Chapter 925 1025. Borrowing Chickens to Lay Eggs

"Blue Mountain coffee comes from the Blue Mountain in Jamaica. The mountain has fertile volcanic soil, and the surrounding original ecological environment is well maintained, so the air is fresh and pollution-free. It is the world's top coffee bean planting area."

Nie Wei said with a smile while brewing coffee skillfully. Of course, this is not what he wants to popularize the knowledge of these coffee beans for Jenny. In fact, Nie Wei does not need to popularize this at all. Jenny may not be a coffee expert, but she must know this superficial knowledge.

The reason why Nie Wei said this is actually more like a kind of interest, just like when Chinese people make tea and meet friends, they always can't help but introduce the knowledge of water and tea leaves for making tea.

Jenny looked at Nie Wei's elegant and skillful movements of making coffee, and a trace of obsession flashed in her eyes.

She has seen a lot of coffee brewing. After all, this is the drink she drinks most often at work, and her secretary assistant is a good coffee brewer, but Nie Wei in front of her is different. He makes coffee more like making a work of art, focused and elegant, and every movement seems to be full of a deep meaning.

If she knew idioms, she would definitely use "unclear but impressive" to describe her mood at the moment.

Of course, this is Nie Wei making coffee. If her secretary dared to take nearly twenty minutes to make coffee like Nie Wei, she would definitely get angry. But it was different for Nie Wei. Sitting with this super charming man, she was even willing to accompany him to slow down the pace of work and enjoy this exquisite life.

Seeing Jenny looking at her like a little fan, Nie Wei handed her a cup of coffee that had been brewed first.

"How about a taste? I haven't made coffee by myself for a long time, so I may be a little unfamiliar."

"How could it be? The aroma of this coffee alone has already made me very tempted."

After Jenny finished speaking, she took a sip of coffee. The rich aroma of the top-grade Blue Mountain coffee beans filled her entire mouth, which immediately brightened her eyes.

Just for the taste of this coffee, Jenny felt that these twenty minutes were really worth waiting for, and it was worth it.

Nie Wei also poured himself a cup of coffee at this time, without adding milk or sugar, and took a sip directly, tasting the unique sour taste of the mellow and rich Blue Mountain coffee.

When he got the coffee beans, just by looking at the appearance and smelling the aroma, Nie Wei knew that these were top-grade Blue Mountain coffee beans, and now he was even more certain when he drank it.

However, after just taking a sip, Nie Wei put down the cup. Compared with the taste of coffee, he actually prefers Chinese tea.

"You are really a charming man. No wonder NICE magazine selected you as the fourth most charming man in the world this year."

"Oh? Fourth place? So my ranking has dropped this year?" Nie Wei couldn't help but smiled and asked when he heard Jenny's "compliment".

Nie Wei knew about this magazine that specialized in ranking handsome men and beautiful women. He had paid attention to it in the past. His ranking was basically in the top three. After all, he was a very charming man in his twenties and had a family fortune of tens of billions. The most important thing was that Nie Wei was still a bachelor at that time. This was a glittering super treasure for those unmarried or even married women.

"Who asked you to get married?" As expected, Jenny's reason for Nie Wei's decline in ranking was the same as what Nie Wei thought.

However, Nie Wei didn't care about these. This term had no meaning to him. Nie Wei was not a star in the pure sense. He needed to live by popularity. These rankings that stars often paid attention to were boring to Nie Wei.

After chatting for a while, Jenny quickly mentioned the main topic of today's meeting.

"Mr. Nie, you know that our Buss family owns 66% of the Lakers' shares. My father's health has not been good recently, so he intends to entrust these shares to our children, but my brothers and sisters have no interest in the team, and I have been managing the team's operations over the years."

"But for some reason, my brothers and sisters actually persuaded my father to sell the Lakers' shares. This news is like a landslide to me."

Speaking of this, Jenny's eyes moistened at the right time, and then she looked at Nie Wei with a pitiful look, complaining: "I also advised my father, but he didn't seem to care about my thoughts, but without the Buss family, would the Lakers still be the Lakers that you and I have always liked? To be honest, I don't feel comfortable handing over this purple and gold dynasty to anyone."

"So what?" Nie Wei asked calmly.

"So I hope to get your help, Mr. Nie, please help me, please..." When Jenny said the last "please", tears flowed down. Nie Wei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and praised this woman's good acting skills.

At this time, Jenny didn't look like she would get fat in a few years. She was a beautiful woman. With her tearful look, she could really arouse a man's desire to protect her.

But Nie Wei was very calm in his heart. No matter how miserable Jenny behaved, it had nothing to do with him. He was more concerned about what benefits he could get from this transaction.

"Tell me about your plan, Miss Jenny." Nie Wei asked with a smile.

When Jenny heard Nie Wei's words, she quickly put away her tears and told him all her plans. It was not that she believed in Nie Wei, but that she could not do it without Nie Wei's perfect cooperation from beginning to end.

"Since my father and brother both want to sell the Lakers' shares, it doesn't matter who I sell them to. I will get their price from them and then introduce you to negotiate with them."

"I believe that with your financial resources, they will sell the shares to you without hesitation."

"And then you sell these shares to me, and I am willing to buy these shares at a price 10% higher than your purchase price."

"Of course, I may not have that much money now." Jenny said this with an embarrassed expression, then looked at Nie Wei and suggested: "So I may not have that much money for the time being, but I promise to pay you back within five years. If it exceeds this period, I am willing to pay more interest. It must be much higher than the bank interest rate."

Nie Wei couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and was angered by Jenny's "naive" proposal.

