The mentioned figure will be much higher than the price that Thaigroup, a multi-sector company shed out to acquire 3.7 million shares, or 52.4% of Kim Lien stakes from the State Capital Investment Corporation (SCIC), Vietnam's sovereign wealth fund in 2015.
During that auction 3 years ago, Thaigroup was the winner to acquire 52.4% stake at VND1 trillion (US$43.5 million), beating other contenders including Hanoitourist, Refrigeration Electric Engineering Corp and Mien Trung Construction Corp.

Besides Thaigroup and GPBank, other shareholders of Kim Lien Hotel include PT Finance (6.7%) and GP Invest (6.6%).
