Rebirth
Chapter 182 Hilton's Equity Analysis (for the first million rewards plus the second update)
The helicopter returned home directly. Li Feng picked up the phone again and made a call. People including Redondo and others contacted for a while, and then Li Feng thanked him. After all, a group of people called to express their condolences during the shootout in Li Feng New York. Up.
It was more than 4 in the afternoon, and I was finally busy for a while, thinking about contacting Aishwarya to say that I had dinner together in the evening, so I immediately washed up, brought the prepared flowers and small gifts, and was surrounded by security personnel. The manor.
When I rushed to Aishwarya’s apartment, only the hourly servant was there. This was what Li Feng helped to find before. After all, I asked my woman to do it herself for three meals a day, wash the dishes, etc., that’s true. I can't explain it.
At this time, Jiaren was still busy at school. Li Feng suddenly became interested and sent the servants to go back. He ordered a group of his staff to help buy ingredients to prepare a dinner for the beautiful woman by himself, so as to be moved by her.
I have to say that the effect of simple courtesy is still leverage. When Aishwarya, the Indian goddess, came into the apartment and saw Li Feng wearing an apron and holding a shovel, he was immediately amused and moved.
Especially when Li Feng gave flowers and gifts to the beautiful woman in time, the beautiful woman was moved even more. Regardless of the oil on Li Feng's body, she hugged Li Feng for a kiss.
Let the beauty go to wash herself first, and Li Feng returned to the kitchen again while she was touched by the beauty and began to fiddle with dinner.
......
After a warm dinner, facing the beautiful lady whose face turned red from drinking a few glasses of red wine, perhaps she was moved by blinking with big watery eyes and charming little dimples, how could Li Feng, a coyote, hold her back? .
Regardless of the after-dinner tableware piled up on the table, I got up and hugged the lady and walked towards the bedroom, preparing to do my favorite exercise after the meal...the cows are exhausted, the fields are also broken...the result is 404 .
Sitting in the car, thinking about his performance last night, Li Feng was immediately moved. Perhaps it was because he hadn't seen it for a while, or because he was full of alcohol or was cooked by Li Feng himself. Moved, the lady took the initiative last night and caused Xiao Li Feng to spit out foam three times, which was a complete release for Li Feng.
Of course, the beautiful lady was completely paralyzed at the time. I have to say that the woman's talent is extraordinary. When Li Feng woke up in the morning, he did not see Aishwarya and left a note saying that he was going to school. , I can’t sigh that recovery is really fast.
After returning home to wash up, I took the pleasant assistant Zhou to the company.In the following days, Li Feng returned to the easy days before.
Going to Aishwarya’s apartment every day to accompany the beautiful woman, occasionally amused the beautiful assistant or Yu Feihong’s light bulb, or listen to the tutor’s class, it really is a boundless life.
......
"Boss, you see, this is the general situation about the Hilton Hotel and the group." A few days later, Bill Willibey arrived at the office and said to Li Feng.
"Oh, let me take a look, you can also talk about it." Li Feng then smiled and took the file, flipped through it, and said to it at the same time.
"In general, the Hilton Hotel is actually divided into two parts, one is the American Hilton Hotel Management Company, which is mainly responsible for the business in the United States;
Another party is Hilton International, a New York-listed company, but the company is registered in the UK. In addition to the hotel business, there is Hilton’s most profitable gaming business.
In the 1960s and 1980s, it was acquired and changed owners three times. Strictly speaking, in a legal sense, apart from using the same Hilton name and brand, it has no relationship with American companies.
Of course, it was Mr. Barron Hilton who proposed the separation of international business in the 1960s. It was under his leadership that he separated Hilton International and went public to collect money.
Mr. Barron Hilton and the Hilton family fund have appeared in all subsequent changes.
......
In fact, I found that Hilton International’s business mainly uses Hilton’s major brands. Hilton International has not directly used its investment business, which means that the use of Hilton’s name allows international companies to make a lot of money.
In this way, the company can grow rapidly all over the world. Coupled with the huge profits of the gaming industry, it is natural that Hilton International's financial report data has performed well and the company's listed market value has also risen all the way.
On the contrary, in the local companies in the United States, all hotels are developed and invested by themselves. This is the real physical asset."Bill Willy Bay said with a smile.
"That is to say, although the two Hiltons are completely separated in law, they are still controlled by the Hilton family secretly, just don't know the specific shares." Li Feng listened to Bill Weilibei's words and immediately confirmed with a smile Tao.
"It's true, otherwise Barron Hilton will not be able to remain unshakable as the chairman of the Hilton Group." Bill Willibey replied with a smile.
In the eyes of professionals who are good at playing with capital, such as Bill Willy Bay, the Hilton family's play is very clear.
......
"Sure enough, even though these families say they use family assets for charity or something, in fact, most of them are still in their own hands." Li Feng smiled and said to himself.
"BOSS, most people are selfish. Saints may have them, but there are only a few. Most of the rich will pass on their assets to the next generation, but the way they pass is different.
In fact, the main reason is that the United States pays too much tax on inheritance, so the rich have to think of various methods."Bill Willy Bay replied with a smile.
"In the case of Hilton America, in addition to the Hilton Family Charity owning 25% of the shares, Barron still has a relatively small share, and a family trust fund owns part, which totals about 40%, which is enough for the Hilton family to control.
Similarly, although Hilton International does not see how the specific shares are, the so-called Ryderbrook Group (predecessor of Hilton Group) once spent three times acquiring Hilton International as a whole, and finally changed its name to Hilton Group. It's the Hilton family's purpose to cover people's ears."Li Feng said.
"That's roughly the case. In other words, although the Hilton family has only a few billion dollars in property left in name, the family assets it actually controls are several times more." Bill Welibei replied confidently with a smile.
......
"So, can you talk about the possibility of us taking a stake in Hilton?"
"BOSS, the best way is actually to directly acquire Hilton International, and then directly acquire Hilton America in the name of Hilton International, so that the two companies will become one again." Bill Welibei said with a smile.
"I think too, but where can I get so much money, even if I use leverage to do it, it is impossible for my small body to leverage the behemoth that is currently worth tens of billions of dollars for me." Li Feng was not angry. Said to it.
"Let’s do it, Bill, let’s buy as much of our shares as possible now, and get a seat on the board. There is no need to manage anything. After all, people are professional. When we become stronger, maybe Barron may sell Hilton. Maybe." Li Feng said mockingly.
"BOSS, hope!" Bill replied with a helpless smile.
......
What Li Feng didn't know was that when he said it, he really let himself talk about it. This is the history of his previous life.
In 2007, the Blackstone Group used 6 billion cash (private equity funds) and 20 billion US dollars of leveraged economic debt to make major banks complete the acquisition of Hilton Group.
It is said that because Barron Hilton was really old at that time, he didn't have the energy to manage anymore, and his descendants were ineffective, so he finally sold Hilton reluctantly.
Acquisitions like the Hilton Group were also a sensation in 2007. After all, they were acquisitions of tens of billions. Unfortunately, Li Feng in his previous life had any intentions to care about Hilton. Therefore, he is not clear about this matter.
