The decision to invest in Crimea had clearly caught a few people's attention.
Gavriil had specially invited Wang Ye for dinner at their regular spot - the Turandot Restaurant. It was the same private dining room as always, just the two of them.
"You little bugger! You're seriously investing, huh? I thought you were joking. But do you have that much money? Even if it's your Uncle Khodorkovsky, he couldn't come up with ten billion!"
Gavriil jokingly berated Wang Ye immediately they met, patting him on the shoulder.
Wang Ye had mentioned this investment to him before but hadn't given specifics, and Gavriil hadn't paid much attention then.
He assumed Wang Ye was investing in some gambling and tourism-related projects, totaling a few hundred million USD. Small business!
But a few days ago, when Wang Ye signed a formal investment contract in Crimea, the news reached Moscow.
Gavriil was surprised to find out that the young man had invested 10 billion in one go!
