"Because Hilton International Hotels Group is mine."
Ye Chen replied calmly.
"What.........?"
After hearing Ye Chen's words, the chairman of Kesma Group blurted out, unable to believe what he had heard.
Is this Mr. Ye Chen the new owner of Hilton International Hotel Group?
The chairman of the Kesma Group was extremely surprised; this answer caught him completely off guard.
However, while he was surprised, he also felt that something was amiss.
Hilton International Hotels Group has always been controlled by the Hilton family. This Ye Chen is clearly not a member of the Hilton family, so how could he be the owner of Hilton International Hotels Group?
This doesn't make sense.
On the other side, August was also incredibly shocked. Hilton International Hotel Group belonged to him, and this young man, around twenty years old, was it?!
How can that be possible?!
“You’re not a member of the Hilton family. I know the old Hilton. Even if he retires, he will only hand over the company to one of his sons. He would never hand over Hilton to an outsider like you.”
August sneered and confronted Ye Chen head-on.
"You can't fool people like this."
The chairman of the Kesma Group initially wanted to agree, but then he thought that he hadn't seen Hilton's senior management for a long time.
It's really hard to say for sure. What if this Mr. Ye isn't lying, but telling the truth?
He needs their help, so if it's true, he'll be shooting himself in the foot.
So the chairman of the Kesma Group didn't follow suit, but instead whispered something to his subordinate next to him:
"Go and contact Ms. Bellis, the director of Hilton International Hotels Group, and ask if their group has a new owner."
The chairman of the Kesma Group has some connection with this Hilton International Hotel Group executive, though he himself is unsure and can only try to find out quietly.
"yes."
His subordinates immediately went to do it.
Half a minute later, a subordinate came in to report: "Yes, Chairman, Hilton International Hotel Group recently changed owners. According to Director Bellis, it's a Chinese man named Ye Chen. He acquired a large number of shares in the group and took Hilton Group from the Hilton family."
Oh my God!!
Upon receiving the confirmation, the chairman of Kesma Group was shocked. It turned out that President Ye was not joking; he was telling the truth.
He is indeed the owner of Hilton International Hotels Group!!!
Fortunately, he managed to control himself and didn't agree with August, otherwise he would be in trouble now.
"Do you now think it's possible for me to make your company a long-term partner of Hilton International Hotels Group?"
Ye Chen countered with a question.
"Dear Mr. Ye, of course you can."
The chairman of the Kesma Group revealed a fawning smile.
"Who will be the next director of the Nacre Institute of Technology?"
Ye Chen asked casually.
There are two reasons why Ye Chen is so eager to take over the position of director of the Krell Technology Research Institute.
On the one hand, he didn't want Ogster to succeed and trap him. On the other hand, and most importantly, the boss of Bain International Capital Group had told Ye Chen that the Krell Institute of Technology had been researching artificial intelligence for the past few years.
Significant progress has already been made, and it is estimated that certain results will be achieved in about six months to a year.
If I were to seize the position of director of the Krell Institute of Technology at this point, and the research were to yield results, I would definitely become the most advantageous among the three giants, and probably the one who would benefit the most in the future.
"The next director? Of course it's you, Mr. Ye. Is there even a question?"
After Ye Chen finished speaking, the chairman of Kesma Group immediately and without hesitation answered, switching sides and standing on Ye Chen's side.
Compared to becoming a long-term partner of Hilton International, the benefits that August gave him were insignificant.
"you........"
When he saw that the chairman of the Kesma Group had become a fence-sitter and sided with Ye Chen, August was furious.
He put in a lot of effort, but in the end, he only benefited Ye Chen.
He looked like a clown.
Now that Ye Chen has the support of the chairman of the Kexma Group, his chances of continuing as the director of the Krell Technology Research Institute are gone.
"Why........"
August sighed softly; at that moment, he seemed to have aged several years.
August felt a mix of helplessness and self-mockery.
"In that case, I would be honored to accept the position of the next director of the Krell Institute of Technology."
Ye Chen nodded.
"snort........"
August muttered something stubbornly, then hung up the video call and went off to sulk.
"Mr. Ye, what are your thoughts on the Hilton International Hotel Group?"
After the matter at the Krell Technology Research Institute was settled, the chairman of the Kexma Group cautiously inquired about Ye Chen's situation.
"Just go directly to the headquarters of Hilton International Hotels Group and say it's my order."
Ye Chen spoke.
In fact, the real estate companies that competed with the Kexma Group were about the same size and strength as the Kexma Group. It was just that two of them had some connection with the Hilton family, which pushed the Kexma Group to the sidelines.
Ye Chen's decision to make Kesma Group a long-term partner of Hilton International Hotels Group was also a choice with profound implications.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Ye."
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, the chairman of the Kesma Group was extremely excited.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen stared at his phone, deep in thought.
The Krell Institute for Technology is very strong, and its years of research in artificial intelligence are about to yield results.
Ye Chen wanted to have complete control over it; artificial intelligence was a huge market!
Ogster is now trying to sabotage himself; who knows what he'll do once the research results are available?
Finally, it would be ideal to acquire one-third of the ownership of Augster or the Kesma Group, so that I could own two-thirds or even all of it.
I hope that the game will include challenges that reward players with ownership of the Krell Technology Research Institute in the future.
After putting down his phone, Ye Chen went to do his own thing.
A new day begins. This morning, there is only one class. After class, Ye Chen drives straight to Shanghai University.
However, this time was different from the past. This time, Ye Chen went to Shanghai University not to see Su Ningshuang, but to do something more important.
