I earn really hard money

Chapter 398

"He Xia, this is, do you know who is behind my dad's group?"

Zhou Shiliu felt chills in his heart. From the current situation, we can easily judge the situation of Shiyuan Group. I am afraid that it has reached the verge of life and death!

There are advantages to doing business all over the world, but there are also disadvantages. The biggest problem is the management of personal connections.

Zhou Yuanmin is exquisite in all aspects, but he can't coax the governments of every city that builds Shiyuan Hotel into comfort. At most, he can only avoid being made things difficult for him.

But if someone fanned the wind in the dark and lit a will-o'-the-wisp, there would be no guarantee that nothing would happen.

Just like the Shiyuan Hotel in Seoul, due to the seriousness of the incident, it has been banned by the local area. If it is not handled well, it is estimated that it will not be able to operate for a long time and will face punishment.

"Ho ho..." He Xia sneered and said, "There were originally four houses, but now there are three left."

"My God, the four families!"

Zhou Shiliu took a deep breath, and suddenly heard the voice of her mother calling her to eat from inside the house, but she didn't have the heart to respond, so she casually said something, and then asked: "Which four?"

"InterContinental, Excelle, Lotte, and, cough...Marriott."

He Xia didn't hide anything, he believed that these information could be found out with a little effort.

"InterContinental, Excelle, Lotte, Van... What, Marriott?"

Zhou Shiliu murmured softly. Apart from Lotte, the other two hotel groups in front of her were not very familiar, but when she mentioned Marriott, her face froze, and she raised her voice in disbelief: "You, Marriott, you are a shareholder of Marriott. Bar……"

"Hey, don't get excited."

He Xia laughed dryly, and he also tried a little bit. Sure enough, the portal had already modified the memories of the people around him. Zhou Shiliu immediately remembered that he was the major shareholder of the Marriott Group...

"Well, you know who I am. I usually don't bother to attend shareholder meetings. I didn't know that the Marriott Group decided to unite the four companies to deal with the Shiyuan Group. I just found out today, and they have already stopped..."

When Zhou Gangdan was in trouble, he used both sides, and the company he invested in actually plotted against his father's group, which was somewhat embarrassing.

Zhou Shiliu shook his head with his forehead, what a big-hearted investor, he didn't even attend the shareholder meeting, what a model!

"I'm determined... It's not easy for you to convince those guys! Thank you..."

Although He Xia said it lightly, Zhou Shiliu felt that it must not be so smooth. It is not easy to change the decision of the entire board of directors by himself!
What she wanted to say at the beginning was that since He Xia was a shareholder of Marriott, even if he couldn't stop this matter, at least she should write a letter in advance so that her father could take precautions so that he wouldn't be as passive as he is now...

He Xia said vaguely: "It's okay, anyway, the Marriott Group will withdraw from this plan."

Zhou Shiliu said quite powerlessly: "He Xia, can you tell me what those guys are doing and what are they going to do with Shiyuan Group?"

The three hotel groups, even the smallest Lotte, have a market value of more than 40 billion US dollars, which is not much smaller than the Shiyuan Group, and the other two are even more giant-like existences for the Shiyuan Group.

Even if Zhou Yuanmin is alone in the fight, Zhou Shiliu can do very little, but if he can know some news in advance, even if he can only wait for death, he can be mentally prepared.

"According to the information I know, it is nothing more than wanting to defeat your father's Shiyuan Group in one fell swoop, and then several companies carve up the Shiyuan Hotel and the local market. It's as simple as that."

He Xia said.

This matter can be summed up in just one or two sentences, but what Zhou Yuanmin has to face is going bankrupt...

Zhou Shiliu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "These guys, really, really... He Xia, is there any way?"

She has a lot of ghostly ideas about the financial market, but when encountering a serious commercial attack, or an overwhelming offensive, no amount of tricks will be of use.

"A way? I don't know what way to do, if you don't accept it, just do it..."

He Xia said without hesitation.

Zhou Shiliu had a black line: "If you want to resist, you must have the strength. Shiyuan Group is in the four, oh no, in front of the three, it is difficult to even resist, still do it, what a fart!"

"That's right, then there's nothing you can do. Since you can't resist, then enjoy yourself."

He Xia said with a smirk on his face.

"Enjoy your sister..." Zhou Shiliu blurted out, his face froze immediately, it seems that there is nothing wrong with enjoying your sister...

