The Super Rich: Start from when the family business is about to go bankrupt!

Chapter 796 WPG Anna's Farm! An Wuyang's Long-Term Plan: Clearing Obstacles to Controlling the CLC Group?
Upon hearing the news from Ivan, An Wuyang exclaimed, "This is truly wonderful news!"

"Congratulations, Mr. An, on this double blessing!" Ivan said congratulatoryly.

An Wuyang chuckled and teased, "You found out too?"

Ivan is the spokesperson for Pushkin's team, so he must know about the Ukrainian intelligence agency.

"The UK Alliance intelligence agency's affairs have caused a sensation on the global internet, how could I not know?" Ivan emphasized the information he obtained from the internet.

Then Ivan, the relationship expert, commented, "Mr. An handled this crisis exceptionally well. If anyone wants to target Mr. An in the future, they'd better think twice!"

After all, targeting An Wuyang would result in severe retaliation from him. Shouldn't we carefully consider our options before taking any action against him?
In fact, this is exactly the effect that An Wuyang wanted!
There is a classic saying in the Xia Dynasty: "How can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?"
The wisdom of the saying "A single punch can prevent a hundred more" will never be outdated.

Wugengtian has risen to power in a very short time and controls too much wealth. Even though An Wuyang has already gathered and established multiple interest groups, it is still not a good thing if Wugengtian does not have its own core power.

Therefore, when faced with the assassination attempt by the UK Alliance Intelligence Bureau, An Wuyang did not hesitate to show a vengeful attitude, thus establishing an image that was not to be trifled with.

Otherwise, who knows how much trouble will follow?
The idea of ​​repaying evil with kindness is a complete misunderstanding of the old saying, and An Wuyang would never be that kind of fool.

After An Wuyang finished talking with Ivan, he took the initiative to say to Anna, "Anna, things are almost settled at Ancas Farm. Would you like to change its name?"

"Change your name?" Anna asked, slightly puzzled.

"How about changing it to 'Anna's Farm'?" An Wuyang suggested.

Anna's eyes lit up immediately. Foreigners like to use their own names for various things, including high-end luxury brands.

For example, the founder of the famous 'Louis Vuitton' was named 'Louis Vuitton'.

Simply put, it's similar to the 'Zhang Daquan' knives from the Xia Kingdom.

“I think it would be better if we named it together,” Anna said, offering her opinion.

“For example, it could be called ‘Anna’s Farm,’ or ‘Double An Farm,’” Anna suggested.

An Wuyang waved his hands repeatedly!
An Wuyang didn't like using his own name for naming things; he even felt a little embarrassed.

"No need, no need, just call it [Anna's Farm], since there are restrictions on foreign investment in agriculture in your Northern Bear Country," An Wuyang explained.

Anna then nodded in agreement.

“I have a suggestion regarding farm management,” An Wuyang added.

Anna rejected the suggestion outright, without even listening to it, saying, "I don't want to stay here and manage the farm!"

Anna has no desire to stay in the Northern Bear Kingdom!
She prefers the modern metropolis to the relatively backward North Bear Country.

If An Wuyang wanted her to stay in the Northern Bear Kingdom to manage Anna's Farm, Anna would give up Anna's Farm without hesitation!
Hearing Anna's refusal, An Wuyang smiled and said, "I'm not asking you to stay and manage Anna's farm. I'm suggesting that your older brother, Sergei, take over the management."

"Sergei?" Anna asked, puzzled.

An Wuyang explained, "When Sergei was assigned to acquire the pine cone forest, I met him and we also had a conversation."

Although Sergei failed directly in his attempt to acquire the pine cone forest farm, wasn't that destined to fail?
However, Sergei did not give up when faced with something that was destined to fail. He was even willing to do it despite knowing it was impossible, which allowed An Wuyang to see Sergei's talent and perseverance to some extent.

Now that there are suitable projects available, An Wuyang wouldn't mind giving Sergei a chance.

“This is a win-win situation,” An Wuyang added. “Didn’t you say before that you also wanted to compete for the CLC Group’s succession rights?”

“If your eldest brother were to manage Anna’s farm, and your second brother Vasily were to focus on the Siberian Cloud Fire Vine project, it would be easier for you to inherit the CLC Group!” An Wuyang added.

