0283 A ruthless character who dares to be tough with the royal family
Along the way, Wu Qian found that the decoration style of Harrods Department Store was not completely unified, some exhibition halls were designed with Egyptian palaces, which were full of mystery, and some were designed with palaces in the sea, which were simple and bright like spring gardens, and some places used very heavy color styles, which were extremely calm and restrained.
The transition of the decoration style is smooth and unobtrusive, and in order to create such an excellent visual effect, it is impossible to estimate how many brain cells the designer has consumed.
Finally, Wu Qian and his party came to the Harold Tea Room on the fourth floor.
There are not many people in the Harrods Tea Room, and unlike other dining models, tea drinking is a slow way to eat, and tourists often choose to come here to drink tea because of their tight schedules.
Wu Qian and Wang Chenchen sat opposite each other, with two saucers, teacups, and desserts so delicate that people couldn't bear to swallow on the delicate small coffee table in front of them, and Bauer and David opened another table not far away.
Wu Qian leaned on the comfortable sofa and crossed Erlang's legs, looking at the endless stream of customers in the mall through the window lattice, thinking thoughtfully.
The special welcome, the luxurious decoration style, and the shopping guide service staff who are not alarmed at any shelf, etc., subvert Wu Qian's inherent perception of the shopping mall.
"It's just a department store...... As for it?"
Wu Qian doesn't remember repeating this sentence in his heart for the first time, and Harold's philosophy once again validates one of Wu Qian's own principles, when one thing is done to the extreme, all fame and fortune will come uninvited.
Wang Chenchen saw that Wu Qian didn't speak, and looked at the beauties of various countries outside the window, of course, looking at the beauties was her guess. Wang Chenchen felt that it was not okay to go on like this, if she didn't say anything, then she would not be able to do her job, so he said: "Wu Qian, what information do you want to know about Harold, I will tell you." ”
Wu Qian naturally didn't know that his image had become a playboy in Wang Chenchen's eyes, and after his thoughts were pulled back by Wang Chenchen, he said: "How do you usually introduce other tourists, just tell me about it." ”
Wang Chenchen tilted her head and thought about it, she felt that she couldn't be too formulaic, and if she served this big guy well, she might be able to get a lot of tips.
Wang Chenchen did not tell Wu Qian some clichés that he usually said, but picked up more special events and said.
For example, the most expensive item sold by Harrods to date is a yacht, the luxury yacht called "Project Mars", which was built by Fincantieri Yachts and H2 Yacht Design at a cost of $165 million.
As for the price, Wang Chenchen did not understand.
Harrods, for example, is a place of mourning for Diana Francis Spencer's admirers.
After Princess Diana and her last lover, Harrods heir Dodi Fayyad, died together in a car accident in France, two monuments were erected in the mall to commemorate the couple, as Dodi Fayyad was the owner of Harrods for a time.
The first monument features photographs of the two men, a wine glass with Princess Diana's lip print, and an engagement ring that Dodi Fayyad purchased the day before his death.
The second monument is a bronze statue next to an Egyptian-style escalator next to the mall's third door, crafted by engraver Bill Mitchell, who worked as a Harrods art and design consultant for more than 40 years.
When Wang Chenchen finished talking about this, Wu Qian was shocked in his heart, and he asked, "Diana is the princess!
"Isn't it just dead...... Wang Chenchen sighed in his heart, and then smiled with embarrassment and politeness on his face, and said: "Before Wu, Princess Diana broke off her marriage contract with Prince Charles in 1996, but retained the title of 'Your Highness', and the matter between her and Dodi Fayyad was after that. ”
Wan Chenchen still understands Wu Qian's loneliness in her heart, she guesses that Wu Qian should have just been born in that era, of course, she is too, but she has the heart to pay attention to these things, so she naturally understands them very clearly.
"But even so, according to the situation you said, if you dare to set up a monument here, can the royal family agree?"
This is a ruthless appearance that dares to be tough with the royal family!
Wu Qian felt that it was incredible, this was a big matter of face, and for some families and characters, face and reputation were above all else.
Wang Chenchen spread his hands, shook his head and said, "Then I don't know the specific situation, anyway, the statue has always existed, and there are no problems......
"Okay. Wu Qian had a strange expression on his face, judging from the ideological education he had received and the living environment he had received, these things were simply fantastic.
Wang Chenchen was interrupted by Wu Qianyi, and was a little speechless in an instant, she thought about it, took out a notebook from her satchel with a smile, pointed to the cartoon character on the notebook and asked, "Wu Qian, do you know this cartoon bear?"
Wu Qian looked at Wang Chenchen a little speechlessly, and said in his heart, this is too contemptuous of people, I don't know that Princess Diana dissolves the marriage contract is one thing, but he still knows Winnie the Pooh who is holding a honeypot.
"Hey, hey. Wang Chenchen knew through Wu Qian's expression that the other party should know each other, so he said: "I know that you must know Winnie the Pooh, so do you know how Winnie the Pooh came from?"
"Painting......" Wu Qian didn't know how to answer this kind of question, and felt a little nonsensical.
"It's Alain M. A. Milne, and Alain Milne. A. Milne's inspiration for Winnie the Pooh came from Harrods......"
In 1921, Alain While shopping at Harold, A. Milne found a stuffed teddy bear in a toy store and bought it as a gift for his son's first birthday.
Later, in 1924, Alain Brown was a member of the Brown. A. Milne's son became good friends with Winnie the Black Bear at the zoo. A. Milne was inspired to create a series of storybooks based on the stuffed teddy bear he gave to his son at the time.
Later, Disney was authorized in 1961, and a classic cartoon character became known to the world.
Wu Qian listened to Wang Chenchen talk about these interesting things like listening to a story, there have been too many interesting things in a department store for nearly two hundred years. Wang Chenchen is also very willing to speak, if she just talks about this, she can talk for several days and earn a lot of extra money......
By chatting with Wang Chenchen, Wu Qian learned that Harrods Department Store is really a department store and can buy everything.
Former U.S. President Ronald Reagan received an elephant as a gift when he was governor of California, a deal that Harold undertook, as did an Augusta A109 helicopter purchased by a British businessman as a gift to his wife, and he could also spend 250,000 pounds to customize his own wax figure, made by Madame Tussauds......
There doesn't seem to be a deal that Harrods can't make.
