While Oleg Deripaska is fighting for lifting sanctions with UC Rusal, Victor Vekselberg was the first of the billionaires and offered the government a detailed plan for the state support of his companies. The list is striking in its breadth - from state guarantees for loans in the amount of up to $ 5.5 billion to the ban on the import of Evian and Perrier, competing with Baikal Holding in Renova.

What does Vekselberg ask

• Refinancing in state -owned banks of € 820 million, taken on bail, 26.5% of UC Rusal shares (belong to the companies of Vekselberg and his partner Leonard Blavnik Sual Partners and Zonoville). The credits of the state banks should not be attached to the market value of the pledge - in other words, Vekselberg should not have the risk of new Margin Calls on these loans, which, as The Bell wrote , he encountered after Rusal has become a shared twice after the sanctions. Vekselberg asked Dmitry Medvedev on these loans back in mid -April.
• State guarantees for loans and bonds of Renovi for another 300 billion rubles ($ 4.7 billion) - if the group of the group falls under secondary sanctions.
• The benefits for the group’s energy companies are the release of T Plus company from fines for the power of power due to sanctions and restructuring for 10 years of the debt of the Hovel Solar Energy Producer to Rusnano.
• Customs protection measures - for example, barrage duties for foreign competitors of chemical, metallurgical and energy -building companies of the group. In addition, Renova, who owns the water manufacturer “Baikal Holding”, asks to completely ban the import of drinking water and soft drinks. Only 2-3% of the Russian market (DR Pepper, Evian, Perrier) will suffer from this, Maxim Novikov, head of the Union of Salcony drinks, told Kommersant.
• Guarantees of obtaining state contracts with Rostec, Gazprom Energolding and Rosatom.
• Benefits for the Holding “Airports of Regions” - reducing VAT for flights between the regions, bypassing Moscow, and, conversely, the cancellation of preferential VAT for airport maintenance of aircraft.

What am I to me?

From the plan of Vekselberg, we can draw the first conclusions about how much the state support will claim the oligarchs affected by the sanctions. Among the first ideas of the government for the help of the oligarchs was the creation of special domestic offshores with preferential conditions. It is far from the fact that the government will approve everything, but in the case of taking the measure proposed by Renova, “will create a separate preferential economic environment for the group,” the Kommersant states - and without any offshore.

MONEY

The crisis reached Sechin

It is difficult to believe in it, but it seems that the need to tighten the belts has reached a company where money never saved - Rosneft Igor Sechin. On Tuesday, she announced the program of ransom from the market by $ 2 billion (this should support the growth of capitalization in 2017) - and at the same time promised that for the first time since 2014 she would reduce expenses, and also send 500 billion rubles to pay off part of its huge debt (at the end of 2017 - 5.4 trillion rubles). This year, Rosneft will have to pay creditors a record 2.2 trillion rubles-it may have finally occurred to someone that financing Venezuela is not the best idea now.

Durov no longer needs

Telegram attracted so much money during the closed rounds of the ICO that he decided to postpone or completely cancel the public part of the placement, writes The Wall Street Journal with reference to the person who is familiar with the company's plans. Another source of the publication says that the refusal of the transaction may be partly related to the policies of the regulators, such as the securities and exchanges commission (SEC), which has seriously tightened since Telegram began to plan the sale of its tokens. In total, to create its own payment system and cryptocurrency, the company Pavel Durov attracted $ 1.7 billion, and was about to about $ 3 billion.

The main IPO-2018

But Xiaomi has submitted documents for the largest IPO since 2014 - then Alibaba attracted a record $ 25 billion. The smartphone manufacturer is going to place its papers for $ 10 billion in Hong Kong. If it succeeds, Xiaomi will receive an estimate of $ 100 billion.

End Cambridge Analytica

The Facebook user leakage scandal ended - at least for the perpetrators of the celebration. Yesterday, Cambridge Analytica, which collected data and used it for Donald Trump’s campaign,announced that it closes the business and fits bankruptcy - as the media suggest not to pay fines to regulators investigating its work. The end of Cambridge Analytica was as swift as taking off. The company’s employees immediately after the announcement were offered to immediately collect things, hand over computers and leave the building - and they promised to talk about compensation later.

Signals

There is no reception against the strike

Street protests in Armenia yesterday ended with a new victory of the opposition, led by Nikol Pashinyan. At first, it seemed that the protest won at the end of April, when the street forced Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan. But everything turned out to be not so simple. The majority in the parliament remained in the ruling party, and on May 1, Pashinyan refused to approve the prime minister. To solve this problem, it took only one day of the general strike with the overlap of traffic throughout the country - by the evening the deputies surrendered and promised on May 8 to approve the leader of the protest as the head of government. Russia reacts to events unexpectedly restrained, and the new prime minister says that nothing threatens relations between countries.

PRACTICE

Wedding uber

The Airbnb was forever changed the sphere of travel, Uber worked on transportation, Zillow Group transformed the real estate market. Technological companies are able to seriously change the landscape. Now the same thing is on the complex, but in a very large market for the organization of wedding ceremonies, the Zola startup is going to crank up . Now, to organize a wedding, future newlyweds have to use about 20 different products and applications, Zola wants to collect everything necessary in one place and become the main company in the market, the volume of which is estimated at $ 100 billion. While the company can offer the newlyweds to familiarize themselves with gifts that the guests are still going to give them and abandon the unnecessary in order to not spend money on the return of the junk to shops. Investors believe that people will not cease to marry - this week Zola attracted $ 100 million, among those who believed in the startup - Goldman Sachs and Comcast Corp.

Google against Google

For years, Google welcomed a corporate culture that encourages the freedom of self -expression of employees on a variety of issues. Now the employees of the huge corporation are in the most active way for any reason - from the policy of Donald Trump and discrimination on a variety of signs to the question of free weapons in the office. The last proposal was seriously discussed after the recent shooting , which was arranged at the YouTube headquarters of one of the bloggers. The active life position of employees turns against the company itself-recently, more than 3 thousand Google employees, including top managers, signed a collective letter addressed to Sundar Pichai, in which they protested against the participation of Google in the Pentagon program that uses artificial intelligence to increase the accuracy of military drones. WSJ tells how the corporation tries to balance between freedom of speech within itself and standard corporate rules, the abolition of which threatens complete chaos.
