Jonas, this is Mr. Gnardidimchenko from Finland. ”

"Hello, Mr. Timchenko, it's an honor to meet you. ”

"Jonas, you can call me Uncle Gnardi, your father, Yannick, my brother whom I respect very much. ”

Jonas was kind and said, "Hello, Uncle Gnardy. ”

To Jonas, this Gnardy is a stranger, but to Jonas in his previous life, this Gnardy's name is like thunder.

In the 21st century, he is the most famous voice of Russian origin in the world's energy industry.

Mr. Timchenko's Volga Resources Company has acquired a 30 percent stake in Russia's marine group, which owns 27.5 percent of petrochemical producer Sibur.

At the end of the 80s, Timchenko was in charge of the state-owned oil export company Kinex, after which he became a major shareholder in the process of privatization.

Timchenko has a large share of the Russian oil industry and is one of the shareholders of the Gonvol Group, the largest international energy distributor (with revenues of $80 billion in 2011).

Russia's state-owned Rosneft and Gazprom both export their products through the Gonvol Group.

In addition to this, Timchenko controls the engineering and construction company Stroytransgaz, which is a contractor of Gazprom, and he also owns a stake in Transoil, a railway operating company that transports petroleum products.

And his commercial success was closely related to Yeltsin, and later to the Great.

Within the industry, he has always been considered the face of the Great.

But now, he is still an ordinary representative of state-owned enterprises, responsible for the sale of Soviet products and the introduction of technology.

Yannick had 11 investments in the Soviet Union, including technical services, transportation, and sales rights in the oil industry.

Although Yannick does not have much interest in each investment, the highest is only 5 percent, and the lowest is less than 1 percent, but these investments add up to a minimum value of more than 10 million US dollars.

Although he knew that these assets were high-quality assets, Jonas was not in a position to protect them at this time. In Hannah's negotiations with Jonas, these assets invested in the former Soviet Union were the first to be sold.

And these assets, naturally, are also the most attractive to the Soviets, because for outsiders, these investments are risky.

But for the Soviet Union itself, they can use these assets worth tens of millions to make tens of millions of accounts or assets.

Timchenko is not yet 40 years old this year, and in the Soviet Union, he belongs to the Young Zhuang faction.

"Jonas, I didn't have time to go into detail last night, today I want to hear your thoughts on your father's rights and interests in investing in the Soviet Union, and we will try to meet your conditions and achieve a win-win situation. ”

Jonas nodded and said, "Uncle Gnardy, I also reached a consensus with my grandmother about my father's investment in the Soviet Union. In addition to 0.78 percent of the shares of the natural gas sales company, we can make other investments. ”

Before the nineties, all energy companies in Russia were state-owned, and the country's large and small oil and gas companies belonged to the state and local respectively, and their management was very chaotic.

Europe has always been the largest customer of Russian gas, and the sale of their products to Europe requires a unified coordination of a sales company.

In 1968, the first gas pipeline was built through Ukraine to Austria, and since then, 90 percent of the Soviet Union's natural gas exports have been transported through this pipeline.

In the seventies, in order to open the market for Soviet gas in Western Europe, an international sales company was created in the USSR, which was responsible for the operation of gas and oil sales.

The sales company also gave 49 percent of the shares to Western European countries, and Yannick spent 1.8 million Swiss francs to buy 0.78 percent of the shares.

Hearing Jonas say this, Timchenko laughed and said: "Fifty-one percent of the shares of the Soviet Union in the shares of the sales company of Konzeen were negotiated with the countries of Western Europe, and even if you sell them, we cannot buy them back." I believe that this stake will continue to grow in the future.

We are very interested in the interests of other investment projects, and we hope that you will give us priority when considering selling. ”

Jonas asked, "So, what do I get?"

"Enough cash to represent its value, and our friendship. ”

Jonas was certainly inclined to sell to them, for he knew that in seven years there would be a feast of riches. Gaining the friendship of the other party, his future benefits will be even more amazing.

However, he can't directly agree to the other party, because it doesn't fit the current environment.

It is impossible to decide to sell such a large project without talking about anything.

