Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Hearing what Wang Ye said, everyone's attention was diverted, because it was the first time they heard that Wang Ye was going to acquire a car brand.

"Misha, are you going to build a car? Are you going to acquire Lada or GAZ in China? It's a pity for these two companies. They could have done better." Gorbrev said enthusiastically.

The two brands he mentioned are both long-established Russian car companies, and they have had great successes in the past.

A few decades ago, there were still many old-fashioned Volga, Lada and GAZ cars running on the streets in China.

At that time, this was not accessible to ordinary people!

But it is obvious that both car companies have declined as the former Soviet Union collapsed and Russia's economy continued to stagnate.

Of course, there are also two brands, Volga and Muscovite, which are currently in even worse shape, and Gorbrev doesn’t even bother to mention them.

"Rada is okay now. After all, they are sold cheaply and are everywhere on the street." Abu also said with a smile.

Indeed, whether it is a big city like Moscow or a remote area like Chukotka, the most common car on the street is Lada.

By the way, Wang Ye’s old classmate Zhang Ke just bought a Lada and rented it out.

It can be seen that this brand still has a very strong mass base in Russia.

However, Wang Ye shook his head and explained: "None of them. I may acquire a few higher-end brands. Currently, I have three acquisition targets, Volvo, Land Rover, and Jaguar!"

Everyone here naturally knows these brands.

Abramovich smiled and said: "Then why not buy Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lamborghini, etc., wouldn't the grade be higher? These few are neither high nor low, and they are not considered luxury brands."

From his perspective, he naturally looks down on Volvo, Land Rover and Jaguar.

However, Wang Ye’s acquisition of brands is to develop this industry, not just to push the standards higher.

Let’s not talk about whether the brands mentioned by Abu are sold or not. Even if they are sold, Wang Ye will not buy them!

Because the sales volume is too low, the profit may not be very high...

What's more, those brands only sell a few thousand vehicles a year, which is not very interesting.

Before Wang Ye could speak, Zhirinov was not happy. He retorted: "I don't think it is necessary to acquire those top brands. Maybe those brands are very famous and profitable, but the sales volume is not high and they basically cannot drive sales. The development of the domestic automobile industry. The reason why Mishata wants to enter the automobile industry is not just to make money, but also to promote the development of the domestic industry."

Obviously, the two of them have different positions and different perspectives on the problem, and the conclusions they draw are naturally completely different.

You can't say who is wrong, everyone has his own reasons.

Gebrev nodded repeatedly, obviously he also felt that what Zhirinov said was right and it suited him very well!

Wang Ye smoothed things over and said, "Where can I get so much money to buy brands like Rolls-Royce and Bentley? Besides, it's impossible for others to sell them. So a brand like Volvo is more suitable. The price is not expensive and the sales volume is not low. It has a deep foundation and is relatively easy to do.”

Abu just talked casually, he was not interested in these businesses.

Just kidding, what business can be more profitable than energy mining and gold mining?

…………

The topic turned back to the football club. Abramovich smiled and said: "I have entrusted a team to start investigating to see if there are any suitable acquisition targets. If you are also interested, I will send you the investigation information later. One share. But I have to choose first, just don’t bid for the same club as me.”

Wang Ye said casually: "Isn't it true that there are several Premier League clubs in London alone? Then let's each buy a club in London. In the UK, London is the only international metropolis. Other cities are too small and have no development potential. of."

Abramovich deeply agreed and said with a bit of regret: "It's a pity that Manchester United is not in London, otherwise I would really want to buy this club. Oh, and Liverpool, these two clubs are the best clubs in the Premier League."

When football was discussed, the other people couldn't get in the conversation because they didn't know much.

But Wang Ye is also a senior fan, and he knows these things very well.

He smiled and said: "There seem to be five or six Premier League clubs in London, such as Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, West Ham United, etc. They are not bad."

Abramovich nodded, "That's right. Anyway, with our investment, no matter what kind of club it is, it will definitely become a giant in the future. It doesn't matter if the foundation is a little bit different."

He said this very confidently, but he also had the confidence.

Although football does not mean you can win with money, otherwise, China’s men’s football team would be able to enter the World Cup at least...

But in football clubs, there is a huge difference between having money and having no money.

If you have enough money, you can introduce superstars!

With superstars, team performance is guaranteed. If the performance is good, your team will naturally have more and more fans.

This is a virtuous cycle.

Most clubs' finances have not been very good in recent years. During the summer transfer period, if any club invested tens of millions of dollars or euros, it would be considered a big deal!

Only a galactic battleship like Real Madrid can easily make tens of millions of dollars and cause a sensation all over the world.

But after Wang Ye and Abramovich enter the football world, it will not be Real Madrid's turn to attract attention during the annual transfer period, because it is their club that will become the focus of the world!

…………

The banquet at Abu Manor is naturally filled with all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and black caviar, which is more valuable than gold, is also available in unlimited quantities.

But no one here cares about what to eat. Everyone is more focused on chatting.

Everyone is usually very busy and it is rare to get together once.

Now Abu has provided a place, and Wang Ye has pulled the strings for everyone to organize a dinner party.

At the dinner, everyone was discussing things like acquiring Premier League clubs and merging car companies.

As for politics, no one mentioned it, because if necessary, that kind of thing was more suitable to be discussed in private.

This is a gathering of the upper class.

After the banquet was over, it was already late at night, so everyone was too lazy to go back to the city and simply stayed.

Anyway, there are a lot of rooms in this manor!

But this time, there was no "surprise" prepared for Wang Ye like last time.

This made Wang Ye feel relieved, but also a little regretful...

…………

Early the next morning, Wang Ye got up and washed up. When he went to the restaurant to eat, he realized that Gebrev and Alexey had already left.

Obviously these people were busier than themselves and rushed back to the city to go to work early in the morning.

In comparison, Wang Ye is much freer.

Originally, he planned to stay with Abu for half a day and the two of them had a good chat, but a phone call forced him to return early.

It's the end of the month, everyone's monthly passes should be cleared, don't waste it.
