Vol 4 Chapter 111: Clean up

New York, Feng Yiping, Buchanan, and Merbach, who had just arrived from Washington last night, had breakfast together. They were all very well. The three were in a good mood and had a good appetite.

Especially looking at Feng Yiping, who came back from a short run in Central Park, ate bread, tortillas, and another piece of their signature red velvet cake. Buchanan and Merbach were also appetizing.

"This is the most I ate for breakfast in a hotel," Buchanan said.

"This was the most cost-effective time I had breakfast at the hotel," Merbach said.

In fact, Merbach said that he would eat more breakfast.

"The power of role models is endless," they looked at Feng Yiping.

"I can still eat more, but there are too few varieties here," Feng Yiping didn't mind making a meal bucket with more people.

At this time, China is not a big tourist country, and the number of people traveling abroad is limited. Therefore, these hotels in the United States have not yet launched a Chinese breakfast. Now they provide breakfast, either American or European.

And as we all know, the breakfast of domestic high-end star hotels has always been a combination of Chinese and Western styles.

"Yes, I miss the breakfast in our own hotel very much," said Buchanan, who has been to China and Hong Kong, and stayed at the Jiasheng Holiday Hotel in the provincial capital and Hong Kong.

"Is that so good?" Merbach, who has never been to, can only imagine.

"Of course, that's amazing Chinese food," Buchanan said. "Feng, when can we have our own hotel in the United States?"

"In a metropolis like New York, there are too few land suitable for building a hotel,"

It’s not that Feng Yiping had never thought about this problem, but unlike China, the first- and second-tier cities in China are now at a time of high growth. On the one hand, they are expanding vigorously around the surrounding area. On the other hand, large-scale demolition of urban villages. It is easy to find the right place.

In the United States and Europe, cities worthy of opening hotels have long been well-developed, with very systematic functions. It is too difficult to find a suitable place for hotels.

"We can buy," Buchanan said.

This Feng Yiping is also not unthinkable, and it is really possible. However, it seems that it is not the best time, o8 year, hehe, it should be a very suitable year — well, it should be a good year.

"I think this one is good," Merbach said with a smile looking at the luxuriously decorated restaurant. "If you buy this, think about it, how many brains from all over the world will become our tenants?"

"Just because of your confidence in me, this is not impossible when the future is right," Feng Yiping smiled.

When these two guys arranged for Buchanan to contact McDonald's, he asked if he wanted to buy McDonald's, and now Merbach proposed that he buy the Waldorf Astoria!

You know, the Waldorf Astoria, like the Statue of Liberty, is one of New York’s landmarks.

Many politicians, such as many retired presidents of the United States, celebrities such as the Duke of Windsor in the United Kingdom, members of the royal family in the Middle East, Hollywood stars such as Monroe, and many rich people, above 28 floors, the part called "tower" has long private rooms. ;Because it is close to the United Nations, when the United Nations General Assembly, leaders of many countries, including the President of the United States, chose to stay here....

Even some official institutions in the United States, such as the residence of the US Ambassador to the United Nations, are fixed on the top floor of the 42nd floor of the Waldorf Astoria.

It's the same in our country. Since 1974, our leaders have visited New York and stayed here.

If you were not very confident in Feng Yiping, how could Merbach come up with such an idea during breakfast?

However, the Waldorf Astoria in New York at this time, for Feng Yiping, was a relatively extravagant gadget. Later, when Anbang acquired it, the total price was close to 200 million US dollars, or about 70,000 US dollars per square meter.

Even if inflation and other factors are excluded, the Hilton Group intends to sell it now, it would have to be around 1.5 billion US dollars. With this 1.5 billion US dollars, he will operate in China and build 10 holiday hotels will be enough, and it will be more than a decade. , Earning more than 1.5 billion US dollars is definitely more cost-effective than buying this.

Of course, the impact and publicity that buying this hotel can bring is really not measured by money.

…………

Merbacher returned to Seattle from Chicago non-stop, then to Washington, and then to New York. It was naturally not a joke. Feng Yiping planned to fly to Washington at 10:30. After breakfast, he hosted another executive meeting in the New York company. .

"The theme of today's meeting is about collaboration," he said straightforwardly. "Everyone knows that Coin Star and Redbox are now under the company's name."

"The nexTdooR website and these two businesses are actually complementary. Coin Star and Redbox can provide better services to registered users of our website."

