Chapter 764: Chapter 0765: Eiffel Hotel Chain Group [Third Update]

Xia Lan knew that with her abilities, she simply couldn’t manage such a large corporate group.

The reason Eiffel Chain Hotel was called a corporate group was not only because of its chain hotels but also because it included a property management company, a security management company, and several subsidiaries responsible for the hotel’s logistics.

These subsidiaries were related to the chain hotels, yet they operated with relative independence.

From the initial stages as an ordinary hotel to now, the Eiffel Chain Hotel had evolved into a systematic hotel operation. Except for some types of meat which required cooperation from external suppliers, it self-supplied in most other aspects.

It could be said that the structure of Eiffel Chain Hotel was immensely substantial. If Li Fei were still alive, using his plan, he was ready to turn it into a top 500 global enterprise-level hotel.

Thus, in Xia Lan’s case, she was well aware that with her current prestige and identity in the hotel, she simply couldn’t manage this corporate group. The ultimate outcome would either be the hotel going bankrupt or being devoured by others.

Inexplicably, Xia Lan knew that probably only this ordinary-looking young man in front of her could help her.

"What about the other five shareholders of the company, don’t they have any thoughts?"

Ye Qiu asked.

Actually, without Xia Lan saying anything, Ye Qiu had already understood.

The Eiffel Chain Hotel at present was like a piece of fat meat, and many people wanted a piece, especially now with Li Fei’s mishap, leaving the hotel leaderless, those five internal shareholders were even more eager to take the first dibs.

However, Li Fei had owned over eighty percent of the group shares, which meant these shares were now in Xia Lan’s hands; she needn’t worry at all.

If it were below fifty percent, Ye Qiu would have been somewhat concerned.

But with so many shares at hand now, there was no need for worry, unless the internal situation was extremely complex.

"Let’s go to the company first and see. I’m still not clear about the affairs of Eiffel Hotel, and I need to sort things out before knowing how to help you!"

Luo Fei, having been Li Fei’s personal bodyguard and driver for so many years, was usually aware of the big and small affairs of the company.

Indeed, at one point, Li Fei had intended to appoint Luo Fei as the head of the security company under the group, but Luo Fei preferred to continue as Li Fei’s bodyguard and driver.

"Let’s get in the car first, and you can tell me about the company’s matters."

When Ye Qiu and Luo Fei got into his Mercedes, it was still Ye Qiu who drove, while Luo Fei sat in the passenger seat.

First, they started with the matters concerning the other five shareholders.

These five shareholders were two of Li Fei’s university classmates and three friends.

Originally, Li Fei and his two classmates established the Eiffel Hotel, and later the three other friends contributed funds and became shareholders of the group company.

The shares of these individuals ranged from three to five percent.

This might not seem much, but given the current value of Eiffel Chain Hotel, each person’s shares were worth more than ten or twenty billion. If they were to go public, undoubtedly, the shares would be even more valuable.

Moreover, initially, these people had only invested a few million.

If Li Fei hadn’t had the accident, these people would have been shareholders of the group hotel, vice-chairmen of the corporate group; typically, they only had power over dividends, and they had no authority to interfere with the company’s major affairs.

This point was made very clear by Li Fei at the establishment of the company, even specified clearly in the cooperation contracts.

Therefore, even though Luo Fei had followed Li Fei for so long, he rarely saw those five shareholders at the group company. What those five shareholders were doing usually, he didn’t know.

Basically, it was only during the annual dividend meetings, annual reports, and summaries that Luo Fei would see those five shareholder bosses.

Unexpectedly, just as Li Fei had an accident, these five shareholders jumped out, evidently eyeing that piece of the juicy hotel business, wanting to devour it or have a bigger share.

"From what you say, the group’s main management were all appointed by Li Fei before his death."

"That should be the case, except for a few financial staff in the accounting department from those five shareholders, other departments had no interference from the five shareholders."

Clearly, the presence of those shareholders’ financial staff in the accounting department was mainly because Li Fei wanted to reassure them that he was not embezzling the dividend profits.

However, other departments, having no personnel from those shareholders, showed that Li Fei usually did not want those shareholders to intervene.

"Then why is Mrs. Li now facing these internal troubles?"

Ye Qiu asked.

"I don’t know either."

Luo Fei was also unclear.

After all, the corporate group should be running normally, with no issues other than Li Fei’s accident.

But why did Xia Lan seem to be facing significant problems?

Could it be that there really was some major issue within Eiffel Chain Hotel?

As Ye Qiu drove following Xia Lan, Luo Fei occasionally talked about the corporate group’s situation, and the more Ye Qiu thought, the more he felt that there was something wrong.

After driving for almost an hour, they finally arrived at the parking lot beneath a towering building in the Jiangning District.

This building was the headquarters of Eiffel Chain Hotel and also served as its office location.

The building, purchased by Li Fei for a high price just a few years ago, was located in the city center of Jinling Jiangnan. Here, just the few letters on the upper floors alone were worth a lot of advertising fees.

Eiffel Hotel Chain Group.

If one looked from outside, they could see those big letters. During the day, they might not be very clear due to the sunlight.

But at night, with the lights on, those letters could be seen from afar.

After Ye Qiu parked the car in the parking area and locked the car doors, Xia Lan already arrived and got out of her red BMW.

The security guards here were part of the property management company and security company belonging to the hotel group’s subsidiaries.

When the security guard recognized Xia Lan as the group company’s president’s wife, he hurried over to greet her, and Xia Lan nodded.

When Ye Qiu and Luo Fei followed her and took the elevator up, they could occasionally see the management and staff working at the group headquarters.

However, when those people saw Xia Lan, they merely greeted her but did not show the expressions of respect and awe they usually did.

Had the management and staff of this group headquarters heard some rumors?

Or was there some issue here?

From the expressions of these people, Ye Qiu could tell, there was definitely a problem.
