Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

After communicating with Shao Yigu, Korokoli and Meddev in series, Wang Ye put the matter aside for the time being.

 Because he has done all the work that needs to be done and arranged all the things that need to be arranged. As for the result...

Wang Ye thinks there should be no problem.

After all, I asked Meddev to convey his attitude to the Kremlin, that is, he would support Korokoli. Perhaps his adoptive father would be a little unhappy at first, thinking that his hand was stretched too long.

 But when he calms down, he will understand and support his own ideas.

If you really can’t understand it, that’s okay. The worst thing you can do is talk to him face to face...

 …

In the past two days, Wang Ye has begun to promote the adoption of the WTO Agreement in the Duma. This is considered the last hurdle. As long as it can be voted and passed at the Duma Congress, it means Mao Zedong's formal accession to the WTO!

 Only when various policies begin to be implemented can foreign investment enter Russia with confidence.

In communicating with various factions and representatives of various industries in the Duma, Wang Ye did encounter a lot of resistance, especially in those industries that were relatively open to the outside world. This was something Wang Ye had long been mentally prepared for.

Faced with the doubts of industry representatives, Wang Ye moved with emotion and reason, and carefully explained why he agreed to open these industries to foreign investment. He also made everyone understand that although he promised to liberalize many industries, he did not It does not mean that we will directly face competition from foreign investors, because liberalization is step-by-step and has a time period. It is gradual and not a one-step process.

 So, for a long period of time, we still have room to improve our own strength, and the government will also come up with concrete policies to help everyone...

 As the saying goes, it is more difficult to touch interests than to touch souls. Wang Ye finally understands this deeply.

The WTO accession agreement he led in negotiating did touch the interests of many industries, so even though he had such great influence in the Duma, it was still very difficult to advance.

This matter cannot be forced, so I can only be patient and explain and communicate one by one.

Fortunately, among the upper echelons of the Duma, people like Gryzlov and Zhirinov were very supportive of Wang Ye. They also personally came forward to help Wang Ye do his work, which also reduced Wang Ye's work a lot. pressure.

　　If neither of them agrees, then Wang Ye will not have the confidence to push this matter forward.

 After working hard for more than half a month, Wang Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief when he finally finished most of the work of the members and was more confident about the voting.

 …

"It's really difficult to do something. I just don't understand it. Everyone knows that joining the WTO is a good thing and is unstoppable. It's just a matter of sooner or later. But there are people who want to cause trouble and delay joining the WTO. What about time…”

Wang Ye sighed helplessly. Opposite him sat the two speakers, Gryzlov and Zhirinov.

This is Wang Ye's way of thanking the two for helping him do his work as a member of parliament, and invited them to dinner and chat by the way.

 Speaking of which, it has been a long time since the three of them sat down to eat and chat together in private.

 The main reason is that Wang Ye is too busy, not that the three of them are not on good terms. To be honest, their relationship should be the best and the atmosphere in Duman is the most harmonious in recent times.

After all, Gryzlov has looked away and has made plans to retire after this term. He will not fight for power or gain. Instead, as the chairman of the board, he will willingly "assist" Wang Ye. Is this relationship possible? It's strange that it's good.

As for Zhirinov, let alone that. He was considered Wang Ye’s old leader, and he had taken good care of Wang Ye in the past.

Later, he was able to make a comeback after being forced to retire, which was entirely dependent on the energy of Wang Ye's uncle Hovchenko. Now that Hovchenko is no longer interested in politics, he left this "political legacy" to Wang Ye, so seriously speaking, Rili The faction led by Nove is the "branch" of Wang Ye's faction.

 To put it simply, the two of them are originally a team!

 After hearing Wang Ye’s complaint, Gryzlov and Zhirinov looked at each other and smiled. Both of them could understand Wang Ye’s mood.

 Perhaps when they were young and first entered the political arena, they were as enthusiastic as Wang Ye and wanted to do something.

However, after hitting the wall many times, I learned what it means to be patient and what it means to give in, and then my enthusiasm slowly cooled down.

