Hilton is an orphan. When he was young, he faced the worst economic depression in American history. He had to wander around begging for a living.

Once, Little Hilton wandered to a city and spent several nights in the corner of the porch of a hotel. But one night in the middle of the night, he was suddenly awakened by a pain. When he opened his eyes, it turned out that the doorman of the hotel was kicking him hard with disdain.

As soon as he resisted, the burly big boy picked him up and threw him into the snow about 0/0 meters away from the hotel, and insulted him: "The boss of our hotel group will come to check the work tomorrow morning. You dirty and cheap beggar, how can you spend the night here? This is simply a shame for us. "

Hearing this, Little Hilton was really furious. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist, and really wanted to rush up and beat the doorman. He obviously didn't need to make trouble for himself, so he pointed to the other party and said loudly, "Wait and see, sooner or later I will open a bigger and more luxurious hotel than you." Remember what I am saying now. "

I don't want the doorman to whistle sarcastically, which aroused the determination of Little Hilton to struggle.

After that night, Little Hilton went through all kinds of hardships to find a factory willing to hire child labor, worked hard and saved every penny she earned. After several years of tossing, Little Hilton finally broke out of its cocoon, founded the first "Hilton Hotel" and quickly expanded into one of the largest hotel groups in the world-Hilton Hotel Group.
