"Dear Wu, Lisa and I will be in London for two days, if you need any help, please feel free to come to us, we are very familiar with London. Michelle handed a sticky note paper to Wu Qian's hand, and his eyes were electrified, not hiding his admiration for Wu Qian.

Airlines have strict requirements for the flight time of flight attendants, and it is not possible to fly if you want to, and there are upper and lower limits every month.

Wu Qian smiled and took the sticky note paper and put it in the bag, he was very satisfied with the service of the two, it was simply meticulous and considerate, spending money to buy such a enjoyment, it was very worthwhile, there may be nothing to help in London, but if you have a plane by then, you will give priority to these two when choosing a flight attendant.

At this time, Tian Yewang also returned.

"Angkor, the Corinthia Hotel has sent a bus to wait at the airport, and the van is already in place. "Tian Yewang was in the meeting just now, and at the same time, he also contacted the hotel and the container of the consignment vehicle.

Wu Qian Travel has always stayed in the best hotels in the local area, even when going abroad.

Located in the heart of London, just a stone's throw from the city's main attractions, Corinthia Hotel is one of London's premier five-star luxury hotels.

The plane landed slowly and very smoothly, Wu Qian looked at the night view of London through the porthole, this was the first time he arrived in a foreign country, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

The plane stopped, Wu Qian's luggage was helped by a flight attendant, he walked out of the cabin, took a deep breath, the humid air was very fresh, the era of fog had long passed, and he walked down the boarding stairs.

Knock ~ Knock knock, Woo Woo Woo ~ Woo Woo.

When Wu Qian stepped on the land of Great Britain, a burst of music sounded, because of the perspective, Wu Qian did not realize at first that there was a small band of ten people next to the boarding stairs, and the long cornet and small drum played a brisk welcome music. Not only that, but because the ground was a little wet, a red carpet stretched from the boarding ladder to the front of the bus.

It's like receiving an important guest, and the sense of ceremony is very strong!

Although it was midnight, as one of the top 10 airports in the world, there were still many people waiting in the terminal to board at this time, and some passengers noticed the buses and bands early on, and they couldn't figure out which big man would choose to arrive in London at this time.

When everyone saw a group of Asian faces, they rushed to be surprised. Of course, no one could recognize the appearance of Wu Qian's group, and everyone guessed their identities, but there was almost no reliability.

"This ......" Wu Qian was stunned, the service of the Corinthia Hotel was also in place.

The bandmaver, dressed in a traditional English checkered costume, walked towards Wu Qian, muttering a lot of words.

He said they were a band that James, Jeremy and Hammond had invited to welcome Mr. Wu, and that the three were too old to come to greet Mr. Wu in person. Tian Yewang helped Wu Qian translate.

"This ...... What do you do so grandly. Wu Qian thought that he had spent hundreds of thousands of pounds at the Corinthia Hotel, and the welcome band sent by the hotel was a warm reception for three cheap guests for a long time.

The hundred-person orchestra played a cannon to greet him that was the treatment of state guests, Wu Qian felt that it was quite good for him, an unknown little person, to enjoy such a courtesy, and seeing what this meant, the three really regarded him as a New Year's friend.

The flight attendants of the Qatar flight collectively saw off Wu Qian and his party, and Lisa and Michelle stood in the crowd and waved goodbye to Wu Qian. At midnight in London, Wu Qian's team walked on the red carpet and walked to the hotel with BGM to pick them up.

All the members of the team were very excited, and everyone's eyes swept over Wu Qian's body from time to time, and their eyes were full of admiration. I really couldn't set up the equipment just now, otherwise it would definitely be a good material to shoot. They didn't have the opportunity to shoot, but someone did.

"Angkor, I took a few photos for you and recorded a paragraph, it really has a sense of ceremony, that scene is so exciting!" Sitting on the bus, Tian Ye said, he never thought that he would be welcomed by the band when he went abroad, surprise!

Wu Qian looked at the photo Tian Yewang took for him, he was shaking hands with the band leader, and the band member who was playing the trumpet next to him was playing very hard with his cheeks bulging like a thorn dolphin.

