Chapter 268

Li Yang and Tong Shuya spent 20 days in Tahiti and returned home together. The hotel evaluation and promotional film shooting teams who had been with Li Yang had already returned home by plane a long time ago.

Some of the staff in charge of the hotel acquisition continued to stay in Tahiti to assist Mishil to complete the subsequent acquisition.

Li Yang took Tong Shuya back to China in his private plane.

After returning home, Tong Shuya was invited to participate in the piano music of the single "catching dreams" for the first time, and even went abroad in the MV, plus a piano piece solo.

Before returning home, Tong Shuya had already applied to the airline for resignation, and had been approved.

A few days after Li Yang's return, he flew to four seasons group in Toronto again to discuss the acquisition of Four Seasons Hotel George V, but the preliminary negotiation result was not ideal.

It is true that four seasons group has no plan to sell the George V Hotel, and the George V Hotel is one of the major shareholders of four seasons group, which is the hotel favored by the prince of Saudi Arabia.

So in order to buy George V Hotel, Li Yang needs to find a way to persuade the Saudi prince, alwalid bin Talal bin Abdel Azi al.

Li Yang also knows where the challenge of this mission is!

If you want to buy his favorite George V Hotel from Prince alwalid of Saudi Arabia, you can't do it by money alone. After all, they are the real top rich, and they are really good at money.

After he came back from Toronto, Li Yang asked Michel to help him collect information about alvared. After all, only by knowing himself and his enemy can he win a hundred battles. Before he goes to see the prince, he should get to know him well. At least he should know what he should do to make alvared willing to sell himself the George V Hotel.

Tong Shuya has completed the recording of the single "catching dreams" in cooperation with singer song Ziyu, and has been online.

With the popularity of "catching dreams" and song Ziyu's fame, the data of Xinge on the day of its launch were crushed all the way to the top of the list, and even swept the major short video media instantly.

The popularity of the song "dream catching" has also brought a wave of fans and exposure to Tong Shuya. After all, with the marketing team and professional operators of dream catching group operating behind the scenes, it's easy to help Tong Shuya gain traffic and attention.

With the popularity of song Ziyu's single "dream catching", dream catching group made a wave of publicity for Tong Shuya's concert "dream catching journey", and successfully sold out the tickets for several concerts.

Tong Shuya also devoted herself to the preparation of the concert. In addition to playing her famous original masterpieces such as "catching dreams" and "praise of new love", she will also cooperate with Lang Lang in a series of masterpieces, as well as some classic world famous songs.

There will also be a symphony orchestra to cooperate with the performance, so the whole operation team has a lot of work to do in the early stage. Fortunately, dream catching group has done many large-scale interactive meetings for black carbon and Doug, and has rich experience in organizing such large-scale activities.

"Honey, honey, let's do it again!"

In the piano room, Tong Shuya and Li Yang want to play "new version of love's praise" again, which is one of the finale of her concert, and "new version of love's praise" with Li Yang's piano and violin.

In the attitude towards music, Tong Shuya always strives to be perfect and do the best. In addition, this concert, Tong Shuya also attaches great importance to it and is also a little nervous, so he always hopes to try his best to connect every piece.

"Good!" Li Yang can also understand Tong Shuya's mood. In fact, he is more nervous than Tong Shuya, because he doesn't want to disgrace Tong Shuya, and he doesn't want to drag him back. After all, this is the track that audiences are looking forward to.

Therefore, in this ensemble, Li Yang also strives to be the best with an attitude of continuous improvement.

They played together again. This time is better than the last one. It can be said that the combination of melody and rhythm is perfect.

"Good to hear, this time with the really good!" A voice came from the door. Li Yang and Tong Shuya looked around. It was the music director of the concert.

"Teacher Yu, here you are!"

"Ha ha, I just listened to you playing at the door. I was afraid to disturb you, so I didn't come in. I just cooperated very well this time!" Teacher Yu clapped his hands and said.

