Chapter 1073

"Welcome, Charles and Gerald!"

"John, you've given us a problem."

"Hehe... Charles, I have provided you with a very good opportunity. I think it is the best choice for both of us, isn't it?"

"Well, Charles and John, let's sit down and have a good chat!"

"Yes, Charles, I think Gerald's words are pleasant to hear. If you're not interested, maybe there won't be this interview, right!"

"Well, John, let's talk together."

"Please...!"

“...”

After Li Feng talked with his real estate generals, Li Feng contacted Prince Charles and the Duke of Grosvenor on the same day and expressed his intention to buy the building of the Navy Tidu gate and transform it into the flagship of Waldorf hotel in London.

The building belongs to the royal family, but the building is in Westminster, the nest of the Duke of Grosvenor family. Li Feng naturally contacted it. After Li Feng's explanation, the two did not immediately refuse, but said they needed to discuss with the queen and those executives of the Royal asset management company.

Today, three days later, the Prince Charles and the Duke Grosvenor personally took the executives of the Royal asset management company to the headquarters of skyline real estate in London to discuss and negotiate the situation of the Navy governor door.

Obviously, Li Feng's proposal is still very exciting to the royal family. After all, Li Feng said to cooperate with the royal family to develop the Navy governor's door and let the royal family directly own shares. Moreover, according to the situation of London real estate, even if the hotel is officially established, the hotel itself needs to pay a land rent to the Royal asset management company.

Yes, this is the case with real estate in Europe and America. Land and buildings are basically separated. The rent alone is not a small amount, which is really a big profit for the royal family.

......

The group arrived in the conference room. After a brief exchange of greetings and introductions, the boss of skyline real estate London company made a personal explanation. First, he explained in detail the planning of the Navy governor's gate. There is no doubt that Waldorf's flagship in London is naturally a top hotel, with various top facilities, luxury suites, supporting restaurants, bars, leisure facilities, etc, Are the top enjoyment.

Then there are the relevant responsibilities and obligations to be undertaken by both parties. For example, there is Waldorf hotel operation under Li Feng, which is actually Hilton's hotel operation team; It also needs the support of the royal family and the upper class society in London. For example, the royal family puts all those gatherings in the hotel to promote the development of the hotel.

In this regard, both sides understand very well. The next step is the focus of the discussion between the two sides, that is, the rent and mutual shares. After all, this involves the ownership of such a top hotel and is of great value.

The first is to determine the lease term. After some bargaining, the long lease term of 250 years is determined. For this building, the royal family and the British government cannot sell it directly. After all, it is one of the ancient and landmark buildings in London. If you really want to sell it, it will involve face. Finally, you choose the long lease. The lease term is directly 250 years, which is also an alternative "sale".

The next is the most important issue of shares. The people brought by the royal family directly said they wanted half of the equity of the hotel in the future, which made Li Feng and others shake their heads.

"Charles, what do you think? We jointly set up a hotel management company. Skyline real estate company takes shares with professional management team and funds, and you take shares with networking resources and cash, and then buy the Navy Tidu gate and the reconstruction and decoration of Xiali in the name of the company.

Next, we will discuss the proportion of capital contribution and the discount calculation of human and material resources invested by both parties. How about it? " Seeing the managers of both sides arguing, Li Feng immediately smiled and proposed to Prince Charles.

"John, you are a general. We all know that our royal management company doesn't have much cash to compete with you!"

"My God, Charles, are you short of money? I think you really want cash. Any bank in London can ask for as much as you have, don't you?"

"Well... Don't say it, then discuss it as you say!"

“...”

......

Hearing that the two leaders of both sides set the tone, the managers below spoke and argued again. To tell the truth, it's not much different from bargaining in the vegetable market.

The result of the discussion was that finally, the Royal management company proposed that the rent should not be used, and the shares should be directly invested in the rent. According to the rent of several million pounds a year, the total cost of 250 years is not small, but it is the rent of 250 years after all.

Well, it's a bit like a white wolf with empty hands. Unfortunately, who makes the construction land owned by others? Skyline real estate will bear all the reconstruction and decoration costs of the hotel. This cost alone will cost at least £ 200-300 million or more.

Finally, it is determined that the Royal asset management company will hold 30% of the shares of the hotel in the future, including some senior executives such as finance and administration, and the hotel management and operation naturally belongs to the hotel group under skyline real estate.

For such an end result, it is acceptable for both the royal family and Li Feng. For the royal family, compared with the fixed rent income of several million pounds a year, the income of 30% of the hotel in the future will obviously be higher.

For Li Feng, it's "free" to get a suitable hotel building. Although he paid 30% of the ownership, it's very reasonable whether it's the management right of the hotel or the identity of a major shareholder. Besides, further strengthening the relationship with the British royal family is still very meaningful for Li Feng.

Seeing that the negotiations were basically completed, Li Feng instructed to sign a formal contract as soon as possible in a fast pace. However, this requires the Queen's formal consent and signature and the consent of the London municipal government. After all, this is one of the landmark buildings in London.

"Charles and Gerald, we are also the best partners and best friends. I hope to complete the signing as soon as possible. I also hope our hotel can be available in London as soon as possible. What do you think?"

"Don't worry, John. Now that it's settled, it's up to us. As long as you're ready, we can officially sign the contract no later than half a month."

"OK, then I look forward to your good news."

"Hehe... I won't let you down."

“...”

......

After settling the most important matter, Li Feng is also ready to leave London for the time being.

In the last few days, Li Feng made another tour in major companies in London. After meeting with friends from all parties several times, he finally took people back to the United States.

"Charles, it's up to you next. I'll wait for your good news."

"Boss, don't worry. Just wait for our good news."

"David, Chelsea please. I hope Chelsea will have a harvest this year."

"Boss, we are looking forward to it!"

“...”

Under the farewell of a group of his senior executives, Li Feng took people on a private plane. Under the eyes of everyone, the plane took off from Heathrow airport.
