The result of the board of directors' discussion was that everyone unanimously supported Wang Ye's proposed collaboration plan.
As long as he could land the deal, everything else was negotiable. They even authorized Wang Ye to directly represent the Yukos Group and sign the contract on the spot!
But the problem was, no one believed he could secure such a contract.
Let alone the Yukos Group, no company in the global oil industry had ever signed a contract of this magnitude...
Two hundred billion US dollars!
The figure is simple enough to state, yet the reality is that of the world's 233 countries and regions, only twenty have a GDP that reaches this amount!
Taking Russia for instance, its GDP in 2001 was barely 300 billion...
The people in the board meeting were no fools. They were all highly educated elites, which was precisely why they understood just how outlandish Wang Ye's proposal was!