This made her even more speechless, she shook off the messy thoughts in her mind, and sighed: "This matter is too big, I don't have the face to ask you for help, thank you, at least let Marriott withdraw from the plan, otherwise my father will be in trouble Bigger..."

"You don't have to be too pessimistic, things don't necessarily develop in a bad direction, what if something unexpected happens, right?" He Xia said with a smile, with encouragement in his tone.

"Okay, don't comfort me anymore, alas... just say that something is wrong. My dad should have felt it when he asked me to borrow money some time ago. If they found out their conspiracy at that time, it might be possible to solve it. Now it seems that everything is wrong. late."

Zhou Shiliu's mood faded and said: "Thank you, my mother called me to eat, this Christmas is really a sloppy one."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

"He Xia's phone number?"

Qiu Minzhen's voice came from behind.

Zhou Shiliu stood up and shrugged: "Yes, tell me a good news and a bad news..."

"Then tell me the good news first, can't you?"

Qiu Minzhen leaned on the door frame and walked in the doorway.

"The good news is that the Marriott Group does not intend to continue to deal with Dad's group. The bad news is that there are three more, and they are planning to carve up the Shiyuan Group!"

Zhou Shiliu told her mother the news that He Xia told her, which was definitely a huge blow to their family...

Unexpectedly, Qiu Minzhen pulled her hair and said in a calm tone: "Fortunately, your father and I made a financial division when he founded Shiyuan Group. Even if Shiyuan Group goes bankrupt, the farm will not be affected."

The expression on Zhou Shiliu's face was very exciting, she didn't expect her mother to say such a thing.

"What do you mean by that expression?" Qiu Minzhen saw Zhou Shiliu looking at herself with a shocked and sad look, curled her lips and said, "This is the arrangement your father made at the beginning, so that there will be a way out in the event of an accident. Back off, silly girl, you don't think I'm going to divorce your father, do you?"

"Ah, oh..."

Zhou Shiliu really didn't know what to say, as expected, his parents still had their own considerations.

……

"He Xia, did something happen to Zhou Shiliu's family?"

Pan Lanxin asked nervously when He Xia finished talking on the phone.

He Xia spread out her hands and said, "Her father's group has been hacked, and several companies joined forces to fight a combination. The big word 'dangerous' has been pasted on Zhou Yuanmin's forehead."

"This...is so serious!" Pan Lanxin has no business experience and doesn't know much about this matter. She never thought that a huge hotel group would be finished if it said it would.

"Then...wouldn't Zhou Shiliu's family be miserable then?" Pan Lanxin asked with some concern.

He Xia nodded reassuringly: "Zhou Shiliu has the ability to make money herself, but her father is not good. If she can't make it through, she will go bankrupt and owe a lot of debt."

He Xia checked the debt ratio of Shiyuan Group before, and it was a full 70.00%60.00. This figure is quite high in the hotel industry. The Marriott Group is only 80.00%[-], but the Excelle Hotel Group is even higher, with [-]%[-]!
However, the business status of Excelle Group is much healthier than that of Shiyuan Group. Even if it has high debt, it doesn't matter, and it can operate in a healthy manner.

Pan Lanxin's complexion darkened slightly, and she said, "I had dinner with Zhou Shiliu and Weiwei in New York before. I can see that she takes care of Weiwei very much. Would you consider helping her?"

He Xia didn't expect someone to speak for Zhou Shiliu, so he laughed and said, "When the Wang family was messing with me before, Zhou Shiliu stepped forward and almost flew back to the heaven to look for Wang Hanbo. But I didn't expect you to care about her so much."

Not only about the Wang family's affairs, but also about Boeing's tip-off, He Xia made a total of one billion US dollars. Although Zhou Shiliu didn't use this as an issue, he remembered it.

Pan Lanxin curled her lips and said, "It's rare for you to have a friend you can talk to, of course it's worth cherishing, and you don't have many friends..."

"I don't have many friends?" He Xia stared at Pan Lanxin, as if she had heard something incredible, and said loudly, "I have friends all over the world..."

The words came to an abrupt end.

He Xia thought about it, and it seems that she really doesn't have many friends...

Whether it was then or now, not much.

When I was in school, I was limited to a few friends in the dormitory, and there were some intrigues. After graduation, I had very little contact.

