1434, Paris Day Tour 2
If you want to choose the most famous, fashionable, and well-known street in the world, and people, especially women, like to go out and vote for the world, there is no doubt that there is only one, and that is the Champs-Élysées in France, referred to as the Champs Elysées.
The world-famous Rue de la Incense is located in the most prosperous city center of Paris, with a total length of 1,800 meters and a maximum width of about 120 meters, with ten lanes in both directions, from the Place de la Concorde in the east to the Place de la Charles de Gaulle (also known as the Place de la Etoile) in the west. The eastern section of Xiang Street is dominated by natural scenery, flanked by flat English lawns, green grass, quiet and tranquil, and the western section is a high-end business district, Hermes (Hermes), LV (Louis Vuitton), Dior (Dior), Chanel (Chanel) ...... Countless world-class brands, clothing stores, and perfume stores are concentrated here, and the air of the whole street is filled with a refreshing, strong or light perfume smell, in this sense, it is said that it is a fragrant street, but it is also worthy of its name.
Therefore, Xiang Street also has a title, known as "the most beautiful street in the world". Every year on July 14th, the French National Day parade is also held on this avenue.
Many world classics about the 18th and 19th centuries, such as Alexandre Dumas's The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas's La Traviata, Balzac's The Old Man, and other world classics, have described the prosperity of the Champs-Élysées in detail, and the Champs-Élysées has also become an entertainment paradise for the aristocracy and the emerging bourgeoisie in literary works.
When Wang Bo and Ning Qian, who had eaten lunch, strolled all the way to Xiang Street, Wang Bo obviously found that the girl next to him suddenly became energetic, at least more energetic than when he visited the Eiffel Tower and the Place de la Concorde just now.
"It seems that shopping is an eternal oil puzzle for women!" Wang Bo sighed in his heart.
The two walked through the opening of the Arc de Triomphe and began to stroll along the road on both sides of Xiang Street. As spacious as Chang'an Avenue, the two-way ten-lane main street, the two sides of the main street are tall and erect, and the French plane trees dyed golden by autumn colors extend infinitely into the distance like two pacesetters, at least five lanes wide sidewalk, and half of the sidewalk is occupied by the open-air tables placed in cafes along the street, the central traffic, the flow of people on the sidewalk and all kinds of diners sitting at the table resting and chatting and basking in the sun together form a lively and harmonious picture.
After walking for a while, Wang Bo saw a big signboard in front of him with two bronzing letters "L" and "V" crossed together, so he raised his hand and pointed at Ning Qian next to him and said:
"Ning Qian, the one in front is said to be the global headquarters of LV, let's go and see it. ”
"Okay!" Ning Qian's eyes lit up. The last time she and her colleagues went to the Champs-Élysées, she also visited here, but unfortunately she could only look at it, and she didn't dare to buy it, and the cheapest bag in it cost more than 8,000, which was close to her salary for a month and a half.
The two walked into LV's world headquarters.
In my last life, Wang Bo also came here once in 07, when he was accompanying the boss, at that time, looking at the entire golden store, almost half of the entire golden store was Asian faces, especially Mandarin-speaking Chinese. In the face of bags of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, many Chinese tyrants do not buy one by one, but several by several. This sound can often be heard in stores:
"This, this, or this. ”
"Except for this, this and this, and the others, come the same way. ”
If you encounter Chinese Golden Week, you even have to pull up the restricted entry line outside the store, restrict entry, and wait for a group of customers to come out before letting people in, so as not to cause crowding and stampede in the store.
The Chinese, or Asians, are obsessed with LV, which can be seen in general.
For luxury stores, Wang Bo actually doesn't have much preference, his usual clothes, shoes and socks, and the clothes on his body are mostly second-tier brands - of course, they are second-tier brands under first-class brands, like LV, Hermes, and other first-line brands, he almost never touches them, but he gives a lot of them to the women around him - who makes women's eyes light up when they see these things?
For him, firstly, it feels too hot and too public, and secondly, it is still the same sentence, he feels that "things are not so worthwhile", and the virtual value of these things greatly exceeds their real value.
