Shao Yigu would certainly keep tabs on the Wagner's Company.
After all, he handled the procurement of most of the weapons and equipment, and by looking at the procurement list alone, one can infer the current state of Wagner's Company.
More importantly, Shao Yigu is the head of the Security Bureau!
Essentially, there's nothing happening in Russia he wouldn't know about...
So, when he brought up something about Wagner's Company, Wang Ye didn't hide anything, but casually said:
"Their scale isn't small, amounting about fifteen or sixteen thousand people. The next main goal of the company is to expand in Africa, hence, we need sufficient personnel and equipment. Thank uncle for helping us secure many affordable deal for the equipment, or else, with such a large security company to sustain, I may have bankrupted by now, haha."
Wang Ye genuinely needed to thank Shao Yigu.
Since Wagner's Company was established to this point, Wang Ye has already spent several billion US dollars!
