Chapter 268 My Star Girlfriend

Li Yang and Tong Shuya played in Tahiti for 20 days before returning to China together. The hotel evaluation and promotional film shooting teams that followed Li Yang had already returned to China by plane a long time ago.

Some of the staff responsible for the hotel acquisition continued to stay in Tahiti to assist Mihir in completing the follow-up acquisition.

And Li Yang took Tong Shuya back to Huaxia on his private plane.

After returning to China, Tong Shuya was immediately invited to participate in the piano soundtrack of the single "Dream Catcher", and even went abroad in the MV, adding a piano piece of solo.

Before returning to China, Tong Shuya had already submitted a resignation application to the airline, which had been approved.

A few days after Li Yang returned, he flew to the Four Seasons Group in Toronto again to negotiate the acquisition of the George V Four Seasons Hotel, but the initial negotiation results were not satisfactory.

It is true that the Four Seasons Group has no plans to sell the George V Hotel, and the George V Hotel is one of the major shareholders of the Four Seasons Group, a hotel that the Saudi prince particularly likes.

Therefore, in order to acquire the George V Hotel, Li Yang needs to find a way to convince the Saudi prince, Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdul Azir Al.

Li Yang also knew where the challenge of this mission was!

If you want to buy his favorite George V Hotel from Saudi Prince Alwaleed, it is probably impossible to do it with money alone. After all, they are the real top rich people, and they are really not bad for money.

After returning from Toronto, Li Yang asked Mihir to help collect information on Alwaleed. After all, knowing oneself and knowing one's enemies is the only way to survive a hundred battles. Before going to see the prince, he still needs to get to know him well, at least he knows what to do. Only then can Alwaleed be willing to sell the George V Hotel to himself.

Tong Shuya has completed the recording of the single "Dream Catcher" in collaboration with singer Song Ziyu, and it is already online.

With the popularity of "Dream Catcher" and Song Ziyu's fame, the new song's data on the day it was launched was crushed all the way, directly to the top of the list, and even swept the major short video media in an instant.

The popularity of the song "Dream Catcher" also brought a lot of fans and exposure to Tong Shuya. After all, the marketing team and professional operators of the Dream Catcher Group are operating behind the scenes, and they want to take advantage of this opportunity to help Tong Shuya gain traffic and exposure Follow, it's easy.

Taking advantage of the popularity of Song Ziyu's single "Dream Catcher", the Dream Catcher Group took advantage of the opportunity to make a wave of publicity for Tong Shuya's concert "Dream Catcher Journey", and successfully sold out tickets for several planned concerts. .

Tong Shuya also devoted herself to the preparation of the concert. In the concert, in addition to playing her own masterpieces such as "Dream Catcher" and "The New Praise of Love", she will also collaborate with Lang Lang on a song. Lang Lang's representative works, as well as some classic world famous songs and other repertoires.

There will also be a symphony orchestra on the scene, so the entire operation team has a lot of work to do in the early stage. Fortunately, the Dream Catcher Group has held many large-scale interactive meetings for Heitan and Doug. Great experience for such a large event.

"Husband, husband, let's do it again!"

In the piano room, Tong Shuya took Li Yang and wanted to play "The New Praise of Love" again.

Tong Shuya always strives for perfection and the best in her attitude towards music, and Tong Shuya also attaches great importance to this concert and is also a little nervous, so she always hopes to connect each piece as much as possible. most.

"Okay!" Li Yang can also understand Tong Shuya's mood, and he is actually more nervous than Tong Shuya, because he doesn't want to embarrass Tong Shuya, and he doesn't want to delay Tong Shuya's retreat because he is, after all, this is the audience A track that we are very much looking forward to.

Therefore, in this ensemble, Li Yang also strives to do his best with an attitude of excellence.

The two played together again, and this time it was indeed better than the last time, both in terms of melody and rhythm, it can be said to be seamless and complement each other.

