Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Wang Ye feels the same way. Although his Crimea Investment Company invested a lot of money, Yalta and Simferopol have also changed a lot.

But after all, we are not a professional real estate company, and there are too many things that need to be taken into account when investing, including infrastructure construction, water grids, roads and pipelines, and even the improvement of culture, education and health, so the real estate aspect is indeed not refined enough.

 At least it is definitely not as good as a professional real estate company.

Wang Ye and Ajielina know this very well.

Therefore, in Yalta and Simferopol, Crimea Investment Company still holds large tracts of land to be developed. The idea is to wait until real estate prices rise in the future and there is market demand, and then slowly develop it. .

Li Chaoren should have discovered this through on-the-spot investigation, and decisively took advantage of Wang Ye's visit to Xiangjiang to meet with him to discuss cooperation.

Wang Ye is not opposed to such cooperation. Although Li Chaoren's reputation is not very good, he "invented" the so-called pool area and is also one of the driving forces behind the high housing prices in Xiangjiang.

 But when it comes to building a house and managing real estate, he is still a real master!

And Wang Ye is on the Crimea side, and he is really not afraid of housing prices being pushed up, as long as he can get the bulk of the profits...

 Since the local population of Crimea is sparse, and after demolition and compensation, the local people have no shortage of houses.

 The people who immigrated later are basically the rich from Eastern Europe. It is not a bad thing to push up the housing prices.

Perhaps the higher the housing prices in Crimea, the more local economic development will be promoted, because the rich also like to hang out in groups.

Your housing prices are too low, and the barriers to entry are low. There are more ordinary people settling there, and the rich are not willing to come...

 …

 After thinking for a moment, Wang Ye nodded with a smile: "I personally think Mr. Li's proposal is feasible. You can discuss the specific plan directly with Crimemi Investment Company."

 The president of Crimea Investment Company is Agelina, but she is also the Speaker of the Parliament of Crimea now, so she probably doesn’t have much time and energy to take care of these things.

So if the Yangtze River Group wants to talk, it should talk to the professional managers under Ajielina who are responsible for the real estate business.

As for Wang Ye, he would not care about these things. When Li Chaoren mentioned this matter in front of him today, he did not mean to discuss it with Wang Ye, but just wanted his consent.

After all, as long as Wang Ye nods, then there will definitely be no problem with this cooperation. It is nothing more than bargaining on the details of the cooperation between the two parties.

But as long as Wang Ye doesn’t nod, no matter how good the cooperation conditions offered by Yangtze River Group are, there is a high chance that Crimea Investment Company will not even take a look...

 …

Seeing Wang Ye nod in agreement, Li Chaoren was overjoyed, but he didn't show it. He still had this bit of determination.

He just said happily: "That's great. Our Yangtze River Group is also very sincere in this cooperation. We plan to invest a total of up to 200 billion Hong Kong dollars in an effort to build Crimea into a European paradise city!"

Two hundred billion Hong Kong dollars, this is not a small number. Even if converted into U.S. dollars, it is about 25 billion.

 Wang Ye’s Crime Investment Company has invested almost this much in the past few years, and the money has been used in many ways.

Li Chaoren is now willing to spend such a huge amount of money just in the real estate market in Crimea. It is obvious that his plans are very big...

But it doesn’t matter, everyone will be partners from now on. The greater his ambition and the more funds he invests, the greater the future returns will be and Wang Ye will be able to make more money.

 After running Crimea for so many years, it’s time to harvest...

After talking about the business, Li Chaoren warmly invited Wang Ye to his home and said with a smile: "Speaker Mikhail, I think your watch is from Patek Philippe. You should prefer this brand, right? Can you please I need to take a look at my collection. I also love the Patek Philippe brand very much, so I have collected many of its watches, including many rare models. Speaking only of Patek Philippe, among the world's watch collectors, maybe I can rank Top two.”

Wang Ye raised his hand and looked at the Patek Philippe on his wrist. He bought it when he went to the United States to buy Apple stock a few years ago. He bought a lot of it at once and gave it to many people as gifts after he came back.

