"Isn't Steven back yet?"
In a luxurious suite of a hotel in Varese, northwest of Milan, near Malpensa Airport, Tuohir was anxiously asking a middle-aged man in his forties sitting opposite him.
His name is Jason Levin, a New Yorker, 40 years old, a graduate of the University of Michigan Law School, and a graduate student in social policy.
In front of others, his identity is the CEO of the American NBA Memphis Grizzlies.
A year ago, Grizzlies owner Robert Pera was able to acquire the Grizzlies from his predecessor, Michael Heisley, because he was the thread.
Jason Levine’s identity and position are very complicated, and his experience is quite legendary.
He worked as a lawyer for several years, as a law school professor, and as a campaign consultant and strategic analyst for many American political stars.
He later served as the assistant general manager of the NBA Kings and has since entered the sports circle.
So far, he has successfully operated the acquisition of three NBA teams and is the most successful trader in the American sports world, including bringing together a team of nine people to jointly acquire the Philadelphia 76ers, and then acquired the Philadelphia 76ers.
D.C.
United of Major League Soccer.
The experience of three successful operations has made Jason Levin famous in the American professional sports circle.
It was also while running the Philadelphia 76ers and D.C.
United that he met Thohir.
A rich second generation who comes from a wealthy Indonesian family, but always lives in the shadow of the glory of his father and brother.
It can be said that the two of them hit it off almost immediately and have an irreversible friendship.
This time, Thohir decided to acquire Inter Milan, and Jason Levine was the driving force behind it, because he also wanted to successfully enter the European professional football world, the core of world football, through this transaction.
Everyone can see that international capital is pouring into European professional football with an increasingly alarming momentum.
The potential in this area is too great.
Because football is the largest sport in the world, with fans all over the world.
They just didn't expect that in this first acquisition battle outside the United States, they would encounter a Waterloo.
It's no wonder that Tohir is so anxious, because he has already boasted in front of his father and brother that he will be able to win a Serie A giant, convincing the latter to put pressure on Pirelli, but if he fails now, won't he have to do it in the future?
Became the laughing stock of his family When Jason Levin thought of this, Tuohir said anxiously: "Jason, why don't you call him and urge him to hurry up?"
"Don't be in such a hurry, Eric, don't worry, it should be there soon" Jason Levin said with a leisurely smile.
"Don't worry, how can you tell me to rest assured?"
Tuohir said a little anxiously, "It's been half a month, and that guy Moratti hasn't contacted us again.
There are rumors flying all over the world.
One moment, it's said to be an American consortium, and the next it's said to be an American consortium.
The Middle East consortium, and then it was said to be a local consortium, I was confused. " Jason Levin shook his head, smiled, and stood up, "Don't be nervous, man, what you need to do most now is to relax."
With that said, he strolled to the window of the room facing the street, opened the curtains and took a look, and smiled.
"Here, look, he's here."
Tuohir immediately jumped up from the sofa and rushed to the window.
I saw a red mountain bike approaching from the far side of the street.
The man on the bike was wearing a complete set of mountain bike racer equipment.
He was riding very fast, and he was obviously making the final sprint.
"Damn it, he thought he was participating in a mountain bike race," Tuohir cursed angrily and funny.
Jason Levin laughed.
My partner has this kind of virtue A few minutes later, the mountain biker appeared outside their room door.
"Here you go, Steven" Jason Levine opened the door for him.
"Well" Steven gasped hard, "Damn, getting here from Milan is indeed a big challenge."
Tuohir looked helplessly at this weirdo.
He had a car but couldn't drive.
He just wanted to ride a bicycle.
He deserved to die from exhaustion.
"I said, Steven, tell me quickly what's going on."

"The situation is not very good."
Steven took off his racing equipment, and even took off his shirt, revealing his strong upper body.
The most dazzling thing was the bunch of thick chest hair, but he didn't answer the question.
“Is there water?”
"Here" Jason Levin obviously knew him very well.
He had already taken out a large bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator in the living room and threw it over.
This guy took it, unscrewed the bottle cap, and poured it into his stomach.
Not long after, a large bottle of water was poured into his stomach, and he let out a sound, which seemed very satisfying.
"Say it quickly, quickly" Tuohir urged again anxiously.
Steven glanced at Tuohir and sighed, "I received news that three days after you last met with Moratti, Moratti contacted the other party.
The following week, the negotiation teams of both parties Frequent contact.”
"The negotiations on behalf of Inter Milan were carried out by the local cg law firm in Milan, and Lazard Bank was responsible for the financial assessment.
I checked and found that the law firm representing the mysterious buyer was from the United Kingdom, but it was through this law firm.
Partners in Italy are involved in the negotiations, while Cash Harris Investment Bank, a well-known British football investment bank, is responsible for the financial assessment.”
Tuohir was a little stunned when he heard this.
What on earth does this guy do for food?
He could even find out about such a confidential matter.
Jason Levine seems to have been accustomed to this for a long time.
"It is not surprising to entrust Italian lawyers to do it through British lawyers.
It is also normal to do it through Cash Harris Investment Bank."
"Yes."
Steven nodded and smiled, "The other party is also a powerful character.
He has the entire Italian media and reporters in a circle, but in the end, no one knows their background."
