Chapter 602: Chapter 602: Let’s Do It Somewhere Else _1

"I plan to acquire a Premier League club, probably Arsenal. I want you to take charge of this."

Wang Ye said to Rossiyana in the office.

Actually, Kaja would be a better fit for this task, as she’s Wang Ye’s personal stewardess.

But Kaja has just overseen the acquisition of the three big car brands and is still busy handling subsequent procedures, she can’t spare the time right now.

So Wang Ye had to assign it to Rossiyana. After all, this isn’t a big matter and Rossiyana should be able to handle it.

Rossiyana was taken aback. She didn’t expect Wang Ye to suddenly decide to buy a Premier League club.

She blurted out, "A Premier League Club? Arsenal? Why buy that?"

Wang Ye shrugged nonchalantly, "Just for fun. A Bu was planning to buy a Premier League club, so I casually bought one too. We both plan on participating in the local derby for fun."

Rossiyana was at a loss for words.

These damn Oligarchs!

That’s a Premier League Club!

The acquisition price alone would cost hundreds of millions of US dollars. Moreover, the subsequent investment was even more massive. Spending hundreds of millions of dollars, just for fun?

Is it like buying a toy?

That’s way too extravagant!

Although she couldn’t comprehend, Rossiyana agreed promptly. After all, she wasn’t spending her own money.

This young man earns money so easily that if he doesn’t splurge, he indeed will find it hard to spend all...

Rossiyana knew that Wang Ye made more than a billion dollars just in dividends recently.

"Okay, I’ll take care of it. But, will there be a team to cooperate with me or do I need to assemble an acquisitions team to head over to London myself?" Rossiyana asked.

A Bu had discussed this with Wang Ye over the phone. He has a professional team for this and Wang Ye just needed to assign a person to oversee it.

At that time, the team will get in touch with both clubs. But initially, it won’t divulge who the prospective financier is behind the scenes. They will simply state that a family fund is commissioning it.

This approach could keep the price down and also maintain a competitive relationship between the two different clubs. This also allows them to feel that the acquisition isn’t club-specific as per se.

But the real goal is to acquire both clubs!

Therefore, even if this was assigned to Rossiyana, she did not need to spend too much time on it.

She just needs to step in at key negotiation stages. The preliminary work will be taken care of by the acquisition team.

However, the process won’t be quick. After all, a back-and-forth bargaining process alone takes a while.

According to A Bu’s estimate, everything would be settled by next summer, around the end of the 2002-2003 Premier League season.

Had Wang Ye been handling this personally, he surely would have got it done in the shortest amount of time. He doesn’t have the patience to waste time on this-even if it meant having to pay tens of millions extra!

However, the problem was that this was a Bu-led acquisition, so Wang Ye could not overstep his boundaries.

So, he could just wait. There was no urgency anyway.

...

His cousin Ruan Xiaozhu called him up to report on the year’s performance, referring to him as the ’Boss’.

Wang Ye said that wasn’t necessary. After all, how much could the two companies she managed actually make...?

But Xiaozhu got angry, accusing Wang Ye of ignoring the two smaller companies she was in charge of, simply because he had become more successful. As though he was looking down on her now.

Speechless, Wang Ye could only agree, setting aside an afternoon to listen to Ruan Xiaozhu’s report.

And after the report, he would treat her to a feast in appreciation of her hard work throughout the year...

Ruan Xiaozhu stressed that she wanted to report in the Duma Building, as she hasn’t been there yet. This was a perfect opportunity for her to visit the legendary Duma Building!

...

Ruan Xiaozhu was led to Wang Ye’s office by Yelena.

Looking at the several beautiful assistants in the outer office, then at Rossiyana in the inner office, Ruan Xiaozhu’s facial expression was a bit peculiar.

Wang Ye warmly stood up to greet Ruan Xiaozhu. He even made an excuse to dismiss Rossiyana, leaving only himself and Ruan Xiaozhu in the room.

This way it was more convenient to talk with each other, avoiding any chance of accidentally revealing anything.

Seeing no outsiders in the room, Ruan Xiaozhu finally relaxed. Smiling wryly, she said,

"Well done! You surrounded by all of these beauties, you must feel very accomplished! So satisfied! What about Angelina, and Nalan Yaqi... and that one... what’s her name... Kaja? Aren’t they enough? You men, ah!"

She’s quite friendly with Nalan Yaqi and her relationship with Angelina was good too, so she was naturally going to stand up for them.

But it was just her, who could, dare to say these things in front of Wang Ye.

If others knew, they could only pretend as if they didn’t know.

After all, Ruan Xiaozhu was, more or less, Wang Ye’s cousin!

Although she didn’t often assert herself as his cousin in front of Wang Ye, occasionally doing so wouldn’t offend Wang Ye.

As expected, Wang Ye responded with a bitter smile, shaking his head and saying patiently, "Sister Xiaozhu, you can’t just look at their appearances. These assistants are all highly educated and very helpful to my work. I chose them based on their abilities, not their looks. Moreover, I’m not sensitive to girls’ looks. I can’t tell the difference between who is pretty and who is not. They all look the same to me."

Ruan Xiaozhu burst into laughter at his response.

This guy was blatantly lying!

Ignoring whether girls were pretty or not?

And feeling they all looked the same?

Then how come the assistants he chose and the girlfriends he had were all more beautiful than the last!?

What a coincidence, there wasn’t even a single average looking one, let alone an ugly one!

Like anyone would believe that!

But Ruan Xiaozhu didn’t dwell on the topic. She was smart. She knew that bringing it up once was enough. This way, she won’t anger Wang Ye and it actually made their ’cousin-brother’ relationship stronger.

But if she persisted, people may find her annoying...

Pretending to be here to report on work was a ruse, she just wanted to visit Duma Group building, and chat with Wang Ye.

The two companies that Ruan Xiaozhu was overseeing had done well this year. But there was limited growth thus the performance couldn’t be any better than this.

Plus, there was a dividend payout midway through the year, so there isn’t much money left to be divided at the end of the year.

Of course, this ’not much money’ was in terms of Wang Ye.

It’s still over a million US dollars...

After hearing that, Wang Ye nodded and casually said, "Sister Xiaozhu, are you interested in trying out different companies?"

Wang Ye had too many companies under him that Ruan Xiaozhu could choose from. Just considering the recently acquired three major automobile brands, which now formed part of the Russian Auto Group, Wang Ye needed a reliable person to oversee the operations there.
