Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

No wonder Wang Ye is surprised, because he has no shares in Yukos Group and only holds the position of "Special Assistant to the President".

But Hovchenko gave him a year-end dividend of US$100 million, or it could be called a year-end bonus.

Anyway, this amount is far beyond what Wang Ye deserves for his position!

Wang Ye closed the check folder in his hand, hesitated and said: "This... is too much. No reward for no merit. I shouldn't take this money."

Although a hundred million US dollars is a large amount of money, it is not an exaggeration for Wang Ye now.

So the temptation to him is actually not that great.

In comparison, he would rather take the money he feels comfortable with than the "charity" given by others!

Hearing what Wang Ye said, Hovchenko smiled slightly, patted Wang Ye on the shoulder and said, "Take it, I know you have a lot of things that cost money recently, but you don't really have much money to earn. This money can’t help you much, it’s just for emergency purposes.”

Indeed, Wang Ye has many companies, including many large ones.

But there are not many companies that can help him make money in a short period of time.

Needless to say, those who can make millions or tens of millions of dollars sporadically, because that money can't solve any problems.

The companies that can really help Wang Ye make money are probably Kitty Eagle Group and Siberian Gold Mine, but these two companies haven't started to make efforts yet. If they really want to get the benefits, it will probably be next year.

There are not many companies making big money, but there are many places where big money needs to be spent!

A "10 billion ten-year" project is a bottomless pit, and money needs to be poured into it continuously!

Another Wagner Security company, this one is also a money-sucking machine.

There has been news from Petrov that the deal for the 10,000-ton cruiser has been finalized with the Black Sea Shipyard for 20 million US dollars.

However, this is only the price of the "bare" ship. If a weapon system is added to it, additional money will be required.

In addition, he suggested that Wang Ye go to the Black Sea Shipyard in person, because there are many good things there, and it would be best to see them with his own eyes, and whether he would like to buy more...

Wang Ye plans to fly there in a few days. It's the end of the year, and he has some money in hand to spend some money!

After all, there are a lot of things that you can buy now when you are at your poorest. If you miss this good opportunity, you won’t be able to buy them if you want to buy them in the future.

Because many things were either sold to others at a low price by Ermao, or completely turned into waste.

…………

After thinking about it, Wang Yezhan smiled, collected the check readily, and said, "Well, I'm really short of money recently, so I'd better obey my orders. Thank you, uncle."

He knew very well that this money was equivalent to extra money given to him by Hovchenko.

Whether it was to reward him for his performance in the acquisition of Siberian Oil Company, or simply to win over people, he accepted the favor!

Seeing Wang Ye accept the check, Hovchenko also smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

"By the way, starting from next year, you should get more involved in Yukos Group's affairs." Hovchenko changed the subject.

Wang Ye was a little confused and asked: "Isn't it a good place here? You have uncle to take charge of it personally. I'm not very familiar with the oil business."

Hovchenko shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter if you are not familiar with it. You will get familiar with it if you get in touch with it more. I will be able to control the Yukos Group for a year or two. Next, I have other more important things to do." , I don’t have time to worry about the group’s business. This business will still be handed over to you in the future.”

Obviously, through this year's "test observation" of Wang Ye, his performance was recognized by Hovchenko.

Now they have told Wang Ye frankly that he will be needed to succeed Yukos Group in the future!

Wang Ye has become Hovchenko’s designated successor!

Although Wang Ye had already had this premonition, this was the first time that Hovchenko had pointed this out to him face to face.

However, Wang Ye was not overjoyed. Instead, he asked worriedly: "Then...what are you going to do, uncle?"

Kovchenko smiled slightly, "In two years' time, that is, in 2003, the general election will begin again. This time, I am ready to give it a try!"

Wang Ye was shocked and wanted to tell Hovchenko immediately.

Don't try this kind of thing randomly, because if you don't do it right, you will die if you try it!

When the words came to his lips, Wang Ye swallowed them.

After thinking about it for a while, he frowned and asked, "Uncle, you have always been in business. You have no political foundation at all, and you have no influence in the political arena. To suddenly compete for... that position, isn't it difficult?"

It is indeed difficult for Wang Ye to understand. This happened so suddenly!

Originally, he also knew that Kovchenko intended to develop in the political arena, but Wang Ye just thought that Kovchenko would take his time, maybe like Abramovich, first run for a Duma member, then slowly expand his influence, and finally go to That position initiates an impact.

But he never expected that Hovchenko would be so ambitious and aim at the highest position from the beginning!

"Haha, it's actually not that difficult. As for the election, as long as you can get enough votes, you can be elected regardless of whether you have been in politics before. You may not know that there are many media in the country that directly or Indirectly controlled by me. When the time comes for media promotion and sufficient campaign funds, my chances of success are still very high." Hovchenko said confidently.

He has a point, and it may be true in most countries.

But the problem is, he ignored an issue.

That is, it also depends on who the competitors are...

You, a conscientious businessman, are seeking death if you compete with the emperor for that position!

But don’t forget where they come from!

However, Wang Ye couldn't explain some things clearly in front of Hovchenko. After all, the two were not real "uncle and nephew" and were not related by blood.

After racking his brains, Wang Ye persuaded again: "How about...uncle, you can be like me and run for Duma deputy first to experience what it's like to be in politics. Besides, Duma deputy is not busy with work and can still take care of both. The work of Yukos Group. This company still cannot do without you, uncle. I may not be able to manage it for a while."

Wang Ye definitely did this out of good intentions. He didn't want to see Hovchenko end miserably...

Moreover, as long as Hovchenko and the Emperor do not fall out, it will be the best situation for him.

He can have both sides, and is suitable for both business and political circles.

But if the two sides fall out, the person who will suffer the most may be Wang Ye. He will immediately become a rat in the bellows, suffering from both sides...
