Ye Chen's previous plan to become the largest shareholder of Hilton International Hotels Group as soon as possible has come to fruition.

Two days ago, Ye Chen made a phone call asking someone to help find people who own shares in Hilton International Hotel Group, to see if anyone was willing to sell their shares so he could buy them at a high price.

Of course, it's unlikely that you'd be able to buy a lot of shares.

But Ye Chen already owns 47%, and only needs 4% more shares to become the largest shareholder of Hilton International Hotels Group.

Larger shares are hard to buy, but 4% shouldn't be a problem.

Sure enough, after some searching, they found a suitable person—Belise Hilton, a fringe member of the Hilton family, a woman in her twenties. She was not a direct descendant of Hilton and was not particularly loyal to the Hilton family.

Currently, Bellis Hilton owns 5% of Hilton International Hotels.

Most importantly, Berry Hilton is extravagant and spends money recklessly. The money she has is almost not enough to keep up with her spending, and she is about to go into debt.

She is an excellent target.

Once Ye Chen acquires her shares, he can smoothly become the largest shareholder of Hilton International Hotels Group.

After Ye Chen's people contacted Bellis Hilton, she did not explicitly agree, but was willing to talk.

Soon, with the help of Ye Chen's people, Ye Chen was able to speak with Belle Hilton.

“I am Bailis Hilton.”

After the call was connected, Belle Hilton greeted him coldly:

"I heard that Mr. Ye wants to buy my 5% stake?"

“I will offer $1.8 billion to buy your shares.”

Ye Chen nodded.

Based on Hilton International's current market capitalization, Belle Hilton's 5% stake is worth approximately US$1.8 billion.

“1.8 billion US dollars, Mr. Ye. I am a member of the Hilton family and have deep feelings for the Hilton family. I cannot betray the family and give up my shares for 1.5 billion US dollars.”

Baillie Hilton spoke with great emotion, as if she were absolutely loyal to the Hilton family.

Two billion US dollars...

Ye Chen ignored Bellis Hilton's heartfelt speech and spoke directly.

“Mr. Ye, if I sell my 5% stake, I will be a traitor to the Hilton family, and they will never let me go.”

"I can consider it later, but even if I agree, I need you, Mr. Ye, to come and sign the contract with me in person. I'm too lazy to go to China."

Bellis Hilton continued speaking.

"Twenty-five billion US dollars..."

Ye Chen gave an indifferent reply.

"OK, OK........"

Upon hearing Ye Chen mention $2.5 billion, Belle Hilton excitedly agreed immediately, fearing that Ye Chen might change his mind.

Actually, when Ye Chen mentioned two billion US dollars, she had already begun to waver. Now that Boss Ye was offering two billion US dollars, she had even less reason to refuse.

"Mr. Ye, I'll book a plane ticket right away and try to get to China tonight or tomorrow morning to see you."

Not only that, at this moment, Belle Hilton no longer asked Ye Chen to go abroad in person, but instead took the initiative to come to China with great enthusiasm.

"make a deal."

Ye Chen nodded in agreement, and with a mere 2.5 billion US dollars, he acquired 5% of Hilton International Hotels Group's shares.

Indeed, problems that money can solve are usually quite difficult.

The next morning, Belle Hilton arrived in Shanghai and met Ye Chen.

Both parties signed the contract, and the transaction was completed.

With this, Ye Chen's stake in Hilton International Hotels Group reached 52%, making him the largest shareholder of Hilton International Hotels Group.

Just as Ye Chen was signing the contract with Bellis Hilton, the Hilton family was holding a meeting.

Redmond Hilton was the host of the meeting.

Recently, there was an internal power struggle within the Hilton family, with Redmond Hilton and Eric Hilton vying for the position of new president.

Ultimately, the shrewd and calculating Redmond Hilton emerged victorious and became the head of the Hilton family.

Just as he was ambitiously preparing to take over Hilton International Hotels Group, he suddenly discovered that Ye Chen had acquired as much as 47% of Hilton International Hotels Group's shares during this period.

This gave Redmond Hilton a huge fright. If he hadn't discovered this and Ye Chen had continued, things would have been over when Ye Chen's shareholding reached 51%.

In that case, the person in charge of Hilton International Hotels Group would change from the Hilton family to Ye Chen.

The position of the new president now belongs to Ye Chen.

Redmond Hilton became increasingly frightened as he thought about it.

To prevent this from happening, Redmond Hilton convened the meeting and summoned key members of the Hilton family, as well as other shareholders.

Redmond Hilton wanted to use this meeting to suppress Ye Chen, ideally completely sidelining him and ensuring he would never be involved in Hilton's affairs again.

"Has everyone arrived?"

Redmond Hilton inquired.

"Everyone is here except for Belis."

Subordinates report.

Where are the Belis people?

"It's not clear yet, but it seems they went abroad."

Redmond Hilton sighed softly, looking down on this spendthrift heiress. It was normal for her to squander money every day and travel abroad frequently.

"Forget about her. Although she's not a close associate, she's still a member of Hilton's team, so I'm sure she'll support my decision."

"Once everything is settled, I'll call her and ask her to vote."

After saying that, Redmond Hilton walked to the front and spoke passionately to everyone present.

Soon, under Redmond Hilton's instigation and manipulation, everyone agreed with his idea and united against the common enemy. They were willing to help Redmond Hilton suppress and sideline Ye Chen!

With his plans proceeding smoothly, Redmond Hilton smiled, brimming with confidence.

Ye Chen is still too green to take over the entire Hilton Group while I'm not paying attention.

His plan was discovered by himself; Ye Chen's talent and wisdom were far inferior to his own.

He thought he could quietly bring me down and take over Hilton? Ha! What is he? He's just delusional and full of wishful thinking!

Everyone on his side has reached a consensus to target Ye Chen. Now, the real business is about to begin.

Thinking it over, Redmond Hilton made a video call to Ye Chen!

The main event is about to begin!!!