With the teacher's approval, Tong Shuya is very happy and relieved.

"But I don't feel like I'm playing very well!" Li Yang said.

"It's already very good. You two have a tacit understanding. The concert will be held in five days. If you practice again these days, you will have no problem at that time!" Yu said.

"Husband, you are already great. There are few violinists in our school who can play well with you!" Tong Shuya also gave Li Yang great affirmation.

In fact, the reason why she took Li Yang to practice repeatedly is mainly to run in their cooperation. Even if two top artists come together, it will take a long time for them to practice together. Only after running in can they do their best.In the evening, Li Yang received information from mishir, which is about Saudi prince Alwaleed.

Li Yang carefully looked at the prince's information, and could not help but have a new understanding of the prince. In fact, Li Yang's impression before was that the prince was just a Saudi prince who became rich by relying on oil, just like those coal owners.

However, when he read the prince's information, his heart was a sigh, which is also a legend.

He is not only a member of the richest and most mysterious Saudi royal family in the world, but also an outstanding businessman and investor.

The name of Warren Buffett in the Middle East speaks for itself.

Although the Saudi royal family lives an extremely luxurious life relying on the rolling oil dollars, the prince is still a self-made man compared with other princes.

In fact, it is estimated that there are 10000 to 12000 princes in Saudi Arabia, and oil dollars can only guarantee them about 15000 dollars a month for their living expenses. The reason why Prince Alwaleed can be the best among them is that he is also the most hardworking billionaire on earth.

His grandfather was king Abdel Aziz Al Saud, the founder of Saudi Arabia. He unified and established modern Saudi Arabia in 1932.

The prince was born in Riyadh, capital of Saudi Arabia, in March 1955. His father is the king's 21st son and his mother is Princess Mona soleh, daughter of Riyad soleh, the first Prime Minister of Lebanon after independence.

At the age of 14, his father sent him to the military academy in Riyadh, where he became the youngest soldier in Saudi history.

In 1976, he went to the United States to study alone. During this period, he studied assiduously and never gave the impression of a dandy.

In 1979, he received a bachelor's degree in business management science from Monroe College of California with honors. After that, he obtained a master's degree in social sciences from Syracuse University.

After returning home from school, he got his first venture capital loan of $30000 from his father.

And he got 400000 dollars after he mortgaged a house his father gave him.

He just used these capitals and his own network to do trade agency and contract business. In just a few years, his annual profit reached tens of millions of dollars.

Then, he foresaw in time that the high welfare policy implemented by the government relying on petrodollars would greatly stimulate the domestic real estate market. He decided to buy a large area of real estate in the capital Riyadh, laying the foundation for him to become the largest private real estate owner in the future.

With prince's success in construction and real estate, his wealth has grown rapidly.

After that, he established "Kingdom Holding Company" and extended its tentacles to other fields.

In 1986, he became the largest shareholder of the United Bank of Saudi Arabia, which has been losing money for years. In 1989, he transformed the United Bank into the most profitable commercial bank in Saudi Arabia. These early years of business experience accumulated "the first bucket of gold" for prince to sell to the international market.

After that, he successively invested and held a series of international well-known enterprises, including Citibank, Coca Cola, Pepsi, McDonald's, Disney, Motorola, AOL Time Warner, Ford, Amazon, eBay, Kodak, Xerox, four seasons hotel, etc., becoming the largest foreign individual investor in the United States.

With the rise of Huaxia economy, the prince also focused on Huaxia. When BOC was listed, he spent $2 billion to buy 2.7% shares of BOC, and held them as a strategic investment for a long time.

And taking a stake in BOC is just the tip of the iceberg of alvared's strategic investment in China. He has also made many investments in China since then, taking a stake in many banks.

One of the investments that attracted Li Yang's attention was his first direct investment project in mainland China many years ago - Kunshan Swiss Hotel.

