Chapter 768 New York Plaza Hotel
…
After a speechless night, Ivanka got up from the bed on time at 8 o'clock in the morning. Looking at the breakfast placed on the bedside table next to her, a sweet smile appeared on the beautiful woman's face. The emotions accumulated in her heart after being tortured to death last night.
That trace of complaint dissipated in an instant!
After washing up, Ivanka saw Liu Dong sitting in the living room, "What are you reading? You're so fascinated! ..."Lord of the Rings"? Do you still like to read this kind of book?"
"When I went downstairs to buy breakfast, there happened to be a bookstore next to it, so I bought a copy. But this book is really good. Have you read it?" Liu Dong said.
"Of course I have read it. The British writer John Ronald Tolkien is one of the three most famous fantasy works. In addition to "The Lord of the Rings", the other "The Hobbit" and "The Silmarillion"
I’ve seen them all too!…Why, do you like them too?”
After nodding, Liu Dong said: "After reading a little bit, it is indeed quite good. Even an Oriental like me is attracted by it!"
"Haha, this is the most popular fantasy novel in the United States and the United Kingdom!" Ivanka laughed.
"Really? So if it is made into a movie, will you go back and watch it?" Liu Dong asked further.
"Of course I will go!" After a pause, Ivanka Trump looked at Liu Dong in surprise, "Are you going to invest in this movie?"
"What? No?" Liu Dong nodded.
"It's not impossible. But although the film industry is profitable, it is too risky. If you step into it without preparation, you can easily lose money!" In addition, Ivanka also knows that Hollywood is not an easy place to hang out, and it is not just about having money.
Money can make you successful.
"I know!"
After thinking for a while, Liu Dong said again: "Ivanka, what do you think if I buy a film company and let you run it?"
"Let me? run a movie company?"
Seeing Ivanka's surprised look, Liu Dong smiled and nodded.
Although this is the first time he has raised this concern in front of Ivanka, it was also carefully considered.
First of all, he doesn’t want Ivanka to be a model anymore. It didn’t matter before, but now she is his woman. Liu Dong, like most traditional Chinese men, does not want his woman to walk on the catwalk wearing revealing clothes.
Go away and show it to other men.
Ivanka Trump, everything about her must belong to herself!
This is the truest thought of Liu Dong, a Chinese man who never went to college, inherited conservative ideas from rural areas in Shandong, and has a strong masculinity in his heart.
However, Ivanka is prohibited from continuing to be a model and must find a suitable career for her to make a living.
Liu Dong doesn't know if she is qualified for other industries, but she knows so many directors and stars in Hollywood. Moreover, the modeling industry is not far away from the film industry, and Spielberg happens to be an introduction.
.So this gave birth to Liu Dong’s idea of bringing Ivanka into the film industry.
Of course, not an actor, but a company boss!
"Yes! Don't you want to?" Liu Dong said.
"It's not that I'm unwilling, but I don't know much about the film industry, so I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well, and I haven't graduated from Wharton Business School yet...!"
"Okay, okay!" interrupted Ivanka with a smile, "Don't deny yourself so quickly. And if you don't try, how will you know you're not good? As for the remaining courses at Wharton Business School,
I think practice can help you better understand the knowledge in the textbook! In addition, you are not alone, neither I nor your father will help you when the time comes!"
Donald Trump is Liu Dong’s ultimate back-up for allowing Ivanka to enter the film industry. He believes that with his cheap father-in-law and his half-life network in the United States, he will definitely be able to help his precious daughter succeed in the film industry.
Hollywood finds its footing.
Seeing the still hesitant look on Ivanka's face, Liu Dong smiled and patted her delicate hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't worry, be confident! I think about the Ivanka I knew back then.
Trump is a smart, beautiful and strong woman who firmly believes that she can succeed on her own!"
Looking at her boyfriend's encouraging eyes, Ivanka took a deep breath, nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, then I'll give it a try!"
"Is this right!...Also, when the time comes, you should quit your career as a model. After all, you have just entered a new industry, and it will definitely not be easy to master. Being too scattered is not conducive to your development, and it is also harmful to your
It’s not good for your health either. If you get exhausted, I’ll feel bad!”
Looking at Liu Dong's concerned eyes, Ivanka felt warm in her heart. She snuggled into Liu Dong's arms and nodded gently.
