Seeing Berezovsky and others constantly calculating what the value of Russia's total industrial assets should be, Fang Chen shook his head indifferently.

In the face of a price difference of hundreds, no, thousands of times, what's the point of comparing every penny?

Well, that’s right, Russia’s current industrial asset pricing is indeed only a few thousandths of its true value.

Just talk about the data and you will know that the market value of each employee in an American company is generally one hundred thousand U.S. dollars, while the market value of each employee in Russia, if calculated based on the price of the warrant, is only a few dozen U.S. dollars, or two

The difference between them is thousands of times.

But as employees of companies from the only two superpowers in the world, can there be such a big gap?

Impossible.

Take the Volga Automobile Factory that everyone is familiar with as an example. Chubais now sets the market value of the Volga Automobile Factory at a mere US$27 million, which is a price lower than picking it up for free.

To put it bluntly, Fang Chen's net profit from the Volga Automobile Factory exceeded 10 to 27 million US dollars.

As a result, the Volga Automobile Factory, which has nearly 100,000 employees and an annual production capacity of 700,000 cars, is only worth 27 million US dollars. Isn't this a joke?

If this were averaged per car, it would be worth less than forty dollars.

Moreover, you must know that the Volga Automobile Factory has not completely stopped working. It will continue to produce cars in the future. If you calculate it this way, the average value of each car will be even lower.

And we also need to know that at this time, General Motors, the largest automobile company in the world, had assets of more than 200 billion U.S. dollars and annual revenue of nearly 160 billion U.S. dollars. In terms of assets, it was more than 8,000 times that of the Volga Automobile Plant.

The number of cars produced by the General Motors Group every year is a little more than 7 million, which is only ten times that of the Volga Automobile Plant.

But even so, the valuation of Volga Automobile Plant is already the highest among Russian automobile factories. The other two famous automobile factories, Ural Machinery Plant and Perm Automobile Plant, also have tens of thousands of employees respectively.

The market values ​​set were only US$4 million and US$6 million.

However, the most undervalued company is Russia's largest enterprise, Gazprom, which was transformed from the Soviet Gas Ministry into an enterprise.

This is the company in which Fang Chen now holds 10% of the shares, and the company that Chernomyrdin, the current First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, was previously in charge of.

As Gazprom, which controls all the natural gas in Russia, that is, 20% of the world's natural gas and a large number of oil fields, its current value is only US$210 million, which is 15% lower than the number in Fang Chen's memory in his previous life.

.

Fang Chen guessed that the reason was that he had already obtained 10% of Gazprom's shares. Chubais naturally wanted to lower Gazprom's valuation.

Thinking of this, Fang Chen couldn't help but sigh. If he wasn't afraid of too much impact, he would really want to eat Gazprom.

Gazprom has always been a frequent visitor to the Fortune Global 500, and has been in the top 50 in the world all year round, almost never falling out.

In 2013, when natural gas prices were at their highest, Gazprom's revenue reached US$153.53 billion, ranking 21st in the world, and its total profit reached a terrifying figure of US$38.08 billion, ranking third in the world.

Moreover, Gazprom has a prominent position in the Russian economy. The Russian mass news media calls it the vanguard of the Russian economy. It produces 8% of Russia's industrial output, guarantees 25% of the national budget, and controls proven natural gas reserves.

It has 26 trillion cubic meters of natural gas and holds 29.9 trillion cubic meters of natural gas exploration licenses.

Such a super enterprise with millions of employees is now only sold for US$210 million. Compared with the net profit of US$38 billion in 2013, it is really ridiculous, deplorable, pitiful, and even hateful.

But Fang Chen knew more clearly that the possibility of him wanting to swallow up all Gazprom was almost zero. Not to mention the already hostile Rutskoi and others, even Yeltsin and others would not agree.

It can even be said that no Russian would agree to the sale of Gazprom to a foreigner.

Moreover, even though Gazprom later changed to a joint-stock system with 500,000 shareholders, the majority shareholder controlling nearly 40% has always been the Russian Federal Asset Management Administration, an existence similar to the domestic State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

Thinking of this, Fang Chen's expression suddenly became a little strange. Russia's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission was established under his proposal, and when he went to inspect the Russian State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, he was given a thumbs up by Chubais. Not only

He solved the heating problem of the Russian State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, spending hundreds of thousands to lay heating pipes for it, and regularly asked Berezovsky to send some food and drinks in.

However, it is unlikely that we will take full control. Even if we find a way to take full control now, when Comrade Vladimir comes to power, he will spit it all out. But we can still find a way to increase the shares by 5% or 10%.

possible.

Based on Gazprom's earning power, this 10% increase means tens of billions of dollars will fall into his pocket in the future.

Thinking of this, Fang Chen suddenly said to Berezovsky: "How much money did Gazprom make this year, and how much dividends did it give me?"

Berezovsky was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became speechless, and even couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Dear boss, I will send you a report on Gazprom's income every month. Have you never read it?" Berezovsky said helplessly.

Fang Chen laughed dryly, "Look, look, look, it's just that I was too busy during this period and didn't look too carefully. What's all the fuss about."

At the end of the sentence, Fang Chen suddenly became confident and eloquent.

He only has five companies under his name. If you add in Foxconn, Midea, Vantone, Gazprom and other stock-holding companies, as well as side businesses like Mou Qizhong reselling aircraft, by the way, this is the one under his butt.

The Grand Moscow Hotel is also his property.

With so many properties, if he could read the statements in detail every month, it would be exhausting for him. He wouldn't have to do anything else for half a month.

Therefore, the finance department of the head office usually summarizes and organizes these reports, and then gives him a summary table, which states the revenue of each branch, shareholder company, etc., profit margin, growth or decline, etc.

