Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Most of the assets in Abu's hands now are actually not his own.

It was entrusted to him by his "mentor" and good friend Berezov!

As for why Berezov entrusted him with the responsibility, it is of course because the two have a good relationship and Berezov also trusts Abu.

On the other hand, because he was forced to have no choice but to do so, Berezov has fled abroad...

"So, if I want to acquire Sibneft, I need the consent of both Berezov and Abramovich. Fortunately, Berezov can say that as long as the price is right, he is now willing to liquidate the assets in Russia. But Abu's side is much more troublesome, he has a big appetite, haha."

At the end, Hovchenko smiled and seemed a little dissatisfied with Abramovich.

In terms of "seniority", Kovchenko and Berezov are the same generation, and they are also the all-powerful oligarchs!

As for Abramovich, he was just the younger brother who "carried bags" for Berezov. Without Berezov's support, Abramovich would not be where he is today.

However, Abu had a rather vicious vision and hugged the emperor's thigh tightly. Now he has become the one with the best relationship with the emperor among the many oligarchs.

Of course, this is also because the old oligarchs like Hovchenko are not convinced by the emperor and cannot let go of their arrogance.

…………

Wang Ye thought for a moment and asked cautiously: "Uncle, have you been negotiating the acquisition with Berezov? Now it's settled with Berezov, and then Uncle Abu's side has some procedural issues. problems, it has been unable to really promote the merger and acquisition process.”

Kovchenko nodded, "Yes, I sent a team to London some time ago, and we have reached an agreement with Berezov to fully acquire 7% of the Siberian Petroleum Company for $6 billion. Ten shares. I also flew over in person and met with him. But because he had no way to return to China, you know the reason. So it was a bit troublesome to go through the legal procedures in Russia."

What makes Hovchenko very headache is that the acquisition process has now reached a dead end.

Berezov holds 70% of the shares of Sibneft and is undoubtedly the largest shareholder.

But because he had "committed a crime", he was wanted by the country, and the Siberian Oil Company was also entrusted to Abu.

At the same time, Abu is also a shareholder of this company, but his shares are relatively small, only 10%.

Wang Ye seriously suggested: "Uncle, I think the key to this matter lies with Uncle Abu. Don't talk to Berezov anymore, it's useless. Just get it done with Uncle Abu, and the acquisition should There will be no problem!”

Kovchenko glanced at Wang Ye in surprise and asked with a smile: "Why do you think so? Abramovich only holds 10% of the shares, and he has not decided on Berezov's shares. It's just an escrow."

Wang Ye said helplessly: "The key is that Berezov has gone into exile abroad. Now the real person in charge of the Siberian Oil Company is Uncle Abu! As long as he nods, there is always a way to transfer the equity. He If you don’t nod, no matter what Berezov says, it will be useless.”

"You mean... to directly bypass Berezov and go through certain procedures to directly take away his shares? That's not possible. Although it is possible, my business reputation will be ruined." Hovchenko He shook his head repeatedly.

They are all smart people. Although what Wang Ye said just now was vague, Hovchenko could understand the specific meaning immediately.

It is nothing more than taking advantage of the fact that Berezov is in exile and does not control the actual power of the Siberian Oil Company, so he "colludes" with Abu, gives all the acquisition funds to Abu, and asks him to cooperate with him to acquire all Berezov's equity. Come here "by force and plunder"!

This method can be done in Russia today!

But Hovchenko doesn’t want this…

Wang Ye had no choice. He had already told Hovchenko the "best", "most effective", and perhaps the "only" way. But if Hovchenko didn't adopt it, what else could he do?

"This country can't go on like this anymore. It's militaristic and corruption is rampant! And the most basic people's livelihood cannot be solved well, and business is not prosperous. Look at the past few years, there has been no foreign investment. The capabilities of this government are not good. ." Hovchenko shook his head again and said.

Wang Ye was shocked. Is Hovchenko dissatisfied with the emperor?

Want to replace it? !

This idea is so dangerous, it’s best not to even think about it!

He didn't care much anymore, and quickly advised: "Uncle, we are businessmen, just run our own business. Political matters have nothing to do with us, we have to have confidence in...the emperor and others, give them more time , everything will be fine."

As a result, Kovchenko did not approve, but sneered: "Hmph, you may not know who helped him get into this position in the first place! As a result, after taking power, he was cruel to us. I really want to Let’s see how long he can hold on to this position if the economy fails to improve and public anger grows!”

Wang Ye didn't dare to take up the topic. Who knows if there was anything like a "listening device" in the private room where they were chatting...

You need to know where the emperor comes from!

I hope Hovchenko is just saying angry words, but don't really want to make any small moves. In that case, not only will Hovchenko's good life be short-lived.

Even Wang Ye has no time and space for "obscene development"!

…………

The two were silent for a while, immersed in eating separately.

Perhaps, when Wang Ye came over to have dinner with him this time, Hovchenko didn't want to ask him to come up with any ideas. It was just that things were not going well recently and he just wanted to find someone to talk to.

When he was almost done eating, Hovchenko put down his knife and fork, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth.

Looking at Wang Ye, he said: "I want to take a few days off in the near future and go abroad to see my family, but I can't let go of the acquisition of Siberian Oil Company. Let's take over this matter for a while and let Ivan help you. He also knows a lot about this acquisition. Regardless of whether it can be done or not, you can also take the opportunity to get to know more people, expand your interpersonal relationships, and let others know that you are such a number one person, haha."

Wang Ye's hand stopped in the air and he didn't react for a moment.

Hovchenko What does this mean?

Put yourself in charge of the acquisition of Sibneft?

The problem is, I haven’t participated in this matter from the beginning to the end. Now, if I join in halfway, what effect will it have?

Could it be that, as he said, it was just to let himself know more people...