  In comparison, Wang Ye is much luckier than the two of them!

Although it was difficult to handle, Wang Ye still managed to get it done because he had enough power, influence and prestige. At most, those congressmen just wanted to bargain and ask for more preferential policies, not real Dare to stop Wang Ye from entering the world.

In addition, these two old guys are helping Wang Ye...

Grezlov had a cigarette in his mouth, puffing away smoke and laughing: "It took less than a month to accomplish such a big thing. I don't know how many people are marveling at your influence." As for work efficiency, are you still not satisfied with this?"

Zhirinov picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and added: "Yes, I have worked in the Duma for so many years, but I have never seen anyone advance so quickly on such a big matter. You kid? Just have fun. To be honest, you are in charge of this matter. If it were anyone else, even me or Gryzlov, it would probably be difficult to get it done if it took half a year or even a year."

Wang Ye smiled bitterly and shook his head. It was hard to complain anymore, otherwise he would look a bit pretentious...

He picked up the bottle of Vodka, poured a full glass for each of them, and then poured a little for himself, which could only cover the bottom of the glass. He picked up the glass and pretended to be heroic: "Let's not talk about this trouble. , drink, drink, drink, I won’t go home until I’m drunk today!”

Although he was already "cheating" and only poured a little for himself and a large glass for Gryzlov and Zhirinov every time he poured wine, Wang Ye still failed to make it to the end. He was still the first. A "fallen"...

Grazlov still called Nova and Bakova, and the two girls "carried" Wang Ye back with great difficulty.

 …

 On October 20, the Duma held a special meeting to vote on Russia's accession to the WTO.

 The voting results came out. 450 Duma deputies were supposed to be present, but 448 actually showed up. Only two were absent for some reason.

 There were 448 valid votes, including 402 votes in favor, 28 votes against, and 18 abstentions. Russia’s accession to the WTO was officially approved!

 After the meeting, in an interview with a TV reporter, Wang Ye said meaningfully: "Joining the WTO is only the first step for our economy to take off! Everyone must have confidence in the future of the country, let us wait and see!"

 This is not Wang Ye’s big talk, it is the fact.

Under his management, Russia's economy has indeed shown a trend of taking off. Coupled with the soaring international energy prices in recent years, Damao's oil and natural gas have been sold at a great price, and he has made a lot of money. .

 The domestic population is small, so just by selling energy, the per capita GDP has begun to soar. During the WTO accession negotiations, representatives from the United States and the European Union also strongly demanded that Russia be classified as an "economically developed country" because according to the economic data in 2005, Russia was already close to the standards of a developed country.

 But this “unreasonable request” was resolutely rejected by Wang Ye. He insisted that Russia was a “developing country” with a very low per capita income, completely unable to meet the requirements of developed countries.

 In the end, the business representatives of Laos, the United States and the European Union made concessions, and China still had the status of a "developing country" when it joined the WTO...

 …

The matter of joining the WTO has come to an end, and Wang Ye can temporarily relax and be a little less busy.

But immediately afterwards, personnel adjustments in several powerful institutions followed.

The Kremlin spokesperson officially announced that Shao Yigu will be transferred to the position of Minister of Defense and his military rank will be promoted to general!

 Yevrogen was transferred to the post of Minister of Internal Affairs.

 Colokoli was transferred to the post of director of the Security Bureau.

 …

 A series of personnel changes have attracted the attention of the entire Moscow political arena, and everyone's attention has been attracted.

Many people are secretly speculating on the purpose of the Kremlin suddenly making such a big move at this time.

You know, in another three years, the Kremlin's second term will end. According to the constitution, no matter how high his support rate is, he must "abdicate and make way for others." That means that the next Kremlin master will It's a newcomer.

Could it be said that in the past three years, the Kremlin will cause any major events?

In addition, except for Shao Yigu's promotion to the Minister of Defense, which was already expected by everyone, after all, in the past few years, Shao Yigu has been holding the position of Security Director, but has been presiding over military reforms. This is obviously to prepare for his appointment as Minister of Defense. bedding.