 To be honest, he is not very particular about watches, nor does he like Patek Philippe very much. It is just because in his impression this brand of watches is the best.

However, since Li Chaoren is one of the top two collectors of Patek Philippe in the world, why is he still wearing a Japanese watch worth hundreds of dollars on his wrist...

Perhaps noticing Wang Ye's gaze, Li Chaoren raised his wrist and showed off his worthless old watch. He laughed and said: "Although this watch is not valuable, it was given by my first wife, so it is very commemorative. I I’m used to it, so I keep carrying it, and by doing so, I can gain a good reputation as a hard-working and simple person, haha.”

 He is quite calm...

Wang Ye smiled, expressed his understanding, and readily agreed to Li Chaoren's family dinner invitation.

Seeing that Wang Ye agreed, Li Chaoren's smile became even brighter. He immediately got up and made a phone call to arrange for his family to make preparations in advance.

Even for a super rich man like him, it is not easy to invite a big shot like Wang Ye to his home for a banquet.

　　When the situation is unexpected, there will be a group photo session, and the photo will be hung on the wall of his office!

 …

 When they went to Li's house, Wang Ye and Li Chaoren shared a Rolls-Royce, which was Li Chaoren's car.

As for Wang Ye’s entourage and Li Chaoren’s assistant secretary, they followed behind in other vehicles.

 The group of people took a car to the Li family’s mid-level mansion in Repulse Bay.

Because something happened to his eldest son, Li Chaoren now pays special attention to security issues. There are security personnel patrolling inside and outside the Li family mansion 24 hours a day. Moreover, the wall of his house is three meters high, and there are guards outside the door. It can be said that it is heavily guarded!

Of course, no matter how rich he is, he can only hire people from private security companies to carry out security work. Private individuals cannot legally possess weapons in Xiangjiang, so it is really not safe.

The convoy drove directly into the compound and stopped in a small square in front of a four-story building.

Li's family members, namely his two sons, were already waiting here. When they saw the car stopped, the eldest son and the second son, one on the left and one on the right, helped Li Chaoren and Wang Ye open the door.

After getting off the car, Li Chaoren introduced Wang Ye with a smile:

“Speaker Mikhail, these are two dogs…”

Da Li and Xiao Li also stood in front of Wang Ye politely and bowed to him to say hello.

Although both of them are actually much older than Wang Ye, there is no way. In terms of status, Wang Ye is the same generation as their father, and they can only be juniors...

Wang Ye nodded and said no polite words to them, because there was no need for them at all.

 Besides, their strength has not yet reached the level that Wang Ye needs to make friends with!

Before the dinner started, Li Chaoren happily took Wang Ye to visit his collection, that is, his Patek Philippe watches.

I have to say that he is not boasting. Wang Ye is dazzled by the various styles of Patek Philippe, some of which are indeed beautiful and more in line with Wang Ye's aesthetics.

Especially one of them, according to Li Chaoren, it is "Reference 2499". It is quite a rare model anyway. It is said that the model launched in 1940 was limited to ten per year. It was discontinued after being sold for 35 years, so the world The total is only three hundred and fifty yuan.

Excluding some that were lost, damaged, stolen, etc., it is estimated that there are more than 200 yuan left in existence.

He also emphasized that what Wang Ye was looking at was the rarest platinum model among the more than two hundred pieces of Reference2499, because the Reference2499s on the market are basically gold models.

There are only two platinum models in total, one of which is collected by Patek Philippe itself, and the other one is now in the hands of Wang Ye...

Perhaps seeing that Wang Ye liked this watch, Li Chaoren immediately said with a smile: "When I met Speaker Mikhail for the first time, we all love watches, so we are in the same boat, so I will treat this watch as a small gift. I'll give it to you. A good horse with a good saddle. An outstanding figure like Speaker Mikhail is of course worthy of the best watch. Otherwise, it would be a waste to keep it in my room for collection. .”

 To be honest, if it had been anyone else, maybe Li Chaoren would really be reluctant to give away this watch.

