After hearing Wang Ye's question, Ruan Xiaozhu's expression was a little unnatural.

She smoothed her hair covertly, even though her hair wasn't long either...

After hesitating for a moment, Ruan Xiaozhu said with a somewhat sad expression:

"actually……

I had a boyfriend before when I was in high school."

Wang Ye was a little surprised. He really hadn't thought of this. He couldn't help but become curious and asked, "What next?"

Ruan Xiaozhu said with a helpless smile: "We were all stupid at that time, we just had a slight affection for each other. Then he was admitted to a good university in the college entrance examination, and I failed and went to study abroad.

At that time, no one had mobile phones, and they didn’t even leave any contact information. What else could we do? The relationship was naturally broken off.

Later, the Internet became a little more developed, and everyone started playing with alumni records and QQ. Although we got in touch again, I heard that he already had a new girlfriend in college."

Wang Ye nodded and said: "That's true, but just because of this, you have psychological shadow?"

This seems a bit unreasonable. After all, I and Ruan Xiaozhu went to the same high school. The school management was very strict. Even if there were a few people who fell in love secretly, they basically just wrote love letters in private and wanted to go out to eat together.

Don’t even think about watching a movie alone!

Because you could only have one day off per month at that time. This day was just for you to go home to collect living expenses and change of clothes. Parents also knew the holiday time, so during the three years of high school, there was basically no private time.

Under such circumstances, how can we develop any feelings...

Therefore, it is impossible for Ruan Xiaozhu to be unwilling to find a boyfriend because of some emotional trauma suffered by that boy. This is a bit unreasonable.

Ruan Xiaozhu smiled guiltily and said: "It's not that serious. I've been busy with studies and work these past few years, so I didn't think about personal relationship issues. Besides, I'm only in my twenties, so I'm still young.

Why should I be in a hurry to fall in love and get married? I plan to wait until I am in my thirties and have a stable career before I consider personal issues."

Seeing her say this, Wang Ye couldn't say anything else.

In fact, he didn't get married until he was in his early thirties in his previous life. He was a standard late-marriage person. The situation in this life was different, so he got married early...

Comparing Ruan Xiaozhu with himself, Wang Ye felt that he should reflect on it...

…………

"By the way, do you still remember Zhang Guangming?" Ruan Xiaozhu changed the subject.

Wang Ye nodded, he was quite impressed by Zhang Guangming.

Back then, this guy was a gambler and almost lost his life after losing money at the Kitty Eagle Gaming Center. Fortunately, he met himself and gave him a chance to start a new life.

Zhang Guangming did not let himself down. He paid back the money he owed him as soon as possible after doing business honestly and making money.

It was this move that made Wang Ye appreciate it, and later gave him an opportunity to work at the New Sun Group, where he was mainly responsible for the Lyublino market.

Because there are several layers between him and Wang Ye, Wang Ye is not very clear about his recent performance. Now when he heard Ruan Xiaozhu mention it, he asked curiously: "What's wrong with Zhang Guangming? He seemed to be present during the meeting just now.

By the way, what is his position now?"

Ruan Xiaozhu smiled and said: "He is now the person in charge of Liublino, so he is also eligible to participate in today's meeting. I plan to promote him again and make him the vice president of the group, specifically responsible for the office business.

what do you think?"

Wang Ye was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zhang Guangming was quite capable. Ruan Xiaozhu wanted to promote him as soon as he took office as president. It seemed that he also admired Zhang Guangming's work ability.

He nodded and said: "You can make the decision yourself. Except for particularly important matters, I will basically not interfere in the group's affairs. You can just discuss it with the vice presidents.

By the way, isn't the group going to expand this year? If you need financial support, just let me know.

Can……

Get a loan from my uncle’s bank.”

Originally, Wang Ye wanted to say, "All of the group's profits this year can be retained for expansion, and no dividends will be distributed at the end of the year." But when he said this, he felt a little inappropriate, so he changed it to a loan.

Because Wang Ye doesn't care about the money the group distributes as dividends at the end of the year, it doesn't matter whether he has it or not.

In a short period of time, he no longer has any projects that require a large amount of capital investment, and even many of the projects he invested in earlier have begun to make profits and have begun to pay dividends.

But the problem is that he is not the only shareholder of New Sun Group, there are other shareholders.

For example, Mr. Kong, Ruan Xiaozhu, and the executives who enjoy equity incentives are all eagerly counting on the money they will receive as dividends at the end of the year.

What would everyone think if they were just given equity incentives, but no dividends were paid in the first year?

…………

Wang Yegang had only had a few days of leisure when something came to his door again.

This time, the adoptive father called Wang Ye himself and asked Wang Ye to go to his office. He was entrusted with an important matter to handle.

