money trouble

Chapter 299
Harvey Nix’s London head office is not far from Harrods, also in the Knightsbridge area, but it is not an opponent of Harrods at all. It has to rely on more than ten branches around the world and online sales in order to increase its turnover. Beyond Harrods, as to whether the net profit can win, it is still a matter of opinion.

Selfridge's situation is slightly worse than that of Harvey Knicks.

Latecomers want to surpass the pioneers, sometimes it is not enough to just work hard, because the pioneers are also working hard to move forward.Unless the pioneers give up and die by themselves, otherwise, the latecomers may never have a chance to surpass it, and may be left farther and farther away.

For example, Patek Philippe among wristwatches, unless the factory is closed or the quality is deliberately lowered to produce junk products, otherwise other watch brands can’t catch up with them. It’s been like this for decades, and it’s still like this for hundreds of years...

Wu Qian's eyes regained focus and looked at Hammerkar. Just as he was about to bid, Cui Zairen made a fuss again.

"Hammerkar, the NPS fund has been increased to 36 billion pounds. This is our limit price. Wu, I won't add it even if you add another penny!" Cui Zairen looked very solemn, and it seemed that he had paid Final decision.

Pence is the smallest unit of British currency, equivalent to cents in China.

In a short period of time, Cui Zairen thought a lot, and if it didn't work out, he should settle for the next best thing. The company standing behind Wu Qian made him unpredictable, and he had a very rogue idea.

Cui Zairen felt that handing over the management of No. [-] Department Store in London to a Chinese company might start to go downhill. If Harrods goes downhill, then the other department stores that followed would have the ability to overtake it. Chance.

If Wu Qian accepts the bidding price of 36 billion pounds to win Harrods, he proposes that the NPS core layer acquire Selfridges, which is not far from Harrods, and spend more money on the follow-up development.

Try to use 5-10 years to surpass Harrods in all aspects and become the No. [-] department store in London, so that the value added of the industry will be immeasurable.

Cui Zairen's calculations are very strange. If his idea wants to succeed, it must be based on the failure of the other party. He underestimates the management ability and foresight of the Chinese investors from the bottom of his heart.

Taking a [-]-step back, Choi Jae-in feels that even if the goal cannot be achieved by then, the NPS Fund will not bear the loss, it just earns less, which is a gamble to change a bicycle into a motorcycle.

Choi Jae-in thought well, but he still missed a possibility. He didn't consider what would happen if the opponent didn't play cards according to the routine. Experience sometimes deceives those who believe in him.

……

The result of Harrods’ bidding is self-evident. Wu Qian successfully won this extremely high-quality industry at a price of 36 billion pounds and 1 penny. Although the potential has declined with the increase in price, the development The future is still good.

Wu Qian didn't know what Cui Zairen was thinking. He was quite satisfied with winning Harrods at this price. It is completely acceptable if you are not in a hurry to spend money.

Money is only valuable if it is used for investment and turned into assets, otherwise it will always be a string of numbers in the bank, which does not have much practical significance.

Save some money for fun and enjoyment, prepare a rich working capital, and invest the rest, this is a qualified rich man.

When the bidding team of the NPS Foundation left, Cui Zairen embraced Wu Qian very warmly, expressed his "heartfelt" congratulations to the source of happiness investment company, and said goodbye to Bangziguo's brand in Harrods No good words, I implore Wu Qian and the future to give some care.

From the standpoint of a friend or "one of my own", Choi Jae-in is a very good partner, but as a competitor, he is a guy who needs to be cautious all the time.

Wu Qian was very tired of Cui Zairen's smiling face. In comparison, Wu Qian felt that Rapo Elkann's small thoughts were nothing, because for a person like Cui Zairen, you don't know when he will come from Stab you in the back.

The rest of the matter is simple and clear. The Qatar Holding Group had an idea to sell Harrods as early as the beginning of the year. It had already prepared a very complete accounting statement early in the morning. It only needs to be verified after the legal procedures are gone and the funds are posted. The whole deal is done.

Wu Qian received a call from Mogao Chase. Such a huge amount of transfer would not be possible without authorization from the bank. Seeing his funds dwindle, Wu Qian actually felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. What is going on with this emotion.

Of course, Wu Qian only transferred 36 billion pounds to the other party through Mogaoda. As for the extra penny, Wu Qian was really embarrassed to leave the bank. In the end, a business consultant in the entourage found a coin in the corner of his wallet. 1 penny coin...

For this reason, Wu Qian also specially gave the business consultant 50 pounds. It would be very disgusting if the other party asked for a share in Harrods on the grounds of 1 penny.

The transaction was concluded. In the London branch of the Qatar Holding Group, Wu Qian and Hammerkar shook hands and took pictures for a commemorative photo. The old and new owners of Harrods Department Store were very low-key and did not invite the media to hold a press conference.

If the outside world is not a caring person, I am afraid that they will not know for a long time that the No. [-] department store in the UK has changed hands. In fact, this kind of thing is not surprising. I am afraid that many Europeans still think that Harrods is still Dodi Fayyad owns the property.

"Wu, I don't know where the London headquarters of 'The Source of Happiness Investment Company' is. I have time to sit with you." Hammerkar said with a smile. Compared with Cui Zairen, he prefers Wu Qian, a young man from the Celestial Dynasty. Happy, should be a good playmate when not doing business.

The top rich are also human beings, and they cannot do without eating, drinking and having fun, but their circles are different. In some respects, the top rich are worse than ordinary people, because it is difficult to make good friends.

Wu Qian laughed, and said without hesitation: "I just found an office building and rented an office to register a company. It's not as big as your conference room here, so I can't entertain you properly, haha."

That office is purely for company registration, not to mention receiving guests, even if there are more people working, it will be very difficult.

Hearing Wu Qian talk about this matter, the accompanying legal business consultant felt very strange. The person he was serving was really informal...

Hammerkar was slightly taken aback, with an unconcealable astonishment on his face, secretly said.

"The tycoons of the Celestial Dynasty are really low-key. They are not at all like those guys in the Middle East. They all want the whole world to know that they are rich. Look at their style, it is worth learning."
