I earn really hard money

Chapter 395 The Marriott Family
dong dong dong.

He Xia was staring at the screen dazedly, when there was a light knock on the door, she said "Come in", and saw Pan Lanxin walking into the study with a silver tray.

"Secretary Lu said that you still have important things to do. I don't think you ate much at night. I went to the kitchen to make some for you with ready-made ingredients. It's not as good as the chef's."

Pan Lanxin placed the tray on the desk, and inside it was a steak, four fat and milky white oysters, a plate of delicate sauces, and a glass of green sparkling water.

"It's all right to eat, huh?"

He Xia's eyes were instantly attracted by the green drink, and he pointed to the glass with a strange expression and asked, "Are you implying me?"

Pan Lanxin curled her lips and said, "What can I hint to you? I know you like to drink Coke. This is a new taste I found. Try it."

"This is Coke?" He Xia picked up the cup suspiciously, put it under his nose and smelled it, his eyes lit up: "It's quite a fresh scent, what flavor is it?"

"Try it and see if you can guess it."

Pan Lanxin encouraged, with a hint of cunning hidden in his eyes.

He Xia swallowed his saliva, then took a sip, and then a strange look appeared on his face, probably it wasn't too bad to drink, and finally he didn't spit it out, but swallowed it with difficulty.

"Cucumber flavor? Don't make such outlandish things in the future, Grandma Te, I'll drink it for you!"

It's really strange to drink a cucumber-flavored cola that smells good, and it's a wonderful combination of two irrelevant elements!
Put down the cup and pick up the steak and take a bite, the mouth is full of juice. The top French Charlois steak is not inferior even to the A5 Kobe beef in the island country. The amazing fat texture is like a work of art, satisfying the appetite while taking care of to visual enjoyment.

The raw materials for a steak as big as a palm cost [-] pounds, which is not cost-effective at all, and some are extremely enjoyable.

"Hmm!" He Xia mumbled while chewing, "This is good, the skill of frying steak is pretty good!"

"As long as you like it, eat it."

Pan Lanxin had a smile on her face, with her hands behind her back, her fingers happily tugging at each other.

When traveling, Pan Lanxin has the idea of ​​learning all the way, whenever those Michelin chefs make food, she will carefully observe it, and occasionally ask some questions out of curiosity.

No one was wary of a young girl who was open-minded and eager to learn, and they answered her many cooking questions enthusiastically, and even gave her a good way to block the door with both hands.

He Xia didn't feel hungry at first, but when he took a bite of steak, the greedy worms were immediately hooked up, wiped out a piece of steak in two or three strokes, and wiped out a few oysters by sucking and sucking.

"It tastes good, the little butler is getting more and more... wait a minute!"

After supper, he was about to praise Pan Lanxin for his good craftsmanship, when the phone rang, and there was news from Siegfried.

On Christmas Eve, many shops on the streets of bustling New York are closed, but there are still some fast food restaurants open. Siegfried is sitting in a chain store specializing in coffee and hot dogs, and in front of him is a coffee he doesn't know where he got it. laptop.

"Mr. He, I have investigated the situation of Shiyuan Group together with my subordinates. Well, are you interested in this group?"

Siegfried nearly hiccupped as he spoke. He had just killed a heat bomb.

He Xia picked up the napkin and wiped her mouth, full of suspicion, Siegfried's words had a pun.

"Of course I'm interested, otherwise why did you ask me to investigate, what's the situation?"

Siegfried said: "From the information I have so far, including the Marriott Group you invested in, a total of four groups have launched an attack on the Shiyuan Group. It is estimated..."

"Wait, what did you say?"

He Xia's eyes were fixed, and there was disbelief in his voice.

"I said... Including the Marriott Group you invested in, a total of four groups have launched an attack on Shiyuan Group together. It is estimated that Shiyuan Group will not be able to survive and will be divided up soon!"

Siegfried didn't know why, so he quickly finished his words and waited quietly.

He Xia's eyes were dull, and he didn't expect that the group he invested in would also participate in the campaign to encircle and suppress Shiyuan Group. If Zhou Shiliu knew about this, wouldn't he be so angry that he would explode on the spot?
Now H·E Investment Company holds [-]% of the shares of Marriott Group, but it does not participate in the operation, but it has considerable rights and interests, at least when voting at the shareholders' meeting, it has a decisive weight.

