After a while, the staff inside Starbucks whispered in the store manager's ear in an unbelievable voice: "Manager, come and take a look."
The store manager said impatiently, "What's wrong? It's just a card check. Do you need me to personally review it?"
"No, it's just that this card..."
The store manager couldn't stand the clerk's hesitation, so he shook his head and walked towards the computer.
The information in the computer is the information of all members worldwide.
The membership card showed that the place of issuance was actually the United States, and the cardholder was actually a Chinese named Bruce Lin.
The most important thing is that this card does not provide any consumption records because there is no permission to access it.
The scariest thing is that this card is not an ordinary Starbucks membership card, but a limited edition of five out-of-print titanium purple cards issued by Starbucks for a period of ten years.
The Howard family, founders of Starbucks, only gave gifts to a few close friends.
The whereabouts of four of them are known around the world, but the owner of the fifth card has always been a mystery.
I didn't expect it was this person.
The store manager was stunned. There were only five purple cards in the world, and they appeared in his store. What a great honor it was.
"Manager, this can't be true." The clerk pointed at Miss Chen, who wanted to change tables with Lin Yi, who was picking his nose as if no one was around and deliberately wiping his hands on the table to disgust her.
"This..." The store manager frowned. Logically speaking, those who can hold this card must be god-level wealthy people who can be listed on the Forbes list.
Otherwise, he must be a member of the Howard family.
It is indeed very strange that Lin Yi actually possesses this card, but after carefully examining the photo on it, it is found that it is indeed 99% similar to Lin Yi.
"It has to be him. The age, height and appearance shown here are exactly the same as this gentleman. It must be him." After the store manager said this, he walked over with a smile on his face, rubbing his hands.
Miss Chen thought the store manager was about to kick this disgusting guy out.
She didn't intend to occupy Lin Yi's table, she just couldn't stand Lin Yi.
"Manager, what's going on? Can we get rid of him?"
As Miss Chen was speaking, she was surprised to find that the store manager didn't even look at her. He bent down 90 degrees, approached Lin Yi with a charming smile, and respectfully presented the fingernail-sized card with both hands. It was a far cry from his casual attitude just now.
Lin Yi snorted lightly and threw the card back into his wallet.
The store manager felt distressed when he saw this; the last time a purple card like this appeared at an auction, it was sold at a high price of 70 million Miyuan, and yet this man actually stuffed such a valuable item into his tattered wallet.
What a waste!
If a gold card may have some small privileges, then the authority of a purple card is much greater.
According to the information just shown, Lin Yi has the right to appoint or dismiss the store manager of any Starbucks, and can even close any Starbucks.
He must not be offended.
"Manager, what's wrong with you? This is a gold card. Doesn't my words have any effect?" Miss Chen said angrily.
The store manager gave a wry smile, thinking that your gold card was nothing, there were at least ten thousand of them in China.
He only has five purple cards.
The name of any of the masters would scare you to death.
Superficial woman, haha.
"Miss Chen, I'm sorry I can't meet your unreasonable request, because this gentleman owns a supreme purple card that is limited to five in the world." The store manager cleared his throat and said solemnly, fearing that his attitude would desecrate this supreme purple card.
