Making Something Out of Nothing

If Wang Ye really needed money urgently now, ten or twenty billion US dollars would definitely not be a problem.

To say nothing else, Khovchenko had a huge amount of cash on hand right now!

During Yukos's restructuring some time ago, he had transferred quite a few of his shares and received an astonishing sum in cash.

If Wang Ye needed it urgently, borrowing ten or twenty billion from him would be effortless.

But the problem was, Wang Ye felt there was no need for that.

Even without purchasing Ka-60s or Il-76s, Wagner Company's weapons and equipment were more than sufficient.

Especially in a poor place like Africa, was there really any need for such "luxurious" equipment?

Most importantly, Petrov's habit of acting first and reporting afterward had put Wang Ye on guard.

He had to keep Wagner under his own control, but Wang Ye could not possibly stay at the security base all day. That made it inconvenient for him to interfere in personnel matters, and besides, he had never been a soldier himself.

He could hardly insist on having a layman lead professionals.

Besides, he had more important matters to handle and no energy to manage Wagner Company personally.

So Wang Ye would control it financially!

No matter how prestigious Petrov was within Wagner, or how all the middle- and lower-level managers had been promoted by him, it did not matter.

As long as Petrov dared to harbor any disloyal thoughts, Wang Ye could cut off Wagner's supplies!

From beginning to end, Wagner's finance department had been based in Moscow.

Every employee, whether stationed at the Siberia security base, the Sevastopol base, or a base far away in Africa, received their salary from the Moscow finance department!

With over ten thousand employees, monthly payroll was an enormous expense.
