I'm a chaebol in South Korea

Chapter 251 Heavyweight List

It feels very comfortable to get along with Lu Rong, not only can feel her professionalism, but also can experience the ambiguity between lovers.

Occasionally, they would joke with each other like friends and talk about everything.

This woman has her unique charm.

Not the kind of desire that makes people just want to possess, but a natural magical affinity.

It makes people unconsciously want to get closer to her and get to know her more deeply.

"Trust me, that day won't happen."

Li Zhenyu's eyes were clear, and he responded jokingly like an old friend.

Lu Rong smiled helplessly, and said, "That's really... a pity."

Shrugging his shoulders noncommittally, the car arrived at its destination.

East Manhattan, Park Avenue, Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

This old luxury hotel with a history of more than 100 years has witnessed and participated in many important events in modern times.

For example, Li Hongzhang lived here when he visited Europe and America and visited New York.

At the end of World War II, the four gangsters signed the "World Peace Agreement" here.

The wife of Emperor Nihong, settled here after Eisenhower's death.

Churchill, Charles de Gaulle, Elizabeth and other political figures have stayed here.

Monroe often held dances here, and the Rolling Stones also performed here.

The "New Millennium Manifesto" was also born here...

On the 60th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, 32 heads of state stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, and the five permanent heads of state held bilateral talks in the hotel and even talks with many countries in the UN headquarters.

Since then, it has been nicknamed "Little United Nations".

The original location of the hotel is not here, it is now the Empire State Building.

After being demolished, the hotel re-selected its current address and rebuilt the world's first skyscraper hotel at that time, which was also the tallest and largest hotel in the world at that time.

Today, she set off again after the renovation and walked into the hotel. The historical deposits that can be seen everywhere give people a heavy sense of depression.

It makes people slow down unconsciously and keep their voices low in respect.

Walking to the front desk, Li Zhenyu also saw the famous slogan: If it is difficult, do it immediately.Impossible, it can be done in a few minutes.

This is the motto of Waldorf Astoria, and it is also the belief that it has always adhered to.

Being recognized by the heads of 32 countries means that Waldorf Astoria has really fulfilled its service commitments as stated in the declaration.

"Boss, how do you feel?"

Boarding the elevator, Lu Rong, who had been watching him all the way, wanted to know what he thought of the hotel.

"good, very good."

Li Zhenyu has to admit that the feeling here is completely different from Silla.

In Silla, everything winds up like clockwork.

Every greeting, smile, demeanor is standardized, and he used to think it was good.

But now, Li Zhenyu completely changed his mind.

Perhaps he should suggest that Li Fuzhen come here to have a look, it is best to stay for a few months to experience the Waldorf culture deeply.

As soon as he thought of it, Li Zhenyu immediately dialed her number.

"Zhenyu?"

Li Fuzhen's slightly hoarse tone was full of doubts, he should understand himself.

But if he knew himself, he shouldn't have called at this time.

"Sister Fuzhen, have you ever been to the Waldorf Astoria in New York?"

Opening a topic, Li Zhenyu told her how he felt in the hotel, and strongly suggested that she come to experience it as soon as possible.

Promising that he would go by himself, the two ended the call.

After putting away the phone, Li Zhenyu's worries were relieved, and he finally found a suitable reason to check on her situation.

Judging from the conversation just now, Sister Fuzhen's mood should be very unstable recently.

He drank a lot, as evidenced by his hoarse voice.

However, other than that, her mood didn't fluctuate much, and she was relatively calm.

So, don't worry about her overreacting.

Although in his memory, Li Fuzhen left at a price of hundreds of billions.

But this is not the world in memory after all, it is more reassuring to confirm.

After doing all this, Li Zhenyu asked, "Why did you bring me here?"

If there was no purpose, Lu Rong would not have asked him how he felt just now.

"Hilton has plans to sell this premium brand, and I think Universal should buy it."

"We are an investment company, not a hotelier."

"I have discussed this with Hilton, and the other party can continue to manage it on its behalf and charge corresponding management fees."

"why?"

Why did Hilton sell the hotel and agreed to manage it on its behalf.

"Their financial situation is not ideal, and the cost of maintaining the brand value of Waldorf Astoria is too high."

Li Zhenyu didn't speak, but Lu Rong understood what he was waiting for.

"Huanyu needs a good reputation, and more importantly, recognition from the upper class. Both of us are outsiders in this country.

Therefore, more than others, we need the history and respect recognized by the people of the United States. "

This reason convinced Li Zhenyu, and it was indeed as Lu Rong said.

A good reputation is very important in any country in the world.

Especially in this damn hypocritical country that seems to be free but actually discriminates all over the place.

Since they are powerless to change the world, they will become as hypocritical as they are.

"I love freedom."

Li Zhenyu spread his hands and shouted like the protagonist of an opera.

Lu Rong stared at him for a few seconds, raised his hands with a sudden smile, and shouted: "Yes, I love freedom."

Want to acquire such a historic and influential luxury hotel brand.

The price is ridiculously high!
After Lu Rong made initial contact with the other party, he received an offer of US$15 billion.

Moreover, the other party does not accept any stocks, bonds, or collateral, of which 10 billion must be paid in cash.

"Year 5?"

Li Zhenyu thinks this time limit is very reasonable, paying 5 billion US dollars in 10 years.

Lu Rong shook his head and said, "Two years, if the situation cannot be reversed in two years, Hilton will be in big trouble."

In other words, the time left for Hilton is only 2 years, and they don't have 5 years to wait.

Five years later, whether Hilton is still there is a problem, even if he pays off the balance, what's the point.

"2 years..."

Entering the room, Li Zhenyu fell into deep thought and began to consider the feasibility.

Two years later, he is confident that his worth will increase several times.

But worth and cash are always two concepts.

$10 billion is not a small amount.

But considering the value represented behind Waldorf Astoria, Li Zhenyu thinks it is worth the figure.

"I agreed, try to keep the price down."

Seeing that he agreed, Lu Rong said happily: "I will, Boss, you will not regret today's decision."

Becoming the owner of an established hotel will help him a lot in his future career.

The day he got the hotel, he would realize it clearly.

This is better than a deal, Lu Rong can say with certainty: He will never be disappointed!

With an affirmative answer, Lu Rong left the hotel.

Li Zhenyu also began to prepare for tomorrow's meeting. Many old friends came to this financing meeting.

Capital, Pioneer, BlackRock, Prussia, these veteran capitals that have shown up at the Facebook financing meeting, many of them have come.

Gray Locke, a veteran venture capital firm founded in 1965, is among them.

Founders Fund, a newly established company in 05, invests in companies such as Yammer, Path, Spotify, Gowalla, and Slide.

Now, of course, that includes Facebook.

Sequoia Capital, Neon SoftBank...

Microsoft and Li Bancheng are also on the list, as well as old acquaintances of Google Capital, Steve and Lu Rong's old club, Goldman Sachs.

A simple piece of paper almost wiped out many big names in the investment field.

Tomorrow's meeting is bound to be a grand event in the investment field.