"It's interesting, let's see if these materials can be used later. Wu Qian confessed and tilted his head out of the window. It's about a 50-minute drive from the airport to the Corinthia Hotel, passing by many famous monuments, and Wu Qian plans to enjoy the night view of London.

Along the way, Wu Qian was attracted by various buildings under the illumination of the lights, and could see skyscrapers and old-fashioned buildings of unknown age, and the British atmosphere was very strong. At the same time, Wu Qian found a problem, compared with the roads and streets in the south and north of the capital of the Celestial Empire, the roads and streets in London are intricate, and the twists and turns are not very regular, which is indeed not suitable for driving.

In the evening, the road was sparsely trafficked and clear, and it didn't take 50 minutes, about half an hour, for the bus to stop in front of the Corinthia Hotel.

Wu Qian got out of the car and looked at the hotel in front of him, although it was not very high, but under the lights, the Victorian architecture looked very luxurious, and the traditional charm and fashion atmosphere were perfectly integrated. Like many luxury hotels in Europe, Corinthia doesn't have a glittering entrance, which reminds Wu Qian of Amanyangyun, who can miss the entrance if he's not careful.

More than a dozen neatly dressed greeters stood on both sides of the door with white gloves, and a man with a significantly higher position walked quickly to Wu Qian and shook hands warmly, leading Wu Qian and others into the hotel At the same time, he spoke broken Chinese and introduced the Corinthia Hotel and history to Wu Qian.

The Corinthia Hotel is located on the other side of the River Thames opposite the London Eye, just 100 metres from Charing Cross, the official centre of the City of London.

Many of the city's landmarks are just a stone's throw away, including 10 Downing Street, the Royal Cavalry, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, the Royal Opera House, Trafalgar Square and the River Thames.

This Victorian-style building has been standing in London for over 100 years, and the original hotel dates back to 1885 during the reign of Queen Victoria, originally the famous Grand Metropole. Since 1936, it has been requisitioned as the office building of the British Ministry of Defence, and Prime Minister Winston Churchill was in charge of it during World War II.

In 2007, the building finally fulfilled its mission as a government office and was put up for sale. Corinthia Hotels & Resorts stood out from its competitors and took over the building.

The price of such a luxurious hotel is naturally not low, and the Royal Loft Suite costs more than 22,000 pounds a night. Of course, not everyone stayed in the Royal Loft suite, and everyone except Wu Qian stayed in the cheapest double suite, which cost more than 800 pounds a night.

The entrance is low-key and restrained, but once you enter the hotel lobby, it is completely different, a huge crystal chandelier is dazzling and dreamy.

The hotel manager introduced Wu Qian, saying: "This is the 'Full Moon' full moon crystal lamp, designed by Parisian designer Chafik Gasmi, and made by the French crystal brand Baccarat, with a total of 1,001 crystals. ”

Wu Qian looked at the big chandelier above his head, and words such as magnificence, luxury, and elegance could be attached to it, and he liked it at a glance.

"This kind of design is only interesting if it is unique in the world, and even if you copy it, it doesn't make any sense. Wu Qian wanted to make a copy, but he felt that it didn't mean much, only original artworks were meaningful.

The team members were guided by the welcome guests to check in, and Wu Qian was naturally led by the manager to the suite on the top floor.

"Mr. Wu, the 7 suites on the top floor were designed by GA Design in London, and these 7 loft suites range in size from 100 to 465 square meters, distributed in various corners of the top floor, and face different scenery.

The suites are named: The Actors' Suite, The Writer's Suite, The Hamilton Suite, The Explorer's Suite, The Musician's Suite, The Whitehall Suite, and The Royal Loft Suite. Standing on the terrace of the hotel's Loft Suite, guests can enjoy their own views of London, each with its own character and story.

For example, in the Royal Loft Suite, every piece of marble in the room is the result of a 12-person sourcing team that has spent months scouring the entire Italy, carefully selecting the stones, each of which has its own number on the back. The widest views in London are from your private balcony. ”

The manager introduced as he pushed open the door of the royal suite for Wu Qian.

Wu Qian looked at the living room of the royal loft suite in front of him, a touch of exotic style came to his face, and the realism of being in it was by no means comparable to imitation, and all the decorations were so natural.

