Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Wang Ye stood at the end of the conference table and spoke in an exciting tone.

The dozen or so employees below naturally nodded repeatedly and carefully recorded the boss's words with pens and paper.

Don't say that Wang Ye's tone is too arrogant. Just kidding, don't forget that Polar Bear Investment Company still has a huge amount of US$2 billion on its books!

With so much money in hand, you will definitely not invest in some "stinky fish and rotten shrimps". The target must only be companies with great potential, even industry leaders!

But when it comes to Russian Internet companies, there are really only a few, especially when narrowing the scope to "monopoly potential"...

Therefore, after Wang Ye finished speaking, some employees raised their hands and spoke:

“Although I haven’t done detailed research yet, I often use the Internet.

Before coming to Polar Bear Investment Company, I worked in the investment department of Mr. Hovchenko's bank, so I know a lot about Russian Internet companies.

In my personal opinion, there are currently only two Internet companies in Russia that meet the conditions you specified.

One is Yandex and the other is MAIL.RU.

However, due to the plummeting stock prices last year, the situation of these two companies is not very good. A large number of employees have resigned. At present, they are barely able to survive without going bankrupt. "

Other employees also nodded in support of his statement.

Speaking of these two companies, Wang Ye is not unfamiliar.

It can be said that these are the only two strong Internet companies that have emerged after the development of the Russian Internet.

Among them, Yandex started as a search engine. In the field of Russian search, it defeated Google and helped the Russian Internet save a little face.

As for MAIL.RU, this company started out as a portal and email address.

Both companies are listed on Nasdaq, but because the global Internet bubble burst last year, that is, in 2000, their stock prices fell miserably.

One company's market value plummeted by 90%, and another company's market value plummeted by 97%...

According to the boss of Yandex, he once thought that his company was the worst Internet company in the world at that time, because the market value dropped from more than one billion US dollars to three million US dollars...

But in fact this is not the case, because the nearly five years from 2000 to 2004 were the darkest moments of the Internet industry, during which countless Internet companies went bankrupt!

Those who can hold on are basically pretty good.

In other words, the current market value of Yandex and MAILRU, the two "faces" of the Russian Internet industry, does not exceed US$5 million!

From this perspective, we can also understand why when Wang Ye said in front of the emperor that the Internet industry would change the world in the future, the emperor almost regarded him as an idiot.

These days, few people really have expectations for the Internet industry, especially investment companies!

…………

Hearing his employees mention these two companies, Wang Ye's heart moved. Don't tell me, this is the best time to buy Internet companies at the bottom!

With just a few bucks, you can get industry leaders like Yandex and MAILRU in your pocket.

Inspired by the words of his employees, Wang Ye also thought of two companies worth investing in, namely Penguin in China and Amazon in the United States!

In 2001, Penguin had not yet been listed on the market, and Xiao Ma was probably still struggling to find investors.

After all, we are in the "cold winter" of the Internet industry, and life is difficult for everyone.

And Amazon, the biggest "star" in the Internet industry, also saw its stock price plummet last year and the company's market value plummeted. It was a good time to officially buy the bottom!

However, Wang Ye did not need to tell his employees about these things for the time being. He just ordered: "I have heard of these two companies. You should collect information first and make preliminary contacts to see if they are interested in accepting investment."

In fact, if you really want to acquire listed companies, there is no need to contact them. You can just go directly to the stock market to buy shares.

Because of the impact of the bursting of the Internet bubble, there was no need to worry about not being able to buy shares. A lot of stocks were eager to be sold, but no one took them.

…………

After the meeting, Wang Ye didn't even go back to his office. Instead, he went downstairs directly, planning to go to work at the New Sun Group.

Now his daily schedule is quite tight.

The Kitty Eagle Group needs to visit from time to time, and the Polar Bear Investment Company must also set work tasks and goals for everyone. As for the New Sun Group, there are even more things over there...

Hey, this is the trouble of rich people!

Especially for a young man like Wang Ye, whose career is still on a rapid rise, there is no way he can be lazy. A bunch of "old guys" are watching him overtly and covertly.

Whether it's for himself or something else, Wang Ye can only work hard.

Just as he came downstairs and before getting in the car, Wang Ye unexpectedly met an "acquaintance"...

In fact, it cannot be said that they are acquaintances. The two have only dealt with each other and met once or twice.

There was a police car parked in front of the office building with lights flashing. Wang Ye didn't pay attention at first. He bypassed the police car and prepared to go to the parking lot not far away, where Seryozha and others were waiting for him.

As a result, the door of the police car was pushed open, and a man stuck his head out and shouted: "Mr. Mikhail?"

Wang Ye stopped and turned to look.

In the back of the police car, he saw a middle-aged man in uniform looking towards him.

This person looks familiar...

But I couldn't remember the name for a while.

Wang Ye was frowning and thinking about this person's name when a middle-aged man in uniform got out of the car and walked over.

With a smile on his face, he said: "It's really you, Mr. Mikhail. I'm Flamir. Some time ago... I helped you with something."

Wang Ye suddenly remembered that it was the police chief.

When Song Xiaogang had an accident, Wang Ye was the one who found him and fished Song Xiaogang out.

I didn't expect to encounter it again here.

He smiled and said, "I remember you. Hello, Chief Flamir. I remember your jurisdiction is not here. Are you here to do something?"

Indeed, Flamir is responsible for the security of that area of ​​​​Moda, and this area is close to the Red Square, so it is definitely not his turn to take care of it.

Flamir said happily: "Mr. Mikhail, you may not know that my job has changed recently and I have now joined the city bureau, haha."

It turns out he was promoted, no wonder!

Wang Ye knew this well, and he probably played a big role in Flamir's promotion process with the half-million dollars he gave him last time...

"Congratulations, Chief Flamir has outstanding abilities and is still in the prime of life. He will definitely be promoted to a more important position in the future." Wang Ye congratulated him with a smile.

Wang Ye was also happy to hear about Flamir's promotion. After all, he was an acquaintance.
