Chapter 643: Chapter 643 New Shareholder in Place_1

Rossiyana was a bit surprised at Wang Ye’s performance today.

He was gentle when he needed to be, strict at necessary moments, he reasoned rationally and when necessary, he ruthlessly used his authority as the director!

In short, he had had Ajiv and Alexander run around in circles...

With such tactics, it was hard to see him as a newcomer who had just taken office, if you didn’t know, you’d think that Wang Ye was an old hand in politics like Grezlov and Gavriil.

Honestly speaking, Rossiyana didn’t think she could do it herself.

Looking at Wang Ye, who was the same age as her, how could she not admire him...

...

After listening to Rossiyana’s praise, Wang Ye smiled but said nothing.

He went to the refrigerator, opened the door, and took out a chilled bottle of Corona beer.

The turquoise green glass bottle gave a refreshing feeling just by looking at it.

"What do you want to drink? Orange juice again?" He asked casually.

Rossiyana usually drank orange juice or coffee, she rarely drank beer.

"Orange juice, thanks. Also, Boss, about the Industry Representatives Conference, is it really going to be convened?" Rossiyana persistently asked.

Wang Ye initially nodded, then shook his head, and said in a relaxed tone, "The procedure needs to move forward, but whether the delegate’s conference will ultimately be held or not is uncertain."

Rossiyana didn’t understand what Wang Ye meant, what was uncertain?

After a moment, Wang Ye explained simplistically to her, after all, they were now partners in the same group, sharing weal and woe.

Quite a few matters needed to be gradually introduced to Rossiyana.

"Do you understand why I disagreed to have Alexander in charge of the industry conference and risked taking control by using my authority as the director?" Wang Ye asked with a smile.

Rossiyana frowned in thought and replied, "If Alexander were in charge, there would be no room for maneuver in this matter, he would definitely collude with the Ministry of Energy to force the Yukos Group to accept the new system!"

Wang Ye nodded, "You are half correct, another point being that I need to buy more time for the Yukos Group.

You must have heard Alexander’s stance just now, he’s anxious to convene the industry meeting today and get the decision settled as soon as possible.

Apparently, they hope to get this done as quickly as possible, to avoid any unexpected issues.

But I intend to stall them at this point, which is within my authority so they can’t say anything about it.

After taking control, why did I add two new steps? For two reasons: selecting the enterprise representative and seeking opinions from private enterprises."

Without waiting for her response, Wang Ye continued:

"Doing so, firstly, is to delay the progress, as I mentioned earlier, the Yukos Group still needs more time for stock reorganization.

Furthermore, the more stages there are, the longer the process, and the greater the chances of something unexpected happening!"

Rossiyana’s eyes lit up, and she hastily asked, "What kind of unexpected event?"

Wang Ye grinned and casually replied, "Who knows? Let’s wait and see."

...

It was now past noon, which was just over seven in the morning in China.

Wang Ye called home.

Today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and since he wasn’t able to go back, he decided to at least call home to send his New Year greetings.

The call was immediately answered.

Clearly, his parents were already up. If Wang Ye were at home for the New Year, he wouldn’t be up this early.

"Happy New Year, Mom and Dad." Wang Ye said, with a smile.

His dad must have put him on speaker because he could hear both his parent’s voices.

His father, chuckling, responded, "Happy New Year, why are you calling so early? When you’re at home, you never get up this early."

His mother asked, "Xiaoye, how are you celebrating the New Year there? Do you have dumplings to eat?"

"The time difference, Mom. It’s already past noon here. Dumplings? Of course, I had a local Chinese restaurant deliver a table-full of Chinese food for lunch, it’s very sumptuous." Wang Ye joked.

At this point of time, there were no smartphones or developed internet.

Otherwise, a video call would have been much easier.

Wang Ye wasn’t lying. Right before he went to the meeting, he asked Nova to contact the Turandot Restaurant, and asked their Chinese chefs to cook a lavish Chinese lunch, which was delivered over.

Actually, the Turandot Restaurant doesn’t usually offer delivery services.

But this once, being Deputy Speaker Duma Mikhail’s special request, an exception could be made...

The food had arrived, he would eat with his assistants after the call. It was their simple way of celebrating the New Year.

No one would suspect anything, after all, Wang Ye had Chinese ancestry...

After asking about how his parents were doing, Wang Ye learned that his parents were preparing to join the big family lunch, as per their tradition.

Relatives like aunts and uncles would join, it would be a big, lively gathering.

It was a pity that Wang Ye couldn’t go back, otherwise, he’d be the center of attention at the family banquet, just like last year...

...

Whether something unexpected can happen with the industry meeting is still unknown.

However, the stock reorganisation of the Yukos Group proceeded smoothly without any hiccups!

On February 3rd, Wang Ye received a call from Khodorkovsky, asking him to attend a board meeting.

The results of the group reorganisation were in.

A lot of people had gathered in the grand meeting room.

When Wang Ye walked in, everyone was already there, waiting for him.

He scanned the room and noticed, besides a few familiar faces, there were several new ones.

And these newcomers seemed to be not Russians, but from Europe and the United States.

Even among them, Wang Ye noticed a few Asian faces, to be precise, Chinese...

Although to the foreigners, Asians, especially those from East Asian countries like China, Japan, Korea, all looked alike.

But actually there are differences.

In Moscow, there are quite a lot of people from countries like China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, etc. To the Russians, they were all Asians, all looking the same.

But East Asians could usually distinguish between them.

The couple of people in the meeting room, though they had just nodded and didn’t speak when Wang Ye came in,

Wang Ye had already figured out, that they were definitely Chinese!

Khodorkovsky was already standing up, putting his arm around Wang Ye’s shoulder, laughing, "Come, let me introduce you to our new shareholders."

The task of introducing new shareholders was undertaken solely by Khodorkovsky, Wang Ye had nothing to do with it.

So it was only today that he found out who the new shareholders were.
