Chapter 663 of the main text: The beginning of the talks

Next chapter

In a previous video conference, Miles had already recounted his meeting with Tylen Sr. in detail.

For the acquisition, Myers, who acted as an agent, also hired an agent who specializes in sports industry transactions as an assistant.

In addition, the acquisition team also collected a lot of information, including the operation status of the Timberwolves' industrial chain, team results and status, development potential and other information, and even the interests and hobbies of the old Tarlen were clearly understood!

But the $550 million offer given on this basis did not satisfy the old Tylen, and some individuals or consortiums that made a fortune quickly due to IT and venture capital also have great interest in the Timberwolves, so competition is inevitable!

Although everyone didn't want to give a high price, Qin Yi's offer was really not advantageous.

Proms, wine tastings, cigar nights, golf hours

Miles even lost a bottle of top-notch space fruit wine, you know, this is a weapon that Qin Yi specially provided him to use to pull the relationship, when a limited number of people on both sides were drinking, Miles, who was smiling elegantly, actually shed tears in his heart

Damn, he wanted to keep it for himself, this was the best wine Qin Yi could come up with so far, he hadn't drunk it a few times!

It's a pity that even if he paid such a "high" price, Miles, who has been an agent all his life, still couldn't let old Taryn loosen his mouth Although judging from the table, the other party really wants to make him a friend, but what's the use?

UK, what I want is for you to agree to my acquisition proposal!

It's a pity that business is business, and no matter how clever Miles is, he can't change the fact that the offer is not advantageous.

After another fruitless negotiation, he felt helpless, and felt that he had no choice but to apply to Qin Yi to increase the offer, but when he left, Old Tylen called him again, and held a meeting with only two people in the conference room.

It was in the conference room. Silent old Taryn was actually a little hesitant.

As shrewd as Miles, the moment he was left to meet alone, he realized that things might have taken a turn for the better, so he was not in a hurry, and poured wine into his stomach on the ground.

God, it's dawn wow, even though it's the most ordinary one, but if you can drink it for free, Miles would rather God turn him into a wine barrel!

Entertaining guests with morning light or flowing fire has also been more than a year. The most common practice of the rich is not only etiquette, but also the embodiment of face and identity.

Of course, the grades are generally ordinary editions, and those limited editions and collector's editions that need to be auctioned to get their hands on, the rich still choose to keep them for themselves!

And while the old fox was in a daze, Miles elegantly and quickly eliminated the morning light, which was only half a bottle left, and consciously took advantage, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart.

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

I felt that I had lost a lot of money to Miles. I gave myself half a cup again, as if to minimize the loss

After that, the elder Tyron, who had been silent for a while, finally said his exact idea about the acquisition: agreeing to the offer of $550 million. But there is an additional condition, and it must be discussed with Qin Yi in person!

Miles asked for additional conditions, but the old man refused. had to tell Qin Yi in person, and in desperation, Miles could only report the development of the situation to Qin Yi, which also triggered Qin Yi's trip to Minnesota.

Time back to the present, at about six o'clock in the evening, Qin Yi and others drove to the target center arena, and the old Tylen who received the news was also waiting in the stadium.

This is the home arena of the Timberwolves, home games, training games and weekday training are all held here, and the Timberwolves have a home game at nine o'clock tonight, so the talks between the two sides are also arranged in the arena.

Although the team information is in his hands, after all, it is a transaction, and before trading, Qin Yi always has to look at the "goods" first!

As Qin Yi and the three of them walked into the stadium side by side, several people who were originally sitting in the front row of the audience to watch the team's training immediately greeted them.

Walking in the front was a thin old man, Qin Yi had done a lot of preparation before, and knew that this old man was Old Tylen, who had owned the Timberwolves for more than ten years.

Old Tylen's face was full of wrinkles, but the most impressive thing was the light blue eyes, of course, this did not match words such as beautiful and good-looking, but was a little weird, like an eye disease such as cataracts.

Another impressive point is that the prominent ears match the characteristic face shape, this old man actually has a trace of the charm of the goblin in the movie, which looks quite novel.

Dressed in a straight black suit, he stood politely, like an old gentleman, standing with the casually dressed Qin Yi and the three, it seemed a little out of place, but in terms of momentum, Qin Yi and Kroenke were not weak, and even more calm.

In any case, the first official meeting, Miles still planned to introduce Qin Yi, but before he could speak, Kroenke spoke first: "I just want to know, do we have a chance to get a good wine reception?" ”

Although he didn't look eager, at least he had a smile on his face, which was already a very good attitude for Kroenke, who was used to keeping a straight face and having a strict temperament!

"Of course, I've prepared a bottle of Collector's Edition Dawn, and you've made a lot of money! You know, this is the first batch of morning light to be auctioned, and I haven't been willing to drink it for more than half a year, okay, anyway, you really earned it! ”

Old Taryn stepped forward with a laugh, responding to Kroenke in his mouth, but his eyes looked at Qin Yi: "Hello, Mr. Qin, we have finally met!" ”

Qin Yi chuckled and shook his hand.

As they said hello and looked out over the court, the players were practicing their pitching, some more focused, others looking this way.

The news that the team is about to change hands, they also 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 ugly.

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

These people are all in charge of the Timberwolves, and the elder Tyronn said that he can ask them any questions.

After a little greeting, the thin old man turned to shake Kroenke's hand: "How are you doing, old friend?" Your body looks pretty strong, do you want to do a few tricks with me? Come on, man, I promise not to hit you in the nose, God can testify! ”

The old guy in his sixties and seventies, still jumping around with his fists clenched, as if he was boxing, and constantly making punches at Kroenke, the old man in the suit, who was originally strict, suddenly became funny and funny.

Qin Yi and Miles looked at each other and smiled.

However, Heath and Tom's smiles were a little reluctant, the team immediately changed hands, and within half a year at the latest, there will be another big change in the team's top management, and then their stay will be a problem.

Especially Tom, Qin Yi will kick him away if he is not satisfied, so it is inevitable that he will have some worries.

"Grab the wine! Man, don't you think you should treat us first? ”

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

"Alright, well, you're thinking about my bottle! But for Mr. Qin's sake, otherwise you wouldn't be able to drink it."

Old Taryn chattered, as if Kroenke had taken advantage of it, but he muttered twice, and waved his hand to his son happily: "Heath, go and bring the bottle of treasure from my office wine cabinet." ”

"Haha, this is really interesting, it was originally a good wine brewed by Mr. Qin, but today it was brought out to entertain Mr. Qin, but this is the best wine, you can't use other wine to deal with it? God, I'm not like that, Tyron! (To be continued.) )
