Chapter 1008 Super Manor

In the past few years, after receiving dividends from various companies at the beginning of each year, they basically spent them immediately and did not stay on their accounts for long.

Many of his companies are not all cash cows like Yukos Group, Kitty Hawk Group, Siberia Gold, etc. Don't forget there are also bottomless pits such as Wagner and Crimei Investment.

In addition to Zhang Xiaoxi's asset management company...

It can be said that no amount of dividends is enough!

However, the situation is different this year. Whether it is investment by Wagner or Crimea, or domestic asset management companies, there is no need for capital investment for the time being.

The money in Wang Ye's hands is not going to be reinvested, but to be spent!

Four billion U.S. dollars is not a small amount of money, and it is quite difficult to spend it. However, the things Wang Ye wants to buy this time are not cheap, and he should be able to spend all the four billion U.S. dollars...

He and Rosiana are not too young, and both of them are now successful in their careers and in high positions. It would be a bit unreasonable if they were still single and procrastinated not to get married.

Besides, considering the two of them, getting married is not an easy matter, and they need to start preparing several years in advance.

At the very least, Wang Ye must prepare the house...

He still doesn't have a house of his own.

It doesn't matter when you're single, it's very convenient to live on the top floor of the Kitty Eagle Hotel, no worse than those so-called high-end apartments.

But after getting married, it is not suitable to live here again.

So Wang Ye is going to build a manor, do as the Romans do, and rich people like to live in manors, so Wang Ye is also an "old man" now, and the "home" he prepared for himself is of course a big manor!

If you just buy a piece of land in the suburbs to build a manor, it won't cost you much, at least one to two hundred million U.S. dollars. This is considered a top luxury house.

But Wang Ye took a fancy to a place, which was located opposite the Kremlin in the city center and across the Moskva River from the Kremlin.

This was originally a manor called "Kalominsk Manor", which was built in the 14th century and was the Tsar's summer resort at that time.

That's right, this manor is located on a hillside, higher than the Kremlin Palace, standing in the manor overlooking most of Moscow city!

Since it is a royal manor, it naturally covers a large area, a full 390 hectares!

One hectare is equal to 0.01 square kilometers, so this manor covers an area of 3.9 square kilometers...

This thing is bigger than the Kremlin!

You know, the Kremlin only covers an area of 28 hectares, and the area of this Kalominsk manor is fully equal to 14 Kremlins!

It is located in the absolute city center, with a huge area, and it is also a royal garden. If you want to buy this manor, the price is not cheap.

This is also the reason why Wang Ye prepared a full four billion dollars.

Actually, if his fiance wasn't Rosiana, Wang Ye wouldn't even think about buying this manor, because it's too "ostentatious" and won't have a good influence.

But Rosiana is a direct descendant of the Tsar, the contemporary "Grand Duke Romanov"!

Looking at it this way, it would be very suitable to buy this manor and renovate it as the future home of the two of them, and ordinary people should not say anything.

After all, this is considered "return to the original owner".

Of the 4.1 billion dollars he prepared, 2 billion may be used to buy the manor, and the remaining 2 billion is naturally used for reconstruction and repairs.

After all, this manor has been around for hundreds of years, and the buildings inside have long been dilapidated, and most of them are wooden buildings, which are completely uninhabitable.

In addition to the fact that the state's finances were not enough to make ends meet in the past few years, naturally there was no extra money to maintain this kind of place, so the manor was also in disrepair for a long time, and almost all the buildings inside needed to be demolished and rebuilt.

Of course, the funds prepared by Wang Ye are so abundant, it is definitely enough.

After he rebuilds the manor, this mansion should be the most expensive mansion in the world, not one of them...

After all, this is a super manor worth four billion dollars!

The Kalominsk Manor belongs to the city of Moscow, and it belongs to Rosiana. In addition, when it is rebuilt, the owner of the king will mainly consider Rosiana's opinion.

So, he found some free time, asked Rosiana to have dinner together, and shared his thoughts with her.