Business partners cannot be considered friends, neither can confidantes and lovers, there are not many people who can brag and spank unscrupulously, although Zhou Shiliu is a woman, she definitely counts as one.

This discovery made He Xia feel a little bit disappointed, and said in a daze: "I don't have any friends..."

Pan Lanxin put her arms around He Xia's neck, and said, "All big people are like this, and they can't find a true friend, so I think you should consider helping her."

As soon as the fragrance smelled, the scene of The Wolf of Wall Street's world instantly appeared in He Xia's mind. Her blood was racing, she put her arms around the butler's waist, and said, "Even if I want to help her, it's tomorrow. It's getting late, little butler." , die!"

After finishing speaking, she hugged Pan Lanxin horizontally with a little force in her arms, and left the study with a low exclamation.

While Boss He was fighting fiercely, on the other side of the Atlantic, John Marriott of the Marriott family had already informed the other three groups of the Marriott Group's withdrawal from the alliance!
It is still a video conference, but the characters have changed, and there are only three video frames on the screen.

"John, why is it so sudden, are you dissatisfied with the distribution of benefits?"

Thomas Pulitzer from Hyatt Hotel Group asked suspiciously, his eyes full of puzzlement.

He is a gentleman in his 50s, with a well-trimmed beard. Influenced by his family environment, he wears very traditional and rigid clothes, even at home, he wears a white shirt and a suit vest.

Wilson from the InterContinental Hotel also shook his head slightly. The matter has reached the last moment, and it doesn't make sense to quit at this time.

He is not young anymore, he should be of the same generation as Betra Marriott of the Marriott family, with a gray beard, but shrewd eyes.

The representative of Lotte Group is a man who looks somewhat similar to Li Donghuan, but looks younger and full of vigor. He is Li Donghuan's younger brother, Li Xihuan.

Regarding the withdrawal of the Marriott Group, Li Xihuan did not have much emotional fluctuations, but was still a little excited in his heart.

John smiled and said: "This is a temporary decision of the board of directors. You all know that the Marriott Group is not up to me alone. I believe that my withdrawal will allow several people to share more cakes. For everyone, Not a good thing.”

The cake is only that big, and if three people share it, it is true that they can get more than four people, but this matter is not that simple no matter how you look at it.

When things go wrong, there must be demons. People all over the world know this truth!
"John, you need to know that if you quit now, the previous efforts of the Marriott Group will be in vain, and we have no way to compensate for this."

Wilson of the InterContinental Hotel spread his hands and said very sincerely.

John waved his hand and said, "The members of the board of directors have reached an agreement and are willing to bear that part of the loss. Thank you for reminding, Wilson."

Li Xihuan touched his nose and said, "I believe Marriott Group must have its own considerations, and I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future!"

Lotte Hotel Group is the smallest among the four in this commercial attack plan, and Li Xihuan is also the youngest among the four, but he is the most urgent and radical!

Even if the other three groups carve up Shiyuan Group, it can only be regarded as icing on the cake in terms of tens of billions of volume, but it is no different from a milestone leapfrog development for Lotte Group!

If it wasn't for being backed by the Lepuxin Group, the Lotte Group would not be qualified to participate in this commercial sniper plan at all!

Li Xihuan attaches great importance to this action. He keeps an eye on it and personally supervises the battle. He will definitely use this time to carve up Shiyuan Group and let Lotte Hotel Group break into the top ten in the world. This is the most important thing after he took charge of the North American market.

"Well, since the Marriott Group has made a decision, we don't have to force it, John, goodbye."

"goodbye……"

The video conference is very short, but it does not prevent everyone from discussing important things in a short time.

After turning off the power, before John Marriott could stand up, he received a call from Thomas Pulitzer, Chairman of Excelle Group!
"John, when I started to manage Excelle, Marriott was still managed by your father. Your father and I were competitors, but we were also friends. In the past ten years, we have cooperated many times. Let me talk about the reasons for quitting. ?"

During the video conference, Thomas didn't say much, and called John's personal phone as soon as the meeting ended.

John smacked his lips, frowned slightly, and said with a fake smile: "Uncle Thomas, the opinions of the shareholders insist on holding a shareholders' meeting for voting. Are you against it?"

John didn’t mention H.E Investment Company at all, but he knew that BlackRock and Vanguard not only held shares in Marriott, but also invested in Hyatt Hotel Group, so he drew his attention to those two investment banks.
