Hong Kong's new giants

The girls immediately became excited. They didn't doubt Lin Zuhui's words at all, and expressed their loyalty again. By the way, they even flattered Wang Lingyin.

"Okay, let's stop talking about these 'money and money' matters, it will affect the atmosphere of our family." Lin Zuhui stopped in time again.

Everyone laughed, this family is really different, everyone is convinced, and the body is even more convinced.

The reason why Lin Zuhui decided not to pay these women anymore is because it is really unnecessary. It is not a problem for him to turn 100 billion into 20 billion in 1000 years.Moreover, there is also a family office that pays 2400 million to one family member every year, which is enough for everyone to live.

More importantly, he will start taking care of Singapore's three beauties and the new five beauties, which means he has eight more women to take care of.

Chapter 671 [Sister Hilton]

In early November.

USA, Virginia.

About 8 months have passed since Barings acquired Hilton Hotel Group, and Lin Zuhui came to the new headquarters of Hilton Hotel Group for the first time.

"Mr. Lin, you are welcome to inspect the work!" Hilton CEO Chris Nassetta, along with several senior executives, greeted him respectfully.

Hilton Hotel Group, it is good to give it to a team of professional managers; but don't forget that Barings Bank is an investment bank.

The so-called investment banks are not only responsible for acquisitions, but also responsible for 'replacing the management team' and 'making business strategies' of the acquired companies.

In this way, the acquired companies can "turn losses into profits", "develop and grow", and then "list" or "re-list" at an optional time, and the shares in the hands of investment banks will become "increasing", this is investment. Bank 'remuneration'.

This means that the Hilton Hotel was actually operated jointly by the 'Chris Nassetta team' and the 'Bahrain Bank team' during the eight months since it was acquired.

Of course, Chris Nassetta's team is responsible for more, and Barings is more of an auxiliary effect.

"I heard that the Hilton Hotel Group has achieved some results. I'm very happy to come and see it." Lin Zuhui said with a smile.

He still thinks highly of the team of professional managers, although if they do not do well, he can directly fire them; but in fact, the cost of dismissal is greater than the cost of hiring, this is the system in Europe and the United States.

Of course, under heavy rewards there must be brave men, and these talents have indeed played a very good role for the company, bringing great returns to the boss and shareholders.

"I hope to get your affirmation! This way please, I will show you around the Hilton headquarters first." Chris Nassetta said modestly.

As a professional manager and hotel veteran, he still maintains a very high admiration and respect for Lin Zuhui, a successful person in all fields.

Lin Zuhui nodded, and accompanied by Chris Nassetta and other management teams, as well as Harold, the vice president of Barings Bank, visited the headquarters of Hilton Hotel.

Originally, the Hilton Hotel was headquartered in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, but in order to save costs (office costs, labor costs), it moved to Virginia; at the same time, the top management of the Hilton Hotel also took on a new look.

During the inspection, the working staff applauded and welcomed it. This was definitely not organized in advance. Lin Zuhui was very sure, because Europe and the United States seldom do this kind of thing, and Lin Zuhui was enough to convince these people.

After inspecting several departments, Lin Zuhui saw a brand-new energetic team, and everyone returned to the conference room.

Chris Nassetta reports:

"The management of Hilton Hotel has been adjusted, and we have also formulated the next work plan, mainly to further promote the Hilton Group's franchise strategy and significantly reduce operating costs, as well as expand new hotel brands."

"We plan to expand the number of hotels and rooms by more than 30% within five years, that is, the number of hotels will reach more than 3500, and the number of rooms will increase to 60. The expansion speed is faster than that of our competitors such as Marriott Group and InterContinental. .”

"Hilton Hotel Group, the original franchising model is very good. We can use as little capital as possible to expand the excellent model of hotel business. Using this model, we can use very little investment or even no investment. Brand hotels are blooming everywhere..."

The report was very detailed, and Lin Zuhui saw the hope of making a lot of money.Now Lin Zuhui has a huge amount of capital, even if there is a 5% return rate every year, he thinks it is very cost-effective.

As for the Hilton Hotel Group, Barings Bank only spent 50 billion U.S. dollars, and the rest were leveraged loans and assumed debts, which do not count as acquisition costs at all; because leveraged loans can be repaid through debt-to-equity swaps and Hilton profits, and these debts are in Hilton itself. under the hotel group.

Therefore, assuming that Hilton Hotel was listed in 2005 with a market value of 200 billion U.S. dollars, and Barings Bank’s shareholding value is 150 billion U.S. dollars, then Barings Bank will earn 100 billion U.S. dollars; .

In short, this business makes a question of 100 billion US dollars, or even more.Lin Zuhui even considered retaining the position of major shareholder and only selling a part of the stock for cash.

After all, Hilton hotels are premium assets.

Lin Zuhui asked: "Has the new hotel brand been promoted?"

Chris Nassetta reported in earnest: "A team has been formed to carry out systematic engineering, and I believe that a complete plan can be formulated next year..."

