Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

In the past few years, after receiving dividends from various companies at the beginning of each year, I basically spent them immediately and did not stay in my account for long.

The many companies under his umbrella are not all cash cows like Yukos Group, Kitty Hawk Group, Siberian Gold, etc. Don’t forget there are also “bottomless pits” such as Wagner and Crimea Investments.

Plus Zhang Xiaoxi’s asset management company...

It can be said that no matter how much dividends you get, it is not enough!

However, the situation is different this year. Whether it is Wagner, Crimea Investment, or domestic asset management companies, they do not need capital investment for the time being.

Wang Ye has no intention of reinvesting the money in his hands, but intends to spend it!

Four billion U.S. dollars is not a small amount of money, and it is quite difficult to spend it. However, the things Wang Ye wants to buy this time are not cheap. He should be able to spend all four billion U.S. dollars...

He and Rosiana are not too young, and both of them are now successful in their careers and in high positions. It would be unreasonable for them to remain single and delay getting married.

And considering their status, getting married is not a simple matter, and preparations need to be started several years in advance.

At the very least, Wang Ye must prepare the house...

He still doesn't have a house of his own.

It doesn't matter when you're single, living on the top floor of the Kitty Eagle Hotel is very convenient, no worse than those so-called high-end apartments.

But after getting married, it is no longer suitable to live here.

So Wang Ye is planning to build a manor and do as the Romans do. Rich people like to live in manors. Wang Ye is also an "old man" now. Of course, the "home" he prepares for himself must be a large manor!

If you just buy a piece of land to build a manor in the suburbs, it won't cost much. It will cost you only one to two hundred million US dollars. This is already considered a top-notch mansion.

But Wang Ye took a fancy to a place, located opposite the Kremlin Palace in the city center, across the Moskva River from the Kremlin Palace.

This was originally a manor called "Kolominsk Manor", which was built in the 14th century as the summer residence of the tsar.

That's right, this manor is located on a hillside, higher than the Kremlin Palace. Standing in the manor, you can overlook most of Moscow!

Since it is a royal estate, it naturally covers a large area, covering 390 hectares!

One hectare is equal to 0.01 square kilometers, so this manor covers an area of ​​3.9 square kilometers...

This thing is bigger than the Kremlin Palace!

You know, the Kremlin Palace covers an area of ​​only 28 hectares. The area of ​​​​the Kalominsk Manor is equivalent to fourteen Kremlin Palaces!

It is located in the absolute city center, has a huge area, and is a royal garden. If you want to buy this manor, the price is not cheap.

This is also the reason why Wang Ye prepared a full four billion US dollars.

In fact, if his fiancée were not Rosiana, Wang Ye would not even think of buying this manor, because it would be too "ostentatious" and would have a bad influence.

But Rosiana is the direct descendant of the Tsar, the contemporary "Grand Duke Romanov"!

From this point of view, it would be very suitable to buy this manor, renovate it and use it as their future home, and ordinary people would not say anything.

After all, this can be regarded as "returning the property to its original owner".

Of the 4.1 billion US dollars he prepared, perhaps 2 billion would be used to buy this manor, and the remaining 2 billion would naturally be used for renovations.

After all, this manor is hundreds of years old, and the buildings inside have long been dilapidated, and most of them are wooden buildings that are completely uninhabitable.

Coupled with the fact that the state's finances were unable to make ends meet in the past few years, there was naturally no extra money to maintain such places. Therefore, the manor fell into disrepair and almost all the buildings inside needed to be demolished and rebuilt.

Of course, the funds Wang Ye has prepared are so abundant that they will definitely be enough.

After he completes the reconstruction of this manor, this mansion should be the most expensive mansion in the world, bar none...

After all, this is a super estate worth four billion US dollars!

…………

The Kalominsk Manor belongs to the city of Moscow and is under the control of Rosiana. In addition, when it is rebuilt, the king will mainly consider Rosiana's opinions.

So, he found some free time to have dinner with Rosiana and told her his thoughts.

