After hearing Mueller's words, Alekperov felt dizzy.
If what Mueller said was true, wouldn't that mean he was also Albert's scapegoat?
Patting his forehead, Alekperov tried to keep himself awake, and then asked Yang Jing in a low voice: "Albert, is what Ludwig said true? Are you really the behind-the-scenes boss of Atlantic Capital?"
Yang Jing looked at Alekperov with a half-smile, "Why, Wadget, don't you think I look like him?" Since he had agreed to Mueller telling Alekperov these facts, Yang Jing had no intention of hiding it from this very righteous fellow. Besides, the subsidiaries of the Dragon Fund have already begun to lift the ban, and it is not a bad thing to let people who are familiar with him know about these situations.
Although he had not had much contact with Alekperov for a long time, Yang Jing really admired this old man. Apart from anything else, the fact that he dared to go directly at the heads of the intelligence departments for his sake last time in Omsk was enough to prove how righteous this old man was.
Alekperov shook his head and said, "Albert, it's not that I don't believe it, I just think this change seems a bit too fast... I have been working in the oil industry for 30 years, but I didn't expect to become your subordinate now."
"Hey, Wadgit, you're wrong. I admit that my master had already set his sights on Russia's oil and gas industry when the former Soviet Union collapsed. At that time, it was not just your Lukoil, but other oil tycoon companies that my master had also laid out early on. Now, I'm just enjoying the benefits brought by my master's layout. Besides, Lukoil is still under your control. Even though Atlantic Capital under my name is the largest shareholder of Lukoil, we don't usually participate in the company's daily operations. We just want to quietly enjoy Lukoil's annual dividends. Of course, if Lukoil needs funds, Atlantic Capital dare not say anything else, but as for money, you can have as much as you want!"
Alekperov asked in surprise, "Your master?"
Yang Jing shrugged his shoulders. "Wajit, don't mention those things. It happened a long time ago, and my master is no longer with us. Now I have the final say in Atlantic Capital. But I can guarantee that Lukoil will still be under your control. We are good friends, aren't we? I will not seek your control over Lukoil. You can rest assured about this."
Alekperov was completely silent now.
Yang Jing smiled and patted the old man on the shoulder and said, "Wajit, don't you want to see a super yacht? Michael just customized a super yacht for me. Don't you want to take a look at the yacht I customized?"
Yang Jing's decisive change of topic was indeed very effective, and it immediately attracted Alekperov's attention.
“You also customized a super yacht here?”
"Well, it wasn't custom-made by me, but by Michael Burco, the CEO of Feiyang International and an old friend of mine."
Alekperov slapped his forehead again and muttered "Damn it" under his breath.
Yang Jing laughed loudly, then pulled Gege over and introduced her to Alekperov: "Vadget, this is my newlywed wife, Sofia Bai. Wife, this is the particularly righteous Russian old man I mentioned to you before, Vadget Alekperov. He helped me a lot when I went to Baku and Russia last year."
The two men exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Yang Jing led Alekperov into the dry dock again.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ludwig Muller also told Alecperov about the super yacht whose keel had just been laid. When Alecperov heard the data of this super yacht, he could only slap his forehead again to express his helplessness.
A super yacht of 212 meters and a displacement of more than 17,000 tons would be unaffordable even for Alekperov, but Albert built it as if she were a small yacht of 30 feet long.
It is true that people are damned when compared to others and goods are thrown away when compared to others. But how much is this guy's net worth?
Although Alekperov was very curious and wanted to ask, he finally refrained from asking. After all, considering his status, asking such a question would seem a bit childish.
"What do you think, Wadget? Why don't you customize one too? What Ludwig said just now is right. With your current health and energy, you will definitely be able to have one even in three or four years. By then, you can take your family on a trip around the world on your own super yacht. What a wonderful thing that would be."
Perhaps it was this series of stimulations that suddenly enlightened Alekperov. He bit his cheek and said, "Order! I'll order one too! It's just a super yacht. When this super yacht is built, I guess it will be time for me to retire. Then I'll drive this yacht around."
Yang Jing smiled and patted the old man on the shoulder and said, "Wajet, you should have this idea. Don't forget that you have contributed to Lukoil for thirty years. Now you are seventy years old, and it is time for you to enjoy your retirement. So, you should make your life more exciting. Don't stay in cold Russia all day long. Go to tropical areas more often. That is what you should consider more in the future."
