Chapter 280 Night Cruise on the Thames(1/3)
Chapter 280 Night Tour on the Thames
Abel and little Laura came out, of course it couldn't be just two people coming out.
Abel doesn't feel very safe in the United States.
What’s more, in a foreign country?
Although guns are banned in London, it's not always possible to say how good public security is.
After the immigration channel to Nige was opened, the security situation in Europe was often the same as that in the United States, which is difficult to describe.
Naturally, rock security personnel had to accompany us, and at least a dozen people from the Secret Service came with us.
If they all came out, more than a hundred people would crowd the street, which would be a spectacle.
Abel came to London for the first time, and at the suggestion of little Laura, the motorcade began cruising on the streets of London.
The car is driving on London Bridge, the sea and sky are the same color in the distance, the setting sun is like blood, the scenery is infinitely beautiful.
For the first time in my life, I was away from my family and traveling with my boyfriend.
Little Laura was in a very excited mood, and rarely kept chattering along the way.
Abel smiled and dealt with it from time to time, feeling that she looked like a real girl in this way.
Not that shrewd, tolerant young lady from a big family.
As the motorcade passed by London Bridge, Abel looked at the prosperity of West London on the other side and the many towering buildings. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a unique geographical advantage.
It is worthy of being the first port city in Europe, with countless international financial institutions gathered here.
Although Wall Street is powerful, Wall Street is not the only financial power in the world.
As the starting point of "finance", London is actually very important.
Just a dozen years later, this place gradually turned into a branch of Wall Street, completely losing its past glory.
Abel was thinking about what he could gain from this country.
At this time, there were still many good things in Britain.
If it were twenty years ago, after Mrs. Thatcher came to power.
That’s not just good stuff, it’s super fat!
What a pity, it is already 2001.
All the fat has been stripped away.
If you want to eat it again, you have to compete with others.
Little Laura saw that Abel was thinking about something, so she calmed down sensibly and did not disturb him anymore, but just looked at his side face quietly.
She felt that Abel looked surprisingly handsome like this, even more handsome than usual.
She thought it would be nice if she had a camera here so she could take some photos.
She felt that if Hollywood made movies related to Apollo in the future, it would be great if Abel was directly asked to be Apollo.
Just by looking like this, my boyfriend would put most of the male models and celebrities down.
What's more, in the financial field, he is simply a god-like existence.
Or is he the Apollo of finance?
This is truly an extremely powerful, magical and legendary man.
This man is mine now!
Although I had to share it with others, I was able to get the biggest piece.
So he is mine!
Under the sunset in London, little Laura thought intoxicatedly.
"Why don't you speak?"
After a while, Abel came back to his senses, hugged little Laura into his arms, and gently stroked her hair.
The girl hummed softly a few times and whispered: "I see you are thinking about something, so I'm afraid I'll disturb you."
"It's nothing, just imagining."
The convoy passed London Bridge at this time.
After London Bridge, you will find King William Street.
King William Street is a street in the City of London, the historical core and modern financial center of London.
Its northern end intersects with Lombard Street at St. Mary's Church in Wuornos, southeast to Monument Crossing, intersects with Grace Church Street and Cannon Street, and then continues south to London Bridge.
The number of pedestrians on both sides of the vehicles on the street is gradually increasing, and it is becoming more and more prosperous. As the night gradually falls, countless lights are turned on, making the scenery dazzling.
"Let's go to the nearby business district first."
I think I may start work tomorrow, and I don’t know if I can accompany little Laura then.
This time I came in her name, even though she was my own woman.
But I can't be ungrateful. I just came here today to be more excited and free.
Abel thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to go shopping with her first.
In addition, he is also a little curious about London.
You must know that when he first arrived in New York, when he first arrived in Manhattan, when he first gained wealth and freedom.
In the beginning, I actually liked driving a sports car and running around all over Manhattan.
This was how he picked up Anne and Jessica.
Not many young girls can resist the pursuit of super handsome guys who drive limited edition Ferraris and Lamborghinis.
It was later that he was taught a lesson by the traffic jams in Manhattan Island. Driving a sports car made his back hurt, and he hated sports cars deeply.
After that, he only rode in cars and rarely in SUVs.
In terms of comfort, sedans are always the most comfortable in cars.
Among the staff brought by Rock Security this time, there were two bodyguards who were very familiar with London.
In the advisory group, those who came with me were also people who were relatively familiar with European affairs.
At this time, the driver was a bodyguard who was familiar with London and was an Englishman before.
I went to the United States more than ten years ago to develop my career, and I still have dual citizenship.
In the passenger seat was David, who came over before the advisory group.
The soldiers and horses moved forward before food and grass were used. Many times, David was Abel's "food officer" when he went out.
Abel planned to spend some time with little Laura tonight. He would take her to buy some clothes first, then have dinner and do some shopping. He would not be in a hurry to return to the hotel.
Karl, an old Londoner driver, took Abel and little Laura to Fortnum and Mason's shopping mall on Piccadilly Avenue with familiar driving skills.
This is a century-old store, founded in 1707 by the royal attendant Fortnum and the grocer Mason.
In an ancient building full of fairy tale temperament.
Fortnum and Mason's department store has served the royal family of the British Isles since the Georgian period and has been a royal department store for more than 170 years.
It is precisely for this reason.
Fortnum & Mason Shopping Center has become one of the favorite shopping malls for the rich and powerful in London.
In the food hall on the ground floor of the department store, the soft red carpet leads visitors to a dazzling array of tea, coffee, jam, honey and other products, all of which are produced and sold in-house.
As the most prestigious tea department store in the UK, it would be a good idea to come here to buy British tea. From Earl Gray tea, Assam tea, Queen Anne tea to Darjeeling tea, you can find everything.
Above the second floor, there are luxury clothing and other items.
When the car arrived at the entrance of the shopping mall, the driver Karl parked the car on the side of the road and said respectfully: "BOSS, we've arrived."
Abel hummed: "Okay."
After the rock security personnel got out of the car to confirm that it was safe, Abel and little Laura got out of the car.
Seeing Fortnum and Mason Mall, little Laura's originally slightly excited eyes became brighter.
Obviously she knows this place.
In addition, this was also the first time that Abel took her to a place like a shopping mall.
"You said you have been to London several times, have you been here before?" Abel said with a smile.
Little Laura nodded and shook her head, and then said:
"I did come. But I didn't go in. At that time, my father was going to discuss an oil business. My mother took us by but didn't go in."
After all, political clans are different from consortiums and chaebols.
Children of members of conglomerates and chaebols are extravagant and wasteful. In a place like the United States, they have no fear of criticism.
Some wealthy families are even proud of this, but American society has long turned a blind eye to it.
