G of L Chapter 107: Anchor

 

Money is always good to spend where you can be happy. For that reason, it is not enough to set up a good environment, and gifts must be also very important, and there must be a sense of ritual for this first time. Because this occasion is not only the first time for Wang Yan but also the first time for Liu Li. The no sense of ritual doesn't make an exciting scene, is it fair?

Wang Yan was annoyed to have hard breathing for every day! Because Liu Li had extraordinary significance to him. She was his anchor.

An anchor is used to anchor the ship, no matter how big a wave, no matter how fast it is, it can’t move the ship and this is due at the anchor.

The reason Wang Yan wanted to keep Liu Li to himself was repeatedly emphasized, seemed unnecessary for the first time, but it was not.

He wanted to freeze himself. An ordinary anchored ship was stabilized by Liu Li. He knew very well that without Liu Li's existence, he would definitely be unable to withstand waves of turbulent desires, and he would not be able to pass the infancy of his new system perfectly.

By that time, he would not be a godly tyrant, but a second-rate local tyrant. It is estimated that he would be very fishing, and then maybe he would be unfound after being shot on the reef.

Fortunately, the worst did not happen. It was as if... in the dark, there was providence.

At that time, Wang Yan was still just a high school student and didn't modify his intelligence, but with a little self-knowledge, a little introspection, and a sense of awe, he had made such an operation. It could be seen that the essence of the dog was actually a very clear boy. In addition, he should be most grateful to the "Biography of the Federal Reserve", which contained a bit of content related to behavioral finance called anchoring theory.

When he had read it for the first time, he was puzzled, until he had met Liu Li and everything had happened naturally, he had finally understood: 'Oh, it turned out to be like this.'

Let's bring time back to the sunny Army Day. At the waiting hall of the provincial station. Liu Li had looked up inadvertently and saw the little boy who got on the train at the same station was holding a thick book, reading attentively.

'He works very hard," she thought. Five minutes later, her gaze flicked for the second time, and the little boy did not move.

'Good manners.' She nodded.

Ten minutes later, her eyes flashed once again and she found the boy frowned tightly.

'Wow! So serious...hehe, like a little old man.'

Liu Li was amused by her own thoughts, her thinking began to diverge, and a stickman followed the dance line, spinning and jumping in her mind. The lens had zoomed in. He was frowning at a paragraph of text.

"When the dollar system is no longer anchored in kind... And become the anchor of many currencies themselves... the monetary policy is artificially complicated... We are experiencing an upstart-style rout." 

Is the anchor theory. Really interesting.

In reading and thinking, Wang Yan was satisfied and fulfilled, and had never noticed a beautiful girl casually glanced at him because of boredom.

All stories may begin in a hidden moment.

..............

Now, that the relationship was basically clear, Wang Yan felt that it was time to do something. A sense of ritual was very important to make trouble. There should be a grand ceremony before any huge ship was launched. Why?

The old captain understands very well.

Although he was not the old captain, he had money and didn't spend a bit softly at critical moments, so it was very simple.

Going straight to the nearest mall...Uh, this is a nonsense, because the only mall he had been to was Intima Department Store, and it was no far away. 

At Target, Cartier store. The sales lady didn't underestimate Wang Yan because of his age... This was another nonsense, and he's outfit was really expensive. The young lady's smile was genuine and enthusiastic: "Hello handsome young man, do you choose gifts for your girlfriend?"

"Yes."

Wang Yan nodded and went straight to the subject: "Take me a look at bracelets and earrings."

Liu Li was uneasy to wear a necklace, and the symbolic meaning of the ring was too strong, he really did not have such a big face to offer the ring. So he had to choose between bracelets and earrings.

Then, when passing by a certain counter, he saw a watch. The saleswoman noticed the customer had stopped and looked at it, a touch of joy immediately appeared in her eyes.

"Handsome man, do you like that watch? Would you like to show it out?"

He did not refuse: "Yes, thank you.". His look was naturally unique.

The round dial of the watch had a white background and a single circle set with diamonds. There were only four skewed diamond numbers on the dial, 12, 3, 6, and 9, filling the entire dial space. The design was really very unique. In addition, its strap was blue and white, shimmering like a pearl. Shiny and tender, a girl’s favorite... Uh, probably?

Wang Yan recalled Liu Li's daily wear and remembered the slogan she gave Lin Weiwei, what was it called...Death Barbie fan?!

Very good, 30,000 had a pink girl heart, and he should like this style. He was sure there would be no problems with his aesthetics, so he happily picked up the watch to check.

The saleswoman introduced at the right time: "Handsome guy, this is our new Pasha that Cartier just launched in April this year. The price is 260,000. It has...Blablabla."

Wang Yan was very satisfied with his face value on the front, but when he turned it to see the back, his brow couldn't help but frown.

"What the hell?! For a watch priced at 260,000, the chassis is actually made of steel? Are you making me laugh?"

Wang Yan actually didn't know much about watches, after all, the time to have money was too short. But after all, he had seen several Patek Philippe models, and he still knew what features a luxury watch should have. Looking at this Pasha quartz watch, his forehead buzzed all of a sudden.

260,000 big Yuan, for a quartz movement?!

When he first looked at the watch on the webpage, he still had a good impression of Cartier's appearance. Now that he really understood a little bit, he suddenly felt he was afraid of water in his head.

About to give up, he had suddenly remembered something. Huh. The watch that Lin Weiwei wore seemed to be the Cartier Pasha series. With her character, since she was willing to buy this brand, then the watch of the Cartier family should have merits.

After thinking about it, he took out his cell phone and dialed Chi Haomiao's number.

Chi Haomiao, nicknamed parallel imports, was a friend of Huang Xu. He has a very good relationship with Wu Fanlin and Lin Baizhou. He had a good drink at the State Guest House that day and was considered an acquaintance from now.

Parallel imports have a characteristic, three words are not separated women, girls are familiar with everything about girls, just like to play watches. For things like this, he should be right to ask him.

"Yo, Young Master Wang, ah, are you so idle today?"

"Brother Chi, I have something to ask you."

"Don't be so polite, you can just say it, tell me!"

"Okay, I just wanted to ask, how is Cartier's watch?"

Chi Haomiao heard this, and his voice suddenly rose an octave.

"The male watch is shit, and the female watch is the king of shit, don't you understand? If you buy it for yourself, listen to your brother, buy labor, don't buy a card!" 

The parallel importer’s voice was too loud, and the saleswoman standing next to Wang Yan listened. At that shit-like evaluation, an embarrassing but impolite smile appeared.

"I'll give it to a girl." Wang Yan had to explain, "I just found it was a bit rough and didn't support the bottom, so I asked you."

"What else do you want to give a girl? Buy it!" Chi Haomiao was suddenly frustrated: "Women are mentally ill. They only look at their appearance but not their performance. For the same price, it is much more reliable to send Cartier than Patek Philippe. For a watch like the Tank Blue Balloon Pasha, as long as it is under 100,000, you can choose the best one. Buy whatever you want. Be careful not to touch more than 100,000, they are really god pits, unless you can buy CPCP." 

The saleswoman was no longer polite, and the only embarrassment was left in her smile, and her heart screamed wildly: "You are mentally ill! You are a god pit! I wish your wife a tank and a blue balloon!"

The resentment was so big it hit the sky.
