Chapter 1439: Buying the Peninsula Hotel?!
Yin Jun recruited Wei Li with far-reaching plans.
Long before Yin Jun went to the United States, he saw Wei Li's first acquisition.
At that time, a thought flashed through his mind, let Wei Li take care of the affairs of Wankang Company and even Kirin Mining Company.
Shen Ben is not impossible, but now that Shen Ben has been successfully elected as a member of the Western Australian Council, he will inevitably spend more energy on it in the future, and then strive for the interests of the Chinese in Western Australia, and more importantly, escort Kirin Mining.
Shen Ben is not a superman, and in such a heavy political and joint situation, he will definitely be scattered in business.
Therefore, it is necessary to choose a successor for him.
Yin Jun was not afraid of Shen Ben thinking too much, because this was also proposed by Shen Ben himself.
Of course, Shen Ben also said that if there is no suitable candidate, within three or five years, he will concurrently hold this position, and then he will no longer run for the council, and strive to do a good job in the work of the Kirin Group.
It was at that time that Wei Li, an Australian, came into Yin Jun's sight.
Wei Li has a very strong company management talent.
Although he also has great shortcomings, such as being arbitrary, arrogant, greedy for power, etc., it is indeed difficult to find such talents who can manage a company and bring it back to life.
Moreover, Wei Li has one of the biggest advantages, which makes Yin Jun inclined to choose him.
That is, Willy is Australian.
He was born with a sense of identity in Australia, and as the president of Kirin Mining, he will be recognized by Australians to the greatest extent.
Of course, you said that Wei Li chose to be a member of the council, and Shen Ben came back to be the president of Kirin Mining, okay?
Definitely yes!
It's just that after Wei Li became a member of the council, when his wings grew stiff, I am afraid it would be a little difficult to control.
Having become a senior councillor, he has too many resources to use and can exchange them for what he wants.
At that time, Wei Li's dependence on the Kirin Group will be very small, and maybe it will become an unstable factor in turn.
Shen Ben is different.
Not to mention that his family's lives were saved by Yin Jun, just saying that he is a Chinese doomed him to not get along with those Australians, what he needs most is the support of the Chinese, that is, Yin Jun's support.
On the other hand, after Wei Li became the president of Kirin Mining, then he ate Yin Jun's food.
Most of the employees below are Chinese, and they listen to Yin Jun more than him.
In such a situation, how could Wei Li make a fuss?
Therefore, the identities of Shen Ben and Wei Li cannot be reversed at all, otherwise it will drag down Yin Jun's plan.
Judging from today's contact, Wei Li is obviously very interested in Yin Jun's solicitation.
That's right.
Wei Li is a person who has been a senior member of Hutchison Whampoa, how can he succumb to a broker company like Asia Securities all his life?
He still has a lot of ambitions, especially to prove to everyone that his gray departure from the position of Hutchison Whampoa is not his fault at all, but due to Shen Bi's mediocrity and arbitrariness!
If he can make a career in the Kirin Group, and even become a member of the subjective side, then he will be able to return to Xiangjiang in style and show everyone his achievements.
Wei Li is not very old, only 51 years old.
In his previous life, he retired and returned to Australia before the age of 60, in addition to the reason why Shen Bi hated him and did not make him feel good everywhere in Xiangjiang, there were other factors related to the judgment of the political situation, which will not be mentioned here.
But no matter what, Wei Li's return to Australia to work is of great benefit to both him and Yin Jun, and he can't be moved.
……
Coming out of the Peninsula Hotel, looking at He Shengtian who was following next to him and frowning, Yin Jun was not curious.
"Brother Tian, what's wrong with you?" the young man asked.
"I'm thinking, the things in this Peninsula Hotel are delicious, and the environment is really good, but if you come so often, the purse is really a little unbearable!" He Shengtian sighed, "An ordinary afternoon tea party is more than 300, and the four of us sit down, which is equivalent to a month's salary of others! And if you want to eat and drink enough in it, at least three or four thousand can be done, too expensive!"
As Yin Jun's personal bodyguard, even if Yin Jun was in the Peninsula Hotel just now, He Shengtian and the others did not take it lightly, they all sat at a table next to Yin Jun.
When you enter the café of the Peninsula Hotel, you must have to spend money, otherwise others will definitely not let you in.
And the Peninsula Hotel's café is not something you can get in with money.
Unless you are a guest who lives here, you can enter the café as soon as possible, and people who come outside for afternoon tea have to queue up, regardless of your status.
Stand in line at the entrance of the café.
If there are too many people, you have to line outside.
It's a bit awkward.
If it's an ordinary white-collar worker, it's nothing, but if it's a businessman and the boss of the company, it's a shame.
So, some rich people have seized the loophole.
Didn't you say that guests staying here can go in for afternoon tea at any time?
All right.
If I rent a room at your Peninsula hotel for a long time, I'm eligible to come whenever I want, right?
The first person to do this was Shao Yifu Shao Liuye.
And then a lot of the rich did it.
Yin Jun is naturally the same.
Kirin Group rents a total of three rooms at The Peninsula Hotel, and the quota is usually used when important people from the group come over, or when important guests want to be entertained.
