Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 475 Another chore
On March 3, Khovchenko finished his trip to Asia and returned to Moscow.

Without taking a break, he called Wang Ye over.

As soon as we met, Hovchenko immediately asked, "I heard that you invested 100 billion in the Crimea Peninsula? Are you crazy! Is there any industry in that place worth investing so much money in? Besides, can you really get money?" So much money to invest?"

Although the tone was harsh, it was clear that Hovchenko said this out of concern.

Wang Ye sat down unhurriedly, took out his cigarette case and lit one, took a deep breath, and then responded: "Uncle, have you forgotten the gold mine I partnered with Abu? The dividends from the mine should almost cover Crimea’s investment in ten years’ time.”

Hovchenko paused, seeming to have just remembered this, but he still said angrily: "Isn't it good to use so much money to buy some oil fields? If there is really nowhere to invest, go buy shares of Gazprom and get dividends every year." It's also very good."

Obviously, in the eyes of people like Hovchenko, perhaps the current Russia is worth doing in the energy industry.

The rest of the industry is not worth mentioning!
So he couldn't understand Wang Ye's approach. After all, Wang Ye hadn't communicated with him in detail before.

There are some things that Gobrev can understand, but Khovchenko cannot understand.

"Hey, it's okay. Uncle, how is your trip to China, Japan and South Korea going? Is there any progress?" Wang Ye asked, changing the subject.

Speaking of this, Khovchenko lay on the sofa with a tired face, reached out to Wang Ye and said, "Give me a cigarette."

Wang Ye quickly took out a cigarette, "snapped" the lighter, and lit it for him.

Hovchenko seldom smokes. Obviously, he was very tired after going out for inspection this time, and he had just returned to Moscow and hadn't rested yet, so he smoked a cigarette to relieve his fatigue.

"It still has some effect. I communicated with the relevant departments in China. They are very interested. In addition, they are also discussing natural gas with Gazprom. If possible, they will release our oil and Gazprom's natural gas. Let's think about it together. However, this matter involves too much and requires a lot of investment, and it is estimated that it will not be settled in a short time."

Khovchenko briefly introduced his trip to China.

This is also very normal. Commodity trading is definitely not a retail purchase and retail sale, so there is no need for Hovchenko to come forward in person.

What he was going to talk about this time must be a long-term supply contract, the kind with an astonishing amount.

However, this kind of contract cannot be negotiated once or twice. You can see that the Gazprom contract has not been finalized after so many years of negotiation.

Wang Ye nodded, and when he was about to say something, Hovchenko said another word, which startled him.

"I'll leave this matter to you to follow up. Isn't your Chinese very good, and it's also convenient to communicate with the other party. As a director, don't just get paid and don't work. This kind of big business negotiation belongs to you. Job responsibilities," Hovchenko said with a smile.

Wang Ye was stunned for a while, why did this matter fall on his head again.

It's not that I can't give it to myself, but my identity, going to negotiate with relevant domestic departments, will it be "exposed"...

Obviously, for the negotiation of such a super large order, the relevant domestic departments will definitely do very detailed investigations and preparations. If you are the principal, you will definitely enter the other party's field of vision, and you will definitely investigate your background. ...

Wang Ye feels that his true identity cannot be concealed in front of relevant domestic departments.

He asked Hovchenko with a wry smile: "My identity... Uncle, have you forgotten? I should avoid suspicion of such things!"

Hovchenko was taken aback for a moment, and almost didn't realize what Wang Ye was saying, but he soon understood.

Laughing dumbly, he patted himself on the forehead and said, "Oh, I'm so tired and confused, I almost forgot your Chinese identity. Don't tell me, if you didn't mention this, I would have forgotten that you are a Chinese It's a matter of people!"

Indeed, with Wang Ye's more and more dazzling performance, Hovchenko has long regarded him as his "nephew".

Although he also intends to use Wang Ye, he really cares and trusts Wang Ye.

If Wang Ye didn't do anything to betray him, he really planned to hand over the Yukos Group to Wang Ye's management.

Even if his children's ability cannot satisfy him in the future, he doesn't plan to let his children work in Yukos Group, but let Wang Ye manage it all the time.

As for my family members, it would be nice to just be a behind-the-scenes shareholder honestly...

"That's right, it shouldn't be appropriate for me to come forward." Wang Ye said hastily.

He really doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. The things in Moscow are enough for him to have a headache. If he is found by the country again, it will be a big trouble!

It's not good to make a fortune in silence, he doesn't want to show any limelight.

"No, no, I don't think so. It's because you have an extra layer of identity, but it is more suitable to talk about this cooperation. After the other side knows your identity, it will definitely be easier to talk, because it is your identity. This middleman is the most suitable, and both parties trust you." Hovchenko shook his head and smiled.

"Ah? Then aren't you worried that I will harm the company's interests?" Wang Ye said unwillingly.

"You won't. In addition, this kind of cooperation also needs to be discussed and approved by the board of directors. You alone have no right to directly determine the terms of cooperation." Hovchenko said calmly.

Wang Ye was speechless.

Because there is nothing wrong with what Hovchenko said, even if he "steals from the inside out" and signs the contract at a super favorable price for the country, if the Yukos board of directors does not approve it, the contract will not be implemented.

So my dual identity has become a "lubricant", and both sides trust me more, maybe it can really promote this cooperation.

In the end, he could only say helplessly: "Well, leave this matter to me."

Hovchenko patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't act reluctantly. If you really negotiate this cooperation, your prestige in Yukos Group will further increase. When you take over the company in the future, It will also reduce a lot of resistance, because everyone will recognize your ability!"

Now that this is all said and done, what else can Wang Ye say...

Fortunately, it is estimated that this cooperation will not be negotiated for a while, and it is normal to delay it for a year or two or even several years.

In addition, Wang Ye did not intend to discuss this matter alone.

He intends to take a "free ride", that is, let the government come forward to host the talks, and he can make suggestions later...
