Rebirth in America

After hearing this, Bart was angered by the other party's changing attitude. He said: "I have already given you 5 times the price. Do you think that the shares of the Yankees will be increased to 5 times in a few years?" What?"

"call!"

Haston exhaled a cloud of smoke and said slowly: "10 times! If you can pay 10 times the price, I will sell it to you!"

"Wouldn't it cost $10 million to buy your 20% stake?"

Normally, 20% of the shares of the Yankees are not worth US$1 million, but now everything is going well for the Yankees and the momentum is strong. People are optimistic about the Yankees winning the championship, and the team's shares are also rising.

At the beginning, Bart thought that he could get this 20% stake for only US$1 million, or no more than US$2 million at most. After all, when he purchased 80% of the shares before, it was less than US$8 million.

Unexpectedly, Haston avoided Bart from the beginning and traveled to Europe. Even after he came back, Bart was not notified, which made him feel a little worried.

Sure enough, after meeting Bart, Haston insisted not to sell his shares. After being pushed hard by Bart, he finally relented, saying that taking into account the appreciation in value in a few years, the asking price was 5 million, which was five times the original price.

After much thought, Bart decided to spend US$5 million to acquire the 20% stake. Nowadays, the Carpenter family's income is increasing. Not to mention the record company and electronics company, even Alex's DreamWorks is making money day by day.

For Bart, $5 million was an astronomical figure a few years ago, but now it is just a modest expense.

He felt that the words were more meaningful and valuable than money, so he rushed over excitedly. But what he didn't expect was that Haston raised the price again, which was difficult for him to accept.

"Hey, otherwise, you'd better go back. I'm really sorry that your trip was in vain."

Haston is trying to get them to leave, but Bart is wavering. He knows that if he misses this opportunity, he may never be able to get the 20% of the shares.

Just when Bart was about to agree to the other party's high price request, he was stopped by Alex.

"Don't talk! Let me talk to him." Alex whispered in Bart's ear.

"Do you have any idea?"

Bart found it strange. He knew that Alex had a high IQ, but he really couldn't think of any other way to make Haston give in. After these few days of contact, Bart gradually learned that Haston is a stoic guy, rational and bold, very measured in doing things, and good at seeing through people's hearts.

Alex smiled mysteriously, of course he had a way. As early as when he came, he felt that the acquisition of shares would not go smoothly, so he volunteered and followed.

"How about it, Mr. Bart, for you, 10 million US dollars is just the profit of a few computers."

Haston looked directly into Bart's eyes, trying to continue to exert pressure in this way. Unexpectedly, Alex said a number that kept him awake day and night.

"$1,435,925.25!"

"What?" Haston almost jumped out of his chair when he suddenly heard this number.

"I said, we are only willing to give you $1,435,925.25 to buy the shares!"

Haston asked in disbelief: "You, how did you know..."

Bart listened to their riddle-like conversation and was puzzled, but he still watched quietly without speaking.

Alex smiled. When he saw Haston, he modeled the other person in his mind, turning his original puppet into Haston's appearance. At the moment of shaking hands, the information energy of the other party is stolen.

Originally, this was just a precaution, and he had no intention of changing anything. What I didn't expect was that it actually came in handy. Through the copied Haston doll, he learned some inside information.

Haston is an Irishman. After he came to the United States with his parents, he suffered all kinds of hardships and worked all kinds of jobs. He resorted to deceit, kidnapping, and theft, and finally built a business, with a net worth approaching hundreds of millions. This guy is quite powerful. He saw the opportunity after the war when all kinds of industries were waiting for prosperity, and borrowed money from banks to invest in many industries.

This leather processing factory is just one of them. Haston also has clothing factories, electrical appliance factories, etc., and even real estate. Whatever you do to make money, you do whatever you get money for. Unexpectedly, because the stall was too big, the capital chain was suddenly broken.

Normally, this little thing would really be nothing. But he borrowed too much money, and everyone he knew knew what kind of person he was, and they were unwilling to lend him money to help him out. So Haston found a loan shark and borrowed a sum of money. Unexpectedly, this money was just the beginning, and the debt snowballed, increasing.

As of now, Haston owes more than $9 million in money to banks and loan sharks. In order to pay off his debts, he plans to sell his valuable possessions. The factory and other things have been mortgaged in the bank and cannot be sold. Only the team's shares can be moved.

