Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 702 He made money

Regarding the tax increase, Wang Ye did not engage in a "sneak attack". Before coming, he asked Rosiana to vent her anger on the family.

Sure enough, when Wang Ye mentioned this matter, Constantine nodded frankly.

He twisted his hair and said: "You all go down, I will have a chat with Speaker Mikhail alone."

Everyone, including Rosiana and her parents, retreated, leaving only Wang Ye and Constantine sitting in the huge living room.

Constantine was not in a hurry to speak, but got up and fetched a small cigar box, opened the box, took out two thick cigars, and handed one to Wang Ye and one to himself.

Obviously, he knew something about Wang Ye. He knew that Wang Ye smoked and occasionally smoked cigars.

Wang Ye was not polite either, the two of them cut open their cigars, lit them and started smoking.

After taking a few puffs, Constantine took a long breath and said, "In principle, I agree with this taxation plan, after all, the tax increase is also used to increase the birth rate, which is of great benefit to the country. "

Wang Ye knew that he must have something to say later, so he didn't rush to reply.

After a pause, Constantine said again: "However, I can't just agree to this matter so easily.

Because this will set a very bad precedent. If I agree easily this time, then in the future, if the country is short of money, will it have to increase taxes again?

It is easy to increase taxes, but it is difficult to lower them again.

Misha, you are also in business, and you understand how difficult it is for a large group company to maintain a good operation.

Perhaps the company has made a lot of money in the past few years, but after a few years, can it still make that much money?
Moreover, our communication industry is very different from your energy industry.

As for the energy industry, everyone knows that after the initial investment, the latter is like a money printing machine, making money with eyes closed.

Earn more and earn less, it only depends on the national oil price trend.

But the communication industry is not so happy. This industry looks very profitable on the surface, but the investment is huge!
Still need to keep investing.

In recent years, communications and networks have developed rapidly, and technology iterations have also been rapid.

As for communication, we need to frequently upgrade the supporting hardware facilities. Every update is a very large investment.

And these investments are needed every few years, especially when there is a major upgrade, it is almost necessary to replace the entire basic hardware.

All the money I earned was spent on this..."

Constantine talked a lot, and Wang Ye listened very carefully.

It cannot be denied that what Constantine said is also true. In terms of the ease of making money, the communication industry is indeed inferior to the energy industry.

But at the same time, Wang Ye also knew that Constantine had exaggerated, otherwise, why would every country's communication industry be a giant company and make a lot of money.

After all, Constantine just wanted to make some quid pro quo.

He is not willing to pay for nothing, as he said, this precedent cannot be easily set.

Otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble in the future.

This time, Wang Ye and the others came up with a plan to boost the fertility rate, and they needed money, so they asked these big companies to "beg for alms" and levy a wave of taxes.

Then tomorrow, other departments or congressmen will come up with a new plan, which is also a great thing for the country and the people, and it has no money to use. Can we also find these companies to levy another wave of taxes?

Come and go again and again, even if you make more money, you can't stand such a toss...

So Constantine had to take the shelf.

Give, but not all!
…………

At the end, Constantine fixed his eyes on Wang Ye, and said in an emphatic tone: "The reason why I agreed to impose tariffs this time is for your own sake. If Gryzlov initiated this matter, then I will not Will not consider!

However, I have supported your work, and accordingly, I have to get something in return. "

Wang Ye asked calmly: "Thank you, Mr. Constantine, for supporting my work. If you want anything in return, you might as well just say it and listen."

Konstantin suddenly showed a smile on his face, "As far as I know, Gazprom has a plan to expand its shares and raise funds within this year. How about we jointly invest and take a stake in Gazprom?"

Wang Ye was taken aback for a moment, he didn't even know about this!

But it's normal when you think about it. After all, the Constantine family is directly connected to the Kremlin. It's not surprising that there are things that haven't been announced before you know.

But this is a bit wrong, isn't it? Gazprom is a giant in the field of natural gas, and it's very rich!
What is the reason for its share expansion and financing, and it is not short of money.

Perhaps seeing Wang Ye's surprise, Konstantin explained: "This matter is still in the making, because Gazprom's current shareholding ratio is too much state-owned. So some people raised objections , think that the proportion of state-owned holdings should be diluted, so as to reflect our economic liberalization and better meet international standards."

There was a bit of sarcasm in his tone, obviously a bit disdainful of this statement.

But again, he supports it.

Otherwise, how could he have the opportunity to invest in Gazprom!
Everyone knows that as long as such a giant energy company can buy shares, there is no need to consider the rate of return at all!

It is impossible not to make money!

Not to mention losing money, that doesn't exist.

The reason why Wang Ye was brought in was obviously that the shareholding battle should be quite fierce this time.

Just relying on the Constantine family and their friendship with the Kremlin is not enough.

But if Wang Ye, a hot new star in the political arena, can be recruited, the chances of winning will be much greater.

What he valued was not Wang Ye's title of deputy speaker, but the director of the economic committee!
If Gazprom wants to expand its shares for financing or equity restructuring, it must go through the Duma, especially the Economic Committee, which will play a huge role in it.

It can be said that if the new shareholder is not in the interests of Wang Ye, then he is fully capable of vetoing the group's share expansion financing plan.

…………

After Wang Ye wanted to understand the link, he couldn't help but be convinced that the old fox, Constantine, was really shrewd in his calculations.

First sell yourself in taxation to save face and favor.

Then he immediately pulled himself to buy a stake in Gazprom, using his influence to make sure he could succeed in the stake.

After becoming a shareholder of Gazprom, the annual dividends since then have been a considerable amount.

It is estimated that it can not only make up for the tax increase, but also have ample...

This inside and outside, he made money numb.

But this is not a bad thing for Wang Ye, and he is happy to see it come true.

To be honest, if Konstantin hadn't taken the lead, Wang Ye wouldn't have participated in the financing of Gazprom's stock expansion.

He is afraid of trouble!

　It will be September soon, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass.