Wang Ye was a little surprised, because there weren't many things that would make his adoptive father call him, and they were usually really important things.

But I haven't heard anything big happened recently. Isn't it that I'm not well-informed enough?

When I arrived at my adoptive father's office, in addition to my adoptive father, there was also Gazev.

"Let Gorbrev introduce the situation to you."

As soon as Wang Ye sat down, his adoptive father spoke without hesitation.

Gebrev introduced Wang Ye seriously:

"There was trouble in Pikajevo. A large number of aluminum smelting plant workers went on strike, which not only caused the factory to shut down, but also affected Petersburg's heating system."

Wang Ye looked confused. He had never heard of Pikajevo.

Moreover, workers are on strike here. What does that have to do with Petersburg?

Gazev must have noticed Wang Ye's confusion, so he further explained: "Pikalevo is a small town located on the outskirts of Petersburg, and there is a fairly large aluminum smelting plant there.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition to aluminum smelting, it also supplies hot water and heating to Petersburg, so when the aluminum smelting plant shut down, heating problems occurred in most of Petersburg.

Now is the coldest time, if we don’t deal with this matter as soon as possible, there will be big problems!”

Only then did Wang Ye suddenly realize.

Indeed, it is January now, and the temperature is almost minus 30 degrees. If the heating and hot water are cut off, then...

I really don’t dare to think about it!

Of course, some institutions or wealthy areas can use electricity for heating, and their lives will not be greatly affected, but ordinary people will suffer.

In addition, Petersburg is the "place of fortune" and hometown of the adoptive father, and it is the second largest central city in Russia, so the Kremlin is so eager to solve the problem.

However, Wang Ye still has a doubt, that is, why didn't Ke Gong personally come forward in this matter?

Either you can directly send a representative like a presidential envoy there, or you can let the government coordinate it. Why would you let yourself go?

Strictly speaking, I belong to the Duma system, and generally I am not suitable to come forward to deal with this kind of problem.

Wang Ye did not hide anything and asked directly: "Can't you just send someone to do this? Is there a bigger secret behind it?"

The adoptive father and Gorbrev looked at each other. The adoptive father nodded and asked Gorbrev to explain to Wang Ye.

Gazev coughed, apparently taking the opportunity to think about how to explain this matter.

After pondering for a while, he said: "This matter is indeed not that simple. You should know about Drepaska, right?"

Wang Ye laughed when he heard this, nodded and said: "Of course I know, this is our new richest man! A famous aluminum giant, why is this aluminum smelting plant owned by him?"

This so-called "richest man" was selected by Forbes magazine at the end of last year. Drepaska topped the list with a net worth of US$14 billion, becoming the richest man in Russia!

The second is Abramovich, with $12 billion.

As for Wang Ye, he did not appear on the list...

Because his situation is relatively special, he has a political identity and is relatively sensitive.

Secondly, most of the group companies he controls are not listed, and their ownership structures are complex and hidden. Wang Ye also controls the company's shares through various funds, asset management companies, etc.

Although many people know that he is the major shareholder of these group companies, it is indeed difficult to verify it on the surface.

At that time, someone from Forbes contacted Wang Ye's assistant and wanted to verify Wang Ye's total assets in person, but it was obvious that Wang Ye refused directly.

Perhaps many businessmen are proud to be on the Forbes list, which can be regarded as advertising for their company.

But why would Wang Ye care about this? He would rather keep a low profile and not want his wealth to be truly exposed to the general public.

Although his wealth was obtained legally, there is nothing you can do about it. When you are too rich, there will always be people who are jealous of you.

Therefore, Forbes magazine did not include his name in the list.

This Drepaska has met Wang Ye several times, but they are not very familiar with him.

Because Wang Ye’s industries are mainly involved in crude oil, natural gas, coal, etc., while Derepaska and Abu are both engaged in aluminum and steel. Of course, they have other businesses, but those are not their main businesses.

The Aluminum Group was quite supportive of the Moscow super CBD center that Wang Ye took the lead last time, saying it would provide four billion U.S. dollars!

However, it seems that Drepaska and Abramovich have a close relationship. After all, the aluminum group is jointly held by the two of them, which can be regarded as the relationship between the largest shareholder and the second shareholder.

But then, wouldn’t it be that Abramovich was also involved in the Pikajevo incident this time?

Regarding Wang Ye’s question, this is how Gazev explained it.

"You may not have paid much attention to it, but now Abramovich is no longer involved in the operation and management of Rusal Group, and even a lot of his shares have been cashed out, so now the real boss of Rusal Group is Drepaska, who is also the largest shareholder of Rusal Group

shareholders, directly and indirectly control about 57% of Rusal Group’s shares!”
