Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 753 Quietly
Katya's side leading the acquisition team was busy, and Wang Ye's side was not idle either.

On April 4, Gazprom held a board of directors, and after voting by all shareholders' representatives, the share reform plan was formally determined.

The original largest shareholder of the group, that is, state-owned assets, sold 30.00% of its shares to a local investment company in Russia, an investment company from the United States, and an oil company from a certain Asian country.

The company's value is estimated at $400 billion.

Just the transfer of 30.00% of the shares allowed the state-owned assets to recover US$120 billion in cash!

After the share reorganization, the new shareholders of Gazprom Group are as follows:
State-owned assets account for 40.00% of the shares and are still the largest shareholder, but they are no longer an absolute controlling shareholder.

In the future, the new chairman of the group company will also be voted on by all representatives of the board of directors, and will not be appointed by the government.

This greatly weakens the "state-owned enterprise" color of Gazprom.

The three new shareholders who entered the market each hold [-]% of the shares.

For the remaining 30.00%, the composition of shareholders is more complicated. There are several financial institutions in Russia, energy companies, and some individuals hold shares.

However, these shareholders do not hold many shares. Compared with the top four shareholders, they have much less say in the board of directors.

In the new board of directors, Wang Ye did not show up, and few people even knew that he also invested in Gazprom this time.

Constantine also did not show up, but only appointed a professional manager to the new board of directors of Gazprom Group as a director, also a shareholder representative.

Although the investment company established by him and Wang Ye was registered in Russia, the investor behind it was rather mysterious. They invested in it through an offshore company outside the country.

No one pays attention to this anyway.

You should know, you already know who the boss behind this investment company is.

What they shouldn't know, firstly they don't care about it, secondly, even if they want to know the background of this investment company, they don't have the ability to find out the ins and outs.

The news of Gazprom's shareholding restructuring was not widely publicized.

Even on the TV news, it was just a short text message that jumped over, and people who didn't pay special attention would not notice it.

As for the newspapers and magazines, it is even more inconspicuous.

Even if there are newspapers and magazines that report, they basically publish a short news like a tofu block in the supplement.

Either way, the news was ignored intentionally or unintentionally.

…………

"Cheers! Congratulations on our successful investment in Gazprom. According to the company's current operating conditions, our investment will be fully recovered in eight to ten years at most. Its annual dividends are quite large, haha."

Constantine raised his red wine glass and said to Wang Ye with a smile on his face.

Although he did not appear on Gazprom's board of directors, he has been commanding behind the scenes.

Now that the dust has finally settled, and you're done, I'm naturally very happy.

It can be said that recently, the two investments of the Constantine family have made him very satisfied.

A stake in Gazprom Group is considered one, and the other is naturally a stake in Wangye's Kitty Eagle Group.

In particular, these two companies are the kind of companies with very abundant cash flow and high dividends, and the return on investment is ridiculously high!
"The price of natural gas will continue to rise. Believe me, it will take less than ten years. It is estimated that our investment will be recovered in about five years." Wang Ye said with a smile.

Of course he also has confidence in Gazprom.

Natural gas is "just needed"!
When the global economy recovers, industrial demand will also surge, and natural gas prices will be much higher than they are now.

The price is high, and the cost of mining and transportation has not increased, or the increase has been minimal, doesn't it mean that the profit has risen sharply!
Therefore, in a few years, Gazprom Group will be more profitable than it is now.

As for Wang Ye's judgment, Constantine naturally would not doubt it.

The smile on his face grew brighter.

"Oh, yes, I heard that Abramovich recently acquired a Premier League club in the British peninsula. Is he planning to settle in London?" Constantine asked casually.

He and Abu also know each other, but the relationship is not very close. After all, the industries they operate are completely different.

"Yes, in fact, not only did he buy a Premier League club, but I also bought one. After a while, there should be news." Wang Ye said with a smile.

This not only made Constantine stunned for a moment, but Rosiana, who was sitting next to Wang Ye, was also taken aback.

Because neither of them had heard of it.

The matter of Wangye's acquisition of the Arsenal club has always been carried out in secret.

At the beginning, Abu helped to build the line and lead the bridge. When things became clear, he handed it over to Katja and led a professional team to take over.

Rossiana didn't know about it.

"Ah? You bought a Premier League club! When did it happen?" Rosiana exclaimed.

"Why did you suddenly buy a football club? Could it be that this industry will usher in an outbreak period? But I think investing in the football industry is purely a loss of money, and it is impossible to make a profit." Constantine asked suspiciously.

There is also a football club on Lao Maozi's side. Although they are not very strong, they are not weak either.

Especially the national team, that is often able to go to the World Cup to mix...

It's just that the country's overall economy has not been good in the past few years, the club has no investment, and it has not been able to attract strong players to join, so professional football has slowly declined.

All football players with a bit of strength have also gone abroad to play football.

Wang Ye smiled and explained: "This matter is still in progress, but it is basically determined. I have already sent someone to London to acquire the shares of the club. If there is no accident, in a week or two, it will be Let’s make it public. By the way, Abramovich bought Chelsea Club, and I bought Arsenal Club, have you heard of it?”

Rosiana nodded first, then shook her head, and said, "Of course I've heard of Arsenal, but I haven't heard of Chelsea. Isn't Uncle Abu quite rich, why did he buy an unknown kid? Club. But Mischaya bought Arsenal so we can go to London to watch football games!"

It can be heard that Rosiana is also a "pseudo-fan", and it is estimated that she rarely watches football at ordinary times.

That's why even Chelsea didn't know about it, thinking it was a bad little club.

In fact, although Chelsea is indeed not as famous as Arsenal and Manchester United, it is still an old Premier League club...