After listening to Wang Ye, Rosiana was very happy.

Because Wang Ye finally started to think about the issue of the two getting married...

"That's a great idea!

I have been to that manor several times. The scenery is very beautiful. If it is well repaired, it will be very comfortable to live in.

But such a large piece of land in the city center will be very expensive.

Besides, if the two of us buy land, there will definitely be many people watching, so it is not easy to give a low price. "

Rosiana was happy at first, then frowned as she spoke.

That's right, because of the sensitive identities of the two of them, they couldn't even offer a low price to buy the Kalominsk Manor.

Otherwise, it's just giving others a handle!

Wang Ye smiled and said casually: "Money is not a problem. I just received a dividend of 4 billion dollars a few years ago, and I plan to invest all of this money in this manor. Buy this manor with 2 billion dollars , it shouldn't be considered a low price. You can also give an explanation to the people in the state.

Hearing the amount that Wang Ye said, Rosiana's eyes widened instantly.

Of course she knows that Wang Ye is very rich, but it is still too exaggerated to build a manor with four billion dollars...

You know, the most expensive residence in the world may be the Buckingham Palace of the King of England. It was once estimated at 6 billion dollars!

The budget of the manor Wang Ye wants to build now is as high as four billion dollars, which is almost comparable to Buckingham Palace.

As for the other so-called mansions and manors, they are not enough in front of these two super mansions...

"Is it worth spending so much money? It's too... extravagant!" Rosiana sighed.

"Haha, since you want to build your own house, you have to do your best, otherwise, what are you doing with the money you earn?" Wang Ye said casually.

This manor will be lived in for a long time in the future, of course Wang Ye will not fool around casually.

Although the money spent was quite a lot, it seemed a bit "ostentatious", but Wang Ye felt that there was no problem.

To be honest, his "waste" of such a generous amount may be seen in the eyes of some people, but it is reasonable.

Seeing that Wang Ye had already made a decision, Rosiana naturally wouldn't object.

She began to look forward to what the manor would look like after it was built...

While resting at night, Rosiana suddenly mentioned Tonya.

She smiled and said:

"There was a ballet performance at the National Dance Academy two days ago, and your little girlfriend just happened to be there, so I secretly went to see it.

Don't tell me, she looks pretty, and she can dance well.

It seems that he will become a big star in the future! "

Wang Ye felt a little embarrassed, and said to him from left to right, "Why...why did you suddenly think of going to the ballet? Aren't you busy with work recently?"

The corners of Rosiana's mouth turned up slightly, and she saw Wang Ye's guilty conscience, so she said, "Why, what are you worried about? I knew she had just come to Moscow. I'm just curious, what kind of girl can make you You were so moved that you even brought it back from Irkutsk."

She really didn't care about this matter. When she knew Wang Ye, she knew that Wang Ye had many girls around him.

In addition to the environment in which she grew up, this kind of thing is also very common, and she has long been used to it.

It's just that Rosiana has a principle, that is, Wang Ye can play a little bit outside, but it can't affect the careers of the two, can't make scandals fly, and can't affect the future family

Wang Ye is not the kind of person who loses his head. He also agrees with Rosiana's thoughts, so he pays attention to this most of the time.

Try not to let his other girlfriends appear in front of Rosiana as much as possible, and never mention other girls in front of Rosiana.

Today, Rosiana took the initiative to bring it up, and felt a little embarrassed for a while...

After laughing awkwardly, Wang Ye changed the subject and said:

"By the way, the Industrial Fund Office recently submitted a plan to me, which involves domestic network infrastructure construction, and this is related to your family's industry.

When you leave tomorrow, take that plan with you and send it to your grandpa for a look.

Our domestic network construction is too backward, and the Internet penetration rate is not high enough. Even in small remote cities, there is no Internet connection. Even in a big city like Petersburg, Moscow, the Internet access fee is too high.

The future era is the era of the Internet. If the hardware foundation cannot keep up, it will affect the development of the entire industry.

