Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 385 - 270: The Duel Between the King of Hell and the Fairy
Chapter 385: Chapter 270: The Duel Between the King of Hell and the Fairy
In Lujiazui just as Chu Mo was at ease and comfortable, even though it was late at night, Zhan Bingxue was still busy in the president’s office on the eighty-eighth floor of the Bafang International Hotel.
She was worth billions and known as the “Ice Fairy” by the upper circles of the Magic Capital, Zhan Bingxue was seriously examining a document in front of her.
Bafang International Chain Hotel’s expansion plan included a total of eighteen five-star hotels, and now, Zhan Bingxue had acquired including the first one, the Bafang International Hotel which served as headquarters, Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel, Tianyi Hotel, and Ronghua Hotel, a total of five properties.
However, since the Magic Capital Financial Building had become independent a while ago and was no longer a part of the Bafang International chain, the assets under Zhan Bingxue’s control had significantly diminished.
To fill the void left by the Magic Capital Financial Building, Zhan Bingxue had set her sights on another target.
The Tengwangge Grand Hotel, also located in Lujiazui.
This hotel was ranked second among the ninety-six five-star hotels and above in the Magic Capital, only slightly inferior to the seven-star Tianxiang Garden.
The market value of Tengwangge Hotel was 18.5 billion, just slightly less than the 22 billion of Tianxiang Garden.
Though just a five-star hotel, Tengwangge Hotel in many aspects had surpassed the level of five-star establishments, barely trailing behind the seven-star Tianxiang Garden.
Originally, the plan was to take over Tengwangge Hotel last; once all the five-star hotels in Lujiazui had been acquired, Tengwangge Hotel would fall without a struggle.
But with the Magic Capital Financial Building now managed by Dong Xuner, and the resulting significant reduction in assets, Zhan Bingxue urgently needed to take over Tengwangge Grand Hotel to fill the gap left by the Financial Building.
“Chairwoman Zhan, if you want to take over Tengwang Pavilion Grand Hotel, normal negotiations are unlikely to be that easy. This hotel, unlike the previous Tianyi Hotel, has the Su family as its support.
The Su family is extremely wealthy, with assets of over fifty billion. The family head, Su Zhengxiong, is also a top figure in the Magic Capital, with extensive connections. It is said he is close friends with Elder Lu, and it probably won’t be easy for them to relent.”
In the brightly lit office on the eighty-eighth floor of Bafang International, several key confidants, including Chairwoman Zhan Bingxue, gathered to discuss the acquisition of Tengwang Pavilion Grand Hotel.
But these confidants were clearly not in favor of making a move on Tengwang Pavilion at present.
Three months ago, after taking over Tianyi Hotel valued at 5.7 billion, and a month ago smoothly acquiring Ronghua Hotel worth 3.5 billion, the next target, according to plan, should have been Magic Capital International Grand Hotel valued at 7.2 billion.
At Zhan Bingxue’s side, a middle-aged man in his forties spoke seriously:
“Chairwoman Zhan, currently, to acquire Tengwang Pavilion, not to mention the formidable difficulties we will face, the price we will have to pay will undoubtedly be enormous.
If we leave Tengwang Pavilion as the last to take over, by then our layout in Lujiazui will have been established, and we will have acquired seventeen out of eighteen five-star hotels.
Even with the Su family’s power, it won’t be long before they give in. But if we act now, Tengwang Pavilion, originally worth 18.5 billion, might end up costing us as much as 20 billion to secure.
Furthermore, Su Zhengxiong is a decisive person with ruthless tactics and known as the ‘King of Hell’ in the Magic Capital. Although our Bafang International Chain Hotel has vast assets, its foundation is still unstable. With just our Bafang International’s strength alone, challenging the Su family head-on would be very difficult unless…”
“Unless the big boss is willing to get involved, utilizing his relationship with Elder Lu, we could have Elder Lu mediate, which would certainly be more effective than if we were to do it ourselves.”
The middle-aged man’s speech was not yet over when a lady with glasses beside him also spoke up:
“Chairwoman, the big boss has been fully expanding into the jewelry industry in Capital City, and a large part of our legal team’s elite has been dispatched there, leaving us short-staffed.
Moreover, it is said that the big boss has reached cooperation agreements with several jewelers in Capital City, and the Lin family from the Magic Capital is also interested in getting involved. It’s going to be a major move. The big boss must be too busy to care about us right now, and if we completely fall out with Su Zhengxiong at this time, it could affect the big boss’s plans…!”
