Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

On March 15, Kovchenko ended his Asia trip and returned to Moscow.

Without taking any time to rest, he called Wang Ye over.

As soon as they met, Kovchenko asked in a face-to-face manner: "I heard that you invested 10 billion in the Crimean Peninsula? Are you crazy! Is there any industry in that damn place worth investing so much money? Besides, can you really do it?" Spend so much money to invest?”

Although the tone was harsh, it was obvious that Hovchenko said this out of concern.

Wang Ye sat down calmly, took out his cigarette case, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then responded: "Uncle, have you forgotten the gold mine that Abu and I jointly engaged in? Just rely on that gold The mine’s dividends should almost cover Crimea’s investment in ten years.”

Kovchenko paused, seeming to have just remembered this matter, but still said angrily: "With so much money, wouldn't it be better to use it to acquire some oil fields? If you really have no place to invest, buy Gazprom shares and get dividends every year It’s also very good.”

Obviously, in the eyes of people like Hovchenko, perhaps the energy industry in Russia is worth doing now.

The rest of the industry is not worth mentioning!

So he couldn't understand Wang Ye's approach. After all, Wang Ye had never communicated with him in detail about this matter before.

There are some things that Gorbrev can understand, but Hovchenko cannot.

"Hey, it's okay. Uncle, how was your inspection trip to China, Japan and South Korea? Is there any progress?" Wang Ye asked, changing the subject.

Speaking of this, Hovchenko lay on the sofa with a tired face, stretched out his hand to Wang Ye and said: "Give me a cigarette."

Wang Ye quickly took out a cigarette, clicked the lighter, and lit it for him.

Kovchenko rarely smokes, but he was obviously very tired from this inspection trip. Moreover, he had just returned to Moscow and had not rested yet, so he had to smoke a cigarette to relieve his fatigue.

"It still has some effect. I communicated with the relevant departments in China and they are very interested. In addition, they are also discussing natural gas with Gazprom. If possible, they will release our oil and Gazprom's natural gas." We will consider it together. However, this matter involves too much and requires a lot of investment, so it is unlikely to be decided in a short time."

Hovchenko briefly introduced his trip to China.

This is also normal. Bulk commodity transactions must not be retail sales. In that case, there is no need for Hovchenko to come forward in person.

What he was negotiating this time must be a long-term supply contract with an astonishing amount of money.

But this kind of contract cannot be negotiated once or twice. You will understand if you refer to the Gazprom contract that has been negotiated for so many years and has not been finalized.

Wang Ye nodded, and when he was about to say something, Hovchenko said another sentence, which shocked him.

"I'll leave it to you to follow up on this matter. Isn't your Chinese very good? It's also convenient for communicating with the other party. As a director, don't just take a salary and do nothing. Negotiations on this kind of big business belong to you. Job responsibilities," Hovchenko said with a smile.

Wang Ye was stunned for a long time, why did this matter fall on him again?

It’s not that I can’t leave it to myself, but will my identity be “exposed” if I go to negotiate with the relevant domestic departments...

Obviously, for such a large-scale negotiation, the relevant domestic departments will definitely make very detailed investigations and preparations. If you are the person in charge, you will definitely come into the other party's field of vision, and you will definitely investigate your background. …

Wang Ye feels that his true identity cannot be concealed from relevant domestic departments.

He smiled bitterly and asked Hovchenko: "Have you forgotten my identity...uncle? I should avoid suspicion for this kind of thing!"

Hovchenko was stunned and almost didn't realize what Wang Ye was saying, but he soon understood.

He laughed dumbly, patted his forehead and said: "Oh, I am so tired and confused, I almost forgot your Chinese identity. Don't tell me, if you hadn't mentioned this, I would have forgotten that you are Chinese. It’s a human thing!”

Indeed, as Wang Ye's performance becomes more and more dazzling, Hovchenko has already regarded him as his "nephew" in his heart.

Although he also wanted to take advantage of Wang Ye, he really cared about and trusted Wang Ye.

If Wang Ye had not done anything to betray him, he really planned to hand over Yukos Group to Wang Ye's management.

Even if his children's abilities cannot satisfy him in the future, he will not let his children work in Yukos Group, but will let Wang Ye continue to manage it.

As for my family, just be a shareholder behind the scenes...

"Yeah, it's probably inappropriate for me to come forward." Wang Ye said quickly.

He really doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. Things in Moscow are enough to give him a headache. If he is discovered by the country again, it will be a big trouble!

It's not good to make a fortune in silence, he doesn't want to be in the limelight.

"No, no, I don't think so. It's just because you have that extra layer of identity that you are more suitable to discuss this cooperation. After the other party knows your identity, it will definitely be easier to talk, because with your identity This middleman is the most suitable, both parties trust you." Hovchenko shook his head and smiled.

"Ah? Then aren't you worried about me harming the company's interests?" Wang Ye said reluctantly.

"You won't. In addition, this kind of cooperation needs to be discussed and approved by the board of directors. You alone have no power to directly determine the conditions of cooperation." Hovchenko said calmly.

Wang Ye was speechless.

Because what Hovchenko said is correct, even if he "cheats in" and gives China a super favorable price to sign the contract, if the Yukos board of directors does not approve it, the contract will not be implemented.

Therefore, my dual identity has become a "lubricant". Both parties trust me more, and maybe it can really promote this cooperation.

In the end, he could only say helplessly: "Well, leave this matter to me."

Hovchenko patted him on the shoulder and consoled him: "Don't look reluctant. If you really negotiate this cooperation, your prestige in Yukos Group will further increase. When you take over the company in the future, It will also reduce a lot of resistance, because everyone will recognize your abilities!"

Having said this, what else can Wang Ye say...

Fortunately, it is estimated that this cooperation will not be discussed for a while, and it is normal for it to be delayed for a year or two or even several years.

In addition, Wang Ye did not intend to discuss this matter alone.

He plans to take a "free ride", that is, let the government come forward to take charge of the negotiations, and he can make suggestions from behind...
