Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Saying no is not easy either.

If possible, or if it were changed to something else, Alexey would definitely help Wang Ye.

It's a pity that this is the case...

Before rejecting Wang Ye, he had already considered various consequences in his mind.

If he agreed to Wang Ye's request and lent him money, it would make a big fuss if his political opponents caught him.

Then both he and Wang Ye would have to walk around without food!

At that time, he not only harmed himself, but also harmed Wang Ye.

If he didn't agree but explained the seriousness of the matter clearly to Wang Ye, he believed that Wang Ye would still understand his difficulties.

He won't resent himself. He believes that Wang Ye's mind is not so narrow-minded.

So, after much consideration, he rejected the matter.

After hearing what Alexei said, Wang Ye was not angry, but asked again calmly:

"Then do you know that although the use of this money is managed by your Ministry of Energy, in fact, the ownership should belong to Yukos Group and Gazprom. Because this money is equivalent to prepaid oil and gas energy costs!"

Alexey blinked, he really hadn't thought about this problem.

Hearing Wang Ye say this, it feels right. This money does not belong to the Ministry of Energy. He is just managing it on his behalf...

He hesitated for a long time and asked tentatively: "Then you mean...to take the money away through the Yukos Group? That's not right! According to the agreement, the money from both China and Japan is transferred into the designated funds of our Ministry of Energy. For those who have accounts, we will supervise the construction of the pipeline, so we still have the final say on how the funds are used."

Alexey felt that he was almost confused by Wang Yerao.

Fortunately, I reacted!

Wang Ye smiled and continued unhurriedly: "Then what are you going to do with this money? Just put it in the bank account and eat the interest? You know, pipeline construction will take several years, and this money will only last for a short time." I can’t even spend it.”

Alexei was stunned again, because Wang Ye was right, such a large amount of money could not be spent in a short time.

The pipeline construction period is expected to take five years!

In other words, the annual expenditure of these 30 billion US dollars is only a few billion, and the remaining money is not just sitting in the bank account and gathering dust...

He frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Although it is a bit wasteful to put it in the bank, it is also the safest way, otherwise what else could it be used for."

Indeed, if the money is left untouched in the bank, there will definitely be no risk, and no one else can say anything.

It’s not your own money anyway, safety is the most important thing.

Wang Ye continued: "Bank interest is not high. It would be too wasteful to just leave it like this. How about this. I will use one of my groups to issue corporate bonds, hand them over to the designated bank for sale, and then your Ministry of Energy will purchase them. This way. First, the safety of your funds has been guaranteed, and I have also obtained the funds I need. It is nothing more than paying some handling fees to the bank and giving you some interest."

What else can be done?

Alexei didn't know much about finance, so he was a little skeptical.

He asked back: "Is this really legal? Will the bank agree to help you issue bonds? Aren't the states generally qualified to issue bonds? When will companies also be able to issue bonds?"

Wang Ye laughed dumbly, "You, you can ask someone who understands finance. This is very common in mature financial markets. Why can't a company issue bonds? As long as the company's reputation and profitability can If you trust it, then there will be people willing to subscribe to the bonds it issues!”

Don't tell me, Alexei was really moved by Wang Ye's rhetoric.

He originally refused Wang Ye, not because he didn't want to help, but because he was afraid of causing trouble, especially because the procedures were not in compliance with the rules and it would be easy for others to find faults.

But since Wang Ye can think of a way to borrow money legally and compliantly, then he certainly doesn't want to be that evil person.

Moreover, he believed that Wang Ye used the money to acquire car brands and start a business.

He also believes that since Wang Ye plans to engage in the automobile industry, he will definitely be able to do it!

…………

Wang Ye came up with this "curved way to save the country" method, and finally got Alexey to agree that the Ministry of Energy would purchase the bonds issued by Wang Ye Company.

The total amount is US$5 billion, the term is five years, and the interest is only slightly higher than bank interest...

Originally, he didn't expect to make money from this.

They are all his own people, and Alexei is too embarrassed to make money from the royal family.

As for Wang Ye, he successfully obtained a large amount of funds, which was enough to acquire Volvo, Jaguar, and Land Rover. It was enough to package the three brands!

Of course, there are still a lot of procedures to go through.

For example, contact a designated bank, go through the corporate bond issuance process, and then go through the process with the Ministry of Energy until the funds are finally obtained.

The whole process may take up to a month at the earliest.

This is because Wang Ye has already discussed it with Alexey, the head of the Ministry of Energy, and the bank he is looking for must be a well-connected one.

In Russia, there are many private banks. Among others, Hovchenko has a large bank under his command.

…………

On the way back to the Duma Building, after sitting in the car, Rosiana had the opportunity to ask Wang Ye some questions.

At that time, when Wang Ye was discussing with Alexei, she sat quietly next to Wang Ye and knew the rules very well.

But now that there were no outsiders, she couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Boss, why did you use the money from the Department of Energy to acquire the car company? There should be many ways to solve it."

Wang Ye smiled and asked her: "For example, this is a huge sum of money, five billion! Very few people can afford it."

Rosiana said a little unconvinced: "If you ask your uncle to borrow it, he will definitely be able to lend you so much money. Also, you can also take a formal loan. After all, you are a member of the Economic Committee , I still have some face. If it doesn’t work, go find my adoptive father..."

Wang Ye shook his head and said: "All the methods you mentioned will make it difficult for others. Just take my uncle, his net worth must be far more than 5 billion, but if he is asked to come up with 5 billion US dollars in cash now, that's really Impossible. Besides, when I go to a bank, let alone the fact that I have never dealt with high-level people in the financial industry, and I don’t know anyone. Even if I find a way, which bank president would dare to lend me so much money at once. As for It’s even more impossible to find your adoptive father.”

In fact, Wang Ye didn't tell Rosiana something, that is, he did have other channels to get the money.

And it's easy!

But he did this deliberately, and used the money from the Department of Energy through legal and compliant but somewhat tricky methods.