 But several other personnel changes were beyond everyone’s expectations.

Like Yevrogen, many people have never heard of this guy before, so why did he suddenly appear and hold such an important position as Minister of the Interior?

Like Korokoli, aren't they saying that this guy is about to lose power? He has been marginalized within the Shilavik Group. How come he was suddenly transferred to a core department like the Security Bureau as the chief officer?

　　No matter how the following people discuss or think that this transfer is full of mystery, everyone at the real upper level, especially the core level, knows it well.

The result of this personnel adjustment is the result of coordination and communication between the Kremlin, the government and the Duma. Everyone has made concessions and gained something.

 Through this adjustment, it basically shows that the balance of power at the top level has been formed.

  It is no longer the situation before where the Kremlin can act arbitrarily.

 The Duma's actual influence has increased significantly, and the government is slowly able to say something.

Of course, it may just be because Wang Ye is leading the Duma, and Meddev is in charge of the government...

 In addition, in this personnel adjustment, everyone generally believes that the biggest winner is Meddev!

Because his faction has gained control of the important agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and not long after Meddev took office as prime minister, he has already begun to have a lot of voice and influence, even the Kremlin and the Duma. You have to sell him some face.

 Being able to achieve this step is enough to show Meddev’s ability and political potential...

So, three years later, will Meddev also have the opportunity to work hard at that position in the Kremlin Palace?

Many people suddenly discovered that, judging from the current situation, in the general election three years later, Meddev suddenly became the most powerful competitor, not even one!

Of course, this premise is that Mikhail of the Duma does not participate in the election...

 …

Wang Ye doesn't care about the comments and speculations from the outside world. Anyway, his goal has been achieved.

Colokoli was also successfully transferred to the Security Bureau and was not marginalized. Through his help this time, Korokoli's relationship with him became closer.

Flamir also successfully assumed the position of First Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, coupled with the personal connections he had built up through his years of work in the police system, and the Moscow Police Department that he still controlled, although he was not a full minister, But the actual influence of a minister who came by air in the Ministry of Internal Affairs may not be as much as that of the first deputy minister, Flamir!

 The Ministry of Internal Affairs has Flamir, the Security Bureau has Korokoli, and the Ministry of Defense has Shao Yigu!

Although the latter two cannot be regarded as Wang Ye's subordinates, let alone his true confidants, they are personal friends and everyone's interests are consistent.

It means that among the four powerful institutions, Wang Ye has quietly influenced three!

 At the critical moment, this is his trump card for a comeback...

 …

Moscow in November has entered the bitter cold, the sky is gray and there are heavy snowflakes flying in the sky.

Despite the harsh weather conditions, Wang Ye still went to work as usual. His motorcade set off at around nine o'clock in the morning. Today, he suddenly changed his itinerary on a whim and went to the central CBD area of ​​Moscow for a field trip.

 This CBD area is also one of the major projects promoted by Wang Ye.

Basically, the energy giants in Mauritius have donated generously and each "contracted" one or even multiple skyscrapers.

 After completion, it will become one of Moscow’s new landmarks and the most beautiful urban landscape.

Wang Ye is sitting in the back row of a Land Rover in the middle of the convoy, and his assistant Nova is sitting next to him. She is holding a folder and reporting the progress of CBD construction to Wang Ye.

The convoy roared past the streets. The entire convoy was composed of black Range Rovers, especially the one Wang Ye was riding in, which had been specially modified to withstand ordinary armed attacks.

In fact, Wang Ye rarely makes enemies now. At his level, he would not have any undying hatred with others under normal circumstances. In the political arena, there are more intrigues and intrigues. receive.

 So his personal safety can still be guaranteed.

Especially since Moscow’s police system and security bureau are all on its own, if anything happens against Wang Ye, he will be able to receive the news in advance.

 Besides, with his status, if something goes wrong, it will be a big deal!

 No matter who you are, before you want to touch him, you must consider whether you can bear the consequences... (End of this chapter)
