Wang Ye put down the knife and fork in his hand, looked directly at Gebrev, and said in a sincere tone:

"Uncle, he had a deep conversation with me two days ago and told me his thoughts and plans for the future.

He is no longer interested in politics, but has found a new cause worthy of all his investment, which is poverty alleviation and helping people in remote areas improve their living environment and quality of life.

For this reason, he needs a large amount of funds, so he wants to cash out all his properties.

Of course, I plan to take over those industries and it will not have any impact on the normal operations of several companies.

By the way, in addition to part of my uncle Hovchenko's property, part of Abramovich's property is also planned to be transferred to me.

They feel tired, they are older, and they have no interest in bothering anymore."

The last sentence is quite meaningful...

But of course Gazev understood it instantly!

A smile immediately appeared on his face. It would be great if Kovchenko really thought as openly as Abramovich did. Originally, the older generation of oligarchs should learn from Abramovich!

When it's your time to make money, no one will stop you, but when it's your time to retreat, don't wait any longer.

Moreover, just go about your own business honestly and don't stretch your hands too far and try to get involved in everything...

The reason why Hovchenko is so valued is not only his own strong financial resources, but also the "uncle-nephew" relationship between him and Wang Ye in the past two years has become even more important.

Even the Kremlin side found it quite difficult. They didn’t know what Wang Ye would do when dealing with Hovchenko!

Now it's better, all worries have disappeared, and Hovchenko finally figured out that politics is not what people like him should play.

Isn’t it good to use money to support the elderly? Of course, if you are still not satisfied with old age, or want to live a more meaningful life, do some charity or something, that would be even better!

To be honest, Gorbrev even wanted to go back and discuss whether he should award Hovchenko a medal or something...

…………

After a long while, Gebrev sighed with emotion: "Yes, their era has passed! The future era will belong to you... young people like you."

Wang Ye showed a shy smile on his face, waved his hands and said modestly: "I'm still early, I don't have enough experience, and I still need to learn more from my adoptive father, Speaker Grezlov and others."

If we really want to classify them, Wang Ye should belong to the "third generation" in politics.

Needless to say, the first generation is the group of people who came out of the former Soviet Union just after the disintegration, but they have basically retreated. The last evergreen figure in the political arena, Luzhkov, was also "pulled down" by Wang Ye. They are not optimistic about the current political arena.

The influence is almost zero.

The second generation, of course, is the ruling faction represented by the Kremlin and dominated by the Shilavik Group.

High-ranking figures such as foster father, Gorbrev, Gryzlov, Meddev, Shao Yigu and so on all belong to this generation.

It is said that now is their era, and if there are no surprises, they can continue to be glorious for many years.

But what cannot be ignored is that the third generation is also growing rapidly.

The most prominent representative of this third generation is, of course, the current Duma Deputy Speaker and Director of the Economic and Foreign Affairs Committee Mikhail!

Oh, and maybe add Rosiana, the current governor of Moscow...

The couple undoubtedly belong to the "rising third generation"!

In addition, Wang Ye's performance in recent years has been too good, which has given everyone the impression that even the second generation is a bit old, and it is time to retire and give up his position to more outstanding young people!

As for Kovchenko, Abramovich and other oligarchs, they span the first generation and the second generation. Although only a dozen years have passed, the domestic situation in Mauritius has changed too much, so those oligarchs also seem to have

"Out of tune" with the times...

At this time, it is most correct to choose to retreat bravely.

Abramovich was the first to see the situation clearly and chose this path. Now Hovchenko has understood it too, which is gratifying.

After getting to the bottom of things from Wang Ye's side, Kremlin finally let down his guard against Hovchenko.

The adoptive father actually discussed with Gorbrev whether he should award Hovchenko the highest medal of honor as a commendation after he starts his charity work...

Of course, maybe Hovchenko doesn't care about these honors anymore.

…………

In early March 2006, YANDEXMAIL.RU United Technology Company conducted the last round of financing before going public.

Several investment institutions from China, Europe and the United States jointly took away 25% of the shares from Wang Ye for a price of US$5 billion!

This is a price based on the company’s market capitalization of US$20 billion.

Although the price is not favorable, it will be very difficult to acquire such a large share of shares after YM United Technologies is listed.

However, there was no publicity for such a high amount of financing, and it was carried out in a low-key manner.

In the same month, Facebook Russia also conducted its last round of financing before going public. Wang Ye also transferred 30% of his shares and received US$4.5 billion in cash!

Facebook Russia’s valuation is only US$15 billion, which is slightly lower than that of YM United Technologies.

