Ayrat Nazipovich Biography

A billionaire from our city at the age of 21 earned his first million US dollars. Now he is 32, and his business costs a billion dollars. Typical American career. And completely atypical for Russia. In our country, most serious conditions are made in the raw material sector of the economy or during the division of state property. However, like any modern successful entrepreneur who “made himself”, in the biography of Ayrat Khairullin there are “obscure places”.

There are many legends about the business of the Khairullin brothers. What is true of this, and what is a lie? Ayrat Nazipovich, now the republican media talk a lot about the planned sale of the “Red East” for millions of dollars. What are these - just rumors or something more? Since the time I started engaged in entrepreneurship, I have not sold a single direction of my business.

And today they are all self -sufficient and effectively developing. My enterprises are now working 10 people. The total turnover for the year amounted to about 40 billion rubles. These numbers speak for themselves. Of course, it is always interesting how much you cost and how much you are ready to pay for your business. But if we talk about the sale of the Red Vostok brewing company, then there is no need to confuse the desire to buy and the desire to sell.

And who wants to buy you? Last year, an interesting event took place in the brewery of Russia: having bought Bravo for millions of dollars in St. Petersburg, one of the largest world players came to the country - the international company Hineken. She has the order of factories in the world. From this moment on our market, a strict revival began. And faxes, suggestions from everyone fell to me.

They began to show very serious interest since March last year. The top managers of Hineken also came ... I heard that you simply did not converge with them in price? Their hands sweat when they persuade, and the amount that they are ready to pay significantly exceeds all the proposed figures. But ... I am 32 years old. Well, let's say I’ll get a billion dollars today. What should I do with this money?

To invest in another direction is like changing an awl for soap. And just sitting and resting - I am not interested. Even when I am abroad, a maximum on the fifth day becomes dreary ... What are the trends in the Russian beer market? How is the struggle of the brands, and what is the niche "KV"? Our market has great growth potential. Therefore, world leaders of brewing with great money poured here.

And this led the officials to the idea that too much money is earned in brewing, and we should get more from this money. For the past three years, the Russian government has increased excise tax every year by 25 percent. And last year they raised ... Then we, the Russian Union of Pivovars, said that this is in principle impossible. As a result, we have, since August last year, a large regression.

Even such a leader as Baltika, for the fourth quarter of last year, had, in my opinion, minus 24 percent compared to the same period of the previous year. And now there have already been talk about raising an excise tax on beer by 50 percent ... Actually, an alcoholic lobby in Russia is so influential? About ten authoritative deputies are immigrants from the alcohol industry.

This cannot but play a role. In this case, a logical exit suggests itself - in contrast, organize a beer lobby in the Duma. To get there in the future elections ... Rumors that you made such a decision are already walking around Kazan. It is believed that the world holds on three whales - excitement, politics, love. And business for me is a form of excitement.

For myself, I concluded that it is not interesting for me to engage in politics, in any case, today. Nevertheless, you are a deputy of the State Council. And this is already politics ... Of course, if you live, you are already engaged in politics somewhere, and if you are engaged in business, and even large, all the more ... As you know, the whole last year you went under the banner of the struggle of the Federal Zvyagintsev’s regional council for the dissolution of the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan under the pretext of the inconsistency of the Constitution of the Russian Constitution, although the latter was adopted later.

And when the question arose that in the case of a self -growing state council in the fall, the elections to the State Council and the State Duma at the same time will take place in the fall, I decided that I would probably run for the Duma. But since the State Council defended his right to life, today, on the one hand, I do not see the need to go to the State Duma for myself, and on the other, the question remains open.

And he restrains me from the struggle for the mandate of the State Duma deputy only that I am interested in life here, in the republic. It is interesting to create a new one, to change the situation for the better, to clear the way to success. Many today are worried about the question: who is the main shareholder of the Red East holding today today? Or is it a commercial secret?

I never hid this and was not shy about this question. The most running beer had a profitability of 0.1 percent, and for the last three months the company worked at a loss. There were big debts to the budget.The first thing I had to do was literally on the second day to transfer 2 billion here. Three very serious conversations took place before I agreed to head the enterprise. And the main thing that prompted me to agree is a letter of shareholders of Krasny East OJSC, in which the board of directors expressed a desire to lead an enterprise that has been without management for three months.

Some shares were collected by simply announcing the purchase ... And in August, according to the decision of the general meeting of shareholders, the emission was made, and the large shareholder of the “Red East” was Edelweiss, which belongs to me with my brother. And somewhere in November, a partner of the deceased Aybetov came to me, who either inherited or bought his stock package from his family.

He offered me this package. The price was expensive, but I agreed. Thus, by the end of the year we had more than 60 percent of the shares, that is, a control package. And I, without fear, began to invest in the enterprise. By the way, how was the investigation in the Aybyatov case? Did you interest you? When I headed the enterprise, I was preoccupied with this issue, I met with my family, with the wife of the deceased Aybyat Magomedovich.

He brought her a bag with a decent amount of money ... Of course, I was interested in her what, how and why it happened, but she could not help, because shortly before Aybyatov’s death, they divorced. Nevertheless, she gave me certain keys to unraveling. In general, in this situation, the question was clear to me by the end of the summer of the year. The investigation, I think, too ...

But it’s not enough to know who killed, it is also important to have evidence. By the way, now they have stopped shooting in your industry? At one time it was ... In my opinion, three deaths were in the industry ... I am very glad that during the time that I am doing business I have not lost a single person close to me. I can talk about this with pride, but still I knock on a tree, because I'm afraid to rush.

You never know where you will fall. You, they say, have a powerful security service, you are constantly accompanied by a guard jeep ... What is accompanied by security is not an indicator of a powerful security service. Although it is really powerful with us. How else, if you have such a huge business? Today in 48 cities we have representative offices, we deliver products in 28 thousand outlets ...

And there the owner can change at any time. But if someone gives products for sale, you must be sure that tomorrow you will return your own ... They say that the success of your business is due to the fact that you are in some kind of family ties with the mayor of Kazan. When I started doing business, they said that I was a relative of the head of the administration of the Volga region - in this area I graduated from school, my business began there.

Then, when Edelweiss began to appear in different areas of Kazan, indeed, they began to say that I was a relative of the mayor. And about two years ago I learned the news: I am a relative of Shaimiev ... Everything goes to the fact that I will become Putin’s nephew. People tend to explain someone's success with such things. We generally have a very interesting country.

At the pike command, at someone's desire, the stove can go, on which Emelya is sitting. Or the goldfish waves its tail - here you have luck. No one will listen to how a person studied at school at first, then graduated with honors from the Institute's Economics and took up business. Who, for example, is interesting that my working day begins at 8 in the morning and ends at midnight?

It is much more fascinating to assume that I am a relative. Well, then another question: which of the Khairullins brothers is the main one? From the very beginning, our business arose as a family. We completely trust each other - this is very important. And we never tried to share money. With equal rights, we divided the powers. Now I am engaged in strategy, the development of new directions, and Ilshat - the organization of promotion of goods, marketing policies and building brands.
