646. Luxury
Dong Qiangqiang thought Lao Bai would refute this sarcastic aura, but Lao Bai seemed to turn a blind eye and was not angry at all. "It's still time for dinner. Are you planning to eat first or shop first in the afternoon? Or go to a hotel to make the jet lag?" he asked.
Many international flights are really hard to describe. Lao Bai's words were good intentions, but it was obvious that those who listened to them did not have the intention.
"This person is so funny. We are not flying so far to eat." Someone curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Who is still missing the meal these days..."
"That's right, the tour guide is not very good at first sight, his hair is so white, so he is not a patient, right?" an aunt whispered loudly to another aunt.
"It's hard to say that this travel agency is bad enough. If you find such a person to receive us, you have to complain and ask for a refund when you go back..." Another aunt said angrily, "I asked for money first. Who are you going to teach me a lesson? I spent money to be God, not a sucker..."
Neither Lei Lanting nor Tong Lele had the experience of bringing the group, and he didn't know what to say at this time. When Dong Qiangqiang saw this, he was about to stand up and say a few fair words for Lao Bai, he was grabbed by Lao Bai.
"Since everyone agrees, let's shop today." Lao Bai didn't seem to mind the other party's unreasonableness at all, just waved his hand, "Go to the Milan Cathedral now."
"We don't want to look at the church, we want to shop." The young girl's eyes rolled almost to the sky.
"Yes, we are not easy to fool." Someone echoed.
"Are all those who go out for travel now so arrogant?" Lei Lanting leaned behind Dong Qiangqiang and lowered his voice, "The words are all out of the way. This is a choking thing to find trouble..."
Although there were people in the group I led before who were not easy to talk and unwilling to tip, Dong Qiangqiang felt nauseous when he saw the woman who made him feel sick for the first time today.
Lao Baitou opened the car door without looking back: "There is a shopping center next to the church, so you can be satisfied."
"This attitude is almost the same." Seeing Lao Bai admitting his conscience, someone shouted from the winner, "Drive quickly and don't waste our precious time."
The two business cars were instantly stuffed with people and luggage. Dong Qiangqiang's car drove the way and soon arrived outside the Milan Cathedral.
Milan is known as the "fashion capital" and "luxury goods center". Among the international brands that domestic consumers are familiar with, half of the country originates from Milan. At the same time, Milan is Italy's largest and strongest industrial center. With the two golden signs of "luxury goods" and "industrial center", Milan naturally surpasses other Italian cities and becomes one of the most important economic centers in its country and even Europe.
Churches in Europe are like temples in Asia, and famous churches are the temples with the most incense and the most pilgrims. People from all over the world come to worship all year round.
Although they are all churches, the Milan Cathedral was built in the Renaissance (before the Forbidden City, which was built in 1406), and it has a long history in Europe. Thanks to the massive number of skilled craftsmen during the Renaissance, the church was built magnificent and majestic. It is said that there are more than 2,200 large and small statues inside and outside the church. In addition, the commercial golden area located in the center of Milan (actually, the commercial street is taking advantage of the popularity of the church), when you poke it, it naturally brings a kingly aura of bird's eye view of all living beings.
The commercial street next to the cathedral is a promenade pedestrian street with glass domes, which is known as "the most beautiful commercial street corridor in Italy". The corridor is a cross-shaped structure, with arched steel frames built on the top and sky blue glass embedded in it. The retro design is verified to maintain the architectural taste since the 19th century.
Like the commercial streets in other parts of the world, in addition to the dazzling array of luxury shops, there are also various Italian and foreign cuisines, as well as opera houses, art galleries, art museums, castles, statue exhibitions, and even models' live fashion show.
Before going shopping, Lao Bai repeated the precautions again and then opened the car door. The female group members who were ready to rub their hands could no longer contain their excitement, and jumped out of the car excitedly, looking like they were injected with chicken blood. The male group members looked faintly frightened, as if they had seen their ill-fated fate.
The other party had 12 adults and one child. Lao Bai and the others adopted the strategy of staring at three people each and guarding each other. Lei Lanting was especially afraid to be careless. Since he heard Dong Qiangqiang's retelling, he saw that all these people seemed to be running away at any time. Although he had already collected everyone's passports, he still did not dare to relax. Dong Qiangqiang was right. If the other party really wanted to disappear, it would definitely not be something that a passport could stop.
Among the four, except Lao Bai had never been to Milan. Following the group members, the three of them looked at the shopping paradise in front of them nervously and novelly.
The corridor is crowded with people, and all kinds of luxury brands can be seen everywhere. It is the best afternoon light. The bright sunshine in early spring is projected through the dome and the various colors of glass in the corridor, reflecting the entire corridor, magnificent, magnificent and magnificent.
The women carrying large bags and small packages came out of a shop with a smile, and then went into the next shop without stopping, leaving their men in the cafe outside the shop.
At this moment, no matter what language the men speak, their hearts are connected: money, things outside the body, can only gain if you give up.
"I think this is actually no different from the Wangfujing Commercial Street in Beijing." The three girls who Lei Lanting, who were in charge of catching up, stayed in a jewelry store for almost 20 minutes and had no intention of coming out. Lei Lanting breathed a little relieved and commented, "It's just that things are more expensive, and the brands are all foreign languages. In fact, they are the same in their bones. When bargains are expensive, they become luxury goods. I heard before that during the Renaissance, China's weaving carpets, exquisite porcelain, and high-quality tea were all luxury goods sold in Italy and even Europe, hard currency."
"But unfortunately," Tong Lele corrected, "Many of the luxury goods that are still popular in Italy can be traced back to the Renaissance, but the three you mentioned are no longer recognized luxury goods worldwide. Although it is not only luxury goods recognized by foreign countries that are considered big-name luxury goods, time has passed, our things have no past glory, and others are still alive. This is the gap."
"It's just that Italians can promote it," Lei Lanting argued dissatisfiedly, "If it were me..."
"Stop talking, pay attention to people." Old Bai, who was standing a few meters away from the two, looked like a knife, and looked at the wolf, "Be careful of the gypsy women who came over."
