Looking at the brief introduction of the Han Palace Super Five-Star Hotel on the document in his hand, Liu Dong shook his head, "I don't need to be present for this kind of thing, just let him build it according to the plan! Also, since the 'Han Palace Hotel' is now
Once construction begins, we must also pay close attention to the location selection of the super five-star hotel "Tang Palace" in Pengcheng! And the location and design of the super five-star hotel "Song Palace" in Yangcheng must not be left behind!"
Summer Palace, Han Palace, Tang Palace and Song Palace, four super five-star hotels located in first-tier cities in China, are a focus of K. Wah Hotels Group in the next three to five years.
Now, with the exception of the Summer Palace Hotel, which has been completed and started operating, the other three ultra-luxury hotel projects, each with an investment of more than 2 billion US dollars, are basically in the site selection and design stage. The fastest one, the Tang Palace Hotel, is also in the process of being completed.
But the foundation has just been laid.
If you want this "Simiya Hotel" to be fully operational, I'm afraid it will have to wait until three years later!
After nodding and recording Liu Dong's explanation, Helen said again: "Now the Secretariat has received interview invitations from 219 media outlets from 38 countries around the world. Maybe you can choose which ones to be interviewed?"
Liu Dong has always been unwilling to pay too much attention to interviews. But since he has accepted an exclusive interview with the American "Times", his "Newsweek" naturally cannot treat one favorably and the other, and the latter is still his own child after all. Likewise.
The same situation also applies to Ming Pao and South China Morning Post!
In addition, as a Chinese, he cannot worship foreigners and favor foreigners. Naturally, he cannot refuse all interview invitations from China.
Thinking of this, Liu Dongwei sighed and said: "Please refuse all interviews for me outside of China for the time being. For domestic ones, you can choose one or two that are suitable!"
"I knew you would be like this!"
After finishing speaking, Helen handed over a document, "Beijing TV's "Interview with Yang Lan". This is a high-end interview program within China. The audience of the program is all over the Chinese community in Greater China! I suggest you accept their interview.
!”
"Then do it!"
Liu Dong took a brief look and agreed after thinking there was nothing wrong.
It's not that he knows much about "Interviews with Yang Lan", but that he believes in Helen's vision.
"Is there anything else?"
"Yes. Mr. Feng of the group called and said that our negotiations with Mr. Jobs are on track!"
"Oh, he agreed to sell it?" Liu Dong immediately sat up straight and said happily.
He has also been paying attention to Matrix Media Group's acquisition of Pixar. In this world where the global entertainment industry is highly developed, both Disney and Time Warner are desperately expanding their businesses horizontally, and their foundations are worse than them.
Naturally, Matrix Media cannot lag behind.
Because foreign investors like him are subject to greater official restrictions on acquiring TV stations in the United States. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Liu Dong turned his attention to another shortcoming of Matrix Media Group-'animation'!
After returning to Apple, Hollywood animation giant Pixar, which had been rumored to be on sale, naturally became his first choice.
Moreover, Liu Dong, who holds nearly 15% of Apple's shares, is also very confident that he can reach an agreement with Jobs before the huge and bloated Disney.
And the facts were indeed as he expected. After several months of negotiations, the matter finally came to a conclusion.
"Yes! Mr. Jobs has agreed to sell 90% of his Pixar shares to us! But the price of these shares is not cheap!"
"Tell me, what kind of cheap method is it?" Liu Dong said.
"US$5.5 billion! 90% of Pixar's shares were valued at US$5.5 billion (it's only the beginning of 2004. "The Incredibles", which won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film, has not yet been released, and "Cars" is still in the womb. So Pixar
The market value is not as high as the later US$7 billion)!”
"All in cash?" Liu Dong frowned and asked.
"USD 1.5 billion in cash, 2% of Apple's shares, and 4.8% of Matrix Media Group's shares! These are the acquisition conditions negotiated by Mr. Feng and Mr. Robert Shaye, the CEO of Matrix, and Mr. Jobs!"
After listening and thinking for a while, Liu Dong nodded, "Since the negotiation has been made, let's sign the contract according to these conditions!"
"OK!"
After saying this, Helen faithfully performed what an administrative secretary should do and recorded Liu Dong's opinions in detail in her notes.
"Is there anything else?" Liu Dong asked in surprise as he looked at the documents Helen handed over again.
Seeing the impatient expression on her lover's face, Helen smiled slightly and immediately returned to her businesslike appearance. "Yes, this is a document sent by Mr. Shen of Oriental Resources Group. You asked him to buy several coins in Mongolia."
He has already bought all the mineral deposits."
"That's good, tell him not to rush into development yet! It won't be too late to start development after the railway is completed!"
"OK!"
"By the way, dear, I still have three invitation letters from you here!"
