Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 647 The Largest Financing
Therefore, after the group reorganization this time, the listing has also been put on the agenda.

It was Hovchenko who personally introduced the listing plan.

"The group company plans to issue 600 million new shares for listing and financing. After the additional issuance, the company's total share capital will be one billion shares, and the original shareholders will account for a total of [-] million shares in proportion. According to the professional advice given by BlackRock, we The company's valuation can probably come to about [-] billion US dollars..."

Originally, Wang Ye accounted for 35%, Khovchenko 25%, Gazprom 20%, BlackRock 10%, Allianz and CICC 5% each.

But if it goes public smoothly, with those additional shares issued, the proportion of shares in the hands of shareholders will be diluted.

That is, each person's shareholding ratio is multiplied by 0.8.

It turned out that Wangye shares accounted for 26%, Khovchenko 20%, Gazprom 16%, BlackRock 8%, Allianz and CICC 4% each.

If the valuation is based on 600 billion US dollars, then the newly issued 120 million new shares will be able to raise [-] billion US dollars!

This is a huge sum of money.

But in fact, if it weren't for the current complicated situation, Hovchenko and Wang Ye really didn't want the group company to go public.

How good it is to make a fortune silently. As long as there are no problems with a few shareholders, it will be difficult for outsiders to understand the internal affairs of the group, such as revenue and profit. After listing, the group company will become very transparent.

However, after weighing the pros and cons, Hovchenko still decided to list the company, and Wang Ye also agreed.

Because if you do this, it can be regarded as an extra "talisman"!

The valuation of US$600 billion is not too high for Yukos Group to be honest.

But there is no other way. The valuation of companies in this traditional industry is generally not too high. The price-earnings ratio is incomparable with high-tech Internet companies.

"When the company goes public successfully, President Mikhail and Mr. Khovchenko must come to New York to ring the bell, because this will be the largest IPO financing in recent years!" BlackRock representative said excitedly.

Wang Ye didn't ask too much about the specific operation of listing.

This is in conjunction with the reorganization of the company's shares, and it is all handled by Hovchenko.

Wang Ye's energy is focused on more important things.

That is to deal with the pressure from the "official face"...

As for going to ring the bell when it goes public, Wang Ye may find an excuse not to go when the time comes, because his identity is too sensitive.

In addition, he is not interested in Laomei's side. After the "shadow" of last time, he always feels that there is no way to deal with him, so he can't go if he can.

…………

Today's board meeting took a long time.

From the morning until after five o'clock in the afternoon, even lunch was simply settled in the group's internal restaurant.

A lot of things were decided at the meeting, involving redistribution of equity, replacement of chairman and president, listing of the company, etc.

Of course, it is just to make some directional discussions and decisions. For specific things, a special team needs to be organized after the meeting.

Just like going public, a few of them make a decision in a few words.

But in fact, going public is a big project!

Even if there is a giant in the American financial market like BlackRock to back it up, it still needs a lot of procedures to go through.

However, judging from the financial situation of Yukos Group, there must be no suspense to go public. After all, the stock market of every country strives for such a super high-quality company.

It will also provide a lot of convenience during the application process.

…………

It was almost six o'clock, and the door of the large conference room was pushed open.

Representatives of shareholders came out in twos and threes, and Wang Ye and Khovchenko shook hands with each representative to say goodbye.

After sending everyone away, Khovchenko smiled and said to Wang Ye, "Go, go to my office... No, it should be your office, and I will use that office in the future."

After giving up the positions of chairman of the board of directors and president, Khovchenko will only serve as a director in Yukos Group, and he told Wang Ye that he will completely withdraw from the management affairs of the group company.

It is tantamount to handing over the management right of the company to Wang Ye!
As for what Hovchenko is going to do, Wang Ye certainly understands, but he can't stop it...

When they came to Hovchenko's big office, the two sat down by the sofa in the reception area.

The secretary brought coffee for the two of them, and then withdrew, leaving only two of them in the office.

Picking up the white and delicate bone china coffee cup, Hovchenko sighed after taking a sip of the coffee.

Wang Ye smiled and asked, "What's the matter, Uncle?"

Hovchenko shook his head and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm about to leave Yukos Group suddenly, and I feel a little empty and uncomfortable. After all, I have been working in the group company for the past ten years. To be honest, the time I was in the company , than how much time I spend at home. I spend more time and energy on work than on my family.”

Also, it can be said that the Yukos Group was brought to its current scale by Khovchenko.

On this company, Hovchenko has paid too much effort.

Now that he has resigned from the positions of chairman and president, and will not even focus on this in the future, he is indeed a bit reluctant.

Wang Ye quickly said: "Uncle, you are no longer the chairman and president, but you still need to pay more attention to the company's affairs. Especially in the past few years, when I just took over, I am not so familiar with many things."

Hovchenko shook his head and said with a smile: "Anyway, I will try my best to meddle in the affairs of the group as little as possible in the future. Since I leave it to you, I am relieved. Let's do something that I have wanted to do for a long time. It is estimated that when it gets busy over there, it will be too late. There’s no time for both sides.”

This is the end of the story, Wang Ye naturally knows what the "over there" thing refers to.

However, he really didn't know how Hovchenko got involved in politics, how he started, and how he developed.

Because the purpose of Hovchenko entering the political arena is absolutely different from that of Wang Ye.

It was already an unexpected surprise for Wang Ye to be the deputy speaker and the director of the economic committee, and he would not expect much in the future.

But what Hovchenko wants is definitely different.

His goal was to run for that chair in the Kremlin!
So it is impossible to start with a small member of parliament, that would be too slow, as you can see from Gryzlov and Zhirinov.

It is too difficult to win the championship by relying on the road of the Duma.

Therefore, the path Hovchenko took must be a "shortcut", and he will hit that "throne" in two years!
Because two years later, there will be a general election...

After hesitating for a while, Wang Ye still asked curiously: "Uncle, when you enter the political arena, do you plan to start from the Duma, or run for election directly? By the way, which faction do you plan to join? Or come to our third faction?" alright."
