Lost eight hundred million at the beginning

The official opening ceremony of the hotel was scheduled for the next day's dinner.

As the investor of this project, Lin Ruoyan spoke a few words briefly, leaving more opportunities to speak to Hua Mengmeng and Li Yiqi.

Hua Mengmeng, as the person in charge of Lin's real estate hotel sector, is young and beautiful, and she speaks Y very fluently. She confidently introduces the entire hotel business landscape of the group, especially emphasizing the business hotels with domestic characteristics, traditional courtyard house series, and boutique hotels in Hangzhou. .These beautiful pictures were played on the big screen along with her narration, and the ancient oriental charm deeply attracted the foreigners present.

Li Yiqi's main job is still a student at school, the person in charge of a medical equipment company, but she has devoted a lot of effort to the project of renovating the old hotel.From ignorance of architecture to now she knows all the details of success in the hotel, her sense of accomplishment and pride is beyond words.

In addition to telling the before and after changes of this hotel, he also introduced the company's products, such as beauty equipment and myopia treatment equipment.Sure enough, it has attracted widespread attention.

This opening is more like a special promotion meeting for European elites, introducing the existing special businesses of Lin Group and Lin Real Estate.

At the same time, the guests invited to the opening dinner, the big names in the hotel industry and the design industry also spoke.They made a pertinent evaluation of the hotel, where there were praises, but also pointed out some deficiencies.

The next thing to implement improvements is the hotel operator.This is a professional team of hotel brands in country Y. They accept opinions with an open mind and express a beautiful vision at the same time.

It is hoped that through this project, it can demonstrate its own service capabilities and at the same time open up a wider market.For example, are there any opportunities for cooperation in the Lion City?And in the mainland, Mr. Lin has invested in a lot of hotels. Is there any chance?

When people were willing to take over this small-scale boutique hotel, they valued Lin's hotel projects, high-end mansions and influence in the Mainland.

Lin Ruoyan originally wanted to introduce the operation experience of the international high-end hotel industry and carry out localized improvements.She has already set up a property localization company for the luxury house project. If the brand of the international hotel industry is introduced, how much benefit and improvement it can have will be discussed later.After all, people are rushing to the mainland to make money.

Overseas hotel brands are easy to get stars and international recognition, and the fees for other brands are also expensive.After localization, the hard work is done by Chinese people, and most of the profits earned every year are taken away by overseas brands, so it is not worthwhile.

Lin Ruoyan reminded Hua Mengmeng of the key points and asked her to negotiate with her and stick to the bottom line. Even if the negotiation fails, they cannot let foreign capital take advantage.

This is the same as the cooperation with Hua Na. Before signing the contract, all kinds of matters about the future breakup should be considered, and it is not for long-term cooperation.

Most of the guests who came this time had their own family's main business. Li Yiqi mainly contacted them about cooperation opportunities related to medical equipment, but Lin Ruoyan found a company representative who had made achievements in the mining industry.

The family of Mr. Lamond has a long-standing surname, and the previous generations had marriages with European royal families. Later, they also accumulated a lot of wealth by developing and operating the oil and minerals in the colonies.It is said that the company controlled by his family will also invest in the copper mine project in Africa this time.

Mr. Lamond obviously also heard that Lin's Real Estate and Panshi Metallurgy are also investing in African mines, so he chatted with Lin Ruoyan with a certain arrogance of European nobles.

The other party spoke Y language, Lin Ruoyan called a professional translator to accompany her, and after listening for a while, she probably understood the other party's meaning.The other party thinks that her hotel is not bad, but it is also because the designer is an excellent European architect, and the construction and supervision, including the follow-up operation, are also excellent companies in Country Y, which is why it is recognized and successful today.

In terms of industrial development, the leaders in the fields of metallurgy, art and design still depend on Europe, and those countries in Asia are relatively backward.The implication is that the mines in Africa should be developed by Europeans in order to make full use of them.If it is handed over to young companies like Lin's Real Estate and Panshi, their own technical reserves are weak, and it is thankless to be reluctant.

"Your labor is good at building roads. I suggest that you can fight for the road construction project from the big city to the copper mine. If we win the bid in the future, we can also consider subcontracting part of the project to your company."

It's very arrogant to say this, as if the whole project is already in their pocket.Lin Ruoyan listened "modestly" on the surface, but actually wondered why the other party's confidence was so strong, so she must investigate carefully.

That night, Lin Ruoyan told Panshi about the situation, and Panshi also mentioned the company.

Panshi had previously learned from other channels that this company already had other mining projects in progress in Africa, and had an arms deal with the power in that country.If the upper-level contacts are very close and lured with profit, maybe the local management will succumb.People are profit-seeking, and no matter how much they think about the people on the surface, they still have to take their own interests into account.

In addition, regarding the arms trade, Lin Ruoyan had to think about why there was war in this country back then.Admittedly the end result was good, there was peace and the people in power were better off than before.But what if there was no war in the first place?Can the local people carry out economic construction earlier after independence?
The war caused the country's development to stagnate or even regress. The war brought suffering to the local people and also fattened a group of weapons suppliers.

This ancient European family sold weapons in one hand and controlled local mineral resources in the other. They tried to act as the emperor behind the scenes, and they really made it. The local managers in front of the stage were nothing more than agents of capital.

Lin Ruoyan originally wanted to get some information from the system, but she didn't expect that the system wouldn't get in, and she had to choose a specific man who was interested in order to answer questions in a targeted manner.

So Lin Ruoyan used other channels to get the name of a local official who had a good relationship with Lamond's business, but luckily it was a man.He is dark-skinned but not very young. He was just an adult when he rose to power with the people in power today. More than ten years later, he is only in his early thirties and is already the person in charge of the local energy and mining industry.

Lin Ruoyan said: "How about Jamarani? Looking at the photos, he is also a very distinctive local man, young and promising, and powerful. I will cooperate with him on African projects. Is it worth spending some money on him?"

The Prodigal System swallowed its saliva, and after getting used to it for a while, it said: [The host is playing so well now, you have to try another race? 】

Lin Ruoyan held back her anger and said patiently following the logic of the system: "Yeah, what did Lamond use to bribe him? Money, beauty, or a promise to immigrate to Europe? And what can I use to convince him?" How about homecoming?"

With a targeted investigation object, the prodigal system was still able to dutifully inquire about the man's secret information, and gave the answer after a while: [Jamarani is the current confidant of the country's president, a powerful faction, and he will be even older in a few years The older one is expected to be the president's successor.The probability of his immigration is not high. If his family emigrates, he will lose the chance to run for president. 】

"Oh, it seems that the local people have also learned to be smart. They know that for people who really care about the people, the whole family must stay in the country." Lin Ruoyan asked, "Then what reason does he have to be taken advantage of by Lamond's company? Is it? For example, illegally trading arms, or failing to repay debts, or doing something wrong?"
