Chapter 306: Chapter 306 How to Appropriately Distribute Shares_1

At this moment, countless people around the world were watching television.

What was happening on the television screen was shocking everyone!

This was far more breathtaking than any special effects in Hollywood blockbusters...

Although the visual impact might not be on par, this was real, and it was happening right before their eyes!

To witness potentially hundreds or thousands of lives vanishing right before their own eyes was a feeling that most people had never experienced.

Wang Ye swallowed hard, his mood turning extremely somber.

Although he had known that this would happen, and even knew that it was far from over and that more tragic events would occur soon, it was still hard to bear.

Back in his previous life, he had only heard about it from his teachers and classmates the day after it happened.

Admittedly, Wang Ye’s first reaction had been indifference, because he was just a Chinese student studying abroad, he had never been to the United States and had no connection with it at all.

So it seemed that this horrific event in the United States had no impact on him, he even felt a bit amused...

After all, many Chinese do not hold a good impression of the United States.

But in this life, he stood in front of the television, watching all this happening irreversibly. His maturity far exceeded that of his previous life at this age, thus he felt heavier in his heart.

At this moment, his phone rang again. It was a call from Khodorkovsky.

As soon as the call was connected, Khodorkovsky’s voice came through, "Misha, how did you know today’s event would happen?"

His tone was full of disbelief, even shock!

Although the question was abrupt, Wang Ye understood what he meant.

About ten days earlier, about this time in the evening, he had approached Khodorkovsky to borrow five hundred million US dollars in cash!

The reason was he wanted to make speculative investment by shorting the US stock market index!

He also told Khodorkovsky that he thought some problems would occur in the United States soon, which would inevitably cause a major drop in the market.

At that time, Khodorkovsky had looked at him with disbelief. Khodorkovsky probably lent him so much money because of their relationship.

However, after tonight’s incident, when Khodorkovsky regained his composure, his first reaction was to recall what Wang Ye had said to him ten days ago.

He instinctively connected the two events and immediately called Wang Ye.

Wang Ye sighed helplessly and said, "Of course, I didn’t know that such a thing would happen today! It was just my intuition that the US stock market is going to have a problem. It’s a prediction based on technical analysis. But it’s quite complicated and hard to explain. As for what happens today, except for those involved, no one could possibly know!"

He quickly absolved himself of any association with the event.

Joking aside, who would dare to get involved in such a thing? This incident was almost like unearthing the "ancestral graves" of the United States.

If the United States suspected him to be associated with this incident, even the Emperor might hesitate to protect him.

After all, the current Emperor was not fully grown, and was not yet in its "complete form".

On hearing this, Khodorkovsky was relieved. His worry had made him forget to consider realistically where Wang Ye would have gotten the strength and courage to do such a thing.

There was no way he had orchestrated such a shocking event for a five hundred million dollar investment, that was too inconceivable...

Furthermore, Wang Ye didn’t have such capability!

There would be very few entities in the whole world – whether countries, organizations or individuals – with both the motive and the ability to carry out such an event!

"Then you...Your luck is too good!"

In the end, Khodorkovsky could only say helplessly.

He had lent money to Wang Ye expecting to lose the entire amount.

But he had never anticipated such an event happening in the United States. Even if he didn’t understand the stock market, he could also figure out that there would certainly be a sharp drop in the US stock market!

Wouldn’t Wang Ye make a fortune then!

Making money this way was simply inexplicable and could only be attributed to luck. There was no other explanation.

Wang Ye played along, "Yes, I was really lucky this time. I initially just wanted to make a little bit, but it seems now that I’m going to make a lot."

Khodorkovsky had a sudden inspiration, switching his topic, "How do you plan to use the money you earn this time?"

Wang Ye hesitated for a moment, he had not really thought about this yet.

Although Milna had not reported back, the money earned this time would certainly be not less. Five hundred million was the minimum, even one billion US dollars was possible.

How to manage so much money was indeed an issue.

It couldn’t just be kept in a bank to accrue interest...

And his own Xiao Ying Group currently did not need that much capital.

After a moment of hesitation, Wang Ye responded, "I haven’t thought about it yet. It all happened so suddenly. Probably, I will take this money for some investments. Oh, personal investments. Those won’t compete with Polar Bear Investment company."

"Ha, ha, I knew it. Since they are all investments, why separate them then? The Polar Bear Investment Company was under your full responsibility anyway, but it didn’t give you any shares. Why not merge the money you earned this time, and from now on, you can be the real boss of this company too." Khodorkovsky laughed heartily.

"So...the proportion of shares is determined by the amount of the investment?" Wang Ye asked tentatively.

Khodorkovsky paused for a moment, " Well, if you can put in one billion US dollars this time, then you will get 51% of the shares in Polar Bear Investment Company! If it is five hundred million US dollars, then you would have 30% of the shares."

Wang Ye was stunned when he heard this arrangement.

On second thought it seemed that the less money he invested, the more benefits he would receive?

Because from a normal person’s perception, 30% of shares for five hundred million US dollars, then one billion US dollars should be 60% of shares, but Khodorkovsky only offered 51%, wasn’t that a bit stingy!

He might as well just invest five hundred million US dollars!

But Wang Ye was not a fool. After doing a little calculation, he realized that actually putting in one billion US dollars and taking up 51% of the shares would be a great deal!

Because the original capital of Polar Bear Investment Company was two billion US dollars.

Now, he only needs to put in five hundred million US dollars, only 20% of the total capital after investment, but could have 30% of the shares, which meant 10% more.

If he invests one billion US dollars, his capital would account for 33.3% of the total, but he would have 51% of the shares, nearly 18% more.

So, as long as he made enough money from the US stock market, Wang Ye would definitely invest one billion US dollars and get 51% shares of Polar Bear Investment.

Because with this proportion, he would surpass Khodorkovsky and become the largest shareholder of Polar Bear Company!
