MTL - Reborn Russia As An Oligarch-Chapter 896 Simply a good person

  Chapter 896 is simply a good person

  As soon as the joint law enforcement operation over there started, Menichenko received the news here.

  He sat there blankly, motionless for a long time.

   There is no need to think too much, he is very clear why such a thing happened.

  This joint law enforcement action is too targeted. According to reports from subordinates, the exchange offices opened by other banks are fine, but several foreign exchange offices of their own banks were seized.

   Obviously that old guy Constantine did it!

   Otherwise, I usually keep a low profile when doing things for others, and I basically haven't offended any big shots.

   It's impossible for someone to go to such lengths to do it for themselves.

  In fact, when he rejected Constantine's offer two days ago, Menichenko was mentally prepared.

  But he never expected that the other party would strike so fast and so ruthlessly!

  Even if everyone knows it well, almost all private banks have money laundering channels to help the rich transfer money abroad and earn a lot of fees from it.

   Even the big oligarchs own their own banks for the purpose of financing and money laundering...

   But this kind of thing can be done but not said, let alone investigated!

   After all, this is also illegal.

  Transferring huge amounts of money overseas through illegal means, if it really goes online, it is a felony!

  It seems that Constantine is stronger than he imagined...

  ...

  Menichenko is not ignorant of Konstantin's relationship with the Kremlin and Deputy Speaker Mikhail.

   But he didn't believe that the Kremlin and the Duma would come forward for Constantine. After all, such a top-level official organization still needs to show face, and the appearance should not be too ugly.

   Besides, I have never interfered in politics, and have done my own business honestly. It is said that the Kremlin has a good opinion of me.

  The acquisition this time, maybe it was just that old guy Constantine saw an opportunity and came to take advantage of it!

  But what happened today made him wake up.

  What is "joint action between the Duma and the Ministry of Internal Affairs"!

   This is obviously a certain important person in the Duma... In fact, you can call them by name directly, it is Mikhail's work!

Because if the Kremlin is doing things, it is the Ministry of Internal Affairs acting alone, or the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other powerful departments, but it is impossible to involve the Duma, because according to the rules, the Kremlin and the Duma are in parallel. Who can control who exists.

   Now this action is obviously led by the Duma with the cooperation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

   Those who have the ability, willingness, and such high efficiency to promote this joint action, except for the "grandson-in-law" of the old guy Constantine, Mikhail, the first deputy speaker of the Duma, there should be no one else...

   In other words, this acquisition may not be Constantine’s idea, but Mikhail’s!

  Thinking of this, Menichenko couldn't sit still.

  He is not stupid. Although he has no political ambitions and has never been involved in politics, how can he not understand politics when he has a business of his size.

   Mikhail, a political rookie who has only emerged in the past two years, he also knows about it.

   And he also knows that because of this year's change of office, Mikhail's real power has surpassed the Duma Speaker Gryzlov, and he is undoubtedly the first person in the Duma!

   If you are targeted by such a big shot, no one will be able to save you!

  Don’t say that I haven’t hugged Kegong’s thigh, even if I do, if there is a conflict between myself and Mikhail, it’s clear at a glance which side Kgong will choose to stand on...

   Now no one can save himself, the only thing he can do is save himself!

   Also has to be fast!

  Because of today's joint law enforcement action, so many witnesses were directly seized on the spot. Once the process officially starts, there will not be much room for action.

   To untie the bell, the person who tied it must be needed. Fortunately, Menichenko still kept Konstantin's mobile phone number and did not delete it.

  After the call was connected, Menichenko's tone was much better than last time.

   "Mr. Constantine, regarding the acquisition of the Siberia Coal Group, I think we can meet again and talk about it..."

   On the other side, Constantine was a little impolite, "Hehe, it's okay to talk again, but well... the purchase price is not the same as last time."

  Menichenko really wanted to throw his phone out, and bought Siberian coal for 3 billion US dollars, which was already a very low price.

  What, the price is going to be lowered now?

   But the man had to bow his head under the eaves, he could only suppress his anger, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, let's see where I'm going to visit you, the time is arranged for today?"

