Chapter 1021: Alec Perov's Questions
"Hey, Wajit, why are you here? This is such a surprise. Are you okay?" After the familiar figure got off the yacht, Yang Jing smiled and greeted him. The man opposite immediately gave him a warm hug.
"I'm fine, Albert, I also have a question, why are you here?" Alec Perov asked with a laugh.
The two familiar figures that Yang Jing saw were Russian oil oligarchs, Vajit Alecperov who had a very good relationship with Yang Jing, and the other was Alecperov's secretary Arikse Vasily. Of course, behind them were two tall and powerful Russian men, who could tell at a glance that they were the personal bodyguards of the oil oligarchs.
Yang Jing did not answer Alec Perov's question, but let go of the oil oligarch and smiled and said, "Wajit, I guess you are here to customize a superyacht, right? Why, have your Siberian Endeavor been forgotten by you?"
Last year, Yang Jing went to Baku to "find" a new oil and gas reservoir for Rongbao Mining. The old oil wells that Guo Dabao took over from Baku were the old oil wells under the name of Alec Perov. Through that incident, Yang Jing was also very familiar with the oil oligarch. Later, when Yang Jing went upstream along the Ertise River to find the gold left by the last Tsar, the oil oligarch readily lent his Siberian Endeavor superyacht to Yang Jing for use.
The yacht left a deep impression on Yang Jing. Although the yacht was only 147 feet, which was about 45 meters long and not very fast, Yang Jin lived on the yacht during the period of searching for the gold left by the last Tsar.
"Haha, Albert, do you think I'm like the kind of person who is tired of the old? But when I was drinking with the guy Roman that day, that guy laughed at my Siberian Endeavour. Didn't that guy have a Sun Eclipse, so I planned to build a big guy. But I haven't made up my mind yet. This time I came here, I heard that a big guy came here, so I came here to appreciate this big guy, and I could learn from it."
Yang Jing and Alecperov looked at the Al Said at the same time. Alecperov smiled and said, "This is such a beautiful big guy, right?"
Yang Jing nodded and asked in a low voice: "Wajit, in terms of your wealth, why don't you build a big guy bigger than the Sun Eclipse? It also makes Mr. Abramovich envious."
The Roman that Vajit just mentioned is another Russian oil oligarch and the owner of Chelsea, Chelsea, the Blues, who is also one of the top four in the Premier League. Abramovich was once Russia's richest man, but in recent years, as oil prices continue to decline, Abramovich's wealth has also dropped a lot.
Compared with Abu, Alex Perov's net worth was not as good as Abu, but Alex Perov's Luke Oil has been actively developing outward, unlike Abu's oil companies, which have been limited to Russia. Therefore, in recent years, as Luke Oil's market value has continued to rise, even though Alex Perov only owns 10.4% of Luke Oil's shares, Alex Perov's net worth has exceeded that of Abu, which owns 36% of Siberian Oil's shares in the Forbes Global Rich List last year.
In the Forbes Rich List last year, Alec Perov's net worth was as high as US$16.4 billion, while Abu's net worth was only US$10.8 billion. The net worth between the two has been widened a lot without realizing it.
Therefore, it is okay for Yang Jing to ask this question. With Alecperov's current wealth, it would be absolutely fine if he kept a superyacht that surpassed the Sun Eclipse.
However, after Yang Jing asked this question, Alecperov shook his head slightly and said, "Albert, at our age, there is no need to argue about these superficial things. If Roman said too exciting a few days ago, I wouldn't have come here to see the yachts. What's more, even if I customized a superyacht here and waited for the yacht to be built, I probably wouldn't have the time and energy to play. So, I suddenly felt a little boring just now."
Yang Jing nodded slightly. Alex Perov's age was a big problem. Although he was richer than Abu, he couldn't stand him being 16 years younger than him. Abu, who is fifty-four years old this year, still has a lot of time to spend on driving his superyacht on a global tour, but Alex Perov couldn't do it.
If he customizes a superyacht now, when the superyacht is built, he will be at least 74 years old. How much energy does he have to play?
Yang Jing felt that Alec Perov's words were reasonable, but the other person didn't think so.