With 13.00% shares, it is the third largest shareholder of Marriott Group, second only to Marriott Family's 11.00% and Pioneer Pioneer's [-]%, ranking third!

"Damn it!" He Xia swears, and then said: "Who are the other three families?"

"Well, there is the Hyatt International Hotel Group in the beautiful country with the Shiyuan Group, the InterContinental Hotel Group in the UK, and the Lotte Hotel Group in the Bangzi Country."

Siegfried replied quickly, and at the same time he was very puzzled, why the boss seemed to know nothing, it shouldn't be.

Marriott Hotel's actions are very secretive, but it is absolutely impossible to hide it from someone with a heart, not to mention H·E Investment Company, as the major shareholder, it is impossible not to know!
According to his conjecture, not only did the high-level officials know that they would attack Shiyuan Group, but they had already discussed how to divide up the fruits of victory, otherwise they would not cooperate together!
Judging from the actions of the four groups, it is obvious that they want to push the Shiyuan Group to a dead end, and then buy the hotels of the Shiyuan Group in various countries at a very low price!
If all goes well, each company can save at least [-] million US dollars in development funds. This has not counted the time cost. At the same time, it will also eliminate a thriving competitor, killing three birds with one stone!
"Excellence... InterContinental... Lotte..." He Xia muttered softly, suddenly felt something wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Does this Bangziguo Lotte Hotel Group have anything to do with Lepuxin Group?"

"Boss, you are really amazing. You have seen through such a hidden relationship. Lotte and Lepuxin are the relationship between the parent company and the wholly-owned subsidiary company, which is mainly dedicated to the operation of mid-to-high-end hotels!"

Siegfried sucks up all the time.

He Xia felt a little embarrassed. He just thought that both Lotte and Lepu Xinzhong had the word "乐" and thought it might be related, but he was wrong.

"Okay, I already know the matter, go and play, it's none of your business."

After finishing speaking, He Xia hung up the phone, but a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.

"Le Pu Xin, Le Pu Xin, I really didn't expect that there will be no encounters in life!"

There is no news of Adosad who returned to Syria for the festival, but He Xia judged that the guy who sent mercenaries to Huguang Manor must have something to do with the Lepuxin Group. up!

"What is Lepuxin? What's the matter?" Pan Lanxin stood aside and was very curious when he saw He Xia muttering to himself.

Only then did He Xia remember that the little housekeeper and cook was still on the sidelines, and she pinched her still elastic cheeks with a smile, and said, "Xinxin, sit down, I have to deal with some things!"

After speaking, he stood up and walked to the window, thought for a while, and finally called Boraton.

The grand Christmas party of the Duke of Lenstermar's family was even more lively than that of the Hungerford Castle Manor, and it was even better in terms of the number of people. The family gathered together, and there were more than a hundred people, not counting the staff of the manor.

A huge family that has been passed down for hundreds of years is like a towering tree with luxuriant branches and leaves.

It was lively until late at night, and finally when it was quiet, Boraton returned to his bedroom, took a breath of warm but deserted air, looked at the neatly made bed, and felt a little disappointed.

But the lost mood was interrupted by the ringtone of the mobile phone in an instant.

"He Xia?" Boraton looked at the phone with some doubts. The two had blessed each other earlier, and logically they wouldn't call so late.

After connecting, he said suspiciously: "Haha, honorable president, have you drunk too much?"

"Sir, I'm not crazy about drinking, I have something to ask."

He Xia's voice was very clear.

"It's not about asking for advice, Xia, just tell me if you have anything to say, and I'll tell you everything I know!"

Bolladon is very refreshing.

"I lost the contact information of Marriott III, Betra Marriott, can you find it?"

Betra Vitra Marriott is now the helm of the Marriott family and the largest shareholder of the Marriott Group. He is an old rich man who is nearly seventy years old.

"lost?"

A strange expression appeared on Boraton's face, and he was really convinced in his heart. He Xia invested more than 80 billion dollars in the Marriott Group, but even lost the contact information of the largest shareholder. It seems that this big boss is really not short of money!

He Xia knew that the reason was a bit strange, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I thought it was uploaded to the cloud, but after changing the phone, it disappeared. Tell me about this, hahaha."

"Haha, Xia, you young people like those high-tech things. Look, it's unreliable. I believe it must be in the old Duke's phone book. Wait for me to ask."

"It's troublesome, it seems that I have to be more careful in the future."

