Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

The Kremlin, this is the center of political power in Russia!

After Gurbrev hung up the phone, he stood up and walked out of the office to a large office across the corridor.

This is where the president has his office.

Nodding to the guard at the door, he knocked on the door and walked in.

Gorbrev's position is not high, and he does not have much power on the surface, but his status is too special.

He is definitely the president’s number one confidant and is deeply trusted by the president...

Perhaps, Gorbrev is the only person in Russia who can enter the presidential office at any time without making an appointment.

In the extremely spacious office, the decoration is not luxurious, and the floor is just an ordinary plain wool carpet. The various furniture materials are excellent, but the styles look simple and elegant.

An L-shaped mahogany desk, and the walls are also decorated with mahogany in the same color.

The only thing that makes this office unique is the two large national flags standing behind the desk and the huge golden double-headed eagle national emblem on the wall!

The entire office suddenly became solemn.

Hearing the footsteps of Gorbrev, the president, who was immersed in his work, raised his head.

He was still very young when he first came to power, and his early forties is when a man is in the prime of life.

"The young man from the Hovchenko family called me and invited me to have dinner with him in the evening. He said he wanted to ask me for advice on some business issues." Gorbrev said with a smile.

The president couldn't remember for a moment who the "young man" Gebrev was talking about. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Is it the Chinese young man named Mikhail?"

If Wang Ye heard this, it would probably scare him to the point of breaking out in cold sweat on his back...

But it's normal. No matter how real the new identity Hovchenko gave him and how rigorous the procedures were, there was no way he could hide it from people like Gablev.

It would be okay if they didn't pay special attention to Wang Ye. If they paid a little attention, they probably wouldn't be able to hide any secrets from Wang Ye!

"Yes, that's him. Kovchenko trusted him very much. Not only did he give him 20% of the shares of the New Sun Market, he also gave him the Kitty Eagle Hotel that Maylov compensated. For those who don't know, I guess He really thought Mikhail was his nephew." Gebrev said with a smile.

"What is Kovchenko doing recently? He seems to be keeping a low profile." the president asked again.

"He is pushing Yukos Group to acquire TNK Petroleum Company owned by Abramovich. Once the merger is successful, Yukos's oil production will account for 70 to 80% of the country's total production." Gurbrev replied.

The president frowned and patted the table gently, "Too greedy! These oligarchs are really lawless! They promised me at the beginning that they would abide by the law, do business well, and would not participate in politics. But look, before there were Berezov and Gusinsky, they felt that it was not enough to monopolize energy bank finance, and they also bought media everywhere. Isn’t this clear that they want to control the country’s public opinion! Now there is Kovchenko, who Do you want to monopolize the country's oil industry by yourself? What's more, he is related to many British and American capitals."

"Sometimes I don't understand what they think. They already have Berezov and Gusinsky as role models. Why are they still so bold? Do you really think that the country dare not touch them?" Gebrev also said. sighed.

"Humph, they must be emboldened! They think they are colluding with certain forces. I have just come to power and my foundation is not stable. If they disturb them, it will affect the country's international image. But it is indeed tricky. I want to move Berezov ahead. When talking to Gusinsky, some overseas media have criticized us, and it has also seriously affected the confidence of foreign investors in investing in Russia." The president shook his head and said helplessly.

Gazev obviously had the same worries, so he took the opportunity to suggest: "When we deal with lawless oligarchs in the future, we'd better use gentler methods. We must ensure that the procedures are legal and compliant, and not cause too much public reaction." .”

With the power held by the Kremlin, it can naturally find any reason to bring oligarchs like Kovchenko to court.

But he didn't do that, because sitting in his position, he couldn't be willful and had many issues to consider.

He didn't want to use "force" unless it was absolutely necessary.

You know, at this time, Russia was still bent on moving closer to "certain developed countries" and striving to integrate into a "civilized society."

If you, the president, arrest and shoot the rich and powerful entrepreneurs at every turn, how will the "civilized people" in the West view you...

………

The topic returned to Wang Ye again, and the president asked with great interest: "Why are you so interested in this young man? Do you think he can influence Kovchenko?"

The last time Godbrev met Hovchenko and Wang Ye at Abramovich's manor, he reported the situation when he came back, and even conducted a detailed background check on Wang Ye.

The final investigation result also surprised Gurbrev, because Hovchenko's so-called "nephew" turned out to be a foreign student!

And I’ve only been in Moscow for a few months...

Gebrev nodded and said: "Yes, according to my judgment, Hovchenko wants to train Mikhail to be his right-hand man, or even his successor!

After all, he has only been around for a few years, has a relatively shallow foundation, and does not have many trustworthy right-hand men around him.

And this Mikhail, because he saved Hovchenko's life, coupled with his identity issues, and his own demonstrated business talent, became Hovchenko's best choice!

Perhaps, the reason why Hovchenko chose him was because he was easy to control.

After all, everything about Mikhail, including his identity, was given by Hovchenko.

Then once you want to take it back, it’s very simple…”

This is Gorbrev’s judgment on the relationship between Hovchenko and Wang Ye!

"Do you think this Mikhail will enter the core level of Yukos Group?" the president asked.

Gorbrev nodded without hesitation: "It's very possible! In my opinion, Hovchenko is still training and testing Mikhail, because we all know that Hovchenko has the idea of ​​​​developing into politics. Then when the time comes He must have a business successor. Mikhail may be this successor!"

The president became interested. After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Then you continue to keep in contact with him and see if there is any use value in the future. Make him understand that the things Hovchenko gave him are all false and they are It can be taken back at any time! But what we can give him is real, and there will be no future troubles!"

Gebrev expressed his understanding, turned around and walked out of the president's office, preparing to go to the Turandot restaurant to meet Wang Ye.
