Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

If Wang Ye is really in urgent need of money now, then one billion to two billion US dollars will definitely be no problem.

If nothing else, Hovchenko now has a lot of cash in his hands!

During the reorganization of Yukos some time ago, he transferred many of his shares and received an astonishing amount of cash.

If Wang Ye needs it urgently, just ask him to borrow one billion or two billion, easily.

But the problem is, Wang Ye doesn't think it's necessary.

Even if you don't purchase any Ka-60 or IL-76, the weapons and equipment of Wagner Company are enough.

Especially in a poor place like Africa, do you need such "luxury" equipment?

The most important thing is that Petrov's "kill first and tell later" approach made Wang Ye wary.

He must control Wagner's power in his own hands, but Wang Ye cannot stay at the security base all day, so it is not convenient for him to intervene in personnel matters. He has never been a soldier himself.

You can’t always rely on laymen to lead experts.

Besides, he had more important things to do, and he didn't have the energy to manage the Wagner Company himself.

Therefore, Wang Ye must control it financially!

No matter how high Petrov's prestige is in Wagner, it doesn't matter if all the middle and lower management staff are promoted by him.

As long as he dares to be half-hearted, Wang Ye can cut off Wagner's "food and fodder"!

From beginning to end, Wagner's financial department was located in Moscow.

Every staff member, whether they are at the Siberian security base, the Sevaspor base, or a base in Africa, but their salary is paid by the Moscow financial department!

With more than 10,000 employees, the monthly salary is a huge expense. Once the salary is cut off, it is estimated that they will not be able to last for two months, and everyone will be gone.

Everyone comes to work at Wagner, isn’t it because of the good benefits and high wages...

In addition, all income from Wagner Security Company and various business income are directly transferred to the company's account without going through Petrov's hands.

Petrov obviously knew this in his heart and never said anything.

…………

Seeing his boss looking at him with a purchase order for weapons and equipment, Petrov smiled slightly and explained:

"Boss, although this equipment purchase seems expensive, it doesn't cost much."

Wang Ye was stunned for a moment. He didn't need to spend too much money?

Naka 60 and IL 76 are both hard currency!

No matter how good the relationship is, Shao Yigu would not dare to sell them at a loss. Besides, the purchase of these aircraft is not through Shao Yigu, but needs to be directly connected with the United Airlines Group.

Could it be that Petrov wanted to let himself, the chairman of United Airlines, use a "back door"?

But even if you give a cost price and don't expect to make money from this transaction, it can't be too cheap.

Petrov continued: "Needless to say about other equipment, go through the channels of Director Shao Yigu and purchase the unused ones from the military. It is very cheap, as if it is free. The two most expensive pieces of equipment are the Ka-60 helicopter and the Iraqi Er-76 transport plane."

Wang Ye nodded, he just had questions about these two items.

"The Ka-60 helicopter has just been developed, and even the military has not yet equipped it. The price for foreign trade is 10 million U.S. dollars each. But I have talked with them. If we purchase fifty at a time, we can give them a The internal cost price is six million dollars per helicopter. Fifty helicopters are equivalent to US$300 million," Petrov added.

Rosiana couldn't help but ask: "The helicopter alone costs 300 million U.S. dollars! With so much money, it's not a good idea to just buy the ones that are idle in the army. One of them doesn't even cost 1 million U.S. dollars. It's cheap." There are too many, and the performance is not bad.”

It's not like she doesn't understand at all. So many helicopters currently equipped by Wagner Security Company are "second-hand".

The original purchase price was indeed very cheap, but it did not affect the use at all, because it was not old, but it was no longer used by the military. Many aircraft were only delivered for more than ten years.

Since there are bargains, why do you have to buy a 60 card?

Petrov patiently explained:

“Although the second-hand ones are cheap, they are indeed older models and their performance is not up to the world-class level. The Ka-60 has a very high technical level and is very suitable for use in Africa.

In the long run, after calculating the comprehensive cost, it is more cost-effective to purchase a card worth RMB 60.

Moreover, the reason why I purchased fifty of them at once was not all for my own use.

I plan to resell half of them, that is, twenty-five, to tribal chiefs with better connections in Africa for US$12 million each.

In fact, I have contacted them all, and Mumu’s tribe alone ordered five helicopters at once and paid for them all.

The other twenty aircraft also have potential customers.

Don't underestimate the chiefs of the big tribes over there, they are really rich.

Therefore, the company does not need to pay the 60 yuan to purchase the card. The advance payment from the chiefs is enough.

In this way, our Wagner company got twenty-five of the most advanced Ka-60 helicopters out of thin air without spending a penny!

And it also helped United Airlines open up the African arms equipment market! "

Wang Ye and Rosiana were speechless. They didn't expect that Petrov was so business-minded.

This is simply a waste of time!

Indeed, United Airlines Group really has no way to directly go to Africa to promote its products. After all, as a "state-owned enterprise", it has many concerns.

It's not even easy to contact the tribal chiefs directly, because there is a "national" layer above these tribes.

If you bypass the national department and contact the tribe directly, what will others think?

But Wagner Security doesn't need to think about this at all.

They are a commercial company. While providing security services to those tribes, they also sell some equipment for their own use. This is reasonable...

Even these helicopters sold may still be in the hands of Wagner Company in the future.

After all, if those old gangsters want to learn to fly and control helicopters, they need to train in Wagner's security base for a long time.

As for why the tribal chiefs didn't directly contact United Airlines to purchase the helicopters, why should Wagner make a difference of two million when the helicopters only cost ten million?

First of all, the demand for each of their tribes is too small. They only buy a few aircraft. United Airlines Group does not like such small orders.

In addition, in the final analysis, tribes are just tribes, not "countries". They go directly to foreign countries to purchase arms. What will the government departments above think...

Now Wagner Company provides a convenient and safe purchasing channel and charges you a "service fee" of two million, which is not excessive!
