097 George V Hotel
After getting into the car, Li Feng and his entourage listened with great interest to the introduction of the hotel guide to the hotel.
The George V Hotel is located in the famous Champs-Élysées, Avenue Monte, Avenue George V formed by the "Paris Golden Triangle" area, standing on the banks of the Seine River, was founded in 1928, experienced World War II, the original hotel was directly used to receive local dignitaries in Paris, after World War II, because General de Gaulle held a celebration banquet here famous all over the world.
From the French royal family to the European royal family and even to the royal families of all over the world, a lot of furniture and tableware in the hotel are used by the French king, the Russian tsar and the Queen of England.
The chairs made by the king, the knives and forks used by the queen, and the teacups held by Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, and Madonna are the worst of all.
Naturally, the hotel's location is excellent, in the most prosperous area of Paris, surrounded by greenery and quiet, which is unique among the entire Paris hotels.
As a hotel, natural eating is also a must, and it is the only hotel in Europe with three Michelin-starred restaurants, including a three-Michelin-starred restaurant.
Known as the "God of Food in Parisian Dining", Philips Legende is at the helm of exquisite French cuisine and elegant oriental cuisine.
……
There is also the hotel's unique SPA, the remarkable "Louis 16 style", several top masseurs work together to serve you, all-round pleasure of every cell of your body, luxurious swimming pool, vivid sculptures, historical murals, like the Palace of Versailles-like courtyard, bringing people the ultimate enjoyment.
Paris is the romantic and fashionable capital of the world, and the George V Hotel must be the best place to stay when visiting Paris. Of course, you also need to have financial support, and the most ordinary rooms cost a few hundred dollars a night, which is by no means affordable for ordinary people.
Li Feng listened to the introduction of the hotel reception staff, and felt more and more that he should have seen the introduction of this hotel on the Internet in his previous life, but it may have passed by in a hurry and was not impressed.
Finally, the receptionist added an extra sentence, saying that according to the news, a wealthy man is preparing to buy a hotel recently, and it seems that he is already negotiating, and it is said that he is an oil prince from the Middle East.
When the waiter's extra words just fell, Li Feng's doubts were solved in an instant, and he finally understood why he always felt that he should have read the introduction of this hotel, and the original reason was here.
Regarding the Middle East oil prince mentioned by the receptionist, Li Feng thought of the world-famous Saudi prince, Prince Waleed, the richest man in the Middle East and the Warren Buffett of the Middle East.
……
Now I finally understand why the name of this hotel always feels a little familiar, and I can't help but exclaim, "Damn, this is not the Four Seasons Hotel Paris."
When it comes to the hotel industry, brands such as Hilton, Four Seasons, Marriott, Intercontinental, Peninsula and so on are definitely famous, among which Four Seasons Hotels are famous for their luxury.
Later, the Four Seasons Hotel became famous all over the world because of the two major shareholders of Bill Gates and Prince Waleed, yes, it is now Microsoft's Bill Gates.
It seems that around 06 or 07, Gates and Prince Waleed invested billions of dollars in cash to acquire and privatize the Four Seasons Hotel.
Li Feng in his previous life, as a member of ordinary people, is naturally familiar with Bill Gates and Prince Waleed, after all, he is one of the richest people in the world, there are too many online news, and Li Feng occasionally pays attention to it.
Speaking of this prince, I immediately think of many famous companies, such as Citibank, Apple, Coca-Cola, Four Seasons Hotel, etc.
Among them, the prince is Citi's personal largest shareholder, Apple's shares are also a lot, at this time the Four Seasons shares seem to be a lot, these shares were invested in the 8 and early 90s, and these shares naturally skyrocketed in later generations, and also won it the reputation of "Buffett in the Middle East".
……
For the Four Seasons Hotel, Li Feng has naturally heard of it, although he has never lived in it, although he has a house and a car in his previous life, but he has to go to the Four Seasons Hotel to consume, and it may be okay once or twice once in a while, but if he wants to live for a long time, he will definitely not be able to afford to live for ordinary people.
In my previous life, I saw the news of the Four Seasons Hotel on the Internet, and it is said that in the early 90s, the Saudi prince acquired about 25% of the shares.
Now I heard this introducer say that a prince is negotiating the acquisition of the hotel, and Li Feng also knows that it should be at this time that the Saudi prince bought the George V Hotel, and then changed it to the Four Seasons Hotel, becoming one of the representatives of the top hotels in Paris.
The George V Hotel is one of the best places in Paris, located in the heart of Paris - the Champs-Elysées, surrounded by the Champs-Élysées, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, the Seine, the Paris Opera and many other world-famous buildings.
Naturally, due to the location, Galeries Lafayette, LV, Dior, Armani, Chanel and other famous stores are within easy reach, which can make those shopaholics go crazy.
As Li Feng and his entourage approached the George V Hotel, the George V Hotel at this time also ushered in a period of busyness, no way, according to the service of Yuntong, to let Li Feng enjoy the emperor-like enjoyment, naturally, the treatment is the top.
For example, choosing the hotel's top royal suite costs nearly $5,000 a night, you must know that this is not the era of the depreciation of the dollar in later generations.
Naturally, at a high price, nature gives you super enjoyment, three housekeepers, 6 waiters to provide you with 24-hour all-weather service, etc.
……
As the service staff of the George V Hotel were taking action for Li Feng's top enjoyment trip, it naturally attracted the attention of some people, wondering if it was a big man coming.
After all, just like the Waldorf Astoria in New York, the George V Hotel in Paris is often frequented by big names.
At this time, there is a group of people who are also curious to watch, after all, curiosity is human nature. At the middle table are two people, surrounded by security personnel who are faintly protecting them, proving that their identities are either rich or expensive.
"Isado, who do you think is here?" asked a middle-aged man in his 40s with diamond-encrusted sunglasses, short curly hair, a mustache, and Middle Eastern characteristics, to a white European and American man in his mid-60s.
"Who knows, but looking at this situation, it seems that the hotel's 'royal suite' has been booked, Waleed, didn't you live there before, how did you come out, you are a prince, naturally you need the royal suite to show off. The white man then asked with a laugh.
Listening to his questioning, it is obvious that the middle-aged man before should be a member of the royal family or a prince, if Li Feng was at the scene, he might recognize the person called 'Waleed' in front of him at a glance, after all, there were indeed too many news and photos about him on the Internet in his previous life.
That's right, the middle-aged man who looks around 40 years old is Saudi Prince Walid, the richest man in the Middle East and Warren Buffett in the Middle East.
……
"We came mainly for the hotel, and now we have experienced it.
Let's talk about the situation we discussed before, as a top person in the hotel industry, what do you think if the George V Hotel is transformed into the flagship and façade of the Four Seasons Hotel in Paris?"
"Walid, according to your previous plan, it will take 2 years to completely renovate and renovate the hotel, and the cost is not small, are you sure you want to do this?"
"I'm sure that, in my opinion, this is the best hotel in Paris, and it deserves to be the new signature of the Four Seasons, and after buying it, it must be renovated and renovated, and since it is the best, it needs the best to match it. Waleed replied domineeringly.
"If that's the case, it's the best, and when the renovation is complete, we can reopen it as the Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris, and I think it will be a great event for all of Paris." ”
Seeing the conversation between the two, it is obvious that the reception staff said that the hotel is now facing the acquisition is true, just as the two were chatting, there was a commotion in front of the hotel, obviously, the person to be greeted by the hotel should come, the two couldn't help but stop the conversation and looked curiously.