  Being bought at a low price and having to "deliver" it to the door by himself made Menichenko feel very humiliated.

   But there is no way, if you don’t want to endure this humiliation, not only will you usher in even greater humiliation, you will even have great trouble!

  Konstantin didn't make it too difficult for him, he pondered for a moment, and said straightforwardly: "Well, at three o'clock in the afternoon, you come to the MTC Group headquarters to find me."

  MTC Group is the largest mobile communication network operator in Russia, and the major shareholder behind it is naturally the Konstantin family.

  After making an appointment, Constantine called Wang Ye.

   After talking about the matter that Menichenko wanted to talk to him about the acquisition, he smiled and said to Wang Ye:

   "You are too ruthless, and the effect is really good.

  I didn't expect you to start from this aspect.

   This is to kill Menichenko!

  If he relented and agreed to sell the Siberian Coal Group, would you let him go? "

  Wang Ye smiled faintly, "This joint operation is not right about the matter, but I didn't think about doing anything to Menichenko. I just took the opportunity to rectify the financial industry."

   That's what he said, but if it was true that Menichenko didn't know what to do and still stiffened his neck and refused to admit defeat.

  Maybe Wang Ye won't do anything to him, but the people in the joint action team and the judges probably won't let Menichenko go...

   Of course, if Menichenko and Constantine talk smoothly and reach an acquisition agreement as soon as possible.

  That matter is just as Wang Ye said, just to rectify the chaos in the financial industry, and will not target Menikoff.

   At that time, Menikoff will launch a "scapegoat" to cover the crime, and MDM Bank will send some blood and cut some flesh, and the matter will pass...

  The joint action team can be considered to have achieved the goal of killing chickens for monkeys to see. When those private banks do similar activities in the future, they will restrain themselves a lot!

  ...

   Just as Menichenko seized the time to work hard, Ruan Dayong and his fellow international students had already been locked in an iron cage at a nearby police station.

  These foreign students were locked together alone, and the bank staff involved in the incident were locked in another iron cage.

   But the strange thing is that the people in the action team just asked them to hand in their passports and mobile phones, but did not interrogate them, maybe it is not yet time...

  A dozen or so people were locked in a small, dark iron cage. Everyone was downcast, and two timid girls were already sobbing.

"Senior, why were we arrested? Just now... it must not have done something illegal! You promised us that this is not illegal." Ruan Dayong finally summoned up his courage and asked Get up senior.

  Because they were escorted by special police along the way, they didn't dare to say a word.

   Now that he is in the iron cage, and no one is watching outside, he finally found a chance to figure things out.

  The senior is also pale, still in shock.

Hearing Ruan Dayong's questioning, he was not in the mood to teach others a lesson. He sighed and said with a wry smile: "This kind of thing is actually very common. I have done it with others a few times before, and it has always been safe. I can only say... , We are unlucky!"

  Ruan Dayong continued to ask: "Then will something happen to us?"

  This question is what they are most concerned about, and everyone's eyes are fixed on the senior's face.

  The senior's face turns pale for a while, and turns green for a while. He speaks Russian very well. This meeting basically figured out what happened, and naturally understood the seriousness of the problem.

  He really wanted to comfort everyone, but he thought that he was just like everyone else and couldn't get away from it.

   Even because of his own organizer, it is very likely that the crime will be aggravated, and the consequences will be even worse than the juniors!

  If the worst happens, it basically means that everyone will be sent back to their country.

  The younger students have just come to study for half a year, even if they are deported, the loss is actually not that big.

   But myself, I will graduate next year, and I have been here for almost five years!

  I spent a lot of money and suffered a lot, but I didn’t even get a diploma...

  Thinking of this, he was completely out of mood to go around in circles with everyone.

   Laughed miserably, and said with red eyes: "Everyone, be mentally prepared, things...may be more serious, and the worst result is... you will be sent back to your country!"

   Hearing what he said, Ruan Dayong and the others were all stupid on the spot.

  No one thought that just to earn the extra money of fifty dollars, they would now face the end of being deported...

  ………

  Menichen Kobe arrived at the headquarters of the MTC Group twenty minutes earlier than the agreed time.

