Chapter 490: It's okay to play once in a while
If you have money to do more good deeds, it is not for peace of mind, but for simple reasons, to help others.
Lee Chung-hee attends other people's charity dinners and charity auctions, but the Lee family also has its own charity fund, and it is getting bigger.
Lee Chung-hee and Lee Moon-hee, as part of the Lee family, must do it themselves when it comes to some charitable fundraising.
For example, right now, the two brothers have just had dinner, and after chatting and farting with Kim Benki, they are going to the Los Angeles Music Center to participate in a charity fundraiser of the Imperial Charity Foundation.
There are many ways to raise money for charity, but today's one is a charity fundraiser in the form of a theatrical concert.
"What do you think of the Four Seasons Hotel?"
On the road, there were only two brothers, and the two of them talked about more intimate things, and in front of them, they talked about the investment in the Four Seasons Hotel.
Four Seasons has been around since the sixties, but it really started to grow in the late eighties, early nineties.
Later, with the addition of Mr. Gates, the Four Seasons Hotel has developed faster and better, and today, there are more than 60 hotels and related properties around the world, and according to relevant estimates, the assets are about one billion US dollars.
Now, the largest shareholder of Four Seasons is still the founder Isado Sharp, and then Bill Gates.
Because the global economic environment is very good, it can be said that it is the best period in the past few years, so it is natural for Four Seasons to accelerate its development, and this is not just Four Seasons. The Ritz-Carlton, Hilton and other international hotel giants are stepping up their development.
However, for development to develop, you need money. The hotel industry is a long-term investment, that is, a large investment, slow return on investment, and a long-term flow of water, although the performance of the Four Seasons Hotel is good, but the liquidity is not much.
Bill Gates has money. However, he has a lot to do, and he is not willing to invest more money in this business. What's more, Isado Sharp definitely doesn't want to control the hotel because of this.
So, the introduction of a third became a natural thing.
And the Imperial Group is undoubtedly a very good collaborator.
First of all. The Li family is rich. But it's not strong, and secondly, once the Lee family joins, Lee Chung-hee's popularity opportunity will bring more people to the hotel, so even Mr. Gates is in favor of this.
However, for how much to buy, how much to price. But everyone is controversial.
The Li family wants at least two or five percent, or even three percent. Then the price is no more than $200 million.
The problem is that Mr. Izado is only 40 percent, Gates is 2 percent 5, and other people account for 3 percent of them, and it is very difficult to squeeze any of them out of 2 or 5 or even 30 percent.
This is not a company start-up, with two or three shareholders holding all the shares.
So, the price has become the second issue to be discussed.
"Whatever you want, or just take a look!" Li Zhengxi shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Now the economy is good, everything is expensive, more properties of the Four Seasons Hotel are rented, not their own properties, and the valuation they said is obviously too high for one billion US dollars, treat us as Kaizi!" ”
After a pause, he added, "I'm more interested in the Ritz-Carlton or the Hilton!" ”
"Are you interested in the sisters of the Hilton family," Li Wenxi joked with a smile: "Then just get them, then you will become the heir of the Hilton family, and the hotel will be yours!" ”
Li Zhengxi chuckled, "Don't say that they are not the real heirs, what they can get is limited, they have all of them, they are worth my dedication, and I am not rare in the Morgan family!" ”
The Paris Hilton sisters are nothing more than the great-granddaughters of Conrad Hilton, the founder of the Hilton Hotel, and his father is only the sixth son of their grandfather.
Just look at how "luxurious" their lives are when they are the heirs of the Hilton family and can only stay at the cheap St. Regis Red Tower Hotel.
In addition, although the entire Hilton Hotel Group is worth about $6 billion, the huge Hilton Hotel Group is divided into Hilton International Hotel Group, which is headquartered in the United Kingdom, and Hilton Hotel Management Company in the United States.
The former was separated early, and the former has a higher market capitalization, more than $4 billion.
If the equity that really belongs to the Hilton family is converted into money, it is not as much as Lee Chung-hee's "Twilight Zone", which only says buying books, and other marginal benefits are not counted.
This is the difference between the upper class and the quasi-wealthy.
"To be honest, the value of a hotel is the property," Lee Chung-hee said: "If those resorts are their own, then they are really rich, otherwise, they are just management, and the huge rent and other expenses themselves are a burden, which is actually not a good deal, and it is okay to have fun occasionally, there is no need to spend too much energy!" ”
"You kid," Li Wenxi chuckled, "You don't like hotels, and you have bought a house everywhere, and you can live comfortably, but what about other people, when entertaining others, you always need a place, to ensure privacy, and to have a relatively good face!" ”
Lee Chung-hee grinned, "Anyway, I'm the kind of person who likes to buy islands and sell land, and I like a more private space!" ”
"Like the Tatov family almost bought all of Cincinnati?" Li Wenxi said with a smile.
