Chapter 1688 Qu Gao and Widow
After completing the privatization acquisition of Hilton Hotel Group, the next work belongs to Yang Qingzhi, who has to be responsible for arranging people to hand over to Hilton Hotel executives and follow-up operational issues.

These are relatively tedious business operations and dismantling.

Firstly, Ye Feng didn't understand these things, and secondly, he found them troublesome, so he left all these matters to Yang Qingzhi. Yang Qingzhi himself is also the co-founder, global chairman and CEO of Maple Leaf Group.

Currently, Wen Yueqi holds the concurrent position of chief operating officer because Wen Yueqi also manages two mutual funds. Compared to Yang Qingzhi, Yang Qingzhi’s workload is slightly lower. It’s just that Maple Leaf Group is now in the process of enriching its departmental structure. , so it seems that he is busy.

It can be said that among the four co-founders of Maple Leaf Group, Ye Feng and Chen Huang are the most relaxed. They hardly care about the work of Maple Leaf Group. After completing the privatization acquisition of Hilton Hotel Group, they did nothing. Instead, they took Zhou Yihang, Hou Yao, Wang Xin, Gao Xuan, Chen Xiao and others to the Hilton Hotel in New York with great interest.

The Waldorf-Astoria was the last hotel they stayed at.

This hotel is also not far from Fifth Avenue where Wen Yueqi lives. It is a 42-story luxury hotel in midtown Manhattan, New York. The main entrance is at 301 Park Avenue, but the entire group of hotel buildings occupies Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue. and the entire block between East 49th Street and East 50th Street.

Ye Feng, Chen Huang and others left the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, which belongs to the Hilton Hotel Group, at the end to visit, not to mention how magnificent this hotel is.

But this hotel is also very historical and one of the landmarks of New York. It was built in 1893 by William Waldorf Astor. It was the first skyscraper hotel in the world and the tallest and largest hotel in the world at that time. With 1415 rooms, it has been a New York landmark hotel for many years with its Art Deco design style from the 20s.

From its opening in 1893 to the present, the hotel has been visited by countless celebrities and has witnessed the history of New York and even the United States.

In 1912, the U.S. Senate Committee held a hearing at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel to investigate the sinking of the Titanic.

On March 1946, 3, 15 days after delivering his famous "Iron Curtain Speech", Churchill attended the New York Governor's welcome banquet held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.From November to December of the same year, a meeting of the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union and France was held on the 10th floor of the hotel to discuss the future of Eastern Europe.

In 1949, the World Peace Conference was held here, which discussed the emerging Cold War and the division between the United States and the Soviet Union.

It can be said that, apart from Buckingham Palace in the UK, this hotel is the hotel that has hosted the most world dignitaries, and has entertained countless dignitaries and celebrities from all over the world.Among them were Queen Elizabeth II and his wife, the King and Queen of Denmark, the King and Queen of Belgium, and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev.Most heads of state in the world and kings and queens of almost all European countries have attended events held here.Among American presidents, the 31st President Hoover had the deepest relationship with Waldorf.After leaving the White House, he made this home and lived here for more than 30 years until his death.After Hoover, almost every American president has visited, although President Carter swore he never spent a night here.

It can be said that the glory of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel is beyond comparison.

Before the acquisition of the Hilton Hotel, Ye Feng and Chen Huang had been coveting the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. However, the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel was not yet part of the Maple Leaf Group at that time, so Ye Feng had always Didn't come.

It's different now.

After completing the acquisition of the Hilton Hotel, Ye Feng came over on the third day. When they arrived at the hotel, the hotel manager who had been contacted earlier in the morning came to greet Ye Feng and his party.

When Ye Feng and his party were welcomed into the hotel by the hotel manager, they also attracted the attention of many people in the lobby, who were curious about their identities.

While following the hotel manager, Chen Huang looked excitedly at the hotel lobby and snickered at Ye Feng: "You said we left all the work to Yang Qingzhi and Sister Qi, and then we came over to visit the Waldorf Astoria Hotel , wouldn’t it be a bit unkind?” “It is a bit unkind.”

Ye Feng said: "I don't understand the key to taking over the hotel and the subsequent integration of Hilton hotels around the world. Do you want to learn from Yang Qingzhi and Sister Qi?"

Chen Huang was shocked and couldn't help but look at Ye Feng: "You can do it. Originally, I thought that the two of us would be unkind to them. Do you want to be unkind to me together because of our relationship? You are so mean. ”

"What should we do? I'm not afraid that you will feel guilty." Ye Feng followed the white manager of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel and listened to him introduce the history of the hotel while saying perfunctorily to Chen Huang With.

Inside the corridor.

The floor is made of blackboard and white tiles, and luxurious and bright chandeliers hang from the top. There are many small lights around the chandelier, as if there is a circle of small lights dotted with candlelight surrounding the chandelier.

Chen Huang was still dissatisfied and said: "Then you can't sell me. You have no loyalty at all."

……

All the way to the banquet hall, it suddenly dawned on Ye Feng and others. It also made Ye Feng and others understand why many meetings of the American Congress were held here, because the banquet hall is very large and there are many balconies on the second and third floors. The platform extends inward, allowing you to look down at the people standing in the banquet hall below.

Smith, the hotel lobby manager, told Ye Feng that the US Senate Committee once held hearings here, as well as the subsequent Iron Curtain Speech and World Peace Conference.

Ye Feng nodded while listening. To be honest, he actually didn't care about the Iron Curtain Speech and the World Peace Conference, nor did he want to know about it. However, in 1912, the U.S. Senate Committee held a hearing here because of the sinking of the Titanic. He was quite interested.

Because when I went back to China and told others about the Iron Curtain Speech and the World Peace Conference, they didn’t know what it was about. Even if I talked about Queen Elizabeth II and his wife of England and the King and Queen of Denmark, they only had one thing to say, shit.

But who are these people?

They don't know.

On the contrary, they will be more sympathetic to "Titanic", starring Leonardo DiCaprio, which has been released on the big screen. If it doesn't work, Ye Feng can give them some more tips, just that, Xiao Do you remember the movie where Li Zi draws a nude picture of Lucy and then gets shaken in the car?

Although this idea is a bit tacky, it does represent Ye Feng's inner activities. Maybe the Iron Curtain speech, the World Peace Conference, this queen, and that king belong to the upper class, but Ye Feng thinks that he is a tacky person. , willing to share some tacky things, highbrow, and this is the main reason why Ye Feng never made people around him feel distant from the beginning to the end.