"It sounds good, this time the cooperation is really good!" A voice came from the door, Li Yang and Tong Shuya looked over, it was the music director of this concert.

"Mr. Yu, you are here!"

"Hehe, I just listened to your performance at the door, and I didn't come in for fear of disturbing you. The cooperation just now was very good!" Teacher Yu clapped his hands and said.

With Teacher Yu's approval, Tong Shuya was very happy, and she felt relieved.

"But I feel like I still haven't played very well!" Li Yang said.

"It's already very good. The two of you have a tacit understanding. The concert will be held in five days. You can practice again in the next few days, and it will be fine by then!" Teacher Yu said.

"Husband, you're already great. Few of the violin majors in our school are as good as you!" Tong Shuya also gave Li Yang a great affirmation.

The reason why she pulls Li Yang to practice repeatedly is actually mainly to improve the cooperation between each other. Even if two top artists come together, it will take a long period of time to cooperate and practice.

In the evening, Li Yang received information from Mihir, which was about Saudi Prince Alwaleed.

Li Yang took a closer look at the prince's profile, and couldn't help but have a new understanding of the prince. In fact, Li Yang's impression was that the prince was nothing more than a Saudi prince who became a rich man by relying on oil. Coal boss is about the same.

However, when he read the information of this prince, he felt a burst of sigh, this is also a legend.

In addition to being a member of the richest and most mysterious Saudi royal family in the world, he is also an excellent businessman and investor.

The name Buffett in the Middle East says it all.

The prince is a self-made man compared to other princes, despite the fact that he is backed by the Saudi royal family, who lives an extravagant life on the petrodollars that roll in.

In fact, there are an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 princes in Saudi Arabia, and petrodollars only guarantee them about $15,000 a month in living expenses. And Prince Alwaleed is the best of them all because he's also the hardest working billionaire on the planet.

Alwaleed is of noble descent, and his grandfather was the founding monarch of Saudi Arabia, King Abdul Aziz Al Saud, who unified and established modern Saudi Arabia in 1932.

The prince was born in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, in March 1955. His father was the king's 21st son, and his mother was Princess Mona Soleh, daughter of Riad Soleh, the first Prime Minister of Lebanon after independence.

At the age of 14, his father sent him to the Riyadh Military Academy to study, and he also became the youngest soldier in Saudi history.

In 1976, he went to the United States to study alone. During this period, he worked tirelessly and studied hard, never giving the impression of a playboy.

In 1979, he received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, cum laude, from Menlo College, California. He later obtained a master's degree in social sciences from Syracuse University.

After returning from his studies, he obtained his first venture capital, a loan of $30,000, from his father.

And he got $400,000 after he mortgaged a house his father gave him.

He just used these capital and his own network to start a trade agency and contracting business. In just a few years, his annual profit reached tens of millions of dollars.

Then, he foresees in time that the high welfare policy implemented by the government relying on petrodollars will greatly stimulate the domestic real estate market. He made a decisive move and bought a large piece of real estate in the capital Riyadh, laying the foundation for him to become the largest private real estate owner in the region in the future.

With the prince's success in construction and real estate, his fortune grew rapidly.

After that, he established the "Kingdom Holding Company" to expand his tentacles into other fields.

In 1986, he became the largest shareholder of United Bank of Saudi Arabia, which has been losing money for several years, and in 1989, he transformed United Bank into the most profitable commercial bank in Saudi Arabia. These early years of business experience have accumulated the "first pot of gold" for the prince to sell to the international market.

After that, he successively invested and held shares in a series of internationally renowned companies including Citibank, Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, McDonald's, Disney, Motorola, America Online-Time Warner, Ford, Amazon, eBay, Kodak, Xerox, Four Seasons Hotel, etc. largest foreign individual investor in the United States.

With the rise of China's economy, the prince also set his sights on China. When the Bank of China was listed, he spent US$2 billion to purchase a 2.7% stake in the Bank of China and held it as a strategic investment for a long time.