Perhaps, he feels that only when his wealth doubles several times and then goes to the next level, such as being on the Forbes rich list, he will not blink an eye at luxury goods in a general sense except for airplanes and yachts, and he doesn't care at all.
But at that point, he doesn't need to decorate and flatter himself with ordinary luxuries. Li Superman: A $26 Citizen is still a Li Superman for 20 years.
"Ning Qian, I'm going to help my sister buy a bag, you can help me take a look." As soon as he entered the store, Wang Bo said to Ning Qian.
"Ah, Mr. Wang, you ...... What style does she like?" Ning Qian was taken aback, initially thinking that Wang Bo was going to buy a bag herself, but she didn't expect to give it to her sister.
"Hehe, my sister's surname is not Wang, her surname is Zeng, and my mother has the same surname, so she can be regarded as my godsister. As for my sister's hobbies," Wang Bo shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Even if I ask her, she will probably let me look at it." She doesn't have so many requirements in this regard! You can choose whatever you want, Ning Qian, anyway, you girls have similar preferences. ”
"But, in case, in case I choose—"
"Oh, there's not that much in case! Help! Wang Bo interrupted Ning Qian's words, pushed the girl's shoulder, and pushed her towards the counter in front of the bag display.
When he put his hand on the girl's shoulder, through the thin T-shirt, Wang Bo's palm could clearly feel a flat protrusion in the center of the palm.
When I think about it, my heart is fluttering.
Ning Qian pushed it, but she couldn't, so she had to reluctantly agree.
As the global head office of LV, it is estimated that there is no more comprehensive and novel goods than here. Turning back and forth at several counters, Ning Qian was dazzled and dizzying, all of them looked good, and they were all very excited, and they wanted to hug them into their arms.
In the end, looking at it, Ning Qian still picked a LV traditional classic style, carrying a dual-purpose bag, the price is medium, not expensive or cheap, more than 14,000!
"Is that okay, Mr. Wang? I really don't need to take a picture for ...... Show it to Sister Zeng?" Ning Qian, who was carrying the bag, looked at Wang Bo with some uncertainty.
Wang Bo chuckled and said, "No need." I'm sure she loved it. By the way, my sister is 81 years old, 22 years old this year, and I guess, uh, should be a little younger than you. ”
As soon as he said this, Ning Qian immediately blushed, only to feel that the embarrassment was too big, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. Wang Bo said that he had a sister, and she took it for granted that the other party was older than herself.
After paying the money and going through the tax refund procedures, the bag of more than 10,000 yuan was packed in a black velvet cloth bag with a closed mouth, and then the bag was put into a large paper bag with the word "LV" printed on the outside. Wang Bo was impatient to carry a large paper bag to go shopping, and after leaving the LV global head office, he handed the paper bag in his hand to Ning Qian beside him, and said with a smile in the face of the girl's somewhat unknown expression:
"Ning Qian, I lied to you just now, my sister actually has a bag, and it is also of this brand. The first time we met, I haven't given you anything yet. I guess you girls like bags and stuff like that. So, I'll give you this bag. Hope you like it!"
Ning Qian didn't expect that the bag worth more than 10,000 yuan in Wang Bo's hand was bought for her, she was shocked, and the next moment, she was already blushing, and she was busy refusing, and stammered:
"Wang ...... Mr. Wang, Mrs. ...... It's too precious, I ...... I can't ask for it!"
Wang Bo didn't speak, but directly grabbed the girl's warm and slender palm, and directly hung the tether of the paper bag on the other party's fingers, and then said, "Don't mother-in-law." If you feel embarrassed, think it's your reward for translating. ”
"But...... But it's still too much, and it doesn't cost so much money to be a translator for a day!"
"Then leave the rest as your tip. Okay, don't postpone it, or I'll be upset! The consequences of my displeasure are so serious that even my sister is afraid! Let's go to the next attraction. Wang Bo glared at the girl with a straight face, and soon smiled again, and then took the girl's other free little hand and walked forward.
