Chapter 630: The Peninsula Hotel

Gang Kong, Queen's Road, Hong Kong Pearl HSBC Bank Building.

The headquarters building, which was repaired and rebuilt in 33 years and half of it is not in use, was designed by the Chicago School.

With a total height of 70 meters and a total of 13 floors, it is the largest building in the Far East and the first building equipped with central air-conditioning in Gangjiang.

It was already afternoon when Elena arrived at the headquarters, and the chairman and the president appeared in her office at the same time.

"Why, can't wait to get the news now?" Seeing the two of them, Elena sneered with a smile on her face.

"Elena, Sassoon is also an important member of HSBC, and this is for our common interests." Chairman Qiao Muli said kindly, not being ridiculed by her at all.

Hearing what the other party said, Elena had nothing to refute but she didn't want to make it easier for them, so she replied with silence instead, 'Let them be anxious for a while. '

A little bad taste can't cause any trouble, but it can make her feel happy. Who let these two bad old men try to play tricks on her man!

When HSBC was first established, it absorbed a lot of capital and formed a powerful force, allowing it to grow rapidly.

But this also hinders the development and growth of the company. There are too many different voices in a company, which will consume a lot of energy and time on internal friction.

After all, as the company grows, representatives from different capital interests also have different demands and ambitions, and conflicts are inevitable.

So later Baoshun Co., headed by British capital, joined forces with Fei Licha Co., Ltd. and Sassoon Co. to squeeze out committee members who were not conducive to development.

Allowing HSBC to change from a committee to a board of directors, it has been able to develop to where it is today.

With the growing British capital, Sassoon's voice in the bank is also weakening, especially after Sassoon's British branch stepped in, their life became more and more difficult.

It doesn't mean that everyone named Sassoon, who have the same blood, will love each other. The one who hates Sassoon in the Far East in HSBC happens to be this 'distant blood relative. '

"Elena, we want to know his attitude." In the end, CEO Lehman couldn't bear it, and asked again on his own initiative.

"What kind of attitude can you have? His original words were...can it be resolved?" Elena leaned casually on the back of the leather chair, her beautiful legs curled up together were extraordinarily charming.

"What do you want to do?" Both of them understood the subtext of this sentence.

If Elena can't handle it, then he can handle it himself. HSBC wants benefits, not enemies.

Especially after seeing the strong financial strength of Chase and Fuguo, Fuguo easily mobilized about 230 to 300 million U.S. dollars to attack Japanese debt this time.

The market capitalization of HSBC is not low. In the Far East, except for Jardine, it can be said that no one dares to oppose them.

But for them to mobilize funds, let alone 300 million, it will take several months to prepare for 200 million. Cash and market value are always two concepts.

There is also a frenzy of acquisitions in Japan. Chase is biting every profit it can get like a hungry wolf, and its ruthless operation makes people see its ruthless side.

Misjudging the strength of the "enemy" made these two big men who are in charge of the wind and rain in the Far East very uncomfortable.

If they had realized the capital held by Li's Holdings earlier, they would not have recklessly wanted to take advantage of it.

"I apologized in the newspaper announcement. Before that, HSBC misunderstood the regulations of Wells Fargo. After the announcement, I took the initiative to help Wells Fargo attract customers. I believe he will be satisfied."

...

Li Zitao didn't know what the chairman and president of HSBC were thinking. If he knew, he would definitely jump up and spit in each other's faces.

Small cheap, with an annual profit of more than 10 million yuan. In the future, the business will be worth tens of billions of dollars.

At this moment, he was talking about the city of Gangjiang with Lin Shiyin, and by the way, he was waiting for the potbellied Jazz next to him, who was dressed in standard British attire, to speak up.

"Your Excellency, what do you think of the Peninsula Hotel?" After the two stopped talking,

While looking out the window, Sir Eli spoke.

"The ingenious classical carvings are accurate to an admirable scale, and there is a sense of ritual everywhere, which makes guests spontaneously respect and yearn for it."

Li Zitao's high praise made Ellie overjoyed, and with irrepressible pride, "Your Excellency Marquis also has research on Western art? In order to build this hotel, I hired three master sculptors from Europe and spent 260,000 yuan." pound."

"That's why we have the praise now, isn't it a good deal?" Li Zitao laughed.

"Yes, haha..." Sir Ellie smiled triumphantly, and changed the subject a moment later: "Your Excellency the Marquis thinks, how about letting the peninsula appear in New York?"

"It's a good idea. You must tell me when it's finished. I'll visit it." Li Zitao said naturally, as if the other party's words were just to invite him to show respect.

"It must be a grand occasion, but the land in New York is very tight. The peninsula has not found a suitable land. I wonder if the Marquis can help?"

"What place do you like?" Li Zitao only regrets that he doesn't have enough knowledge in his head. Does the Peninsula have a hotel in New York?

"The intersection of Fifth Avenue and 55th Street, Manhattan, Gotham Hotel." Speaking of his goal, Sir Eli's eyes became full of fighting spirit.

The first time he saw the Beaux-Arts (academic) architectural style of the Gotham Hotel, the stone carvings at the door, the copper ornaments, and the two Dorian-style striking stone pillars, he decided that it was what the peninsula should look like.

"Gotham Hotel?" Li Zitao felt a little embarrassed, he had never heard of the name, let alone its appearance.

On the contrary, Li Zitao has a general impression of this address. The core area of ​​Midtown Manhattan is not far from Rockefeller Center.

"If necessary, I can help the Jazz match up." Li Zitao would not object to such a simple task.

Afternoon tea on the peninsula disappointed him a bit, but Li Zitao was still deeply impressed by its service.

Especially the wine-green Rolls-Royce Ghost 2 car at the door, and the doorman service that makes people feel happy.

If there are more families in New York, Li Zitao can also go to more places, taking his little lover to have sex, it must feel very good.

Li Zitao is not afraid of competition, only when he has comparisons can he choose. Although he has never been a professional designer, he has also masqueraded in many hotel styles on the computer.

Thoughts that are a century ahead can't be dealt with, money can't be dealt with, and if all those famous designers are invited, he doesn't believe that it can't compare with other hotels in terms of hardware.

Besides, the hotel handed over to Lily is a different concept from the other party, and it will be more inclined to create a comfortable and family-like hotel-style apartment.

Warm, comfortable, relaxed and pleasant, and you can experience the feeling of home when you are outside. This alone divides the two parties to serve different customer groups.

"I have already talked with the other party personally. There is no problem in the transaction, but there is a little trouble in terms of clothing." Sir Eli compared the tip of his nail with his finger, emphasizing how small the so-called trouble was. . '