The target guests of this hotel brand are very clear, who are the creators of fashion trends. The hotel brand will also cooperate with major technology companies and famous Hollywood directors to produce short films about the hotel.

In addition to this new type of hotel brand, Lin Zuhui also made a plan in his heart to take advantage of the impact of the '9.11' incident to take advantage of the opportunity to acquire some hotel brands at low prices and incorporate them into the Hilton Hotel Group.

In this way, the market value of listing in the future will naturally be higher, and the rate of return of Barings Bank will also be higher.

For this new brand, it can be seen that Chris Nassetta's team attaches great importance to it, and all work is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Finally, Lin Zuhui asked: "What about the project in cooperation with Bulgari?"

Chris Nassetta said: "The contract will be formally signed soon, and the two parties will each hold 50% of the equity to create a 'Bulgari Hotel' and position it as a high-end luxury hotel brand."

Lin Zuhui nodded. He liked the Bulgari Hotel in Shanghai in his previous life.

Bulgari is a luxury jewelry brand, and cross-border high-end hotels are full of topics; coupled with Bulgari's long history, strong brand, and the management of Hilton Hotel, it is easy to succeed.

……

At the end of the inspection tour of the Hilton Hotel Group, Lin Zuhui and everyone took his special plane to New York.

At the invitation of Barron Hilton, the second-generation Hilton family who once owned the Hilton Hotel Group, they attended a dinner specially prepared for him at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York.

Waldorf Astoria Hotel is known as "the originator of luxury hotels". The world's first Waldorf Astoria Hotel is located in Manhattan, New York, USA, and opened in 1893.It is a luxury hotel brand under Hilton and is recognized as a world-renowned luxury hotel.In history, countless celebrities have stayed at the Waldorf Astoria New York, including former British Prime Minister Churchill, former French President Charles de Gaulle, Queen Elizabeth II and other dignitaries; it is also sought after by celebrities and rich people. Marilyn Monroe used to come to dances, and the Rolling Stones came to perform.

Such a luxury hotel full of luxury and history, in fact Lin Zuhui is its owner now.

In the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, it is said that there is a suite specially prepared for the Hilton family. Lin Zuhui is a little strange, will they pay for it?

Of course, he is not a stingy person, after all, his hotel group is still someone else's surname!What's more, if there is a bad relationship with the Hilton family, it will definitely have an impact on the entire brand.

Lin Zuhui, Chris Nassetta, Harold and others came to the banquet hall, and the 70-year-old Barron Hilton came up with his family members.

"Mr. Lin, I am very glad that you can come to the banquet where I specially invited you!" Barron Hilton said like a gentleman.

Barron Hilton is 72 years old this year, and he has owned the Hilton Hotel for 30 to 80 years. He is a real master; it was not until the end of the [-]s that he sold most of the shares to others; and in the acquisition last year, he sold all the remaining shares sell.

This is a wise old man, Lin Zuhui made an evaluation in his heart.

Selling the Hilton Hotel Group was not what he wanted, but none of his eight children wanted to study and manage with peace of mind, but only wanted to enjoy the family wealth; so he sold all the shares in a fit of anger and exchanged them for cash into the family fund inside.

He even said: "If you want to spend more money, you can earn it yourself!"

Lin Zuhui said modestly: "I should take the initiative to visit you!"

In the eyes of many ordinary people, Barings Bank is an investment bank that has nothing to do with Lin Zuhui; action.

"Haha, Mr. Lin is indeed very humble. If I can achieve your achievements in my 30s, I must not be as good as you. Of course, because of this, my achievements are not as high as yours."

"Mr. Barron, if Hilton did not have you, I believe it should not be the world's number one hotel group. You have made great contributions to the process of Hilton's globalization. If it were me, maybe it would not have been done by you." good."

There was a burst of business exchange, which drew in the relationship between the two parties. Baron Hilton then introduced him to members of the Hilton family.

In fact, Barron Hilton also took the opportunity of inviting Lin Zuhui to ask Chris Nassetta, Harold and others about the development plan of the Hilton Group. The louder the family.

Because 'Hilton' is their last name.

The banquet went smoothly, and the guests of honor smiled and talked.

"Miss Paris, are you worried?"

During the period, Lin Zuhui came to Paris Hilton and asked in a gentlemanly manner.

Paris Hilton is the well-known "Hawk Sauce Socialite" and Kardashian's "Master" in later generations.

The young girl is so preoccupied at the banquet that she doesn't even seem to want to participate in such a banquet, so she is naturally very eye-catching.

Paris Hilton raised her head abruptly, and asked curiously, "Can Mr. Lin see what's on the girl's mind?"

Lin Zuhui saw that the main figures of the Hilton family were talking with Chris Nassetta, Harold and others, so he decided to tease this girl.

To be honest, Paris Hilton is not very beautiful because she has a square face, but people cannot rely on looks alone.

In short, Lin Zuhui has some interests.