It's just relatively simple data.

Among them, Gazprom is not listed separately.

Berezovsky shrugged and did not call his secretary or the finance department. He opened his mouth and said directly: "Since you became a shareholder of Gazprom, Gazprom has produced 133 billion cubic meters of gas and 6 million barrels of oil.

, with a turnover of US$25.6 billion, including a profit of US$3.1 billion,

You deserve a dividend of US$310 million, but Chernomyrdin only paid 30% of the dividend on the grounds that Gazprom needed to vigorously develop, and the remaining 70% was invested in Gazprom's production.

The business has gone up, which means that the dividend you received is US$9,300..."

Berezovsky fully regarded himself as a mathematician and gave full play to his sensitivity to mathematics.

Only $93 million...

Fang Chen couldn't help but curled his lips. Now he knew why he didn't know Gazprom's revenue and profits. It was just a small amount of dividends, and it averaged out to more than ten months. If he had noticed from the report,

That's called seeing a ghost.

Seeing Fang Chen's greedy and insatiable appearance, Berezovsky and others couldn't help but look at each other with helpless expressions. The appetite of his big boss was getting bigger and bigger. Nine thousand

Three million U.S. dollars and nearly five hundred million Huaxia coins are not enough.

Furthermore, the actual dividend was actually as high as 310 million U.S. dollars, but Chernomyrdin just made excuses not to pay it, but this money gave Chernomyrdin a hundred courage, Chernomyrdin

Don't dare to waste gold.

And only if Gazprom expands its production scale can it earn more money in the future.

"No matter how small a fly is, it's still meat. Ninety-three million flies are enough."

When he thought that this 10% stake in Gazprom was almost a free hand and he just signed it, Fang Chen felt a lot better.

Berezovsky twitched the corner of his mouth and said that he didn't want to talk to Fang Chen. It was really annoying. Ninety-three million, and it was still US dollars, turned into a fly in Fang Chen's mouth.

This amount of money is probably enough to buy all the flies in the world.

While he was complaining about Fang Chen with great joy, Berezovsky suddenly had an idea in his mind, thought for dozens of seconds, and then said to Fang Chen with some uncertainty: "You plan to buy these vouchers, and then

Invest in these gas and oil companies?”

He suddenly realized just now that Fang Chen only said that he would buy these vouchers at a high price and eliminate the foundation, but he did not say what he would do after the foundation was eliminated?

And now looking at Fang Chen's appearance, it is obvious that he is interested in natural gas and oil companies.

As expected, Fang Chen nodded straightforwardly, "Our main investment direction in the future is natural gas and oil companies, but we do not pursue full control, we just want to participate in as many shares as possible."

Russia's most important asset, which is also the most valuable asset, is naturally the natural gas and oil flowing throughout Russia.

At this point, let alone the heavy industry that the Soviets were proud of, even the nuclear bomb, which was known as a house-killing weapon, could not compare with it.

Every time the United States and other Western countries imposed sanctions on Russia, they always focused on oil and natural gas.

And after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the past two years, why has Russia remained as a whole despite such severe inflation and currency devaluation, and why it has not been divided again? Why has it been able to exchange rubles from the Russian Central Bank for U.S. dollars? It is because of Russia

There is a lot of oil and natural gas.

Even to put it bluntly, as mentioned just now, the more than 20 billion US dollars gained by Gazprom from selling natural gas and oil this year were actually used to stabilize the social economy and ensure the import of scarce materials.

To be honest, Fang Chen couldn't even imagine what Russia would be like without these huge oil and gas resources. I'm afraid it would have fallen apart hundreds of times.

And he always believed that Russia, or the Soviet Union, was China's best mentor. Even if she fell, it would show China what a big red country would end up after if it changed its color.

In addition, he also thought that after the Soviet Union became Russia, it could still survive by relying on its huge resources, but what about China?

China is naturally said to be a country with a vast land and abundant resources, but once it is averaged over everyone's head, it will be ranked last in the world.

In other words, God has decreed that the Chinese people cannot be like Russia, even Australia, Canada and other countries, who can join the ranks of developed countries just by eating natural resources.

If you want to become a developed country and stand at the top of the world's nations, you must go through hard work, self-innovation, and a complete transformation. What's more, you must know that once it falls apart, it will be a dead end.

After a quick calculation in his mind, Berezovsky said: "If this is your goal, it won't actually cost much."

Although natural gas and oil resources are the bulk of the total industrial value in Russia, accounting for almost one-third, it is obvious that Fang Chen does not intend to fully grasp these oil and gas resources, and he cannot fully grasp these resources.

According to his judgment, if he masters about 20%, it should be good. If he talks more, he will easily become the target of public criticism and be targeted and attacked.

After all, no matter what, Fang Chen is still a Chinese.

The reason why he feels that Fang Chen can control 20% of Russia's oil and gas resources without any problems is because Fang Chen not only has strong strength, but also has a broad and deep network of relationships. The most important thing is that in the eyes of the Russians, Fang Chen

It has always had a good reputation.

Especially this time, the purchase of the voucher at a high price and the exposure of the true face of the foundation will definitely give Fang Chen a serious reputation in the eyes of the Russians.

But if there are more, it will be a problem. After all, Rutskoy, Yeltsin and their people are not fools. How could they not see the preciousness of Russian oil and gas resources and not take action on Russian oil and gas resources, and Fang Chen got more?

Naturally they took less.

If this is the case, Fang Chen actually only needs to get 6% of all warrants.

Calculated based on the 148 million warrants in the country, that is 9 million warrants. Even if one is 6 US dollars, it is only 54 million US dollars. If it goes up a little more, 100 million US dollars is almost the same, which is far less than one billion US dollars.

right.