The investment in Bank of China is only the tip of the iceberg of Alwaleed's strategic investment in Huaxia. He has also made many investments in Huaxia and invested in many banks.

One of the investments that caught Li Yang’s attention was his first direct investment project in mainland China many years ago – Swissotel Kunshan.

For the next few days, in addition to accompanying Tong Shuya in rehearsals for concert performances, Li Yang carefully studied the information about Alwaleed, thinking about the entry point and method of negotiating with him.

As time passed, Tong Shuya's first concert was successfully held in Mingzhu City, and received full applause. Whether it was solo "Dream Catcher", ensemble with Lang Lang piano, or ensemble with Li Yang's violin, all of them became It was the highlight of the concert and was loved by the audience.

With the holding of concerts, Tong Shuya's reputation in the circle is also steadily increasing, and the popularity of the song "Dream Catcher" has also made this song, which has completely transformed from piano to song, become the annual song of the year. Explosive.

In the blink of an eye, November has arrived, and each David TV has begun to prepare the work plan for the New Year's Day and Spring Festival Gala. As one of the phenomenal songs on the Internet this year, "Dream Catcher" has also been included in the program list by each David TV.

Various copyright authorization applications came one after another, and Pearl TV, Magic Capital TV, Mango TV, and even CCTV all sent performance invitations to Tong Shuya.

Its CCTV Spring Festival Gala program is that Tong Shuya and Song Ziyu cooperated to perform the song "Dream Catcher" on the spot.

This made Tong Shuya really excited for a while. Being able to appear on the Spring Festival Gala is a dream opportunity for many entertainment stars, let alone Tong Shuya.

Li Yang also knows that Tong Shuya is really going to be popular this time. In fact, through the operation and packaging of the team at this stage, as a player in the piano field, Tong Shuya's reputation in China is almost equal to that of Lang Lang, and even on the Internet The attention and fame have even surpassed Lang Lang, of course, this is only at the level of fame and traffic.

At present, Tong Shuya has nearly 7 million Weibo fans, nearly 20 million Douyin fans, and millions of piano-related works and short videos from "Dream Catcher". Lay Tong Shuya's road to fame.

It is estimated that after the Spring Festival Gala, Tong Shuya's fame will be close to that of the first-line stars.

With the end of Tong Shuya's concert performance, the rehearsal of the major New Year's Day parties has officially started. In addition, Tong Shuya has also received many invitations to record interviews and variety shows, and even beat some advertise.

Compared with before, Tong Shuya seems to be busier, but fortunately, they are all in the country, and they will not fly around the world like before, so Li Yang and Tong Shuya want to meet or get together, or Easy.

"Mr. Li, the meeting with Alwaleed is scheduled for December 8th at 14:00 Saudi time!" Mihir walked into Li Yang's office and said.

At this stage, with the end of the holding acquisition of the two hotels in Tahiti, Mihir also came back from Tahiti specifically to assist Li Yang in research and meet with Alwaleed to discuss the acquisition of the George V Hotel.

With Mihir's help, Li Yang finally smoothed out some ideas and found some methods, although he didn't know if it would work or if he could successfully complete the negotiation.

But instead of talking on paper, it is better to meet the Saudi prince and have a real face-to-face communication. Even if this time is unsuccessful, at least you can better understand some of the other's psychology, even if it is good to make friends.

"Okay, let's arrange the itinerary!" Li Yang said.

Three days later, Li Yang and Mihir took a private jet to Saudi Arabia, and their destination this time was Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

It has become one of the most famous garden cities in the Arab world, with both the prosperity of an international metropolis and a unique cultural and religious atmosphere unique to Arabia.

It was noon local time when they arrived in Riyadh. After having lunch at the hotel where they were staying, Li Yang and Mihir drove to Alwaleed's residence.