After hearing what Wang Ye said, Rosiana was very happy.

Because Wang Ye finally started to consider the issue of their marriage...

"What a great idea!

I have been to that manor several times. The scenery is very beautiful. If it is properly repaired, it will definitely be very comfortable to live in.

But such a large piece of land in the city center will be very expensive.

Moreover, when the two of us buy land, there will definitely be a lot of people watching, and it will not be easy to give a low price. "

Rosiana was happy at first, and then frowned as she spoke.

Also, because of their sensitive identities, they couldn't buy the Kalominsk Manor at a low price.

Otherwise, you will leave an excuse for others!

Wang Ye smiled and said casually: "Money is not an issue. I just received a dividend of 4 billion U.S. dollars a few years ago. I plan to invest all of this money in this manor. I bought this manor with 2 billion U.S. dollars. , it shouldn’t be considered a low price. You can also give an explanation to the people in the state.”

When she heard the amount Wang Ye said, Rosiana's eyes widened instantly.

Of course she knows that Wang Ye is very rich, but using four billion US dollars to build a manor is still too exaggerated...

You know, the most expensive residence in the world is probably the King's Buckingham Palace, which was once valued at $6 billion!

The manor that Wang Ye now wants to build has a budget of up to 4 billion U.S. dollars, which is almost comparable to Buckingham Palace.

As for other so-called mansions and manors, these two super mansions are completely inadequate...

"Do you need so much money? It's too... extravagant!" Rosiana sighed.

"Haha, since you want to build your own house, you have to do your best, otherwise why would you use so much money?" Wang Ye said casually.

This manor will be lived in for a long time in the future, and Wang Ye will certainly not mess with it casually.

Although he spent a lot of money and seemed a bit "ostentatious", Wang Ye felt there was nothing wrong with it.

To be honest, some people may think that his "wasting" such a generous amount is reasonable.

Seeing that Wang Ye has made a decision, Rosiana will naturally not object.

She excitedly began to envision what the manor would look like after it was built...

When resting at night, Rosiana suddenly mentioned Tonya.

She smiled and said:

"There was a ballet performance at the National Dance Academy two days ago, and your little girlfriend happened to be on stage, so I secretly went to watch it.

Don't tell me, she is pretty and can dance well.

It seems that he will become a big star in the future! "

Wang Ye felt a little embarrassed, so he turned to him and said, "Why... why did you suddenly think of going to the ballet? I've been very busy with work recently."

The corner of Rosiana's mouth curled up slightly. She saw Wang Ye's guilty conscience and said, "Why, what are you worried about? I already knew about her when she came to Moscow. I'm just curious about what kind of girl can make her You were so moved that you even brought it back from Irkutsk."

She really didn't pay attention to this matter. When she met Wang Ye, she knew that there were many girls around Wang Ye.

Coupled with the environment in which she grew up, this kind of thing is very common and she has long been accustomed to it.

It’s just that Rosiana has a principle, that is, Wang Ye can spend time outside, but it cannot affect their careers, cause scandals to spread all over the world, and cannot affect their future families...

Wang Ye is not the kind of person who is confused. He also agrees with Rosiana's ideas, so he pays attention to this most of the time.

He tried his best not to let his other girlfriends appear in front of Rosiana, and never mentioned other girls in front of Rosiana.

Today, it was Rosiana who took the initiative to bring it up, which made me feel a little embarrassed for a moment...

After smiling awkwardly, Wang Ye changed the subject and said:

"By the way, the Industrial Fund Office recently submitted a plan to me, involving domestic network infrastructure. This is related to your family's industry.

Take that plan with you when you leave tomorrow and send it to your grandpa to look at.

Our domestic network construction is too backward, and the Internet penetration rate is not high enough. There is no Internet access in small and remote cities. Even in big cities like Moscow and Petersburg, the cost of Internet access is too high.

The future era is the era of the Internet. If the hardware foundation cannot keep up, it will affect the development of the entire industry.

The idea of ​​the Industrial Fund Office is that the state will provide part of the funds, and several communication companies will also provide part of the funds, to popularize the domestic Internet and reduce costs..."

