Yes, Prince Wadley, who met once in Paris, that is, the world-famous Saudi prince, Li Feng also attended one of his cocktail parties in Paris. It was also there that Li Feng had the opportunity to pocket Migao Mei.
If it hadn't been for the reception, I wouldn't have met bookmaker cork and French dignitaries, and there would be no MGM. In this way, Prince Wadley is still a noble man of Li Feng.
"Hey, Lee, you're famous now. You've entered 50 on the Forbes list. I can't compare with you now. This happens to be the opening of the board of directors of apple. I'm also a small shareholder of apple. I'd like to congratulate you this time."
At this time, Li Feng also reacted. Prince Wadley seemed to have invested in apple in the early 1990s, but his shares are not many. Now they are about 5%.
Before Apple's board of directors, Li Feng had been elected as a new member of the board of directors. Although there were few nominal shares, many people still knew that jobs could rise quickly due to the sudden emergence of share support.
As for where the shares came from, they were quickly investigated and all supported by Li Feng. Obviously, Li Feng actually controls much more shares than shown.
Li Feng has no doubt about this. After all, the representatives of those board members behind represent consortia, large groups, families and so on. It's really simple to investigate this thing.
……
"I'm just lucky. As you can see, I can't run the company. Those things are not my credit, they're just luck." Li Feng smiled and replied modestly to Prince Wadley.
"It's just luck. We should have a good communication in the future. We have to take me with us." Wadley replied solemnly to Li Feng.
"Ha ha..." a burst of laughter came, showing Li Feng's humility and making everyone laugh. Naturally, no one will take it seriously. After all, Li Feng is definitely famous now.
In addition to these two people, representatives of Li Feng investment company and a group of four staff came out of the elevator. They all went to apple to sign contracts with others, and now they have been signed by each other.
In addition to our own people, there are several lawyers representing the other party. After Li Feng signs here, he will return with the documents.
First, he went to the conference room. Then, under the witness of jobs and Prince Wadley, Li Feng picked up some writers to sign. Finally, he drank a glass of champagne to celebrate. After that, he saw off several representative lawyers, representing 10% of Apple's shares.
Naturally, they are all in the form of hidden funds in the name of private funds. At least Li Feng's Apple shares on the book are still the original 5%, without any change. Most of these private funds are registered and established in tax havens.
……
"John, this should be the last time you increase your stake in apple?" Just back to Li Feng's spacious office, gang leader Qiao asked Li Feng in an uncertain tone.
"Well, Steve, I promise you, this is the last time. Besides, didn't I tell you that my representative at Apple will fully support you on the board of directors in the future. " Li Feng looked at the Qiao gang leader in front of him and couldn't help laughing and crying.
It seems that today's Qiao gang leader is really a bit frightened. It seems that the memory of being driven out of apple before is a little deep.
After that, gang leader Qiao saw nothing and left. Prince Wadley, who should have left, unexpectedly stayed, which made Li Feng and Steve mutter in their hearts.
"Lee, I really have something to discuss with you this time. I wonder if you are interested in the four seasons hotel?" Seeing Li Feng looking at himself with a puzzled look, Wadley explained his intention directly to Li Feng after gang leader Qiao left.
Hearing the prince's words opposite, Li Feng couldn't help being stunned. Then he thought excitedly in his heart: "I'm interested, of course I'm interested."
However, his face was silent. In his previous life, it seemed that Prince Wadley was looking for Mr. Gates. They became the controlling shareholders of Siji. Now how can they find themselves.
"What do you mean, Wadley? Are you going to buy the whole four seasons?" Although he knows the history of future generations and that Siji was later made one of the world's top luxury brand hotels by Wadley and gates, Li Feng asked suspiciously.
……
"Lee, you may know that I now own 25% of the shares of Siji, but I know very well with sharp, the founder of Siji. He does mean to sell Siji's shares, but he asks him to run Siji.
He is worried about the future development of Siji. After all, building a top luxury hotel requires careful financial support. Obviously, sharp doesn't have such a big capital. Therefore, if there is a big capital willing to support him, he is willing to sell shares.
I really want to build my own top hotel brand, such as Waldorf, Peninsula Hotel and other top luxury brands, but for the time being, my financial resources are a little difficult, so I'm looking for partners. "
After that, he shrugged and said that he had found you on Li Feng. Obviously, in Wadley's view, Li Feng is a good partner. After all, Li Feng's stake in Hilton Hotel proves that Li Feng also has the intention to enter the hotel industry.
"Wadley, you should know that I have taken a stake in the Hilton Hotel, and I have had exchanges with the old Hilton. In the future, he will gradually trade some of the Hilton shares to me. Then I will own the Hilton Hotel Group. I don't think I need to join the four seasons." Although he was very excited, Li Feng still asked with a smile.
"Lee, I think you can sell the shares held by Hilton. It's more cost-effective to use the money to buy Siji. Besides, although Hilton is one of the largest hotel chain groups, it's a pity that it is too scattered, resulting in the top luxury brands under your hand lagging behind other brands.
Another is that today's Hilton Hotels are only within the territory of the United States. Foreign hotels are controlled by London Hilton Group. The two companies are controlled separately. It is definitely a weakness for Hilton's global strategy. I don't think Lee can't think of this.
Besides, from building a new top brand to enjoying the success, I think it is definitely more attractive to build a new brand. "
……
"Well, do you have any plans for the next four seasons?"
"Lee, I knew you would be interested. I think so. We can directly build the hotel through our own real estate company, and then operate through the ready-made operation and management mode of four seasons hotel.
Because of this, sharp will consider selling Siji's shares. After all, it really needs a lot of money to build it. Only those rich consortia will be able to do so. "
Now Li Feng is no longer a little white. It is clear that Wadley's idea is that people want to invest in building hotels themselves. If they are launched all over the world, they need to look at the capital for each hotel.
At the beginning of his previous life, Li Feng always wondered why the market value of the world's largest chain hotel such as Hilton Hotel was 20 or 30 billion. It was not until later that he learned that most of the properties of those hotels were not Hilton's, but just applied the Hilton brand.
What Wadley means is that he mainly invests in the construction. The capital is not a small number. Naturally, he can rent a site or something.
The main thing is to directly invest in hotels, but such hotels are often very risky. If the market is a little worse, they will face huge capital pressure.
In fact, today's four seasons hotel is not a top hotel. Four seasons hotel made the four seasons hotel become one of the synonyms of luxury hotel after Wadley participated and later gates participated, and then with the support of these two people.