Although the area is not particularly large, the various furnishings in the interior are arranged very properly, it looks messy but does not feel in the way, and the large sofa placed at a crooked angle seems to be deliberate, and the angle is just facing the window.

The British don't understand the feng shui of the Celestial Empire, but they have their own methods for studying how to be comfortable.

"Mr. Wu, looking out from this window, you can see the London Eye Ferris wheel and the River Thames, and you can see Big Ben from here......"

Wu Qian nodded and waved his hand to signal that the manager could go out, he really wanted to quietly feel the charm of this royal suite now, and he didn't want anyone to buzz in his ears.

The manager bent down and saluted very wisely, and said: "All the items provided in the Royal Loft Suite are free of charge, Mr. Wu, please enjoy it, I wish you a pleasant night, if you need to contact the hotel front desk at any time, there is a special butler for you 24 hours a day." ”

After speaking, the manager looked at the back of Wu Qian's head and nodded slightly, he exited the door and gently closed the door. Corinthia's top suites naturally offer butler service, but in a slightly different format.

Wu Qian walked to the fireplace in the living room and squatted down to take a look, perhaps influenced by British and American dramas, he liked the design of the fireplace very much. I often fantasize about the snow outside, the fire in the fireplace inside, and the warmth in the house.

Wu Qian found that although the fireplace was real, if it was to be used, it was not firewood used to make a fire, but there were many small fire-breathing eyes, which were probably natural gas or gas to generate the fire source.

"It's a pity, if it's winter, you can experience it. Wu Qian stood up, a little regretful. It is not necessary to turn on the air conditioner in this weather, but it is also impossible to turn on the fireplace.

The dark maroon flannel curtains were very heavy, Wu Qian wiped them with his hands, there was no dust and cleaned them cleanly, he stood by the window and pushed open the three-layer thick soundproof glass window, and took a breath of moist air. Compared to the capital of the Celestial Empire, the climate in London is somewhat humid.

Wu Qian leaned on the windowsill and looked at the London Eye Ferris wheel in the distance.

The London Eye was inaugurated in 2000, so it is also known as the "Millennium Wheel". The 135-metre-tall London Eye Ferris wheel was the largest in the world when it was built, but it has been overtaken by many of its successors over the years. But even so, it doesn't diminish its style.

The 1,600-tonne London Eye stands firmly on the surface of the River Thames, and at night it is lit up into a huge blue halo, rendering the River Thames very dreamy. In addition to viewing and riding, the London Eye was also lit up for the 2015 UK general election, with red lights for the British Labour Party, blue for the Conservative Party, purple for the British Independence Party, and yellow for the Liberal Democratic Party.

Wu Qian watched quietly for a while, sleepiness swept over, he found that it was really the best to arrive at the destination at night, he didn't sleep well on the plane, and now he made up for sleep just to adjust the jet lag, and the arrangement was very proper.

"Sleep, tomorrow will officially start the European tour!" With that, Wu Qian closed the window, instantly feeling isolated from the outside world, extremely quiet, and then he walked towards the bedroom.

On the first night of his arrival in a foreign country, Wu Qian didn't sleep very well, although the bedding was very comfortable, but it took a process to adjust the jet lag, the biological clock was not so easy to change, and the time he fell on the bed was exactly 8 o'clock in the Celestial Empire, and he would have woken up at this time.

At 6:23 a.m. London time the next day, Wu Qian sat up in bed.

"I slept on the plane for more than 4 hours and 5 hours, and here it was another 4 or 5 hours, almost. Wake up ......"

Wu Qian got up from the bed, walked to the old-fashioned gramophone-like player in the corner of the living room, picked a piece of vinyl and put it on the player, and then gently put the tonearm on the vinyl, the vinyl slowly turned, first a noisy sound sounded, and then soothing music slowly sounded.

"The sound quality is average, so let's make do with it. Wu Qian complained. If the hotel manager hears this, he can only be silent.

Ears accustomed to listening to FM AcoustiCS audio, it is definitely very tricky, in fact, the level of the player provided by the Corinthia Hotel is not low, the price of nearly 30,000 pounds is no longer ordinary people can have, but Wu Qian's requirements are too high.

