Chapter 675: Chanel
Su Yan readily agreed. "Okay, in fact, I don't know much about Africa, I only know some superficial things, and many of them are hearsay from the Internet or other flight attendants, so I can't take it seriously."
"When I used to read, I often heard a saying: It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books. I don't think I've been staying at home, but now I'm far away. You have been to many places and have seen a lot of knowledge, and I sincerely ask you for advice. Chen Hao was very humble.
"Chen Hao, what you said is too polite." Su Yan paused slightly, as if organizing the language. "Africa is the second largest continent in the world, after Asia. Africa is home to the Sahara Desert, the largest desert in the world, the Great Rift Valley, the largest rift zone in the world, and of course, the Nile, the longest river in the world, which gave birth to the splendid ancient Egyptian civilization. By the way, Chen Hao, generally we Chinese people go to Egypt when we travel to Africa, why would you choose Botswana? β
Chen Hao touched his nose and said with a smile: "I have a friend who owns a factory in Botswana, and he invited me to be a guest at his place, so I came." β
Su Yan was relieved when she heard this, she had always wondered how Chen Hao could go to Botswana, a small African country that Chinese people had never heard of.
"With a population of just over two million, Botswana has a tropical arid savannah climate with year-round drought and little rainfall, and even the capital is surrounded by a desert. Their national motto is precipitation, and the annual precipitation is only 400 mm, which is less than the precipitation of a rainstorm in the southern part of our Chinese country, which shows the preciousness of water. However, the temperature is still good and cool in March, and after May, it will enter the dry winter. β
"Originally, the law and order in this country was not bad, but recently refugees from other countries have entered, the law and order situation has deteriorated, and theft and robbery cases in broad daylight are commonplace. So Chen Hao, after you get there, try not to go to a secluded place with few people, and don't show cash and valuables. β
"In addition, the ruling party in Botswana has just split recently, the second leader of the ruling party has withdrawn from the party and established a new opposition party, and now the opposition party is becoming stronger and stronger, and it is also developing its own armed forces, I heard that there were some sporadic battles between the opposition and the government army not long ago, so if Chen Hao has nothing to do, try to hide at home and not go out."
Su Yan said a lot in one breath, and her words revealed a strong sense of concern.
"Aren't you dangerous, then?" Chen Hao was shocked. She has the power to protect herself, but Su Yan, a defenseless and weak woman, is quite dangerous in Africa, and Su Yan is still a big beauty.
"It's okay, I usually stay on the plane and don't leave the plane easily." Su Yan smiled and explained that it was the first time that Chen Hao and Su Yan had a long chat, they talked about childhood, school, and work, and Su Yan told Chen Hao about the anecdotes she encountered during the flight and the customs of various places, which opened the eyes of Chen Hao, a native bun who had never been abroad; And Chen Hao revealed all the troubles that happened to Ye Jingcheng, and laughed so much that Su Yanhua trembled.
Seeing Su Yan's happy appearance, Chen Hao secretly thought in his heart. "Donkey, donkey, the ancients played the princes, just to win a smile from the beauty; Tang Xuanzong ran to death dozens of war horses and traveled thousands of miles to deliver lychees, and when he rode the red dust concubine, he smiled, and no one came just lychees. Your embarrassment can make beautiful women laugh, and it can be regarded as immeasurable merit,"
Time flew by in a chat with a beautiful woman, and ten hours later, the plane landed at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport. "Chen Hao, the plane will wait for more than an hour before it takes off, hurry up and go to the duty-free shop at the airport to buy some goods for your girlfriend, French perfume is the most famous, and it is a girl's favorite." Moreover, there is no tax refund required for shopping here, which saves a lot of trouble. The plane was not yet stable on the runway, and Su Yan came to Chen Hao's side again.
"Really? This is a must-see. Chen Hao got up happily, waited for the cabin door, and then turned around and asked, "Su Yan, aren't you going?" β
Su Yan wanted to shake her head, in her eyes, such a commodity is still a luxury item no matter how tax-free it is, of course she can afford it, but she has not yet the habit of buying luxury goods. Compared with those moonlight clans, Su Yan is more willing to save money, and she wants to build a good house for her parents who are far away from home.
But Su Yan nodded, although she didn't buy it, she could be a good guide for Chen Hao.
Su Yan took Chen Hao and followed the army to the duty-free shopping mall at Charles de Gaulle Airport in France. Su Yan pointed to the duty-free shops on both sides and said to Chen Hao: "The number of duty-free brand-name stores in Charles de Gaulle Airport is small, and the prices are not advantageous compared with the specialty stores on the famous Champs-ElysΓ©es in the world, but there are still stores of top brands such as Chanel and Dior. If you come for Christmas, you'll get very cheap goods. β
Chen Hao paced from shop to store, and saw a large number of yellow-skinned and black-eyed people crowded into the red wine store. Su Yan pointed to the bottles of red wine placed in the window on the street and said to Chen Hao: "French perfume and French wine are the most prestigious commodities in the world, and they have become the symbol of France like the Eiffel Tower of the Arc de Triomphe in France. β
"The airport mall has the largest selection of wines in France. Last year, a tourist from China set a world record for duty-free liquor, spending 23,000 euros in a single purchase, including a sky-high wine from 1945. β
"But I recommend the Veuve Clicquot Travel Size, which costs 65 euros and includes a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Champagne and two champagne glasses. Of course, you can also buy some Bollinger rosΓ© champagne for 65 euros a bottle and buy it home to drink with the girl you like. β
Chen Hao stepped forward with great interest and bought a set of Veuve Clicquot Champagne travel size.
Moving on, in several cosmetics stores, Chinese people bought perfumes and cosmetics in large quantities like nothing, which made Chen Hao stunned.
Chanel (Chanel) is the only perfume brand that Chen Hao knows, and the famous Chanel No. 5 is the favorite of celebrities. Chen Hao said to Su Yan: "The brand Chanel is a household name in China, I will buy a little and give it away." With that, there was a queue in front of the Chanel store.
Although Chen Hao didn't say anything, Su Yan knew with his toes that Chen Hao was buying a gift for his girlfriend.
Su Yan looked at Chen Hao's back with some grievance and some jealousy, and then walked to Chen Hao's side and said: "Chen Hao, you really have vision, a former French minister of culture once sighed: 'In the last century, France contributed three great names to mankind - Charles de Gaulle, Van Gogh and Chanel. ββ
