Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth

Chapter 165: Chapter 165 Let’s Try It Out_1

The entire market was dominated by Russian laborers who did all the loading and unloading work.

If there weren’t any laborers to do the heavy-lifting, it would indeed pose a problem for the New Sun.

After all, you can’t expect the bosses themselves to do the heavy lifting...

One of the Russian workers, with a slightly better attitude, suggested, "We don’t need to rush. We are negotiating. We should come up with a solution that everyone can accept."

Then, Wang Ye spoke up.

He stubbed out his cigarette, looked directly at Lokayev, and said, "You want a solution? I’ll give you one."

All three Russians turned to look at him.

"Return all the deposits, plus an additional compensation of one hundred thousand US dollars. This is the final solution." Wang Ye said calmly.

Lokayev stood up abruptly, as if insulted, swinging his arms and saying, "Are you insulting us? Do you think we Caucasians are all greedy? I’m here for fairness! Do you understand the word ’fair’?"

Looking at his performance, Wang Ye felt like smashing the ashtray in front of him into his face...

And this guy has the audacity to talk about fairness?

Just a moment ago, he demanded five zones. Is that what he calls ’fair’?

He no longer had the patience to continue talking to these Russians, realizing they were just here to cause trouble!

In that case, he saw no reason to be pleasant to them.

"If you don’t like it, then let’s terminate the contract directly, without any compensation. Now, all of you, get out." Wang Ye pointed at the three Russians.

Oddly, this time Lokayev didn’t appear as angry.

His face darkened, and his sharp eyes glared at Wang Ye, "Are you sure? Have you considered the consequences of your words?"

"Go!" Wang Ye didn’t feel like saying another word.

Big Head Kong at the side was a little nervous.

Without saying another word, Lokayev gave a cold laugh, and left with the other two Russians.

.........

Seeing the trio leave, Big Head Kong hastily asked, "Why did you suddenly kick them out? I thought we were going to talk it out? Oh, I think we’re in big trouble. These Russians..."

Wang Ye answered impatiently, "How can we continue to discuss? You should’ve heard it yourselves that they weren’t planning to talk properly."

Big Head Kong could only shrug, "Then what should we do?"

"Get the security guards to kick them out! If we’re feeding these guards for free, it’s time for them to do their job!" Wang Ye said, emphasizing each word.

Big Head Kong sighed, "We should aim for peace and prosperity. There’s nothing good to gain by messing with these Russians. It’s just trouble. But since you’ve made up your mind, let’s proceed. But you should be more careful these days. Those guys are no pushovers."

After saying that, Big Head Kong left, leaving Wang Ye alone in the office.

He lit another cigarette and stood by the window to observe the scene outside.

At the entrance of Little Red Building, a group of tall and strong security guards was driving people out, pushing, and shoving the crowd of Russians.

Those Russians didn’t show any violent reaction, but continued to shout and swear.

After the crowd was dispersed, about a dozen security guards lined up at the entrance, making a path for Chinese businessmen to enter the management office to sign contracts and handle procedures.

However, it was clear that, though everyone was once eager to rent shops and sign contracts, many were now hesitating.

The number of people actually entering Little Red Building was very few...

.........

Wang Ye exhaled a sigh, feeling slightly frustrated.

Managing such a large wholesale and distribution market wasn’t going to be easy. All sorts of problems and challenges would come one after another, and Wang Ye was mentally prepared for that.

But he didn’t expect to encounter such a tricky problem before the market even opened!

It seemed that, even if he had extremely good luck, making money wouldn’t be smooth sailing. He would have to face the inevitable ups and downs.

After observing for a while, he took out his phone and dialed Maylov’s number.

He briefly described what happened on his end, then asked, "Are you familiar with these people? What’s their reputation in the ACT Group?"

Maylov paused for a moment before earnestly saying, "Misha, I actually just heard about this. I was planning to call you. Good thing, you called first. But let me make it clear, I had no knowledge about this incident, and I definitely didn’t direct them to do so!"

Both of them were smart. When something happened, Wang Ye’s first suspicion was Maylov.

And when Maylov told Wang Ye about the incident, he clarified that he had nothing to do with it.

Wang Ye chuckled, "I trust you, or else I wouldn’t have called you."

Hearing Wang Ye’s words, Maylov breathed a sigh of relief, laughing,

"That’s good, that’s good!

This Lokayev is quite a big guy. At least half of the Russian laborers in the ACT group are part of his...well, it wouldn’t be right to call it a gang, more like a clique, or something akin to a hometown association.

But this hometown association is definitely involved in the underworld. There’s a core group of people inside who don’t work and live off the management fees collected from the laborers. They also bought a significant number of shops in the ACT group to rent out for profit..."

Maylov gave a detailed introduction about Lokayev’s background. In the end, he advised earnestly, "Honestly, I do not want to cross paths with them. We are all here to do business. There’s no point in fighting with them. If it’s possible to reconcile, just give them some money to let it go. As long as you don’t become their enemy, they usually obey the rules."

With this information, Wang Ye felt reassured. He laughed and said, "I understand now. Thank you. Our cooperation still stands. I wouldn’t break the agreement first."

.........

Since arriving in Moscow at the beginning of January, Wang Ye had undertaken quite a few tasks.

Such as becoming the agent for SIM cards, Qingyun Study Abroad Service Company, Huaxing Communications Company, but these were just small steps, making a minor profit within the Chinese community.

Strictly speaking, taking over the New Sun Group was Wang Ye’s first big break in Moscow’s business circle!

And the collaboration with Maylov’s ACT Group was his first significant move.

However, the first step was not promising, encountering the current problem...

Wang Ye didn’t, however, seek help from Khodorkovsky, he hadn’t even mentioned this to him.

That’s because he needed to resolve this issue on his own!

Running to their ’parents’ at the slightest problem is a child’s act, something Wang Ye was not willing to do!

Perhaps many eyes were watching him, curious about how he would handle this situation.

Only by resolving this problem quickly and elegantly, Wang Ye would not only be seen as "Khodorkovsky’s nephew" in the eyes of the big shots, but also as the "real" President of New Sun Group, Mikhail Ivanofovsky Hodorkov...
