The Industrial Giant Reborn

Perhaps in the near future, Chen Zhiwen will also participate in housing investment, and there will be certain internal benefits at that time. However, the housing price in a few years may be very different from now. It is not a problem for employees to want to buy discounts, but liquid It will not go back to the price of a few years ago.

The time after the year has become more leisurely, but for the Hilton Hotel, it is like sitting on pins and needles.

"Damn it, this Du Guoming actually handed over our data to the police." In an office of the hotel, Silas lost his temper.

The Chinese next to them didn't dare to speak at all, and another American, Allen, shook his head and said, "No way, we can't compete with the rich in terms of capital."

At the end of last year, the Hilton Hotel and the owner Xinghe were caught in a game, that is, one side wanted Du Guoming to disclose the data, and the other side was unwilling. Then under the circumstance that both parties could be investigated for criminal responsibility, the Xinghe side promised that even if Du Guoming went in, even His assets were seized by the Hilton Hotel, and a large sum of money will also be given to his family.

How much it costs is the words of the boss of Xinghe, but Hilton Hotel is not good, small money is not as good as Xinghe, big money needs the approval of Hilton’s US headquarters, let’s not talk about whether the US headquarters can agree, this is the process, and the day lily will be cold when it is approved Besides, even if it’s not cold, Galaxy can increase the price within a few minutes, and Hilton will go through the process of applying for funding approval from the US headquarters again?

And misappropriation of funds is even more unacceptable. Doing this kind of thing at this juncture is easy to be discovered. Once caught, it will only lead to a worse death.

In the end, after nearly two months of tossing, Du Guoming still couldn't take it anymore after spending a year in the detention center. He told the ICAC and the police some undisclosed secrets he knew and the data that Xinghe needed. In the end, the ICAC The Commissioner's Office officially launched a comprehensive audit and investigation of the entire Hilton Hotel.

"Then what should we do now? In a few days, we will be fully investigated." Silas said with a frown. This kind of comprehensive investigation is an investigation authorized by the court. It is completely different from ordinary annual audits. Many secrets cannot be passed. Check it out.

Their hotel has not cheated on taxation, but there are some loopholes for the owners and even the US headquarters. Moreover, many high-level executives have more or less problems, especially when someone is doing internal work, how can they stand up to strict investigations? ? Once a few more people are found, these people will also respond internally in order to protect themselves, which will only trigger a chain reaction.

"Now there is only one way to find Chen Zhiwen. He is the owner of the hotel. From a legal perspective, as long as he pursues the case, the police and ICAC must investigate. If he does not pursue the case, even though the case has been filed, it can still end with the best possible result. ” said Hilton Legal Counsel.

"This guy doesn't see me at all. You can't let me block his office?" Silas said with a frown. It was not good for their future when it spread to the United States, but unexpectedly, Chen Zhiwen didn't care about them at all, and only sent one of his subordinates to meet. At that time, Silas felt that he was insulted, so naturally he didn't go to the meeting. Let it go.

"Then we have to be sincere. For example, the report for the last quarter of last year has been changed to profit sharing." The legal counsel continued.

"That's okay." Silas looked at Alan and said, "According to the actual accounts, we will pay Xinghe the dividends for the fourth quarter, and at the same time ask to see Chen Zhiwen."

"No problem." Alan nodded. He couldn't wait to end this matter now. As the person in charge of finance, he was investigated by the police on a large scale. No matter who had a problem, he might be involved.

"Chen Sheng, this is the last quarter's annual dividend information sent by the Hilton Hotel just now." An Qi sent the document just received to the boss as quickly as possible.

"Oh, so proactive." Chen Zhiwen was just looking at Red Bull's financial information and was feeling bored. When he heard about Hilton, he immediately became interested.

He took it and opened it for a while, then said with a smile, "The last quarter made a profit of 900,000 Hong Kong dollars. This change is really fast."

"Now that the profit dividend is being sent, is Hilton Hotel ready to admit defeat?" An Qi said with a smile.

"It's only 900,000 Hong Kong dollars. For a hotel in Central, the rate of return is not as good as depositing in a bank." Chen Zhiwen said disdainfully. If the property of the Hilton Hotel is converted into an office building, even if the real estate market is not so good now Okay, the annual rent must be tens of millions.

"Here is another letter, the general manager of the hotel, Silas, wants to meet with me." Chen Zhiwen said again.

"Then do you want to arrange it?" An Qi asked.

"See you then." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

The next afternoon, in the presidential suite of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Chen Zhiwen met the man who controlled his biggest fortune.

"Chen Sheng, I'm very glad to meet you." Silas looked "sincere", as if the two had just met and there was no conflict.

"Mr. Silas, maybe we should have met a long time ago." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile. Since purchasing the Hilton Hotel, Chen Zhiwen was actually not very interested in meeting the management of the Hilton Hotel. He didn't care about the hotel at first. It’s worth it, just arrange it for your subordinates to operate it, but if you don’t see it, you won’t see it, and the top management of the Hilton Hotel didn’t even send someone over to get acquainted. Although the hotel management has absolute management rights, Chen Zhiwen didn’t expect such a lack of face. up.

"It's all for business. Chen Sheng also knows that the economy is not good recently, and tourism and business travel are relatively poor. In order to maximize the benefits for the owners, we can only do our best." Silas smiled. Said.

"The business of this Mandarin Oriental Hotel is good. The location of Hilton is much better than here. By the way, Mandarin Oriental Hotel belongs to Hongkong Land, and Hongkong Land is a listed company. The approximate financial situation of Mandarin Oriental Hotel, the stock exchange The financial report announced over there has information, I think the Hilton Hotel should be no worse than here, right?" Chen Zhiwen said indifferently.

