Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Difficult Choices_1

"It’s May 6th now, and Wang Ye arrived in Moscow on January 1st. All in all, it has only been four months and a few days.

But the person he is now, compared to who he was four months ago, has undergone a drastic transformation!

In terms of his career, Wang Ye now owns 50% of the shares in the Qingyun Study Abroad Service Company and 50% in the Huaxing Communications Company.

But these are not the main things, the real prize lies with the New Sun Group and the Xiao Ying Hotel!

He holds 20% of the shares in the New Sun Group, along with the ownership of 300 shops across three streets.

And the complete ownership of the Xiao Ying Hotel!

How much is all this worth?

It’s not easy to tell because it’s hard to accurately value the shares of the New Sun Group and the property ownership of the Xiao Ying Hotel.

Because both industries’ worth may lie more in the hidden aspects!

As for the New Sun Group, the cost of successfully lobbying high-level contacts and getting market approval would be astronomical.

The Xiao Ying Hotel is not simple either, because this hotel is the only one in all of Moscow, or even all of Russia, that has a gambling license!

Of course, the gambling license is not "full power." It is greatly restricted.

It only allows for entertaining machines such as slot machines and does not allow face-to-face betting formats like Texas Hold ’em.

But even so, it’s still a gambling license...

At present, in Russia, the law does not allow for the opening of casinos.

I really don’t know how Maylov managed to get the gambling license for the Xiao Ying Hotel.

But it should have been heavily restricted, and this gambling license isn’t really worth that much. Based on Wang Ye’s observation of the few times he’s been to Xiao Ying Hotel, there doesn’t seem to be many customers playing with slot machines.

But Wang Ye still feels this is a huge untapped ’diamond’!

Maylov did not utilize the full potential of this gambling license. When it falls into his hands...

..........

Now he has money and a successful business.

Even women, he has two...

One might say he has achieved both fame and fortune, right?

But Wang Ye still hasn’t told his family about all of these achievements. In his recent phone calls with them, he only mentioned his classes at school and nothing else.

It’s not that he wants to hide it from his family; he just really hasn’t thought about how to tell his parents...

Because even from Wang Ye’s point of view, all the things that happened to him, especially recently, were just too...magical!

If he were to tell his family, they probably would think he’s gone crazy!

In addition, they might worry about him...

After thinking about it, Wang Ye felt torn.

His family isn’t well-off financially because they sent him abroad.

Of course, it’s not like they’re struggling, as both of his parents have stable jobs, and they’re doing quite well locally.

Yet, he’s living lavishly here, buying a Porsche sports car for his girlfriend at the drop of a hat!

And his family hasn’t bought a car yet, his old man can only drive the company’s worn-out Santana.

This seems to make him appear rather unfilial...

Given his current resources, it would be easy for him to give his parents a luxurious life.

But he hasn’t thought of how to manange the events that happened after coming to Moscow, or what excuse he could use to send money to his family.

So, at night when going to sleep, Wang Ye suddenly asked Angelina, who was beside him: ’If you were me, would you tell your parents everything?’

Angelina understood what Wang Ye meant. She knew that Wang Ye’s family wasn’t very wealthy.

Of course, she also understood that since Wang Ye asked her this, it means he hadn’t told his family about everything that happened here.

After hesitating a bit and serious contemplation, she reluctantly replied, ’I really don’t know, maybe not.’

’Why?’ Wang Ye further asked.

’Sometimes, withholding the truth isn’t necessarily deception or ill-intentions. It could be just a matter of not wanting to worry one’s family. Also, suddenly getting so much money, not only would the family be surprised, but even oneself would find it hard to adapt,’ Angelina answered.

This echoed Wang Ye’s thoughts...

’Oh well, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. There’s no need for my family to raise money for my tuition this summer vacation. I’m not returning home this time. We’ll talk about it when I go back next year,’ Wang Ye sighed.

He had already told his parents that when he came on January 1st, he wouldn’t be returning for this year’s summer vacation.

So it would only be next year’s summer vacation that he will go back home.

Firstly, there is not a lot of time as he has only a half-year pre-college course to complete because he arrived late.

Secondly, of course, he didn’t have money for travel. For Wang Ye back then and his parents, a return flight ticket is a considerable expense!

..........

The next day, with a Mercedes Benz and a Cruiser, Wang Ye and Angelina, along with their four bodyguards, went to the auto trade again.

They were planning to buy a car for Angelina.

As soon as their car entered the dealership and parked in front of the lobby, a salesperson was already there to meet them.

With such an entourage, it’s clear that they’re big clients!

Wang Ye didn’t waste time and directly asked upon getting out of the car, ’Do you have a Porsche 911? In stock!’

’Yes, yes, please come inside,’ the Russian salesman said while nodding and bowing.

Although Russians are known to be arrogant and look down upon foreigners, it depends on the situation and the person.

Just looking at the massive men following Wang Ye, a common Russian would be more than ’friendly’...

Not to mention that Wang Ye was here to spend money.

Under the salesperson’s guidance, Wang Ye and Angelina went inside the showroom.

This showroom can be described as ’huge’. When Wang Ye visited last time, he only saw the SUV section.

In another corner, there is a sports car section.

Here, one can find Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, all in one place!

Thinking about how a university professor only earns five hundred US dollars and then seeing these luxury cars here, one would really get a magical feeling...

One could say that in Moscow, the rich are truly rich!

And the poor, they are truly poor...

’Do you want to buy another brand? Ferrari and Lamborghini are better than Porsche,’ Wang Ye asked Angelina while standing beside her.

Indeed, Porsche, at most, can be considered a luxury car, but not a supercar. When compared to Ferrari and Lamborghini, it is definitely the lesser.

Since he already intended to buy a car for Angelina, Wang Ye didn’t skimp and planned to go for the best right away.

Consider it a compensation for her, so that she wouldn’t give him a hard time in the future...

’No, no, Porsche is pretty good. There’s no need to buy a more expensive car. Besides, I’m not too skilled at driving yet. If the car’s performance is too strong, it might lead to accidents,’ Angelina shook her head and said.

Wang Ye thought it over, that makes sense. For now, he could first buy her a Porsche to practice with.

Once she becomes proficient at driving, they could buy a better car..."
