“Welcome to Casa Milano!”

At the gate of Office Building C, Plaza Gino, Milan, Milan Vice President Barbara Berlusconi in a fiery red dress, accompanied by the bald manager Galliani, walked towards the The guests stretched out their jade hands.

This Audi is a special car specially used by Milan to receive noble guests.

And this time, the guests it picks up are the acquirer from the United States, Thorhill and the team behind him!

"Hello, Barbara!" Tohir saw the well-dressed Barbara, his eyes were a little straight.

Jason Levine and Steven also got out of the car one after another, but more people looked up at the six-story building with a glass curtain wall.

Strictly speaking, it is four floors, because only half of the fifth floor is usable, and only a small part of the sixth floor is usable.

This is an irregular inverted trapezoidal building with a roof slope of nearly 30 degrees. There are models of five athletes running and sprinting on it, showing a spirit of striving sports.

The overall outer wall is the same as Building A and Building B in Jinuo Square, all gray, but with the sharp corner of the top floor as the center, a red and black circular pattern of different colors is drawn. It is a kind of decoration, but it is not bad. good.

"Several, please!" Barbara was obviously full of confidence in the team's new headquarters.

Such a headquarters, even in the entire European football world, is second to none.

After all, the headquarters of most teams are placed in their own home courts. Only some Serie A teams will build another headquarters outside the stadium because they do not have the ownership of their home courts.

The headquarters of Inter Milan is at No. 24, Via Durini, while the old headquarters of Milan is at No. 3, Via Turati.

Although they have just moved here, this new headquarters has been meticulously decorated.

The ground floor is a fan shop, bar, restaurant, and the basement is also fully utilized as a team museum and trophy showroom. The second to fourth floors are office floors. The higher the level, the higher the level.

So, Barbara, Berlusconi, Galliani and Braida are all on the fourth floor.

The fifth and sixth floors are not in use due to space constraints.

A new guest has arrived,

Naturally, according to the usual practice, take them to the museum and trophy showroom for a good visit, and take a look at the team's restaurant and fan shop by the way.

During the period, Thohir also bought a few souvenirs, saying that he would go back and give them to his children.

"It's a really nice office space!"

Walking into the spacious meeting room on the fourth floor, Tohir felt extremely sad.

He had also been to No. 24, Rue Durini, which was really shabby compared to this place.

Of course, some people may say that there is a lot of flavor there, but it doesn't keep up with the times at all, does it?

However, Steven, who hadn't opened his mouth all this time, suddenly said without beginning and end, "If I remember correctly, Kino Square should be the work of the famous Italian designer Pietro Valle. Started planning, which has not been completed until now, including a fan-shaped square and three office buildings."

Both Thorhill and Jason Levine felt very strange about Steven's words. Why did he suddenly show off his knowledge?

Could it be that this cyclist has taken a fancy to Barbara?

No way?

Doesn't he like cycling? How did you fall in love with a woman?

But Jason Levine quickly realized the problem, and immediately opened the document just handed over by the Milan staff, which included this building as Milan's fixed assets.

But obviously, it was rented by Milan!

Even if they keep claiming that this is the asset of their club!

No wonder I turned into the intersection just now and saw that the decoration of the two buildings outside is almost exactly the same as this one, but one of them has been leased to South Korea's LG Electronics as its Italian headquarters, so that's what happened!

Barbara was also a little embarrassed, but she reacted quickly and immediately laughed, "We have signed a long-term lease contract with Keno Plaza, and you have also seen that the value of the surrounding land has been getting higher and higher recently, and the rent is also low. Therefore, we believe that the prospect of this asset is also very good.”

Is this a reasonable explanation?

Obviously not, but if you want to continue the conversation, you can't hang on to it!

"Okay!" Tohir also understood, "Then let's have a good talk."

Barbara nodded and smiled at Thorhir, "Then let's get started!"

Everyone found their own seats and sat down. The bald manager Galliani didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but had a very hypocritical, very old fox smile.

"Both of us have been in contact with each other before, and our opinions are very clear. We can only sell 49% of the shares at most, no more, because we have the responsibility to ensure that Milan is still controlled by the Italians. Otherwise, it is difficult for us to predict how intense the fans' reaction will be!"

Speaking of this, Barbara smiled slightly, "I believe you have also seen that not long ago, Inter Milan was acquired by investors from China, and the fans immediately caused a big riot, which almost became uncontrollable, and the same Things, we don't want to happen to Milan, it will damage our brand value!"

When Jason Levine and Steven heard this, they immediately leaned back and smiled.

How could this be said in such a high-sounding manner?

"Barbara, I think you are quite clear about our sincerity. One billion euros is completely in line with your and the outside world's valuation of Milan. We also have enough financial resources to complete this acquisition."

Barbara, who was sitting across from him, shook her head slightly at Tohir's words. Obviously, it was impossible for Milan to agree.