"But I have a question," Jason Levine asked again, "how did he buy the shares in Provela's hands in Tronchetti?"
Tronchetti Provela is the chairman of Pirelli and the second largest shareholder of Inter Milan.
He does not hold a lot of shares, but he has a close relationship with Moratti.
Thohir had previously put pressure on Tronchetti through his family. , the latter also said that as long as Tuohir takes Moratti's shares, he is also willing to sell his shares to Tuohir.
It is worth mentioning that one is engaged in tires and the other is engaged in petrochemicals, so in the past few years, the business relationship between Tronchetti and the Moratti family has also been very close.
When Moratti acquired Inter Milan, especially Ronchetti has contributed a lot, so Pirelli has been Inter Milan's sponsor in the past few years.
"Good question" Steven chuckled, "In recent years, Pirelli's development has obviously not been as good as expected.
Although it is not losing money, seeing that its competitors are getting stronger and stronger, Pirelli is also worried that its market share will be eroded, so he has been They all want to develop the Asian market, so they are happy to sponsor Inter Milan, which is quite famous in Asia.”
Having said this, Steven glanced at Tuohir again, "For the same reason, he also supports our acquisition of Inter Milan, because after we acquire Inter Milan, we will definitely develop the Asian market in a big way, which is in line with their strategy."
Jason Levine and Tuohir looked at each other and nodded in unison.
Steven's analysis is reasonable.
"I have understood that there are two reasons why Tronchetti is willing to sell his shares.
One is that he is very tempted by the other party's plan to run Inter Milan and develop Asia.
Tronchetti even agreed.
As long as Inter Milan qualifies for the European competition this year, the team’s sponsorship fee will increase starting from next season.”
This moment surprised both Jason Levine and Tuohir.
With this plan alone, Tronchetti can promise to increase the team’s sponsorship fees Who is this guy?
“The second news I received was that Pirelli was about to win a cooperation order from Aston Martin.”
"Aston Martin" Jason Levine is a bit strange.
What does this have to do with Aston Martin?
Steven nodded and smiled, "Since Aston Martin was acquired by a consortium from China, it has aggressively entered the Chinese and Asian markets, and its sales have been rising steadily, especially with the launch of the Lagonda sub-brand and luxury sedans. and crossovers, sales have surged, especially in the Chinese market.”
“I have read media reports before.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
In the first half of 2013, Aston Martin sold over 10,000 units in China.
It is expected that the number will exceed 30,000 units worldwide and will exceed 50,000 units for the whole year, double the number last year.
It doubled last year and doubled from the previous year.
In the second half of this year, Aston Martin’s Chinese branch will officially be put into operation, with annual production exceeding 100,000 vehicles.”
"The outside world is also very optimistic about Aston Martin's sales.
There are a lot of orders now, but the production capacity cannot keep up.
Once production catches up, it is entirely possible for annual sales to exceed 100,000, or even higher, so almost all All tire companies attach great importance to cooperation with this top luxury car brand, and Pirelli is no exception.”
Jason Levine and Tuo Hill have also heard about the resurrection of Aston Martin.
Through the past three years of operation, Aston Martin has not only successfully achieved resurrection, but also launched the sub-brand Lagonda, broadening the model and market in one fell swoop, and the average selling price of each car is around 200,000 euros. .
In other words, if Aston Martin really sold 30,000 vehicles in the first half of the year, their turnover would be more than 6 billion euros.
According to media reports, Aston Martin’s revenue was as high as 60%.
A gross profit margin of thirty-five, which is a gross profit of more than two billion euros.
"Oh my god, no wonder that Chinese tycoon dared to come to Italy to spend money and buy everything.
It turns out."
Also from the second generation of rich people, Tuohir had long been jealous of the whirlwind caused by Yang Huan's personal visit to Italy not long ago.
Now that he thought about it, he did have the capital to show off.
If it were any car manufacturer in the world, one with such a high gross profit would not be able to sell so many cars, and one that could sell so many cars would simply not be able to maintain such a high gross profit.
I don’t even know how that Chinese guy managed to play Aston Martin to this level.
But wait there's a problem Tuohir suddenly understood and pointed at Steven.
He wanted to say something, but couldn't, but he always felt something was wrong.
Jason Levine also looked shocked, and he had obviously figured it out.
"Yes, I definitely have reason to suspect that it was Yang Huan who bought Inter Milan."
Although they were mentally prepared, Tuohir and Jason Levin were still very shocked when they heard this.
They never thought that the person who secretly fought with them would be the legendary Yang Huan What made them even more unexpected was that the Chinese really lived up to his reputation.
He kept everyone under the applause and neatly won Inter Milan.
For this reason, they were unconvinced.
Neither works But Tuohir is also a second-generation rich man who is used to being arrogant.
When he first heard Yang Huan's name, he was still a little bit mentally disturbed.
After all, the name was so scary.
But then I thought about it, I had been flirting with Inter Milan for so long, but when I was about to enter the bridal chamber, the groom was snatched away.
You say it's hateful or not Therefore, the rich second generation of Indonesia snorted fiercely.
"Yang Huan robbed me.
I'm going to call the newspaper right now to expose you.
I want the whole world to know about it.
I'll see how you deal with it then