"It's a small matter. Father, it's me."

While talking, Boraton turned and walked out the door, and knocked on the door of Duke Lenstermar's bedroom.

After a while, He Xia heard the door open, and there was a simple exchange between Boraton and Duke Lensterma, and the answer was soon given.

He picked up the pen and wrote down Beitra's phone number, thanked him again, and ended the call.

"Haha, Mr. He is really careless." Pollaton smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Duke Lensterma closed the phone book and nodded without comment.

The small episode was nothing to the Duke of Lunstermar and Polarton, they chatted casually and then took a rest.

After thinking about it for a while, He Xia called Betra Marriott.

The manor on the outskirts of Washington with lake views and golf courses is magnificent. People nearby know that this is the manor of the Marriott family. It is magnificent and luxurious. It has stood here for more than half a century and has become a landscape.

Under the night, the manor was shining with brilliant lights. A Christmas tree more than ten meters high replaced the most dazzling fountain in the past and became the focus of people's vision. The tree was full of exquisite gift boxes.

All kinds of luxury cars in the parking lot in front of the manor, one after another, the gathering of the Marriott family, all the heirs gathered together, the sons and brothers competed with each other, and the ladies competed for beauty. It was no less than a wonderful red carpet show.

There is a long table of more than ten meters in the gorgeous restaurant. Men, women, young and old are dressed in bright clothes, and the servants are surrounded by everyone, busy in full swing.

With a gratified smile on his face, the old man at the head of the table was laughing with the grandchildren standing beside him.

"Mr. Marriott, your phone number."

A figure who looked like a butler walked up to the old man respectfully and handed over a mobile phone.

Beitra Wanhao looked at the mobile phone in the housekeeper's hand for a moment, it was the mobile phone used to contact friends and business partners.

"I'll go take a call."

Taking the mobile phone and looking at the unfamiliar number on it, Betra got up and walked towards the gate.

The phone kept ringing, and He Xia was not in a hurry. When the phone was connected, an enthusiastic but puzzled voice came from the receiver.

"Merry Christmas my friend, let me know who you are?"

The very strange number made the old rich man feel strange.

"Mr. Wanhao, I am He Xia from H.E Investment Company. Merry Christmas."

He Xia expressed his condolences, and immediately heard the other party's surprised voice.

"He Xia... Oh, Mr. He, Merry Christmas! It's the first time you call me on a personal phone. What a surprise, what's the matter?"

Beitra Wanhao stood outside the restaurant. Because of his absence, the family members sitting around the dining table stopped their knives and forks and were chatting happily.

He Xia never liked small talk, so he cut straight to the point: "Does Mr. Marriott know about the fact that Marriott Group participated in the siege of Shiyuan Group?"

Beitra looked at a middle-aged man who was half or half like him at the dining table very naturally, and said, "I know that John is responsible for this matter. I don't know what Mr. He means?"

John Marriott, Betra's eldest son, has basically taken over most of the affairs of the Marriott Group. He will officially become the No. [-] figure in the Marriott Group when he takes over the position from Betra.

"I hope Marriott Group can get out of this matter, and stop joining forces with other groups to encircle and suppress Shiyuan Group!"

He Xia didn't say a word of nonsense.

"Well……"

Betra Wanhao hummed without comment. Although he was old, his brain was still very flexible, and he instantly noticed something unusual.

"Mr. He, if I remember correctly, Zhou Yuanmin, the chairman of Shiyuan Group, seems to be from the Celestial Dynasty like you?"

"That's right." He Xia admitted this matter without hesitation, everyone is not a fool, there is no need to pretend to be confused, so he said: "And it's not just as simple as coming from one country."

Some relationships do not need to be pointed out, as long as the other party knows that there are internal reasons.

"This... ho ho."

Betra laughed dryly and said: "This matter is not my idea, nor am I leading it, but I do know that a shareholders' meeting was held in mid-October and a vote was held on this matter. At that time, Mr. He Doesn't seem to have been represented at the meeting?"

These words made He Xia instinctively stunned. Logically, such an important decision would naturally require a shareholder vote, but at that time in mid-October, he was not a shareholder of Marriott Group at all, let alone participate in voting...

"I believe that Mr. Wan Hao also understands the situation of H.E Investment Company. There was a very urgent task at that time. Maybe I was negligent, or maybe I didn't receive the news of the shareholders' meeting at that time?"

He Xia turned a blind eye.
