877. Prince's Little Friendship
In fact, if we can get along with the British royal line, it would be okay for Qin Shiou to give this set of jewelry to Prince Harry for free. He doesn't take it seriously for millions of Canadian dollars.
But if he really did this, Prince Harry might have thanked him at that time, but he would definitely treat him as a fool when he turned around. Qin Shiou gave a small discount so that he could get Prince Harry's gratitude. He would not think that Qin Shiou was stupid and had a lot of money.
Qin Shiou also pays attention to the price. Prince Harry and his brother have a good relationship. He will definitely give him a gift of enough weight when his brother gets married. It is less than nine million Canadian dollars, which is equivalent to pounds of four million.
In September this year, Prince Harry had just celebrated his 30th birthday. According to the will of his mother Princess Diana, he inherited a 10 million pound inheritance. As interest rates rose in the past two years, Harry eventually earned more than his brother Prince William.
So he can definitely give a gift of four million pounds.
After all, he is one of the heirs of the British royal family. Prince Harry was very happy. He did not bargain with millions of Canadian dollars. After Qin Shiou finished speaking, he said: "Okay, thank you for your blessing. My friend, I will ask my financial planner to transfer the money to you tomorrow. Is it OK?"
Qin Shiou shook hands with him, and the business was completed.
Vincent said happily: "Great, Qin, you have a good start, and Henry got a valuable gift. Should we celebrate it? Then I will prepare the supper."
His pleasure was not simply happy that Qin Shiou and Prince Harry each took their needs, but that Tiffany could get benefits from this transaction, and he was equivalent to an intermediary. According to his agreement with Qin Shiou, if jewelry is sold through Tiffany, Qin Shiou would have to pay a 12% agency fee.
In other words, Vincent got a million Canadian dollars in income for nothing.
Don't underestimate this income. Tiffany's annual net profit is only more than 80 million US dollars.
The British princes are very stylish. Prince Harry accompanied him with four big-sleeved and round bodyguards. It is said that they are retired elites. Qin Shiou became interested when he saw their extremely tough looks and asked Nelson who was accompanying him, "How are these people?"
Nelson said: "What aspects do you want to ask? They are professional bodyguards, and no one in our fishing ground can compare to them."
Qin Shiou said: "What about the comprehensive combat power? How about this?"
Nelson said: "I may not be their opponent, but Bird is fine. Bird's overall combat power will exceed each of them four. They probably can't do Black Knife. They are just ordinary mercenaries, and every elite in sas is a super mercenary."
The full name of sas is the British Special Air Service Regiment. It is the first elite army special forces in Europe and the world's first regular special combat force.
The pioneer of most modern special forces is sas, which is a role model for all modern special forces. It is famous for its ability to complete tasks accurately and efficiently in a short period of time. It is currently the highest task completion rate among all special forces.
The most famous special forces are probably the American SEALs and Delta, which is because of the promotion of Hollywood blockbusters. Of course, these two troops are indeed powerful. Bird retired from the Delta and has super capable.
However, these two special forces have the shadow of sas. Moreover, sas has always been recognized as the strongest special forces.
Of course, the American soldiers were not convinced. They believed that the Marines could wrestle the arm of the sas. Because almost all American special forces had experienced large wars and countless small-scale conflicts, the British special forces had less actual combat contact. This greatly affected the combat effectiveness.
It is normal for Prince Harry to bring four bodyguards. I wonder how many people want to kidnap him or kill him.
Vincent booked a restaurant, also a three-star Michelin hotel. He directly booked the hotel's dinner time to entertain Prince Harry and Qin Shiou.
The last time he met Prince Harry in Basque Harry, Qin Shiou felt a little dreamy. After all, he used to see this prince on TV or computer, and suddenly he was surprised to see what he lived.
This time, he lost this mentality. Maybe he was a peaceful attitude. He was relaxed when he had dinner with Prince Harry. He even joked with His Highness and asked Prince William if he could see him after the wedding.
Because he had been a soldier, Prince Harry was generous and honest with the military, and he said: "This is not difficult. If I invite you as a friend, it will be fine. But to be honest, the royal wedding has no meaning at all. If it weren't for William's wedding, I would definitely escape."
Qin Shiouxin, this guy is so rebellious. Compared with him, the teenagers born in the 1990s in China are just as well-behaved as babies in kindergartens.
During this period, the three of them also talked about this. Qin Shiou said that you were so fierce when you were wearing fascist military uniforms to attend the party. Prince Harry smiled bitterly and said that he was young at that time. If he could give him a chance to start over, he would definitely not have done so.
"But I don't regret it, it's also a good memory. You Chinese say you are young and frivolous. If my youth is as calm as William, that is the real regret." Prince Harry smiled.
Qin Shiou said: "Yes, I think so too. There is a saying in China that people are not romantic and indifferent. For our lost youth, come on, and we will toast!"
"cheers!"
The supper was not long, and it only took less than an hour to eat. The three of them chatted casually. The protagonist was naturally Prince Harry. He talked about the ridiculous things he did in London and introduced his experiences when serving in Iraq. Qin Shiou knew more about Prince Pony Face and had a better impression of him.
After dinner, Qin Shiou returned to the hotel that Butler booked for him. The next day was the day when Daqin Seafood New York branch opened, and he rushed over early.
Butler chose the store location in Brooklyn, New York, which is the most populous district among the five major districts of Big Apple City. It has a total of 2.5 million residents, which is more than 95% of the city in the United States.
Brooklyn is located in the northeast of the United States, on the southeast of Manhattan Island, surrounded by the sea on three sides. It has the best quality dock in New York, which can facilitate seafood transportation.
In addition, this city has nicknames such as City of Trees, City of Home and City of Churches. Compared with Manhattan, the capital of the world on the other side, it has a local atmosphere, a more livable environment, and a wider market.
The branch is still a small building with two floors in total and the basement is particularly wide. It used to be a place where a famous non-staple food store can store meat. After a slight renovation, it has the function of an ice storage, which can display seafood well. (To be continued...)
