Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Who benefits and who is suspicious...

Looking at the whole thing, who benefits the most?

There is no doubt that it must be Wangye!

Wang Ye himself is still thinking about things here. Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, Wang Ye is the most "suspected" about this matter!

So, as Hovchenko said, does it make sense to ask questions and find out why Zhirinov retired?

not at all!

What he has to do now is to seize the opportunity, do what he should do, and don't let Zhirinov's "sacrifice" become meaningless.

In fact, Wang Ye did a good job. Although he did not do it deliberately, his subconscious actions, such as making a deal with Gryzlov, have already yielded considerable gains.

I guess this is also something that makes people “behind the scenes” feel gratified.

…………

Nodding, Wang Ye said sincerely: "I understand, so I went to make a small deal with Gryzlov..."

He told Hovchenko the contents of his transaction with Gryzlov.

After hearing this, Hovchenko laughed heartily.

"Haha, Misha, you are really born to play politics, you can come up with all kinds of ideas...

Yes, yes, in this way, even if Zhirinov retires, the influence of your third faction will not decrease under your leadership, but will become more and more powerful.

When the next Duma general election comes, maybe we can compete with the second faction.

It’s hard to say who will be the second faction and who will be the third faction in the future! "

Wang Ye showed his trademark shy smile and said modestly: "I don't dare to think about that yet. I just hope that the third faction can maintain the current situation under my leadership and I will be satisfied. As for development and growth, then Just take it one step at a time, there’s no rush.”

Indeed, in the Duma, the first faction is the dominant one, accounting for the majority of seats.

Although the second faction is not as good as the first faction, it is about twice as strong as the third faction.

This strength is naturally measured by the number of seats.

If you really want the third faction to replace the second faction, that means that in the next Duma election, the number of seats for the third faction will exceed that of the second faction!

This difficulty is not ordinary.

But as Hovchenko said, it is not impossible...

But you can think about this kind of thing and you can do it, but it’s best not to publicize it in a big way...

…………

Regarding Zhirinov, Hovchenko did not ask much.

However, after learning that Wang Ye was going to take over as director of the Economic Committee, he chatted with Wang Ye about economic issues.

"I have been paying attention to your acquisition of the three major automobile brands. I heard that your Russian Automobile Group has selected a site in Moscow to build a large-scale vehicle factory. It seems that it is really planning to make a big move in the automobile industry. Let’s do it?” he asked curiously.

Wang Ye nodded and said:

“Of course, this was one of the promises I made to the voters when I ran for the Duma.

Only by developing this kind of industry can we create more jobs and drive the development of upstream and downstream industries.

The economic development of a country is not that simple, nor can it be developed solely by relying on energy and finance.

After all, our country has such a large population, we cannot compare it with small countries in the Middle East..."

That's what he said, but in fact Wang Ye understood it better than anyone else.

The general environment here in Maozi is like that. Relying on him alone to boost the national economy is simply a fantasy!

That is impossible!

The reason why he is willing to invest huge sums of money in the automobile industry and do these things is simply because doing so will not only accumulate substantial political "capital" for Wang Ye, but it can also really make money and expand his influence!

Think about it, if Wang Ye wants to compete for the position of Speaker of the Duma during the Duma general election in a few years.

To be honest, an old fox like Grezlov may not be qualified to compete with Wang Ye!

No matter who you are, you must avoid its sharp edges!

After listening to Wang Ye's words, Hovchenko had to sigh with emotion, what a terrible young man!

For a moment, he wanted to give up his ideals.

Because even if he does it himself, it seems he can't do it better than Wang Ye.

In this case, it is better not to come forward, but to support Wang Ye silently behind the scenes, and let him help him realize his ideal...

But after thinking about it more carefully, Hovchenko reluctantly gave up the idea.

Because he knows Wang Ye's "true" identity best.

Being a member of parliament, being a speaker, maybe these things don't matter.

After all, even the Speaker of the Duma is a position with greater meaning than reality. But when you really want to hit "that" position, every shortcoming and every loophole you have will be magnified countless times!

And Wang Ye's true identity has become a fatal loophole...

His competitors will definitely seize this loophole and make a big fuss.

By then, Wang Ye will not only be unable to compete with others, but may also end up in ruins!

But I have no worries about this!

Therefore, Wang Ye's "ceiling" may be the Duma Speaker or even the Deputy Speaker.

In other words, after this incident, Wang Ye, who served as deputy speaker of the Duma and director of the Economic Committee, has hit an invisible ceiling in the political arena.

If you want to go up in the future, it will be harder than reaching the sky!

"Hey, what a pity..."

Hovchenko finally sighed helplessly.

As for what it was a pity for, he didn't say, and Wang Ye didn't ask.

"Has the construction of that pipeline started? Is it going well?"

After talking about the Duma matter, Wang Ye turned the topic to oil and gas pipelines. After all, this is also a major event, and it is something Wang Ye strongly promotes.

Hovchenko nodded and said with a relaxed expression: "Well, the construction has already started. If there are no accidents, it will take at most three years, or even less, to complete the construction of the original Antenna-Dalian line. The other section of the pipeline will take one to two years." Years."

The entire project takes five years to complete. This is indeed a major project of the century!

The overall construction cost is as high as more than 20 billion US dollars...

Of course, five billion US dollars of it were "borrowed" by Wang Ye to purchase car brands.

Wang Ye would not refuse to repay the money, and five years would be enough for him to repay the debt.

…………

On New Year's Day in 2003, Wang Ye was busy and had no holiday at all.

Even several assistants worked overtime with him for several days.

Including Rosiana, no one complained, because everyone understood that the next Duma meeting was crucial to Wang Ye.

Because at this meeting, it will be decided whether Wang Ye can successfully take over the position of deputy speaker of the Duma and director of the Economic Committee!