But this is normal, because this company is not the "complete body" of Facebook, but one of the three companies that was spun off, and it is the one with the "worst" future prospects...

Wang Ye had no choice but to rush to cash out before the company went public.

He also knows that if he waits until one or two years after the company goes public and the potential is fully reflected in the stock price before cashing out, he may get more cash.

But there is no way, he is in urgent need of money now.

And if the company does go public, it will not be easy for him, a major shareholder, to cash out large amounts, as there are too many restrictions.

It would be better to transfer the original shares to those who want to enter the market at a relatively fair price before the company goes public.

Although I suffered a little "small loss", I was able to get a large amount of funds smoothly, and I also made a friend at the same time!

…………

After cashing out the shares of the two companies, he received US$9 billion, plus the US$4 billion prepared to build the super estate, Wang Ye now holds up to US$13 billion!

However, one billion US dollars of it will soon be paid to the Moscow State to acquire the estate, so the total funds that can be used are only 12 billion, but this is enough.

In April, Abramovich returned to Moscow and invited Wang Ye to his suburban manor for a gathering, along with Kovchenko.

The three reached a preliminary agreement, and Wang Ye funded the acquisition of several major assets owned by the two.

Including the aluminum group shares and media group shares held by Abu.

As well as the shares of Yukos Group and First United Bank held by Hovchenko!

Wang Ye needs to pay Abramovich $6 billion and Hovchenko $10 billion respectively!

Of course, it can be paid in installments over three years. Abramovich and Hovchenko are not worried that Wang Ye will default on the debt...

The actual value of these assets of Abramovich and Hovchenko must be higher than 16 billion US dollars. If they were not transferred to Wang Ye, the price is estimated to be at least 20% higher!

Now it's considered a friendly price.

Wang Ye did not play any tricks and told the two of them calmly that he had prepared US$12 billion in funds.

You can pay Abramovich $4 billion and Kovchenko $8 billion immediately, which means each owes them $2 billion, which can basically be paid off next year.

Wang Ye is not short of money, so he doesn't really plan to pay it off in three years. That would be taking advantage of Abramovich and Hovchenko.

After initialing the agreement, the three of them looked at each other, smiled, stretched out their right hands, and held each other tightly.

Abu sighed: "I really quit this time. I may settle in London for a long time in the future and won't come back much. My governorship expires next year and I don't plan to run again. But I can't lose that territory.

Misha, if you have a suitable candidate, you can recommend it to me and I will ensure that he can be successfully elected."

It can be heard that Abu really wants to give up and no longer plans to "play".

He holds one to two billion U.S. dollars, is only in his forties, and still has plenty of time to live freely, so why should he worry about living in China?

He has already earned enough money, and there is no point in earning more. Of course, the most important thing is that the risk is too great, and he feels that he cannot control it!

Hovchenko smiled and said: "I don't plan to move abroad yet. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to do, but it is no longer those intrigues and intrigues. It's you, Misha. You may be under great pressure in the future.

Quite a bit, neither Abu nor I can do much to help you, you will have to walk the rest of the way on your own."

Wang Ye nodded solemnly and said confidently: "Don't worry, uncle, if you leave these industries in my hands, I will never let these companies decline. Moreover, the money earned by these companies will also be used for necessary purposes."

Where we are, our goals are actually the same. We all want to make our loved ones around us live a better life, and at the same time make this society and this country better..."

This was a disguised guarantee to the two of them.

As long as he has not "fallen", neither Abramovich nor Hovchenko should worry about basic safety issues and just live the life you want!

In the past, two "big brothers" helped him and pushed him to his current high position. Now that both of them have stepped down, it is Wang Ye's turn to provide them with the necessary protection.

Abu nodded and smiled: "It's hard to imagine how much Misha's net worth will reach in the future. Maybe in a few years, our country will give birth to a real richest man in the world!"

This is no joke. After the two resold their high-quality assets to Wang Ye, although Wang Ye paid a lot of money, the assets they received were actually worth more.

Especially Yukos Group, Gazprom, and Polar Bear Investment Company, these three giants!

Just relying on the shares of these three companies, especially after all the Internet companies that Polar Bear Investment Company invested in in the early stage are listed, Wang Ye's net worth can easily exceed 100 billion US dollars...

And these are just assets floating "on the water". Wang Ye also has some companies that are not well known but have great potential in the future.

For example, Crime Investment Company and the security company that has dominated Africa...

No one in these two companies knows how much they are truly worth, nor does they know how far these two companies can grow in the future.

But it is obvious that with the prosperity of the Crimean Peninsula, when it truly becomes the "Pearl of Eastern Europe", the assets held by the Crimean Investment Company will be an astonishing number!