Anna fell silent. So, had An Wuyang started paving the way for her a long time ago?
After all, according to An Wuyang, Sergei and Vasily both had their own projects to be responsible for, so her chances of winning did indeed increase dramatically.

In particular, Vasily, who was given more importance, was transferred to the Far East region of Siberia. He was almost far away from the core of the CLC Group, which meant that he had withdrawn from the competition.

However, Anna still refused An Wuyang's kind offer.

“I did want to take control of the CLC Group in the past, but I don’t want to anymore,” Anna replied.

Anna didn't know An Wuyang back then, and she had never seen a wider world, so her original wish was to control the CLC Group.

However, Anna is no longer obsessed with controlling the CLC Group; she wants to be with An Wuyang.

CLC Group?

Isn't it now practically a vassal state of the early morning?
In response to Anna's answer, An Wuyang nodded noncommittally.

"What do you think about handing Anna's farm over to Sergei to run?" An Wuyang asked.

Anna nodded. "I think it's fine. Sergei is quite capable."

Sergei is indeed very capable, but unfortunately Kashiev is still young, which is the biggest problem!

Kashiev is not yet fifty years old, which is a prime age.

It would be unrealistic to expect Kashiev to retire at this point and hand over control of the CLC Group to Sergei.

Cases of prematurely handing over power, like at dawn, are actually extremely rare.

So, being a spendthrift rich second-generation father isn't all bad?

"Should you notify him, or should I do it?" An Wuyang asked Anna for her opinion.

Anna replied, "You should inform him. My relationship with him is just so-so."

“Okay.” An Wuyang readily agreed, then found Sergei’s contact information on his phone and dialed the number.

CLC Group Headquarters.

Sergei was still in his office reviewing the CLC Group's financial statements when he received a call from An Wuyang, and a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Because An Wuyang usually contacts his father, Kashiev, directly and never contacts him.

Although Sergei couldn't understand why An Wuyang was contacting him, it didn't stop him from answering the call immediately.

“Hello, Mr. An,” Sergei greeted in Xia language.

He started learning Xia language last October and now has a certain foundation in Xia language.

An Wuyang responded in Russian, "Sergei, do you have time now?"

Sergei's heart skipped a beat, and he answered without hesitation, "I have time."

“Then let me tell you something.” An Wuyang began to explain about Anna’s farm. “Would you like to manage Anna’s farm?” An Wuyang asked.

Sergei took a deep breath. Just now, when An Wuyang told him to manage Anna's farm, he was wondering if An Wuyang had ulterior motives.
Sergei also considered the possibility that An Wuyang was clearing obstacles for Anna to take over the CLC Group.

After all, Vasily has already been assigned to oversee the Siberian Cloudfire Vine project in the Far East. If he is transferred away from the CLC Group, it would mean that Anna's chances of taking over the CLC Group would increase dramatically.

After all, Anna has a natural advantage over him and Vasily!
Anna is younger, and she has not worked in the CLC Group before. If she is to take over the CLC Group, she will need to work in the CLC Group for a long time, which will create a good power transition period with Kashev.

However, Sergei could not refuse the olive branch extended by An Wuyang.

First of all, An Wuyang is the financial backer of the CLC Group. Even Kashiev couldn't refuse An Wuyang, so how could Sergei refuse him?

Secondly, even if Sergei remains in the CLC group, he will not be able to gain power in the short term, and will instead be constantly suppressed by Kashiev.

Third, Anna's Farm has a promising future!

If Anna's farm were merely a ten-acre greenhouse, Sergei would feel that An Wuyang was humiliating him.

But Anna Farm was formerly known as Ancas Farm, a super farm covering more than 3.8 million square meters. He used to run Anna Farm, so he was also in charge of that side.

Whether to remain in the CLC Group as the nominal heir or go to Anna's Farm to take charge is still a matter for consideration.

“Thank you, Mr. An, I’m willing to go to Anna’s farm.” Sergei agreed immediately.

“Okay!” An Wuyang replied, “Get ready tomorrow, I’ll take you with me to deal with Anna’s farm.”

“No problem,” Sergei readily agreed.

After An Wuyang hung up the phone, Sergei considered for a moment and then dialed Kashiev.

A few seconds later, Kashiev answered the phone.

“Father,” Sergei spoke first, “I have something to tell you.”

