"Charles and Gerald, welcome both!"

"John, you've got a problem for us. ”

"Hehe... Charles, I'm giving you a really good opportunity, and I guess it's the best option for both of us, isn't it?"

"Alright, Charles, John, let's sit down and have a good talk!"

"Yes, Charles, I think Gerald's words are true, if you weren't interested, maybe there wouldn't be this interview, right?"

"Well, then John, let's talk about it. ”

"Please...!"

“...”

After Li Feng finished chatting with his real estate generals, Li Feng contacted Prince Charles and the Duke of Grosvenor on the same day, and expressed his intention to acquire the building of Admiralty Gate and transform it into the London flagship of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

The building belongs to the royal family, but the building is in Westminster District, the nest of the Duke of Grosvenor's family, Li Feng naturally contacted him, and after Li Feng's explanation, the two did not immediately refuse, but said that they needed to discuss with the queen and the executives of the royal asset management company.

No, three days later, the prince Charles and the Duke of Grosvenor personally brought the executives of the royal asset management company to the headquarters of the London company of Skyline Real Estate to discuss and negotiate the situation of the Admiral Gate.

Obviously, Li Feng's proposal is still very exciting to the royal family, after all, Li Feng is talking about cooperating with the royal family to develop the Admiralty Gate, so that the royal family can directly own the shares, and according to the situation of London real estate, even if the hotel is officially established, the hotel itself needs to pay the royal asset management company a land rent.

Yes, this is the case with real estate in Europe and the United States, the land and the building are basically separated, and the rent alone is not a small amount, which is indeed a lot of income for the royal family.

......

A group of people arrived in the conference room, after a period of greetings and mutual introductions, the CEO of Skyline Real Estate London Company personally explained, first of all, the planning of the Admiral Commander Gate was explained in detail, there is no doubt that the Waldorf Astoria London flagship is naturally a top hotel, a variety of top facilities and luxury suites and supporting restaurants, bars, leisure facilities, etc., are the top enjoyment.

Then there are the relevant responsibilities and obligations of both parties, such as the operation of Li Feng's Waldorf Astoria Hotel, which is actually Hilton's hotel operation team, and the need for the support of the royal family and the London high society, such as the royal family putting those gatherings and everything in the hotel, etc., to promote the development of the hotel and so on.

Both sides are very clear about this, and the next point of discussion is about the rent, mutual ownership of shares, etc., after all, it involves the ownership of such a top hotel, and it is worth a lot of money.

The first is to determine the lease period, after some bargaining, determined a long-term lease period of 250 years, for this building royal family and the British government can not be directly sold, after all, this is one of the ancient and landmark buildings in London, it is really to be sold, this is a face-to-face, and finally choose a long-term lease, the lease period is directly to 250 years, which is also an alternative 'sale'.

Next is the most important issue of shares, as soon as the people brought by the royal family came up, they directly said that they wanted half of the equity of the future hotel, which made Li Feng and others shake their heads.

"Charles, you see how this is, we jointly set up a hotel management company, Skyline Real Estate Company with a professional management team and capital shares, and you use network resources and cash to invest in shares, and then in the name of the company to buy Admiral Admiral's Gate and the next renovation.

Next, how about discussing the issue of the proportion of capital contribution and the calculation of the discount of the human and material resources invested by both sides?" Seeing the managers of the two sides arguing, Li Feng suddenly smiled and proposed to Prince Charles.

"John, you're a general, you know that our royal management company doesn't have too much cash to compete with you!"

"Oh my God, Charles, are you short of money, I think you really want cash, there are so many banks in London, you want as many as you want, don't you?"

"Uh... , don't talk about it, then let's discuss it as you say!"

“...”

......

Hearing that the two bigwigs on both sides set the tone, the managers below spoke out again and argued, to be honest, it was not much different from bargaining for vegetables in the vegetable market.

As a result of the discussion, in the end, the group of the royal family management company proposed that the rent should not be abandoned, and that the rent should be directly used as a shareholding, according to the rent of several million pounds per year, the total cost of 250 years is not small, but this is 250 years of rent after all.

Well, it's a bit like an empty glove white wolf, but unfortunately, whoever makes this building land belong to someone else, Skyline Real Estate will have to bear the cost of all the hotel renovations, which alone will cost at least 2-300 million pounds or more.

In the end, it was determined that the Royal Asset Management Company will hold 30% of the shares of the hotel in the future, and will send in some senior executives including finance and administration, and the hotel management and operation will naturally belong to the hotel group under Skyline Real Estate.

For such a final result, both for the royal family and for Li Feng, it is acceptable, for the royal family, compared to the fixed annual rental income of several million pounds, the future hotel 30% income will obviously be higher.

For Li Feng, it is considered to be 'free' to get a suitable hotel building, although he paid 30% of the ownership, but whether it is the management of the hotel or the identity of the major shareholder, it is very reasonable, besides, to further strengthen the connection with the British royal family, for Li Feng, it is still very meaningful.

Seeing that the negotiations were basically completed, Li Feng instructed to sign a formal contract as soon as possible in a fast rhythm, but this requires the Queen's formal consent and signature and the consent of the City of London, after all, this is one of the landmarks of London.

"Charles, Gerrard, we are also the best partners, best friends, I hope to complete the signing as soon as possible, and I also hope that our hotel can be launched in London as soon as possible, what do you think?"

"Don't worry, John, since everything has been negotiated, then it's up to us next, as long as you are ready, it won't take more than half a month at the latest, and we will be able to officially sign the contract." ”

"Okay, then I look forward to good news from you. ”

"Hehe... and you won't be disappointed. ”

“...”

......

After negotiating the most important things, Li Feng was also ready to leave London temporarily.

In the last few days, Li Feng went around the major companies in London again, and after several gatherings with friends from all walks of life, he finally took people back to the United States.

"Charles, it's up to you next, I'm waiting for your good news. ”

"BOSS, don't worry, just wait for our good news. ”

'David, Chelsea please, I hope this year is a fruitful year for Chelsea. ”

"Boss, we're looking forward to it!"

“...”

Under the farewell of a group of subordinate executives, Li Feng took people on a private plane, and under the gaze of everyone, the plane took off from Heathrow Airport.
