Chapter 111: Pick it up
In New York, Feng Yiping and Buchanan, as well as Merbuck, who had just arrived from Washington last night, had breakfast together, and everything went well, and the three of them were in a good mood, so their appetites were also good. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Especially looking at Feng Yiping, who came back from a run in Central Park, eating bread and corn tortillas, eating corn tortillas and a piece of their signature red velvet cake, Buchanan and Merbuck also had a great appetite,
"It's the most I've had breakfast at a hotel," Buchanan said.
"It was the best deal I've had breakfast at a hotel," Mr. Merbuck said.
Merbuck actually changed his tricks and said that he ate a lot for breakfast.
"The power of example is endless," they looked at Feng Yiping.
"I can still eat again, it's just that there are too few varieties here," Feng Yiping didn't mind making a rice bucket with more people to eat.
Now, China is not a big tourist country, and the number of outbound tourists is limited, so these hotels in the United States have not yet launched a Chinese breakfast, and now they provide breakfast, which is either American or European.
As we all know, the breakfast in high-end star hotels in China has always been a combination of Chinese and Western, and there are really too many tricks.
"Yes, I miss breakfast at our own hotel," said Buchanan, who has been to China and Hong Kong and stayed at the Holiday Inn Plus in the provincial capital and Hong Kong.
"Is it really that good?" Murbach, who had never been there, could only imagine.
"Of course, that's magical Chinese food," Buchanan said, "Feng, when will we be able to have our own hotel in America?"
"In a metropolis like New York, there are too few plots of land suitable for hotels,"
Feng Yiping has not thought about this problem, but unlike China, the first and second-tier cities in China are now growing rapidly.
The United States and Europe, cities that are worth opening hotels, have long been developed very well, and the functional facilities are very systematic, and it is too difficult to find a suitable place to build a hotel.
"We can buy it," Buchanan said.
This Feng Yiping also didn't think about it, and he can really have it, but now doesn't seem to be the best time, 08 years, hehe, it should be a very suitable year - well, it should be a good year.
"I think this one is good," Merbuck said with a smile as he looked at the lavishly decorated restaurant, "If you buy this, do you think how many heads of state from all over the world will become our tenants?"
"Just because of your confidence in me, it's not impossible when the right time is right in the future," Feng Yiping smiled.
These two guys, when Buchanan went to contact McDonald's, he asked if he wanted to buy McDonald's, and now Merbuck is proposing that he buy the Waldorf Astoria Hotel!
The Waldorf Astoria Hotel, along with the Statue of Liberty, is one of New York's landmarks.
Many dignitaries, such as many retired presidents of the United States, celebrities such as the Duke of Windsor in the United Kingdom, royals in the Middle East, Hollywood stars such as Monroe, and many wealthy people, have long private rooms on the 28th floor, and the part called the "tower" has long private rooms; because of its proximity to the United Nations, many national leaders, including the President of the United States, choose to stay here during ......the United Nations General Assembly.
Even some official U.S. institutions, such as the official residence of the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, are located on the top floor of the 42nd floor of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
The same is true of our country, where our leaders have visited New York since '74.
If it weren't for Feng Yiping's great confidence, how could Merbuck come up with such an idea while having breakfast?
However, at this time, the Waldorf Astoria in New York was a relatively luxurious thing for Feng Yiping, and when Anbang acquired it later, the total price was close to 2 billion US dollars, or about 70,000 US dollars per square meter.
Even if inflation and other factors are excluded, that is, the Hilton Group now intends to sell, then it has to be about 1.5 billion US dollars, with this 1.5 billion US dollars, he will operate in the country, and build 10 Holiday Inn hotels, and in more than ten years, he will earn more than 1.5 billion US dollars, which is definitely more cost-effective than buying this.
Of course, the impact and publicity effect of buying this hotel is really not easy to measure in terms of money.
…………
Merbuck returned to Seattle from Chicago non-stop, then rushed to Washington, and then to New York, naturally not a joke, Feng Yiping planned to fly to Washington at half past 10 o'clock, and after breakfast, he presided over an executive meeting in the New York company.
"The theme of today's meeting is about collaboration," he said straight to the point, "as everyone knows, Coin Star and Redbox are now also owned by the company."