  Led by a staff member, they came to Constantine's temporary office.

  Konstantin usually does not come to the MTC headquarters to work, but only occasionally when the board of directors or shareholder meetings are held.

  This time I came here because I had some things to deal with, so I temporarily "requisitioned" a large office at the headquarters of the MTC Group.

  Seeing Menichenko, Konstantin asked him to sit down with a smile on his face, and asked his assistant to bring two cups of steaming hot coffee with a strong aroma.

  But Menichenko is not in the mood to drink coffee now.

  As soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to say:

   "I have thought about it for the past two days, and I feel that the Siberian Coal Group is not impossible to sell.

  After all, I still operate fertilizer, steel, and banking businesses, and the stalls are too big and too complicated, which is prone to problems.

   Since you are interested in Siberian Coal Group, Mr. Konstantin, that's great.

  I am also very relieved to entrust the company to you.

   This is the purchase price, you see..."

  Now he speaks in a completely different tone from the last time we met.

  As for why, both of them knew it well, so there was no need to say it.

  Konstantin smiled slightly, took a sip from the coffee cup calmly, tasted it slowly, and then said slowly:

   "Siberian Coal Group is a good company, otherwise I wouldn't be interested.

  However, you may not know that the coal industry will be brought under national supervision in the future.

   Even sell part of the shares to state-owned assets!

  Hey, it’s difficult..."

  Menichenko is a little anxious. If Konstantin is suddenly unwilling to acquire the Siberia Coal Group, it means that things will be a big deal!

   Could it be that this old guy just wanted to see himself in bad luck, and even waited until his company was seized by the state before he made a move and won it at an extremely low price?

  It's not impossible...

  Because of similar situations, it has happened frequently in the past ten years!

   Almost every large oligarch has used similar methods in the process of making a fortune.

  He leaned forward and said urgently:

   "Mr. Constantine, the shares of Siberia Coal Group are still in my hands. If it is acquired at this time, the cost will not be high, and there will be no competitors.

  If it is true...

   At that time, you may have to face many competitors. Moreover, you are the contemporary patriarch of the Romanov family, the only surviving nobleman in our country!

   If you do things decently, it will be good for your family's reputation. "

  From these words, it can be heard that Menichenko is really anxious.

   I feel a little anxious to speak.

  However, it is also understandable that if the Siberia Coal Group can be successfully sold to Constantine, it means that there is still room for maneuver in the matter, and he will not be forced to a dead end.

   And it has to be ASAP!

   Otherwise, it will be difficult to end after the so-called joint law enforcement team officially files the case or makes it public...

  Konstantin looked a bit embarrassed. He pondered for a moment, then raised his head and sighed: "Hey, since you are so eager to sell, I am soft-hearted. Then... buy it with reluctance! But at this price..."

  Menichenko was overjoyed, now he can't care about anything else.

  As long as the trouble can be resolved smoothly, even if the Siberia Coal Group is "given away" for nothing, he will grit his teeth and agree!

   "Tell me, the price is negotiable!" He said hastily.

  Konstantin thought for a while, and stretched out two fingers.

   "Two hundred million U.S. dollars?" Menichenko asked tentatively, feeling a pain in his heart!

  He wished he could slap himself a few times!

   Now Constantine only pays 200 million US dollars, which is nothing short of robbery!

  The last time he offered $3 billion, why didn’t he agree to it?

  But there is no way, let alone 200 million dollars now, even 20 million, 2 million, or even 2 rubles!

  I have to promise myself...

  Konstantin shook his head with a smile, "No, no, it's two billion dollars! Are you satisfied with this price?"

  Menichenko stood there, speechless for a long time.

  Two billion dollars...

   This is much higher than I expected!

  Although compared with the funds and energy I have invested in for so many years, I still lost a lot of $2 billion.

   But that was before today!

  After what happened in the morning, the Siberia Coal Group can still be sold for two billion dollars, it is like picking up this huge sum of money for nothing!

  How could this Constantine be so "generous"? He could have snatched it for nothing, but in the end he gave himself two billion dollars?

   Simply…

   He is simply a kind person!
