Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth

Chapter 487: Chapter 487: Not Unimportant_1

The situation was urgent, so the ceremony for Mumu to succeed as the tribe chief was rather simple, just a formality. He immediately began fulfilling his responsibilities as the tribe chief.

The first thing he did was to sign a formal cooperation agreement with several Wagner employees that had been dispatched.

He entrusted the Wagner Security Company to assist his tribe in resisting "foreign enemies" as a reward.

The newly discovered diamond mine, fifty percent of its shares belonged to the Wagner Company.

Furthermore, a ten square kilometer piece of land was set aside for a ninety-nine-year lease for the Wagner Company to establish their base.

Of course, since this base was located within the territory of Mumu’s tribe, the two parties formed an alliance.

Whenever Mumu’s tribe faced any danger in the future, the Wagner Security Company, unshirking, would provide necessary aid!

As for the conflict with the rival tribe, they had also gained a clear understanding. What shocked the Wagner employees was the outdated weaponry used by the tribes in their conflicts...

Homemade guns and old AK47’s, even heavy machine guns were hard to find!

Let alone armored cars, artillery cannons and these kinds of heavy equipment...

However, this was understandable since this place was so poor!

Moreover, the tribal armed forces weren’t a regular military force. They were self-organized within the tribes. It was not easy to get firearms, the money to obtain these weapons was like squeezing blood from a stone.

Even though both tribes had quite a number of people, the number of armed tribal men was not high.

The so-called troops organized by Mumu’s tribe were only over five hundred people.

The number of people in the rival tribe was also similar.

Originally, both sides should have been evenly matched, but because the other side had hired mercenaries, over a hundred well-trained heavily equipped mercenaries routed Mumu’s tribe completely. Even the gold mine was now occupied by them.

......

When Petrov received the formal contract and battle reports from Burkina Faso, his team was already organized and on their way to Africa on a large amphibious landing ship.

This large amphibious landing ship was rented from the Black Sea Fleet because the one the Wagner Company had ordered had not been delivered yet.

Despite renting warships from Russia sounding strange, it wasn’t unusual at that time. All one needed was to pay.

Not just Russia, but even Ukraine made quite a bit of money from renting out various large military transport aircraft such as the famous AN-225.

Petrov originally wanted to rent the AN-225 and directly transport the personnel and equipment over, after all, planes are much faster than ships.

But unfortunately, conditions in Burkina Faso were too poor. They couldn’t find an airport that could handle the landing of such large transport aircraft...

Let alone the world’s largest transport aircraft, AN-225. They couldn’t even find an airport where the smaller AN-124 could land.

Including the neighboring countries, no suitable airport could be found. Therefore, they rented an amphibious landing ship in the end and transported over two hundred combat troops, along with more than ten armored vehicles.

This was certainly enough!

......

All these matters were none of Wang Ye’s concern.

He had even more important matters to attend to now.

The appointment as the chairman of United Aviation Group had officially come down, and he was to assume office soon.

Fortunately, the headquarters of this newly established group company was located in Moscow, not in the city center, but near the southwest corner of the city, almost in the suburbs.

This was originally the Mikoyan Design Bureau, but since it was incorporated into the United Aviation Group, it was temporarily requisitioned as the group’s headquarters.

The first batch of companies merged included Irkut, Mig, Sukhoi, Ilushin and Tupolev, five aircraft manufacturing companies.

The Mikoyan Design Bureau actually belonged to the Mig Group. The famous Mig series fighters came from this design bureau.

Today, Wang Ye called the senior executives of the United Aviation Group for the first time. That is, he called the heads of the companies that have been merged to hold a meeting to discuss how the United Aviation Group should develop in the future.

Of course, Wang Ye also planned to appoint a group general manager to handle the group’s daily affairs.

He is the chairman, and he has many other important tasks to do, naturally, he cannot handle the daily affairs of the United Aviation Group every day.

What Wang Ye needed to do was to formulate the development strategy for the United Aviation Group, form an effective management team, and invest enough funds...

As for the senior management of several companies that have merged, Wang Ye has asked his assistant to collect information in advance to understand them.

The candidate for group general manager would definitely be selected from these people. After all, the Aviation Group is a highly specialized company, ordinary laymen really can’t handle it.

Including Wang Ye himself. If he was really asked to handle the Group’s daily affairs, he would be just as at a loss because he really didn’t understand...

......

The newly appointed Group Chairman hadn’t arrived yet, but in the group headquarters’ main meeting room, the branch heads had already arrived early.

They were subordinates, of course, they had to arrive earlier than the boss.

Taking advantage of the time while waiting for the chairman, several people began to chat while each nursing their own thoughts.

"You all know who the group chairman is, right? The youngest member of Duma, a member of the Economic Committee, the nephew of the richest man, Khodorkovsky, Mikhail! He’s a big shot!" The boss of Irkut said meaningfully.

The other few people looked at each other and smiled.

The boss of the Sukhoi Company seemed to have a hot temper, he frowned and said: "It’s another layman guiding the professionals! I don’t care how high his background is, I just want to know, does he know how to design and build planes! A twenty-something-year-old, who knows nothing and probably hasn’t even finished university, is qualified to guide us, a group of experts who have been struggling in the industry for decades? This is messing around!"

Obviously, it wasn’t just him who thought this way.

Not everyone was convinced by the new chairman appointed by the upper echelons, especially the bosses.

They each used to be the general manager of their respective companies, with their own territories where their says were final.

They also all once enjoyed limitless success, producing all kinds of world-renowned fighter jets, bombers, and transport aircraft.

However, now, a word from above has demanded all companies be merged!

Being merged is acceptable enough. They probably wouldn’t have complained as much if a seasoned professional was appointed as chairman.

But now, a twenty-something-year-old man, without any aviation industry experience, has been sent to be their head!

Who could bear this?

Of course, this wasn’t the key issue.

The key issue was, they all had a chance to compete for the "throne" of the group chairman. But then someone was directly parachuted in from above, leaving them filled with indignation...
