Chapter 289 The Structure of Top Department Stores
According to the law, British international students are only allowed to work 20 hours a week. If they work more than 20 hours a week, they need to pay 20% tax. The minimum salary for part-time work is set according to age. The hourly minimum is 18 pounds, and 4.35-18 years old is 20 pounds.

The tax standard threshold is calculated according to time, and everyone will naturally choose jobs with higher salaries.

Wang Chenchen learned that the daily fees for tour guides near London ranged from 200 to 300 pounds, so she took aim at this business, providing tour guide services for compatriots at a relatively low fee, and the business is not bad.

While Bauer turned sideways, Wu Qian noticed Wang Chenchen. He thought it was a tourist asking him to help take pictures like in Hyde Park, but he didn't expect that it was an international student working part-time.

Wu Qian patted Baoer's arm, motioned him to relax, and then looked at Wang Chenchen.

At first glance, Wang Chenchen is not so outstanding, with light makeup on, his appearance is not so beautiful, not as good-looking as any of the women around him, but he has advantages, his manners are more elegant, and his figure is great.

"I'm going to visit the department store ahead, do you know Harrods?" Wu Qian asked.

He intended to invite a tour guide to accompany him to understand the mall from the perspective of customers and tourists. Hiring a local tour guide may boast too much, and he will routinely buy things by himself.

My compatriots are studying in foreign countries and earn extra money through work-study programs. Why not support them.

Wang Chenchen smiled slightly and said, "Hello, my name is Wang Chenchen. I know all the famous places in London very well. May I ask your surname? If... If you don't mind, I'll call you handsome, or Little brother is also fine, it seems that this title is very popular now."

Wu Qian smiled. The title of "little brother" reminded him of Luo Xiaxin. That little girl has been busy with Xiong Yali's public welfare department recently. She is so busy every day. Sometimes she will send a message to report the situation. It feels better than before. Much more mature.

"My surname is Wu, Wu Qian, you can call me by my first name," Wu Qian said.

Wang Chenchen froze for a moment, then pursed his mouth, as if holding back a smile.

Wu Qian asked with a smile: "Do you think my name is very interesting?"

Wang Chenchen nodded, and said: "Your name is Wu Qian. It sounds like Wu, who is 'made out of nothing'. Qian is the money of 'money'. No money means no money. But how can you look like 'nothing'?" Money', it's simply too rich."

Wang Chenchen complimented Wu Qian, his expression and tone seemed very natural, not artificial at all.

Wu Qian looked at the upright girl in front of him, and said, "I've thought about this before, but it can also be 'fearless and go forward', depending on how you understand it."

"Let's not talk about that, Wang Chenchen, you know the famous scenic spots, but can Harrods be considered a famous scenic spot? I won't pay if the introduction is wrong."

Wang Chenchen approached Wu Qian and said with a smile, "Wu Qian, you are only half right. Harrods is a shopping mall as well as a scenic spot. Harrods, which has a history of almost 200 years, is the place where most tourists come to London. , an important item on the wish list, but don’t just think of Harrods as an ordinary luxury department store.”

"Huh? Really?" Seeing Wang Chenchen's confident face, Wu Qian must have done enough homework to be a part-time tour guide.

He walked towards Harrods, with Bauer and Cook following behind, almost inseparable. This kind of place has a huge flow of people and is a dangerous high-incidence area.

Wang Chenchen followed Wu Qian's right hand, and she was still holding a pink lace-lined umbrella in her hand. The weather in London can change a lot, so you can't go wrong with an umbrella.

"Of course it's true, Wu Qian, do you know how many visitors Harrods has every day? It's almost 10! Don't be surprised, this is just the number of visitors on a normal day. If you catch up Holidays or shopping seasons are even more exaggerated.”

"The most powerful thing is that during the Christmas shopping season, the number of visitors per day is as high as 30! According to statistics, Harrods receives at least 2000 million tourists every year. Harrods cannot be regarded as a shopping mall, it is a landmark Architecture, just like the Elizabeth Tower and the London Eye."

After speaking, Wang Chenchen looked at Wu Qian with a little expectation on his face, hoping to see the surprised expression on his face.

Wu Qian did not disappoint Wang Chenchen, he paused, frowned and looked at Wang Chenchen, with astonishment and suspicion in his eyes.

Can a shopping mall receive [-] visitors a day?This magnitude simply makes the scalp tingle.

Shanghai Disneyland made relevant statistics when it opened for one year, and it received 1100 million tourists in one year, which means an average of 3 tourists per day.However, Disneyland covers an area of ​​hundreds of hectares, and people are anxious to play a project, and the queues are endless.

But how big is the building in front of you? It's only a few hundred thousand square meters, or even less than that. It can receive 10 visitors a day?Not to mention the terrifying number of 30 visitors per day during the Christmas shopping month. Wu Qian was a little bit surprised, and more of a disbelief. He suspected that this data was fake.

"Wang Chenchen, where did you get these data, did you compile it yourself? Is it reliable, how big is this store, and how can it receive so many people?" Wu Qian asked.

Wang Chenchen glanced at the Harrods department store not far away, turned to look at Wu Qian, and said with a smile, "Wu Qian, the sales space of Harrods department store is [-] square meters, which is not very big, but there are really many people every day. There are many, if you don’t believe me, go in and have a look and you’ll know, be mentally prepared.”

At this time, David leaned over to Wu Qian and whispered something in Wu Qian's ear. He is an authentic British, and he has a little understanding of the country's top luxury department stores.

"Boss, what this lady said is true, it's just that many people just go in for a stroll and then leave. Not every tourist knows how to shop..."

Wu Qian nodded slowly, digesting the information in his heart, and walked towards Harrods.

Before entering the door, Wu Qian deliberately walked around in front of the department store.

The windows on the first floor of Harrods are so huge that it is no problem to display a car or a small yacht. It is very grand!The floor-to-ceiling glass was spotless, and many people on the side of the road were taking pictures with their cameras.

"Harrods is not allowed to take pictures inside, and if you want to take pictures to commemorate, you can only go outside." Wang Chenchen introduced in a timely manner, Harrods will receive tourists from all over the world, and many people take their own portrait rights very seriously.

It was not only Wang Chenchen who noticed Wu Qian early in the morning, but also the top welcome guests from Harrods.

When Wu Qian and his group walked to the gate of Harrods, an uncle in welcome clothes walked towards Wu Qian enthusiastically.
