Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 895 Let's make a move

Concentrating on a few days at the end of December, Wang Ye non-stop participated in the board of directors of several group companies.

Yukos Group, Gazprom Group, United Airlines Group, Russian Automobile Group, Polar Bear Investment Company, Siberia Gold, Kitty Hawk Group...

Among them, from the Yukos Group, Wang Ye received a staggering 28 billion dollars in dividends!

Gazprom is a little less, and he doesn't have many shares, so there are only US$[-] million.

Siberia Gold did nothing but get a dividend of [-] million US dollars.

Kitty Eagle Group gave Wang Ye a surprise, with a profit of US$2004 billion in 18!

After all, in this group company, because of the existence of the exclusive gambling card, there is no competitor at all, and the investment is low and the revenue is high!

Moreover, with the launch of ultra-luxury cruise ships and the opening of several new tourist routes, the tourism markets of many countries in Eurasia have been opened up, so the performance of the Kitty Hawk Group has grown very rapidly this year!

Although the overall size of this group is not large, it is indeed a rare cash cow, a real cash cow!

At the board meeting, after discussing with Ms. He and Constantine, Wang Ye plans to focus on the five-star hotel business and high-end shopping malls next year, that is, in 2005!
The gaming business is expensive and not expensive, and it has relatively large limitations. It would be nice to be able to manage the existing three gaming centers and a luxury cruise ship.

But five-star hotels and high-end shopping malls definitely have almost unlimited market space and imagination!
Moreover, the Kitty Hawk Group originally had the genes to be a hotel. The Kitty Hawk Hotel in Moscow was originally a high-end hotel...

As for the luxury business, the one that Nalan Yaqi started next to the Kitty Eagle Hotel will officially open next year, and it can be used as a pilot to see the effect.

If the effect is good, it will immediately expand to Petersburg, Yalta, and even Kiefu.

These cities are all their own "territories", and the location of the land they want is basically a matter of Wang Ye's words!
The five-star hotel business is even easier. Now the group has several hotels that have opened and are actually being renovated. If the service standard is further improved, and those that need renovation are redecorated, that’s fine.

In the future, if Kitty Eagle Group wants to enter the Asian market, hotels and high-end shopping malls are the real core business!
After comprehensive evaluation, Wang Ye decided that the Kitty Eagle Group will no longer distribute dividends this year, and use all the profits for business expansion.

In the next year, it is planned to build three new high-end shopping malls, which will be located in Peterborough, Crimea and Kiefau respectively.

And upgrade the five existing and under construction hotels to five-star standards!
Then buy or build a five-star hotel in Kifu.

If the funds are insufficient, then appropriate loans and financing can be provided, and even a new local shareholder can be considered in Uzbekistan.

There are ready-made candidates, and Yulia is the most suitable one, not one of them...

Ms. He and Constantine expressed no objection and fully supported Wang Ye's decision.

After rapid expansion next year, Kitty Eagle Group will truly become a giant company integrating gaming, accommodation and shopping in the entire Eastern European region!
This is in line with Wang Ye's positioning for this group company.

…………

Except for those group companies with huge dividends, the remaining companies, such as Polar Bear Investment, Russian Automobile Group, United Airlines, and Crimean Investment, are all "difficult households".

Needless to say, the two investment companies have different natures. At this stage, Wang Ye still needs to continue to invest money in it, and it is far from the time to reap the benefits.

Among them, Polar Bear Investment Company does not need to invest additional funds for the time being, because there are no projects in the market that Wang Ye can fancy to invest in, and there are still a lot of remaining funds in the company's account.

What they have to do is to continue to follow up on those projects that have already been invested, or provide professional advice and services when Wangye needs to make new investments.

Crimei Investment Company is a big money swallower, and the demand for funds is almost bottomless!
Wang Ye did some calculations. He has received a total of 48 billion dollars in dividends this year. Of course, this money cannot be directly deposited into his personal account, and he would have to pay too much tax!

Directly let professional financial institutions allocate and invest all the money.

Of course, some of these investments also require more cumbersome procedures and bypass certain regulations...

