To tell the truth, Li Feng is still very interested in what Wadley said. In fact, it has been explained that a small number of luxury hotels in the future have good business. For example, the four seasons hotel says that the occupancy rate of each hotel is very good. On the contrary, the occupancy rate of medium and low-grade hotels is not high, mainly because the threshold of ordinary hotels is too low and the competition is too big.
The annual profit of Hilton Hotel is actually very low. For example, Li Feng read the statement last year. The annual profit of Hilton Hotel is only about 10%. However, those engaged in industry, such as the supermarket industry, have less profits. The net profit of supermarkets such as Wal Mart is about 3-5%.
Sometimes think about it. No wonder the private equity funds of investment companies in Europe and America are so popular. Think about the stable funds issued by Li Feng, which can basically guarantee a return of 10% a year. It's really not less. Of course, there is a premise that those people are willing to believe that they will put money in you.
Li Feng thought about it in his heart and found that although he wanted to, his strength was still a little poor for the time being. If he wanted to acquire and develop Siji with Wadley, his strength was still a little poor. After all, his career is in a period of rapid expansion, which itself belongs to a time of lack of funds.
Although Li Feng's personal spending is extravagant, often millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, it is a personal call fee, which is only a rare one. It has little impact on the overall situation, but if there is a purchase case of more than $1 billion like Siji, and funds need to be injected for development, it will be troublesome at that time.
"Wadley, you've found me a big problem now. To tell you the truth, my rise time is still too short. If I could have three or five years, I would be very interested in talking to you, but now my strength is still too poor." Li Feng reluctantly declined.
……
Naturally, in addition to the problem of capital, there is also the problem of equity. There has been such a rumor on Li Feng's previous life online. Although Siji has Mr. Gates and Mr. Wadley holding shares at the same time, they have differences over hotel development, and both parties have almost the same estimated shares and no controlling right, This has directly led to the argument and growing differences on the development of the four seasons.
There seems to be a rumor on the previous life online that President Ma of penguin once bought Siji's overseas resorts. If Siji is in the expansion period, it is obvious that Siji will not sell such projects.
Obviously, there should be a problem behind the four seasons, and if you participate, will there be similar problems in the future? Obviously, it is a big problem on the equity of the four seasons.
If Li Feng wants to control, it depends on the current situation of Wadley. Obviously, he is also very interested in Siji and is unlikely to let Li Feng control. This is a big problem.
"Lee, I think you can think about it. This is one of the best opportunities to really get involved in building a top hotel brand." Wadley wants a little more advice.
"Wadley, this can't be solved at once. In this way, you can continue to try other partners, and I can also discuss with the investment team behind me. After all, it's not a small number to buy.
Let's say your Paris George V Hotel. I heard that you have bought it and are going to change it into the flagship of four seasons in Paris. If you want to do so all over the world, it is obviously inappropriate. After all, there is too much financial pressure. "
After hearing what Li Feng said, Wadley suspended the topic, and then the two changed the topic and chatted. Wadley is also an absolute hedonist. It can be seen from the luxurious life of later generations. Therefore, the next two found a common topic and had a very pleasant conversation.
……
"Boss, this is Mr. Charlie stani, a representative from Boeing." Just sent off Prince Wadley, and Boeing's representative came.
It turned out that Li Feng had previously declined the visit to Boeing. Boeing's private aircraft business department thought something had happened. In order to pay attention, it sent someone directly to negotiate.
"Mr. Li, this is what you asked about the 757 last time. We also know that you already have a Gulfstream aircraft, but Boeing is no worse than any company in terms of private aircraft transformation."
In the office, Li Feng, kukoschenwa and Lin Xilei sat comfortably on the big sofa together, and then watched the representative of Boeing demonstrate through slides in front of their eyes.
"This time, Mr. Li is provided with a private plane modified from 757-200f, which can take dozens of people. The specific number can be determined according to your needs, Mr. Li.
Internal modification includes master bedroom, guest bedroom, rest and entertainment room and other needs, which can be customized according to personal needs.
The maximum width of the cabin is 3.54 meters, the length is 47.33 meters and the height is 13.56 meters. There is almost 100 square meters of space, which can meet customers' private customization and modification.
At the same time, the aircraft engine adopts Rolls Royce rb-211-353 or HP pw2040. It has enough strong power. The maximum speed can reach Mach 0.8 per hour. It is a private aircraft and can be equipped with a mailbox, so that the 757, which can only fly in the middle range, can fly all over the world. "
I have to say that it is much larger than its own Gulfstream in terms of demonstration.
……
"Kelly, Kuva, what do you think?"
"Boss, can we make suggestions?" Lin Xilei did smile and squint at Li Feng.
"Of course, tell me."
"Then I think it's ok..." Lin Xilei immediately went to Kuva's side, and the two whispered to the plane.
"You see, we need a bedroom, a guest bedroom, a small restaurant and a bar. Passengers are limited to 38 seats. There should also be a rest and entertainment room with top-level audio equipment. "
"And you can..."
Finally, a group of people Li Feng joined in and brought a Boeing representative of a professional. As a result, under the advice of Li Feng, a rich man who was influenced by luxury on the Internet from time to time, for example, the faucet in the bathroom needs 24K pure gold, which makes the cost of the plane rise sharply.
Originally, it was about 80 million. As a result, it was not over until 110 million after a modification. After all, the decorations inside Li Feng are top-level goods. For example, all seats and sofas are top customized products. In particular, Li Feng also asked Boeing to install a missile defense system.
Li Feng is most familiar with the 757 in the previous life than the later CP's 757 private plane. It is said that the cost has also reached US $100 million, but Li Feng knows that his 757 is definitely more than CP's plane famous for luxury.
As for the outer fuselage, Li Feng asked Boeing to prepare to spray its own century company logo, which is mainly black and gold.
……
"Mr. Steny, thank you for coming. It saves me a lot of trouble. In that case, when can the plane be handed over?"
"If Mr. Li is in a hurry, do you mind accepting others' planes that have already placed orders but can't afford them?" After listening to Li Feng's words, Chashi Danny immediately asked.
"Tell me."
"Well, there was a customer who couldn't pay after placing an order for personal reasons. Now the aircraft has been assembled and waiting for decoration. In other words, the aircraft is still new. If it is directly refitted, it will be very fast." After that, he took out the information of the plane to Li Feng and others.
It has to be said that people who can place 757 orders should not be poor in money. The pattern of the whole aircraft is actually similar to that of Li Feng, that is, Li Feng is poor in decoration. Fortunately, today's aircraft has just been assembled and has not started decoration, so it can be used completely.
Li Feng knew the characteristics of Lao Mei, so he proposed to take over by himself, but he needed to speed up. After some conversation, people said that taking over directly, coupled with decoration, could be completed in about 1-1.5 months.
And the price is also 10 million cheaper. After all, the Boeing plane placed orders from others. Due to the customer's default, the liquidated damages alone are more than 10 million. Li Feng solved another problem for others.
After seeing off all the people, Li Feng was relieved. Lin Xilei and her daughter talked happily. After all, Li Feng placed an order. They saw such a luxury plane for the first time, which was much stronger than Li Feng's Gulfstream before. They participated in the whole process.
……
Seeing that there was nothing to do next, I couldn't help picking up the phone and talking to bill Wilbur, and then talking to Zach's office, mainly about the four seasons hotel. Tell them to organize a team discussion and combine Li Feng's identity as a shareholder.
Just as the so-called leader ordered, his subordinates broke their legs. After hanging up the phone, Li Feng joked with the two beauty assistants. Zach in Los Angeles and bill wilbe were busy.