But even if the shares are sold, the debt will not be paid off. At most, the interest on the debt can be paid off. This is crucial. As long as he has a few more months to breathe, his factory will be able to generate profits and funds will be able to circulate. His property will naturally be revitalized.

Just at this moment, Bart came to the door. He had no intention of letting this God-given opportunity pass him by. As a result, what happened to Bart happened above. Haston gradually tested Bart's psychological bottom line step by step, and planned to sell the shares at 10 times the price.

When he was almost done, he heard a number that kept him awake day and night. This number happens to be the interest on the debt that he has to repay today, no more, no less.

Haston looked at Alex as if he had seen a ghost, and kept thinking in his mind: "How did he know! How did he know! How did he know!"

Alex spread his hands and said: "If you don't want to sell to us, then you have to say goodbye. I think after you go bankrupt, the court will definitely be willing to sell these shares to us for less than US$1 million. After all, The property auctioned usually has less than 60% of its original value, not to mention that the shares are not worth US$1 million."

After he said these words, he pulled Bart and turned around to leave.

Just as he was about to walk out of the door, Haston hurriedly shouted: "Wait! Please wait!"

In the end, Haston gave in, knowing that it was too late to find a buyer. Whether it's finding someone or bargaining, it takes time. Besides, not many people are willing to spend more than 1 million US dollars to buy this share. He only spent 300,000 US dollars to buy it from a guy who was eager to sell.

Of course, he lowered the price, otherwise he wouldn't be able to buy it for 300,000 yuan, and it would cost at least 500,000 yuan.

In the past few years, the Yankees have been very strong, so what was originally worth hundreds of thousands has increased.

Alex and the others were kind enough not to keep the price down like him. If it’s true, as Alex said, that he waits until he goes bankrupt before buying it, he really doesn’t need to spend $600,000 to buy it.

Now he can sell it for more than one million US dollars, just enough to pay off the interest, take a breath, and maybe turn around. If you can't recover, you will really fall into an abyss. Not only will the bank auction your property, but what's even more terrifying is that the loan sharks will not let you go easily.

Haston knew that he had failed this time, and that he had failed inexplicably. For him, people like Bart, who he originally saw well, were a sure bet. Unexpectedly, a boy saw through his thoughts and accurately stated the number.

"How on earth did he know?"

Haston has been thinking about this issue since he sold his shares. He was convinced that this number was known to only a few people, not even the banks or loan sharks.

He was sure that Bart didn't know, at least not until the boy said it. Otherwise, Bart wouldn't have to come in person, he would have to hand over his shares with just a phone call.

"Is there a traitor? But it doesn't make sense. Even the accountant only knows part of it. No one knows."

Haston thought hard and didn't know what the problem was.

On the other hand, after signing the contract, Bart and Alex were already on their way home.

After receiving the shares, Bart was very happy. After he came to his senses, he also asked: "What's going on with that number? How did you know it?"

Alex shrugged his shoulders and said: "I asked Chuck to investigate the other party's financial situation before, and UU Readingｗww.uukanshu.net learned that he urgently needed a sum of money to repay his debts. Originally, I didn't know the figure. Just now in his room, I accidentally scanned the documents on his desk and revealed a number. After my analysis, this number happened to be the interest on the debt that he needed to pay off, so I used it to bluff him."

Bart tried hard to recall the scene at that time. He seemed to have seen the files on the table, but he couldn't remember what was on them.

However, the matter could be solved perfectly, and he no longer delved into the matter. This acquisition of the Yankees is indeed not profitable in the short term. Fortunately, the Yankees are very competitive, and it is estimated that they will not be much worse in the next few years.

It was precisely because the Yankees were hot and had a series of victories that made Bart excited. It only took him a week to think about it before he decided to acquire the Yankees.

Since the Carpenter family had no shortage of money, they spent money on all kinds of strange things, including daily necessities and some things that were of no use. None of their family is a miser, someone who spends whatever money they have.

Fortunately, their ability to make money is not weak, and they have earned hundreds of millions in assets in just a few years. In particular, radios and computers produced by Carpenter Electronics, as well as record companies and DreamWorks, these companies are simply cash cows for them.

Alex is also a very good spender. After he saw Bart buying a team, he remembered the comic company he had promised to buy for Richard.

He has investigated clearly during this period and found that the comics industry is really being manipulated to the point of extinction.