He pretended to think about it for a moment before he said, "Uncle Gnardy, I personally prefer to sell it directly to you, but you should also know that you have to get other intending buyers first. ”

"We can give a corresponding premium, and the proportion is good," Timchenko said. I came to talk to you today because I don't want to make the value of these rights too inflated because of speculation. ”

"But it's my wealth that is lost. ”

Timchenko groaned for a moment and said: "No, you will not have anything to lose, on the contrary, you will get a return that far exceeds the cost of the input. ”

Jonas thought for a moment and said, "The specific signature needs to be signed by my grandmother, which means that I can only reply intentionally at best." I can only assure you that under equal conditions, I will give priority to you. ”

"What is the range of these equal conditions? If the other party has a dollar more than us......

Jonas smiled: "Of course there will be no such decision, so in order to show my sincerity, I am willing to package ten investments in the Soviet Union into one project, so as to help you eliminate a lot of competitors."

Secondly, I can promise that you can exercise your right of priority to the extent that the other party's conditions do not exceed 5 percent. ”

Jonas made two concessions and looked like he had suffered a lot. Because if these investment projects are split and processed, there will be more competitors.

However, no matter how ugly the appearance is, the difference between the upper and lower earnings will not be checked by more than five million dollars.

For the sake of a few million dollars, offending a big force on one side is more than worth the loss.

It's just a word of friendship, and in a few years, Jonas will be able to gain much more than he does now, and he will still be able to maintain a friendly relationship with them.

Timchenko was very satisfied with Jonas's attitude, and took the initiative to reach out and said: "Then can we sign a letter of intent?"

"Of course. "Since you want to earn favors, of course Jonas will not hesitate at this time.

There was a typewriter in the company, and in less than half an hour, a letter of intent in English, German, and Russian was officially signed.

Each party held a letter of intent and agreed that in a week's time, formal negotiations would take place in Zurich.

Seeing off Timchenko, there was no need to see anyone else this morning, Jonas sat in the office that belonged to Yannick, still a little excited.

In his previous life, after he established his own company, he mainly dealt with the contradictions and disputes between the head office and other companies.

In the eyes of those higher-ups, he was a knife, a thug who dealt with trouble.

But now, the business he talks about is casually at the level of tens of millions of dollars, and the contacts are all high-level people.

It is foreseeable that as long as this steady development continues, he will be able to get in touch with industry elites around the world in the future.

At that time, he didn't need to hug his thighs anymore, he himself was his thighs.

Rich, who was far away in Lucerne, soon learned what Jonas had done, and when he heard the report from his subordinates, he nodded and said, "Jonas can control his greed, knows how to make trade-offs, and still has a lot of potential to cultivate." ”

Jonas didn't know what Richie was saying, and he had been watching the investment bank's team in London, and his heart was full of reluctance.

There are nearly 40 traders or traders in the three teams here, and nearly 100 people in all of them, each of whom is experienced.

This kind of talent accumulation is very tempting.

But he also knew very well that he did not have the ability to control these people, or that the partners could not believe that he had such ability. So this company is destined not to belong to itself.

In the afternoon, Fayward brought a few more black men to his office.

Although the other party is also wearing a suit, none of them have the temperament of a businessman.

"Jonas, these are guests from Ethiopia, and this Lieutenant Colonel Abihail Mariam is the plenipotentiary for this negotiation. ”

Jonas understood that the other party was the son of the current Ethiopian general Mengistu. Mengestu started out in a coup d'état, and from 77 he became Chairman of the Provisional Military Administration, Chairman of the Council of Ministers and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

Today's Ethiopia is still a military regime, and this Abi-forced Jonas is a few years older and full of military toughness.

He was obviously a little unimpressed by Fever's introduction, and looking at Jonas's handsome face, he said with some disdain in English: "You are a very lucky young man, I hope you will cherish your luck." ”

Jonas frowned, still holding out his hand as etiquette went. "Hello, Mr. Mariam, your father is a hero. ”

The other party sat down directly on the chair in front of the desk and said lazily: "Let's get down to business, Mr. Hoffman's death has deprived us of a reliable friend, which has also made our investment in Ethiopia encounter some difficulties." In order to solve these difficulties, we have had to invest a lot more.

Today, the construction of a railway to the south of our country has almost come to a standstill. Mr. Hoffman Jr., as one of the major shareholders, you are primarily responsible for this accident. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, this is not the original script!
