The acquisition of a hotel in Paris is also a major project that Fan Wuxian has been working on for several years.

Although the economic situation in Europe is not very good, and Soros and other speculators will harass them from time to time, on the whole, with the establishment of the European Union and the gradual formation of a large European group, the economic situation in Europe will undergo fundamental changes.

The improvement of Franco-German relations will mean that the European continent will once again become an interest group that can gradually confront the United States, so the recovery and development of the European economy can be expected.

Fan Wuxian focused on acquiring some famous hotels in Paris, which is nothing more than waiting for the French economy to improve, the real estate boom is also rising, and another point is that with the arrival of the new economy, international tourism is booming again.

Located on the Place de la Concorde in Paris, France, the Clion Hotel is also the oldest and most historically and culturally rich luxury hotel in Paris, and has always been the first choice for heads of state and dignitaries from all walks of life to stay.

Located on the Golden Horn of Paris, Avenue Montaigne is a premium piece of land, with low green vegetation and dark black metal fences under the eaves of the house conveying an understated elegance. This famous street is home to some of the most glorious and historic brands in the fashion industry, but at first glance all the buildings and shops are not very different, and you can only see the less conspicuous brand names on the lintels when you walk to the door of each store.

At the intersection of Avenue Montaigne and Rue François, there is a building with a white diamond-shaped exterior wall, which is the main store of Christian Dior, with its headquarters next to it.

Clion is famous for its suites, among which the Bernstein suite is known as the most beautiful suite in Paris, not to mention the decoration of the room, just the two large rooftops outside the room are dreamy enough, the area of the rooftop is 100 square meters, standing on the rooftop, half of the city of Paris is the view at the feet.

Bernstein, a famous composer who was a guest here, was pleased to accept the suite's name.

The Louis XV Suite is the most famous suite of the Grand Hotel de Cleon, with a 10-square-metre rooftop facing the Place de la Concorde and a panoramic view of the city. The painted woodwork is hand-carved, and the silk fabrics are shaped in the style of Louis XV, a typical recreation of the French tradition.

In addition, many high-end local meetings are willing to be held here. The Hotel Cleon has always been a hot place for business.

The reason why Fan Wuxian was able to take the Klee Hotel into his pocket. In fact, there is a lot of luck. At that time, a major shareholder of the hotel suddenly had a financial crisis. Fan Wuxian's subordinates stationed in Paris took the opportunity to lower prices. Forty percent of the hotel's shares were exchanged for cash. Later, he snatched the shares in the hands of several minority shareholders, which can be regarded as a complete control of the Cleon Hotel.

In the evening. There was a pair of young men and women walking on the streets here. Light walking.

"It feels like you've arrived in Paris. The whole person became very excited. Fan Wuxian said to Shen Ying.

Shen Ying said with great interest. "The view of Paris is still very nice. The food was also very special. In particular, there are a lot of fashionable things, but I am interested in visiting them for a few more days. ”

The coming-of-age ball organizer actually agreed to Shen Ying's request. It was very happy to agree to add China to the list of recipient countries. This made Shen Ying unable to shirk. Therefore, she was accompanied by Fan without illness. Came to Paris.

This result also made Fan Wuxi feel a little depressed, in his impression, the French are typical Gallic roosters, the kind of guy who is majestic and refuses to put down his body, but he didn't expect to bow his head so easily, it is really incomprehensible, could it be that Shen Ying's charm is too great?

Or is there any character such as a prince and duke in this ball who is more interested in Shen Ying, and must invite her to participate in it? Fan Wuxian thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out.

But in any case, the two men finally made it to Paris, and they were surrounded by twenty well-trained and powerful professional bodyguards.

"The glitz is just the surface, but in fact there is a high crime rate here in Paris, so I suggest you don't run around." Fan Wuxian thought of the last time he went to a bar in Paris, he almost had a shootout with someone, so he said to Shen Ying.

"It's okay to only come out during the day, right?" Shen Ying asked.

"That's hard to say—" Fan Wuxian shook his head.

The two of them soon came to the hotel, and the management here basically retained the original team, but the boss was changed, and the executives of Fan's Investment Group stationed here immediately came to greet Fan Wuxian and then arranged the best suite for him, and arranged him and Shen Ying together as a matter of course.

