"Sorry~~, Wait a minute~~!"

Before Wang Chenchen finished speaking, someone called her outside the toilet, and she quickly agreed, with a nervous look on her face, as if she was a thief.

"Wu Qian, it's not convenient for me to talk to you now, I will contact you when I find time."

After finishing speaking, Wang Chenchen hung up the phone hastily.

Wu Qian was at a loss with his mobile phone, and Wang Chenchen's words were endless, but he heard the sentence that someone will deal with him very clearly.

It was too quiet in the car, not only Wu Qian heard the words on the phone, but even Kux vaguely heard it, he asked seriously: "Boss, who is going to deal with you?"

Wu Qian shook his head and said, "Wang Chenchen hung up before finishing speaking."

While speaking, Wu Qian called Wang Chenchen again, but the other party hung up the phone after two rings.

Wu Qian felt that something was wrong. He guessed in his heart that Wang Chenchen probably overheard some important news, but he was caught when he informed himself.

Thinking of this, Wu Qian's heart tightened, and he quickly sent a message to the other party, saying that he was in London now and asked Wang Chenchen to come out for a meeting.

Not long after the message was sent, the phone buzzed and vibrated, and Wang Chenchen replied to the message.

Wu Qian opened it and said that he was invited to meet at a coffee shop on Baker Street.

Baker Street is a street located in the west of downtown London. It was paved in the eighteenth century and named "Baker" Street in memory of the builder William Baker. It used to be a residential area for upper-class residents.

Baker Street became famous because of the Sherlock Holmes series of detective novels. It is the residence of the protagonists in the series. In 1990, No. 221B Baker Street was transformed into the Sherlock Holmes Museum, and the entire street is full of traces of Sherlock Holmes.

Baker Street is adjacent to Knightsbridge, not far to the north. The cafe Wang Chenchen mentioned is less than three kilometers away from Harrods. After all, Selfridges is also in the rich area.

"Kux, go to Candy Cafe on Baker Street!" Wu Qian ordered.

While turning the car around, Kux said, "Boss, don't rush over there, let Bauer check the situation first."

After all, Cooks picked up the communication device to talk to Bauer and conveyed instructions.

The Mercedes-Benz behind the phantom made a sharp turn and drove towards the north street.

Luo Xiaxin could feel the tense atmosphere in the car, and clenched her fists involuntarily. She felt that she should not follow Wu Qian to cause trouble at this time, so she said, "Why don't I go to the shopping mall first, and come back after you finish your work." .”

Before Wu Qian could speak, Cooks said, "Ms. Luo, the situation is unknown now, so it's not advisable to leave the car easily!"

Luo Xiaxin let out an oh, and sat quietly in the car, nervousness written all over her face.

Wu Qian felt that the matter was not that serious. He rubbed Luo Xiaxin's hair and said to Kux, "Don't scare me. If someone is really targeting me, then how could Wang Chenchen still have a chance to inform me? I'm too cautious. .”

Cooks smiled at the central rearview mirror, and said, "Boss, it's always good to be cautious, and do you know if Ms. Wang has become the opponent's person?"

"According to what you said, there are no good people... Hurry up." Wu Qian said with a smile, he did not believe that the situation would be as bad as Cooks said.

Although he refuted Cooks verbally, Wu Qian was still vigilant in his heart. Many things were not afraid of [-], but he did not believe that Wang Chenchen, who had just graduated from school, would cooperate with other people to harm him from the bottom of his heart.

As it turned out, things weren't as serious as Cooks made it out to be.

At the entrance of the cafe, Bauer nodded to Cooks who was sitting in the car, saying that everything was normal and there was no danger.

There are old English-style wall lamps hanging at the entrance of Candy Café. When you open the wooden door, from the British street lamps at the entrance to the printed tablecloths, English-style tea sets and various peripherals in the store, if you are a fan of curly blessings, you will definitely be hooked. .

In the cafe, there are old pipes and "Mr. Skull" on the fireplace, a deerstalker hat on the hanger, a violin on the window sill, and an unfinished game of chess on the low stool.

Wu Qian walked into the cafe and saw this scene, which made him feel that Juanfu was still there just now, but happened to go out with Watson. Unfortunately, he is not in the mood to experience the beauty of being there.

