Chapter 1687 Acquisition of Hilton Hotel
In the Hilton Group conference room.

On a long conference table, on one side sat the directors and senior management of the Hilton Group, headed by Bollenbach, and on the other side sat the senior management members of the Maple Leaf Group, headed by Yang Qingzhi, Ye Feng, and Wen Yueqi.

On the side is the person responsible for recording the meeting content.

When Bolenbach and others were signing the agreement with Ye Feng, they had been observing this young Chinese man who was a bit too much. After the introduction just now, they already knew that this young man was not the heir to a hidden family.

Everything he has is achieved through his own abilities.

A very powerful person.

Bollenbach couldn't help but lament that under the age of 30, in just a few years he became the founder of a group that went public in the United States, with a market value of more than US$150 billion.

Although Lanshan Company has not yet been listed, and the valuation of the listing is still in the blockade period, Bollenbach still used his free time to ask someone to find out the details of Ye Feng's Lanshan Company.

Ye Feng is currently in the United States for the listing of Lanshan Company, and has preliminarily exchanged prospectuses with investment banks such as Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, and Merrill Lynch. The total share capital is 3.75 million shares at US$40 per share.

Although Hilton Hotels is currently sold for US$240 billion, Hilton Hotels is divided into many parts and has many shareholders. It is completely incomparable with founders like Ye Feng who hold equity.

In comparison, the only remaining glory of the Hilton Hotel is the historical sense of its former glory.

Moreover, it is not the Lanshan Group that is acquiring the Hilton Hotel, but the Maple Leaf Group, a private equity fund that is a partner. This means that the young man in front of him owns more than just the Lanshan Group.

It's amazing.

Bollenbach, the executive officer of Hilton Group, looked at Ye Feng who signed the agreement and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It's no wonder that people like Yang Qingzhi would assist him. Compared with their youth and vigor, the history of Hilton Hotel is a bit... The feeling of decay.

It's better to sell it.

After selling the Hilton Hotel, we can explain it to the directors, and maybe in their hands, the Hilton Hotel can be improved to a higher level.

Not only Bolenbach, but other directors on the Hilton Group's board of directors looked at Ye Feng and had their own thoughts in their hearts. It was more about the respect of the strong. After all, no one in the world would refuse to be with one of the youngest richest men in the world. To make relationships.

When Ye Feng was signing the agreement, he would also read some important matters of the contract. Although his English was not that good, his English reading was relatively passable.

Read and write.

Yang Qingzhi, on the other hand, completely treated himself as an invisible person, observing the reactions of everyone present with interest. It was not surprising that they were surprised, because Ye Feng's current achievements were indeed too dazzling.

No matter who he compares with, Ye Feng is still the shining star in the sky.

Wen Yueqi and Yang Qingzhi did the same thing, but Wen Yueqi was looking at Ye Feng's profile, watching with admiration as Ye Feng carefully looked at the acquisition agreement and signed it. At this time, Ye Feng had a different concentration than usual, and his profile was very... Tough and handsome.

Sure enough, when a man is serious, his profile is the most attractive.

Wen Yueqi looked at Ye Feng and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Soon, Ye Feng finished reading some of the important content areas of the acquisition agreement. As for more, he did not read it because there were too many items in the contract and there were many aspects involved. If he really wanted to go through them one by one Look, you can't finish it even if you watch it for two days, and the content of the acquisition agreement has already been confirmed by the legal affairs of both parties.

Then Ye Fengshasha signed the agreement and handed it to Bolenbach.

After Maple Leaf signed the deal, Bollenbach also signed the acquisition agreement on behalf of the Hilton Group's board of directors. In other words, from this moment on, the Hilton Hotel will belong to the Maple Leaf Group and become a hotel industry under the Maple Leaf Group.

"Pleasant to work with."

Bollenbach stood up, extended his hand to Ye Feng, and said with a smile: "I hope Hilton Hotel will develop better and better under your leadership in the future."

"hope so."

Ye Feng also stood up and shook Bolenbach's hand with a humble expression.

The scene at the acquisition meeting for the largest hotel transaction in the world's hotel industry was captured in the photo by the photographer who recorded the meeting, which happened to capture the handshake between Ye Feng and Bollenbach.

In the photo, although Bollenbach, who is over 50 years old, stands very straight, he still looks a little stooped due to his age. Ye Feng has a slender figure, straight and youthful, and his eyes are modest and calm.

And this just fits this acquisition case.

