After knowing enough interesting things, Wu Qianxin said that it was time to ask some serious questions, so he said: "Wang Chenchen, do you know how much money Harrods Department Store can make every year, and what is the turnover and net profit?"

"Hmm!" Wang Chenchen nodded and said, "Of course I know, hehe, these messages are very transparent." In 2016, Harrods' turnover was £1.4 billion, which grew to £2.1 billion in 2018. ”

"However, in order to better serve customers, maintenance expenses and labor costs are also increasing year by year, in general, the growth rate of net profit is slightly lower than the growth rate of turnover, but it is still very optimistic, the net profit after tax in 2018 seems to be 220 million pounds, yes, I remember this number, or 218 million pounds, anyway, about the same. ”

Wang Chenchen couldn't remember it clearly, but at that level of unit, the second decimal place was not too important.

Wu Qian frowned slightly and looked at Wang Chenchen, there is nothing to fake this kind of news, the annual financial reports of large companies will indeed be made public. The news may be true, but he couldn't believe it was true......

Wu Qian raised his hand to interrupt Wang Chenchen's words, he took out his mobile phone and checked the information, there was no intuitive feeling without comparison, he needed to refer to the situation of the high-end shopping malls and department stores in the Heavenly Empire.

There are a lot of data of this type on the network, and Wu Qian easily inquired that the shopping mall with the largest turnover in the Celestial Empire is SKP Department Store in Beijing, with a turnover of 13.5 billion soft sister coins in 2018, and a net profit of 480 million soft girl coins, about 56 million pounds.

Compared with the two, Wu Qian made a quick decision in his heart, if you don't buy a high-quality industry like Harrods Department Store, what else to buy, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, stood up and said: "Wang Chenchen, thank you for the introduction, I'm leaving." ”

Through his own observation and Wang Chenchen's introduction, Wu Qian felt that there was nothing to investigate, and what he needed to do now was to immediately contact Qatar Holding Group to participate in tomorrow's bidding.

"Ah?!" Wang Chenchen's lips opened slightly, and she let out a depressed "ah", how long has it been, it has not been an hour since she was full, and she felt so sorry that she earned 8 pounds.

"Wu Qian, you have a driver to help you drive, do you want to go to the lounge on the first floor of the basement, Harrods's lounge is very good, there is a wine tasting area, wine tasting machine, wine cellar and bar tasting and so on. Wang Chenchen wanted to keep Wu Qian and play for a while.

Harrods' Lounge is indeed very famous, with countless excellent wines and a variety of services.

For example, in the smelling wine area, each small bottle has a number, and customers can first open a smell and smell what the raw materials are, and then select the corresponding number to check it, which is interesting and stylish. Wine tastings are also very cheap, costing only a few pounds to taste a glass of high-priced wine, and Harold is not stingy in this regard.

How could Wu Qian not see Wang Chenchen's careful thoughts, but he did not have the slightest disgust with Wang Chenchen's behavior, and it was understandable that the other party was earning remuneration for his hard work, and it was very worthy of encouragement.

"Thank you today, I still have something to do, so I won't go. After that, Wu Qian turned to Kukes, who had already appeared behind him, and said, "You have enough cash on you, right? Pay 1,000 yuan to this young lady." ”

Although Wang Chenchen had a smile on her face, there was a little loss in her eyes that she couldn't hide, but when she heard Wu Qian's words, her heart beat vigorously, she waved her hand again and again, and said, "No, don't be so polite, 1,000 yuan is too much, or ...... I'll just take 500. ”

"Haha......" Wu Qian laughed, and walked towards the door of the tea room, Wang Chenchen, the little girl, gave him a very good impression, although he loves money, he takes it in a good way.

Cooks took out 20 50-pound bills from his wallet, placed them on the small coffee table, and said, "Please don't refuse." ”

The maximum face value of the pound is 50, not 100, and 50 pounds is the least favorite unit of currency for ordinary people, and it is infamous as "the currency of the corrupt elite, all kinds of criminals and tax evaders", but it still looks so delicious.

Wang Chenchen looked at the small stack of banknotes on the coffee table in a daze, his heart was entangled for a while, he picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote down his phone number, and then stuffed the money into his bag and chased it out.

Wang Chenchen handed the note with the phone number to Wu Qianqian, and ran away as soon as she slipped away, she didn't know why she did this, and she didn't know what the picture was, anyway, she hoped that Wu Qian could leave her contact information.

Wu Qian looked at the note in his hand and smiled, and then entered it into his mobile phone, it is not bad to know more people.

"BOSS, this is my private money......" Cooks leaned into Wu's ear and said.

Wu Qian put away his mobile phone, punched Cooks, and said, "Look at your stingy look, you see, David is laughing at you." Write it down, go back and make it up to you, haha......"

In the process of going downstairs, Wu Qian once again took a good look at the situation inside the Harrods Department Store, although there are many tourists, but there are also many customers, and occasionally there will be some small frictions and disputes, but the service staff can deal with it quickly and will not let the situation develop.

"It's a top luxury department store in the world, and the staff training is very good...... Cooks, help me contact Westman, say there's business to do, and ask him to come to Partridge Manor to find me. ”

Hurry up, Qatar Holding Group will hold a bidding meeting tomorrow, but fortunately, Barbara's news came in time.

In 2010, Qatar Holding Group spent 1.5 billion pounds to buy Harrods from Fayyad's family trust.

Qatar Holding Group is a state-owned sovereign wealth foundation, the scale of which is among the best in the world, and there are countless industries invested in countries around the world.

It has also invested in Turkey's largest poultry producer, Russia's largest oil company, Hollywood Films, the Empire State Building in New York, residential properties in London, Italian fashion brands, Paris Saint-Germain football club, German automobile manufacturing, 20% stake in Heathrow Airport, etc.

Qatar Holding Group has invested more than 300 billion dollars in the world, and it is suddenly a capital behemoth, the real owner behind many famous enterprises.

The behemoth is true, but with some changes in international relations over the years, as well as the declining domestic energy in Qatar, Qatar Holding Group has begun to slow down the pace of investment, and will sell a certain property in due course, and then invest in new areas, a new round of capital operation, in order to maintain a high growth rate.
