   Chapter 753 Quietly

   Katya led the acquisition team busy, and Wang Ye was not idle either.

   On April 3rd, Gazprom held a board of directors, and after voting by all shareholders’ representatives, the share reform plan was formally determined.

The original largest shareholder of the    Group, that is, state-owned assets, sold 30% of its shares to an investment company in Russia, an investment company from the United States, and an oil company from an Asian country.

  The value of the company is estimated at $40 billion.

   Just the 30% of the shares transferred out allowed the state-owned assets to recover US$12 billion in cash!

  After the share reorganization, the new shareholders of Gazprom Group are as follows:

   State-owned assets account for 40% of the shares, and it is still the largest shareholder, but it is no longer absolutely controlling.

   In the future, the new chairman of the group company will also be voted by all the representatives of the board of directors, and will not be appointed by the government.

  This greatly weakens the “state-owned enterprise” color of Gazprom.

  The three new shareholders who entered the market each hold 10% of the shares.

With the remaining 30%, the composition of shareholders is more complicated. There are several domestic financial institutions, energy companies, and some individuals holding shares in Russia.

   However, these shareholders do not hold many shares. Compared with the top four shareholders, they have much less say in the board of directors.

   In the new board of directors, Wang Ye did not show up, and few people even knew that he also invested in Gazprom this time.

  Constantine also did not show up, but only appointed a professional manager to join the new board of directors of Gazprom Group as a director, also a shareholder representative.

  The investment company established by him and Wang Ye was registered in Russia, but the investor behind it was rather mysterious, and they invested in it through an offshore company outside the country.

   Nobody pays attention to this anyway.

   You should know, you already know who is the boss behind this investment company.

  Shouldn’t know, firstly they don’t care about it, secondly, even if they want to know the background of this investment company, they don’t have the ability to find out the ins and outs.

The news of    Gazprom’s shareholding restructuring was not widely publicized.

   Even on the TV news, it was just a short text message that jumped over, and people who didn’t pay special attention would not notice it.

   As for the newspapers and magazines, it is even more inconspicuous.

   Even if there are newspapers and magazines that report, they basically publish a short news like a tofu block in the supplement.

   Anyway, this news was ignored intentionally or unintentionally.

  …

   “Cheers! Congratulations on our successful investment in Gazprom. According to the company’s current operating conditions, our investment will be fully recovered in eight to ten years at most. It pays a lot of dividends every year, haha.”

  Constantine raised his red wine glass and said to Wang Ye with a smile on his face.

   Although he did not appear on the board of directors of Gazprom, he has been commanding behind the scenes.

   Now that the dust has finally settled, you’re done, and of course I’m very happy.

   It can be said that the two investments made by the Constantine family recently made him very satisfied.

   Taking a stake in Gazprom Group is considered one, and the other is naturally a stake in Wangye’s Kitty Eagle Group.

   Especially, these two companies are the kind of companies with very abundant cash flow and high dividends, and the return on investment is ridiculously high!

   “The price of natural gas will continue to rise. Believe me, in less than ten years, it is estimated that our investment will be recovered in about five years.” Wang Ye said with a smile.

   Of course he also has confidence in Gazprom.

   Natural gas is “just needed”!

   After the global economy picks up, the industrial demand will also surge, and the price of natural gas will be much higher than it is now.

  The price is high, and the cost of mining and transportation has not increased, or the increase has been minimal, doesn’t it mean that the profit has risen sharply!

   Therefore, Gazprom Group in a few years will be more profitable than it is now.

   Constantine would naturally not doubt Wang Ye’s judgment.

The smile on   ’s face grew brighter.

   “Oh, yes, I heard that Abramovich recently acquired a Premier League club in the British peninsula. Is he planning to settle in London?” Constantine asked casually.

   He and Abu also know each other, but the relationship is not very close. After all, the industries they operate are completely different.

   “Yes, in fact, not only did he buy a Premier League club, but I also bought one. After a while, there should be news.” Wang Ye laughed.

   These words not only made Constantine stunned, but Rosiana, who was sitting next to Wang Ye, was also taken aback.

   Because neither of them had heard of it.

  Wangye’s acquisition of Arsenal has always been done in secret.

  In the beginning, Abu helped to build the line and lead the bridge. After the situation became clear, it was handed over to Katja leading a professional team to take over.

  Rosiana didn’t even know about it.

   “Ah? You bought a Premier League club! When did it happen?” Rosiana exclaimed.

   “Why did you suddenly buy a football club? Could it be that the industry will usher in an outbreak period? But I think investing in the football industry is purely a loss of money, and it is impossible to make a profit.” Constantine asked suspiciously.

   Lao Maozi also has a football club. Although the strength is not very strong, it is not too weak.

  Especially the national team, it is often able to go to the World Cup to mix…

   It’s just that the country’s overall economy has not been good in the past few years, and the club has no investment and cannot attract strong players to join, so professional football has slowly declined.

  All football players with a little strength have also gone abroad to play football.

Wang Ye smiled and explained: “This matter is still in progress, but it is basically determined. I have already sent someone to London to acquire the shares of the club. If there is no accident, in a week or two, it will be Let’s make it public. By the way, Abramovich bought Chelsea Club, and I bought Arsenal Club, have you heard of it?”

Rosiana nodded first, then shook her head, and said, “Of course I’ve heard of Arsenal, but I haven’t heard of Chelsea. Isn’t Uncle Abu quite rich, why did he buy an unknown kid? Club. But Mischaya bought Arsenal so we can go to London to watch football games!”

   It can be heard that Rosiana is also a “pseudo-fan”, and it is estimated that she rarely watches football.

   That’s why I didn’t even know about Chelsea, thinking it was a bad little club.

   In fact, although Chelsea is indeed not as famous as Arsenal and Manchester United, it is still an old Premier League club…