But there is no need for Wang Ye to worry about it. Why do you have so many people under him?

It is enough to leave professional matters to professionals, and he only needs to issue instructions.

After thinking about it, Wang Ye added an additional one billion US dollars to the Crimei Investment Company, and continued to inject another 20 billion US dollars into Zhang Xiaoxi's asset management company!

There is no way, Zhang Xiaoxi wants to build a large-scale commercial complex, which is an absolutely asset-heavy project that requires a huge amount of capital investment!

Even if it is possible to carry out loan financing with local financial institutions, the self-owned funds should not be too small, otherwise the risk will be great.

Therefore, Wang Ye would rather invest more and borrow less, and be steady and steady.

In addition, Wang Ye also invested an additional US$[-] million in the Russian Automobile Group, allowing Katya to build sales channels and do publicity and promotion.

The remaining 15 billion US dollars also has a place to go.

Wang Ye intends to attack again and make a big acquisition!

As long as this acquisition is successful, he will have a greater say in the world's energy field!
………………

It stands to reason that there is no need for Constantine to come to the Kitty Hawk Group's year-end meeting in person.

Apparently, coming to the meeting was just a cover, his real purpose was to meet Wang Ye, because there was an important matter that he wanted to settle with Wang Ye.

After the group meeting was over, Constantine took Wang Ye to the big office on the top floor for a secret talk.

Without going around in circles, as soon as he sat down, Constantine said seriously: "Misha, there is a big project, I don't know if you are interested or not."

Wang Ye asked with a smile, "Which aspect?"

"Siberia Coal Group! In the past two years, this company has acquired almost all large domestic coal mines and integrated the coal industry. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is close to domestic coal resources!" Konstantin replied.

Wang Ye frowned, Siberia Coal Group...

Of course he is familiar with this name, and it is indeed one of the giant companies in the Russian energy industry.

Of course, the price of coal is not high these days. Compared with oil and natural gas, coal is not so eye-catching.

In addition, although Russia's coal resources are not bad, it can be ranked among the top five in the world, but that is only a proven amount and has not yet been developed, so the overall volume is not very large.

Therefore, Wang Ye did not set his sights on this industry. He had more important things to do.

But now, according to Constantine, has he found an entry point to acquire the Siberia Coal Group?

"Who is behind this company?" Wang Ye asked cautiously.

On Damao's side, not to mention energy giants, any company with a large scale has a background that is not so simple!

Before you want to take action against a certain company, you must first check the background of the other party clearly.

Otherwise, if the other party's background is too strong, not only will they not be able to make a profit, but they will also easily break their teeth...

Konstantin smiled slightly, "Kasyanov!"

Wang Ye suddenly realized, no wonder Konstantin suddenly wants to attack Siberia Coal now, it turns out that the backstage of this company has collapsed...

He was a little hesitant, and he planned to win over Kasyanov later. If he really went to engage in Siberian coal, wouldn't he offend others.

Seemingly seeing Wang Ye's thoughts, Constantine explained again:

"After Kasyanov stepped down, Siberian Coal has recently been eager to find a new backer.

As far as I know, they frequently contact the core figures of the Petersburg faction, hoping to get the opportunity to enter the Kremlin.

But, there hasn't been much progress yet, that is to say, the Kremlin has not yet recognized this company.

So now is the best window period!
If we don't do it now, we won't be able to do it again when they get close to the Kremlin. "

Wang Ye nodded, the old fox Konstantin is really scheming!
Steady and ruthless style of work!
As he said, Kasyanov was in power before, so it was really difficult to move this company.

In the future, if this company really gets close to the Kremlin, it will be even more difficult to touch it.

Then this period of time is the "gap period", there is no backer behind it, and it is at the weakest time node of "abandoning darkness and turning to light".

The resistance to attacking it will be much smaller...

So, the key question now is whether it is worth spending energy and money to acquire Siberia Coal Group!

Wang Ye was not in a hurry to speak, but took out the cigarette case casually, lit a black Russian, rested his chin in one hand, held the cigarette in the other, and thought deeply.

