Chapter 663: The Beginning of the Talks


In the previous video conference, Miles had already described in detail his meeting with Old Tyron.

For this acquisition, Miles, who acted as agent, also hired an agent specializing in sports industry transactions as an assistant.

In addition, the acquisition team also collected a large amount of information, including the Timberwolves' industrial chain operations, team performance and status, development potential and other information, and even Old Tyron's interests and hobbies were clearly understood.

However, the US$5.5 billion offer based on this did not satisfy Lao Tai Lun.

Moreover, some individuals or consortiums who have made fortunes quickly due to IT and venture capital also have great interest in the Timberwolves.

As a result, competition is inevitable.

Although no one wanted to give a high price to take advantage of others, Qin Yiyang's quotation was really not advantageous.

Dances, wine tastings, cigar nights, golf hours Miles even lost a bottle of the top space fruit wine.

You know, this was a tool specially provided by Qin Yi to him to build relationships.

When a limited number of people from both sides were having a drink, Miles, who had an elegant smile on his face, , I actually shed tears in my heart Damn it, he wanted to keep it for himself.

This was the best wine Qin Yi could produce at the moment.

He hadn't even drank it a few times.

It's a pity that even after paying such a "high" price, Miles, who has been a manager all his life, still can't make old Tyron let go.

Although judging from the performance, the other party really wants to make him a friend, but what's the use of it?

Woolen cloth Fuck, what I want is for you to agree to my acquisition proposal.

It's a pity that business is business.

No matter how eloquent Miles is, it can't change the fact that the quotation is not advantageous.

After another negotiation with no results, he was helpless and felt that he had no choice but to ask Qin Yi for an increase in his quotation.

However, when he was leaving, Old Tai Lun stopped him again and held a discussion with only two people in the conference room. talks.

In the conference room at that time, the silent old Tai Lun was actually a little hesitant.

A shrewd person like Miles realized that things might have turned around the moment he was left alone to meet him, so he took his time and poured wine into his stomach.

God, this is Dawn.

Although it is the most common one, if he can drink it for free, Miles would rather God turn him into a wine barrel.

Treating guests with the morning light or flowing fire has been the most common practice among the rich for more than a year.

It is not only a courtesy, but also a reflection of face and status.

Of course, the grades are generally ordinary editions.

The rich still choose to keep the limited editions and collector's editions that can only be obtained at auctions for themselves.

And while the old fox was in a daze, Miles elegantly and quickly destroyed the half-bottle of Morning Sun, consciously taking advantage, and couldn't help but feel happy.

But when I think of the bottle of top-quality fruit wine before, I can't help but curse in my heart: You old bug who deserves to go to hell, a greedy and stubborn old idiot, giving you such a good fruit wine to drink is simply the greatest insult to God.

He felt that he had lost a lot to Miles, and once again gave himself half a cup, as if he wanted to minimize the loss.

Afterwards, Old Tai Lun, who had been silent for a while, finally expressed his exact thoughts about the acquisition: he agreed to the offer of US$5.5 billion, but there was an additional condition, and he had to talk to Qin Yi in person.

Miles asked about additional conditions, but the old man refused to tell him and insisted on telling Qin Yi face to face.

In desperation, Miles could only report the development of the situation to Qin Yi, which also triggered Qin Yi's Minnesota State trip.

Back to the present time, around six o'clock in the evening, Qin Yi and others drove to the Target Center Arena.

Old Tai Lun, who received the news, was already waiting in the arena.

This is the home arena of the Timberwolves.

Home games, training games and weekday training are all held here.

The Timberwolves have a home game at 9 o'clock tonight, so the talks between the two parties will be arranged in the arena.

Although he holds all the team information in his hands, it is a business after all.

Before making a transaction, Qin Yi always has to take a look at the "goods"

As Qin Yi and the other two walked into the arena side by side, several people who were sitting in the front row watching the team's training immediately came up to them.

The person walking at the front was a thin old man.

Qin Yi had done a lot of preparations before and knew that this old man was the old Tai Lun who had owned the Timber Wolf for more than ten years.

Old Tyron's face is full of wrinkles, but the most impressive thing is his pair of light blue eyes.

Of course, these have nothing to do with words like beautiful or good-looking.

Instead, they are a bit weird, like he has cataracts. eye disease.

Another impressive thing is that with his striking ears and characteristic face shape, this old man actually has a hint of the goblin charm in the movie, which looks quite novel.

Wearing a crisp black suit and standing politely, like an old gentleman, standing together with Qin Yi and the other three in casual clothes seemed a bit out of place, but in terms of momentum, Qin Yi and Kroenke were Not weak at all, even more calm and calm.

In any case, it was their first official meeting.

Miles still planned to introduce Qin Yi, but before he could speak, Kroenke spoke up first: "I just want to know if we have a chance to get some wine." hospitality” Although he didn't appear very eager, he at least had a smile on his face.

This was already a very good attitude for Kroenke, who was used to keeping a straight face and a serious temper.

"Of course, I have prepared a bottle of collector's edition of Dawn.

You guys have really made a lot of money.

You know, this is the first batch of Dawn to be put on the market for auction.

I have been saving it for more than half a year and I didn't want to drink it.

Well, you really made a profit anyway. " Old Tai Lun laughed and stepped forward, responding to Kroenke, but looking at Qin Yi: "Hello, Mr.

Qin, we finally meet."

Qin Yi chuckled and shook hands with him.

While saying hello, I looked towards the court.

The players were practicing pitching.

Some were more focused, while others were looking this way.

They all know the news that the team is about to change ownership.

It is impossible not to have any doubts about the upcoming changes.

They just don't know whether it will affect their competitive state.

Otherwise, the result of tonight's game may be very bad.

Ugly.

Old Tai Lun greeted Qin Yi and introduced several people accompanying him, such as his son Heath, who is also the president of the team, and Tom, the team's head coach and president of the basketball affairs department.

These people are responsible for the specific affairs of the Timberwolves.

Old Tyron said that if you have any questions, you can ask them.

After saying hello for a while, the skinny old man turned to shake hands with Kroenke: "How are you doing recently?

My old friend looks quite strong.

Do you want to have a few fights with me?

Man, I promise you won't.

I'll punch you in the nose, and God will be my witness."

An old guy in his sixties or seventies, he was still jumping around with his fists clenched, as if boxing, and kept punching Kroenke.

The originally serious old man in a suit suddenly became funny.

Qin Yi and Miles looked at each other and smiled.

On the other hand, Heath and Tom's smiles were a little forced.

The team was about to change ownership.

Within half a year at the latest, the team's top management would undergo another major change.

By then, whether they would stay or not would become a problem.

Especially Tom, Qin Yi would kick him away if he was dissatisfied, so it was inevitable that he would be worried.

"Get the drinks, man, don't you think you should entertain us first?"

Kroenke still had that dead look on his face, he pushed away Old Tai Lun's fist, signaled to Qin Yi, and the two of them walked towards the front row.

"Okay, okay, just worry about my bottle of wine, but for Mr.

Qin's sake, otherwise you won't be able to drink it."

Old Tyron was chattering, as if Kroenke had taken advantage of him, but after muttering twice, he waved to his son cheerfully: "Heath, go get the bottle of Collection from the wine cabinet in my office."

"Haha, this is really interesting.

It was originally a good wine made by Mr.

Qin, but today I used it to entertain Mr.

Qin.

But this is the best wine.

You can't use other wines to cope with the situation.

I, Tai Lun, are not like that.