"What is it?" Kashiev frowned inwardly, thinking that Sergei was trying to gain power again.

Sergei began to explain about Anna's farm.

After hearing this, Kashev had the same thought as Sergei: he also believed that An Wuyang was clearing obstacles for Anna.

But even Kashev couldn't stop it!
CLC Group's main and secondary businesses have now reversed, and it can be said that it relies entirely on the early morning hours for profits.

If An Wuyang insists on supporting Anna, even if Kashev tries to stop him, the other senior executives of the CLC Group will only support Anna.

After all, only Anna can bring them benefits!
The link between CLC Group and Wugengtian is Anna, not that CLC Group is willing to be Wugengtian's henchman and thug.

With so many guys willing to be thugs and stabbers for Wugengtian, why was CLC Group chosen?

The answer is Anna, of course!
“Since you’ve been put in charge of Anna’s farm, then manage it well and listen to Mr. Anna’s instructions,” Kashiev responded.

Sergei sighed inwardly, interpreting Kashev's answer as meaning that Kashev also chose Anna.

“Okay, thank you, Dad.” Sergei didn’t say anything more.

After hanging up the call, Sergei immediately began to check the situation at Ancas Farm. He was going to handle the relevant matters with An Wuyang the next day, and he needed to do his homework in advance to avoid being completely clueless.

The next day.

February 21st, Monday.

Around 8 a.m., An Wuyang and Anna were having breakfast at the Petrov Estate in the southern suburbs when Sergei arrived earlier and waited patiently in the reception room.

Ivan was also waiting in the reception room, and he and Sergei started chatting.

It's approaching nine o'clock.

An Wuyang and his group set off, and then, under Ivan's leadership, began to handle the acquisition of Ancas Farm.

With Pushkin's approval behind the scenes and Ivan's guidance, the whole thing went very smoothly, with the green light coming all the way.

The bank loans also offered very favorable terms!
For example, Ancas Farms asked for 40 billion rubles, but neither CLC Group nor Wugengtian paid a single penny; they all paid through bank loans.

The bank providing the loan is North Bear Foreign Trade Bank, which will provide a loan of 40 billion rubles with a loan term of up to ten years and an interest rate of only five percent!

Perhaps a 5% loan interest rate would seem quite high in Xia Country.

After all, in Xia Country, current loan interest rates can be reduced to as low as three percent.

However, this is the Northern Bear Kingdom!
Normally, when Beixiong Foreign Trade Bank lends money to foreign entities, the annual interest rate is as high as 5.9% to 13.8%. Now, the interest rate they are providing to the Anna Farm project has already exceeded the lower limit.

In addition, both parties agreed that early repayment was allowed, and there would be no penalty for early repayment, with interest calculated down to the day of repayment.

I have to say, these loan terms are pretty good, right?

However, the Northern Bear Foreign Trade Bank also has a requirement: CLC Group and Wugengtian must each provide a 50% guarantee for this loan.

This means that if Anna Farms becomes unable to repay its loans due to losses, then CLC Group and Five Watches will be responsible for repaying the loans.

An Wuyang and Kashiev both agreed to the request, because it was not an unreasonable one.

Around 4 p.m., Ancas Farm became a thing of the past, and Anna Farm officially went live.

According to the acquisition agreement, Anna Farm will take over all of Ancas Farm's original employees and will not be allowed to dismiss or fire them without cause, except in cases where employees make mistakes.

Sergei was officially appointed as the general manager of Anna Farm, and will be fully responsible for the operation of Anna Farm, including the construction of a ten-acre glass greenhouse in preparation for the transplantation of Tianjingyan blood oranges.

In addition, Sergei is also responsible for the planting work on the farm, and his income is highly correlated with the profitability of Anna's farm.

Sergei's salary consisted of two parts.

The first part is a fixed salary of only 16 rubles per month, which, with an exchange rate of 11.2, is roughly equivalent to 1.43 Chinese yen.

This income is not particularly high for Mosk, especially for Sergei; it certainly cannot be considered a high income.

However, Sergei has a second source of income.

After discussing it, Anna and An Wuyang decided to give Sergei 10% of the profits from Anna's farm as an annual bonus.

Therefore, Sergei's income is highly correlated with the profitability of Anna's farm.