"The nextdoor website and these two businesses actually complement each other, and Coin Star and Redbox can provide better services to the registered users of our website,"
"For example, for those registered users who have a lot of change at home, you can make an appointment with Coin Star to provide them with a door-to-door exchange service, and this service is free,"
"redbox, it can also better and more conveniently meet the needs of registered users,"
"In turn, the registered users of our website can also develop into users of Coin Star and Redbox, and if such high-quality internal resources cannot be actively and effectively utilized, it is a great waste."
"And some work, such as the expansion of redbox, is imminent, today, all three parties are there, we must formulate a perfect action guideline out, how to cooperate without interference, by everyone to negotiate,"
The cooperation between brother companies, in such a self-interested environment as the United States, is not something that can be effectively implemented by Feng Yiping with a word, and it is unrealistic to help for free, and it must be charged as appropriate.
Among them, there are listed companies and non-listed companies, although Feng Yiping has always had high requirements for the company's financial management, and the unlisted nextdoor, and the listed coin star, the requirements for financial work are similar, but the supervision received is different.
As a public company, every business of Coin Star will be subject to public scrutiny, and its bid for the services provided by its brother units must be very reasonable.
It's low, nextdoor doesn't want to do it, if it's high, if the public doesn't do it, it will definitely shout about this collaboration, and there is likely to be a suspicion that a listed company illegally transfers benefits to a non-listed company controlled by the same shareholder.
"I would like to express my attitude to all of you here, I hope that these three projects can become brothers and sisters who love each other and help each other, and we cannot but pursue profits, but we cannot only pursue profits. ”
"Merbuck, tell me about the most urgent thing at hand,"
"DVD rental machines, McDonald's has some inventory, and given the good operations in Washington, we want to roll out the Redbox business in New York as soon as possible," Merbuck said.
"I think in this way, everyone should first draw up a general procedure for this matter, and there is no need to pursue too perfection, and it can be refined and improved in actual operation,"
"I have only one request, I hope that these three projects can improve each other, effectively promote, and most importantly, not just do discussions, but start work as soon as possible,"
"Specifically, Buchanan, Merbuck, you two will negotiate with everyone, and notify me of the results," he looked at the vibrating phone, "I have to rush to the airport, you continue,"
He waved at everyone and handed the bag to Owen, "Hey President Kim, are you still working overtime?"
The employees in the office area looked at him like this, knowing that he was leaving, and they all felt a little relieved that the ultimate boss was always by his side, and this thing was really not as wonderful as imagined.
In fact, Feng Yiping really behaved very gently in front of these employees, however, the shadow of people's fame, his fame, and his achievements were originally a kind of pressure on these employees.
Feng Yiping saw in the corner of his eyes that some people sat in their seats very relaxed after seeing him come out, a little funny, once upon a time, wasn't he the same?
"Well," Jin Ling rubbed her nose as if she was very invisible, "I was about to go home, I heard that you were doing well in New York?"
"Of course, who am I, what can I do not go well," Feng Yiping said, "It's just, what's wrong with your voice? Do you catch a cold? It's a change of season, you must be more careful,"
"No, it doesn't sound like I have a cold, are you alright?"
They are very familiar with each other, Feng Yiping knows Jin Ling's tone and habits of speaking, and immediately feels that something is wrong with her today.
"No, I'm a little cold, I cough badly, my throat is not very comfortable,"
Hearing Feng Yiping's words, Shanghai, Jin Ling, who was originally nesting on the sofa, sat up and tried his best to show himself normally.
"If it's really uncomfortable, you can rest for a few days,"
"I know, you, when will you be back?"
"Hehe, you must be missing me! It's been confirmed, just recently, there is something I have to come forward in person,"
"Oh, okay, then you're busy,"
Listening to the beep on the phone, Feng Yiping felt even more wrong, why didn't she sarcastically say a few words to me today?
He immediately dialed Fang Yingzhi's phone.
"Hello Yiping," Fang Yingzhi, who was outside the conference room, listened to the movement inside and said in a low voice.
"What's wrong with you, has something happened?"
Fang Yingzhi said succinctly, "Are you sure it's your ex-boyfriend? Also, why did she just cry in the conference room? Did that guy bully her?"
"No," Fang Yingzhi shook her head, if they let people bully Jin Ling in their own company, they would be too derelict in their duties, "It should be that after seeing Ma Wenhui, Mr. Jin remembered what happened before,"
"I know, you tell me to go down, if this guy dares to harass again, no, dare to appear in front of her again, no matter what background he has, don't scruple about it, greet me ruthlessly,"
