Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

On the top floor of the Yukos Group Building, in Hovchenko's office.

In the large and somewhat empty room, only Wang Ye and Hovchenko sat facing each other.

Hovchenko was holding a cup of coffee, and Wang Ye had a cigarette in his hand.

After listening to Wang Ye's story, Hovchenko fell into deep thought.

He also felt that this matter was not that simple, at least not what it seemed on the surface.

After a while, Hovchenko took the phone, signaled to Wang Ye, got up and walked to the next room.

Wang Ye understood that Hovchenko should go to some of his connections to verify this matter.

It's not that he can't trust himself, but the stakes are so high that Hovchenko has to be more cautious.

And with his connections, he might be able to find out things he doesn't know yet.

About ten minutes later, Hovchenko came back with a gloomy face, sat on the sofa, picked up the coffee cup, and put it to his mouth. He did not drink it, but was just thinking about something.

It seems that after he verified it, things are not optimistic.

Wang Ye broke the silence and asked: "If the export rights are really restricted, will the harm to the group be great? Is it too great to bear?"

Hovchenko smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "If we really lose the right to export, the group's revenue will drop by at least half. As for the net profit, it depends on how much charity others give. But it is conceivable that since others want to It will definitely not leave us much profit. Think about it, how much domestic crude oil consumption we can have, and the oil price is so low, it is almost a charity and not profitable. If you want to make money, you still have to rely on exports. ?"

Also, here in Russia, the price of oil is so cheap that it feels like it’s free!

When buying a car, no one pays attention to fuel consumption...

Therefore, if a giant crude oil company like Yukos relies solely on the domestic market, it will really have no choice but to rely on the northwest wind.

Don’t even think about net profits of tens of billions like last year!

Wang Ye took a long drag on his cigarette, put out the remaining half of the cigarette in the ashtray, and said unhappily: "Then let them submit it to the Duma, and I will take care of it!"

That's what he said, but in fact Wang Ye was not confident enough to stop this matter in Duma.

Although he is the director of the Economic Committee, he does not have the final say in the Duma alone.

Don't forget, he is just the deputy speaker and the leader of the third faction.

Even Grezlov, who is the Speaker and the leader of the first faction, dare not say that he can dominate the Duma.

After all, there are too many hills within the Duma, and the entanglement of interests is too deep.

If this matter was really driven by the Kremlin, then some major factions within the first faction should have reached an agreement.

This is beyond Gryzlov's control.

As for Wang Ye, he just said angry words.

…………

Of course, Hovchenko also understood this. He shook his head and persuaded: "Misha, don't be impulsive. The situation is not that bad. I think your assistant is right. It should be that the other party has some concerns, so he wants to take this matter to the next level." Push it to the Duma to resolve. This way we can occupy a favorable position legally and morally without having to bear the pressure of international public opinion. Because of this, we still have a chance."

Wang Ye said in a muffled voice: "Then...can we really just break up the equity? Wouldn't this be jumping into the other party's trap? Maybe their real intention is not to take away our export rights. But do you want to control the equity of Yukos Group?”

This is the question that Wang Ye just thought of!

Perhaps, things are more complicated than imagined.

Could others not think of what I thought of?

When you get to the top, there are no stupid people. Everyone is smarter than the other!

Hovchenko smiled slightly and said confidently: "Of course I won't let them get what they want. My plan is like this..."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and told Wang Ye what he was going to do.

After listening, Wang Ye's face was full of disbelief, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "This won't work! If I really do this, wouldn't it be like I'm taking advantage of the situation? What will others think of me? And I really don't care about Yukos Group. What do you think, uncle, please don’t misunderstand me.”

It turned out that Hovchenko's solution was to reorganize Yukos Group, change the original equity structure, and introduce new shareholders!

After the reorganization, Wang Ye transformed and became the largest shareholder of Yukos Group, holding 35% of the group's shares!

Hovchenko will only retain 25% of the shares and become the second largest shareholder.

Gazprom still retains 20% of its shares and is still the third largest shareholder.

As for the remaining 20% ​​of the shares, two to three new shareholders will be introduced, which must be European and American capital, preferably a large group that is very influential in the world.

In this way, if others want to deal with the Yukos Group, they will first have to face Wang Ye, the deputy speaker of the Duma, and then they will have to face the pressure of international public opinion.

Those big European and American conglomerates will not be used to your bad habits.

If you dare to harm other people's interests, they can incite the parliament and government of the country where you are to come to trouble you, or even take you to the international court!

…………

Although Wang Ye, the deputy speaker, does not sound like a strong enough deterrent.

But in this case, it cannot be underestimated.

You know, he is the most dazzling "new star" in the current political arena, and he is a young man that the Kremlin is very optimistic about.

Then comes the problem.

After Wang Ye becomes the major shareholder of Yukos Group, will the Kremlin or the first faction still have the nerve to take action against Yukos Group?

Because that would be tantamount to turning against Wang Ye!

This depends on Wang Ye's status in the minds of those in Ke Palace, whether it is important or not!

If in Puding's mind, Wang Ye is more important than the entire Yukos Group, then he will not take action against the Yukos Group in the future.

But if Wang Ye is insignificant in Puding's heart, or if the weight is not too important, then he still has to consider the new shareholders introduced by Yukos Group.

Those old consortiums in Europe and the United States!

After all, in the past few years, the overall thinking here at Maozi has been "pro-Western"!

Why did they not come to Yukos explicitly this time? Obviously they also have concerns in this regard.

…………

Regarding Wang Ye's refusal, Hovchenko said calmly:

"Misha, you also know that Yukos Group will be handed over to you sooner or later.

Even if nothing happened this time, it would still be the same. It’s just a little bit ahead of schedule now.

Besides, those shares are not given to you for free. You have to compensate me in other ways.

I think your Crime Investment Company is doing well. How about replacing it with shares of that company? "

Thanks to "Eggs under the Red Flag" for the reward!
