I Really Didn't Want To Make A Lot Of Money

Chapter 312

Dubai is the home of the local tycoon Emirates, and Chen Ling’s first-class ticket finally has value. After getting off the gangway, a BMW took him to the terminal building, and a gentle girl from Southeast Asia led him to the first-class lounge.

Moreover, someone sent him an Emirates souvenir immediately to compensate him for not enjoying the special lounge at N’Djamena Airport.

It’s really good to be rich! Chen Ling leaned on the sofa comfortably, enjoying the food, waiting for Jacques to come over for a meeting.

The transit time was four and a half hours, and Chen Ling informed Jacques in advance to enter the airport to meet. The Rotana Hotel Group has solved the funding problem and will continue to promote hotels in Bamako, resorts in Trida and hotels in Luanda. At the same time, it is preparing to conduct research in other African countries and prepare for the next batch of hotel construction. .

As the big boss of the Rotana Group, Chen Ling has never been to the headquarters of the group, and it can even be said that he has never been to Dubai-if the transfer at the airport does not count.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Chen Ling to go and see it in person. Chen Ling originally had this plan. During the France-Africa Summit, when he planned to return to China, he planned to stay in Dubai for two days before returning home.

However, because of the request to rescue the kidnapped CS company employees, time was delayed, so I had to visit the Rotana Group headquarters next time.

Chen Ling did not allow himself to miss the more important things when he returned to the country.

After Jacques was “distributed” by Chen Ling to Dubai, his mental state was much better than before. In the past, he was not only responsible for the company’s management, but also had to play a special political role, and he had to sneak in with Ani. Although his status was good, he was under great psychological pressure.

Chen Lingyi smashed the shackles of Jacques with a hammer and sent him to Dubai to continue to play a role in his new identity. There is no loss of property, the family is still complete, and he can meet with Arnie regularly, and Jacques feels that his life is happy.

He knew very well that this was given by Chen Ling, and he had experienced Chen Ling’s methods, so he did his best in the management of the Rotana Group and did not dare to slack in the slightest. This time Ani made a move to help the Rotana Group solve the funding problem, although it was because Ani thought he owed Chen Ling a favor, but Jacques played a very important role in mediating.

In the future, as long as the business of Rotana Hotel Group can remain stable, there will be no problems in financing.

On this basis, Jacques formulated an ambitious development plan for the Rotana Group. When Chen Ling saw the plan he submitted, he realized that the three hotels and resorts he wanted to promote were a bit of a nuisance.

Sitting on the side of Chen Ling, Jacques pointed to the calculation form on the plan and said: “Mr. Chen, we can open 15 new hotels in the next five years on the premise of keeping our cash flow safe, and the estimated average internal rate of return It’s 33%.”

“Is it so high?” Chen Ling was surprised at this internal rate of return. The internal rate of return is the rate of return that an investment aspires to achieve. The larger the indicator, the better.

Jacques said very affirmatively: “We found feasibility studies conducted by many institutions, and the results were similar. Africa is too short of good hotels!”

Chen Ling felt deeply about this. In the capitals of several African countries that he has visited, the hotel he stayed in was one of the best hotels in the local area, and hotels of this level were always full.

The gap between rich and poor in many countries in Africa is very large, and most of the rich in Africa have a common feature, that is, their wealth comes too easily. This feature has also caused the wealthy people in Africa to spend money very generously. Coupled with the optimistic tradition of Africans and the idea of ​​timely enjoyment from the West, many wealthy people in Africa will never let themselves be wronged in life.

On the other hand, this has also caused the lack of centrally located hotels in many countries in Africa, especially Black Africa. This has caused foreigners to have no choice but to stay in high-end hotels — the low-end hotels are too bad to reach The level of the Bambi Hotel where Chen Ling has stayed is pretty good.

“Jacques, you have such ambitions, which is very good.” Chen Ling said, “However, with so many African countries and various situations, we must be cautious and do a good job in localization. I ask every hotel to All have a strong local shareholder.”

The strong dragon does not crush the earth snake, but the strong dragon can cooperate with the earth snake to form complementary advantages. This is a method used by many multinational investment companies and a means to guard against political and social risks.

Jacques is also a veteran of shopping malls, knowing the meaning of this, and said: “I also have this consideration. In addition, I also have a suggestion. You are very busy and don’t have time to ask about the specific situation of the group, so I suggest you send someone to Rota Namibia Group, do a good job in daily audit and compliance work.”

This request of Jacques was beyond Chen Ling’s expectations. Jacques himself is also one of the shareholders of the Rotana Group. He has the motive to run the group well. Chen Ling gave him full power to manage the group. At this time, he also asked for a restriction on himself, which is very rare.

Jacques’ suggestion reminded Chen Ling.

Since the establishment of MOIN, Chen Ling has cooperated with many units and individuals, totaling several billion dollars, involving many countries and industries, and there will definitely be more and more complex businesses in the future.

However, Chen Ling is always alone, relying on personal relationships to maintain such a large stall. Chen Ling himself likes to be a hand-off shopkeeper. There will be no problems in a short time, but in the long run, it will definitely affect the operation and even have bigger and deeper problems.

“Jacques, my MOIN company needs a headquarters.” Chen Ling said, “Where do you think it should be located?”

“Dubai is very good.” Jacques said without hesitation. “It has good infrastructure, good business environment, convenient transportation, and is very international. It can recruit all kinds of talents and people are willing to work here. Moreover, here is the financial industry. The environment is very good, and funds can go in and out freely, which is very beneficial to the development of MOIN.”

Chen Ling thought for a while, then asked, “How about Singapore? How does it compare with Dubai?”

“Singapore is of course very good.” Jacques said, “but Singapore is a bit far from your main battlefield, and the jet lag is also relatively large.”

Chen Ling’s main battlefield is Africa. It is not very convenient to go to Singapore from most countries in Africa, but there are almost direct flights to Dubai.

Singapore’s time zone is East 8th, and African countries are East 1st to East 3rd. The difference between the two sides is five to seven hours. This leads to a very short intersection of working hours on both sides.

“Okay, I will think about it again. In any case, this headquarters must be set up, which will include the audit and compliance department you mentioned. I will conduct strict compliance management on all MOIN companies that hold or participate in shares.”

Jacques nodded and said, “Mr. Chen, Dubai has another big advantage, low taxes. There is no value-added tax, Rotana Hotel Group does not have to pay profit tax, and I personally do not have to pay income tax here.”

Chen Ling doesn’t know much about this aspect, but he knows that taxes can sometimes put a lot of pressure on the operation of enterprises.

“Jacques, the Investment Promotion Agency of Dubai will give you a medal for the best non-staff personnel.” Chen Ling joked.

Jacques smiled and said, “I only found out after I came here. Didn’t you realize that you didn’t realize it when you let me come here?”

Chen Ling spread his hands: “Really not. I just often hear how Dubai is so good. At that time, I was thinking of arranging you outside of Algeria, so I thought of Dubai.”

Having said this, Chen Ling sighed, “Lack of manpower! Even if I set up my headquarters in Dubai, who will manage it?”

Jacques smiled and did not speak. With his current position, it is not appropriate to recommend a candidate to Chen Ling.

“I just don’t know if that person is willing or not.” Chen Ling muttered to himself.
