Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Therefore, after this group reorganization, listing is also on the agenda.

It was Hovchenko who personally introduced the listing plan.

"The group company is preparing to issue an additional 200 million new shares for listing financing. After the additional issuance, the company's total share capital will be one billion shares, and the original shareholders will occupy a total of 800 million shares in proportion. According to the professional advice given by BlackRock, we The company's valuation can probably reach around US$60 billion..."

Originally, Wang Ye held 35% of the group's shares, Hovchenko held 25%, Gazprom held 20%, BlackRock held 10%, and Allianz and CICC each held 5%.

But if it goes public smoothly, with those additional shares issued, the proportion of shares held by shareholders will be diluted.

That is, each person's share ratio is multiplied by 0.8.

It became that Wang Ye’s shares accounted for 26%, Hovchenko 20%, Gazprom 16%, BlackRock 8%, Allianz and CICC each 4%.

If the valuation is based on US$60 billion, then the newly issued 200 million new shares will be able to raise US$12 billion!

This is a huge sum of money.

But in fact, if it weren't for the current complicated situation, Hovchenko and Wang Ye really didn't want the group company to be listed.

It would be great to make a fortune in silence. As long as there are no problems with a few shareholders, it will be difficult for outsiders to understand the internal affairs of the group, such as revenue and profits. After the company is listed, the group company will become very transparent.

However, after weighing the pros and cons, Hovchenko decided to list the company, and Wang Ye agreed.

Because if you do this, it can be regarded as one more "talisman"!

To be honest, the valuation of US$60 billion is not that high for Yukos Group.

But there is no other way. The valuations of companies in this traditional industry are generally not too high, and the price-to-earnings ratio is incomparable with high-tech Internet companies.

"When the company is successfully listed, President Mikhail and Mr. Hovchenko must come to New York to ring the bell, because this will be the largest listing financing in recent years!" a BlackRock representative said excitedly.

Wang Ye didn't have much involvement in the specific operations of listing.

This was together with the reorganization of the company's shares, all handled by Hovchenko.

Wang Ye's energy was focused on more important things.

That is to say, to deal with the pressure from the "official side"...

As for ringing the bell when the company goes public, I guess Wang Ye may find an excuse not to go. His identity is too sensitive.

In addition, he is not interested in the old American side. After the "shadow" last time, he always feels that there is nothing to deal with there, so he shouldn't go if he can't.

…………

Today's board meeting took a bit long.

It lasted from the morning until about five o'clock in the afternoon, and even lunch was simply served in the group's internal restaurant.

A lot of things were decided at the meeting, involving the redistribution of equity, replacement of chairman and president, listing of the company, etc.

Of course, this is just to make some directional discussions and decisions. For specific matters, a dedicated team needs to be organized after the meeting.

Just like going public, a few of them made the decision in just a few words.

But actually going public is a big project!

Even if there is a giant like BlackRock in the American financial market to back it up, there are still a lot of procedures to go through.

However, judging from the financial situation of Yukos Group, there is no doubt that it will be listed. After all, the securities market in every country strives for such a super-high-quality company.

We will also provide a lot of convenience during the application process.

…………

At almost six o'clock, the door of the large conference room was pushed open.

The shareholder representatives came out in twos and threes. Wang Ye and Hovchenko shook hands with each representative and said goodbye.

After seeing everyone off, Hovchenko smiled and said to Wang Ye: "Let's go to my office... no, it should be your office. Go and sit there. From now on, that office will be yours to use."

After relinquishing his positions as chairman of the board of directors and president, Hovchenko will only serve as a director in Yukos Group, and he and Wang Ye have said that they will completely withdraw from the management affairs of the group company.

This is equivalent to truly handing over the company's management rights to Wang Ye!

As for what Hovchenko is going to do, of course Wang Ye understands, but he can't stop him...

Arriving at Hovchenko's large office, the two came to sit down on the sofa in the reception area.

The secretary brought coffee to the two of them and then left, leaving only two people in the office.

Picking up the white and delicate bone china coffee cup, Hovchenko took a sip of coffee and sighed.

Wang Ye smiled and asked, "What's wrong, uncle?"

Hovchenko shook his head and said: "It's nothing, I just want to leave Yukos Group suddenly, and I feel a little empty and uncomfortable. After all, I have been working in companies within the group for the past ten years. To be honest, during my time in the company , more time than I spend at home. I spend more time and energy on work than on my family.”

Also, it can be said that Yukos Group was brought to its current scale by Hovchenko alone.

In this company, Hovchenko put in too much effort.

Now he has resigned from all the positions of chairman and president, and will not even focus his main energy here in the future. He is indeed a bit reluctant.

Wang Ye said quickly: "Although uncle, you are no longer the chairman and president, you must still pay more attention to the company's affairs. Especially in the past few years, when I just took over, many things are not so familiar."

Hovchenko shook his head and smiled: "Anyway, I will try to interfere as little as possible in the group's affairs in the future. Since I have left it all to you, I can rest assured. Go do something you have wanted to do for a long time. I guess once it gets busy there, it will There’s no time to take care of this side of things.”

Having said that, Wang Ye naturally knew what the "things over there" meant.

However, he really didn’t know how Hovchenko got involved in politics, how he started, and how he developed.

Because Hovchenko's purpose of entering politics is absolutely different from Wang Ye's.

Wang Ye becoming the deputy speaker and the director of the Economic Committee is already an unexpected surprise. If he goes up, he won't have any extravagant expectations.

But what Hovchenko wants is definitely different.

His goal is to head for the chair in the Kremlin Palace!

Therefore, it is impossible to start from a small member of parliament. That would be too slow. Just look at Grezlov and Zhirinov.

It would be too difficult to rely on the Duma route to win the title.

Therefore, the path taken by Hovchenko must be a "shortcut", and he will hit the "throne" in two years!

Because in two years, it will be the general election...

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Ye still asked curiously: "Uncle, when you enter politics, do you plan to start from the Duma, or directly participate in the election? By the way, which faction do you plan to join? How about joining our third faction? alright."
