Chapter 142: Chapter 142 Sponsorship Fee_1

Wang Ye soon felt that being the president of the New Sun Group was not necessarily a good thing!

First of all, he was obviously busier than before...

The next day, just as he arrived at the company, Ivan knocked on the door and walked in.

"Mr. President, I’ve arranged a meeting with Chief Novich from the nearby police station. I spoke with him yesterday. In principle, he agrees to setting up a new patrol route for the New Sun Market. However, there’s a disagreement about the sponsorship fee. He would like to meet with you about it, what do you think..."

Wang Ye nodded and casually replied, "Let him come over."

After all, he was the top executive of the New Sun Group and his social status was just as high, if not higher than the chief of police!

Although the police station was a local power, the New Sun Group was backed by the Yukos Group and was just as influential.

Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t dare to mess with the New Sun Group!

The worst they could do was check IDs at the roadside and make a bit of extra money on the side, just to be a nuisance...

If Chief Novich wanted to meet and have a chat, he would need to make an appointment!

To put it simply, after taking this position, Wang Ye began to feel what "power" is.

Of course, his influence is still relatively small, and his status is not that high.

The pull of power to a man can be fatal!

Maybe until you haven’t experienced it, it doesn’t matter. But once you’ve experienced the feeling of having power, it’s hard to let go...

...

Before long, Ivan brought in a chubby middle-aged man in uniform.

"Mr. President, this is Chief Novich. Chief, this is our group president, Mr. Mikhail." Ivan introduced them both.

Novich quickly stepped forward with his hands outstretched and a face full of smiles, "Haha, nice to meet you, Mr. Mikhail. It’s an honor."

Wang Ye also stretched out his hand and exchanged pleasantries with a smile.

Novich’s humble appearance shouldn’t come as a surprise.

In those days, public officials like him had a tough life and didn’t have much real power.

Add to that, large corporations like New Sun Group and ACT Group were backed by high-level figures, and a small police chief like him couldn’t afford to offend them...

If he upset Wang Ye, simply a few words would be enough to push him into obscurity.

"Chief Novich, I heard that you have some concerns about our collaboration?"

As soon as he sat down, Wang Ye asked straightforwardly.

When dealing with Russians, Wang Ye had some tricks up his sleeve.

That is to not beat around the bush, be direct, and show your "strength" if you have it!

Foreigners are generally straightforward. If you are vague, they won’t understand!

But if your fist is hard enough, they will feel it very directly...

In traditional Chinese terms, they "fear power, not morality"!

Novich hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, no, Mr. Mikhail, don’t get me wrong. I fully agree with your company’s proposal to add a police patrol route to ensure the safety of the market. This is also a responsibility of our police station. But... our funds are limited. My men can’t even afford their families, ah..."

In the end, it all comes down to money, huh?

Wang Ye turned his head and asked Ivan next to him: "How much was the sponsorship fee you discussed with the chief?"

"Sixty thousand US dollars a month. But Chief Novich thinks it’s not enough. He says eighty thousand is a more reasonable figure." Ivan shrugged and replied.

Novich grinned and said, "We have more than a hundred people in our precinct and we can’t even guarantee sufficient patrol vehicles. The funding we receive is far too insufficient!"

Wang Ye thought for a moment and said directly, "Let’s make it a hundred thousand a month then! But I hope, Chief, that once you receive the money, you will do your job well. I don’t want any unpleasant incidents to occur in the future!"

Upon hearing the number "one hundred thousand," both Ivan and Novich were taken aback, but their reactions were different.

Ivan’s lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t.

After all, he was just a vice president, and the final decisions of the New Sun Group were still in Wang Ye’s hands.

On the other hand, Novich was overjoyed!

This was a hundred thousand US dollars!

Every month!

With just over a hundred people in his precinct, even if they split it evenly, each person would get a thousand US dollars...

You know, even his salary as the chief of police wasn’t that high. He earns just over five hundred US dollars a month.

The ordinary officers only made two to three hundred dollars...

Just the hundred thousand US dollars in sponsorship alone was way more than everyone’s salary combined!

You could even say that the New Sun Group had become their "provider."...

He immediately stood up and, hitting his chest as a promise, assured,"Mr. Mikhail, rest assured! Henceforth, the security of the New Sun Market will be our precinct’s top priority! I will invest at least half of our forces around here to ensure everything is secure."

Wang Ye nodded satisfactorily and added,"Also, keep in mind that this money can be considered as a donation from the merchants in the market. So in the future, don’t deliberately bother them by checking for their IDs."

Novich’s face flushed. He couldn’t deny what Wang Ye was implying, as it was well known by everyone.

He quickly assured, "Hehe, that will never happen again! I will warn the younger officers, and if we receive any complaints in the future, I will definitely deal with them!"

As he left, Novich eagerly invited Wang Ye to visit their precinct. But Wang Ye politely declined, saying he would consider it when he had time.

He had just taken over the New Sun Group and was busy with numerous tasks. He had no time for such visits.

...

After Novich had left, Ivan closed the office door and said with some concern, "Mr. President, did you perhaps agree to give them too much? A hundred thousand US dollars is not a small amount."

Wang Ye waved his hand, smiling, "It’s not money out of our pocket, so what’s there to worry about?"

"Ah? Not us? Then who?" Ivan asked with a puzzled face.

It seemed to him quite obvious that it was Wang Ye himself who had just promised Novich this commitment on behalf of the New Sun Group.

So, why wasn’t it the New Sun Group who was paying?

"Of course it’s from the merchants. We will add this expense to the management fee! We’re providing them with such an excellent and safe business environment, it’s countless times better than the ACT Market! The management fee couldn’t possibly stay the same as theirs! Hmm, from now on, the management fee for each stall will be increased to six hundred US dollars a month." Wang Ye casually suggested.

The management fee for the ACT Market was five hundred US dollars per stall per month, but Wang Ye had now set it to six hundred US dollars for the New Sun Market.

With three thousand stalls, this would increase their revenue by an additional three hundred thousand US dollars a month...
