XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

International news media reported extensively: "Barings Bank spends 218 billion US dollars to acquire Hilton Hotels!"

Hilton Hotels Corporation, the world's largest hotel group and a symbol of the American hotel industry, was unexpectedly acquired by a European investment bank with Chinese background.

It caused huge waves at once!

Some media reported: "Of the total acquisition funds of US$218 billion, the Bank of Bahrain actually only provided US$50 billion, and the rest was loans provided by major global banking consortiums. This kind of treatment is usually only available to American investment banks, but now the major banking consortiums have extended this huge loan based on the reputation of Lin Zhengjie and the Bank of Bahrain. It has to be said that this 'businessman of the century' is full of legends!"

European media gave a lot of praise, because a large part of the funds raised this time came from European investors. If the Barings Bank succeeds in this deal, it will undoubtedly be a boon to European investors.

After Barings Bank officially reached an agreement to acquire Hilton Hotels Corporation, Lin Zhengjie also went to the United States to participate in this event. Of course, he was not a direct manager of Barings Bank, so the first event he attended was the meeting of Barron Hilton, the second-generation head of the Hilton Family.

The reception was held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel under Hilton Hotel, a very luxurious hotel with a rich history. In the past century, the tradition of every American president staying in the hotel's presidential suite began with President Hoover. After leaving office, President Hoover moved directly from the White House to the private suite in the tower of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, where he lived for 30 years. Many foreign leaders who visit New York, the United States, choose to stay at this hotel, including the Queen and Queen Elizabeth II of London in history. Going back a little further, in 1897, when Li Hongzhang, then the Governor-General of Zhili and Minister of Beiyang of the Qing government, visited the United States, he stayed at the old site of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, becoming the first Chinese politician to stay at the hotel in history.

Today, it is not an exaggeration to say that this hotel is an asset of the Lin Zhengjie family. Of course, Lin Zhengjie does not value this.

Today, the Lin family has opened Peninsula Hotels all over the world, and that hotel is a true Lin hotel.

"Mr. Barron, nice to meet you!"

Lin Zhengjie walked into the cocktail party, extended his hand enthusiastically, and met Barron Hilton.

Barron Hilton is 76 years old this year. He is a typical second-generation rich man, but when he was young, he was different from the playboys among the second-generation rich men. Barron was a hardworking and shrewd person.

Of course, compared to Lin Zhengjie who started from scratch, he is undoubtedly much inferior. Even if Barron Hilton brought "Hilton Hotels" to the whole world, his business achievements are completely incomparable to Lin Zhengjie.

As early as the turn of the century between 1999 and 2000, the international media selected the "Businessman of the Century". At that time, Lin Zhengjie defeated many businessmen who influenced the world, including the founder of "Ford Motor Company" in the United States, and became the real "Businessman of the Century". It can be said that this honor is very high.

"You are too young, but you are more successful in business than I am!"

Old Barron looked at Lin Zhengjie's young face and couldn't help but sigh.

Lin Zhengjie is 45 years old this year, but if you look closely, you will think he is only in his thirties and looks very young.

"Thank you for your praise. Thank you for your outstanding contribution to Hilton Hotels. I believe Hilton Hotels Corporation will continue to develop along the footsteps of the world's largest hotel group."

After some pleasantries, Barron Hilton introduced his friends to Lin Zhengjie, and of course his family members.

The reception was quite harmonious and everyone had a pleasant conversation.

For a wealthy man like Lin Zhengjie, he will be the focus wherever he goes.

"Mr. Lin, congratulations on becoming the financial backer of the Hilton Hotel. You won't kick us out of the Waldorf Astoria, will you?" a female voice suddenly said playfully.

Lin Zhengjie turned around and said in a gentlemanly manner: "Who would be willing to drive away a guest like Miss Paris? You are the spokesperson for New York fashion trends!"

The visitor was the first generation "Internet celebrity" Paris Hilton, who is also the granddaughter of Barron Hilton.

Blonde hair, blue eyes and sexy red lips are her trademark!
Paris looked at Lin Zhengjie in surprise. She didn't expect that this world businessman would be so approachable, not like those old antiques at all.

"You follow me too?"

"I'm following New York fashion and trends, so I can't help but follow you!"

"Do you also have clothing or jewelry?"