"Three letters? Whose do they belong to?"
"Mr. Roman Shatov of Russia, Mr. Jiang Weiguo, who serves as executive vice governor of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee of Jibei Province, China, and Mr. Li Ka-shing of the Li family of Hong Kong."
"Roman Shatov?" A young but unruly face appeared in front of Liu Dong's eyes.
After frowning slightly, "Tell Mr. Shatov that I will visit him in June!"
Russia is currently covered in ice and snow. Even if Liu Dong covets this northern country's rich and coveted resources and is eager to expand his contacts, he still has to wait until the weather is comfortable before going there.
"Understood!"
"As for Mr. Jiang Weiguo?" Liu Dong's brows immediately furrowed even deeper, and his face became even more bitter.
When Jiang Weiguo came to find him, even Liu Dong could guess why!
If Liu Dong had some shortcomings in his family life before, which made the Jiang family have some doubts about Jiang Tingting's marriage to him, then now that his identity as a direct descendant of the third generation of the Liu family has been exposed, the Jiang family has long been concerned about this marriage.
Absolutely yes! But Liu Dong is unwilling to take a stand at this time.
One is because in his heart he really thinks there is only one candidate who should be his wife, and that is Wang Qiang. Of course, as a man, he should also be responsible for what he has done. Therefore, for those beauties who have deep feelings for him,
Liu Dong also felt that they should be given a clear identity.
But now is clearly not the time! He's not quite ready yet!
Especially when the relationship between these confidants has not been completely settled, hastily marrying any one of them will be a harm to others.
Alas, Liu Dong, a person like Liu Dong who is promiscuous and extremely affectionate, but also has extremely excellent conditions, is really a scourge that makes women unable to stop!
"Tell Mr. Jiang that I am currently abroad and will definitely visit him when I return to China! ...By the way, don't send this news now, wait until we go to Hong Kong!" Liu Dong explained carefully.
"Okay! But do you mean to agree to Mr. Li's invitation?"
"Yes!" Liu Dong nodded. In order to improve his relic Yuanguang, Liu Dong's itinerary was to go to India in April. In the middle, he would stop by Hong Kong to visit the Li family, which was also his long-awaited plan.
After all, the Li family had helped him a lot in the previous acquisition of shares in Standard Chartered Bank and later in the acquisition of more shares in Cathay Pacific Airways, so it was appropriate to pay him a visit.
After watching Helen finish recording, Liu Dong asked: "Is everything going to be fine now?"
"Yeah! It's okay!" Helen nodded after closing the notebook and fastening the pen.
"Let's eat!"
"What kind of food are you going to eat? Eat first and then you can tell me!" After saying this, Liu Dong picked up Helen's delicate body and strode into the bedroom next to her.
This treasure appraisal activity in Zheng*zhou lasts for a total of one week. Except for the last two days, which are reserved for everyone to rest, travel and shop, the first three days are for the treasure appraisal audition, and the middle two days are for the real treasure appraisal.
Recording time. Therefore, on the second day after arriving in Zhengzhou, Liu Dong still came to the appraisal site at the exhibition hall at 8:30 in the morning.
However, there seemed to be more people on the second day than on the first. In addition to the long flow of people, a small cultural relics market was also spontaneously formed in the square outside the exhibition hall. Cultural relics dealers who are looking for the right opportunity can use it.
The large stall greets the bustling customers in a flamboyant manner, selling antiques and art in their hands.
Those who are eloquent and familiar with this business will naturally have a prosperous business. Those who are slow-talking or are just getting started will naturally have less business in front of their stalls.
However, whether you are a diligent or a clumsy cultural relic dealer, you can make a fortune at this special time today. This is because cultural relic collectors from all over Zhengzhou and even more than a dozen surrounding cities and counties have gathered here.
.
Regarding this cultural relics market that is still expanding in scale, Liu Dong, who just picked up a big item, is naturally a little eager to move.
However, as a ceramic identification expert, he must first complete his own work.
Maybe it's because of yesterday's appraisal that Liu Dong's reputation has been confirmed. Maybe it's because more people know him. In short, no matter what, when I found Liu Dong in the morning, the number of people lining up in front of him waiting for the appraisal was obviously better than yesterday.
Several times more.
Although the number is still not comparable to the three old men next to him, it can't be said to be free!
But it is a pity that Liu Dong did not see any antique that he could buy for the entire morning. Even the most valuable item among them was just the 'Xianfeng Pastel Six-square Vase' from the official kiln!
Today, Liu Dong has too many middle and late Qing Dynasty porcelains from the three Qing dynasties, almost no less than 50,000 to 60,000 pieces! There are imperial kilns with higher value than this Xianfeng pastel piece. Therefore, he did not buy it at all.
