Andre's voice sounded urgent, "Master, where are you?"
Vladimir was a little unhappy and was about to be cool, but as a result...
"I'm outside, what's wrong?"
"The gentleman is going to ask you to go to his manor now." My parents also have their own residence in London, and they usually stay at their manor.
"What's the matter? Andrei." Vaguely, Vladimir felt that his father must have something to do with him at this time.
"I don't know the specifics. Boris and other high-level officials are also here."
Upon hearing that senior officials like Boris and others were also here, Vladimir felt that this matter must be serious.
Could it be because of the diamond mine incident in the Philippines?
Soon, he shook his head and denied it. At present, his father has completely handed over the decision-making power of the diamond mine to him. Moreover, the diamond mining business is completely independent.
Vladimir had no idea why his father was looking for him.
"Okay, I'll be right back. I'll be there in half an hour."
After hanging up the phone, Vladimir ignored Rigilenko and the others who were laughing at him behind his back, got into the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove quickly towards his father's manor.
The journey was very fast, and in just over ten minutes, he arrived at his father's manor.
Compared with before, there are many more black-clad bodyguards near the manor.
Andrei and Sergey seemed to have been waiting at the door for a long time. As soon as they saw this, they came over immediately.
Andre said quickly, "Master, sir, they are already waiting for you in the conference room."
"Okay." Vladimir quickly walked into the villa.
Secretary Andre followed closely behind.
The manor owned by my parents is quite large, so meetings of the family group are often held here.
When I walked into the conference room, I saw that all the senior executives of the group were there.
When Maxim saw him coming in, he decisively waved to him and motioned for him to sit next to him.
Vladimir took one look at this posture and immediately understood that it was an appointment.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the meeting, the group human resources director announced his appointment.
Maxim specifically emphasized that from now on, Vladimir should be called boss instead of young master.
This appointment seemed like an ordinary appointment, but it actually announced that Vladimir had officially become the future heir of the Ivan family.
The attendees naturally welcomed the future heir of the family with warm applause, and even some guys who liked to flatter him applauded as if they were desperate.
"We have gathered everyone together today. Actually, there is another matter. Due to the sudden incident, we did not have time to inform everyone. Peter, please inform everyone." Maxim said with a big wave of his hand.
Secretary Peter nodded, then came to the giant screen and began to report.
After listening, Vladimir understood what was going on.
It turned out that my father was also preparing to move part of his business to Europe. It happened that the famous Imperial Hotel in London was about to be auctioned due to poor management.
The Imperial Hotel was built seventy years ago. It is located on the banks of the famous Taiwu River in London. It is only 20 kilometers away from London Airport. It has a strategic location. The entire building is 381 meters high and has a total of 102 floors. Among the 102-story buildings,
In addition to the lobby, restaurants, and shopping malls, there are more than 30 floors of hotel rooms, more than 30 floors of office buildings, and the rest are high-end apartments.
At that time, the Imperial Hotel was the tallest building in the world when it was built. It was not until thirty years later that this record was broken by the Americans.
The Imperial Hotel is not only a multi-functional office building, but also one of the famous tourist attractions in London. A large number of tourists queue up in the hotel every day to wait for the elevator to go to the top to view the scenery.
Standing on the observation deck on the 100th floor, you can have a panoramic view of the entire city of London.
It is hard to imagine that the Imperial Hotel, with such superior hardware and software conditions, would close down due to poor management.
After Peter finished his report, Maxim looked around, scanning the facial expressions of the participants, and then slowly said: "Everyone must know about the sale of the Siberian Tourism Company at a low price before, so I passed by
I have thought carefully about it and am planning to invest part of my family's investment in developing in Europe. From the current point of view, the Imperial Hotel is a good choice. What do you think?"
Boris was the first to speak, "Mr. Chairman, isn't part of the property of the Imperial Hotel owned by high-end apartments? I'm afraid the ownership of these high-end apartments does not belong to the sellers."
Maxim nodded: "Yes, but currently, the occupancy rate of high-end apartments is only 30%, so nearly 70% of the property rights are still in the hands of the sellers."
Boris smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know how the Groser family manages it, but the Imperial Hotel, which is so good, is almost bankrupt due to poor management."
Secretary Peter did not report just now how the Imperial Hotel was about to go bankrupt due to poor management. Seeing that there were imperfections in the work, he quickly added, "According to the information we have learned, on the one hand, it is the investment strategy of the Groser family.
Problems arose, resulting in insufficient blood transfusion capacity for the Imperial Hotel. The decoration of the hotel has aged and is not suitable for the current era, so there are fewer guests. At the same time, the main reason for the office building is that the rent is too expensive. The development of the South London area in recent years
Rapidly, skyscrapers are everywhere, and the rent is cheaper and the hardware is better than the Imperial Hotel, so the occupancy rate of office buildings is also very low."
Maxim nodded with a wry smile on his face: "To put it bluntly, it just lacks popularity. This popularity is like a flame. Once it fails to get up, it will go out in the end."
"If the price is right, it might not be a bad idea to buy the Imperial Hotel." Boris said thoughtfully.
After Boris made his statement, several senior officials also expressed their opinion that the price is right and they can be purchased.
Maxim suddenly turned his head towards him, "Vladimir, tell me what you think?"
Vladimir thought for a while and said: "I also think that if the price is right, I can buy it. As for the floors of the office building, I have an immature idea. We can negotiate with major companies in advance. If the effect is really not ideal,
, I suggest that some floors of office buildings can be converted into high-end apartments.”
Vladimir's opinion sounded good, Maxim nodded, and then announced the final decision.
Upon hearing this decision, Vladimir suddenly felt his head was a little big.
