Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 136: Monopolizing the Market - Part 1

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Monopolizing the Market - Part 1

The Alpha Hotel is very close to the New Sun Market.

As a result, it took less than ten minutes for Liu Jun to arrive.

Stepping into Wang Ye’s office, he was in disbelief. He scanned the room for quite a while before managing to ask, "Did you...really become the President of the New Sun Group?"

Truth be told, Liu Jun felt like he was in a dream!

Even though Wang Ye had already informed him over the phone yesterday, he still couldn’t believe it now...

Because it was too unbelievable!

"Have a seat, Brother Liu. I’m only the President of a small company. No need to be so surprised," Wang Ye said with a grin as he gestured to Liu Jun to sit.

Shaking his head, Liu Jun sighed, "This is the New Sun Group! A big corporation that is larger than the Old ACT Market and easily rakes in hundreds of millions in US dollars each year. Yet, in your mouth, it’s reduced to being a small company?"

As a typical "Lao Mo," Liu Jun naturally understood the potential of the New Sun Market.

Especially since something like this happened today at the Old ACT Market, it was like a catalyst to the New Sun Market!

Wang Ye just smiled and didn’t continue the subject, instead, he started talking about the matter at hand.

"Brother Liu, have our phone cards been produced?" he asked with concern.

Originally, Wang Ye wanted to send Angelina to the phone card company, but he couldn’t find the time, so he had given Liu Jun full control.

Liu Jun is quite competent and reliable. Even though he manages two companies, everything is in order.

"They’ve been produced. From now on, when we wholesale phone cards, they’ll be ours. They’re cheaper in price and better in quality, there’s no reason they wouldn’t sell well," Liu Jun replied happily.

Wang Ye nodded. However, he wasn’t as interested in the phone card company anymore...

That was pretty normal.

When he first planned to start a phone card company, Wang Ye didn’t have much money. He hoped to generate sufficient cash flow from the study abroad agency and the phone card company.

Then, he would make a fortune by investing in the buying and selling of shops!

This was what he planned to do in the first two years after his "rebirth"...

Don’t say his plan was small, after all, in his previous life he was just an ordinary person, so his ambition in this life was also not too great.

If he could manage the study abroad agency, the phone card company, and the shops well, Wang Ye could accumulate a fortune of tens of millions of dollars!

You have to remember, this was in 2001. It was already pretty successful!

However, things don’t always go as planned. Now, he had taken a completely different path.

He had stepped onto a larger stage!

And there were greater profits within reach...

Of course, with it came even greater risks!

...

Even though he was no longer interested, Wang Ye did not abandon the phone card business, as that would let Liu Jun down...

To pursue the phone card business, Liu Jun had invested all his money from the study abroad agency!

If he did not lend a hand, relying solely on the small market from the universities, Liu Jun might go bankrupt!

He then said with a grin, "Later on, I will notify the Security Team that anyone who wants to sell newspapers or phone cards in the New Sun Market must register in advance at the Management Office. They must wear uniform...give them red vests, so it’s more conspicuous. Of course, the phone cards they sell must be ours. No other cards are allowed. If anyone violates this, they will be immediately driven out and won’t be allowed to enter the New Sun Market again!"

Liu Jun had been pondering on how his phone card could compete with those of the existing phone card companies.

[p>After all, other companies had well-established channels, and many users were familiar with their cards.

As a newly established company, it seemed very hard to compete!

But now, all issues were resolved with Wang Ye’s seemingly effortless remarks.

It was foreseeable that with the old market being shut down, the New Sun Market would become popular.

Competitors couldn’t enter to sell cards and all merchants who wanted to buy phone cards would have to buy from their company!

This...

This was not just normal business competition anymore.

It was a dimension reduction attack!

"Isn’t this...a little unfair?" Liu Jun said, rubbing his hands in embarrassment.

He felt as if they were bullying people.

They didn’t allow competitors to enter the whole New Sun Market...

"Haha, it’s okay. This is our domain. Should we allow competitors to come and share our cake?" Wang Ye dismissed with a wave of his hand.

Liu Jun didn’t say anything else, but he was full of mixed feelings.

The current Wang Ye was quickly reaching the point where a single word from him could determine life and death!

A single casual remark could cause a few phone card companies to close down!

Those several companies wouldn’t even have a chance to struggle...

...

This illustrated that when you view or solve problems from different heights, the methods are completely different!

Previously, Wang Ye had contemplated how to get their company’s phone card into the larger market.

His plan then was to bypass the newspaper sales channels and sell cards through the many study abroad students who worked part-time as interpreters at the big market!

If the profit margin was high enough, those students working part-time as interpreters would be willing to earn some extra money!

That way, they could bypass the traditional phone card sales channels, and make a surprise move!

No doubt, this plan had a high chance of success and could at least share the market with the existing phone card companies...

But now, Wang Ye didn’t consider doing that anymore.

Because now he was the President of the New Sun Group and the New Sun Market was his own territory!

Here, his words were not overdramatic, but they were almost as influencing.

For problems that could be solved with just one sentence, why bother to make it complicated...

Moreover, now it was not a question of sharing the market, but monopolizing the market!

He wouldn’t have to give a lot of profits to the retail terminal either, the company could make even more profits!

...

Sitting on the sofa, both were lost in their thoughts, immersed in the blue smoke of their cigarettes.

"I may be going to Qingyun Company less in the future, and I am fully relying on you there. Later, let’s make up a Share Transfer Agreement and I will increase your shareholding in Qingyun Company by a further ten percent," Wang Ye suddenly chimed in.

Hearing this, Liu Jun, forgetting about smoking, quickly put out his cigarette, hastily waving his hands and saying, "No, no, that won’t work! I’m serving as the General Manager in Qingyun Company and receiving a salary. These are things I should be doing. Even though you do not manage the company often, it certainly wouldn’t have reached today’s state without your input. So, I can’t accept any shares!"

He was quite determined with no ambiguity in his refusal.

Wang Ye laughed, waved his hand, and said, "No need to be modest. This is what you deserve."

What he just said was not to test Liu Jun or anything, but to genuinely give him more shares!