…………

He didn't think about the problems that would come with the acquisition.

Just kidding, with my current strength, as long as the opponent doesn't have a big backer like Ke Gong standing behind him.

In other words, they are from the same faction as me, and the relationship is relatively close, so I am too embarrassed to do it.

Then it's impossible to fix it!

The only thing to consider is whether it is worth it!

Wang Ye is not very familiar with coal, and Russia's coal industry is far less famous than its oil and natural gas.

Many people are more familiar with Australian coal, or Indonesian coal, or even Mongolian coal...

But Wang Ye's economic committee director is not in vain. According to the information he has seen, the proven reserves of coal in Russia can be ranked fifth in the world.

In 2004, it has occupied nearly [-]% of the global coal market.

If we increase investment and increase production, we should be able to account for [-]% to [-]% of the global coal market.

If you look at it this way, it already has strategic value!
It's worth doing it yourself...

After thinking about these things clearly, Wang Ye snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, raised his head and said lightly: "Then let's do it."

This sentence means that he has agreed to Constantine's suggestion and intends to join forces with Constantine to acquire the Siberia Coal Group!

Konstantin was overjoyed, and quickly probed and said, "Then you should send someone for this matter..."

Wang Ye said with a smile: "To set up a new company, the funds go to the offshore company for a while and then come back. It is best for people to not be able to see who the controlling shareholder is from the books.

However, if you really come forward to buy, you still have to let the other party know.

You do it.

It's not very convenient for me to come forward. "

Of course, it is inconvenient for Wang Ye to come forward to acquire the Siberia Coal Group by himself. It is different from the time when he acquired the Siberia Petroleum Company. At that time, he had no official position and was purely commercial!

Now, when most people see him, the first thing they think of is not his business status, but the "deputy speaker", "party leader", "committee director"...

Moreover, it is easier to leave a story and attract criticism from political opponents.

So he specifically asked Constantine to hide the source of the funds, and it was best not to expose him.

Constantine naturally understood, nodded and said simply: "Of course! But... what if the other party refuses to buy?"

Why Wang Ye was brought in to do this, of course not because Wang Ye is his "grandson-in-law".

Constantine is a person who "distinguishes between public and private". The reason why he brought Wang Ye together to make this acquisition is so that when the acquisition encounters difficulties, someone can solve the difficulty...

Wang Ye smiled slightly, "We don't want to take advantage of the other party, let's give him a fair market price. But if the other party doesn't know what is good and evil, we must reject our kindness, that is toast and not eat or drink. I will solve it. "

What I want is his words!

Constantine smiled heartily:
"That's all right, the boss of the Siberian Coal Group is called Menichenko.

This guy has done a lot of business, with banks, fertilizers, and steel businesses under his banner.

There are his bank outlets on many streets in Moscow, providing currency exchange services.

Oh, and last year he spent $[-] million to customize a private yacht.

It can be seen that he made a lot of money. "

He was telling Wang Ye the information about the boss of the Siberia Group, Menichenko...

Of course, there is no need for him to say, Wang Ye gave an order, and within a few days, Menichenko, from birth to the present, the whole family, whether there is an illegitimate child, what color underwear he likes to wear...

All information related to Menichenko will be collected and placed in front of Wang Ye!

If Menichenko really does not accept a relatively "reasonable" purchase price and wants to break his wrist, then Wang Ye will teach him how to behave...

To be honest, it does feel like a bit of a bully to propose an acquisition when the Siberia Coal Group has no backer. This is called taking advantage of others.

But Wang Ye didn't have any psychological burden.

He is very clear that these days, none of the energy and finance companies in Damao is "clean"!

Oligarchs, big and small, whether they engage in mergers and acquisitions or cooperate with each other, are nothing more than big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating dried shrimps.

At the very least, after this coal group is acquired by Wang Ye, he will try his best to expand the scale and provide more jobs.

They will also pay taxes honestly and even assume more social responsibilities.

Wouldn't it be better to leave the company to the oligarchs and let them transfer the money they earn abroad to spend their time drinking, buying super yachts, private jets?
