That's right, it was Prince Waldley, who had a relationship in Paris, that is, the world-famous Saudi prince in later generations, and Li Feng also participated in one of his drinking parties in Paris, and it was there that Li Feng had the opportunity to take MGM into his pocket.

If it weren't for that drinking party, he wouldn't have met the gambling king Cork and French dignitaries, and there would be no MGM, so this Prince Waldley is still Li Feng's nobleman.

"HI LEE, YOU'RE FAMOUS NOW, YOU'RE IN THE 50S ON THE FORBES LIST, I'M NOT AS GOOD AS YOU NOW, THIS HAPPENS TO BE ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF APPLE, AND I'M ALSO A MINORITY SHAREHOLDER OF APPLE, SO I JUST CAME TO CONGRATULATE YOU THIS TIME." ”

At this time, Li Feng also reacted, Prince Waldley seems to have invested in Apple in the early 90s, but there are not many shares, and now it is about 5%.

When Apple was on the board of directors before, Li Feng had been elected as the new board member, although the nominal shares were not much, but many people still knew that Jobs was able to quickly rise to power, or because of the sudden appearance of share support.

As for where this share came from, it was quickly investigated, and it was all supported by Li Feng, obviously, Li Feng actually controlled much more shares than shown.

Li Feng didn't doubt this at all, after all, the representatives of the board members behind him were all representing some consortia, large group families, etc., and it was indeed simple to investigate this thing.

……

"It's just luck, you can see that I can't run the company, those things are not my fault, just luck. Li Feng smiled and replied modestly to Prince Waldley.

"It's just luck, we have to communicate well in the future, and you have to take me with you if you have the chance." Waldley replied to Li Feng seriously.

"Hahaha..." A burst of laughter came, showing Li Feng's modesty and making everyone laugh. Naturally, no one will take it seriously, after all, Li Feng is definitely famous now.

In addition to these two people, there are also representatives of Li Feng's investment company and a group of 4 staff members who came out of the elevator, all of whom went to Apple to sign contracts with others, and now they have all received each other's signatures.

In addition to the people on this side, there are also several lawyers representing the other side, and after Li Feng signs it, he will go back with the documents to reply.

First arrived at the conference room, and then under the witness of Jobs and Prince Waldley, Li Feng picked up a few Wenjia signatures, and finally drank a glass of champagne to celebrate, and then bid farewell to several lawyers, and also represented 10% of Apple's shares in the pocket again.

Naturally, they are all hidden funds in the name of private equity funds, at least Li Feng's Apple shares on the books are still the original 5%, there is no change, most of these private equity funds are registered in tax havens.

……

"John, this should be the last time you increase your stake in Apple, right?" As soon as he returned to Li Feng's large office, Gang Leader Qiao hurriedly asked Li Feng in an uncertain tone.

"Well, Steve, I promise you, this is the last time. Besides, didn't I tell you that my representatives at Apple will fully support you on the board of directors in the future. Li Feng looked at the Qiao gang leader in front of him, and couldn't help but laugh and said.

It seems that the current Qiao gang leader is really a bit frightened, and it seems that the memory of being driven out of the apple before is really a bit profound.

After that, the Qiao gang leader saw that there was nothing to do and left, and Prince Waldley, who was supposed to leave, unexpectedly stayed, which made Li Feng and Steve mumble in their hearts.

"Lee, I really have something I want to discuss with you when I come over this time, I wonder if you are interested in the Four Seasons Hotel?" Seeing Li Feng looking at him with a puzzled expression, Waldley explained his intention directly to Li Feng after Qiao Gang Leader left.

Hearing the words of the prince opposite, Li Feng couldn't help but be stunned, and then thought excitedly in his heart: "Interested, of course interested." ”

But his face was silent, in his previous life, it seemed that Prince Waldley was looking for a classmate Gates, and the two became the controlling shareholders of Four Seasons, so why did they come to find themselves now.

"Waldley, what do you mean, are you going to buy the entire Four Seasons?" Although he knew the history of later generations, and understood that Four Seasons was later made into one of the top luxury brand hotels in the world by Waldley and Gates, Li Feng still asked suspiciously.

……

"Lee, as you may know, I now own 25% of Four Seasons, but I know Sharp very well, the founder of Four Seasons, and he does have the intention of selling Four Seasons, but he asks him to run Four Seasons.

He is worried about the future development of Four Seasons, after all, building a top luxury hotel requires a lot of financial support, obviously, Sharp himself does not have such a large capital, so if there is big capital willing to support him, he is willing to sell the shares.

I do want to create my own top hotel brand, such as Waldorf Astoria and The Peninsula, but for the time being, I am a little bit difficult financially, so I am looking for a partner. ”

After finishing speaking, he shrugged his shoulders and said, I found you Li Feng in this way. Obviously, in Waldley's view, Li Feng is a good partner to work with, after all, Li Feng has taken a stake in Hilton Hotel, which proves that Li Feng also has plans to enter the hotel industry.

"Waldley, you should know, I have a stake in the Hilton Hotel, and I have also communicated with the old Hilton, in the future, he will gradually trade some of the shares of the Hilton to me, and then I will own the Hilton Hotel Group, I don't think I need to participate in the Four Seasons." Although he was very moved, Li Feng still asked with a smile.

"Lee, I think you can sell your stake in Hilton, and use that money to buy Four Seasons is more cost-effective, and Hilton is one of the largest hotel chains, but it's a pity that it's so fragmented that its top luxury brands have fallen behind the others.

Another is that today's Hilton hotels are only in the territory of the United States, and foreign ones are controlled by the London Hilton Group, and the two companies are controlled separately, which is definitely a major weakness for Hilton's global strategy, and I don't think Lee will fail to think of this.

Besides, from building a new top brand to sitting back and enjoying it, I think it's definitely more attractive to build it from scratch. ”

……

"Well, what are your plans for the next four seasons?"

"Lee, I knew you'd be interested, and I thought so, that we could build the hotel directly through our own real estate company, and then run it through the Four Seasons' ready-made operation and management model.

It is precisely because of this that Sharp will consider selling the shares of Four Seasons, after all, it does require a lot of money to build, and only those rich people in the consortium will be able to do so. ”

Now Li Feng is not a novice, as soon as he heard this situation, it was clear to Waldley's idea, people want to invest in building hotels by themselves, if it is launched globally, every time a hotel is opened, it will need to measure the funds.

In his previous life, Li Feng always wondered at the beginning, why the world's largest hotel chain such as Hilton Hotel had a market value of 2 or 30 billion yuan, and it was not until later that he learned that most of the properties of those hotels were actually not Hilton's, but just used Hilton's brand.

But Waldley means that he mainly invests in the construction, and the funds are not a small amount, naturally, he can also rent the site or something.

The main thing is to directly invest in the construction of hotels, but such hotels are often very risky, and if the market is a little worse, they will face huge financial pressure.

Today's Four Seasons Hotel is actually not a top hotel, the Four Seasons Hotel was only after Waldley's involvement, and later Gates's participation, and then with the support of these two people, the Four Seasons Hotel has become one of the synonyms of luxury hotels.
