Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 123 Invitation Recruitment _1

Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Invitation Recruitment _1

Khodorkovsky, who should be just over forty this year, was at the prime of his life.

He was tall with short curly brown hair, fair and clean skin, and had an intellectual refined appearance.

His eyes were exceptionally big, his gaze clear and bright, enhancing his scholarly and amiable demeanor with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a smile.

In comparison, it was rare to see Russians wearing glasses.

A point worth noting, he also had Jewish ancestry...

Likewise, among seven oligarchs in Russia, six of them were Jewish!

This very refined-looking man controlled the largest oil company in Russia and would ascend to the throne of Russia’s wealthiest man in just a couple of years!

......

"Mr. Khodorkovsky, Wang Ye has arrived, he is the one who purchased 300 stores," Big Head Kong respectfully reported after entering the office.

Khodorkovsky, who had been sitting on the sofa, rose to his feet, his face beaming with a welcoming smile.

"Haha, is this Mr. Wang? Indeed young and promising, with a sharp eye for investments! I assure you, your investment will certainly exceed your expectations!"

"Thank you for your compliments, Mr. Khodorkovsky, I too believe that the future of the New Sun Market is promising, that’s why I am willing to go all in with my investments here," Wang Ye replied with a smile.

The two men held each other’s hands firmly.

After the guests had seated, two attractive girls served steaming hot coffee.

Khodorkovsky assessed Wang Ye with his sharp gaze, somewhat surprised by how young the man was.

Because relevant data was needed to sign the contract, he was already aware of Wang Ye’s age.

Only eighteen this year!

At this age, he seemed to have just set foot in the college campus...

Of course, he didn’t believe that Wang Ye could achieve what he had achieved at his age.

That’s because his success was almost impossible to replicate!

It required too many factors and coincidences...

Given his own youthful years, he had a positive outlook towards young people like Wang Ye, especially after learning about Wang Ye’s method of attracting investments.

He found the audacity of this young man astonishing and his vision farsighted!

Khodorkovsky even had his subordinates collect more details about Wang Ye, and when he had thoroughly studied Wang Ye’s circumstances, he couldn’t help but marvel.

This young man’s future is boundless!

Setting aside Wang Ye’s impressive wealth accumulation in just a few months of arrival in Moscow,

his "all in" investment in the New Sun Market made him a figure of admiration to Khodorkovsky.

Wang Ye was brave enough to spend so much money on buying many stores, bold enough to give half-year rent-free advertisements, all to attract more people to the market!

Not many can do that.

Khodorkovsky was thus interested in him and wanted to meet him in person.

After some small talk, Khodorkovsky suddenly asked, "Do you think that the New Sun Market could withstand competition from the old market? How long would it take?"

The old and the new markets were in a state of competition, and both had a great scale.

If one were to point out who would least hope for the success of the New Market, it would undoubtedly be the ACT Group behind the Old Market!

After all, the New Sun Market would essentially mean taking a bite off the piece of the pie that belonged to ACT Group...

Regardless of the manoeuvres going on behind the scenes, the New Sun Market had successfully kicked off and things were calm on the Old Market’s end, no reactions whatsoever.

Whether or not there was an impact from the ACT Group that resulted in the New Market’s challenging investment solicitation efforts, particularly facing resistance from people of the old market, it was hard to tell.

......

Wang Ye knew for certain that the New Market would rise to success.

Otherwise, why would he, who clearly is not a fool, invest all his hard-earned money into this place?

However, when responding to the question from Khodorkovsky, he needed to be cautious.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Ye responded with calmness, "Considering Mr. Khodorkovsky’s level of authority, success is guaranteed once you decided to invest in the market! As for how long it would take, it all depends...on when you make up your mind."

Khodorkovsky was taken aback when he heard this.

Wang Ye’s answer was quite vague, particularly the last part, to the extent that even Big Head Kong, who had been sitting at the side, was unable to grasp the meaning of it.

But Khodorkovsky understood...

"Hahaha... Excellent! Very good! Mr. Wang, are you interested in joining our group? You can be in charge of the operations of this large market together with Mr. Kong. I will let you know in advance that I have already purchased the vast piece of land opposite the parking lot, with plans for it to be the second phase of New Sun! As soon as the first phase of the market shows signs of prosperity, work at that place will commence almost immediately. In the future, our market will be the largest wholesale and distribution market not only in all of Eastern Europe...no, but also in all of Europe!"

Khodorkovsky chuckled as he extended his invitation.

Such an invitation was not merely because of what Wang Ye had just said, but a conclusion he had reached after assessing all of Wang Ye’s proven attributes. He sincerely believed that Wang Ye was a rare talent!

It was his policy to never be stingy when it came to attracting talent.

Like Big Head Kong; he also had issued shares in New Sun Market, up to ten percent!

Although Wang Ye seemed to possess nearly ten percent of the shop lots in phase I of the New Sun Market after purchasing three streets, that was entirely different from Big Head Kong owning ten percent of the shares!

This was because Big Head Kong was entitled to dividends, not only from the sales of the shops but also from the subsequent management fees, customs clearance, money exchanges and other business revenues!

Those amounts of income far surpassed the revenue from the shops, and they were a continuous source of money as well.

As long as the New Sun Market existed for a day, then there would be revenue for a day!

To say it was a money-spinning tree wouldn’t be an exaggeration...

......

Big Head Kong on the side was feeling a bit sour.

He had been working hard in Russia for over a decade!

To have reached his current status, to have been appreciated by Mr. Khodorkovsky and to have invested in New Sun Group.

But how old was Wang Ye? Could he be on an equal footing with him?

However, he didn’t reveal any changes on his face, just reminded with a smile, "I too look forward to working together with Mr. Wang! But, there is no time to discuss this issue now, the signing ceremony is about to start, Mr. Khodorkovsky, we have to go down now."

It was indeed almost ten o’clock, Khodorkovsky laughed while patting Wang Ye’s shoulder, stood up and said, "Alright, let’s go for the signing ceremony first, and we can continue our discussion when we return."

Wang Ye also stood up, ready to go downstairs with them.

The unexpected recruitment from Khodorkovsky had caught Wang Ye unprepared, and he needed some time to consider it.

Khodorkovsky and Wang Ye led the way as the protagonists of the day!

Big Head Kong was half a step behind by Khodorkovsky’s side, with Angelina by Wang Ye’s side.

Just as they walked out of the front door of the Little Red Building, several tall and burly armed security personnel came over, ready to escort them to the venue.
