Blackstone's most exciting investment was in 2007, when the big boss of Blackstone took a huge risk and withstood all the pressure of public opinion to acquire Hilton Hotels Group for 26 billion dollars, and after several years of business consolidation, it went public.

Finally, in 2014, after liquidating all the shares of Hilton Hotel and completely withdrawing from the investment in Hilton Hotel, it achieved a net profit of 14 billion dollars in less than seven years!

The deal became the most rewarding investment in private equity history and is a myth in the industry.

The outside world only sees how much money Blackstone has earned, but it is difficult to imagine how much effort it has put in.

These two giants are eyeing Harrods at the same time, and you can imagine how potential Harrods has.

After Wu Qian knew that the two opponents were strong, he was no longer so nervous, the enemy was too strong, and he just had to do his best.

In fact, Wu Qian's worries are a little redundant, fundamentally speaking, his investment philosophy is slightly different from the other two, the NPS Foundation is to help the people manage their finances, and they need to be extremely stable, so it can be said that they can't afford to resist a little wind and waves, and their philosophy is that they would rather make less money than lose money.

Blackstone has a different story.

It's just that Wu Qian doesn't know about these things.

"No wonder Mr. Li lost to these two behemoths back then, the capital strength is too strong......" Wu Qian muttered softly, shook his head with a smile, and was very eager for this high-quality industry in his heart, as long as he had the opportunity, he would definitely win it.

At the same time, Wu Qian was also silently persuading himself in his heart, he must not be too willful, he believed that if he threw most of the funds he owned into it, he would definitely be able to take Harrods Department Store, but in that case, it would really outweigh the losses.

"You can't do that, investment is investment, you have to have a correct attitude, you can't be too capricious, in case you think about it, it's not easy to do......" Wu Qian said secretly in his heart.

A luxurious three-story building in the west of London is the branch of Qatar Holding Group in London, and in an extremely spacious and luxurious conference room on the third floor, the four parties are seated clearly, Wu Qian is here with him and two bodyguards, as well as the staff of Wisman Law Firm, a total of nine people.

The teams of the NPS Foundation and the Blackstone Group are similar, and the bidding is not a competition for the number of people, so three or five professionals are enough, and the most important thing is to rely on the capital.

Wu Qian looked at the two heads of the NPS Foundation and the Blackstone Group who came to bid for Harrods, both of them were middle-aged men in their forties, much older than him, and the two of them looked extremely shrewd and imposing, and they seemed to have the confidence to win.

Wu Qian looked at the person in charge of the two companies, and the person in charge of the two companies naturally looked at the person in charge of the Happy Source Investment Company, and they were guessing Wu Qian's identity, whether he was the boss or the representative.

For this young man of the Celestial Empire, the two had an indescribable feeling that in so many years of business competition, there were few such young opponents. Even if there is, it is a learning experience behind the elders, and it is impossible to sit in front of it and control the overall situation.

For this sudden competitor, neither Blackstone Group nor NPS Fund took it lightly, if there is no considerable capital strength, Qatar Holding Group simply cannot allow the other party to mix, and being able to participate is itself a statement of strength.

On the side of Qatar Holding Group, a total of three people in white coats sat in the main seat, looking at the tripartite bidders with a faint smile on their faces, and behind the three sat four or five people in crisp suits, who also seemed to be legal and business advisers.

The man on the throne glanced at Wu Qian from time to time, and his heart was also full of curiosity, he wanted to see what this newly emerging investment company could do.

At the beginning of the year, Qatar Holding Group already had plans to sell Harrods before 2020.

Because from the acquisition of this department store in 2010 to the present, after nine years of development, not to mention the profits earned, the appreciation of the department store itself is very considerable.

An economic analyst within the group used confidential data analysis to come to a conclusion that in the next 2-3 years, Harrods will enter a period of sluggish development, so there is today's bid.

Some things must be absolutely advanced, and if you wait for the department store to really enter a period of sluggish growth before selling, you may face the dilemma of not being able to make a good move, after all, no one is a fool.

It's like Mr. Lee on Hong Kong Island said a truth, never earn the last copper plate.

Qatar Holding Group has a lot of internal talents, and naturally understands this truth, so it chose to sell Harrods at this time.

If the person who takes over the market has unique means, he can develop and expand Harrods Department Store and enter another round of accelerated growth, and if he is dedicated to defending the city, it is also a very good long-term investment project.

In short, no matter how you look at it, Harrods is an extremely high-quality industry, even if it is attacked by a terrorist attack, there are high insurance compensation, and it is almost a sure profit.

Of course, the threshold for investing in such high-quality industries is also very, very high, and the average small rich do not want to get involved at all.

Wu Qian didn't know that there was a top boss of the Celestial Empire who also received an invitation from Qatar Holding Group, but due to various unavoidable reasons, he was put on a tight spell on his head, and he really couldn't move the money for overseas investment, and he was miserable.

"It seems that we have to find another way, and then find another way. Let's wait to see who the flowers are, and I hope to have a certain degree of cooperation. Mr. Wang muttered in his office, standing next to the boss's chair and looking at the ink landscape paintings on the wall, feeling a little melancholy.

After Mr. Wang received the news from Qatar Holding Group, he began to raise overseas funds as soon as possible, but due to various reasons, he was not allowed to make too many moves, and in desperation, he scraped together less than 20 billion soft sister coins, which was converted into pounds sterling but more than 2 billion pounds.

How can this money be enough to bid for Harrods Department Store, Mr. Wang is engaged in this industry, and he is clear about the value of Harrods Department Store, and this money is not even enough for the reserve price set by Qatar Holding Group, let alone the bidding.

Back then, Mr. Wang was also a giant in the hundreds of billions of soft sister coin industry overseas, but in order to protect his foundation, he had to put on a tight spell, sell and sell hard, and then buy and buy at home, I have to praise him for having courage!

But few people know that Mr. Wang's hardships are all for the sake of the child, and in some places he can have fun, it doesn't mean that his son can still play......

"Alas......" Mr. Wang sighed, at this moment he remembered Mr. Li, there are some things that Mr. Li can do, but he Mr. Wang can't do it, people are more popular than people.
