Chapter 310: Chapter 310 Some issues should be resolved_1

Khodorkovsky gave a slight smile, apparently satisfied with Wang Ye’s attitude.

Gently waving his hand, he said, "No, I did not help much in achieving the current success. It was mainly your own hard work, Misha!"

Indeed, if it weren’t for Wang Ye’s strong capabilities and exceptional talents, even if he had a relationship with Khodorkovsky, he would not have achieved his current success!

He would have probably been limited to the office of the President of the New Sun Group, Khodorkovsky would not give him more opportunities.

Real success must be earned through hard work. Depending on others’ charity is obviously unreliable.

......

Wang Ye hesitated and couldn’t resist reminding Khodorkovsky, "Uncle, the events that happened last night should have a significant effect on the oil industry."

"Ha-ha, we have already held an emergency meeting to analyze it, and the conclusion is that it is a great advantage for the oil industry! The international crude oil prices should skyrocket!" Khodorkovsky said with a joyful face, seemingly in a good mood.

"Well... actually, my thoughts are just the opposite. When everyone is optimistic, things tend to develop unexpectedly. I believe that in the next few years, oil prices will continue to be depressed," said Wang Ye seriously.

After hearing this, Khodorkovsky just kept shaking his head, dismissing the idea.

"No, you may have a very accurate judgement of the securities financial market, Misha, but the energy industry is different, this industry is rather simple, the price is only determined by the balance between demand and production. As long as the demand is high and the production is not excessive, the price will naturally continue to rise..."

Wang Ye wanted to remind him, but ended up getting a lesson from Khodorkovsky.

He had nothing to refute since his study of the energy industry certainly could not compare to Khodorkovsky’s...

Frankly, Wang Ye did not know why the international crude oil prices would continue to be low for quite a long period in the future. It was unusual.

But the problem is, in his "memory", that’s just the way it was!

Since Khodorkovsky did not agree, Wang Ye did not say more. After all, these energy giants actually have very low production costs. Even if the price of crude oil is not high, it’s just a matter of earning less money, and there is no possibility of a loss!

And Khodorkovsky has plenty of money, it is difficult to accurately estimate how much wealth he has, so if he earns less, then he earns less...

......

Although the event on September 11th was shocking, it only warranted a couple days of discussion for ordinary people.

Several days later, it seemed the whole world had calmed down. Apart from the discussions in the United States and various media outlets, ordinary people had lost interest, and life had returned to normal.

Wang Ye now spends two or three days a week going to school to attend classes, of course, in the political department of Moscow University.

He hadn’t shown himself at Friendship University since the start of the semester!

But he had heard about things at Friendship University.

Song Xiaogang and Yanzi had set off for Petersburg to start working on the hotel project there.

Angelina’s younger sister Nova had also started school normally, choosing a single room in the thirteenth-floor dormitory. Angelina had gone to see her and reportedly the conditions were quite good.

After arranging everything, Wang Ye had time to seriously consider the issue of Lyublino Large Market.

This matter had to be resolved sooner or later, and it was estimated that once he received the franchise certificate, the opposition wouldn’t take it well.

Next, either both sides could reach a conclusion and coexist peacefully.

Or, it would be a fight till the end...

......

On the morning of the 15th, after Wang Ye arrived at the office, he picked up his phone and called Maylov.

"Buddy, what have you been up to recently? It’s been a while since we last met."

Although there’s a significant age gap between them, Wang Ye did not regard Maylov as an elder, nor did he call Maylov ’Uncle’ as he did with A Bu.

Because, Maylov’s strength couldn’t earn Wang Ye’s respect...

In the business circle, strength is revered. Wang Ye’s strength is definitely stronger than Maylov’s now, so it’s completely fine for them to interact with each other on equal footing.

Maylov naturally did not mind this and was quite happy to receive Wang Ye’s call.

"Ha-ha, hello Misha, what else could I be busy with except the bunch of annoying things in the market? Thanks to you, business is doing quite well." He was laughing merrily.

"Actually, I am considering having a meeting with the boss from Lyublino Market, if there are any issues, it would be better for us to discuss these face to face. After all, in all of Russia, at present, we three have the only wholesale markets of a significant scale. Why can’t we collaborate and jointly drive our businesses to grow stronger?" Wang Ye explained his intention.

After pondering for a few seconds, Maylov applauded, "What you said is exactly right, Misha! I agree. We should indeed unite and it’s better for everyone to make money together."

"How well do you know the boss from Lyublino? Why not you invite him, we three people can have a meal together, and talk about it?" Wang Ye continued.

Maylov hesitated for a moment, he was not so familiar with the boss of Lyublino Market, only casually acquainted.

However, just inviting him for a meal would probably not be a problem.

Besides, if the discussions this time could be successful, it would also be beneficial for ACT Market.

After all, Lyublino was not just targeting the customers of New Sun Market, but also ACT Market’s customers...

"Alright then! I’ll invite him over to talk. Where should we set it up?" Maylov agreed readily.

Wang Ye laughed, "I presume the other party doesn’t trust me and might be afraid to come into our territory. Similarly, I don’t want to go into his territory to negotiate. Let’s set it up in a place where everyone feels comfortable, choose a public place, and there’ll be less random nonsense. Turandot Restaurant is fine, we can dine whilst talking."

You can’t blame Wang Ye for being "fearful," he genuinely does not understand the character of the boss from the Lyublino Market, and doesn’t know if the other party might turn desperate.

So, he chose to meet the other party at Turandot, which is a public place and the diners there are either rich or noble!

Under normal circumstances, no one dares to make a fuss there...

"Ah, that’s quite a nice place. Then you wait for my news. I will call the other party in a while to arrange a meeting. We can set up a time for us all to dine together." Maylov responded straightforwardly.

.........

A short while after hanging up, Maylov called back saying that the other party had agreed to the meeting.

The time was set for 7:00 this evening, at the Turandot Restaurant. Don’t be late!
