Chapter 246: Call Li Qian to the room
"Boom...... Squeak......"
Accompanied by the cacophony of turbine engines and the sound of pulleys rolling rapidly.
The huge body of the Boeing 747 passenger plane slowly landed at Heathrow International Airport, the main airport of London, the capital of the United Kingdom, is the world's main aviation hub, not only the busiest airport in Europe, but also one of the busiest airports in the world, in this era, can rank third in the world.
When Xia Yu and his party walked down the ladder of the plane, he smiled at the corner of his mouth and took a deep breath.
"It's finally here, and this is London, the heart of the empire on which the sun never sets. ”
Xia Yu exhaled the depression in his chest and muttered to himself.
Li Qian and the others who followed Xia Yu also looked around, none of them had ever been to the UK, and it could even be said that except for Li Wuming, Yan Shining had never left Xiangjiang, and to put it mildly, they were all people who had seen the world.
"Let's go, let's find a hotel to settle down first!"
With Xia Yu's order, everyone left the airport from the VIP channel, and then went out to find two taxis and drove towards the place name reported by Xia Yu.
Although Xia Yu has never been to the UK, he does not lack memories of Britain and London.
So he didn't need to find a guide, he probably knew what to do.
Sitting in the taxi, through the window, Xia Yu observed everything outside the window, looked at the city, and let the memories in his mind continue to deepen and overlap.
"Feng Shui takes turns, there is no eternal overlord in the world, the once empire on which the sun never sets, now it is indeed in decline!"
Looking at the buildings that kept appearing in his field of vision, Xia Yu secretly sighed.
As he said, Britain is indeed in decline, and John Bull, who once dominated the world and was bullish, is now like a dying old man.
But the arrogant John Bull still refused to admit it, still immersed in the glory of the past and refused to wake up, until four years later, Argentina ripped off the last fig leaf of John Bull in the Falklands War, and exposed the weak Britain to the eyes of countries all over the world.
More than 40 years ago, the beard that hung up crossed Europe, defeated the Allies one after another, and the ruthless mustache was even more towards the foundation of Britain, and the Rothschild family, which represented the British capital, was especially targeted by the mustache, and used the means of raiding the family and exterminating the family, which caused Britain to suffer a heavy blow.
Although in the end, because of the intervention of the United States, the German tank did not cross the English Channel and landed on the British Peninsula.
But World War II not only drained the essence of Europe, but also almost drained the blood of John Bull.
In addition, the huge Red Empire never gave up its westward ambitions, which held back the energy of Britain, one of the leading European countries.
So even though it has been more than 40 years since World War II, Britain's economy is still sluggish, and it has fallen to the point of recognizing its former younger brother, the United States, as its big brother.
Feng Shui takes turns!
If nothing else, next year, the famous Iron Lady will rise to the top of British power, and then represent the interests of capital, pull back the curtain on British privatization, and try to make the British economy rise again.
Thinking of the privatization process in the UK, Xia Yu had a lot of memories in his mind, he squinted and combed it, and his heart was full of emotion: "At that time, it will be really a gluttonous feast, if I have enough strength at that time, how can I take a bite hard......"
Just as Xia Yu was thinking, the car stopped at the door of the Hilton London Paddington Hotel.
After paying the money, Xia Yu and his entourage got out of the car, walked into the lobby of the hotel with the respectful welcome of the waiter, and began to check in for accommodation.
This hotel is Xia Yu's choice after consideration, although it is only a 4-star hotel, but after all, it is the standard of Hilton Hotel Group, and the service will not be bad.
And choosing this hotel, Xia Yu also considered other issues.
The London Paddington Hotel is located in the center of London, surrounded by Trafalgar Square, the British Museum, 10 Downing Street, the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, the British National Gallery and other well-known buildings, the farthest will not be more than 10 kilometers by car, and the nearest is only two or three kilometers by car.
After all, it is rare to come to the UK, although the main purpose is to gamble, but betting on football does not take too much time, and it is a pity not to have a good shopping with so much time left.
Soon, the accommodation was handled, Xia Yu and Li Qian lived opposite, Yan Shining and Hou Sheng lived on the left side of Xia Yu, and Li Wuming had a room on the right side of Xia Yu.
After a while, the sun was about to set.
From Xiangjiang to London, England, taking a direct flight by Boeing 747, it also took more than 13 hours, although due to the longitude gap, London slowed Xiangjiang for nearly 7 hours, but after arriving in London, the time was still at four o'clock in the afternoon, and it took more than an hour from the airport to settle down, which was already very fast.
Fortunately, it is now more than June, and the direct point of the sun has moved northward, and it is about to reach the Tropic of Cancer, so at this time, the days and nights in the northern hemisphere are short, and the time left for Xia Yu to move freely is longer.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sun had not completely set, Xia Yu took Yan Shining and Hou Sheng out of the house, came to a newsstand, and directly swept the goods in the surprised eyes of the big-nosed newsstand owner, leaving the big-nosed boss with the money and looking at Xia Yu's figure in a daze.
After a full meal, Xia Yu called Li Qian to her room, gave her a bunch of newspapers in her coquettish eyes, and then said: "Help find news about the Argentina World Cup and betting, and pick out the newspapers." ”
After speaking, Xia Yu lowered his head and threw himself into the search for the great cause.
Watching Xia Yu concentrate on browsing the newspaper, Li Qian, who was a little stunned, came back to her senses, looked at the thick stack of newspapers in her hand, and realized that the boss called her into the room to really do business, which made her so nervous that she was cranky.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her jade hand gently patted her chest, causing the pair of majestic peaks on her chest to tremble.
Thinking that she wanted to be crooked, Li Qian only felt that her cheeks and pink neck were hot, and two blushes appeared on her pretty face, which looked very attractive, and the man would definitely be ready to move when he saw it.
It's a pity that the light in the room is orange at this time, and Xia Yu also lowered his head and was busy, and he didn't notice Li Qian's seductive appearance.
Retracting her thoughts, Li Qian regained her composure, concentrated and began to read the newspaper carefully, helping her boss Xia Yu sift out the information he needed.
For a moment, the room fell silent.
I could hear the sound of two gentle breaths and the sound of paper rubbing against each other as I flipped through the paper.
