American Ranch

Chapter 645 The Beginning of the Talks
In the previous video conference, Miles had already described in detail his meeting with the old Tyron.

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

In addition, the acquisition team also collected a lot of information, including the Timberwolves' industry chain operation status, team performance and status, development potential and other information, and even the interests and hobbies of the old Tyronn were clearly discovered!
However, the quotation of 5.5 million US dollars given based on this did not satisfy the old Tyronn, and some individuals or consortiums who quickly made fortunes from IT and venture capital also had great interest in the Timberwolves. As a result, competition was inevitable !

Although everyone didn't want to give a high price to be taken advantage of, the price offered by Qin Yi's side was really not an advantage.

Balls, Wine Tastings, Cigar Nights, Golf Hours
Miles even lost a bottle of top-notch fruit wine in space. You know, this was a sharp weapon Qin Yi specially provided him to use to build relationships. , I actually shed tears in my heart.
Damn it, he wanted to keep it for himself to drink, this is the best wine Qin Yi can produce so far, and he hasn't drunk it a few times!

It's a pity that even after paying such a "high" price, Miles, who has been an agent all his life, still couldn't let the old Tyron let go-although from the performance point of view, the other party really wanted to make him a friend, but this has What's the use?
Fuck, what I want is for you to agree to my takeover proposal!

It's a pity that business is business. No matter how eloquent Ren Miles is, he can't change the fact that the quotation is not dominant.

After the negotiation failed again, he had no choice but to apply to Qin Yi for an increase in the price, but when he was leaving, the old Tai Lun called him again, and held a meeting 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.

As shrewd as Miles, the moment he left him alone for a meeting, he realized that things might have turned around, so he was not in a hurry, and was bothered pouring alcohol into his stomach.

Oh my God, this is morning light. Although it is the most common one, if you can drink it for free, Miles would rather God turn him into a wine barrel!
Treating guests with morning light or flowing fire is also the most common practice among rich people over the past year. It is not only a courtesy, but also a reflection of face and identity.

Of course, the grades are generally ordinary editions, and those limited editions and collector's editions that can only be obtained through auctions, the rich still choose to keep them for themselves!
While the old fox was in a daze, Miles elegantly and quickly wiped out the Chenxi, which was only half a bottle left, consciously taking advantage of it, and couldn't help but feel happy.

But when he thought of the bottle of top-quality fruit wine before, he couldn't help cursing in his heart: old bug who should go to hell, a greedy and stubborn old idiot, for you to drink such good fruit wine, it is simply the greatest insult to God!

He consciously lost more money to Miles, and gave himself half a cup again, as if trying to minimize the loss.
Afterwards, the old Tai Lun, who was silent for a long time, finally expressed his exact thoughts on the acquisition: he agreed to an offer of 5.5 million US dollars, but there was an additional condition, and he had to discuss it with Qin Yi in person!

Miles asked about additional conditions, but the old man refused to say anything, and insisted on telling Qin Yi face to face. In desperation, Miles had no choice but to report the development of the situation to Qin Yi, which also triggered Qin Yi's Minnesota state trip.

Back to the present, at around [-]:[-] in the evening, Qin Yi and others drove to the Target Center arena, and the old Tai Lun who received the news was already waiting in the arena.

This is the Timberwolves' home arena, home games, training games, and weekday training are all held here, and the Timberwolves will have a home game at [-] o'clock tonight, so the talks between the two sides will be arranged in the arena.

Although all the team information is in his hands, it is a business after all. Before making a transaction, Qin Yi has to look at the "goods" first!
As the three of Qin Yi walked into the arena side by side, the people who were sitting in the front row of the audience watching the team's training immediately greeted them.

The one who walked in the front was a thin old man. Qin Yi had done a lot of preparatory work before, and knew that this old man was the old Tai Lun who had owned the Timberwolves for more than ten years.

The old Tailun's face is covered with wrinkles, but the most impressive thing is the pair of light blue eyes. Of course, these are not related to the words "beautiful" or "beautiful", but rather weird, like having cataracts. eye disease.

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

He was dressed in a neat black suit, and he stood in a polite manner, like an old gentleman. Standing with the three casually dressed Qin Yi, it seemed a bit out of tune, but in terms of momentum, Qin Yi and Kroenke were the same. Not weak at all, even more calm and calm.

In any case, when we met for the first time officially, Myers still planned to introduce Qin Yi, but before he could speak, Kroenke said first: "I just want to know if we have a chance to get good wine hospitality?"

Although he didn't appear very eager, at least he had a smile on his face. This is already a very good attitude for Kroenke, who is used to a straight face and a serious temper!
"Of course, I prepared a bottle of Chenxi Collector's Edition, and you guys have made a lot of money! You know, this is the first batch of Chenxi to be put on the market for auction. I haven't been willing to drink it for more than half a year. Well, anyway, you really made money. arrive!"

The old Tai Lun laughed and stepped forward, responding to Kroenke, but looking at Qin Yi: "Hello, Mr. Qin, we finally meet!"

Qin Yi smiled lightly and shook hands with him.

While saying hello, while looking towards the field, the players are practicing pitching, some are more focused, and some are looking this way.

The news that the team is about to change hands, they all know that it is impossible to have no doubts about the upcoming changes, but they don't know if it will affect their competitive state, otherwise the result of tonight's game may be very difficult. 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 he can ask them if he has any questions.

After a short greeting, the skinny old man turned to shake hands with Kroenke: "How are you doing recently, old friend? You look very strong physically, do you want to do something with me? Come on, buddy, I Promise not to hit you on the nose, God can testify!"

The old guy in his sixties and seventies was still jumping around with his fists clenched, as if he was boxing, and kept punching Kroenke. The serious old man in a suit suddenly became funny.

Qin Yi and Miles looked at each other and smiled.

On the contrary, Heath and Tom's smiles are a bit forced. The team will soon change hands. Within six months at the latest, the team's top management will undergo another major change. At that time, their fate will become a problem.

Especially Tom, Qin Yi would kick him away if he was dissatisfied, so it was inevitable that he would have some concerns.

"Go get the drinks! Don't you think we should be served first, man?"

Kroenke still had that dead face, he pushed the old Tai Lun's fist away, signaled to Qin Yi, and the two walked towards the front row.

"Okay, okay, you're just thinking about my bottle of wine! But I'm doing it for Mr. Qin's sake, otherwise you won't be able to drink it."

The old Tyron babbled, as if Kroenke had taken advantage of the huge advantage, but muttered a few times, and waved to his son readily: "Heath, go and get the bottle from the wine cabinet in my office."

"Haha, this is really interesting. It was originally a good wine brewed by Mr. Qin, but today it was used to entertain Mr. Qin, but this is the best wine. Can't we use other wines to deal with it? God, I am not Tai Lun People like that!"
