Strategic Hotels And Resorts
There are 17 luxury hotels in the United States and one in Germany in this hotel network. In 1997, Strategic Hotels and Resorts was founded. Laurence S. Geller, a philanthropist and real estate investor was the driving force behind it. In 2016, a Chinese firm called Anbang Insurance Group was said to be interested in purchasing it for $6.5 million. However, it appears that the contract was eventually renegotiated since the insurance firm purchased the hotel chain for $1 million less. This was due to the fact that one of the properties was unable to be sold. Because it was close to a navy installation, the US government prohibited it from proceeding.

Alka-Seltzer
Alka-Seltzer is one of the world’s oldest branded medications. In 1931, the Dr. Miles Medicine Company, now known as Miles Laboratories, began selling this pain reliever and antacid drink. In 1978, a German firm named Bayer purchased it after it had been in American hands for a long time. Bayer has a reputation for mixing it up with the world’s most powerful pharmaceutical corporations. It even signed an agreement with GlaxoSmithKline in 2004 to cooperate on a combined campaign using the “Strike Up A Conversation” tag line to boost Levitra sales.