"Of course, if you ask to sell only 49% of the shares, then we can also agree, but we have one request."

"What request?" Barbara suddenly became interested.

Berlusconi introduced foreign capital and originally planned to use Kaizi's money to run Milan. How could he let go of the controlling stake?

Therefore, in this negotiating transaction, as long as it does not involve holding, everything else can be discussed.

"We hope that you can divide the acquisition funds into three parts according to Inter Milan's method, one part is used to repay the team's debts, the other part is used to strengthen the team's signings, and strive to appear in the Champions League steadily, and the other part to build new stadiums."

These days, all football investors are very clear that the Champions League and the new stadium are the biggest piece of fat.

“We hope to obtain a piece of land in downtown Milan through Mr. Berlusconi. In addition to building a new stadium, it also includes other supporting facilities. We will be responsible for buying the land and building it. After completion, the stadium will belong to the club. Other supporting facilities belong to us!"

This is also a big piece of fat!

Think about it, a new stadium can accommodate about 50,000 people. On average, there can be about one game a week, and every match day, a series of supporting commercial facilities such as shopping centers, hotels, restaurants, etc. will bring huge income.

Jason Levine, who has experience in nfl and nba operations, knows this better than anyone else.

Moreover, he recently also used this set of bargaining chips to successfully persuade the American real estate tycoon Steven Ross to agree to become a shareholder of his acquisition team. The latter is also very interested in buying real estate projects in Italy.

Barbara sat there, frowning slightly, but she was thinking silently in her heart.

According to the acquisition strategy of Thohir and others, the Berlusconi family can hardly get even a penny.

Not only can't get it, maybe they may have to invest another sum of money to operate the new stadium.

Otherwise, they will lose their controlling interest when they dilute their shares.

But this is not the point. The real point is, where does the land in Milan come from now?

"Mr. Tohir, regarding your latest proposal, I still need to discuss it with my team, but I think it will be very difficult if the land you are requesting must be in downtown Milan!"

"Why?" Tohir was a little surprised.

"Because there is no extra land in Milan City."

"That piece of land diagonally opposite the old site of the World Expo..."

Barbara immediately understood that these guys were after that big piece of fat.

He is so courageous that he even dares to grab the meat in Yang Huan's mouth!

<> "You probably didn't pay attention to yesterday's newspaper news."

Thorhill, Jason Levine and others all showed expressions of concern.

"The Milan International Fair Foundation announced yesterday, because only one company from China participated in the bidding, so that piece of land has already been taken by the other party, so I can only say, you are late!"

"What?" Jason Levine couldn't sit still for a while.

"Didn't it mean that there is still an assessment of qualifications and an announcement, isn't it so fast?"

Barbara smiled secretly, her father was right, Jason Levine was the protagonist of the acquisition team.

"Yes, that should have been the case, Mr. Levine, but you should understand that this plan will never catch up with the changes. Bidding in advance is unanimously agreed by all members of the General Council of the Milan International Fair Foundation."

"Why?" Steven was also frustrated.

They managed to convince investors that they came for that piece of land.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of Berlusconi's contacts and connections in Italy to snatch the land from Yang Huan, but who knew that guy would do it so quickly and finish it in advance!

"According to the explanation of the chairman of the council, Benettini, the other party plans to complete the construction and start operations before the Milan World Expo in two years' time!"

"What?" Jason Levine almost didn't laugh out loud, "How is this possible?"

Barbara didn't find it funny at all, "No, Mr. Levin, it's absolutely possible!"

She didn't smile until the three big men on the opposite side looked over, "Because they contracted the project to a construction company from China!"

This time, everyone present was silent.

If you want to say that the infrastructure industry can repeatedly create miracles, it must be an infrastructure company from China.

Jason Levine was extremely depressed, but he found it funny.

It's not that Yang Huan is funny, it's that they are funny.

Who is Yang Huan?

Just sold 10% of the company's shares to Apple, and made 20 billion US dollars, so much money that there is no place to spend it.

No, the headlines of all the big and small Italian newspapers a few days ago were Inter Milan, the introduction of one star after another, without blinking an eye.

And now?

In less than two years, to build such a huge commercial city, only Yang Huan can be so willful!

But just think about it, building such a huge commercial city in such a prime location, how amazing the future potential value will be?

Just thinking about it makes people jealous!

Fortunately, I still wanted to grab the territory with others, but what happened?

The embarrassment was thrown to grandma's house!

As long as he thought of this, Jason Levine seemed very uninterested and completely uninterested.

Because from the beginning to the end, they didn't feel that Milan was worth one billion euros.

With such an outrageous price, whoever buys it will be the winner!

However, if you don't buy it, will the investment team that has been worked so hard to pull over and build up be disintegrated?

Especially Stephen Ross, he personally promised a lot of money, don't you want it?

Thinking of this level, Jason Levine's heart warmed up again.

Forget it, just make a mistake!