"Of course, I have invested in many businesses in this area, such as Gucci."

"Oh my god, I didn't know you invested in Gucci. I really like this brand."

The two chatted at the cocktail party and did not attract much attention. However, Paris finally called Lin Zhengjie, and it was obvious that something might have happened between the two today.

After the cocktail party, Lin Zhengjie checked into the suite of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, and soon Paris Hilton came to his door.

"Mr. Lin, won't you invite me in for a drink?"

"Miss Paris, please!"

Afterwards, the two continued their party in the living room!
In Paris's opinion, Lin Zhengjie is very attractive. First of all, he is rich enough, secondly, he is very charming, and finally, his personality is not old-fashioned but very humorous. Therefore, she took the initiative to call Lin Zhengjie today, hoping that the two of them could communicate alone.

Lin Zhengjie was also very decisive. After chatting for a few words, he put his arm around Paris Hilton's waist with a glass of red wine in his hand.

"Mr. Lin, you seem to be married?" Paris said mischievously.

At this moment, she didn't care about those things anymore. She just wanted to meet this legendary man.

"Isn't that better, because I have more experience and understand women better than any man you've ever met!"

"I don't believe it. You Asians don't seem to be good at that!"

Paris became naughty, she didn't know what price she would pay for this sentence.

Lin Zhengjie didn't explain. He looked into Paris's blue eyes and slowly moved closer. Then the two of them intertwined.

Soon Paris exclaimed!

"Wow, he's so big!"

Lin Zhengjie stroked Paris's golden hair, sat comfortably on the sofa, and enjoyed his romantic life.

When he used the 'pull back from the brink' move, Paris felt like he was flying, his golden hair fluttering in the wind, his hands on the glass, and a horse-like 'neigh' coming out of his mouth.

When he used the move of "horse viewing", Paris spread his limbs as if he was galloping on the grassland, waving his limbs and running. His master Lin Zhengjie on horseback urged him to speed up.

More than an hour later.

Lin Zhengjie found the medicine and fed it to Paris.

"Forget safety measures, eat it first!"

"Hate it, you're afraid I'll give birth to a child and take your property!"

Despite this, Paris ate it cheerfully. "Will we meet again in the future?"

"Of course, we'll have another chance to spar next time, and you can't beg for mercy then!"

"Have you taken any medicine?"

"Do I look like someone who takes medicine?"

That thing must have been very tired afterwards, but Lin Zhengjie was very energetic at this time.

Paris shook her head, then measured Lin Zhengjie's muscles with her palms. Every time she pinched them, she could feel the explosive power in his body.

Lin Zhengjie also likes Paris's body. It's not a very outstanding figure, but it's very fresh!
He also has foreign girls. Monica Bellucci is far superior to Paris in every aspect, so it’s just the novelty that makes Lin Zhengjie like her at this time.

During his two days in New York, in addition to attending the dinner, Lin Zhengjie also inspected the family office and the office building of Hengjin Investment, and communicated with the management serving his family in order to increase their loyalty.

He then took a private jet to Hilton headquarters in Los Angeles, and Paris quietly boarded his private jet.

"Oh my God, you really know how to enjoy yourself. You are different from my impression of Asian rich people. Instead, you are more like the rich people in the United States and the Middle East." Paris, wearing a white dress, visited Lin Zhengjie's private jet and exclaimed.

The Hilton family is actually not rich. When the first-generation founder died, he even handed over all his wealth to a trust institution. It was thanks to the second-generation head Barron Hilton that he won back $26 billion in wealth through a lawsuit.

As a result, Barron Hilton, like his father, did not pass on his wealth to future generations. Therefore, the third and fourth generations of Hilton only received a little living allowance from the trust, but it was obviously not enough to live a truly wealthy life.

But now Paris Hilton (fourth generation) can make money on her own and has become a fashion celebrity in the United States, but her achievements are just minor.

Lin Zhengjie admired Paris's young body, especially her golden hair. When they had sex, he would inevitably pull out a few strands. She had fair skin, a standard figure, and a face like a doll. Very good!

"Lin, tell me how to become richer?" Paris was greatly stimulated after the visit, and then put his arms around Lin Zhengjie's arms and said.

She was not asking Lin Zhengjie for money, that was not her intention at all. Instead, she was asking Lin Zhengjie for advice on how to do business.

