Rebirth

313 Goodbye Wadley

That’s right, it was Prince Wadley, who had a fate in Paris, and the world-famous Saudi prince in later generations. Li Feng also attended one of his receptions in Paris, and it was there that he had the opportunity to let Li Feng. Include MGM in the bag.

If it weren't for that reception, I wouldn't have met the gambling king Cork and French politicians, and there would be no MGM. In this way, the Prince Wadley is still Li Feng's nobleman.

"Hey, LEE, you are very famous now. Forbes has entered 50. I can't compare to you now. This happens to be the board of directors of Apple. I am also a minority shareholder of Apple. Congratulations. You."

At this time, Li Feng also reacted. Prince Wadley seemed to have invested in Apple in the early 1990s, but his shares are not a lot, now it is almost 5%.

Before Apple's board of directors, Li Feng had been selected as a new board member. Although the nominal shares were not many, many people still knew that Jobs was able to quickly rise to the position because of the sudden emergence of share support.

As for where the shares came from, they were quickly investigated, and they were all supported by Li Feng. Obviously, Li Feng actually controls more shares than shown.

Li Feng doesn't doubt this at all. After all, the representatives of the board members behind are all consortia, large group families, etc. It is really simple to investigate this.

...

"It's just good luck. You have also seen that I don't know how to run the company. Those things are not my credit, just luck." Li Feng smiled and replied modestly to Prince Wadley.

"It's not just luck. We have to communicate well in the future, and we have to take me if we have the opportunity." Wadley replied to Li Feng solemnly.

"Hahaha..." A burst of laughter came, showing that Li Feng's humility made everyone laugh.Naturally, no one takes it seriously, after all, Li Feng is definitely famous now.

In addition to these two people, representatives of the Li Feng Investment Company and a team of four workers came out of the elevator. They both went to Apple to sign a contract with them, and they have now received their signatures.

In addition to the people on this side, there are also a few other attorneys who will reply with the documents after Li Feng signs here.

First, he arrived in the conference room. Then, under the witness of Jobs and Prince Wadley, Li Feng picked up a few signatures, and finally drank a glass of champagne to celebrate and bid farewell to several lawyers representing 10% of the apple. The shares are in the bag again.

Naturally, they are all hidden funds in the name of private equity funds. At least Li Feng's Apple shares on the book are still 5% of the original. There is no change. Most of these private equity funds are registered in tax havens.

...

"John, this should be the last time you increase your holdings of Apple shares?" After returning to Li Feng's large office, Qiao's helper quickly asked Li Feng in an uncertain tone.

"Well, Steve, I promise you, this is the last time. Besides, didn't I tell you, my representative at Apple will fully support you on the board in the future." Li Feng looked at him. Qiao's gang leader couldn't help but laugh and cry.

It seems that the current Qiao Gang is really a bit shocked, and it seems that the memory of being kicked out of Apple before is a bit deep.

Afterwards, the Lord Qiao left after seeing that there was nothing to do. Prince Wadley, who was supposed to leave, stayed by accident, causing Li Feng and Steve to mutter in their hearts.

"Lee, I really want to discuss something with you when I came over this time. I don't know if you are interested in Four Seasons Hotel?" Seeing Li Feng looking at himself with a puzzled expression, Wadley was after Joe's helper left. Then he explained his intentions directly to Li Feng.

Hearing what the prince on the other side said, Li Feng couldn't help but stayed, and immediately thought in his heart excitedly: "I am interested, of course I am interested."

However, there was a calm expression on his face. In the previous life, it seemed that Prince Wadley was looking for classmate Gates. The two became the controlling shareholders of Four Seasons. Now how come they are looking for themselves.

"Wadley, what do you mean, are you ready to buy the entire Four Seasons?" Although you know the history of later generations, understand that Four Seasons was later built by Wadley and Gates students into the world's top luxury brand hotel One, but Li Feng still asked in confusion.

...

"Lee, you may know that I now own 25% of the shares in Four Seasons, but I know the founder of Four Seasons Sharp very well. He does intend to sell the shares in Four Seasons, but he asks him to run Four Seasons.

He is worried about the future development of Four Seasons. After all, building a top luxury hotel requires careful financial support. Obviously, Sharp himself does not have such a large capital. Therefore, if there is large capital willing to support him, he is willing to sell his shares.

And I really want to build my own top hotel brand, such as Waldorf Astoria, Peninsula Hotel and other top luxury brands, but for the time being, my financial resources are a little bit difficult, so I am looking for cooperation By."

After speaking, he shrugged and said that he found you Li Feng.Obviously, in Wadley's view, Li Feng is a good partner. After all, Li Feng's stake in the Hilton Hotel proves that Li Feng also has plans to enter the hotel industry.

"Wadley, you should know that I have taken a stake in the Hilton Hotel, and I have also communicated with the old Hilton. In the future, he will gradually trade the shares of Hilton to me. Then I will own the Hilton Hotel Group. I don't think I need to participate in the Four Seasons." Although he was very excited, Li Feng asked with a smile.

"Lee, I think you can completely sell the shares in Hilton's hands. It is more cost-effective to use the money to acquire Four Seasons. Besides, although Hilton is one of the largest hotel chain groups, it is a pity that it is too scattered, leading to the top luxury. The brand has fallen behind other brands.

Another is that the current Hilton Hotel is only within the territory of the United States, and the foreign ones are controlled by the London Hilton Group. The two companies are controlled separately. It is definitely a major weakness for Hilton's global expansion. I don't think Lee will Can't think of this.

Besides, from building a top brand to enjoying its success, I think it’s definitely rebuilding to be more attractive."

...

"Well, do you have any plans for the next four seasons?"

"Lee, I knew you would be interested. This is what I think. We can directly build the hotel through our own real estate company, and then operate it through Four Seasons' ready-made operation and management model.

Because of this, Sharp will consider selling the shares in Four Seasons. After all, it does require a lot of capital to build it. Only those wealthy consortia will have the ability."

Now Li Feng is no longer a novice. Hearing this situation, he clearly understands Wadley's idea. He wants to invest in building hotels by himself. If he expands globally, he needs to look at funds for every hotel to open.

At the beginning, Li Feng, in his previous life, had always wondered why the world’s largest hotel chains such as Hilton Hotels had a market value of two to three billion. Only later did he realize that most of the hotel properties were not owned by Hilton, but just applied. It’s just the Hilton brand.

But what Wadley meant was mainly for his own investment and construction. The funds are not a small amount, naturally, you can also rent venues.

The main thing is to directly invest in the construction of hotels, but such hotels are often very risky. If the market is slightly weaker, it will face huge financial pressure.

Today’s Four Seasons Hotel is not actually a top-level hotel. It was after Wadley’s participation and later Gates’ participation. With the support of these two people, the Four Seasons Hotel became a luxury hotel. One of the pronouns.