When the dignified woman’s words fell, the spacious office suddenly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
At that moment, Zhan Bingxue, sitting silently in the main seat, took a deep breath. Her gaze swept over the confidants in front of her, then she nodded and said:
“I will consider this matter. It’s getting late. Let’s end today’s meeting here. You all tidy up and get off work.”
The several hotel executives bowed respectfully and left. Suddenly, the president’s office was left with only Zhan Bingxue.
She gently stroked a layout diagram in front of her, yet Dong Xuner’s face suddenly flashed through her mind.
Dong Xuner was a hotel executive personally promoted by Zhan Bingxue and played a key role in several of Bafang International’s plans. The Magic Capital Financial Building, valued at 27.5 billion, was even more crucial than Tianxiang Garden, worth 22 billion.
And Zhan Bingxue’s entrusting of the Financial Building to Dong Xuner’s management just showed the trust Zhan Bingxue had in her.
If Dong Xuner had been at today’s meeting, she would have definitely stood by her side.
Zhan Bingxue understood her counterpart; Dong Xuner was one of the rare action-oriented talents who dared to fight and strive. Compared to the several lieutenants around her who were sufficient in defense but lacking in ambition, Dong Xuner was more to Zhan Bingxue’s liking.
However, the current Dong Xuner was no longer under her command. She had ascended to a higher branch, managing assets worth hundreds of billions, the coveted trinity of Magic City. Wielding the assets at her disposal, even Zhan Bingxue didn’t control as much as her now.
Leaning gently against the sofa behind her, feeling drained of all strength, Zhan Bingxue let out a long sigh.
She really felt somewhat exhausted.
At this moment, the office door opened, and her personal assistant came in with a cup of steaming coffee. She placed the coffee in front of Zhan Bingxue, and cautioned carefully:
“Chairman, it’s already nine o’clock!”
Zhan Bingxue, who had just picked up the coffee cup, jerked awake. She glanced at her personal secretary, who had been working overtime with her for over half a year, and said with a touch of apology in her eyes:
“Xiao Qian, you should pack up and get off work. I’ll head back once I finish these documents!”
The professionally dressed personal secretary nodded respectfully.
Nine o’clock at night was already considered an early departure from work for her!
The other party turned to leave, but before closing the door, the secretary named Xiao Qian gently reminded:
“That… Chairman, about the class reunion you were reminded of earlier… A guy who claims to be He Can has already called six times urging you to go!”
Zhan Bingxue waved her hand. She was so busy every day that she hardly had time to eat, let alone attend some class reunion. She was about to sip her coffee to refresh herself when something occurred to Zhan Bingxue, and she casually asked:
“Right, where did you say the reunion was being held?”
“Chairman, according to your classmate, they are currently at Tengwang Pavilion Grand Hotel. He also said that they won’t be leaving until they see you there!”
Hearing this, Zhan Bingxue looked at her wristwatch.
Nine o’five at night.
She nodded slowly and then focused her attention on the documents in front of her, softly instructing:
“I got it, Xiao Qian. You can go ahead and leave!”
The other person left respectfully, and the moment the door was closed, Zhan Bingxue slowly sipped the bitter coffee and quickly started scanning the documents!
Half an hour later, after signing her name on the last document, completing all her paperwork, Zhan Bingxue stood up slowly. She took her car keys and promptly left the office.
Nine forty at night.
A $47 million Aston Martin left the underground parking garage of Bafang International Hotel, then sped away toward the city center.
Fortunately, the roads were no longer congested at this time.
At nine fifty-seven, the Aston Martin stopped in front of a towering skyscraper.
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
Zhan Bingxue elegantly exited the car and looked up at the 98-story, super five-star Tengwang Pavilion towering before her.
This skyscraper, with a market value of 18.5 billion, was Zhan Bingxue’s next target for acquisition!
And her group of college classmates was also inside this hotel!
Taking a deep breath, she handed the keys of the Aston Martin to the valet and walked confidently and elegantly towards the grand hotel, greeted warmly by the welcoming staff. Zhan Bingxue, whose name now resounded in the upper echelons of Magic City, stepped into the super hotel!
Tengwang Pavilion, the property of the Su family’s Su Zhengxiong in Magic City!
Zhan Bingxue wondered just how formidable this storied Su family of Magic City could be.
If Su Zhengxiong’s name was a force in Magic City, her own moniker, “The Ice Queen” of Zhan Bingxue, was not to be taken lightly either!