To be honest, if Elena hadn't submitted this plan, Wang Ye would have ignored this point.

Seeing the plan, Wang Yecai remembered that when he was an ordinary student, he used to hate the high Internet fees in Moscow!

He was in school at the time, and it was not difficult to apply for the Internet. After all, he was in Moscow, and the school was considered a well-known university, so the basic conditions were still met.

However, even in universities, there are not many students who have the conditions to access the Internet.

Because the cost of computers and Internet access is too high, and ordinary college students cannot afford it...

A computer with very ordinary configurations costs about six to seven hundred dollars.

Internet access is charged based on data traffic. Not to mention the slow speed of the Internet, the traffic charges are very scary!

Not to mention watching videos, just browsing news online, playing QQ, and playing online games will cost one or two hundred dollars a month...

How can ordinary old college students afford it?

Only international students and a few old college students have the opportunity to access the Internet regularly.

As for Internet cafes, the Internet cafes here are different from those in China.

The environment may not be much better than that in China, but the price can be compared with several streets in China...

Wang Ye has been emphasizing the development of the Russian-language Internet in the past two years. After Elena took charge of the Industrial Fund Office, she conducted a detailed survey on the domestic Internet industry in Mauritius.

Then a report was submitted, pointing out that if you want to develop the Internet industry, the most basic point is to popularize the Internet first, so that more ordinary people have the opportunity to access the Internet...

The price of computer hardware cannot be reduced too much in a short period of time, but the cost of Internet access can be controlled. As long as there are enough people using it, the cost will naturally be reduced after the cost is spread.

The major telecommunications companies in Da Mao are basically controlled by Rosiana and her family, so Wang Yecai said that he would take this report to Rosiana's grandfather Constantine to study it.

Sure enough, Rosiana's attention was drawn.

She nodded without hesitation and said happily: "No problem! I also think that the development of the domestic Internet is too slow. Look at those foreign Internet companies, many of them have grown into giants. But we only have three domestic companies. There are two pretty good Internet companies, the one with the best prospects is the one you invested in... No, it should be said that you invested in those companies."

Indeed, Wang Ye took advantage of the Internet winter a few years ago to directly acquire two of the best Russian Internet companies, even privatized them, and then integrated YANDEX and MAIL.RU.

Then a lot of additional investment was made, making this company a giant on the Russian Internet!

However, it is difficult for this company to develop in Europe and the United States. It can only be limited to Russian-speaking areas, so its development prospects are limited.

Facebook, a new company that has emerged in the past two years, has a bright future!

Under Wang Ye's investment and guidance, Facebook has begun to go global and has established joint ventures with Chinese partners and American partners.

Each is responsible for Facebook operations on the English Internet and Chinese Internet.

In order to avoid some risks in advance, Wang Ye even gave the controlling rights of the cooperative company to American and Chinese partners!

Although Facebook has not yet been officially listed, its valuation is already as high as more than 20 billion US dollars...

…………

After the two discussed it, Wang Ye began the formal process of applying to the Moscow State to purchase the Kalominsk Manor.

Of course, the purchase will not be made in a private name, but by a fund company controlled by Wang Ye personally, which will make the financial process more convenient.

Rosiana was also doing business and did not get involved. Instead, she let the relevant departments below discuss and make decisions on their own.

After some negotiations, Wang Ye bought the Kalominsk Manor for US$1.6 billion!

The price was lower than he expected.

After buying the manor, reconstruction work was put on the agenda, and Rosiana came forward at this time.

She volunteered herself to be responsible for the reconstruction of the manor. After all, this would be her "home" from now on, so of course she would be very attentive to it.

They spent a lot of money to hire the world's most famous architectural design firm, and several architectural design masters worked together to re-plan and design the Kalominsk Manor and prepare to start reconstruction work.

Of course, this is a big project and it is estimated that it will take about three years to complete the entire construction.

It just so happened that it was time for Wang Ye and Rosiana to get married...