"Oops, it's broken. It's already past eight o'clock now. We're going to be late!" Ivanka suddenly panicked after seeing the time on the clock on the wall.
"Okay, honey, we won't go to the auction today!" Liu Dong comforted her quickly.
"not going?"
"Well, today's auction items are all modern crafts and some abstract oil paintings. I'm not interested in these, so I won't go!" Liu Dong said.
After nodding, Ivanka asked: "Then will we all stay home today?"
"Haha, this is not possible! I have made an appointment with Mr. Spielberg for lunch, and you have to come with me then!"
"It's about a movie, right?"
"Not just movies, I also want to acquire a film company!" Liu Dong said.
"All right!"
…
In New York, when it comes to hotels, the first thing that comes to mind is not the prestigious Hilton Hotel, the Peninsula Hotel New York, or the Langham Place Hotel on Fifth Avenue, but the 19-story Plaza Hotel New York, which was founded in 1907.
.
There was once a saying, ‘Nothing that happens at the Plaza Hotel is unimportant’.
As one of the most famous hotels in the United States, the Plaza Hotel has been the first choice for celebrities from all walks of life to stay when visiting New York since its opening on October 1, 1907. Kings, presidents, ambassadors, film and television stars, sports stars, business figures and others
Travelers from all over the world have been guests of the Plaza Hotel.
Over the past century, the Plaza Hotel located in the center of Manhattan has become a landmark building in New York. It is no longer just a hotel. In the hearts of many New Yorkers, the Plaza Hotel has witnessed the development of New York and carried the changes in New York's history.
Become an icon of New York.
Today, the famous ‘Palm Room’ of the Plaza Hotel welcomes a new guest from the East!
"Ivanka, I heard that your father once owned this hotel?" Liu Dong turned around and asked after finding the seat he reserved, sitting down and looking around.
"Well! In 1988, my father spent 150 million US dollars to buy the Plaza Hotel. Later, because of the construction of Trump Tower and the repayment of bank loans, he sold it to Prince Wadley of Saudi Arabia in 1995! Now here
Belongs to Elad Properties of Israel!”
"Really? But the business of the Plaza Hotel is so good, why do people still sell it? Wouldn't it be nice to keep it and make money? And I think there should be no lack of passenger flow here!" Liu Dong said.
"I don't know this, but I know that the reason why my father sold this place was that he found a better investment project and needed funds. More importantly, after owning this place for several years, my father no longer had the original intention.
Interest and curiosity!" Ivanka said.
Liu Dong nodded understandingly. Marriage has a seven-year itch. I guess running a restaurant also has this problem. Of course, this also reflects the completely different business attitudes and philosophies of life between the East and the West.
In the East, if the business they run is still profitable and they are not completely destitute, few people will sell their businesses.
But things are different in the West. For Western businessmen, everything in the world is valuable. If your money can satisfy his appetite, then there is no problem in selling your mother and father.
"What do you say I buy it?"
"You buy the Plaza Hotel?" Ivanka opened her mouth in surprise.
"What? No?"
"No, why did you suddenly think of buying the Plaza Hotel?"
Ivanka felt that she really couldn't keep up with Liu Dong's jumping thoughts! Just now, the two of them were talking about Hollywood, and now they are going to buy a hotel?
Of course, this is still related to the short time that Ivanka has been in contact with Liu Dong. It would not be surprising if Wang Qiang was here, because she is used to Liu Dong's sudden thinking.
Even many of Liu Dong's current industries are the result of this kind of sudden thinking. If Liu Dong had not had sufficient funds and found management talents who were indeed worthy of big responsibilities, I am afraid that several major group companies under his control would have been in chaos long ago!
"I have a hotel group in China, and it is currently in the process of expansion. It will definitely enter the international market in a few years. If I buy the Plaza Hotel by then, it will greatly increase the company's visibility, which will be beneficial to the company's development!"
"Hotel group?"
Ivanka's beautiful eyes widened. Although she and Liu Dong had done everything they had done, and even things they shouldn't have done, Ivanka didn't know the specific industries Liu Dong owned.
But before she could ask, Spielberg in a suit and tie had already appeared in their sight.
Seeing Liu Dong stand up, Ivanka had no choice but to suppress her doubts for the time being and stood up together.
"Mr. Liu, I kept you waiting for a long time!"
"It's okay, we just arrived!" The two shook hands, and then after Spielberg and Ivanka greeted them, the three of them sat down together.