Wang Chenchen was still wearing the work clothes of Selfridges. She was sitting in a corner in a daze. There was a Sherlock Holmes newspaper on the table, but it was actually a menu, and a glass of water was pressed on the menu.

When Wu Qian walked into the cafe, Wang Chenchen saw him and waved gently. Seeing Rosalind following Wu Qian, she also greeted warmly. This beautiful sister who helped her out, she always remember.

"When did you come to the UK? I heard from the manager that you had returned to the capital, so I thought you were not in the UK..."

Wu Qian sat down and said, "When you called me, I happened to be downstairs at Harold, tell me, what's going on?"

Wang Chenchen took a breath and said, "When I was working at Selfridges, I accidentally heard a high-level executive mention you, so I followed up and investigated..."

It is said to be an investigation, but in fact, Wang Chenchen deliberately eavesdropped on the conversations of some high-level officials.

It turns out that Selfridges has changed hands. After the Bangziguo NPS Foundation failed to bid for Harrods with Wu Qian, it set its sights on Selfridges, which sometimes ranks second and sometimes third.

Today's Selfridges Department Store is already owned by the NPS Foundation, and the people who want to deal with Wu Qian are naturally Cui Zairen's family.

Of course, it was not Cui Yingshuo, Cui Zairen's idiot son, but Cui Yinghui, his daughter who had come to the UK from Canada, to help with advice.

Cui Yinghui's ability in all aspects is simply better than Cui Yingshuo's. It's not as simple as one or two grades. She has a very keen business sense. At the same time, Cui Yinghui is also a ruthless woman. In order to achieve her goal, she will use any means.

After Cui Yinghui learned from secret channels that Wu Qian intends to open a branch of Harrods Department Store on the "Symphony of the Sea", a frenzied idea slowly formed in her mind.

"In the beginning, I only heard from the top management that it seemed that they wanted to announce the news of Selfridges building an overseas branch to the outside world first, so as to seize the opportunity of Harold..."

Wang Chenchen said.

A measure that Wu Qian came up on a whim must have enough freshness to attract people's attention. People will only remember the first top-level luxury department store opened in Shanghai. As for the later imitators, the eye-catching effect will be Much worse.

After learning the news, Selfridges decided to speed up and launch their plan before Harold finished transforming the "Symphony of the Seas".

This was just a commercial sniping. In Wu Qian's view, it was not too serious. He believed that the matter did not end here, and motioned Wang Chenchen to continue.

"I thought it was limited to this, but today when I was cleaning the corridor, I heard a woman (Cui Yinghui) call and say that she had placed her own person in the Royal Cruises Group. Your name seemed to be mentioned later, but because she It's far away, I really can't hear it."

"I guess, is she going to do something to your cruise ship?"

Wang Chenchen's careful analysis, combined with the theme of the cafe, has a sense of sight and reasoning.

Nowadays, the manufacturing technology of luxury cruise ships is mainly monopolized by Meyer Shipyard in Germany, Atlantique Shipyard in France, Cantelli Shipyard in Italy and Aker Shipyard in Finland.

The "Symphony of the Seas" was manufactured in France, but Wu Qian's renovation project is indeed to be handed over to the Royal Cruise Lines Group in the UK. After all, Harold's headquarters are in the UK. If the renovation of the cruise ship is carried out in other countries, there will be a lot of inconvenience The place.

"I suspected that Cui Zairen would not let it go, and sure enough, he did it... There is no way, what should come will always come."

Wu Qian muttered softly.

Wang Chenchen covered his mouth with his hands, and said in surprise, "So you know the boss of Selfridges?"

Wu Qian raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, and said, "Cui Zairen is not the boss of Selfridges, he is just a senior executive of the NPS Foundation."

"Before, his son caused trouble at Harrods and hit a friend of mine. I happened to hit him. You can make up your own mind about the rest of the matter. Anyway, he and I formed a relationship."

"Cui Zairen gave in at the time, but I guessed that guy would not be reconciled, but I didn't expect the action to be quite fast."

It's not that Wu Qian was worried that Cui Zairen would retaliate, but in that situation at the time, he couldn't do it. First, the environment didn't allow it, and second, he didn't allow it in his heart. After all, it wasn't a big deal.

"If the news you heard is correct, then they are likely to plan to tamper with the transformation of the cruise ship to create a safety hazard. This is not a small problem..."