In the next few days, Li Yang not only accompanied Tong Shuya to rehearse his concert performance, but also carefully studied the information about alvared and thought about the entry point and way of negotiation with him.

As time goes by, Tong Shuya's first concert was successfully held in Mingzhu City, and received a lot of cheers. Whether it was solo "catching dreams", ensemble with Lang Lang Piano or violin with Li Yang, it became the highlight of the concert and was loved by the audience.

With the holding of concerts, Tong Shuya's reputation in the circle is steadily improving, and the popularity of the song "catching dreams" has made this piece of music, which is a perfect transformation from piano music to song, a hit of the year.

In the twinkling of an eye, it's November, and major satellite TV stations have begun to prepare for the new year's day and Spring Festival Gala. As one of the phenomenal music on the Internet this year, "catching dreams" has also been included in the program list of major satellite TV stations.

All kinds of copyright licensing applications are pouring in, and Mingzhu satellite TV, modu satellite TV, mango satellite TV, and even CCTV have invited Tong Shuya to perform.

Among them, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala program is that Tong Shuya and song Ziyu work together to perform the song "catching dreams".

This makes Tong Shuya really excited for a while. It's a good chance for many entertainment stars to be on the Spring Festival Gala, let alone Tong Shuya.Li Yang also knows that Tong Shuya is really going to be popular this time. In fact, through the operation and packaging of the team, Tong Shuya, as a performer in the piano field, is almost as famous as Langlang in China, and even has more attention and fame on the Internet than Langlang. Of course, this is only on the level of fame and traffic.

now has almost seven million fans of micro-blog, tiktok fans and nearly twenty million fans. The "dream capture" Piano related works and short videos are as high as millions of dollars. This time, the invitation of the big TV Gala will also completely lay down the road of fame for Tong Shu Ya.

It is estimated that after the Spring Festival Gala, Tong Shuya's reputation will be close to the first-line stars.

I really want to have a star girlfriend. Think about it It's delicious!

With the end of Tong Shuya's concert performance, the rehearsals for new year's Eve parties have officially started. In addition, Tong Shuya has also received many recording invitation for interview programs and variety shows, and even some advertisements.

Compared with the past, Tong Shuya seems to be more busy, but fortunately, they are all in China and will not fly around the world like before, so it is very easy for Li Yang and Tong Shuya to meet or get together.

……

"Mr. Li, the meeting with alwalid was about 14 pm on December 8, Saudi time!" Michelle walked into Li Yang's office and said.

At this stage, with the completion of the acquisition of the two Tahiti hotels, Michel also came back from Tahiti to assist Li Yang in studying the meeting with alvared to discuss the acquisition of George V Hotel.

With the help of Michel, Li Yang finally straightened out some ideas and found some methods, although he did not know whether it would work or whether he could successfully complete the negotiation.

But instead of talking on paper, it's better to really meet the Saudi prince and have a real face-to-face communication. Even if it's not successful this time, it can at least better understand the other party's psychology, even if it's good to make a friend.

"OK, let's arrange the schedule." Li Yang said.

Three days later, Li Yang and mishir took a private plane on a trip to Saudi Arabia. Their destination this time is Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

Riyadh used to be a small desert city with an area of less than one square kilometer, but with the rolling wealth brought by oil, it has been built and developed for decades.

It has become one of the most famous garden cities in the Arab world. It not only has the prosperity of an international metropolis, but also has the unique culture and religious atmosphere belonging to Arabia.

When they arrived in Riyadh, it was just noon local time. After having lunch in their hotel, Li Yang and Michel drove to Alwaleed's residence.

It was a manor built in the desert, not far from Riyadh.

In fact, Li Yang's appointment with Prince Saudi this time is also through four seasons group. After all, Li Yang is also one of the current shareholders of four seasons group. In addition, he is very active in the global resort hotel industry recently, so Alwaleed is also full of expectations for the arrival of this rookie from China's hotel industry.
