Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

It is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Ye is taking care of everything now.

I just spent an afternoon finalizing the acquisition of Arsenal with David Dein.

The next day, he left the matter to Katya for follow-up, because the reorganization of Gazprom Group was about to enter a critical stage.

Because the matter was so important, even Constantine, an old fox, personally led the team to Moscow.

After getting off the special plane, we checked into the Kitty Eagle Hotel directly.

When he saw Wang Ye, Constantine seemed to be in a good mood. He laughed and gave Wang Ye a warm hug.

"Misha, I'm lucky to have you this time, otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Wang Ye was a little surprised. It seemed that he didn't contribute much. Wasn't it all the efforts made by Constantine and others behind the scenes?

He asked curiously: "Fortunately you have me? How do you say this?"

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and asked Constantine to sit down.

This is Wang Ye's office on the top floor of the Kitty Eagle Hotel. The area is larger than his Duma office, and the decoration is much more luxurious.

However, Wang Ye seldom uses this office. He only occasionally uses it temporarily after get off work when he has work to deal with or when someone comes to visit.

Speaking of offices, Wang Ye actually has quite a few offices now.

Although he rarely goes to various group companies, as the largest shareholder or chairman of each group company, how could his subordinates not give him a separate office!

Like the Yukos Group headquarters building, the office originally used by Hovchenko was left to Wang Ye.

It has been some time since he took over as chairman of Yukos, but Wang Ye would only go there when the board meeting was held to use the office, which was usually just idle.

The same goes for other group companies, such as New Sun Group, United Airlines Group, Russian Automobile Group, etc...

These are the offices with the best location and the largest area in each group's headquarters building. Even if Wang Ye doesn't use them, he still has to have dedicated personnel cleaning them every day.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this may be quite wasteful...

…………

Constantine said as he sat down: "As long as you are still sitting in this position, it is a deterrent! When others know about our relationship, what I say also represents your meaning to a certain extent. Haha, Misha, you won’t blame me for doing things in your name, I’m doing this all to try to get a stake in Gazprom.”

Wang Ye was a little bit dumbfounded. When Constantine was lobbying for feelings behind his back, he even used his own banner!

Indeed, from what Constantine said, it was almost impossible for others to think that he was lying, so when you sit in this position, your attitude is very important.

Even if Meddev is as unruly as he is...

Perhaps Meddev is not a rebellious character at all, and his methods of doing things are relatively smooth.

No matter what Meddev's character is, when facing the alliance between Constantine and Wang Ye, he must carefully consider it.

Do you want to offend these two "big guys"?

Although Constantine does not hold any position in the political arena, no one who is not stupid will ignore his huge influence!

In addition, his granddaughter Rosiana is the adopted daughter of the Kremlin...

Maybe Constantine also represents the Kremlin to a certain extent.

That means that the Kremlin and the Duma join forces. Can Meddev withstand this?

After understanding this, I can't understand why Constantine managed it so smoothly.

"This time it messed up Meddev's plan. I wonder if he will complain." Wang Ye shook his head and said.

Konstantin grinned and said nonchalantly: "His plan? His original plan was obviously not good for the country or Gazprom, so why did he do that! This kid has only been here a few years, and the foundation has not been laid yet. Well, I just want to flirt with European and American capital. Let’s put it this way, his position is not stable. If he makes a slight mistake, he will be down!”

Wang Ye couldn't say anything. He couldn't say that in a few years, this person whom Constantine still didn't think highly of would become the ruler of the Kremlin...

At this time, no one except Wang Ye would believe this!

Because no matter how you look at it, the "young man" who just became the chairman of Gazprom is still far from enough.

Even if others believe that Wang Ye can enter the Kremlin, they will not believe that Meddev has this opportunity!

Of course, in fact, Wang Ye is not sure now. With his "unexpected factor", Meddev will still skyrocket as he remembered.

There may be some changes that may occur. This is something that cannot be said.

"By the way, how are you preparing the funds? Gazprom's valuation is not low. I have inquired again in the past two days. After communication and coordination between all parties, Gazprom plans to provide 30% All the shares are transferred by state-owned assets. But the group’s valuation is as high as 40 billion U.S. dollars! Even if we get 10%, it will cost 4 billion U.S. dollars. Gee, the asking price is harsh enough, but it is said that the price is not We have to discuss it, this is also what the Kremlin wants."

Constantine shook his head and said with a pained expression.

Is Gazprom worth $40 billion?

It's definitely worth it!

After all, this company has a near monopoly on all natural gas fields in Russia and has 100% export trade rights!

No matter how you calculate it, 40 billion is considered a reasonable or even low price.

But you must know that this seemingly reasonable valuation is too high in the eyes of people like Constantine.

After all, just a few years ago, when those oligarchs acquired state-owned enterprises, they paid a cabbage price, and all kinds of high-quality enterprises were as if they were picked up for free...

Now that the price has returned to a reasonable range, it feels a bit excessive.

Wang Ye doesn't think the problem is big. Three new shareholders have entered the market with 30% of the shares.

He and Constantine joined forces to take 10% of the shares.

Capital from Europe or the United States takes 10%, and a company from a large Asian country takes another 10% of the shares.

The problem is, this 10% share costs a total of US$4 billion!

Even if he and Constantine join forces, each of them will have to pay two billion...

Where can I find such a large amount of money?

Now when he heard Constantine asking about funds, Wang Ye frowned and asked: "Does this money have to be paid in one lump sum when buying shares? Can..."

Before he finished asking, Constantine knew what he wanted to ask, and simply shook his head and said:

"cannot!

The shareholding must be in cash and must be paid in one go, because the money that the government wants to withdraw immediately will not be left to Gazprom.

This is why the government agreed to the conditions for the reorganization of Gazprom! "
