Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Seeing that Milner was still resisting, Wang Ye was not polite.

He leaned back on the chair and said with a smile: "Maybe Mr. Milner doesn't know it yet, but we have fully acquired Yandex!"

Milner was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know about this.

In fact, it is not surprising that Wang Ye started to acquire Yandex so quickly that it only took one day to reach an agreement.

This happened yesterday, and the news hadn't spread yet, so Milner naturally didn't know about it.

"Acquired Yandex? When did this happen? Why didn't I know?" Milner blurted out.

"Just yesterday, I reached an agreement with Mr. Voloz, and Polar Bear Investment Company will pay for the privatization and delisting of Yandex." Wang Ye replied with a smile.

Milner's brows furrowed as he was thinking about how much impact this matter would have on today's negotiations!

Although he looks tough on the surface, Milner is not really short of money, and he doesn't want to "scare away" Wang Ye.

When doing business, isn't it just that one party raises the price and the other party pays back the money on the spot?

Everything is negotiable...

"So...why does Mr. Mikhail want to acquire our company MAIL.RU? After all, you already own Yandex." He asked tentatively.

"Because I want to merge your two companies and become the real Russian Internet overlord!" Wang Ye said simply.

He didn't even bother to beat around the bush and just stated his intention directly.

Milner grinned, with an expression of surprise or ridicule on his face...

After thinking for a while, he said: "Well... that's a very good idea. I don't know how much you spent to acquire Yandex, but our company is different from Yandex. They have both begun to lay off a large number of employees. Obviously, they cannot support it financially. Live. But our MAIL.RU is different. Our company still has a lot of money in its account, enough to support it for more than a year."

It has to be said that Milner is indeed better at running the company than Woloz, and his financial situation is also healthier.

At least up to now, this company has not started laying off employees in large numbers.

However, it is said that internal salary cuts have begun...

…………

Wang Ye became impatient when he saw that the bald man was still holding on to his words and wouldn't let go.

He is absolutely busy with everything going on right now, so how can he "waste" so much time and energy on such a small acquisition?

To be honest, he didn't really care whether he could buy MAIL.RU or not.

Don’t forget, it’s only 2001!

The Internet has not developed for long, and the Internet bubble has burst. There are still a lot of high-quality companies waiting for him to acquire.

MAIL.RU, you can choose it or not!

It can even be said that with his financial support, it won’t take long for Yandex to crush MAIL.RU.

Then it was Milner who begged him to acquire him...

"The last offer is to fully acquire MAIL.RU at a premium of 1.5 times the current market value. However, after the acquisition, I will take out 15% of the company's shares to establish an equity incentive pool. Currently All senior executives and key employees will have the opportunity to receive equity incentives from the company. Moreover, I will make an additional capital injection of no less than $50 million to help the company continue to grow and develop. Oh, by the way, the two companies will merge."

Wang Ye said simply.

Milner's face was uncertain, and it took him a long time to say, "What if we don't accept it?"

"That's very simple. In a year at most, MAIL.RU will no longer exist, because Yandex will do all the business you do, and it will do it better than you. I will use it for your company." All the money is invested in Yandex to compete with you."

Wang Ye's words were simply a threat!

But he is indeed qualified to say this because he has money in his hands!

Think about it, on the one hand, funds are tight, and employees have taken salary cuts, so that they can barely keep the company running.

The other side can get hundreds of millions of dollars or more in funds, and it is very strong in itself, and it also has the "big killer" of search engines!

If Yandex really wants to make a portal website, it can really give it a try with MAIL.RU...

Under internal and external difficulties, MAIL.RU probably won’t last even a year!

"Are you...are you threatening me?" Milner became a little angry.

"You can understand it that way." Wang Ye replied calmly.

Milner nearly choked to death.

But this is the gap in strength. Even if Wang Ye threatens him, he has no ability to fight back.

"Can you give me some time? I need to discuss it with other people on the company's board of directors." Milner's attitude softened and he smiled bitterly.

"You only have three days! I will hear the final answer within three days." Wang Ye said unceremoniously.

Milner had a grimace on his face and nodded helplessly.

………………

The "big stick" has been waved out, and I will give you a "sweet date" next.

Wang Ye changed the topic and said with a smile: "I have long heard that Mr. Milner is very good at managing companies, especially in terms of finance. Your company went public at the same time as Yandex, and the funds raised were similar, but the funds there are The chain has been broken, but you can still persist for one year without having to lay off employees, which is very rare."

Speaking of this, Milner had a smile on his face.

He said reservedly: "This is my major. In fact, I don't know much about Internet technology. I am better at financial management and investment."

Since he wants to acquire this company, he must have collected relevant information about the company's executives, so Wang Ye still has some understanding of Milner's background.

This bald head is really amazing.

I graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Moscow State University with a PhD, and then went to the famous Wharton School of Business to study for an MBA!

After graduation, I worked in a large investment bank for a period of time, and then joined a bank as a vice president after returning to China.

Coincidentally, that bank is Hovchenko's property...

However, Milner had resigned from the bank two years ago and took his savings accumulated over the years to invest in MAIL.RU!

With his capital, excellent work background, and ability, Milner was elected CEO by the board of directors as soon as he entered MAIL.RU and began to take control of the Internet company.

It was also under his operation that the company was successfully listed and enjoyed great success for a time!

Speaking of which, this is also a legendary figure.

It's a pity that now he meets Wang Ye...

………………

"Then Mr. Milner should know our Polar Bear Investment Company." Wang Ye said with a smile.

Milner nodded, "Of course I do! A few days ago, Mr. Mikhail made a big purchase of the Siberian Petroleum Company. It is really beautiful!"

He said this, but in fact Milner still felt a little disapproving of it.

Judging from his experience, that kind of acquisition only relies on various "collusions" behind the scenes and a competition between various forces.

Definitely not a purely commercial behavior!
