Football Giants
Chapter 674: something wrong
"Steven hasn't come back yet?"
In the luxury suite of a hotel in Varese near Malpensa Airport, northwest of Milan, Tohir was anxiously asking a middle-aged man in his 40s sitting opposite him.
His name is Jason Levine, a New Yorker, forty years old, a graduate of the University of Michigan Law School and a graduate student in social policy.
Before Renqian, he was the CEO of the American nBa Memphis Grizzlies. A year ago, the reason why the Grizzlies owner Robert Perla was able to buy the Grizzlies from his predecessor Michael Heisley was that he pierced the needle.
Jason Levine’s identity and position are complex, and his experience is quite legendary.
He used to be a lawyer for several years, a professor of law school, and a campaign consultant and strategic analyst for many American political stars. Later, he served as an assistant to the general manager of the nBa Kings and has since entered the sports circle.
And so far, he has successfully operated the acquisition of three nBa teams and is the most successful trader in the American sports world. Among them, he has brought together a nine-member team to jointly acquire the Philadelphia 76ers, and then acquired them. Washington United in Major League Soccer.
The experience of three successful operations has made Jason Levine famous in the American professional sports circle.
It was also while running the Philadelphia 76ers and Washington United that he met Torhill.
A rich second-generation from an Indonesian giant, but always living in the shadow of the glory of his father and brother!
The two can almost be said to hit it off, and they cross each other!
This time, Thorhill decided to buy Inter Milan, Jason Levine was behind the scenes, because he also wanted to pass this deal to successfully make himself into the European professional football, the core of world football.
Everyone can see that international capital is pouring into European professional football with an astonishing momentum. The potential of this one is too great!
Because football is the number one sport in the world, with fans all over the world.
They just didn't expect that they would encounter a Waterloo in their first acquisition war outside of the United States.
No wonder Tohill 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 and convince the latter to put pressure on Pirelli. But if he fails now, wouldn't he have to Become the laughing stock of your family?
When Jason Levine thought about this, Torhill said anxiously: "Jason, or else, you call him, urge him, let him hurry!"
"Don't worry, Eric, don't worry, it should be almost here!" Jason Levine smiled in time.
"Don't worry? How can you relax me?" Tohill was a little anxious. "It's been half a month. Moratti hasn't contacted us anymore. Rumors are flying everywhere, and then it's the American consortium, and then again. Said it was a Middle Eastern consortium, and later said it was a local consortium, I was confused."
Jason Levin shook his head and stood up, "Don't be nervous, man, the most you need to do now is to relax."
With that said, he walked to the window of the room facing the street in a leisurely manner, opened the curtains and looked at it and laughed.
"Here, look, he is coming!"
Torhill immediately jumped up from the sofa and rushed to the window quickly.
I saw a red mountain bike coming from the distance of the street. The man in the bike was a complete set of mountain biker equipment. He was riding very fast, obviously doing the final sprint.
"I wiped it, he thought he was participating in a mountain bike race?" Torhill scolded angrily and funny.
Jason Levine laughed.
My own partner is such a virtue!
A few minutes later, the mountain racer appeared outside their room.
"Come on, Steven!" Jason Levine opened the door for him.
"Yeah!" Steven gasped vigorously. "Damn it, getting here from Milan is really a big challenge!"
Tohill looked at this freak helplessly, he had to ride a bicycle without driving a car, he deserved to be exhausted!
"I said, Steven, quickly talk, what's the situation?"
"The situation is not very good!" Steven took off his racing gear, and even took off his shirt altogether, revealing a strong upper body. The most dazzling thing is the dense chest hair, but people have some answers.
"Is there any water?"
"Here!" Jason Levine obviously knew him well. He took out a large bottle of mineral water in the refrigerator in the living room and threw it over.
This guy took it, and as soon as he unscrewed the bottle cap, he poured his stomach into his stomach.
Not long after, a large bottle of water was poured into his stomach, and he screamed, very enjoyable.
"Hurry up and talk, hurry up!" Tohill urged again anxiously.
Steven glanced at Torhill and sighed, "I received news that Moratti contacted each other three days after you met Moratti for the last time, and the negotiating team of both sides Contact frequently."
"The negotiation on behalf of Inter Milan was the cg law firm in Milan. Lazard Bank was responsible for the financial evaluation. I have checked that the law firm representing the mysterious buyer is from the United Kingdom, but it is through this law firm. The partners in Italy participated in the negotiations, and the financial evaluation was the famous British football investment bank Kesh Harris Investment Bank."
Tohir heard a little bit of tongue, what does this guy eat? Can you even inquire about such a confidential matter?
Jason Levine seems to have been accustomed to this for a long time. "It is not surprising that it is done through a British lawyer and a local Italian lawyer. It is also normal to do it through the Kaish Harris Investment Bank."
