If Wang Ye really needed money now, surely ten or twenty billion US dollars would not be an issue.
Without mentioning anything else, Khodorkovsky currently has huge amounts of cash on hand!
During the Yukos restructuring a while ago, he had transferred a significant number of his shares and received an astonishing amount of cash.
If Wang Ye urgently needed money, borrowing ten or twenty billion from him would be a breeze.
But the problem is, Wang Ye doesn't feel the need.
Even without purchasing things like the Ka-60 helicopters and IL-76 transport aircraft, the weaponry of the Wagner Company were sufficient.
Especially in poor regions of Africa, was there a need for such "luxurious" equipment?
Most importantly, Petrov's approach of "acting first, reporting later" made Wang Ye wary.
