Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Wang Ye put down the knife and fork in his hand, looked directly at Gebrev, and said in a sincere tone:

"Uncle, he had a deep conversation with me two days ago and told me his thoughts and plans for the future.

He is no longer interested in politics, but has found a new cause worthy of all his investment, which is poverty alleviation and helping people in remote areas improve their living environment and quality of life.

For this reason, he needs a large amount of funds, so he wants to cash out all his properties.

Of course, I plan to take over those industries, which will not have any impact on the normal operations of several companies.

By the way, in addition to part of my uncle Hovchenko’s property, part of Abramovich’s property is also planned to be transferred to me.

They feel tired, are older, and have no interest in bothering anymore. "

The last sentence is quite meaningful...

But of course Gebulev understood it instantly!

A smile immediately appeared on his face. It would be great if Kovchenko really thought like Abramovich. Originally, the older generation of oligarchs should learn from Abramovich!

No one will stop you when it's your time to make money, but when it's your time to retreat, don't hang around any longer.

Moreover, just go about your own business honestly. Don’t stretch your hands too far and try to get involved in everything...

The reason why Hovchenko is so valued is not only his own strong financial resources, but also the "uncle-nephew" relationship between him and Wang Ye in the past two years has become even more important.

Even the Kremlin side found it quite difficult. They didn’t know what Wang Ye would do when dealing with Hovchenko!

Now, all worries have disappeared. Hovchenko finally figured out that politics is not what people like him should play.

Isn’t it good to use money to provide for old age? Of course, if you are still not satisfied with old age, or want to live a more meaningful life and do some charity or something, that would be even better!

To be honest, Gebrev even wanted to go back and discuss whether he should award Hovchenko a medal or something...

…………

After a long while, Gebrev sighed with emotion: "Yes, their era has passed! The future era will belong to you... young people like you."

Wang Ye showed a shy smile on his face, waved his hands and said modestly: "I'm still early, I don't have enough experience, and I still need to learn more from my adoptive father, Speaker Grezlov and others."

If we really want to classify them, Wang Ye should belong to the "third generation" in politics.

Needless to say, the first generation is the group of people who came out of the former Soviet Union just after the disintegration, but they have basically retreated. Luzhkov, the last evergreen figure in the political arena, was also "pulled down" by Wang Ye. They are not optimistic about the current political arena. The influence is almost zero.

The second generation, of course, is the ruling faction represented by the Kremlin and dominated by the Shilavik Group.

High-ranking figures such as Yifu, Gazev, Gryzlov, Meddev, Shao Yigu, etc. all belong to this generation.

Ordinarily, now is their era. If there are no surprises, they can continue to be glorious for many years.

But what cannot be ignored is that the third generation is also growing rapidly.

The most prominent representative of this third generation is, of course, the current Duma Deputy Speaker and Director of the Economic and Foreign Affairs Committee Mikhail!

Oh, and maybe add Rosiana, the current governor of Moscow...

The two of them undoubtedly belong to the "rising third generation"!

In addition, Wang Ye's performance in recent years has been too good, which has given everyone the impression that even the second generation is a bit old, and it is time to step down and give up the position to more outstanding young people!

As for oligarchs such as Kovchenko and Abramovich, they span the first generation and the second generation. Although only a dozen years have passed, the domestic situation in Mauritius has changed too much, so those oligarchs also seem to have "Out of tune" with the times...

At this time, it is most correct to choose to retreat bravely.

Abramovich was the first to see the situation clearly and choose this path. Now Hovchenko has understood it too, which is gratifying.

After getting to the bottom of things from Wang Ye's side, Kremlin finally let down his guard against Hovchenko.

The adoptive father actually discussed with Gorbrev whether he should award Hovchenko the highest medal of honor as a commendation after he started his charity work...

Of course, maybe Hovchenko doesn't care about these honors anymore.

…………

In early March 2006, YANDEX\u0026MAIL.RU United Technology Company conducted the last round of financing before going public.

Several investment institutions from China, Europe and the United States jointly took away 25% of the shares from Wang Ye for a price of US$5 billion!

This is a price based on the company’s market capitalization of US$20 billion.

Although the price is not favorable, it will be very difficult to acquire such a large share of shares after Y\u0026M United Technologies is listed.

However, there was no publicity for such a high amount of financing, and it was carried out in a low-key manner.

In the same month, Facebook Russia also conducted its last round of financing before going public. Wang Ye also transferred 30% of his shares and received US$4.5 billion in cash!

Facebook Russia’s valuation is only $15 billion, which is slightly lower than Y\u0026M United Technologies.

But this is normal, because this company is not the "complete body" of Facebook, but one of the three companies that was spun off, and it is the one with the "worst" future prospects...

Wang Ye had no choice but to rush to cash out before the company went public.

He also knows that if he waits until one or two years after the company goes public and the potential is fully reflected in the stock price before cashing out, he may get more cash.

But there is no way, he is in urgent need of money now.

And if the company does go public, it will not be easy for him, a major shareholder, to cash out large amounts, as there are too many restrictions.

It would be better to transfer the original shares to those who want to enter the market at a relatively fair price before the company goes public.

Although I suffered a "small loss", I was able to get a large amount of funds smoothly, and I also made a friend at the same time!

…………

After cashing out the shares of the two companies, he received 9 billion U.S. dollars. In addition to the 4 billion U.S. dollars prepared to build the super estate, Wang Ye now holds as much as 13 billion U.S. dollars in his hands!

However, one billion US dollars will soon be paid to Moscow State to acquire the estate, so the total funds that can be used are only 12 billion, but this is enough.

In April, Abramovich returned to Moscow and invited Wang Ye to his suburban estate for a get-together, along with Kovchenko.

