Vol 6 Chapter 177: Savior

Although he always smiles, and although he has always claimed that he and his company have "never made a hostile takeover", everyone on Wall Street knows that Mr. Su is a very aggressive person.

Otherwise, he would not start with a mere capital of 200,000 yuan and achieve what he is today.

Such a person would be annoyed at the significant US$3 billion transaction with the Chinese government’s sovereign fund on the eve of his company’s listing, but he would certainly not let what happened like this to affect other things in his work. arrangement.

So after that, Mr. Su completed what he thought was a very cost-effective acquisition. In July, he bought the world-renowned Hilton Hotel for US$26.7 billion.

Of the 26.7 billion US dollars, his own company only came from 6 billion US dollars, and the other over 20 billion were all loans. The loans mainly came from other counterparts on Wall Street, including Bell, who felt that the cold winter had arrived and the music no longer sounded. Stern, and Mr. Su’s former club, Lehman Brothers, Morgan Stanley, etc.

Although many partners said that the purchase price was too high, he believed that it was a very cost-effective business.

Since then, Hilton’s nearly 10 brands, 2,800 hotels around the world, and nearly 500,000 rooms (some of which belong to franchise operations) have all been included in Blackstone.

——So Paris Hilton, who was leaked by her boyfriend because of her private video two years ago, and Kim Kardashian, who became well-known in the United States, was still Paris Hilton, who was her little attendant at this time, of course, belonged to the Hilton family. Heirs, but they are not the heirs of the Hilton Hotel, because in fact, their family has not had much to do with the Hilton Hotel since then.

It is also said that the grandfather of Paris Hilton, the second son of Hilton Hotel founder Conrad Hilton, and the former head of Hilton Hotel, Barron Hilton, chose to sell the family property. In addition to the business recession, it is not for the younger generation. Disappointment is also one of the main reasons.

Barron Hilton has 8 children, but seven of them are nothing, only his sixth child, Rick Hilton, has four children, two boys and two girls.

Of these four children, the eldest is two daughters, and these two daughters, especially the eldest daughter with a corrupt private life, can be said to have brought the entire Hilton family to shame—but she herself was quite proud of it once.

…In short, when the decision was made, Schwarzman always felt that this would be a very good deal, but after so much chaos in August, he certainly understood that the difficult days were about to begin.

In such days, Hilton Hotel Group's luxury hotel business will be greatly affected.

To make matters worse, everyone now knows that his decision to acquire the Hilton Hotel at a premium of 40% last month was obviously a very bad decision.

It can be said that it happened to be the peak of the housing bubble. There are obviously many bubbles in the investment of 26.7 billion US dollars.

That is, from the moment they acquired the Hilton Hotel for more than $26 billion, their investment will begin to be written down.

Choosing to complete the acquisition last month is obviously a very bad time. Some of the partners at that meeting, such as Bear Stearns, seem to be in trouble now. To make matters worse, they have just completed the acquisition. Faced with a lawsuit.

Another world-renowned hotel group, Starwood Hotels and Resorts International, sued Hilton in federal court, accusing Hilton employees of stealing Starwood’s successful "w hotel franchise program", which Starwood called "obvious corporate espionage and business theft Confidentiality, unfair competition and computer fraud".

The US Department of Justice has begun investigating Starwood’s allegations.

Fortunately, the Hilton Hotel has been privatized by them. Otherwise, under the combined effect of so many negative news, the stock price will create a new low. That way, their losses will be completely exposed to the public, the reputation of him and Blackstone. , Will be greatly affected...

Therefore, under such circumstances, when he learned that Feng Yiping had pitted himself for a change, Mr. Su was really itchy.

When he learned that Feng Yiping had predicted the current crisis that was happening, his anger towards Feng Yiping could be said to have taken another step.

…………

On the annacreek ranch in South Australia, Feng Yiping was also very angry at this time.

Although he still has requirements for himself, he is not a saint after all, and he also knows that he is a bit scumbag in some respects.

Right now, although he knew that there were certain things that he really shouldn't do, but watching Kidman, who was smiling and talking about more interesting things about the ranch, he became stronger for some years.

This is often the case. The less we know that certain things should not be done, the more attractive those things are to us, because doing those things is full of some taboo pleasure.

"...Oh, we are opening up domestic relations and channels. We hope that the cattle in the pasture can be imported into China as live cattle instead of beef as soon as possible."

The entry of live cattle not only guarantees fresher meat quality, but also has a higher utilization rate. In domestic slaughter, not to mention beef, from cattle hair to cattle blood to sewage, there is no waste at all.

"For this, we are considering ordering a special vessel," Feng Yiping said.

Of course, he knows better that this is not a good time to order such a ship. By this time next year at the latest, there will be many shipyards rushing to take his order at the best price.

We must know that in the financial crisis, the shipping industry will be directly affected, and the shipbuilding industry will also suffer a huge blow.

By then, many shipyards will not care about profits, and just hope to have some orders to make themselves through this difficult time.

"Haha," Kidman chuckled twice, "So you were prepared."

Feng Yiping's chuckle like this was what Feng Yiping liked, so at this time, it sounded that Feng Yiping's heart trembled twice.

It's kind of terrible.

It turns out that it is not only the moon that can transform a man into a wolf, but also such an unmanned wilderness.

Especially in such an uninhabited wilderness surrounded by animals.

"Of course, as the economy continues to grow rapidly, more and more middle-class families in China are also updating their menus. Beef is a very important item on their new menu," Feng Yiping tried to control his impulse. ,

"I think that with an outstanding partner like you, the company's business will definitely be greatly improved," Kidman smiled brightly ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ holding Feng Yiping's hand and tightening it a bit.

Oh my god, it's terrible!

"The current environment has also greatly promoted our business. You know, the Australian dollar is depreciating. Relatively speaking, our domestic people can buy our cattle at a lower price..." Feng Yiping suddenly began to talk about business endlessly, and spoke very quickly.

"We have noticed that so far, the Bank of Australia has invested nearly 10 billion Australian dollars to rescue the market, and the Australian dollar has also entered a downward channel. We expect that this situation will continue for some time. It is undoubtedly a problem for our live cattle exports. A big plus..."

Kidman is very cooperative, echoing from time to time, "Well," "Oh," "It turns out that it is,"

But this is the case in very ordinary words, and it is also very stimulating to Feng Yiping at this time, especially those short syllables, such as "um", "oh", "ah" and so on.

He felt that his throat was getting dry, but it was obviously not because he spoke too much.

Listening to Feng Yiping's speaking speed getting faster and faster, watching him look a little red, Kidman's smile is brighter, his speech is softer, and his chuckles become more frequent.

More than you can fire.

Half of Feng Yiping's attention at this time is on the satellite phone in his hand, but you are ringing.

On the other hand, he felt that he was looking for his own fate, so why bother to insist on hypocrisy.

However, the dry voice still said in his heart, "This is wrong, no,"

It just sounds, that voice is getting weaker and weaker.

Feng Yiping gradually became calmer, but at this time, the satellite phone did not ring, but the hand console in the car rang. "Boss," Owen's voice came over, with a rustle, "Vincent and Oman reached Do you need to send it over?"
