Reborn Russia As An Oligarch - Chapter 894
Chapter 894 Do not eat a toast and eat fine wine
Like most energy companies, the headquarters of the Siberian Coal Group Corporation is also located in Moscow.
On a street southwest of the city center, there is a small red building that doesn’t look very eye-catching from the outside.
It is only seven stories high, made of red bricks, and surrounded by iron fences, which is very low-key.
But there is a bronze plaque next to the gate, which says “Siberian Coal”.
There is a row of identical BMW 7-series parked in the open space in the yard, which should be official vehicles provided by the group company to senior managers.
Through this small detail, it can still be seen that this company is quite rich.
The top floor of the small red building, which is the seventh floor, is in a huge office.
Menichenko was frowning tightly, looking at a gray-haired old man in front of him.
“Mr. Konstantin, let me stress again, the Siberian Coal Company is not going to sell!
Not for sale now, nor will it ever be!
Moreover, this meeting is out of respect for you, but I don’t want to hear any more words from you that hurt our mutual feelings. ”
Obviously, this gray-haired old man is Constantine.
He just asked his assistant to contact Menichenko yesterday, saying that he was in Moscow and wanted to visit Menichenko, but he didn’t mention anything about the acquisition on the phone.
Today, Menichenko would have welcomed him with a smile.
As soon as he sat down, Konstantin said bluntly that he wanted to acquire the Siberian Coal Group, which made Menichenko stunned for a long time before he could react.
However, he didn’t want to tear his face, so he had to politely decline, saying that he is not short of money now, and he has just integrated the domestic coal industry, and he still wants to make a big splash, so it is impossible to sell the group company.
But Konstantin didn’t seem to understand, and said again that he wanted to acquire the Siberia Coal Group.
This made Menichenko a little annoyed, and said the above words.
…
Konstantin sat there with a smile, not angry at all because of being rejected.
He looked at Menichenko with a smile and said:
“Mr. Menichenko, I still suggest that you think about it carefully, and don’t easily reject the kindness from a friend.
Maybe I can remind you that today’s Russia is not ten years ago, and not everyone is qualified to run an energy business.
There are too many examples in front of us, look at the energy oligarchs who were once prosperous, what they are doing now.
Some committed suicide in fear of crime, some went into exile, and some went to jail.
Smarter ones, like Abramovich and Khovchenko, have accurate judgments on the situation.
Either retired or transferred out the equity in their hands, so they are living comfortably now and have no worries at all. ”
Hearing these words, Menichenko’s heart trembled.
It’s not that he doesn’t pay attention to what happened in China in the past few years, but he cares very much!
It’s just that he won Kasyanov’s “friendship” a few years ago, and he was very low-key in his work, so it went smoothly, and no one noticed him.
However, Kasyanov stepped down!
Now he is trying his best to find a way to join the Hiravik Group.
Menichenko is very smart. He knows that the largest force in the country is the Silavik Group represented by the Kremlin. As long as he can get the approval of the Kremlin, he will be truly safe and secure.
Besides, I am just a businessman and have no political ambitions at all.
So he didn’t think he was in any danger.
Those oligarchs who were “rectified” were not all punished for political reasons…
But he never expected that when he was at his weakest, someone would take advantage of the fire and propose to buy his own Siberia Coal Group!
Hearing the threatening meaning in Konstantin’s words, Menichenko narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at him a few times.
Konstantin, of course, did not change his face and heartbeat, and he was not guilty at all, and looked at him with a smile on his face.
Menichenko grinned with a hint of sarcasm, and asked:
“If I just don’t agree, what are you going to do?
I am a law-abiding citizen and have British nationality. If I dare to mess around, I will sue the international court! ”
Actually, he is also trying to hold on and refuse to accept his softness. Although he has never dealt with Constantine, an old fox, he has heard some news about Constantine.
A few years ago, Constantine was relatively low-key and had been developing in Petersburg.
Mainly engaged in telecommunications and communications business, he has a lot of shares in the two major domestic communication groups.
But it has not entered the energy field, not even an oligarch.
But in the past two years, a Romanov family suddenly appeared, which surprised many people.
Although Rosiana, not Constantine, inherited the Grand Duke of Romanov, this also means that Constantine is also the heir of the Romanov family, a descendant of the Tsar!
But so what if it is the queen of the tsar, can this thing be worth billions of dollars worth of assets of the Siberian Coal Group!
As for the relationship between the Romanov family and the Kremlin…
Menichenko is not so sure yet.
Perhaps this relationship is the reason why Constantine came to talk to him about the acquisition today!
But just relying on this to make Menichenko bow his head and obediently sell the Siberian Coal Group at a low price, that is not realistic.
After all, this is a giant company worth billions or even tens of billions of dollars!
At the very least, he should resist.
If in the end Ke Gong really shot at him because of this matter, and he couldn’t bear it anymore, then it’s not too late to bow his head…
But now, I can’t “kneel down” so quickly!
…
Konstantin was not in a hurry to answer when he heard Menichenko’s question, but just picked up the coffee cup on the table and took a small sip.
praised: “The coffee is good.”
Menichenko was not in the mood to discuss the quality of coffee with him. He lay back on the back of the sofa, crossed his arms across his chest, and remained silent.
Putting down the coffee cup, Konstantin pulled out a folder with a lambskin cover from the briefcase he brought with him, and pushed it in front of Menichenko.
said: “This is a purchase offer, you can take a look first and think about it.”
Menichenko stood up abruptly, and was about to utter abusive words with his eyes wide open, but Konstantin also stood up.
smiled and said: “Okay, I’ll take my leave first, and wait for the good news from your side.
But as a person who is a few years older than you, I can barely be called a senior in the business world, and I will give you a word of advice.
