Hardy Empire 1945

Vol 2 Chapter 374: : Acquisition of shares in Hilton Hotels

Nick Hilton was playing with friends in a bar when he was found. Hearing an emergency call from his father, he drove back immediately.

The expression of Conrad Hilton's face made Nick feel nervous. It seems that he hasn't caused trouble recently.

"Why the **** are you going to provoke Elizabeth Taylor?" Conrad Hilton yelled at his son.

"I, that Elizabeth Taylor is just a little actor, besides, I have nothing to do." Nick Hilton said dumbfounded.

"Little actor, if you know who's the woman she is, you just mess around, she's Jon Hardy's woman, you always know Jon Hardy."

Nick was surprised when he heard Hardy's name.

He naturally knows who Jon Hardy is. In their second-generation circles, he often mentions Hardy's name.

And as people with backgrounds, they know more than ordinary people. They know that Hardy was born in the underworld. Even now, they control the biggest gang in Los Angeles. The American mafia is raging in the United States, and no one dares to mess with them, but they dare not. Provoked Hardy.

The fact that HD Security drove fighter jets to shoot gangsters some time ago is still one of the things they are talking about.

Who dares to play this way in the United States?

Hardy dared, and nothing happened afterwards, but the gang has long since fallen into history.

Elizabeth Taylor is Jon Hardy's woman.

Damn, I haven't heard of it.

Nick Hilton turned pale, and his voice trembled: "Father, I really didn't know that Taylor was Jon Hardy's woman. I, I was just pursuing it. I gave her flowers a few times and didn't do anything else. ."

Old Conrad Hilton gave his son a cold look, "Fortunately, you didn't do anything else, otherwise it was not a warning, but a corpse on the street."

"I just received a call from Andy, the president of Hardy Group, warning me that if you dare to provoke Taylor, their Hardy Group will go to full-scale war against the Hilton family. Do you know the meaning of a full-scale war? With Hardy’s connections and the power that can be mobilized, the only end of the Hilton family is destruction."

Old Conrad Hilton yelled at his son.

Nick Hilton lowered his head, knowing that this time he did get into trouble.

"You bastard, I really want to deprive you of your heir status and let you go as far as you can." Old Conrad Hilton cursed angrily.

Nick Hilton was frightened when he heard it. His only reliance, and the greatest hope in life, was the property of the Hilton family. If he was deprived of his inheritance rights, he would immediately become a pauper. What is the meaning of life.

"Father, no, I know I was wrong, and I will not dare to get into trouble again in the future." Nick Hilton begged.

Old Conrad Hilton waved his hand, "Fortunately, the time has not yet reached the worst, the other party is just warning, from now on you must never appear in front of that Elizabeth Taylor, you know, even if you see it accidentally, you will flash far away. Far."

Old Conrad Hilton said harshly.

"Okay, I promise."

Nick Xin said, if I knew she was Hardy's woman before, I wouldn't dare to provoke it.

"Also, this time you got into trouble, what the Hilton family must do to ease the relationship, I will talk to Hardy later."

"As for you, you must leave the United States. The Hilton Hotel is preparing to build a new hotel in Milan, Italy. Go to Milan. Don’t let me see you before the hotel opens. This is also a test for you. If you don’t do well, I will still Will consider your heir status." Old Conrad Hilton said.

"Good father." Nick Hilton responded quickly.

the next day.

Nick Hilton got on the plane to Milan.

After Nick Hilton left, the old Conrad Hilton began to contact Andy: "Mr. Andy, I apologize for what happened before. I have already ordered Nick to never provoke Miss Taylor in the future and threw him to Italy. Construction site".

"Mr. Andy, I hope to meet Mr. Hardy, explain this to him face to face and apologize, and maybe there is a place where our two can cooperate, such as in the hotel industry."

Andy conveyed the old Conrad Hilton's meaning to Hardy, and Hardy didn't care, "Then arrange for him to meet."

The place where the two met was in Las Vegas, and the opening hours of the two major casinos were close at hand. Hardy had been here these days, and the women Monroe, Taylor, and Ava were all here now, rehearsing for the performance.

Now they all live in Hardy’s estate in Las Vegas.

Old Conrad Hilton visited Hardy Manor and saw three women with Hardy together. The old man recognized them at a glance. Ava Gardner, Hollywood's most famous movie star and singer, is known as a **** generation. The goddess, Marilyn Monroe, is now Hollywood's new **** goddess, unparalleled in the level of sexiness, Elizabeth Taylor, a well-known Hollywood actor.

These three women are obviously all Hardy's women.

And this time the son provokes one of Hardy's women, and I have to say that this Hardy is really romantic.

I own three of them, and others have to fight and kill if they want to get involved.

Too overbearing.

Hardy came over and shook hands with the old Conrad Hilton with a smile, "Andy said, Hilton asked me to say there is a place to cooperate?"

Hardy didn't talk about his son.