Wu Qian felt cold in his heart. The "Symphony of the Sea" went to sea once, and the crew and tourists were casually 8000 people. If something really happened in the vast sea, it would be called "every day should not be done, and the place should not be called." spirit!
There is really a shipwreck, and no one can bear those lives!

Wu Qian thought about Kux's words, and wondered whether Wang Chenchen was bribed by the other party to deliberately release false news, but he thought about it again, no matter whether the news is true or not, it deserves attention.

"It's very dangerous for you to eavesdrop on high-level conversations everywhere, why do you think of helping me?" Wu Qian asked with a relaxed posture, smiling.

Wang Chenchen's eyes were wide open, and he said seriously: "We are fellow citizens, and you have helped me several times, of course I will help you!"

"Oh!" Wang Chenchen suddenly thought of something, puffed up his cheeks and said, "You don't think I'm lying to you on purpose, do you think I..."

Before Wang Chenchen could continue, Wu Qian waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just worried about your safety, I think it's too dangerous for you to do that, well, you can't go back to Selfridges, come with me to Harlow De, I'll ask HR to arrange a job for you."

Wang Chenchen's eyes were full of suspicion. She felt that she was being treated like a donkey with good intentions, and she said angrily: "Mr. Wu, I, Wang Chenchen, swear to God, everything I just said is true. If I lie to you, I will gain a hundred catties." !"

Wu Qian was amused by Wang Chenchen's serious look. Recently, there have been a lot of flattery and deceit, which made people neurotic.

"Haha, don't dare to think, don't dare to think, okay, I know you didn't lie to me, here, she reminded me that you might be bribed by the other party, let me be careful, if you want to blame, blame her."

When Rosalind saw the boss pointing at herself, she just wanted to cover her face, who is this...

"Miss Wang, I am also responsible, please don't take offense..." Even though he was slapped by the BOSS, he still had to take the blame, which is miserable.

In her heart, Rosalind cursed both Wu Qian and Kuks a hundred times, they are two scammers!
Wang Chenchen didn't worry about being suspected anymore, she said: "If I run away suddenly at this time, will it be bad, will it be a surprise? I think there is a plot in Sherlock Holmes..."

Wu Qian stood up and raised his hand to slap Wang Chenchen on the head. He said with a smile, "This is not a detective game. If you play it with fire, you will die. Let's go, you can get on that black Mercedes when you go out."

Wang Chenchen followed his words and did not insist.

When the group went to Harrods, Wu Qian called the personnel and sales executives to the office, ordered some things, left Luo Xiaxin and Wang Chenchen in the mall, and left with the bodyguards.

After leaving Harold, Wu Qian went straight to the G4S headquarters.

It took a total of more than three hours. When Phantom left the castle, the Mercedes-Benz driven by Bauer was removed from the rear, and there were three more cars, each with four people sitting in it.

Today is not the same as in the past. When Wu Qian came to the UK last time, he was unknown, and almost no one knew who he was. But now, he is not a household name, but his popularity is already very high in certain circles.

Especially the title of owner of the Manchester United club has made him known to many people.

There are many more dangers in the open and in the dark, and we have to strengthen our defenses.

In the car, Wu Qian said: "Today we have hired more than a dozen bodyguards. When you have time, you can give them lessons and guide the newcomers. Well, Rosalind, look at the operating status of the Royal Cruises Group. What is the market value?"

Now that he knew the situation in advance, Wu Qian must of course take precautions. He decided to directly buy the shipyard of Royal Cruises!

This is the style of the god-level rich man, directly buying links that others can take advantage of, so that others can take advantage of them.

The name of this British shipyard is Royal Cruises. In fact, it has no substantive relationship with the royal family. It is a completely privatized enterprise.

Unexpectedly, this time it was a step slower!
Rosalind inquired for a while, made a few more phone calls, and said with a little regret: "Four days ago, the Royal Cruise Group was acquired by a Spanish company with 50.00% of the shares."

"And that Spanish company is just a shell subsidiary. I checked its parent company and found that the background is very hidden, twists and turns, several turns, and finally pointed to a stick named Cui Pingen..."

"Boss, [-]% of what Ms. Wang said is true, so be careful!"

The corners of Wu Qian's eyes twitched, and he said, "In order to get revenge on me, I bought half of the shipyard directly, heh heh, Cui Zairen, you played really well this time!"