"For example, for those registered users who have a lot of change at home, you can make an appointment with CoinStar to provide them with a door-to-door exchange service, and this service is free,"

"Redbox can also better and more conveniently satisfy registered users in need,"

"Conversely, registered users of our website can also become users of Coin Star and Redbox. Such high-quality internal resources will be a great waste if they cannot be used actively and effectively."

"Moreover, some work, such as the expansion of Redbox, is already imminent. Today, the three parties are in there. We must formulate a complete action guideline. I will not interfere with the specific cooperation, and everyone will negotiate."

Cooperation between brother companies is not something that Feng Yiping can effectively implement in a self-interested environment like the United States. Free help is unrealistic, and fees must be paid accordingly.

Among them, there are listed companies and non-listed companies. Although Feng Yiping has always had high requirements on the financial management of the company, the unlisted nexTdooR has similar financial requirements to the listed Coin Star, but the supervision received is different. .

As a listed company, every business of Coin Star is subject to public supervision, and its offer to provide services to brothers must be very reasonable.

If it's low, nexTdooR feels boring and don't want to do it. If it's high, the public will definitely clamor about this collaboration. It is very likely that a listed company may illegally transfer interests to a non-listed company controlled by the same shareholder.

"I want to show my attitude to everyone here. I hope that these three projects can become brothers and sisters who love each other and help each other. They have to pursue profit, but they cannot just pursue profit."

"Merbach, talk about the most urgent thing at hand,"

"For dVd rental machines, McDonald's has some inventory. Given the good operations in Washington, we want to roll out the Redbox business in New York as soon as possible," Merback said.

"I think so, everyone first draws up a general procedure for this matter. You don't need to pursue too perfection, you can refine and perfect it in actual operation."

"I have only one requirement. I hope that these three projects can improve each other and effectively promote each other. The most important point is not just to discuss, but to start work as soon as possible."

"Specifically, Buchanan, Merbach, you two will take everyone to negotiate and inform me of the result." He looked at the vibrating phone, "I have to go to the airport, you continue."

He waved to everyone and handed the bag to Owen, "Hey, President Jin, are you still working overtime?"

The employees in the office looked at him like this, knowing that he was going to leave, and they felt a little relieved that they were always by their side in the end. In fact, this is not as wonderful as expected.

In fact, Feng Yiping really behaved mildly in front of these employees. However, the influence of a person's reputation, his fame, and his achievements are a kind of pressure on these employees.

From the corner of Feng Yiping's eye, seeing some people sitting on their seats very relaxed after seeing him come out, it was a bit funny. Wasn't it the same for me once?

"Well," Jin Ling there seemed to be very invisible and rubbed his nose, "I am about to go home. I heard that you are going well in New York?"

"Of course, who I am and what I can do will not go smoothly," Feng Yiping said, "It's just, what's wrong with your voice? Have you caught a cold? Now the season is changing, you must be more careful,"

"No, I don't sound like a cold, are you okay?"

They are all very familiar with each other. Feng Yiping knows Jin Ling's tone and habits, and immediately feels something is wrong with her today.

"No, I have a cold, I have a bad cough, and my throat is uncomfortable."

Hearing Feng Yiping's words, Shanghai, Jin Ling, who was originally lying on the sand, sat up and tried to show himself as normal.

"If it is really uncomfortable, take a few days off."

"I know, when will you be back?"

"Hehe, I must have missed me! It has been confirmed, just recently, there is something, I must personally come forward,"

"Oh, okay, then you are busy,"

Listening to the beep on the phone~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Feng Yiping felt even more wrong. Why didn't she satirize me a bit today? Don't even fight back with my teasing?

He immediately dialed Fang Yingzhi's phone.

"Hello Yiping," Fang Yingzhi outside the meeting room listened to the movement inside, and said in a low voice.

"What's wrong with you? Has anything happened?"

Fang Yingzhi concisely said the whole story, "Are you sure you are an ex-boyfriend? Also, why did she just cry in the meeting room? Was that guy bullying her?"

"No," Fang Yingzhi shook his head. If people bullied Jin Ling in their own company, they would be too negligent. "It should be that after seeing Ma Wenzhe, President Jin remembered what happened before."

"I see, you order, if this guy dares to harass again, no, dare to show up in front of her again, no matter what his background, don't hesitate to say hello to me,"

If the tiger is not prestigious, will you treat me as a sick cat? Those who dare to bully me! (To be continued.) 8
