Chapter 699: The Largest Shareholder of the Hilton Group!

For a commercial bank, the fastest way to increase total assets is naturally to lend.

The total assets of Nanyue Bank exceeded 200 billion yuan last year, and Shen Lang set a target of 400 billion yuan for Nanyue Bank this year.

Originally, it was difficult, but now the opportunity is in the hands of Nanyue Bank.

Nanyue Bank provides Huayao Group with a credit line of 5 billion US dollars, which is already the limit of Nanyue Bank's current size.

This is still because Nanyue Bank relied on Shen Lang's various ways to stimulate, and the amount of deposits absorbed by it rose sharply.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to support Shen Lang with five billion US dollars, and the rice had to be eaten one bite at a time.

Nanyue Bank invested 5 billion US dollars, and ICBC's large volume of 5 billion US dollars is naturally not a problem.

Shen Lang personally invested 10 billion US dollars, which was the first acquisition money.

A total of 20 billion US dollars, the money of Nanyue Bank and ICBC is lent to Shen Lang, and Shen Lang needs to repay the interest.

Normally, it is impossible for Huayao Group to easily obtain such a high credit line.

Even if Nanyue Bank is Shen Lang's own bank, he has to give a reasonable reason.

Otherwise, how could the CBRC approve it?

The only and most powerful reason for Huayao Group, which is fully controlled by Shen Lang, is that the subsidiary of Huayao Group has Versace Group.

The Versace Group is also a wholly-owned company of Shen Lang, and it is not unusual for it to be merged into Huayao Group.

But for Nanyue Bank and ICBC, it was more shocking, and the Versace Group was only worth $2 billion when it was acquired by Shen Lang.

But now that the market value has reached at least $4 billion, Sandro is a design genius who brings Versace back to life!

Huayao Group is not a shell company, but a subsidiary of Versace Group, which has a high reputation all over the world.

With the injection of 10 billion US dollars from Nanyue Bank and ICBC, the investment department of Huayao Group suddenly has a liquid capital that everyone is crazy about.

As much as 20 billion US dollars were piled up in the account of Huayao Group, and Huayao Group began to show its fangs for the first time!

……

September 12th.

Hilton holds a press conference.

Outside reporters flocked to the news, and the news of HNA's asset sale was clear to the world.

How brilliant it was at the beginning, how depressed it is now.

HNA's sale of Hilton's shares this time was also a last resort, and HNA originally had its own plans.

But the plan is the plan, and if the capital chain is broken, you can only survive with a broken arm.

HNA Group and Huayao Group signed a contract to transfer shares, and Huayao Group succeeded HNA Group to become the largest shareholder of Hilton Group!

In an instant, Huayao Group, an unknown company, shocked the world in one fell swoop.

The details of the deal were also officially revealed by the host of the press conference.

HNA plans to sell its 25 percent stake in Hilton to Huayao Group for $7.15 billion.

The origin of Huayao Group is mysterious, and it is unbelievable that a company that has never heard of before has become the largest shareholder of the world-famous Hilton Group!

Li Xiang, who was responsible for signing the contract with Hilton Group, was awarded the position of senior vice president and director of the investment department of Huayao Group.

Li Xiang agreed without hesitation, Prius Investment is now rarely able to invest in companies with potential.

In the face of the employment of Huayao Group, Li Xiang is of course willing to show his ability in front of the world.

A female reporter at the scene immediately asked: "May I ask Mr. Li, why did Huayao Group have never been famous before, but suddenly acquired Hilton Group?"

Li Xiang replied with a smile: "Correct this reporter's question, Huayao Group is not not famous at all, but it was too low-key before, and a subsidiary of Huayao Group must be known to you, that is Versace Group." ”

"What?"

Everyone at the scene looked at Li Xiang with a shocked expression, the Versace Group is also a subsidiary of this mysterious company?

Li Xiang ignored everyone's surprise and said: "For the acquisition of Hilton Group's shares, we will not consider selling shares in the short term, and we will carry out long-term cooperation around Hilton Group." ”

After the press conference, Li Xiang met with Christopher Naseta, chairman and CEO of Hilton Group.

After Huayao Group moved in, Blackstone Group previously reduced its stake to 21%, but it is still the second largest shareholder.

Naseta is a professional manager, including Hilton, where 90% of the management is now a professional manager.

This is the transformation of Blackstone Group to Hilton Group after the introduction of Blackstone Group.

Naseta still attaches great importance to Huayao Group, and the current board of directors has a total of eight people.

Huayao Group has the right to add two additional members of the Board of Directors, one of whom is an independent director and the other is a member of Huayao Group.

Li Xiang has already thought about the allocation of these two places, and the most important thing is that the right to speak that Huayao Group needs has finally arrived.

Don't look at Naseta in front of outsiders, she is the chairman and CEO of Hilton.

But if Huayao Group and Blackstone Group want to replace Naseta, it will not be difficult at all.

Naseta knew this, so he had extra respect for Li Xiang.

It is particularly difficult to be the CEO of such a large group, and you need to weigh the interests of all parties in order to secure your position.

Naseta knocked on the side to find out who the boss behind this mysterious Huayao Group was.

Li wanted to convey what Shen Lang ordered to Naseta, but Naseta was a little surprised and said, "Li, you mean that all high-end hotel brands of Hilton should open membership permissions to Nanyue Bank?"

"That's right. ”

Naseta hesitated, "This needs to be approved by the board." ”

"I understand, you can have a board meeting right away. Li Xiang smiled indifferently.

Nanyue Bank is in dire need of resources from Hilton, a world-renowned hotel brand.

According to Shen Lang's plan, Zijin card holders of Nanyue Bank can automatically enjoy the membership of all Hilton hotels and enjoy preferential discounted prices.

Naseta immediately convened a board meeting in the afternoon to vote on the matter.

There are a total of ten members of the board of directors, of which Huayao Group, represented by Li Xiang, has two votes.

Blackstone also holds two board seats, one of which is Jonathan Gray, the chairman of the board.

Jonathan Gray is, of course, the boss behind Li Xiang is Shen Lang, who let the Versace Group be sold to Shen Lang by the Blackstone Group.

So Jonathan Gray showed kindness to Li Xiang, and took the initiative to persuade other members on the board of directors.

Huayao Group has just joined Hilton Group and is still the largest shareholder.

The other board members did not want to offend Huayao Group, plus they had the help of Blackstone, the second largest shareholder.

Nanyue Bank naturally completed the strategic cooperation with Hilton Group, and Li Xiang also completed the task assigned by Shen Lang.
