to match goods. Of course, the more you match goods, the higher your priority, and the greater the probability of you getting the bag. Whether you will be able to get the bag or not will depend on your level and priority to be pushed to the front."
Charlie did not really like the shopping guide's hidden routine. He recalled when the shopping guide had bluntly stated a specific amount of five hundred thousand dollars straightforwardly when he had bought a Hermes for his wife and his father-in-law the last time. Although it was unpleasant and Charlie was not satisfied with this
matter of distribution, he still
preferred to be more direct in
comparison.
So, he spoke up and said to the shopping guide, "Don't beat around the bush. Just tell me directly, how much would it cost to match goods in order to buy a Dirkin 30?"
