Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Probably seeing Wang Ye's face being a little embarrassed, Constantine asked with a smile: "What? Are you under financial pressure recently? Do you need me to help you coordinate the funds? We are all old acquaintances. Nothing else." Say more, use your Yukos Group shares..."

Wang Ye didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he waved his hand quickly and said: "Thank you Mr. Constantine for your kindness. I can solve the funding issue here, so you won't have to worry about it."

This old fox just bought a stake in the Kitty Eagle Group, and now he wants to get a stake in the Yukos Group.

How could Wang Ye let him have his way!

Besides, although Wang Ye can't come up with so much money in a short time, it's not impossible to solve it.

Don’t forget, whether it’s Hovchenko or Abramovich, they are both people with huge amounts of cash.

With the relationship between Wang Ye and them, it would be enough to just borrow some money. The two of them would not be interested in Wang Ye's shares.

Seeing that his wishful thinking failed, Constantine was slightly disappointed, but he also understood that if Wang Ye was really that kind of "naive" young man, he would not be able to reach his current position.

Rejection is normal. If you really agree, you will have to think carefully about his intentions...

Rosiana, who was sitting aside, naturally understood what her grandfather had in mind, so she secretly rolled her eyes and interjected: "Misha has so many group companies, including Kitty Eagle Group, New Sun Group, and Siberian Gold. It’s a cash cow, and you can make up the money by just drawing some money from anywhere.”

What she said was really an exaggeration. If it was $200 million, then Wang Ye would have no problem scraping it together casually.

But this is two billion dollars...

Besides, it's only the end of March, and it's not time for various group companies to pay dividends.

In addition, the profits of some group companies have fixed purposes, which does not mean that Wang Ye can spend it however he wants.

Constantine shook his head and smiled bitterly. Girls are looking out. Now, as his granddaughter, he has begun to defend this boy Mikhail.

Even for the benefit of this kid, when discussing the purchase of shares in the Kitty Eagle Group in Petersburg, he often argued with himself over some detailed terms.

…………

Two billion U.S. dollars is indeed a large sum of money, and it would be difficult for Wang Ye to easily come up with it by relying on his own group companies.

But he can go to Hovchenko and Abramovich to borrow them.

So, the next day, Wang Ye called Hovchenko.

"Uncle, what have you been busy with recently? I haven't seen you for a while. Let's have a meal and chat together today?"

Hovchenko's hearty laughter came from the phone, "Haha, do you want to see me if you have anything to do? Otherwise, you, a busy man, usually don't have time to have dinner with me, a semi-retired old guy."

After the successful reorganization of Yukos Group, Hovchenko has been in semi-retirement.

Not long ago, he went abroad to reunite with his family and rest for a while. He just came back a few days ago. Wang Ye was busy at the time, so he only had a phone call with him but did not meet in person.

Therefore, Hovchenko was right. He was not blaming Wang Ye, because he knew that Wang Ye was indeed very busy and had a lot of things to do every day.

As for what Hovchenko is busy with recently, Wang Ye has not paid attention to it for the time being.

According to the agreed time, Wang Ye came to Hovchenko's residence.

Now Hovchenko no longer lives at the headquarters of Yukos Group, but lives in a high-end apartment southwest of the city center.

This apartment is located right next to the park. It is quite secluded and has a good environment.

I don’t know why, but Hovchenko doesn’t like living in a large manor in the suburbs. With his financial resources, there is certainly no situation where he can’t afford it.

Maybe it's because it's too lonely to stay here alone, so I prefer to live in a livelier place...

…………

Wang Ye came to this apartment a long time ago, not long after he met Hovchenko.

After all, he is a super rich man, so the apartment he lives in is certainly not an ordinary house. Hovchenko even bought two entire floors by himself, and then built a duplex building.

Security was also very careful. As soon as they got out of the elevator and entered the corridor, they saw several armed guards walking around. When they heard the sound of the elevator, several people looked over at the same time.

But when they saw it was Wang Ye, several people showed smiles on their faces and greeted Wang Ye one after another.

These people are all affiliated with Wagner Security Company, and of course they know their bosses.

Before Wang Ye could reach the apartment door, the door was opened, and a housekeeper wearing a three-piece suit and meticulously combed hair was already waiting at the door.

Obviously, it is impossible for Hovchenko to live in such a large apartment alone.

Although the family is not here, there are quite a few housekeepers, servants, etc.

Hovchenko was sitting on the big sofa in the living room, crossing his legs leisurely, drinking coffee and smoking a cigar while reading the newspaper.

"Sir, Speaker Mikhail is here."

The housekeeper led Wang Ye to the living room and said to Hovchenko.

Hovchenko had put down the newspaper and cigar in his hand, stood up, smiled and hugged Wang Ye to say hello.

"Misha, it's been a long time since I've been here. If you're not pressed for time today, please stay a little longer and chat with me."

Wang Ye smiled and nodded. He came here today to eat with Hovchenko and borrow some money...

Of course, it is impossible to rush out as soon as you borrow the money. That would seem too utilitarian.

…………

The two sat down and the butler brought coffee and a cigar box to Wang Ye.

"Do as the Romans do." Wang Ye also took out a thick Havana cigar, cut it open, lit it, and took two comfortable puffs.

"What have you been busy with recently?" Hovchenko asked casually.

Wang Ye paused for a moment before replying: "Uncle, have you heard that Gazprom is going to carry out shareholding reform recently and introduce new shareholders, and the state-owned assets will step down from their position as the absolute majority shareholder."

Hovchenko was stunned, obviously he didn't know about this.

He frowned and asked: "I just returned to China, and I haven't paid much attention to these things. I don't know. However, it was not easy for Gazprom to be controlled by the state. In order to obtain absolute controlling rights, there was a lot of trouble. There are so many things to do, why are you giving up now?"

When Gazprom was established in the past, a lot of "bloody" things probably happened. Wang Ye didn't know about it, nor was he interested in knowing about it.

He smiled and said: "This matter was brought up by the current chairman of Gazprom. Anyway, after discussions and compromises by all parties, we have reached an agreement. However, after the share reform, the state-owned assets are still the major shareholders, but they are no longer the owners." Absolute controlling interest."

Hovchenko seemed to realize something, looked at Wang Ye in surprise, and blurted out: "Why, you want to buy a stake in Gazprom!"