Wu Qian closed the curtains, walked to the bathroom barely, soaked in the bathtub and took a comfortable bath, the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on his face through the gaps in the white blinds next to the bathtub. After taking a shower, Wu Qian called and ordered a pure English breakfast.

Two very tender fried eggs, five slices of delicate lamb bacon, three slices of silked bread with three smoked sausages and a small can of cheese, accompanied by a glass of pure milk with no additives and less than 3 hours of production.

For guests of the Royal Loft Suite, this breakfast is provided free of charge, and if you spend money on it, it will cost you £80, or nearly 700 soft girls.

As the morning sun shines, the weather today is clearly better than yesterday. Wu Qian sat on the spacious terrace for breakfast, with a chess set beside him, but it was a bit exaggerated, and each piece was a meter high.

Wu Qian stood next to the chess with a plate and looked at it, he still had no problem with the Celestial Empire chess, but he really didn't understand the chess, and he could only see that this was an endgame and walked more than ten steps.

If he couldn't understand it, he simply didn't look at it, Wu Qian leaned on the concrete guardrail that was high on his chest and looked into the distance.

The morning sun shines on the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. The 273-metre-long main façade of the Houses of Parliament unfolds along the River Thames, bathing the entire building in the morning light, with the warm golden yellow reflecting the clear blue sky.

Big Ben stands quietly, the bell tower was built in 1859 and is 96 meters high. The tower houses a large clock weighing more than 13 tons, and on each side of the bell tower is a gold-plated dial with a diameter of 7 meters, the length of the hour and minute hands is 2.75 meters and 4.27 meters, respectively, and the pendulum alone weighs 305 kilograms.

There are countless public chiming clocks and countless clock towers around the world, but London's Big Ben is definitely one of the most famous. Big Ben is arguably an icon of London and even one of the most iconic buildings of the British Empire.

In fact, Big Ben has been renamed "Elizabeth Tower" in 2012.

Today's Elizabeth Tower does not have a bell chiming function, which makes Wu Qian feel a little disappointed, because on August 14, 2017, the House of Commons of the British Parliament decided to repair the Elizabeth Tower, which will take up to 4 years, and it is expected that the Elizabeth Tower will not ring again until 2021.

After breakfast, Wu Qian stood on the edge of the terrace overlooking Whitehall Street in London, it was already more than 7 o'clock at the moment, and many pedestrians could be vaguely seen strolling on the street, it should be local office workers, but it didn't look like a hurry.

The Westminster Bridge in the distance crosses the River Thames, which is the place where Kudo Shinichi confesses to the heroine Mao Lilan in Aoyama's famous manga "Detective Conan", and the real scene is somewhat similar to the manga.

Wu Qian enjoyed the beautiful scenery for a while, he made a call to Tian Yewang, and asked him to inform the team members, today to arrange the shooting related equipment, including helicopter laser gun equipment, etc., tomorrow to start shooting, Silverstone Circuit has been wrapped by him in the next few days.

Originally, he wanted to invite the "three" to have a meal together to express his gratitude, but he was not busy understanding anything now, so he called the hotel front desk and asked him to arrange a translator and driver, and the first stop was to solve the problem of the driver's bodyguard and the vehicle.

About three minutes later, the suite's doorbell rang, and the sound of the jingle bell was much like that of a monastery.

"Mr. Wu, you can call me Connor, it's an honor to serve you today. "Connor was dressed in a black suit, about 175 and about 35 years old, with a very well-trimmed beard.

Wu Qian let Connor in the door and said, "I plan to hire a driver's bodyguard to buy a car by the way, do you have any good suggestions?"

Connor stood gracefully by the door, thought for a moment, and said, "I wonder what your budget is for security?"

"Tell me what to say about it. Wu Qian motioned for Connor to sit, and he sat down on the large sofa in the main seat.

Connor had some doubts about Wu Qian's search for bodyguards, because almost all of the people who came to the Corinthia Hotel to stay in the royal suite were hugging each other, and not long ago, the Trump family was still staying here, and the scene was quite spectacular, with clusters of people in black.