"Chen Sheng, the location of the hotel is very important, but it is not the only factor in the decision." Silas said calmly.

"That means management is incompetent?" Chen Zhiwen said coldly.

"." Silas was at a loss for words, and quickly changed the subject and said, "Chen Sheng, we may have misunderstood in the past, but we are all partners, we can discuss things together, there is no need to involve government agencies such as the Independent Commission Against Corruption in the company Otherwise, if there is a big problem in the hotel, Chen Sheng, you will suffer a lot."

"Not a small loss? You mean a quarterly loss of 300,000?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"Now that the economy has picked up, I guarantee that it will definitely be the last time. In the future, Chen Sheng's investment in the Hilton Hotel will definitely get rich returns." Silas said.

"No one knows what will happen in the future, let's talk about the past?" Chen Zhiwen said lightly: "You and I both know what's going on, and I don't want to waste time. If you want the ICAC to stop the investigation, that's fine, but only if I will authorize a third party to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the entire hotel's finances. Since 1961, your financial information should be kept for 15 years, right? That is to say, there should be all of them?"

"1961?" Silas was taken aback, and said, "Chen Sheng, the Hilton Hotel previously belonged to the American Wingo Group, and the previous incident has nothing to do with you?"

"I bought the Hilton Hotel property from Yonggao, so how come it has nothing to do with me? Or do you want me to contact Yonggao in the United States? Do you think they are willing to help you or help me?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, the former Hilton Hotel It’s not too dark for Yonggao. When it can make money, Yonggao may turn a blind eye or close one eye, or because it is not in Hong Kong, many things are not clear, but now, the cooperative relationship is long gone. Who wouldn't be happy if they could make a little more money?

"Then if something is found, what does Chen Sheng want?" Silas asked.

"I only want the part that should belong to the owner. In addition, in the future, the finance department of your hotel will give me a job." Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said.

"No matter what the outcome of this matter is, it will take a long time. I need to discuss it with the US headquarters. The ICAC's action is about to start. Please ask Mr. Chen for a little more time." Silas said with a frown .

"Don't even think about it. It's either action or it's over. You think the ICAC is run by my family, so you can do whatever you want?" Chen Zhiwen refused.

"OK, if there is any further news, I will inform Chen Sheng. If there is nothing else, I will leave first." Silas saw that the negotiation was not appropriate, but he also got the bottom line of the other party, so he left and left.

Chen Zhiwen didn't stay for long, so he turned to go home, and later told his father about it.

Chen Tianfu nodded and said: "You have handled this very well. It is not good to have a fight with an international hotel group like Hilton. If you are in a hurry, they will directly withdraw all the current group of people from the United States and replace them with another one." There is nothing you can do about this group of people, now that the home court is in Hong Kong, you have the advantage, once all these people go back to the United States, the Hong Kong government may not be able to do anything about it.”

"I think so too. This kind of thing is actually just to frighten the Hong Kong team. No matter how big the trouble is, it can't threaten the Hilton Hotel." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile. Star chain hotel groups, what kind of storms have not been touched, which hotel team is clean?

What is happening in Hong Kong now, if it is spread to the United States, it may not be taken seriously there, but for the current Hong Kong team, it is a big trouble. What Chen Zhiwen needs to handle is the Hong Kong team, let them The previous inventory, how much can be spit out, and at the same time, be more honest in the future.

As long as the other party is willing to make concessions and abide by the rules in the future, then everything will be normal. Otherwise, Chen Zhiwen may not be able to do anything if he is really found out by the ICAC.

Three days later, Chen Zhiwen received another urgent fax from the Hilton Hotel. The hotel officially invited Chen Zhiwen, the owner, and arranged for a financial person to stay in the hotel.

Five days later, as the owner, Chen Zhiwen withdrew the lawsuit against the Hilton Hotel, and the investigation by the ICAC naturally ended. At the same time, Chen Zhiwen invited the largest financial audit company in Hong Kong to start a comprehensive financial investigation of the Hilton Hotel.

It took half a month, and Chen Zhiwen had more evidence in his hands. Until this time, Silas and the others discovered that they were completely controlled by the other party, but they couldn't blame others. For Hong Kong hotels, the US headquarters can't control too much, and the owner is also in the United States, which is very rare among the countless Hilton hotels.

Under normal circumstances, the owners are basically local and supervise the hotel management at all times, but there is no such thing in Hong Kong. After a long time, they have become more natural and more casual, and they have not covered up many things. Now the local owners have turned against the generals, and some of them have been found out.

Although it is only a small part, if it is announced, they will either go to a prison in Hong Kong or go back to the United States, because Hilton headquarters will not let them go

In the end, as a last resort, they also spit out most of their illegal profits.

"It seems that you have made a lot of money?" Chen Tianfu asked with a smile when he saw Chen Zhiwen sitting on the recliner shaking himself.

"It's just eight figures." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"Eight figures? Ten million? Good guy, these people earn more than I have in my entire life?" Chen Tianfu was surprised.

"Normal, if you think about it, the five-star hotels in the prime location of Central have not been supervised for more than ten years. Gave them some."

"Then you won big this time, didn't you invest much before?" Chen Tianfu said with a smile.

"It's okay, and I just have a good relationship with the police. It may not be useful in the future, but it's better than not being needed." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, "Besides, I don't care about a mere 10 million."

"." Chen Tianfu was speechless for a while, let's not talk about it today, your father and I have a total asset of just over 10 million.
