Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

At around two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, the preparatory building slowly became quiet as students poured out.

Alexander drank a cup of hot water, took a rest, packed his things and got ready to leave work.

He struggled to pick up the large backpack placed under his desk. It was full of various plastic slippers and cotton slippers, all wholesale from the big market.

I have to rush to the subway station to sell shoes soon. I hope I can sell a few more pairs today...

Just like his name, "a lot of pressure"!

When he reaches middle age, he has an elder and a younger one. Although he does not need to take care of the elderly at home, his parents are in good health and have pensions.

But you always have to take care of your wife and children...

Now my family only has an income of about US$300 per month. My wife is a housewife and I have two children, one of whom is in junior high school and the other in elementary school.

The family lives in an old house of about 40 square meters.

It’s not easy to gain a foothold in Moscow...

Just as he was about to go out, two students came to the door of the office.

"Teacher, do you have time? I have something I want to tell you."

One of the tall boys asked with a smile.

Alexander taught mathematics for several classes, and he also taught Wang Ye. He thought that these two students had any learning problems that he wanted to consult with him.

So he replied: "Okay, come in, but time is tight, I have to leave later."

After Wang Ye and Xiao Hu came in, they closed the door. There was no one else in the office but the three of them.

"What problems did you encounter in your studies? By the way, Wang, your Russian is not very good. How come you are having trouble with simple questions like the preparatory course?" Alexander asked curiously.

He was quite impressed by Wang Ye, because this student's Russian was so good!

He is also the best Russian-speaking student he has ever encountered in the preparatory class he has taught for so long!

Wang Ye smiled and said, "It's not about study, but something else. Let me introduce you. This is Xiao Hu. His family plans to open a company in Moscow."

Alexander was confused. What does this matter have to do with him?

Just start a company, there is no need to report to yourself...

He knows that many of the students he teaches, especially those from China, may not come here to study. They may go into business just after graduating from preparatory courses, or even before graduation...

Therefore, he was used to this kind of thing.

I'm just a little confused. This student's family has a company, so why should he tell me this?

Wang Ye asked simply: "Teacher, do you want to work in his company? It's a regular company, not a stall like a big market."

The reason why I emphasize this point is because I am afraid that Alexander will misunderstand.

Russians are quite "proud" at heart, especially an intellectual like Alexander. If he is asked to sell goods at a stall in a big market, he may not be willing even if the salary is several times higher than what he is now!

But if it is a serious company with a certain scale, there should be room for negotiation on this matter.

Sure enough, Alexander was stunned for a moment and asked: "Regular company? What does it do? Where is the office address?"

"The company that makes branded sports shoes is in the process of registration. It rents office space in the Alpha Hotel." Wang Ye said calmly.

Alexander is also someone who often goes to the big market, so he is naturally no stranger to the Alpha Hotel.

As soon as he heard that the company was located here, he became interested, because if you can rent a place to open a company here, you are more or less powerful, and it is indeed a formal company.

He hesitated, wanting to ask how much the salary would be, but he was too embarrassed to say it.

After all, I am a teacher, and it always feels a bit inappropriate to talk about this in front of students...

Wang Ye naturally understood what he was thinking, so he didn't wait for him to ask any more questions and said directly: "If you come over, teacher, the position will be sales manager, with a guaranteed salary of fifteen hundred US dollars per month, and there will also be business commissions! Normally, it would start with at least two thousand dollars a month.”

"Two thousand dollars"!

This number directly shocked Alexander!

He teaches preparatory courses at the University of Friends of Friends, and only earns just over three hundred dollars a month, which is not enough for his family. Otherwise, he would not have to go to the subway station to set up a street stall after get off work...

If he were not forced by life, as an intellectual, he would not do such a thing anyway.

Now that he heard that he could get two thousand dollars a month by joining Xiao Hu's company, his heart immediately became lively.

This much money is enough to live comfortably at home!

In Moscow, this salary is considered a high salary.

You know, when working here at Friendship University, even the deans of major departments cannot get so much money every month.

Two thousand dollars can almost buy a 90% new Lada car...

In a more remote area, you can buy a two-square-meter high-end community house!

Wang Ye continued: "Except for the boss, who is Chinese, this company basically hires Russians for other positions, and will continue to invest to make this brand famous in the entire Eastern European market!"

This is painting a bigger picture for Alexander. After all, an ambitious company can be more attractive.

Sure enough, Alexander no longer hesitated and asked eagerly: "Then will the company sign a formal labor contract?"

Wang Ye looked at Xiao Hu. After all, this was not his company, but the company of Xiao Hu's family.

Xiao Hu nodded simply and replied directly: "Yes!"

There was nothing left to say, and Alexander didn't care about selling his slippers anymore. He immediately took Wang Ye and Xiao Hu to sit down and chatted seriously about the company.

Wang Ye took this opportunity to explain to him the company-related matters, including venue leasing, company registration, and of course poaching salespeople from big markets...

Alexander laughed when he heard this, took out a worn-out mobile phone, and skillfully opened the phone's address book.

Pointing to a row of names, he said:

"This is absolutely no problem! I have recorded the phone calls of many Russians who are doing sales in big markets. Some of them are very good and have been working for several years. After the company's venue is rented in two days, I will make an appointment. They come to the company to chat after work. As long as the salary is not lower than that offered in big markets, they will definitely be willing to work in the company..."

This is normal, after all, the working environment in the big market is really not that good.

At the end of the day, not to mention the pain in your legs from standing, the noise alone can make your head buzz...

If the salary is the same or even higher, who wouldn't want to work in a regular company and sit in a bright and clean office?

Alexander also kept an eye on it. He would wait until his employment contract was signed and the company's space was rented before he went to help the company recruit people...