 But it was given to Wang Ye, and he really didn’t feel bad at all!

Just kidding, he also plans to bet heavily on Crimea. Compared to the huge investment of hundreds of billions, a watch is nothing.

 If nothing else, if Wang Ye takes care of him casually, he may not be able to buy many such watches with the money he earns.

Wang Ye was not polite, and nodded and accepted it with a smile. This relatively rare thing may not be too expensive, but it is really hard to find, and it is the kind that even if you have money, you can't buy it.

This watch may be worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, but this little money is nothing in the eyes of people like him and Li Chaoren.

 One gave it away when he wanted to, and the other accepted it when he wanted to, but neither of them took it seriously.

 Seeing Wang Ye accept the watch, Li Chaoren's smile became even brighter...

 …

The Li family's father and son stayed with them, and both the host and the guest were happy. After dinner and chatting for a while over tea, Wang Ye stood up and left.

Li Chaoren took Wang Ye outside the gate with his two sons, waved and watched Wang Ye's vehicle drive away until the tail lights were no longer visible, then turned and returned to the courtyard.

As he walked, he said to his two sons who were following him: "You see, this is a real genius! He sat in that position in his twenties and stomped his feet. The whole of Eastern Europe will be shocked! You guys! The two of them always feel that they are so great, but in front of a real big shot, do you know the difference?"

The eldest son is more mature and prudent. When faced with his father's teachings, of course he nodded in agreement, expressing that he felt ashamed.

The second child is a bit unconvinced. He has been very successful in the Xiangjiang business community in recent years, and he has not relied too much on his family's influence. He has worked **** his own.

He muttered: "He just has a good uncle, and he can't rely entirely on himself."

Li Chaoren stopped as soon as he heard this, turned around and reprimanded with an unhappy face: "Of course his uncle is great, but he is not much better than our Li family. And whether it is in terms of achievements in business or politics, In terms of achievements, Mikhail has already surpassed his uncle! All of this was achieved in just a few years. Is it so difficult to admit that others are better than you? "

The second child was speechless now. To be honest, he didn't know Mikhail very well. That is to say, his father said that such a big shot was coming to the house as a guest, so he made up for it temporarily. I checked the relevant information about Mikhail on the Internet.

Although he was quite amazed after seeing it, he didn't have a clear idea of ​​how powerful Mikhail was.

 In fact, he knew in his heart that he was not as good as Mikhail, but he felt a little unhappy when he heard his father use others to "debase" him.

However, after being scolded mercilessly by his father, he could no longer be tough.

　　Yeah, they say they have a good uncle, but don’t I also have a good father?

To be honest, Mikhail's uncle Hovchenko may not have the financial strength of the Li family, let alone the background.

 But with the same background, even Mikhail’s background is not as good as mine, but in a few years, others can achieve such great achievements.

 Looking at myself again, although I am usually a little complacent and think I have done a good job, but compared with Mikhail, it is really nothing...

 As my father said, is it so difficult to admit that others are better than yourself?

 …

Wang Ye naturally didn’t know about the discussion between the Li family and his son.

Just after returning to the hotel, Zhang Xiaoxi was already waiting in the room.

Of course, Wang Ye arranged for her to come in...

Seeing Wang Ye return, Zhang Xiaoxi, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV boredly, quickly got up and came over to greet him.

He asked with a smile: "Oh, if I had known that you were going to Li Chaoren's house for dinner, I would have gone with you. This is a good opportunity."

Same, maybe for Wang Ye, Li Chaoren is like that.

 But for Zhang Xiaoxi, Li Chaoren is someone she needs to look up to, and Li Chaoren has also invested a lot in the domestic real estate industry. Now Zhang Xiaoxi is also doing real estate, so of course she hopes to make friends with him.

Oh, and Li Chaoren's Yangtze River Group is deeply rooted in the real estate industry in Hong Kong. There are also many properties in Central. Maybe one or two top-level office buildings can be bought from him.

Wang Ye waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's okay. There will be more opportunities to get to know each other in the future. He still wants something from me..."
