Harvey's main store in London is not far from Harrods, also in Knightsbridge, but it is not a rival to Harrods at all, and must rely on more than a dozen branches and online sales around the world to surpass Harrods in turnover.

Selfridge's situation is slightly worse than Harvey's.

Latecomers want to surpass the pioneers, and sometimes it doesn't mean that they just have to work hard, because the pioneers are also trying to move forward. Unless the pioneers give up and die on their own, the latecomers may never have a chance to surpass them, and may be thrown farther and farther away.

For example, Patek Philippe in watches, unless the factory closes its doors or deliberately reduces the quality to create junk products, other watch brands really can't catch up, for decades, for hundreds of years......

Wu Qian's eyes returned to focus and looked at Hammercar, and he was just about to open his mouth to shout the price, when Choi Jae-in was mothed again.

"Hammercar, the NPS fund has been added to 3.6 billion pounds, which is the limit price for our side. Wu, even if you have 1 extra penny, I won't add more!" Choi Jae-in's face was very solemn, and it seemed that he had made the final decision.

The penny is the smallest unit of British currency, equivalent to the Celestial Empire's cents.

In a short period of time, Choi Jae-in thought a lot, if it really doesn't work, then it's better to retreat, the company standing behind Wu Qian makes him unpredictable, and he has a very chicken thief idea.

Choi Jae-in felt that handing over London's No. 1 department store to a Celestial Empire company might start to decline, and if Harrods went downhill, then the other department stores that followed closely behind would have a chance to surpass it.

If Wu Qian accepts a bid price of 3.6 billion pounds to win Harrods, then he proposes that the core of NPS buy Selfridges, which is not far from Harrods, and spend more money on subsequent development.

In 5-10 years, we will strive to surpass Harrods in all aspects and become the first department store in London, so that the value of the industry will be immeasurable.

Cui Jae-in's abacus is very strange, if his idea wants to succeed, it must be based on the failure of the other party, and he looks down on the management ability and foresight of the investors of the Celestial Empire from the bottom of his heart.

Taking 10,000 steps back, Cui Zairen feels that even if the goal cannot be achieved by then, the NPS fund will not bear the loss, but just make less money, which belongs to the practice of turning a bicycle into a motorcycle.

Choi Jae-in thought well, but he still missed a possibility, he didn't think about what the outcome would be if the opponent didn't play according to the routine, and experience sometimes deceived those who believed in him.

......

The results of Harrods' bid speak for themselves, Wu Qian successfully won this incomparably high-quality property at a strange price of 3.6 billion pounds and 1 pence, although with the increase in price, the potential has decreased, but the development prospects are still good.

Wu Qian didn't know what Cui Zairen was thinking, he was quite satisfied with winning Harrods Department Store at this price, for him, spending an extra 3-400 million pounds was nothing more than a matter of two years later to return to the capital, and he was not in a hurry to use the money, which was completely acceptable.

Money is only valuable if it is used to invest and become assets, otherwise it will always be a string of numbers in the bank, and it will not have much practical significance.

Leave some money in your hands to have fun, prepare a good amount of liquidity, and invest the rest of the rest, this is a qualified rich person.

When the NPS Foundation's bidding team left, Choi Jae-in hugged Wu Qian very warmly, expressed his "heartfelt" congratulations to Happy Source Investment Company, and said a lot of good things for Bangziguo's brand in Harrods Department Store, and implored Wu Qian to give some care in the future.

From the standpoint of a friend or "his own person", Choi Jae-in is a very good partner, but as a competitor, he is a guy who needs to be cautious at all times.

Wu Qian was extremely annoyed with Choi Jae-in's smiling tiger style, in comparison, Wu Qian felt that Rapo Elkan's careful thinking was nothing, because a person like Choi Jae-in, you don't know when he will stab you in the back.

The rest of the matter is simple and clear, Qatar Holding Group had the idea of selling Harrods Department Store as early as the beginning of the year, and a very complete accounting statement has been prepared early in the morning, and it only needs to be verified and the legal process is gone, the funds are posted, and the whole transaction is completed.

Wu Qian received a call from the demon and Chase, such a huge transfer could not be successful without the authorization of the bank, watching his funds shrink, Wu Qian actually had an indescribable sense of satisfaction, and couldn't figure out what this emotion was about.

Of course, Wu Qian only transferred 3.6 billion pounds to the other party through the magic and the big transfer, and as for the extra 1 penny, Wu Qian was really embarrassed to leave the bank, and finally a business consultant in the entourage found a 1 penny coin from the corner of his wallet......

For this reason, Wu Qian also specially gave the business consultant 50 pounds, in case the other party asked for a stake in Harrods Department Store on the grounds of 1 pence, it would be very disgusting.

The deal was reached, and in the London branch of Qatar Holding Group, Wu Qian and Hammerkar shook hands and took pictures, and the new and old owners of Harrods Department Store were very low-key, and did not invite the media to hold a press conference.

If the outside world is not a person with a heart, I am afraid that there will be a long time without knowing that the first department store in the United Kingdom has changed hands, in fact, this kind of thing is not surprising, I am afraid that there are still many Europeans who think that Harrods is still the property of Dodi Fayyad.

"Wu, I don't know where the London headquarters of the 'Happy Source Investment Company' is, I have time to sit with you. Hammahkar said with a smile, compared to Cui Zairen, he prefers Wu Qian, a young man from the Celestial Empire, straightforward and happy, and should be a good playmate when he is not doing business.

The top rich are also people, and if they are people, they can't do without eating, drinking and having fun, but the circles are different, and the top rich people are worse than ordinary people in some aspects, because it is difficult to make good friends.

Wu Qian laughed and said without hesitation: "I casually found an office building and rented an office registered company, which is not as big as the conference room you have here, but there is no way to entertain you well, haha." ”

That office is purely for the purpose of registering a company, not to mention receiving guests, even if there are many people working in the office, it is very difficult.

Hearing Wu Qian talk about this matter, the accompanying legal and business consultant felt very strange, the object he served was really informal......

Hammercar was slightly stunned, with a stunned look on his face that could not be concealed, and said secretly.

"The rich people of the Celestial Empire are really low-key, not at all like those guys in our Middle East, one by one, I wish the whole world knew that they were rich, and it was worth learning from other people's style. ”