It wasn't until she went to bed at night that Ying discovered this problem, and immediately disagreed, "Your subordinates are as bad as you, why do you only arrange one suite?" ”

Fan Wuxian replied with a smile, "Miss, this is the world's top luxury hotel, and the cost of a suite for a night is very expensive, so we can't be too extravagant in line with the principle of thrift and thrift, right?" If you have a suite for one person, it will delay the hotel to make money! ”

"Then you go sleep on the sofa—" Shen Ying pointed to the couch in the living room and said to Fan Wuxian.

"That's not appropriate, right?" Fan Wuxi immediately expressed a different opinion, "How can I say that I am also the owner of the hotel, if I sleep on the sofa like this, it will make people laugh if it spreads, you must know that the waiter of the hotel can know where you sleep at night from the subtle links, whether you sleep alone." ”

"And what do you want?" Shen Ying looked at Fan Wuxian and asked.

"Da was sleeping together—" Fan replied with a shy face.

After waking up the next morning, Fan Wuxian felt back pain.

Shen Ying let Fan Wu lie next to her all night, but she wrapped Fan Wu into a dumpling with a sheet, so it was strange that she could fall asleep.

Fan Wuxian lived his body, and lamented in his heart, "Martial arts masters don't have any advantages in front of the little girls they like, but the flower thieves have no burden in their hearts." ”

Then it was arranged by the organizer of the prom, Shen Ying began to wear makeup for more than a day, and she also knew how they persevered, from early in the morning, dozens of designers surrounded them, a total of twenty-six girls, and wore the clothes designed by any fashion jewelry master, plus the design and styling of the hairstyle, etc., knowing that before the dance began, each girl insisted on a full thirty hours.

Wuxian came to see Shen Ying several times in the middle, and each time he saw her constantly trying on clothes there, or being fiddled with her hair.

However, it should be admitted that the designers do have two brushes for fiddling with the shape, after all, they are professionals who eat this bowl of rice, and their work is not only efficient, but also of high quality.

Photographers were holding long guns and murdering the film as if they were waste paper that didn't cost money, and each photographer took at least 500 close-ups a day.

At seven o'clock the next night, 26 girls from 11 countries attended this year's coming-of-age ball.

All the girls were dubbed celebrities by the media, and even called the princesses' party, high-end fashion, dazzling jewelry, and grand scenes, all of which made people's blood run as if this was just a stage to show the pride of aristocratic girls.

Many media outlets have linked the Paris Rite of Passage to the Victorian Girls' Rite of Passage in England, and even said that the former is a direct inheritance of the latter. In fact, the court-style coming-of-age balls had already died decades ago.

The coming-of-age balls of the British and royal families are custom-made for dresses and jewelry, while the dresses and jewelry of the Paris coming-of-age balls are provided by sponsors and cannot be customized, which is said to be to avoid arousing public disgust and resistance, so in this kind of coming-of-age ball, there are often interesting scenes where the dress does not fit well.

When Fan Wuxian visited in the middle, he found that the figure of some girls did not match the clothes they tried on, which made the designers feel very headache and had to temporarily take some emergency measures to adjust the size of the clothes.

The royal coming-of-age ball is generally a two-step process, that is, the participating girls meet the king, and participate in the ball after the meeting, while the Paris coming-of-age ball has four steps, the selected girls begin to try on clothes and jewelry, this process is public, the purpose is to facilitate publicity, the day before the ball, the participants will dress for a group photo, and be officially introduced to their "knights", that is, those young men who have been selected to be dance partners. On the day of the ball, there will be a grand banquet first, where the girl and the "knight" will be paired up, and various charity and fundraising activities will be arranged at this stage.

The last step, of course, is the prom.

Obviously, if the purpose of the court coming-of-age ball is to introduce girls to the nobility, then the purpose of the Paris coming-of-age ball is to bring girls into the social circle of the public, so that they can learn to deal with society, the media and the public.

But this year's coming-of-age ball finally had a little accident, and the "knight" who appeared paired with Miss Shen Ying from Chinese mainland was not a royal descendant or an heir of European noble blood pre-selected by the ball organizer, but a young man from Chinese mainland.

"Mr. Fan Wuji, Chairman of Fan's Investment Group, and Miss Shen Ying, the heir of the Shen Foundation, are invited—" The organizer of the ball announced loudly as the lights came on.

There are no pop-ups
