Chapter 705: Chapter 705 - No, It Requires More Money_1

The next morning when Wang Ye woke up, Rossiyana was no longer by his side.

He washed and dressed, then went downstairs to the living room, where he saw Rossiyana, sitting at the breakfast table, debating something with Constantin.

There weren’t many people at the table, only Constantin, Rossiyana, her parents, and two women whose names Wang Ye didn’t remember - they seemed to be Rossiyana’s aunts or something.

As Wang Ye descended, everyone at the table turned to look at him.

With a smile, Constantin waved Wang Ye over to join them for breakfast.

As soon as Wang Ye sat down, Constantin, with a stern face, joked, "What enchantment did you cast over my granddaughter? She’s been arguing with me for half the day over your business. She used to not be like this."

Wang Ye laughed and asked casually, "What’s the debate about?"

"It’s about investing in the Xiao Ying Group. I already told Grandfather about the Group’s revenue data for the past two years and informed him of the estimated value of the US $30 billion. That’s too low. If they truly want a stake in Xiao Ying Group, it’s negotiable. But this evaluation absolutely won’t do, add more money!" retorted Rossiyana.

On this matter, Wang Ye really didn’t know what to say.

Yesterday afternoon, he had verbally agreed to Constantin about joining the Xiao Ying Group at an estimated value of US $30 billion.

Now, Rossiyana was disputing with her grandfather for his benefit and making it difficult for Wang Ye to intervene.

He couldn’t defend Rossiyana, nor could he discourage her enthusiasm.

Luckily, Constantin was a magnanimous person, he apparently understood Wang Ye’s predicament and with a wave of his hand, he jovially declared:

"Since Rossiyana has spoken, if I insist on the estimation of US $30 billion, it would seem too stingy.

Let’s go for US $40 billion. Our family will invest with our cruise ship and assist with the corresponding deals, like hiring onboard personnel, etc.

In exchange for 20% of Xiao Ying Group’s shares, this can be done right?"

If the Xiao Ying Group was valued at US $40 billion, and the gigantic cruise ship was valued at $10 billion - it adds up to US $50 billion.

Then, the Constantin family would hold exactly 20% of the shares.

Since Constantin had spoken, there was nothing else for Wang Ye to say, he accepted the offer with a smile.

He nodded, "That works, let’s proceed as you suggested, these are just minor issues."

In Wang Ye’s eyes, these indeed were minor issues.

His commercial focus had long since shifted to the Yukos Group and the Polar Bear Investment Company - even the Crimean Investment Company was sure to be more profitable than the Xiao Ying Group in the future!

Thus, how much stake he had in the Xiao Ying Group didn’t matter to him at all.

However, when Constantin heard this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit melancholic.

As for Wang Ye, there were aspects Constantin knew well, and some he didn’t.

For instance, he knew about Wang Ye’s commercial layout, rising trajectory - but he wasn’t quite sure about Wang Ye’s real identity, Wagner’s development, Crimean layout, or Polar Bear’s investments.

But what he did know was already impressive enough for Constantin.

You should know, this young man is about the same age as his granddaughter...-

No, he is even younger than his granddaughter!-

Yet, his accomplishments in business had even surpassed the wealth accumulated over the years by the entire Constantin family!

Consider how hard his family worked for generations to achieve what they have-

Then look at him, he managed to surpass them in just two years!

While this young man had great platforms and opportunities and had the backing of the business tycoon Khodorkovsky, no one could deny he was a once-in-a-century business prodigy!

Not to mention, he had achieved even greater successes in the political arena...

It’s true what they say, comparison is the thief of joy.

Now, Wang Ye was indeed worthy enough to overlook a "small business" like the Xiao Ying Group.

......

After breakfast and chitchat, Wang Ye planned to return to Moscow without much of a halt in Petersburg.

Rossiyana stayed behind and Wang Ye entrusted her with the responsibility of handling the Constantin family’s stake in the Xiao Ying Group, as well as both parties’ joint stake in the Russian Gas Industry Group.

She had to consult her family about some details.

Upon returning to Moscow, Wang Ye needed to carry out some preliminary work for the stake in the Russian Gas Industry Group and probe around for information.

Although Constantin was confident, it was not a guaranteed thing.

Many people would surely want a piece of such a huge cake, which meant there were many potential competitors.

No room for complacency.

......

At the airport, watching Wang Ye’s plane soar into the sky, Rossiyana’s family returned to their car ready to head back.

Constantin invited Rossiyana to sit in his car as he had some matters to discuss with her.

He personally came to see them off.

Once she got into Constantin’s long Rolls Royce, before Rossiyana could speak, he sighed and added: "Young people are to be feared, this Mikhail, has boundless prospects."

Rossiyana smiled, "What’s the matter, Grandfather? After just one day of interaction, you already see his unlimited potential? But your statement is wrong. There’s no need to look to the future, he’s limitless now."

Constantin also laughed, yes, there was indeed something wrong with his statement.

After all, Mikhail is already in high office, the Deputy Speaker of Duma, and the Chairman of the Economic Committee and has great power!

There’s no need to look to the future...

He shook his head and said, "If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to believe that a young man barely over 20 could hold such a high position as Deputy Speaker of Duma. Honestly, when I first heard about it, I thought it was a farce. But it’s not odd for Duma to perform farces. However, now that I’ve met him personally, I believe that Mikhail is perfectly capable of holding the position of Deputy Speaker of Duma. It’s no wonder that Mr. Puding speaks so highly of him..."

Rossiyana smoothly interjected, "Well, why do you think I was willing to be his assistant? I wasn’t even interested when my father-in-law wanted me to work for the government.

It’s because Misha is so excellent and outstanding that I’m willing to interact with him."

Constantin subtly asked, "You two have a stable relationship now, right? Despite your young ages, you can’t drag on some things too long. If he’s willing to marry you this year, consider that cruise ship as your dowry!"