"It's easy for you celebrities to make money. You just need to monetize your fame and influence slowly. For example, you can go into design in the future, or you can license your name to others."

"Wow, you know a lot about this!"

Paris said with surprise. After all, in her opinion, Lin Zhengjie was not omnipotent, but his words just now surprised her. This man seemed to be omnipotent and no problem could stump him.

Lin Zhengjie picked up the blonde beauty by the waist, walked towards the living room, and threw Paris on the sofa.

"If you satisfy me today, I will tell you another very direct investment!"

Paris lay on the sofa, propped up his head with his hands, and said with a smile: "But I don't want our relationship to become so complicated, so even if there is no such benefit, I don't mind satisfying you!"

Good man, he even made himself vulgar!
There is no way, Lin Zhengjie has plenty of money and ways to make money, which is the benefit he likes to give to women.

But he couldn't care less at this moment, because Paris, lying on her side on the sofa, looked like a mermaid.

The white dress with black edges is pure and charming.

Lin Zhengjie likes young girls. He sniffed Paris's beautiful legs and kissed them. This is his fetish - leg control. Of course, this is just an appetizer.

"Paris, how about we record a video that I'd like to treasure?"

Paris's face flashed with horror, and he said, "Are you laughing at me?"

This leak just happened this year!

Lin Zhengjie said very gentlemanly: "I just want to say that recording is normal, so you don't have to take it to heart. What's more, it is impossible for my recording to be spread out, after all, my status is very high!"

Paris agreed, but Lin Zhengjie put a mask on himself, which made her unhappy for a while. Fortunately, Lin Zhengjie quickly conquered her.

Afterwards, Paris and Lin Zhengjie watched it together.

"Can I have one?"

“Absolutely not”

"Hate it, you are such a domineering man and I don't like you enough!"

Of course, Lin Zhengjie couldn't give it to anyone. Even though he wore a simple mask, he didn't trust any woman. He locked the video in a safe and took it back to Hong Kong later to put it in his underground treasure house as a souvenir.

At the headquarters of Hilton Hotel, Lin Zhengjie, on behalf of the Chairman of Barings Bank, met with the management team headed by former President Stephen and the professional management team headed by the new CEO Chris Nassetta.

Since it involves the huge Hilton Hotel Group, the original professional management team headed by Stephen needs to cooperate with the professional management team headed by the new CEO Chris Nassetta to take over the Hilton Hotel Group. This is a prior agreement.

Lin Zhengjie only inspected the Hilton headquarters and did not put forward any constructive suggestions because the opinions he should have put forward had already been conveyed to the senior management of Bahrain Bank.

Moreover, he is very confident in the new CEO Nassetta, after all, he is a senior hotel elite with rich experience.

In fact, the general strategy is nothing more than moving the headquarters to a more cost-saving area. The entire Hilton Group must reduce costs and increase efficiency. This is the internal strategy; the external strategy is to increase the scale of "franchising", expand the number of stores managed globally, and increase the proportion of light assets.

Finally, Lin Zhengjie had another trick up his sleeve, which was to let Hilton Hotels Group sell some properties (hotel ownership) in 2007 to further reduce the proportion of heavy assets.

By taking multiple approaches and safely getting through the 'world financial crisis', the future will be bright.

During the period, the former CEO Stephen smiled and said: "Mr. Lin, you are a god in the business field. Facing the present and future Hilton Hotels, what suggestions do you have?"

Everyone looked at Lin Zhengjie, seemingly expectant.

Lin Zhengjie gave face to the new CEO Nassetta and said, "When we bought the Hilton Hotel, the acquisition was successful and we have already made money, so I have no suggestions now. As for how much we can make, it depends on the team led by Nassetta."

The implication is that Hilton Hotels itself is good enough, and the next step is to look at Nassetta’s management team.

Everyone laughed, and Lin Zhengjie's words praised the new and old management teams.

The inspection ended very easily. On the way back, he reminded the management of Bahrain Bank that this was where Lin Zhengjie really needed to supervise. He did not need to directly participate in the management of the Hilton Hotel, but had to participate through Bahrain Bank.

This is Lin Zhengjie's current working status. Many things will only be handled by his most trusted subordinates and he will not intervene directly. (End of this chapter)