The three reached a preliminary agreement, and Wang Ye funded the acquisition of several major assets owned by the two.

Including the shares of the Aluminum Group and the Media Group held by Abu.

As well as the Yukos Group shares and First United Bank held by Hovchenko!

Wang Ye needs to pay Abramovich $6 billion and Hovchenko $10 billion respectively!

Of course, it can be paid in installments over three years. Abramovich and Hovchenko are not worried that Wang Ye will default on the debt...

The actual value of these assets of Abramovich and Hovchenko is definitely higher than 16 billion US dollars. If they were not transferred to Wang Ye, the price is estimated to be at least 20% higher!

Now it’s considered a friendly price.

Wang Ye did not play any tricks and told the two of them calmly that he had prepared US$12 billion in funds.

You can pay Abramovich $4 billion and Kovchenko $8 billion immediately, which means each owes them $2 billion, which can basically be paid off next year.

Wang Ye is not short of money, so he doesn't really plan to pay it off in three years. That would be taking advantage of Abramovich and Hovchenko.

After initialing the agreement, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time stretched out their right hands and held them tightly together.

Abu sighed: "I really quit this time. I may settle in London for a long time in the future and won't come back much. My governorship expires next year and I don't plan to run again. But I can't throw away that territory. Misha, if you have a suitable candidate, you can recommend it to me and I will ensure that he can be successfully elected."

It can be heard that Abu really wants to quit and no longer plans to "play".

He holds tens of billions of dollars, is only in his forties, and still has plenty of time to be free and unrestrained, so why should he worry about living in China?

He has already earned enough money, and there is not much point in earning more. Of course, the most important thing is that the risk is too great, and he feels that he cannot control it!

Hovchenko smiled and said: "I don't plan to move abroad yet. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to do, but it is no longer those intrigues and intrigues. It's you, Misha. You may be under great pressure in the future. Quite a bit, neither Abu nor I can do much to help you, you have to walk the rest of the way on your own."

Wang Ye nodded solemnly and said confidently: "Don't worry, uncle, if you leave these industries in my hands, I will never let these companies decline. Moreover, the money earned by these companies will also be used for necessary purposes." Where we are, our goals are actually the same. We all want to make our loved ones around us live a better life, and at the same time make this society and this country better..."

This was a disguised guarantee to the two of them.

As long as he has not "fallen", neither Abramovich nor Hovchenko should worry about basic safety issues and just live the life you want!

In the past, two "big brothers" helped him and pushed him to his current high position. Now that both of them have stepped down, it is Wang Ye's turn to provide them with the necessary protection.

Abu nodded and smiled: "It's hard to imagine how much Misha's net worth will reach in the future. Maybe in a few years, our country will give birth to a real richest man in the world!"

This is no joke. After the two resold their high-quality assets to Wang Ye, although Wang Ye paid a lot of money, the assets they received were actually worth more.

Especially Yukos Group, Gazprom, and Polar Bear Investment Company, these three giants!

Just relying on the shares of these three companies, especially after all the Internet companies that Polar Bear Investment Company invested in in the early stage are listed, Wang Ye's net worth can easily exceed 100 billion US dollars...

And these are just assets floating "on the water". Wang Ye also has some companies that are not well known but have great potential in the future.

For example, Crime Investment Company and the security company that has dominated Africa...

No one in these two companies knows how much they are truly worth or how far these two companies can grow in the future.

But it is obvious that with the prosperity of the Crimean Peninsula, when it truly becomes the "Pearl of Eastern Europe", the assets held by the Crimean Investment Company will be an astonishing number!

As for the security company, it cannot be measured by money...

As for other "messy" companies, they are too lazy to forget about it!

…………

In May, Facebook Russia took the lead in landing on the Nasdaq stock market in the United States. As a highly imaginative Internet social platform and a company with monopoly advantages on the Russian Internet, it has been sought after by a large number of investors.

The stock price has been rising since the opening, with an increase of 36% that day!

The market value has reached more than 21 billion US dollars!

After the news spread back to Moscow, it caused a great sensation in the Internet industry and made many small and medium-sized Internet companies full of confidence in the future.

In the past two years, with Wang Ye's continuous investment and massive financial support, a large number of Internet startups have emerged in Moscow, most of which were founded by top IT graduates from major universities after receiving venture capital.

Although no "unicorn companies" have emerged yet, everything is full of hope. Who knows that in some time, there will not be a new "Google" or "Facebook"...

The sensation of Facebook's listing has not yet passed. Immediately afterwards, YANDEX\u0026MAIL.RU United Technologies followed suit and also landed on the Nasdaq stock market.

This company's imagination is not as high as Facebook's, but it has a "solid" foundation, a wide range of business operations, and a high number of user registrations. Almost every Russian-speaking Internet user is their loyal user, because everyone wants to read the news. All have to use email...

In addition, their business scope has begun to expand to e-commerce, online games, online videos, etc., so their future prospects are still very promising.

Therefore, YANDEX\u0026MAIL.RU United Technologies was valued at US$20 billion when it went public, and its stock price soared by 25% on the opening day!

The company's market value has reached an astonishing $25 billion...

Of course, whether it is Facebook Russia or YANDEX\u0026MAIL.RU United Technology, after the pre-IPO share dilution and the reintegration of the equity structure of these two companies, it is no longer possible to tell who the real major shareholders are just from the financial reports of the listed companies. .

Wang Ye secretly controls the shares of these two companies through several seemingly unrelated offshore companies. Of course, after cashing out before the listing, he can no longer control the shares in his hands absolutely.

But Wang Ye didn't care. After all, these two companies were not that important in his mind.

It is enough to be able to cash out so much money, and to be able to slowly cash out huge amounts of money in the future... (End of Chapter)