That is, do not act impulsively, and keep rational no matter what the situation is.
Don’t let anger get to your head.
Maybe there could have been a good result, but once impulsive, it can’t end.
Don’t toast, don’t eat and eat fine wine…”
After finishing speaking, Constantine laughed, turned around and walked out of the office.
Menichenko, who was behind him, pursed his lips hard and swallowed the swear words he was about to say.
He bent down to pick up the folder, opened it and took a look, and the eye-catching quotation amount came into view.
“Three billion dollars”!
Wholly acquired Siberia Coal Group, all shares!
How to say this price, it is higher than what Menichenko imagined, but it is a bit far from the real value of the Siberian Coal Group…
Although the Siberian Coal Group can develop to the scale it is today, Menichenko has indeed taken advantage of the loopholes that are not policies, and played many empty-handed white wolf tricks.
But his investment in real money is worth two or three billion dollars!
It can be said that after so many years of banking and foreign exchange exchange, almost all legal income and gray income have been invested in it!
If it is sold at this price, the time, energy, and favor he spent on Siberia Coal Group for almost these years will be wasted!
Let’s barely get back the invested principal…
This coal group is the core asset of Menichenko now and in the future!
Even if there is a slight possibility, he is not willing to sell it, let alone sell it at a price of 3 billion US dollars.
“Suka is not listed!”
Menichenko cursed angrily, grabbed the document and planned to throw it out.
However, the arm had already been raised, so it stopped abruptly.
Arms raised in the air for a long time, Menichenko seemed to have no strength, and slumped on the sofa dejectedly, as if he had no bones.
Because he remembered what Constantine said just before he left.
Don’t let anger get to your head…
He wanted to see what tricks the other party could pull off, how he could force himself to bow his head and give in!
Menichenko still had an illusion at this time, that is, if he could get through the relationship as soon as possible, he would embrace a new “thigh”.
Then Constantine should not dare to force it!
………
Konstantin, as soon as he got in the car after going downstairs, he called Wang Ye.
“Misha, I have already met and talked with Menichenko, and made an offer, but he seems unwilling.
Next, it’s up to you. ”
Wang Ye’s response was very brief, he just said: “I see.”
hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Ye shook his head. If the old fox, Constantine, pulled him in, he would definitely not let himself enjoy the benefits.
But I am already prepared!
He picked up the red landline on the table and made a call…
…
The next day, Wang Ye invited the remaining speakers and held an interim meeting.
In the past, only the speaker had the power to call an interim meeting, but now the first deputy speaker can also…
At the meeting, Wang Ye said solemnly:
“Shocking, comrades!
I just got a piece of information yesterday, which is about some illegal financial departments in China laundering money through regulatory loopholes!
In this material, it is estimated that hundreds of billions of dollars are flowed abroad through illegal channels on the black market every year.
This is completely stealing the wealth of the country and the people! ”
Several speakers looked at each other, wondering why Wang Ye suddenly brought up this matter.
It’s not that they haven’t heard of it at all, but that everyone knows it well, but because of the importance of the relationship, no one dares to touch these things on their own initiative.
Just kidding, it is true that a huge amount of money has been lost, but the question is, who has so much money?
This question is worth pondering!
What’s the matter?
Now Speaker Mikhail plans to “declare war” against those people? !
No need!
To put it bluntly, even the uncle of Speaker Mikhail, the bank under him has done this kind of business.
There is also his “good friend” Abu, how can he get so much money to buy luxury houses, clubs, yachts and private jets in London, which can easily cost hundreds of millions of dollars!
How did the money get out…
…
Gryzlov was also a little confused about what Wang Ye meant. He coughed and asked, “Deputy Speaker Mikhail, what do you mean…”
Wang Ye patted the conference table with a “slap”, and said righteously:
“Perhaps this situation occurred due to some special reasons in the past.
We don’t have to hold individuals accountable, but the banking institutions involved must take responsibility for knowingly breaking the law!
I propose to carry out an investigation of the relevant domestic financial institutions, especially those that are relatively rampant, and we must rectify them, and kill them to warn others! ”
Gryzlov immediately understood that Misha must be planning to trouble a certain bank!
I don’t know who offended him by not opening his eyes…
But this has nothing to do with me!
He immediately said cheerfully:
“Deputy Speaker Mikhail’s proposal is very good!
I also feel that those domestic banks are too messy, especially some private banks. Their currency exchange outlets are all over the street, and the exchange rate can change several times a day!
It made everyone panic, thinking that our ruble has been depreciating.
I support with both hands! ”
It’s none of your business, so let Mikhail make troubles, and it won’t harm his own interests anyway.
I sell him a favor now, but I don’t know when in the future, this favor will be returned.
Not to mention Zhirinov, he also knew very well that Wang Ye could not have gone to Hovchenko’s bank, it must be some other bank.
Then I must support it.
As for Kolov…
It doesn’t matter whether he supports it or not.
Because of the four speakers, all three agreed…
…
This kind of thing does not need to go to the Duma Congress.
After the several speakers reached an agreement, Wang Ye directly drafted the text in the name of the Duma and sent it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, asking the other party to send someone to assist.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of Koro Koli, who is an old friend of Wang Ye. In addition, when the budget was passed this year, Wang Ye sold a big favor and added a large amount of budget funds to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
This greatly increased Koro Koli’s prestige in the Ministry of Internal Affairs!
Such a great favor, do you think Koro Koli can’t keep it in mind.
Now that Wang Ye needs his help with something, Koro Koli can’t wait to lead the team himself!
He immediately dispatched elite troops and let his cronies lead the team, and told his cronies to follow the instructions of Speaker Mikhail in everything.
As long as it doesn’t involve an armed coup d’état, you don’t need to ask yourself for instructions, just execute the order directly!
