"Welcome to the House of Milan!"

At the gate of the office building at Piazza Cino in Milan’s Altello district, Milan’s vice-chairman Barbara Berlusconi in a flaming red dress, accompanied by his bald manager Galliani, faces the person who just got out of the car. The guests stretched out their hands.

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

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

"Hello, Barbara!" Tohill saw the well-dressed Barbara, his eyes straightened a bit.

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

Strictly speaking, it is a four-story building, because only half of the fifth floor can be used, and only a small part of the sixth floor can be used.

This is an irregular inverted trapezoid building with a **** of nearly 30 degrees on the roof. There are five models of athletes running and sprinting on the roof. It has a strong sportsmanship.

The exterior wall as a whole is the same as Building A and Building B in Keno Square. They are all gray, but with the sharp corners of the top floor as the center, a red and black circular pattern different from the color is drawn. It is a kind of decoration, but it is still considered. Not bad.

"A few, please in there!" Barbara is obviously full of confidence in the team's new headquarters.

Such a headquarters, even if it is placed in the entire European football scene, it is second to none.

After all, most of the team’s headquarters are on their home courts. Only some Serie A teams do not own the home court, so they will build another headquarters outside the stadium.

Inter Milan’s headquarters is at Via Dulini 24, while Milan’s old headquarters is at Via Turati 3.

Although it has just moved here, the new headquarters has been carefully decorated.

The ground floor is a fan shop, bar, and restaurant. In addition, the basement is also fully utilized. It is arranged as the team’s 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 put into use because of space.

New guests are here, so naturally you have to take them to the museum and the trophy showroom for a good tour, and take a look at the team’s restaurant and fan shop.

During the period, Torhill also bought a few souvenirs, saying that he was going back to give to his children.

"It's a pretty good office place!"

When he walked into the bright conference room on the fourth floor, Tohir was deeply embarrassed.

He had also been to No. 24, Via Dulini, and it was really shabby compared to here.

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

However, Steven, who had not spoken all the time, suddenly said without beginning and ending, "If I remember correctly, Piazza Quino should be the work of the famous Italian designer Pietro Valle, from 1998. The planning began, and it has not been completed until now, including a fan-shaped square and three office buildings."

Both Torhill and Jason Levine were surprised by Steven's words. Why did he suddenly show off his knowledge?

Did this cyclist fall in love with Barbara?

No way?

Doesn't he like to ride a bicycle? Why do you like women?

But Jason Levine soon realized the problem, and immediately opened the document that the Milan staff had just handed over, which included the building as Milan’s fixed assets.

But obviously, this is leased by Milan!

Even if they keep claiming to the outside world, this is the asset of their club!

No wonder that at the intersection just now, I saw that the decoration of the two buildings outside is almost identical to this one, but one of them has been leased to South Korea's LG Electronics as the Italian headquarters. It turned out to be the same!

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

Is this a reasonable explanation?

Obviously not, but if you want to continue talking, you can't hold onto this point!

"OK!" Torhill also understood, "Then we'll have a good talk."

Barbara nodded at Torhill and smiled, "Then let's start!"

Everyone found their place and sat down. The bald manager Galliani didn't say a word from start to finish, but with a very hypocritical, very old fox smile.

"We have both contacted 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, we can hardly predict how intense the reaction of the fans will be!"

Speaking of this, Barbara smiled slightly, "I believe you have also seen it. Not long ago, Inter Milan was just acquired by investors from China. The fans immediately triggered a big riot and almost became out of control, and the same Things, we don’t want to appear in Milan, it will damage our brand value!"

Jason Levine and Steven listened to them, and they all leaned back and laughed.

Can this be said so grandly?

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

Tohill's words caused Barbara, who was sitting across from him, to shook her head slightly, apparently Milan couldn't agree.

"Of course, if you ask for only 49% of the shares to be sold, then we can totally agree, but we have a requirement."

"What's the requirement?" Barbara suddenly became interested.

Berlusconi introduced foreign capital, originally intending to use his money to run Milan, how could he let go of his controlling rights?

Therefore, in this negotiated transaction, as long as holding is not involved, everything else can be negotiated.

"We hope that you can divide the acquired funds into three parts in the same way as Inter Milan. One part is used to repay the team's debts, and the other part is used to strengthen the team's signings and strive to appear in the Champions League stably. Used to build a new stadium."

This year, all football investors are well aware that the Champions League and the new stadium are the biggest pieces of fat.

"We hope that through Mr. Berlusconi, we can win a piece of land in the city of Milan. In addition to building a new stadium, it also includes other supporting facilities. We will be responsible for the purchase and construction of the land. 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 in a week. Every game day, a series of supporting commercial facilities such as shopping centers, hotels, and restaurants will bring huge Of income.

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

And he recently took this set of bargaining chips and successfully persuaded American real estate tycoon Steven Rose to agree to buy a stake in his acquisition team, who is also very interested in bargain-hunting Italian real estate projects.

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

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

Not only can it not be obtained, but maybe another sum of money will be invested to operate the new stadium.

Otherwise, they will dilute the shares and lose the controlling rights.

But this is not the point. The real point is, where is the land in Milan?

"Mr. Thorhill, I still need to discuss your latest proposal with my team, but I think it would be very difficult if the land you requested must be in the city of Milan!"

"Why?" Torhill was surprised.

"Because Milan has no extra land at all."

"That piece of land diagonally across from the former Expo site..."

Barbara suddenly understood that these guys were looking at the big piece of fat.

The courage is quite fat, even Yang Huan dared to grab the meat in his mouth!

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

Torhill, Jason Levine and others all showed a look of concern.

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

"What?" Jason Levine couldn't sit still.

"Isn't it necessary to assess qualifications and publicize it, isn't it so fast?"

Barbara smiled inwardly, and his father was right. This Jason Levine was the protagonist of the acquisition team.

"Yes, it should be the case, Mr. Levin, but you should understand that this plan will never keep up with the changes. Bidding in advance is the unanimous agreement of 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, I wanted to take advantage of Berlusconi's connections and relationships in Italy to grab the land from Yang Huan. Who knows, that guy could do it so quickly, and it was done in advance!

"According to the explanation of the chairman of the board of directors Bennettini, the other party plans to complete the construction and start operations before the Milan Expo two years later!"

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

Barbara was not funny at all, "No, Mr. Levine, it is definitely possible!"

When the three big men on the opposite side looked over, she smiled, "Because they contracted the project to a Chinese construction company!"

At this moment, everyone present was silent.

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

Jason Levine was so depressed in his heart, but he found it funny.

It's not that Yang Huan is funny, but that group of them are funny.

Who is Yang Huan?

I just sold 10% of the company's shares to Apple and made 20 billion U.S. dollars. There was too much money to spend.

No, the headlines of all the Italian newspapers a few days ago were Inter Milan, one after another, the stars were brought in without blinking.

And now?

In less than two years, to build such a huge commercial city, only Yang Huan could be so self-willed!

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

It makes people jealous to think about it!

Fortunately, I wanted to compete with others for turf~www.readwn.com~ What happened?

All the embarrassment went to grandma's house!

As long as he thinks about this, Jason Levine seems very distracted and completely uninterested.

Because from start to finish, they don't think Milan is worth one billion euros.

At such an outrageous price, whoever buys it is a trick!

However, if you don't buy it, will the investment team that has been painstakingly pulled over and formed will fall apart?

Especially Stephen Rose, who promised a lot of money himself, shouldn't it?

At the thought of this level, Jason Levine's heart warmed again.

Forget it, just go wrong!
