Capítulo 1050: Chapter 1025: Patek Philippe Announcement
Huo Yan's brother appeared quite pleased with himself.
'Naturally, I can spot that it's counterfeit. Do you even know my identity?'
The viewers in the live stream were eagerly anticipating Ye Chen's humiliation.
'Haha, a food delivery worker dressed in Hermes attire, sporting a Patek Philippe watch—when did delivery personnel become so wealthy?'
'If he truly possessed such skills, why resort to delivering meals? It's hilarious.'
'I just looked it up; the timepiece on that delivery fellow is valued at 19.88 million, and it's a limited edition.'
'Goodness, doesn't this fellow do any research before attempting to boast?'
'This delivery worker is truly unfortunate to run into Brother Huo Yan.'
'It's finished for him; this delivery guy is bound to face defeat today.'
Ye Chen smiled lightly and remarked, 'What makes you think my watch is counterfeit?'
Brother Huo Yan straightened his glasses, exuding confidence, 'I'll lay it all out. Do you realize who I am? I'm the renowned Brother Huo Yan online, an expert at uncovering counterfeits.'
With those words, he extended his arm.
A Patek Philippe watch shimmered brightly.
'Youngster, allow me to demonstrate what an authentic Patek Philippe watch resembles.'
'I acquired this one for 800,000 from a wealthy heir, originally listed at 1,800,000. Observe my watch—it's so refined, with every aspect crafted perfectly, whereas your imitation looks utterly inferior.'
Ye Chen took a quick look; the opponent's watch appeared showy, yet it paled in comparison to his.
All of a sudden, certain online users observed the same.
'Why does the streamer’s watch seem somewhat crude next to the delivery guy's?'
'I sense it as well; examine the delivery guy's watch—it's remarkably fine.'
'Precisely, I once believed the streamer's watch was striking, but now it just appears gaudy.'
Nevertheless, Brother Huo Yan continued to posture dramatically.
He scoffed, 'Youngster, attempting to show off before me? You've encountered an expert. I excel at countering those who are broke yet pretend to be affluent. Let me inform you, I'm a devoted admirer of Patek Philippe, and I won't tolerate braggarts like you.'
The streamer let out a cold huff, 'That said, I have to admit, your imitation is quite advanced, but does a mere delivery worker like you deserve to wear it? Now, I'll expose you right here—each genuine Patek Philippe watch features a serial number on the reverse. Dare to share yours? I'll contact the officials to confirm its legitimacy.'
Should it prove false, the individual would concede promptly.
Brother Huo Yan had employed this method repeatedly to force imposters to back down immediately.
'Haha, reluctant to let me inspect it, huh? Just confess; your watch is bogus.'
Ye Chen found himself at a loss for words.
He was simply trying to enjoy a meal, yet he bumped into a fool.
Ye Chen responded calmly, 'I can provide you with the serial number.'
Brother Huo Yan seemed taken aback.
Regardless, he hadn't anticipated that a delivery worker would possess such boldness.
And even dare to disclose the serial number.
Irritation surged through him, as he suspected Ye Chen figured he wouldn't actually verify it.
Little punk, under the gaze of my discerning eyes, do you still plan to bluff?
Hmph, this exclusive Patek Philippe edition exists in just one unit within Hua Country, priced at 19.88 million. Rumors say a prominent figure purchased it—how could it end up on a delivery worker's wrist?
Furthermore, this delivery fellow's demeanor is so audacious, as though his accessory is legitimate.
Do you believe staying composed will fool everyone?
How innocent.
He emitted a cold snort and swiftly retreated.
He proceeded to upload the footage from today onto the platform.
He even sensed that once this clip was shared, it would undoubtedly explode in popularity.
The mere thought thrilled him—a delivery worker flaunting a multi-million-dollar watch? Haha, this could lead to massive fame.
After all, a large portion of his audience adored such content.
Brother Huo Yan deliberately chose a provocative headline.
'Check out this hilarious tale: a delivery worker donning a 19.88 million Patek Philippe'
The video was posted and, true to expectations, rapidly gained traction.
On the site, he boasted numerous fans who cherished his unique clips.
As the video appeared, a flood of supporters rushed to comment.
'Haha, this has to be the most amusing story I've come across.'
'How on earth could a delivery worker afford such a luxury timepiece? It has to be phony.'
'Brother Huo Yan has nabbed a major poser this round.'
'This delivery guy fails to consider his status, parading around with a Patek Philippe—does he merit it?'
'Fakers like this ought to get a good thrashing.'
These enthusiasts began hurling ridicule at Ye Chen.
At that instant, however, an account called Patek Philippe Official Store chimed in.
'Folks, the watch on that delivery worker is likely authentic.'
'In fact, I personally sold this very piece to this gentleman.'
The Patek Philippe Official Store was also a well-known online figure.
Plenty of internet users recognized her as a specialist in Patek Philippe timepieces.
Thus, her statement held significant weight.
'All Patek Philippe watches include an ID serial number; I've verified it, and the delivery worker's is genuine. Back then, this gentleman paid 19.88 million for it—he also purchased a 19.99 million watch for his girlfriend. I recall it vividly; no error here.'
This saleswoman frequently surfed the web for leisure.
When she watched the video, astonishment struck her.
Particularly upon noticing Ye Chen's attractive appearance, she felt assured.
The man under fire was unmistakably the buyer of that watch.
The owner of this timepiece was a diamond-level member at Patek Philippe.
With someone questioning their esteemed client, she had to defend him.
Beyond that, she escalated the issue to the main office.
The remark from Patek Philippe Official Store immediately ignited the online world.
'Is the commenter above pulling a prank? A delivery worker with a 19.88 million watch—impossible!'
'Why impossible? I sold it myself.'
Intense arguments erupted across the net, although numerous people suspected the Patek Philippe Official Store was merely Ye Chen's sock puppet account trying to salvage the situation.
Yet shortly after, the official Patek Philippe website released a statement that left all stunned.
The statement detailed:
'Lately, a B-station video entitled 'Check out this hilarious tale: a delivery worker donning a 19.88 million Patek Philippe' has drawn enormous interest from the public. We've consulted specialists for verification. The so-called 'counterfeit' on the delivery worker is authentic, authenticated as originating from the Modu Patek Philippe Official Store, worth 19.88 million. Additional checks confirm that the watch belonging to the online personality Brother Huo Yan is imitation. Kindly avoid displaying this fake in public settings, or we may seek legal recourse.'
This declaration was issued openly by Patek Philippe, complete with the corporate headquarters' official stamp.
As soon as it surfaced, the internet erupted once more.