Bolenbach represents the Hilton Hotel, and Ye Feng represents the Maple Leaf Group, a private equity fund with only a history of one year. One is old, the other is young, one is in the sunset, and the other is full of vigor.

Everything seems to indicate that Hilton Hotel will be acquired by Maple Leaf Group.

After shaking hands.Ye Feng and Yang Qingzhi declined Bollenbach and the Hilton Group directors. No, it should be said that it was the former directors' enthusiasm to persuade them to stay. They left on the pretext that they had other things to be busy with.

Because the next thing has little to do with Ye Feng, the next step is to contact the top investment bank that jointly loaned Maple Leaf Group and Hilton Group to implement the loan payment.

Before leaving, Yang Qingzhi also took Ye Feng to chat with the people from these investment banks for a while, because one of the investment banks that provided the loan was Yang Qingzhi’s old employer, Goldman Sachs Group. As for the remaining investment banks, it was composed of 26 large banks, hedge funds, A consortium of funds and real estate debt investors. Interestingly, one of the investment banks was Lehman Brothers.

Lehman Brothers is also the top investment bank with a long history in the U.S. investment banking industry.

Ye Feng found it interesting that one of the investment banks was Lehman Brothers. It was not that Lehman was special compared to investment banks such as Goldman Sachs, but that in his previous life in 2008, Lehman Brothers was one of the top investment banks that collapsed due to the financial crisis.

I don’t know if Lehman Brothers’ loan to us this time will increase the speed of their collapse.

When Ye Feng shook hands with the director of the loan department of Lehman Brothers Investment Bank, he couldn't help but smile at this rather dramatic thought. Because this loan, next year, Maple Leaf Group will definitely not be able to repay it and can only owe , even Ye Feng, who has prophetic ability, does not have the ability to make Maple Leaf Group undergo huge changes in one year. As for the bets with hedge funds and investment banks from 2006 to 2007, that kind of opportunity is rare. of.

On the contrary, Ye Feng is confident that Lanshan Company's market value will double in one year.

But having said that, no matter how rich Lanshan Company is, it has nothing to do with Maple Leaf Group, even though both companies belong to Maple Leaf Group.

After going out.

Ye Feng chatted with Yang Qingzhi about Lehman Brothers and asked how much of the US$200 billion loan the investment bank accounted for.

Before Yang Qingzhi could answer, Wen Yueqi suddenly looked at Ye Feng and said, "You seem to be very concerned about Lehman Brothers?"

"Have it?"

Ye Feng was startled.

"Have."

Wen Yueqi said with certainty: "In 06, I signed a $3000 million credit default swap with Lehman Brothers, and you acted like you had a headache, as if Lehman Brothers would collapse."

Ye Feng thought for a moment and couldn't remember such a thing. He said firmly: "I didn't say that, and I don't have a headache. Lehman Brothers is one of the four top investment banks in the United States. Sister Qi, you must be misremembered."

"Yes, yes, I remembered it wrong."

Wen Yueqi rolled her eyes and said angrily: "You have a good memory, you never lose your memory, and you never lose your memory."

"..."

As soon as Wen Yueqi said these words, Ye Feng was like a duck whose neck was stepped on. He was speechless and glanced at Yang Qingzhi next to him guiltily. He knew about his own affairs, and he knew that Wen Yueqi was talking about his first two Two years later, he had sex with her while drinking at night, and then broke off the affair intentionally. Two years later, this matter has become a secret between him and Sister Qi.

really.

No matter how extraordinary a woman is in this world, she will one day settle old scores.

Fortunately, Chen Huang, Hou Yao, and Zhou Yihang who got off the bus came over to ease Ye Feng's embarrassment, and asked excitedly: "How is it, has the acquisition been completed now?"

"Will the Hilton Hotel be ours from now on?"

"Yes."

Ye Feng smiled and nodded to them: "The Hilton Hotel will be ours from now on."

Hou Yao then asked: "Then do we still have to pay to stay at the Hilton Hotel in the future?"

At this moment, Ye Feng was also in a good mood. He imitated Zhou Xingchi's tone and expression in "The Night of Resurrection" and said one word to him: "Yes!"

"Wow, that's too much."

Hou Yao said he was very hurt.

Zhou Yihang, Yang Qingzhi, Wen Yueqi and others laughed when they saw this. After all, this acquisition took nearly a year from negotiation to bidding to the completion of the privatization of all Hilton Hotels' tradable shares.

I finally saw the results today.