Of course, Connor didn't ask the doubts in his mind, he only had to answer the question: "I can give you a little advice in this regard, first of all, if you are going to hire bodyguards, I recommend considering at least a team of 3-4 bodyguards. If you only hire one bodyguard driver, it is difficult to take care of everything. ”

Wu Qian didn't take it seriously, and felt that it was quite safe to have one or two black-clothed men by his side, why did the other party say 3-4 people as soon as he came up, or at least, it was a bit like selling goods.

"Anyway, doesn't it make me a more obvious target to have so many people follow?" Wu Qian asked.

Connor smiled and said: "Mr. Wu, Mr. Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, there was a time when the number of bodyguards announced by the media reached 16, I don't know if there are any in secret." Each bodyguard is skilled in different areas, such as melee combat, shooting, explosive ordnance disposal, blocking attacks, and more.

Speaking of driver bodyguards, each driver bodyguard has its own characteristics in terms of driving style, some are good at city express shuttles, some are good at smooth driving, and some even specialize in special terrain service driver bodyguards......"

Wu Qian listened carefully, Connor said slowly, this field is something he has never been in contact with, but he feels that sooner or later there will be a need, his scope of activities cannot be in the Celestial Empire for a long time, Europe, America and Australia and other places will definitely get involved, it is very necessary to establish a perfect security system for himself.

Through chatting, he learned that those top celebrities in the world spend a lot of money on security every year, just like there are public records in the world, and Zuckerberg spends the most on security, in 2017, he spent 7.3 million dollars in this area, nearly 50 million soft girl coins.

There are also Apple's CEO Tim Cook, about 200,000 dollars a year, IBM CEO Ms. Luo Ruilan, about 620,000 dollars a year, and Warren Buffett's annual security expenses are nearly 400,000 dollars.

"The world doesn't look so peaceful. Wu Qian couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, as his steps got bigger and bigger, he would definitely be noticed by some opponents or people with ulterior motives in the future, so he really had to be careful.

"Connor, I don't have a very specific concept. Is there a suitable security company to recommend?" Wu Qian asked.

"London is where G4S is headquartered, and if I had to recommend it, G4S would certainly be the G4S, but Sweden's Sekolida could also be included. Connor may have felt that just selling his own country's company was not very authentic, and he brought in the world's No. 2 Sekolida.

Wu Qian saw Connor's thoughts, and didn't say anything, people do have confidence, the title of the world's number one is really not covered, if it is not recommended, it is really boring. If it were Wu Qian himself, he would definitely recommend the most awesome company in his country.

"Let's go, go over and have a look. Wu Qian got up and said.

The Corinthia Hotel prepared a Rolls-Royce Phantom for Wu Qian, and Connor, as the driver, drove Wu Qian towards the G4S headquarters in London.

Britain is driving on the left, Wu Qian sat in the boss seat behind the co-pilot's seat, adjusted the co-pilot's seat to the most forward position, leisurely and leisurely will cross Erlang's legs, although his Cullinan is spacious, but after all, the positioning is different from the phantom, and the horizontal space in the back row is really not so spacious.

"How much does it cost to buy a Phantom in the UK?" Wu Qian asked, sitting in the back seat.

Connor thought for a moment and said, "Generally speaking, it is 500,000-700,000 pounds, which is about more than 4 million in your national currency, and it is not necessary to install more customization." ”

"Forget it, go to the country where the pedestrian is on the right and buy a car. Rent a car in the UK and pull it down. Wu Qian muttered.

In fact, the price does not matter to Wu Qian, anyway, if it is transported back to China, it will still have to pay taxes, mainly to change the right drive to the left drive car, which is very troublesome, so it is better not to.

Wu Qian and Connor were chatting for a while, and slowly the phantom had already walked out of the city and was heading towards the green suburbs.

"G4S's headquarters is not in the city?" Wu Qian asked curiously, in his imagination, the kind of large company that is second to none in a certain field should be very magnificent, even if it is an entire building.

"Mr. Wu, of course the headquarters is in the city, and the optional bodyguards are not in the headquarters, I took you to a secret place. Connor replied with a smile, a mysterious smile on his face. As he spoke, Connor drove toward a secluded boulevard.

The road is very spacious, and the trees on both sides are very neat, far more neat than the municipal plan of the city, and it should be privately owned, with a gardener in charge of daily care. After a while, the phantom drove out of the boulevard, and after turning a corner, a medieval castle suddenly appeared in front of Wu Qian.