As for saying that these people often change, it is not specific to which person uses this quota, and the Peninsula Hotel also turns a blind eye, if it is too difficult, it is not a good thing to offend these super-rich.
It was with such a quota in three rooms that He Shengtian and the others could follow Yin Jun in.
Therefore, if they calculate carefully, they have to count the room fee of the three rooms adding up to thousands for this afternoon tea today.
It's more expensive than the price He Shengtian said.
Yin Jun doesn't like to waste, but in order to talk about things and business, he can't go to a tea restaurant to talk, right?
The atmosphere of business is directly related to the image of a company.
In the same way, where Yin Jun asks Wei Li to talk about things, it represents the importance he attaches to Wei Li.
The Peninsula Café is one of the best choices.
However, when He Shengtian mentioned this, Yin Jun also nodded, "It's indeed a bit expensive." ”
After a pause, he said again, "Brother Tian, you said that I will buy the Peninsula Hotel in two years, and then we will come to eat and drink, so we don't have to spend money, okay?"
He Shengtian: "......"
Several bodyguards next to him also looked munch.
They thought to themselves, Jun Shao, your thinking is too spreading.
We're just talking about the Peninsula Hotel's afternoon tea is expensive, so why don't you buy it for free?
They all thought Yin Jun was joking.
Only Yin Jun himself knew that he was not joking.
A comprehensive group needs a chain of hotels.
This hotel chain doesn't have to be big, it doesn't have to be like Holiday Inn, Starwood, Hilton and the whole world is full of their hotels, but it has to be sophisticated and elegant.
Take, for example, the Peninsula Hotel behind them now.
In 2020, there weren't many Peninsula hotels, and the total number of hotels in the world was less than ten.
But every time you open a Peninsula hotel, it becomes a hot spot in the region.
In particular, the headquarters of The Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong is known as one of the top 10 hotels in the world.
Xiangjiang is just them, and even the Mandarin Oriental Hotel has not been rated.
As a hotel, in 100 years, it moved from Huhai to Xiangjiang, but it has never used only the silver soup spoon cutlery of one workshop and the carpet of one workshop...... It has not changed for so many years, which requires a very good tradition and management method.
It's clear that The Peninsula is a prime example of this.
So they did it very successfully, and no matter where they opened a branch, they were all the same customers.
In this world, there is no doubt that many people pursue cost-effective travel, but there are also many rich people who pursue a comfortable feeling.
It can't be said that we don't understand the world of rich people, but at least they are still very particular about the quality of life.
The Peninsula is a favorite of a group of such wealthy and elite.
It's also hotels like The Peninsula that tell people in the hotel industry that hotels don't have to be bigger and have more branches to make money.
As long as you do well, even if you only have one or two stores, you can make a lot of money.
Yin Jun likes the Peninsula Hotel very much, he came to Xiangjiang to travel in his previous life, and he wanted to stay here for one night, but the room fee of about 2,000 a night is not something his salary can afford, so he can only take a picture of the fountain at the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel to commemorate it.
The boy had always had such an idea in his heart, but he hadn't completely settled on it yet.
Or maybe not looking for a good time.
The reason why I talked about buying the Peninsula Hotel today is because Yin Jun met Wei Li and remembered what Wei Li would do in the future.
In another stock market crash in the past few years, Liu Zhaoxiong, that is, the star killer Liu Datou, once maliciously sniped the stock of Huhai Hotel Group.
The Huhai Hotel Group is the parent company of The Peninsula Hotels and one of the assets of the Kadoorie family.
Together with Liu Zhaoxiong, there was another group of people who sniped at the Huhai Hotel, and that was the foreign funds led by Wei Li.
In order to calm things down, Kadoorie finally paid a lot of money to settle the two of them.
Yin Jun will not use that kind of inferior means to buy.
This personal image that has taken so much time to erect the reputation and character of Yin Jun, which involves the entire reputation and character, must not collapse because of the acquisition of a hotel.
Yin Jun's goal is to be like Li Chaoren, who can borrow money by relying on his own name!
But since Wei Li can snipe at the shares of Huhai Hotel Group, why can't Yin Jun directly ask for a tough acquisition of Huhai Hotel Group when they are in difficulty?
Thanks to the rules of the Xiangjiang stock market, the Kadoorie family occupies no more than 35% of the shares of the Shanghai Hotel Group, and even if they have some shares in private, they will not exceed 45% at most.
It's not that they don't have the money to increase their holdings to 50%, it's because they don't have the need.
The Kadoorie family has always been one of the top 10 in Hong Kong, and they have a lot of wealth at their disposal, so if they encounter a hostile takeover, they can calmly respond to the battle without panic.
But these are just for ordinary acquirers.
If a super-rich man like Yin Jun is eyeing the Shanghai Hotel Group, it is not so simple.
In fact, Yin Jun already had a plan in his heart.
If you're lucky, maybe you'll be able to get your wish in this round of stock market crash?
No hurry, no hurry.
There are still almost two years to go.
Now it's too late to start laying out!
Looking back at the quaint buildings of The Peninsula Hotel, Yin Jun smiled slightly.
By the time I bought it, it was time for the new high-rise building behind them to start ahead of time!