Because it was just a dispensable little person, Hardy only told him to stay away from Tyler, he just gave Tyler a few bunches of flowers, and he wouldn't kill him directly.

Hardy is a very reasonable person.

"Mr. Hardy, I think Las Vegas will be more and more promising. The Hilton Hotel intends to build a hotel here. Of course, it would be even better if a casino could be opened." Old Conrad Hilton smiled road.

Hardy smiled faintly, "There are a lot of people who want to open a casino in Las Vegas, but it's not enough to have money."

Old Conrad Hilton naturally knew how could Hardy casually confuse people with such a lucrative business.

"My idea is to cooperate with Mr. Hardy, of course, with Mr. Hardy as the lead." Old Conrad Hilton said.

Hardy paused.

Said: "The Hardy Group had the idea of ​​entering the hotel industry before, but because of the busyness of other businesses, it has not been involved for a while."

"You seek cooperation, I think it is possible, but not only hotels in Las Vegas, Hardy Group hopes to obtain shares in Hilton Hotels, so that we can become real partners." Hardy said.

"How many shares does Mr. Hardy want?" Old Conrad Hilton asked hesitantly.

The shares cannot be sold, but he hopes to maintain his status as a major shareholder. If the Hardy Group becomes dominant, the Hilton family will become a wage earner.

"30%, less is boring." Hardy said.

This number still surprised old Conrad Hilton, "Mr. Hardy, even the Hilton family now only has 42% of the shares."

"Then go back to discuss with other shareholders and sell them to me in proportion. With sufficient funds, Hilton Hotels can acquire more hotels and develop faster, what do you think." Hardy said to the old man.

Capital is always the biggest temptation for entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurs' hearts will grow bigger and bigger, and they always want to develop their own business to be the best in the industry.

It’s too slow to develop step by step.

The fastest method is naturally mergers and acquisitions, and mergers and acquisitions require sufficient funds.

Hardy has Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and HSBC in Hong Kong, with sufficient funds.

The money that Hardy buys shares is only part of it. More importantly, it can become a partner with Hardy Group. It will be much easier to borrow money in the future.

But he had the final say.

If Hardy gets 30% of the shares, his shares will be diluted to only 29.4%, which is less than 30% of the Hardy Group. Instead, the Hardy Group will become the largest shareholder.

"Mr. Hardy, I have to go back and think about the shares." Old Conrad Hilton said.

"No problem." Hardy took a faint sip of his cigar.

"By the way, how many Hilton hotels are there now?" Hardy asked casually.

"There are already 28 hotels, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas..., in addition to London, England, Paris, France, Rome, Italy, and plans to build a new hotel in Milan."

Old Conrad Hilton said proudly that this is a career he has developed for 30 years, and there will be a hotel almost every year.

Hardy nodded and said with a faint smile on his face: "I have friends in these cities and countries. If the Hilton Group needs help, you can tell me."

Old Conrad Hilton left, sitting in the car thinking about something wrong. The last words Hardy said were not to help at all, but to warn.

What to warn about.

He has friends in those cities, and he wants to mess with the Hilton Hotel. It's easy. Who are his friends, the congressman, the gangster, or both. If those people really do something against Hilton, it would be a disaster.

After the old Conrad Hilton went back, he discussed with the shareholders. In fact, the introduction of Hardy, the major shareholder, is of great benefit to the Hilton Hotel. It is impossible for the old Conrad Hilton to sell his shares directly, and Hardy wants too much. , And finally decided to issue additional shares to dilute the owner’s shares.

Just one day before the opening of the Hardy Hotel, Hardy Group and Hilton Hotel Group reached an intention to acquire. Hardy Group acquired additional shares of Hilton Hotel Group for US$48 million. Now Hardy Group’s shares in Hilton Group have reached 30%.

After the completion of the transaction, the Hardy Group became the largest shareholder of Hilton Hotels, and the Hilton family can only be second.

at the same time,

The Hilton Hotel announced that the hotel will build a Hilton hotel in Las Vegas in the future.

At the same time, it is preparing to acquire the United States ‘Statla Hotel’. This hotel has the reputation of "World Hotel Emperor" and owns 10 first-class hotels in total. This acquisition will become the largest real estate transaction in the history of the United States.

Of course ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even with Hardy's 48 million capital injection, Hilton Hotel's funds are still not enough, but they are planning to borrow from Wells Fargo Bank, and Hardy has agreed.

This is the advantage of relying on large capital, making it more convenient to use capital.

For the acquisition of the Hilton Hotel, Hardy is definitely not a coincidence.

It's just normal business. The confrontation on the business field is sometimes more fierce than the battlefield. Hardy has been very kind to Hilton.

Another benefit that Hilton Hotels has gained in this acquisition is the appreciation of its stocks. Because the hotel has joined Hardy, a powerful shareholder, investors have more confidence in Hilton Hotels. After the acquisition was announced, Hilton Hotels’ stocks increased by a lot. Big cut.

Stock price increases,

The value of shareholders has also increased, which is also a good thing for shareholders.
