Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 125 How to Choose_1

Chapter 125: Chapter 125 How to Choose_1

Concerned about his future safety, Khodorkovsky walked in.

He sat down directly across from Wang Ye, his brows furrowed as if he was pondering something.

Wang Ye remained silent too.

The room was quiet.

After a while, Khodorkovsky reached into his suit pocket and pulled out a wallet. He took out a piece of paper and pushed it toward Wang Ye.

He said earnestly:

"Wang Ye, I am grateful that you saved my life today, and I don’t know how I can repay you.

Moreover, I’m sorry for dragging you into this messy conflict.

Now you have two choices.

This is a blank cheque, you can fill in any amount you want, then take the money and go back to China!

Or you can become the president of the New Sun Group, I will give you twenty percent of the shares!"

Wang Ye glanced at the blank cheque on the table, then looked up at Khodorkovsky. His mind was racing, weighing the pros and cons of the two choices!

Maybe, choosing the cheque is the right decision...

Wang Ye isn’t greedy, he would never, and dare not write billions or tens of billions of US dollars on the cheque...

At most, he would fill in a hundred million US dollars!

He believed that this amount should be the limit that Khodorkovsky could bear, and it was the maximum amount he was willing to give out.

Anything higher...

He estimated that he would turn from Khodorkovsky’s lifesaver into an "enemy"...

With this hundred million US dollars, he could also become rich and powerful when he returned to his country...right?

Of course, the possibility of being "powerful" isn’t high, but there is no question about becoming "rich".

But, is he really willing to just take the money and "flee"?

And what about Angelina, Liu Jun, Ruan Xiaozhu, Wang Dan, Nalan Yaqi, Song Xiaogang...

What about all these people?

Unconsciously, Wang Ye has become a key figure in this circle!

Here, he just started his businesses and there are still many ambitions and aspirations he has yet to fulfill!

......

If he chooses to become the "President of the New Sun Group" and takes the twenty percent of shares, from a monetary perspective, it might be worth more than a hundred million US dollars.

The New Sun Group is referring to this new market, along with the accompanying companies.

Of course, it does not include the Yukos Oil Company...

According to what Khodorkovsky said, and what he understood from his "past life", this New Sun Market was going to thrive in the following years!

Just these twenty percent of shares might bring him an income of hundreds of millions of US dollars or even more every year, this isn’t a joke!

But this choice comes with a problem.

That is, he would be completely drawn into the "oligarchic struggles", unable to escape...

Subconsciously, Wang Ye reached into his pocket for a cigarette, but found none. He wasn’t sure if he had forgotten it in the car, or if he had dropped it in his panic earlier.

He looked up and asked: "Do you have a cigarette?"

Khodorkovsky smiled and shouted to someone outside the door: "Bring in a pack of cigarettes!"

There were only three of them in the room now, not even Khodorkovsky’s assistant was present.

However, as soon as Khodorkovsky had finished speaking, someone knocked on the door and came in, bringing a pack of cigarettes. It was just the Black Russian that Wang Ye preferred to smoke.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, lightly opened his mouth, and exhaled a stream of blue smoke.

Wang Ye’s face was shrouded in smoke, and he was still contemplating what decision he should make.

Khodorkovsky didn’t rush him, because he understood that this was a matter that would affect Wang Ye’s future.

If it were himself in this situation, he would also have to consider carefully!

......

The room was filled with silence, and Wang Ye quietly smoked his cigarette.

Before he realized it, he had finished a cigarette and made up his mind about some things.

With a stubbing out of his cigarette, Wang Ye reached for the cheque...

Khodorkovsky was a bit disappointed, he actually hoped more that Wang Ye would choose to stay behind.

With this cheque, Wang Ye could probably live a life of wealth for the rest of his life peacefully.

But...

Through this choice, it can be seen that Wang Ye is not a risk-taker!

Then, there is a limit to what this young man can achieve...

On the other hand, if he stays, although the risks are much higher, don’t forget that opportunities and risks often coexist!

Khodorkovsky believed that he could provide Wang Ye with a big enough stage for him to spread his wings and fly, such a future is truly unlimited...

Wang Ye reached out and placed his hand on the cheque, hesitated for a moment, and then pushed the cheque back towards Khodorkovsky.

He said calmly: "I choose...to stay!"

Khodorkovsky was stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face, "Great! Welcome to the New Sun Group! According to your country’s customs, I should call you President Wang now, right? Haha..."

Wang Ye smiled slightly, "Just call me Misha, that’s my Russian name, my friends call me that."

Standing up, Khodorkovsky placed his right hand on Wang Ye’s shoulder and leaned in to say: "You will not regret your decision today, trust me!"

Then, he called his assistant over, gave him a series of instructions and turned to Wang Ye to say: "I have some other matters to attend to, and some people to meet. You go back and rest first. Tomorrow, I will send someone to pick you up to the company to discuss things about the New Sun Group."

Wang Ye nodded, stood up holding Angelina’s hand, thought for a moment, and then asked: "Er...they wouldn’t make a move on me, would they?"

Even though he’s experienced two lifetimes, Wang Ye is still an ordinary person, he has no experience at all with such matters, he has never encountered such a situation.

What he was most worried about now was his own safety...

Don’t accuse him of being scared, anyone would be scared by this! He had just had a close encounter with death, witnessed a man being killed in front of him. It would be abnormal not to be afraid!

"Haha, don’t worry, I am their real target. As long as nothing happens to me, no one will touch you. And moreover, they probably wouldn’t have time to consider these issues next..."

Towards the end, Khodorkovsky burst into a cold laugh.

Thinking about it, Wang Ye realised that it made sense!

He was just an insignificant person, there was no point for them to do anything to him.

And as long as nothing happened to Khodorkovsky, there would definitely be a thunderous retaliatory attack coming in, his opponents certainly wouldn’t have the time to bother with him.

Wang Ye nodded and didn’t ask any other questions.

From Khodorkovsky’s looks, it seemed that he already knew who the opponent was, and was about to plan his counterattack.

That was something he couldn’t participate in...

......

When he was leaving the building, Wang Ye ran into Big Head Kong.

Big Head Kong enthusiastically came over and pulled Wang Ye’s arm, expressing his astonishment.

This guy recovered quite quickly. When the incident just happened, his chubby face was pallid, and his legs were trembling.

But now he acted as if nothing was wrong!

To be able to reach this level, Big Head Kong was no ordinary person...

"Oh yeah, Boss Kong, from now on, we’re colleagues," Wang Ye said with a smile.

Big Head Kong was taken aback for a moment before reacting, feeling a bit complicated, but still responded with a hearty laughter: "Great! It’s a pleasure to work with such a talented young man like President Wang..."
