Chapter 2027 Missed

"Oh, your hat," Ivanka moved her sunglasses to the top of her head and helped Feng Yiping adjust his hat. The action was as intimate as a wife treating her husband.

In fact, she was using this opportunity to observe Feng Yiping's eyes behind his sunglasses.

She saw Feng Yiping's eyes clearly, as gentle and indifferent as always.

Yes, how could he not guess her purpose?

"Thank you," Feng Yiping nodded, "Ivanka, I appreciate your direct frankness, your independence and enthusiasm, and of course, another aspect that you probably have heard enough praise for, your beauty,"

"Thank you, such praise, especially from you, Feng, I actually can't hear enough," Ivanka said with a smile.

She is very confident about this.

It can be said that among all the women present, she thinks that there is really no one better than herself in terms of appearance.

Even with the already star Alba, she is not inferior in aura. After all, she was a successful model in the past, and also participated in several variety shows of her father, acting as a host or judge, and is used to appearing under the spotlight.

However, in front of Feng Yiping, her happiness did not last long.

Born into a wealthy family, and with such a father, she knows very well that the so-called beauties are not a scarce resource for the wealthy people of Feng Yiping's level.

The key is whether they are interested.

At least for now, he is not as interested in her as she is in him.

And it can be heard that Feng Yiping's words seem to be a typical pattern of first praise and then depression, "But what?" She said.

"The main problem is that in the Chinese market, I think I don't need any partners at all to develop well,"

In China, what partners does he need?

To be frank, those who want to cooperate with him in China can be said to be looking for light.

"If I say that I don't need any partners to smoothly expand my business in China or the US, would you think that's too arrogant?"

Ivanka didn't understand why Feng Yiping, who always looked gentle, suddenly became so sharp and aggressive.

Looking at his eyes behind his sunglasses, Ivanka lowered her eyes, "No, of course you are capable of doing this,"

She knew that Feng Yiping's words meant that she wanted to put forward conditions, but she really didn't have many conditions to discuss.

If the brand of her own hotel is at least as well-known as Hilton, then there may be a possibility of cooperation with him in the Chinese market.

However, her own hotel brand is far from being comparable to Hilton.

Or, can she provide him with financial support?

This is even more of a joke that is not funny at all. Is their family as strong in financial strength as Feng Yiping? Feng Yiping's financial support to their family is about the same.

But they also know that no matter whether the outside world says he is conservative or short-sighted, Feng Yiping has never liked to operate in debt.

If he doesn't want the money from the bank, then why would he want funds from other sources?

"Feng, I think you must be considering how to develop your hotel in the United States, right?" Ivanka said.

Feng Yiping didn't say anything.

"Our family happens to have an advantage in this aspect in the United States, even more than some well-known hotel groups. You have been to Las Vegas, I think you should have seen our casino hotel there,"

"I think you know the rules here. Although China and the United States have different national conditions, there is actually no difference in some aspects,"

"To build a hotel, you also need to open up all kinds of relationships, and public relations is inevitable,"

"But in fact, the difficulty is not public relations, but not finding the right people and doing public relations in the right way,"

This is indeed the truth. Many times, we actually want to give gifts to avoid being troubled by our legitimate requests, or to let people take care of us, so as to gain advantages.

However, for people who have no connections, they will face the dilemma of having no way to give gifts, or being kicked out when they give gifts to the door.

"It just so happens that my father has been promoting the hotel business across the country since the 1980s, and has accumulated very deep connections in related areas. I think our cooperation will at least provide great convenience for you to expand your hotel business in the United States,"

"And you also know that because we are a family company, we will have great advantages in decision-making and efficiency,"

This is what Ivanka thinks is the biggest advantage of her family compared to Feng Yiping.

Many Chinese people think that in countries like the United States that implement capitalist free economy, the government does not control much.

In fact, anyone who has studied political economics will understand that it is absolutely impossible. Effective government regulation is the cornerstone of all modern social operations.

Whether it is a well-known specialized field such as national defense, or a popular field such as medical care, health, and education, to the planning, construction and maintenance of various infrastructures, and the supervision of various industries (especially the financial industry), they are inseparable from the tangible big hand of the government.

In this process, money will definitely be attracted to participate. Therefore, there is a view that money is the milk of Western democratic politics.

So in the United States, businessmen and officials will also collude.

On the surface, it is businessmen donating to officials for their campaigns. After being elected, officials will naturally provide convenience for businessmen.

This convenience includes not only some projects, but also the revision of relevant laws and regulations.

Afterwards, when the official steps down, he will also get feedback. He can choose to join various boards or firms. In short, what awaits him will be high-paying positions.

Therefore, when operating a commercial real estate project such as a hotel in the United States, the problems encountered in China will not be less, or even more. Not only must relevant officials and institutions be dealt with, but local residents must also be persuaded.

Feng Yiping has already experienced this in the process of building his own NEXTDOOR park.

Otherwise, why would his company choose to support the election of California legislators at that time?

Of course, there are many other expenses that Feng Yiping knows about, but he does not ask where they go. However, they are all handled by the law firm of Fremont and the accounting firm hired. Just like the mode of getting along between officials and businessmen, these are open secrets in the United States, with fixed routines.

Things will be done, and legal risks will be avoided.

Feng Yiping is currently investing in China and rarely encounters such situations, but in the United States, haha, it seems that there will be more such situations. In any case, he is an outsider.

If there is a professional like Ivanka's father Donald to help, things will undoubtedly be much smoother.

"Ivanka, do you know what the greatest freedom is for me now?" Feng Yiping asked instead of answering.

"Your greatest freedom at present?" Ivanka thought for a while, "Sorry, because I haven't reached your current level, I really don't know, but now that you say that, I am really interested."

"My greatest freedom at present is that if some money is not easy to make, then I can choose not to make it," Feng Yiping said easily.

"Maybe you don't believe it, but I tell you that in China, where you all think the integrity is not high, my company has never taken any means to obtain relevant conveniences,"

This is really not a big talk.

From the beginning to now, Feng Yiping has indeed insisted on doing this, that is, try to avoid those hot fields, otherwise, he can do a lot in the fields of real estate and mineral resources-for example, coal mines that everyone who has experienced it knows.

But he chose not to make that money.

In the long run, this did help him avoid a lot of risks, and at the same time, it also made the development of his company healthier.

Feng Yiping said this lightly and calmly, but Ivanka felt that it was extremely domineering. "If it's not easy to make money, choose not to make it?" She repeated involuntarily.

"Yes, I want to choose to try a hotel project in the United States first. If it's troublesome, forget it," he waved his hand.

But isn't this also a very negative attitude? Ivanka thought.

Feng Yiping's next words left her speechless again, "At worst, I will acquire another hotel group, and I won't have to go through the trouble of construction,"

Ivanka had nothing to say about this.

Yes, you have money, so you are right.

"I think I understand what you mean," she said.

At this point, she knew very well that it would be useless to try harder.

"So, are we done?" Feng Yiping looked at the beautiful woman who was sticking to him and said to her holding his hand.

"Oh," Ivanka let go of Feng Yiping's hand.

Feng Yiping breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know that what he had let go would be an opportunity that would have a greater return than any other business.

Perhaps, this was a decision that he would regret in the future.
