Jack Ma bought KFC; we can buy a Swiss watch instead

　　Jack Ma once publicly mentioned: "When I was young, I applied for a job at KFC. Out of 25 applicants, I was the only one rejected." Recently, his capital group invested in Yum China (the parent company of KFC and Pizza Hut), taking a minority stake. This strategic move marks another major step in building his commercial ecosystem. Far from mere personal revenge, after revolutionising internet, banking and logistics sectors, this signals his entry into transforming the catering industry, particularly fast food.

　　Compared to Jack Ma buying a share in KFC, we can buy a Swiss watchSwiss watches—and a complete one at that.

　　Longines Conquest collection watch

　　When discussing Longines divers' watches, the Conquest is the undisputed choice. Today, the Conquest is a rich collection defined by signature features: large hour markers paired with a prominent, clear bezel. It also offers a wide array of distinctive colourways, including several blue variations.

　　TAG Heuer Aquaracer collection watch

　　TAG Heuer is another renowned Swiss brand. Its professional diving collection, the Aquaracer, is celebrated for exceptional water resistance, typically rated to 300 metres or more. As one of TAG Heuer's most popular lines, the Aquaracer offers casual comfort alongside professional performance, transitioning effortlessly from daily wear to diving duty. Compared to Longines, TAG Heuer's mechanical models command higher prices, and its quartz models are also positioned above Longines—partly due to brand equity, craftsmanship, and materials, with varying movement qualities across the mechanical ranges.

In life, one should always have aspirations; one day they might just come true. Much like purchasing a luxury watch: though it seems exclusive, with genuine intent, it remains within reach.