Lin Zuhui pondered for a while, and then said: "I think you must have suffered a lot of grievances. This grievance may be due to your family's distrust or misunderstanding. Of course, I hope my thoughts are wrong. I have no intention to provoke you and your family. relation."

Paris Hilton's expression changed drastically, mixed expressions of shock and aggrieved complex.

Lin Zuhui knew that he guessed right, but in fact he didn't guess at all, he seemed to remember that it was the same thing - this girl seemed to be raped by the staff at school, but when she told her mother, her parents didn't believe it at all.

It's just because Paris Hilton went to a special school for those troubled teenagers.

"Mr. Lin, are you staying in this hotel today?"

"I live in room XX!"

"May I come to your place later that night and talk to you?"

"No problem, I believe that at this time, many people are willing to help you out of the trough."

In a very short time, the two ended their conversation without attracting much attention.

Talking to Barron Hilton again, he said: "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, in the suites of this hotel, our Hilton family has been enjoying the luxurious suites for nothing, so I plan to let them move out of here and find their own accommodation. "

Lin Zuhui hurriedly said: "Mr. Barron, please don't do this. The Hilton family will always be an important part of the Hilton Hotel. There is a saying in our East - it's justified... Therefore, we will always keep the Waldorf Astoria for the Hilton family. Hotel suite."

When Barron Hilton saw Lin Zuhui's sincere demeanor, he immediately felt very useful.

"I've asked them to find a new place to live, and they've already made arrangements." He said, looking at his many sons, daughters and grandchildren.

Lin Zuhui thought for a while and said: "The room is still prepared for the Hilton family. We will not arrange new guests to stay. It will always be the suite of the Hilton family. I believe that if the Hilton family has a party, they will definitely miss this place, so we always Keep it, whether it's your long-term stay, or occasional vacation or party..."

"Well, thank you very much Mr. Lin for your generosity!"

"There, from a business point of view, we made money."

"Ha ha"

It can be said that after this matter was finalized, except for Baron Hilton, his children and grandchildren all showed surprises.After all, the members of the Hilton family are not rich, because Barron Hilton is a very stingy 'father and grandfather', who injected all the wealth worth 30 billion US dollars into the family fund and did not distribute it to them.

But now in one of the most luxurious hotels in New York, they can come and stay at any time, which is simply a very considerable benefit.Even, some of them don't plan to leave New York.

……

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Paris Hilton came to Lin Zuhui's suite, and saw her wearing a light-colored dress with hope in her eyes.

"Miss Paris"

"Mr. Lin"

The two sat on the sofa, and Lin Zuhui poured her a small glass of red wine.

"Can you tell me what happened to you?"

Paris slowly talked about what happened to him, and when he talked about fear, he threw himself into Lin Zuhui's arms and choked.

Lin Zuhui patted the eighteen girl's back and smelled the girl's fragrance. Of course, he didn't do anything excessive. It was obvious that he had already got his hands, so why bother, because he lost his gentlemanly demeanor.

He held Paris's shoulders with both hands, pushed them to a certain distance, and said seriously: "When you are successful, everything you say is the truth, so you need to change yourself. Otherwise, even if you sue now, there will be little I personally would like to believe you. Of course I certainly do, Paris."

After speaking, he gently wiped away the girl's tears.

Paris was shocked, and then said: "But when I think of those things, I become very decadent!"

Lin Zuhui comforted him with kind words, and Paris looked much better.

"How can I be successful, so that they will believe my words and reveal the true colors of those demons? Lin, tell me, if you are so successful, you can tell me, can't you?" Paris held her tightly Lin Zuhui's arms and expression showed dependence.

There is no way, Lin Zuhui was the first person to open her heart, even with a few words, it has already made her unforgettable forever.

Lin Zuhui said: "Because there is no evidence for what you said now, so if you say it now, it may not have much effect. Therefore, you need to continue to complete the remaining one-year course. Fortunately, you have left that school and can Back to normal school."

Paris asked again: "But I don't want to go to college anymore, I want to be successful! My mother told me since I was a child that I must marry into a rich and famous family, but I think what you said just now is more reasonable, and the only way to succeed is to be successful." Best, I want to hear from you."

Good guy, this is already dependent!

Lin Zuhui didn't tell her immediately, but looked at Paris, his eyes even sized her face and figure.

Paris came up directly and began to be passionate.

Lin Zuhui was naturally not polite...

Chapter 672 [Interlude on a private jet]

The next day.

In the early morning, Lin Zuhui 'pinched' awake Paris, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, with blond hair and blue eyes, and a good figure.

"Don't get caught, Paris!"

Paris rubbed her blue eyes, and then regained the youthful vigor she should have at this age. Through the psychological counseling and physical counseling last night, she has ignited confidence and vitality in her future life.

"Lin, are you afraid?" the little girl said playfully.

Although Lin Zuhui was really afraid that the matter would be exposed, he would lose face after all, but nothing else. After all, Yingjiang's atmosphere is so open. Even if he was found out, the Hilton family would at most persuade Paris to see the fact that Lin Zuhui was married and think carefully about himself. things.
