Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth

Chapter 237: Chapter 237 Seamless Sky_1

A Bu understood in an instant!

There was no need to read the letter, the content inside was certainly as Mikhail said.

He swallowed, a little sweaty on his back.

What a scheme!

It was impeccably cunning!

If he wasn’t roped into it, A Bu would have felt like applauding...

To digest this, or rather this acquisition case, four forces were involved.

Berezov was one of the key figures, holding seventy percent of Siberian Oil Company shares. To accomplish this acquisition, Berezov was someone indispensable.

But he has offended The Emperor and has fled to London.

Mr. Hofchinco was also a key figure because he was the buyer, the one providing the funds!

Even though he was possibly the richest of Russia’s oligarchs, without the "one of", the relationship between Mr. Hofchinco and The Emperor was rather tense...

The third party, naturally, was A Bu himself.

He not only owned ten percent of the shares of the Siberian Oil Company but was also a good friend of Berezov, managing his seventy percent of shares.

This also made him a key figure who could not be bypassed.

The fourth party appeared to have no relation to this acquisition case on the surface, but in reality, no one dared to ignore their opinion — for they were known as The Emperor!

A Bu understood the intentions of The Emperor and Gavriil; they wished to "sanction" Berezov, but were cautious of international impact, and did not want Mr. Hofchinco’s oil business to continue to grow, so they had always opposed this acquisition.

Because of the complexity of these four forces’ relationships, the acquisition case took a long time to settle.

But now, because one person has stepped forward, it has changed everything.

This person was Mikhail!

.........

A Bu’s hand touched the letter, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the envelope.

There was no need to read it, the content inside surely was as Mikhail had said and the handwriting was definitely Berezov’s.

He was considering what he should do.

Should he follow the proposal put forward by Mikhail?

If he supported his plan and sold Berezov’s shares to Yukos for thirty billion US dollars, and then donated the thirty billion US dollars to the country, the deal would be successful, with benefits for all sides.

The side of Mr. Hofchinco, the one providing the funds, would gain control over the Siberian Oil Company for much less money.

And the Kremlin not only would get rid of the problem of Berezov but would also receive a huge amount of thirty billion dollars!

As for himself, he has sold his ten percent shares at a solid price...

Of course, Berezov would be the only "unlucky one", not only would his core assets be "confiscated", but his life would not be spared!

A Bu suddenly looked up and asked Wang Ye, "Was it you who set up this plan?"

It was a seemingly-rhetorical question, but Wang Ye knew what he was asking about. He smiled and shook his head, neither acknowledging nor denying the claim.

He said, "Uncle A Bu, it’s not necessary to know everything too clearly; it only adds to your worries. You just need to know that once I got involved in this, the outcome was predestined! Sign it, don’t think too much."

After saying this, he pushed another document towards A Bu.

Naturally, it was regarding the acquisition of eighty percent of Siberian Oil Company’s shares by Polar Bear Investment!

A Bu stared at Wang Ye blankly for a moment, then a shy smile appeared on his face again. He nodded, saying, "No wonder Mr. Hofchinco and Gavriil admire you so much; Misha, you are truly remarkable! I agree to this acquisition."

After finishing speaking, A Bu opened the contract, quickly read through it, and then signed his name!

Wang Ye stood up and offered his right hand with a smile, "Uncle A Bu, good doing business with you."

A Bu also stood up and chuckled bitterly, shaking his head, "I don’t think I want to deal with you in the future."

"Haha, wasn’t the price I offered enough?" Wang Ye laughed.

"No, the price was quite good. But the feeling of being led by the nose ... it doesn’t feel good!" said A Bu in resignation.

Perhaps, this acquisition was the most frustrating he had ever felt since he began his business dealings!

He had no room to bargain. He had to do whatever he was told without daring to entertain thoughts of rebellion.

Because A Bu was well aware of who stood behind Wang Ye.

"Let’s get everyone in here, and we’ll announce this matter." Wang Ye added.

A Bu nodded, "Okay, will you make the announcement or should I?"

Wang Ye responded humbly, "Of course it should be you, uncle. You can even tell everyone about Mr. Berezov’s decision to donate his assets out of love for the country."

.........

The executives of the Siberian Oil Company, along with Ivan and others, filed into the conference room upon receiving the notice and returned to their seats.

Everyone was speculating; what had Wang Ye and A Bu discussed behind closed doors?

Looking at their faces now, Wang Ye was smiling while A Bu had an unusual expression.

It seemed...

Sad?

After everyone had settled, A Bu stood and announced with a grave expression, "Just received the news, Mr. Berezov... has passed away!"

The meeting room was immediately filled with uproar, everyone looking at each other in astonishment, especially the executives of the Siberian Oil Company, who couldn’t believe their ears.

Without waiting for questions, A Bu continued, "I just received the news. As for the cause of death, it’s not clear yet.

But, Mr. Berezov left a statement of intent kind of letter in my charge before, and I’ll simply share its content now.

In his letter, Mr. Berezov had told me that although he had left the country for a variety of reasons and settled in London, he still harbored a deep love for this country in his heart!

When he passed away, he intended to sell his shares of the Siberian Oil Company to his good friend, Mr. Hofchinco, at a price of thirty billion US dollars.

Because he believed that the Siberian Oil Company could only thrive under the command of Mr. Hofchinco.

The funds received from selling his shares, Mr. Berezov has asked me to donate all to the country, hoping to make his own contribution to the country and its people.

Given the reasons above, I have just signed a merger agreement with Mr. Mikhail and have signed the contract.

As of today, eighty percent of the shares of Siberian Oil Company belong to Polar Bear Investment..."

These words from A Bu, like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, shocked everyone in the meeting room...
