Once Wang Ye understood the situation, he naturally knew what he should choose.
Of course, he was going to invest a billion dollars in it, to secure that 51% controlling stake!
As for why Khodorkovsky set up two thresholds specifically for him, with the shares differing between a five billion and ten billion US dollar investment, Wang Ye vaguely understood.
Because Khodorkovsky was aware of Wang Ye's financial situation, and knew that the only hope for such a large sum of money was the profit from shorting US stocks.
As for how much the profit would be, it was unpredictable, but presumably Khodorkovsky estimated it to be not less than half a billion dollars, right...?
Therefore, whether Wang Ye chooses to invest half a billion or a billion dollars now is meaningless.
He will only know how much to invest once his final earnings are out!
