Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Milner is absolutely envious and jealous of Wang Ye and the Polar Bear Investment Company he controls!

Because this investment company controls too much money.

The acquisition of Sibneft alone cost $5 billion!

It is said that the company still has billions of dollars in cash on its books...

In this day and age, with so much money, there are so many things that can be done.

If you give yourself this money...

Milner didn't even dare to think about it!

He is firmly optimistic about the Internet industry, so he invested all his wealth into the MAIL.RU company without hesitation two years ago.

In fact, he almost succeeded. When the company went public last year, its market value soared to hundreds of millions of dollars.

Milner owned about 10% of MAIL.RU's shares, and his net worth at the time was tens of millions of dollars.

Unfortunately, the general environment suddenly turned bad, and the company's market value plummeted to several million dollars now. However, he believes that the current market value is ridiculously low and cannot truly represent the company's value.

However, Milner is still insisting. He is keenly aware that this period is an excellent time for Internet giant companies to develop rapidly!

Because of the harsh environment, many Internet companies have gone bankrupt. These external factors will reduce competition and reduce company operating costs.

You can definitely take advantage of this opportunity to "enclose the territory" and quickly capture more market share!

But the problem is that you need to have enough money in order to do this.

Although the current situation of MAIL.RU is a little better than that of Yandex, and it is not necessary to lay off employees and reduce business to survive, it does not have any extra funds for expansion.

Therefore, Milner is very eager to have large funds to enter the company, but at the same time, he is not willing to "sell himself for glory" and wants to continue to maintain control of the company!

………………

Wang Ye suddenly asked: "Is Mr. Milner interested in doing investment banking-related work?"

Milner was stunned and didn't respond. He asked instead: "Investment bank? Where can I find an investment bank?"

"Polar Bear Investment Company, are you interested in coming to work? Our company has two billion US dollars in cash on its books, and we are planning to invest all of it in the Internet industry in the next year or two! Mr. Milner, you are very familiar with investment and the Internet. This The job should suit you very well." Wang Ye said with a smile.

This is the "sweet date" he plans to give to Milner!

In addition, Wang Ye did not agree to let Milner work at Polar Bear Investment Company in order to successfully acquire MAIL.RU.

He really took a fancy to this person's ability and wanted him to come to the investment company to be his deputy, or even directly preside over the work of the investment company!

Before coming, after reading Milner's information, Wang Ye remembered who this person was...

In his "previous life", Milner was also considered the number one figure in the global investment banking circle!

His two most famous investments were in Facebook, where he invested US$200 million in shares. In less than five years, it soared to more than US$10 billion!

The other time was to invest 800 million U.S. dollars in JD.com, which stunned Brother Dong. He felt that the valuation given by Milner was ridiculously high. Brother Dong himself couldn’t believe that JD.com could be so valuable!

This investment helped Milner earn more than ten times the profit in just a few years!

This guy is very famous in the investment circle, because his investment style is different from others, his vision is accurate, and he is ruthless...

As long as it is a project that he likes, the target company will have to accept it with money directly!

For example, for a company, in a certain round of financing, other investment companies generally give a valuation of around one billion US dollars, but Milner will directly double or even triple the valuation!

Maybe at first, everyone thought he was a victim, but after a few years, you have to admire his vicious vision!

For such an investment expert, it is really overkill for him to be limited to MAIL.RU.

Therefore, Wang Ye wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of acquiring MAIL.RU to acquire this talent and come to the investment company to assist him in his work.

After all, although Wang Ye is definitely better than Milner in terms of "vision", because he clearly knows which Internet companies will stand out in the next twenty years, and even knows which Internet giants will be twenty years from now. What is the market value of...

In this regard, let alone Milner, no one in the world can compare with Wang Ye!

But investment work is also very professional and tedious. It is impossible for Wang Ye to put all his time and energy here. He needs a super capable deputy to help him do a lot of work.

Milner is the best choice!

…………

Sure enough, Milner is very excited now.

He felt his scalp was numb and his heartbeat was racing. He asked in disbelief: "I...want me to work at Polar Bear Investment Company?"

Although he still doesn't know what position Wang Ye plans to give him, but since he is inviting himself, it is obvious that the position will not be low.

You know, Polar Bear Investment Company and MAIL.RU are not companies of the same magnitude at all!

Polar Bear actually has billions of dollars on its books, while MAIL.RU's market value was only a few hundred million dollars at its highest, and now it's only worth a few million dollars...

"Yes, you can come here to serve as executive vice president and preside over the company's daily work." Wang Ye replied with a smile.

Milner was so excited that he almost blurted out and agreed.

Fortunately, he still had sense and allowed him to control himself. After calming down, he said with a smile:

“Thank you Mr. Mikhail for recognizing me, I will consider your invitation very, very seriously.

Is this good? Regarding the acquisition of our company, I will have another meeting with the company's board of directors to discuss it in two days, and then give you a final answer.

Of course, from the perspective of company development, I personally agree with Mr. Mikhail’s plan to privatize and delist MAIL.RU and merge with Yandex to become the true overlord of the Russian Internet! "

At this moment, Milner's tone obviously softened.

He no longer mentioned words such as "firmly disagree" and "can only raise funds to expand shares". Instead, it became that he agreed, but a meeting was still needed to discuss...

In fact, being able to say this basically means that there is no problem with this acquisition, but Milner and the others still need to step down.

Wang Ye naturally understood what he meant, nodded with a smile and said:

"Don't be too limited in your vision. The Internet industry needs to be global and look at the world!

If you stay at MAIL.RU, what if you can make it the number one Internet company in Russia?

Polar Bear Investment Company, the company that wants to invest in shares, will become a global Internet giant in the future!

It is possible that the market value will exceed 100 billion US dollars or even a trillion US dollars. When you look back at today's persistence, you will feel very ridiculous. "