"Yes!" Steven nodded and smiled. "The other party is also a powerful character, playing the media and reporters all over Italy, but in the end, no one knows what they are coming from."
"But I have a question!" Jason Levine asked again, "How did he buy the shares in Tronkatie Provira?"
Tronketti Provira is the chairman of Pirelli and the second largest shareholder of Inter Milan. He does not hold many shares, but he has a very close relationship with Moratti. Before that, Tohir had imposes on Tronketti through his family. Under pressure, the latter also said that as long as Tohill takes Moratti’s shares, his shares are also willing to sell to Tohill.
It is worth mentioning that one is for tires and the other is for petrochemicals. Therefore, in the past few years, the business relationship between Tronketti and the Moratti family has been very close. In the past, Moratti acquired Inter Milan, especially Longketti contributed a lot, so in the past few years, Pirelli has been a sponsor of Inter Milan.
"Good question!" Steven chuckled. "In recent years, Pirelli's development has not been as expected. Although it will not lose money, Pirelli is also worried that its market share will be eroded as its competitors are getting stronger and stronger. They have always wanted to develop the Asian market, so they are happy to sponsor Inter Milan, which is quite well-known in Asia."
Having said that, Steven took another look at Torhill, "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, which is in line with their strategy."
Jason Levine and Torhill looked at each other, and both nodded together.
Steven’s analysis is reasonable.
"I have learned that there are two reasons why Tronketti is willing to sell the shares in his hand. One is that the other party's plan to run Inter Milan and develop Asia is very tempting, and even Tronketti agreed. As long as Inter Milan qualify for the European war this year, starting from next season, the team's sponsorship fee will be increased."
Jason Levine and Thorhill were a little surprised at this moment.
With this set of plans, can Tron Katie promise to increase the team’s sponsorship fee?
What is the origin of this guy?
"The second news I received is that Pirelli is about to win the cooperation order from Aston Martin!"
"Aston Martin?" Jason Levine was a little 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 sales have also risen steadily, especially with the launch of the Lagonda sub-brand and the launch of luxury cars. After and crossovers, sales have soared, especially in the Chinese market."
“I’ve seen media reports before. Aston Martin sold more than 10,000 vehicles in China in the first half of 2013. It is estimated that there will be more than 30,000 vehicles worldwide, which is more than 50,000 vehicles throughout the year. Last year, it doubled over the previous year, and in the second half of this year, Aston Martin’s Chinese branch will be officially put into operation, with an annual output of 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 can't keep up. Once the production catches up, the annual sales volume will exceed 100,000 or even higher. It is completely possible. So almost all All tire companies in China attach great importance to cooperation with this top luxury car brand, and Pirelli is no exception."
Jason Levine and Thorhill have also heard about the resurrection of Aston Martin.
Through the operation of the past three years, Aston Martin has not only successfully realized the resurrection, but also launched the sub-brand Lagonda, which broadened the models and market in one fell swoop, and the average 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 exceed 6 billion euros, and according to media reports, Aston Martin’s sales would be as high as one percent. A gross profit margin of 35, which is a gross profit of more than two billion euros.
"Oh my God, it's no wonder that Chinese local tyrant dared to come to Italy to squander money and buy everywhere. It turns out..."
The second generation is also rich. Tohir has long been envious of the whirlwind caused by Yang Huan's visit to Italy not long ago. Now that I think about it, people do have the capital to show off.
For any automobile manufacturer in the world, with such a high gross profit, it is impossible to maintain such a high gross profit if it cannot sell so many cars, and can sell so many cars.
I don't know how the Chinese played it, but he was able to play Aston Martin to this level.
But wait... there is a problem!
When entrusting Hilton, he pointed to Steven suddenly, trying to say something, but couldn't say it, but always felt that something was wrong.
Jason Levine was also shocked, and he obviously wanted to understand.
"Yes, I absolutely have reason to suspect that it is Yang Huan who acquired Inter Milan!"
Although they were mentally prepared, Torhill and Jason Levine were still shocked.
They never thought ~lightnovelpub.net~ the person who secretly had a trick with them, turned out to be the legendary Yang Huan!
What made them even more unexpected was that the Chinese was really well-deserved, quietly, playing with everyone in the applause, and neatly bringing Inter Milan into the pocket. This is what makes people unconvinced. Will not work!
But Tohill is also a rich second-generation, arrogant.
When he first heard Yang Huan's name, he was somewhat psychologically shadowed, after all, his name was so scary.
But after another thought, I had already been glaring at Inter Milan, secretly sending off for so long, but when I was about to enter the bridal chamber, the bridegroom officer was snatched away.
Are you hateful?
Therefore, the rich second generation of Indonesia snorted fiercely.
"Yang Huan? Snatch me? I will call the newspaper to expose you now. I want the whole world to know about this, and then it will be up to you to clean up!"