The two of them started talking nonsense, but the car was almost at its destination.
Lee Moon-hee, as one of the hosts, is only responsible for entertaining guests, while Lee Chung-hee also needs to perform.
In the form of musicals, it is natural that you can't sing pop songs, and those who are invited are some well-known or Lee Chung-hee saw, some excellent works.
It can't be the kind of very long, you can't do it for a few hours in a night, it's all short plays, about ten minutes, two and a half hours, there are a total of ten musical skits, among them, Lee Chung-hee himself wrote one.
This is the first musical script he wrote himself, a witty life joke, about a strange man and woman, a pair of love masters, when they meet their favorite objects, clumsy at first, and finally reveal their true nature.
The stage of the two people is very simple, and his partner is Anne Hathaway in front of him.
The reason why I found her is very simple, she can act, she has the talent of musicals, she can sing, and she just happened to meet in time.
"I really didn't expect our first collaboration to be a musical,"
Anne Hathaway smiled coquettishly, wearing a silky and close-fitting pink floor-length dress, looking noble and cute, and turned around in front of him, "How is it, pretty!" ”
"Of course," Lee Chung-hee smiled and began to change clothes, it is easy for men to change clothes, and there is no need to shy away from it.
Anne Hathaway's eyes lit up as she looked at him and took off only a pair of shorts, put her fingers in her mouth, bit them gently, and said, "Are you deliberately seducing me?" ”
Li Zhengxi turned his head in astonishment and chuckled, "Why do you say that?" ”
"Because your body is beautiful!" Anne Hathaway boldly reached out and touched his waist, "It's like a woman showing her wonderful body to a man!" ”
Then he suddenly slapped him on the ass and giggled, "It's very sturdy, it looks like you're pretty good at that!" ”
glanced at the bulging mass in front of him again, bit his lip, and deliberately glanced at him coquettishly, eating and smiling.
Lee Chung-hee chuckled and shook his head, "My dear, you're deliberately seducing me!" ”
So, Anne Hathaway also laughed, but changed the topic and said, "Seriously, when will we be able to collaborate on a movie!" ”
Still looking at him expectantly, "Like "Twilight" or something! ”
Li Zhengxi was stunned, then shook his head with a smile, "My dear, you seem to be a little older, and the protagonist in it is only a little over ten years old!" ”
"Cut, I'm only three days older than you!" Anne Hathaway pinched him angrily, "Aren't you going to be the leading actor yourself!" ”
"Who said that," Lee Chung-hee said in surprise.
"That's what everyone says out there!" Anne Hathaway pouted coquettishly, "Your fans also say that you must be the one who plays, and others will be blind when they act, so you have to boycott!" ”
Lee Chung-hee shrugged, "Okay, don't say anything else, Edward Cullen is a vampire, a guy who has lived for more than a hundred years, so, although he will always look seventeen years old, it's nothing to look a little older, not to mention, I'm so handsome, I look very tender!" “
"Uh, I'm going to throw up!" Anne Hathaway looked disgusted.
Lee Chung-hee was even more ruthless, "Honey, I can say it, this is not mine!" ”
"Bastard!" Anne Hathaway kicked when she raised her foot, and Lee Chung-hee wanted to hide, but he was wearing pants, and he couldn't show his super delicate kung fu, so he fell to the ground with a plop.
At this moment, Anne Hathaway was broken, and covered her waist with a smile, "Ouch, I'm really dying of laughter, I thought you were so good, you can fall down with a pair of pants, hahaha, I'm laughing to death!" ”
Unfortunately, Li Wenxi walked in, planning to let him meet a more important guest, an important member of a certain family of the Los Angeles consortium.
I saw him fall to the ground in a pair of shorts, and Anne Hathaway was there next to him.
Shrugged and rolled his eyes, "Okay, it looks like I'm disturbing your good thing, do you continue, or what to do!" ”
As he spoke, he went out first.
Lee Chung-hee spread his hands speechlessly and said to Anne Hathaway; "Am I really that badass!"
"Sort of," said Anne Hathaway, holding out her hand to pull him, smiling, "but what others think doesn't matter, how Alice thinks it matters!" ”
also smiled and asked with curiosity: "To be honest, you have slept with a lot of women, does Alice know how she did it, did she make you kneel on the washboard!" ”
This guy is too direct to speak, what is called a lot of women who have slept with it, kneeling on the washboard.
Li Zhengxi glanced at her a little speechlessly, and scolded in his heart, at least I'm not quite innocent with you, that kind of talk is too irresponsible! (To be continued......)
