This is the story of the struggle of Conrad Hilton founder of Hilton Hotels chain which became a symbol of success and luxury for those who stay in it .
When the financial crisis hit the family , small Hilton gave the idea to rent out a spare room in his house to lodging services at the rate of U.S. $ 1 per night . Hilton served to promote the room at the nearest train station .
From the results of these efforts Hilton can go to college and career . But his career was destroyed and she has the rest of the savings of U.S. $ 5,000 . In kegalauannya he found a small hotel owner who sells his hotel $ 20,000 . For additional capital and the Hilton borrows her friend at the bank .
At the age of 91 years Hilton died , precisely in 1979 , at that time he had bequeathed 185 Hotels in the U.S. , and 75 hotel abroad . Now Hilton 's International operate 2,800 hotels , 480 thousand rooms in 76 countries . In 2006 Hilton scored revenue of U.S. $ 8.16 billion ( Rp 73.4 trillion ) .