"Oh, sorry to bother, Mr. Alecperov, I think your age is not a problem, and your health is not a problem. I think even when you reach 80, you can still drive a superyacht around the world. And shouldn't people like you enjoy their life better after retirement?"
This voice made Yang Jing and Alec Perov's eyes focus on this man. This was a tall white German man, about fifty years old. Seeing both of them looking at him, he said with a restrained smile: "Mr. Yang, I'm very happy to know you. I am Ludwig Muller, the ceo of Leshun."
"Hey, Mr. Muller, I'm glad to know you." Yang Jing stretched out his hand and shook him.
"I heard Robert call you and say you are here, but I want to accompany Mr. Alecperov to visit the shipyard, so I delayed for a while, so I'd forgive you."
"Haha, Mr. Muller, that's okay. For us, Leshun, customers are God, and receiving customers well is what we should do the most."
After hearing Yang Jing say this, Muller's a little nervous heart just now completely relaxed. He knew very well that although he was Leshun's CEO and also owned 3.4% of Leshun's shares, he was really nothing compared to the person in front of him.
The largest holding institution in Leshun is Atlantic Capital. This suddenly rising behemoth actually holds 22% of Leshun's shares. The most important thing is that Mr. Joseph Hunter, the CEO of Atlantic Capital, just worked for the young Chinese man in front of him. This is simply too unexpected.
Moreover, Leshun’s largest partner, Feiyang International Group, the newly emerging luxury jewelry giant, has also worked for this person, so the identity of this person in front of him is really terrifying.
After receiving the call from Schultz, although Mueller accompanied Alec Perov to visit the second shipyard, he still took time to make a call to Michael Burco and Joseph Hunter, and then he confirmed the true identity of the young Chinese man from both of them.
Although the Russian oil oligarch is also a super rich man, it is incomparable to the young man in front of him. The difference between the two is several orders of magnitude.
Others don’t know about Atlantic Capital and Feiyang International, but why did Ludwig Muller not know? One is Leshun’s largest shareholder and the other is Leshun’s largest partner. How could Muller not understand these two giants that have just appeared in front of the world?
But the more you know Muller, the more you are, the more shocked they are. These two giants that suddenly popped out of the cracks of the stone are simply incredible. In comparison, Apple and Amazon are simply a baby...
Especially the Atlantic Capital, several super multinational giants in Germany, such as Siemens, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Allianz Insurance, Bosch Group, Buffs, and Atlantic Capital seem to be the largest holding institutions of these multinational giants...
How can this strength be reflected by a simple company's market value?
Although Leshun ranks among the top superyacht builders around the world, it cannot be compared with those multinational giants in any case.
Alec Perov, who was standing by, heard the conversation between the two and asked curiously: "Ludwig, why, do you know Albert?"
Alec Perov's question made Muller a little embarrassed. He looked at Yang Jing, and Yang Jing nodded without objection. Muller felt relieved.
"Mr. Alec Perov, you may not know yet that our largest holding institution in Leshun is Atlantic Capital. Have you ever heard of this group?"
Alec Perov nodded. As a famous European oil tycoon, where can he not know about Atlantic Capital, which suddenly rose? The most important thing is that some major shareholders of Luke Oil have changed their shares some time ago, and those shares that are close to 30% of Luke Oil are the recipients of this Atlantic Capital.
In other words, Alec Perov, the founder of Luke Oil, became an attraction-based capital.
Although Alec Perov was helpless, there was nothing he could do. Luke Oil has been expanding to the outside world over the years, so it was inevitable to raise funds during the expansion process. Some foreign funds entered Luke Oil, so there was nothing he could do if these capitals changed like this.
But what Alexoperov couldn't understand the most was that the old shareholders who started their business with him actually transferred their shares to Atlantic Capital, which made Alexoperov feel a little scared.
If these old shareholders want to transfer their shares without hesitation, it directly explains a problem. Atlantic Capital has targeted Luke Oil's shares as early as the beginning of Luke Oil's establishment...
So, Alec Perov knew very well that this Atlantic capital was a very terrifying existence. Now Ludwig suddenly mentioned this Atlantic capital. Does this terrifying Atlantic capital have any connection with Albert?
