Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 249 The old acquaintance is promoted

Standing at one end of the conference table, Wang Ye spoke passionately.

The dozen or so employees below naturally nodded their heads repeatedly, and carefully recorded the boss's words with pens and paper.

Not to mention that Wang Ye's tone is too arrogant, just kidding, don't forget that the polar bear investment company still has a huge amount of US$20 billion lying on its books!
With so much money in hand, you will definitely not invest in some "stinky fish and rotten shrimp". The goal must only refer to companies with great potential, even industry leaders!
But when it comes to Russian Internet companies, there are really not many, especially when narrowing the scope to "potential monopoly"...

So, after Wang Ye finished speaking, some employees raised their hands and said:
"Although I haven't done detailed research, I usually use the Internet a lot.

Before coming to Polar Bear Investment Company, he worked in the investment department of Mr. Khovchenko's bank, so he has a fairly good understanding of Russian Internet companies.

In my personal opinion, there are only two Internet companies in Russia that meet your requirements.

One is Yandex and the other is MAIL.RU.

However, due to the sharp drop in stock prices last year, the situation of these two companies is not very good, and a large number of employees have left their jobs. At present, they are barely able to survive bankruptcy. "

The other employees also nodded one after another, expressing their support for his statement.

Speaking of these two companies, Wang Ye is no stranger.

It can be said that this can be regarded as the only two remaining strong Internet companies after the development of the Russian Internet.

Among them, Yandex started as a search engine. In the field of Russian search, it defeated Google, which can be regarded as saving the face of the Russian Internet.

As for MAIL.RU, the company started out as a web portal and e-mail.

These two companies are also listed on Nasdaq, but because last year, in 2000, when the global Internet bubble burst, their stock prices fell terribly.

One company's market value plummeted by 90.00%, and one company's market value plummeted by 90.00%. Seven...

According to the recollection of the boss of Yandex, he once thought that his company was the worst Internet company in the world at that time, because the market value fell directly from a billion dollars to 300 million dollars...

But in fact this is not the case, because from 2000 to 2004, the period of nearly five years was the darkest moment of the Internet industry, during which countless Internet companies closed down!
Those who can survive are basically pretty good.

In other words, Yandex and MAILRU, the two "faces" of the Russian Internet industry, currently have a market value of no more than $500 million!

From this level, it is also understandable why when Wang Ye said in front of the emperor that the Internet industry could change the world in the future, the emperor almost regarded him as an idiot.

These days, few people still have expectations for the Internet industry, especially investment companies!
…………

Hearing these two companies mentioned by his employees, Wang Ye's heart moved. Don't tell me, this time is the best time to buy Internet companies!

Industry leaders like Yandex and MAILRU can be included in the bag for just a few bucks.

Inspired by the words of the employees, Wang Ye also thought of two companies worth investing in, namely Penguin in China and Amazon in the United States!
In 2001, Penguin had not yet been listed, and it is estimated that Xiao Ma was still desperately looking for investment.

After all, we are in the "cold winter" of the Internet industry, and everyone's life is hard.

And Amazon, the biggest "star" in the Internet industry, also saw its stock price plummet last year, the company's market value plummeted, and it was a good time to officially buy the bottom!

However, there is no need for Wang Ye to tell his employees about these things for the time being. He just ordered: "I have heard about these two companies. You should first collect information and make preliminary contacts to see if they are interested in accepting investment."

In fact, if you really want to buy a company that has already been listed, there is no need to contact it at all, just go to the stock market to buy shares.

Because of the impact of the Internet bubble burst, there is no need to worry about not being able to buy shares. A lot of stocks are eager to sell, but no one takes over.

…………

After the meeting, Wang Ye didn't go back to his office, but went downstairs directly, intending to go to work at New Sun Group.

Now his daily schedule is quite tense.

The Kitty Eagle Group needs to visit from time to time, and the Polar Bear Investment Company must also set tasks and goals for everyone. As for the New Sun Group, there are many things there...

Hey, this is the trouble of the rich!

Especially for young people like Wang Ye whose career is still in the period of rapid growth, he can't be lazy at all. A lot of "old guys" are staring at him openly and secretly.

Whether it's for himself or others, Wang Ye can only work hard.

Just as he went downstairs, before getting into the car, Wang Ye unexpectedly ran into an "acquaintance"...

In fact, it can't be said that they are acquaintances, the two have only dealt with each other and met once or twice.

A police car with flashing police lights was parked in front of the office building. Wang Ye didn't pay attention at first. He bypassed the police car and prepared to go to the parking lot not far away. Xie Liaosha and others were waiting for him there.

As a result, the police car door was pushed open, and a man poked his head out and shouted, "Mr. Mikhail?"

Wang Ye stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look.

At the back of the police car, a middle-aged man in uniform was looking at him.

This guy looks familiar...

But I can't remember the name for a while.

Wang Ye was frowning and thinking about this person's name, when the middle-aged man in uniform got off the car and walked over.

He said with a smile on his face: "It's really you, Mr. Mikhail. I'm Flamir. Some time ago... I helped you with something."

Wang Ye suddenly remembered, it turned out to be the sheriff.

When Song Xiaogang had an accident, Wang Ye was looking for this person, and brought Song Xiaogang out.

Did not expect to meet here again.

He smiled and said, "I remember you, Sergeant Flamere, hello, I remember that your jurisdiction is not here, are you here for business?"

Indeed, Flamere is in charge of security in the Moda area, and since this area is close to the Red Square, it must not be his turn to take care of it.

Flamir said beamingly: "Mr. Mikhail, you may not know that I have recently changed my job and now I am in the Municipal Bureau, ha ha."

It turned out to be a promotion, no wonder!
Wang Ye knew it well, and guessed that the $50 he gave him last time played a big role in Flamere's promotion...

"Congratulations, Sergeant Flamere has outstanding abilities and is in the prime of life. He will definitely be promoted in the future and take up a more important position." Wang Ye congratulated him with a smile.

Wang Ye was also happy to hear about Flamir's promotion, as he was an acquaintance after all.