The idea of the Industrial Fund Office is that the state will provide part of the funds, and several communication companies will also provide part of the funds to popularize the domestic Internet and reduce the cost..."

To be honest, if Yi Lianna hadn't submitted this plan, Wang Ye would have ignored it.

Seeing the plan, Wang Ye remembered that when he was an ordinary student, he also hated the high Internet fees in Moscow!

At that time, he was in school, and it was not difficult to apply for the Internet. After all, he was in Moscow, and the school was considered a well-known university, so the basic conditions were met.

However, even in universities, there are not many students who have access to the Internet.

Because both the computer and the Internet fees are too high, ordinary college students can't afford it at all...

A computer with a very common configuration costs about six or seven hundred dollars.

Internet access is charged according to traffic, not to mention slow network speed, traffic charges are very scary!

Don't talk about watching videos, just browse the news online, play QQ, play online games, the monthly fee for surfing the Internet is one or two hundred dollars

How can ordinary college students afford it!

Only international students and a few old-fashioned college students have the opportunity to surf the Internet frequently.

As for the Internet cafes, the Internet cafes here are different from those in China.

The environment may not be much better than that in China, but the price can drop a few streets in China...

Wang Ye has been emphasizing the development of the Russian-language Internet for the past two years. After taking charge of the Industrial Fund Office, Elena did a detailed research on the Internet industry in Damao.

Then submitted a report, pointing out that if you want to develop the Internet industry, the most basic point is to popularize the Internet first, so that more ordinary people can have access to the Internet...

It is impossible to reduce the price of computer hardware too much in a short period of time, but the cost of Internet access can be controlled. As long as there are enough users, the cost will naturally decrease after the cost is shared.

And the major communication companies in Damao are basically controlled by Rosiana and her family, so Wang Ye said that he would take this report to Rosiana's grandfather Constantine to study.

Sure enough, Rosiana's attention was attracted.

She nodded without hesitation, and said happily: "No problem! I also think that the development of the Internet in China is too slow. Looking at the Internet companies abroad, many of them have grown into giants. And there are only three companies in our country. There are two fairly good Internet companies, and you invested in the one with the best prospects... No, it should be said that you invested in those companies."

Indeed, Wang Ye took advantage of the cold winter of the Internet a few years ago to directly acquire two of the best Russian Internet companies, even privatized them, and then integrated YANDEX and MAIL.RU.

Then added a lot of investment, making this company a giant on the Russian Internet!

But it is difficult for this company to develop in Europe and the United States, and it can only be limited to Russian-speaking regions, so the development prospects are limited.

Facebook, which has emerged in the past two years, has a bright future!

Under the investment and guidance of Wang Ye, Facebook has begun to go overseas, and has established joint ventures with Chinese partners and American partners.

Respectively responsible for the operation of Facebook on the English Internet and the Chinese Internet.

In order to avoid some risks in advance, Wang Ye even gave the controlling stake of the cooperative company to the American and Chinese partners!

Although Facebook has not yet been officially listed, its valuation has already reached more than 20 billion dollars...

After the two discussed it, Wang Ye began to formally go through the process to apply to Moscow State for the purchase of the Kalominsk estate.

Of course, it will not be purchased in the name of a private person, but a fund company controlled by Wang Ye will come forward, which is more convenient in the financial process.

Rosiana is also business-like, and did not intervene in it, but let the relevant departments below discuss and make decisions on their own.

After some negotiations, Wang Ye bought the Kalominsk Manor at a price of US$1.6 billion!

The price was lower than he expected.

After buying the manor, the reconstruction work was put on the agenda, and Rosiana came forward at this time.

She recommended herself to be responsible for the reconstruction of the manor. After all, this will be her "home" in the future, so of course she will be very careful.

Spend a lot of money to hire the world's most well-known architectural design firm, and several architectural design masters joined forces to re-plan and design the Kalominsk Manor and prepare to start the reconstruction work.

Of course, this is a big project, and it is estimated that it will take about three years to complete the construction.

It just so happened that it was time for Wang Ye and Rosiana to get married...