"Good fellow!" Wu Qian stood beside the car, looking at the fairytale battlements, arrow cracks, bulwarks and moats, like a formidable image of a medieval fortress, some of the scars may have been deliberately unrepaired, showing the glorious battles that this castle once experienced.

It is impossible to see how big this castle is from the front, it is about 150-200 meters wide horizontally, and it is impossible to consider how much depth it has, it is definitely a very large castle, which reminds Wu Qian of some pictures in "Game of Thrones".

The place where the phantom parked is by the moat outside the castle, and to enter the castle, you need to enter a wooden suspension bridge, which is said to be a wooden suspension bridge but it is very stable, Wu Qian judged that this wooden suspension bridge is a virtual appearance, and the inside should be a concrete structure.

When I entered the castle, I immediately changed the scene, and the decoration was very elegant. From yesterday to today, Wu Qian found that London is full of the combination of classical and modern, perhaps after a long period of slow evolution, and now it does not feel abrupt, and the integration is very natural.

The person in charge of the reception was a very capable lady, not proficient in Chinese, and after Connor said a few words to the reception, the receptionist nodded very politely towards Wu Qian, said a word of invitation in English, signaled Wu Qian to sit down and wait, and then she walked towards the passage next to the reception room.

After a while, an Asian man came from the aisle, wearing a suit and leather shoes, about 170 tall, although not very tall, but very tall, with a faint smile on his face.

"Hello Mr. Wu, I'm Joe at your service. My old friend, Connor, long time no see, what do you two need to drink?" the Asian man didn't start talking about business.

"Wu, I suggest you try their private St. Helena Island coffee, the floral aroma and citrus finish are very special. Coffee was Napoleon's favorite when he was exiled to St. Helena's Island. Connor seemed to understand the truth very well, and took the initiative to introduce Wu Qian, while also handing Joe a very sloppy smile.

Joe shook his head and laughed, and pointed at Connor, which means that you're going to cheat me on my good stuff. Joe then instructed the waiter to serve coffee.

The etiquette is over, and the business begins.

"Mr. Wu, what is your specific need for bodyguards?" Qiao did not lead Wu to another room, because this is the reception room, and Wu Qian's business will not be disturbed by the next guest until the business is finished.

Wu Qian had an understanding of this aspect, but he felt that his knowledge might be too shallow, so he asked: "I don't know much, please introduce it." ”

With Qiao's introduction, Wu Qian knew that his original cognition was indeed very shallow, and in terms of security, it was now a very mature industrial chain, but because of the good environment of the Celestial Empire, this industrial chain was a little backward.

There are various types of bodyguards, which are roughly divided into celebrities, dignitaries, drivers, assistants, housekeepers, and escorts. Each type of bodyguard has different responsibilities, but they all have one thing in common, which is to protect the safety of employers or goods.

Wu Qian thought for a while and said, "What is the assistant bodyguard you are responsible for?" There is no handy person by his side to be dispatched, Wu Qian feels the need to arrange an assistant for himself, and the general manager of the company is always used as a secretary, which is too wasteful of talents.

Qiao said: "This kind of bodyguard has a long-term personal service, providing security services and additional services at the same time, and often appears as assistants and secretaries. Assistant bodyguards have very high cultural requirements, and have a certain level of foreign language, handling of corporate affairs, communication and coordination, and law.

They will also be proficient in certain aspects of life and entertainment, such as horseback riding, golf, or clothing or cooking. ”

"Well, this type is good, you have to pick one. ”

Wu Qian felt good when he heard it, if he found an assistant bodyguard, he wouldn't have to trouble Yao Xinlu to come to Zhang Luo in the future, and he might be able to provide some good advice when he usually played.

When Qiao heard Wu Qian's words, he immediately sat down behind the computer and clicked the mouse.

"Then there will be one driver, and then two full-time safety. Wu Qiandao.

"Mr. Wu, what level of bodyguard do you want to hire?" Qiao asked.

"The highest level, the best. Wu Qian said without hesitation, if you want to be the top in the industry.

"What about gender and nationality, appearance and skin color, and language requirements?" said Joe, holding the mouse's hand.