"Miss Jenny, can I understand that you want to use my money to buy a team for you, and then use the money I bought from the team to pay me back?"

"How did you come up with such a "wonderful" plan?" Nie Wei asked with a smile.

Jenny is not stupid. She can tell that Nie Wei's laughter is mostly mocking, but she doesn't feel embarrassed at all, nor does she show weakness just now. Instead, she said decisively: "15%, I am willing to increase the price by 15% to buy your shares. If I can't pay you back within five years, I can increase the price by 1% every year. I can write this into the contract."

Hearing Jenny's answer, Nie Wei really looked at this whimsical woman differently.

Although Jenny's proposal is still stupid in Nie Wei's opinion, it is undeniable that this woman is very courageous.

You should know that the total value of the Lakers is at least 3 billion US dollars, and 66%, the value is close to 2 billion US dollars.

Fifteen percent on this basis means that if Jenny wants to completely recover the shares from Nie Wei, she needs to pay an additional 300 million US dollars.

In addition, if Jenny can't do it within five years, she will have to pay an additional 20 million US dollars every year on this basis. This money is not only for Jenny, but also for the Buss family. There is a lot of pressure.

Of course, from Jenny's promise, Nie Wei could see that she was very anxious.

Obviously, the physical condition of Old Buss should not be optimistic, and it is estimated that it will only take one or two years. This is why Jenny is eager to fight for the ownership of the Lakers, even if she does not hesitate to "invite the wolf into the house".

"Mr. Nie Wei, this is the greatest sincerity I can promise, and I will also take huge risks for this. Do you understand?" Jenny looked at Nie Wei who was still unmoved, and couldn't help saying.

Although she knew that it was stupid to expose her "bottom card" so quickly, she knew that her method was stupid after all, so she wanted to use her "honesty" to exchange for Nie Wei's "sympathy".

Unfortunately, the Chinese man in front of him seemed to have a heart of stone. Although he always looked smiling, when talking about things, he couldn't help but be flawless and could hit the nail on the head. At this time, Jenny felt as if she was seen through by Nie Wei, and the reason for her anxiety was also because she was guilty.

"Ms. Jenny, to be honest, your proposal is still far from impressing me." Nie Wei said calmly after drinking the cold coffee in the cup.

However, Jenny did not feel disappointed, but was slightly happy.

Nie Wei did not refuse, which meant that he did not object, and the meaning of his words was also very obvious. He was simply telling Jenny that the benefits she offered were not enough, so why not increase the stakes quickly?

"Sixteen percent... Wait." Seeing Nie Wei frowning, Jenny hurriedly said: "I heard that you also have a record company, so you must have singers under your company. I am willing to let your singers come to our Lakers for opening performances from time to time and give them the highest treatment."

"Then I might as well go directly to your brother. After I buy the Lakers, I can let my singers hold concerts in the Lakers' stadium." Nie Wei curled his lips and said disdainfully.

This made Jenny speechless. Of course, she also knew that Nie Wei was just saying it in anger. If Nie Wei really used the team's basketball stadium to hold a concert, the first ones to riot would be the players of the team.

Although those people are always laughing and joking, they will rise up to resist anyone who dares to defile their battlefield, even if it is the boss.

"Miss Jenny, you may think I am greedy. Your promise seems to be good in the eyes of many people."

"But you have to know that if I buy the Lakers' shares according to your plan, then I will have 2 billion US dollars of funds temporarily locked up."

"And you also know that I have an investment company. I can tell you the return on investment of our investment company in the past two years, and you will understand why I am unwilling to agree to your request."

"In 2009, we bought a Swedish game studio for 8 million US dollars. The game developed by this studio is called "Minecraft". Now Microsoft intends to buy it for 1 billion US dollars."

"Of course you can say this is a special case, and I don't deny it, but the average return on investment of our investment company this year is more than 50%, and the 15% you gave... It really doesn't make me excited." Nie Wei smiled and shook his head. Jenny felt that she clearly saw a trace of disdain in Nie Wei's eyes at this moment.

She didn't doubt Nie Wei's words. The game and the game studio that Microsoft wanted to acquire were hot searches in newspapers and on the Internet a while ago. It was really lively for a while. Although Jenny didn't pay attention to the news in this regard, she couldn't help but see some pushed news.

It's just that she didn't know that the studio actually belonged to Nie Wei.

Now she really admires and envies Nie Wei's vision. Some mathematicians are naturally sensitive to numbers. They can quickly find answers from countless numbers. Some poets are rumored to be able to see the color of words. In Jenny's eyes, Nie Wei is good at discovering treasures in various industries.

At this moment, Jenny even had the urge to "apprentice" to Nie Wei and learn how to invest from him. Of course, she only thought about this idea for a moment and then threw it out of her mind, because she knew very well that this was impossible.

The biggest problem facing Jenny now was that she could not give Nie Wei more than 50% of the profit, which would be billions of wealth. Even if Jenny was confident in herself, she felt that she could not pay back the money in a short time.

Not to mention five years, there might not be such an opportunity in ten years, not to mention that she could not promise such a huge profit to Nie Wei, even if she was crazy.

"Mr. Nie, the investment you mentioned has a high rate of return, but the risk is also high. However, investing in the Lakers is different. Your risk is basically zero."

"I think we should not beat around the bush. I propose a plan. If you agree, then I will help you. But if you don't agree, then let's pretend that we haven't talked about this matter today. Don't worry, I will leak any rumors, and you can find someone else to help you complete this matter."

Hearing Nie Wei's words, Jenny was a little nervous, knowing that Nie Wei finally had no patience to discuss with her and wanted to show his hand directly.

Thanks to Fantasy Paradise for the generous reward.
