Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

   Chapter 547 Snap the hat when you come up

   It is finally the day of the monthly Duma session.

   On this day, the downstairs of the Duma Building, which was not very lively in the past, became full of traffic and very lively.

  Many deputies do not usually work in the Duma Building, that is, they only come to the meeting every month.

   There are more than 400 Duma members, plus some government officials who participated in the audition. Today, hundreds of people will come to the meeting.

   As for the topics in today's meeting, of course, everyone has been notified in advance.

  The most important issue is naturally to make a final decision on the "oil and gas pipeline dispute" that has been making a lot of noise recently!

   Just today, all Duma deputies will vote on which line they support.

   Originally, this kind of thing would not be voted on in the Duma under normal circumstances, because it is just a commercial activity, and the Ministry of Energy can make a decision.

   But this time, the main reason is that the companies involved are of great background, and even the Ministry of Energy does not dare to make a decision directly.

   That's why it was submitted to the parliament for discussion and voting.

   The Duma, how should I put it, has little power most of the time.

   But sometimes, it is extremely important!

   After all, this is also the highest authority of the state.

   Even in name...

   Take this incident as an example, the decision made by the Ministry of Energy or any other department may not be convincing.

   But as long as the result of the Duma's vote, whether you accept it or not, it must be accepted.

   And there is no possibility of a comeback!

  …………

"I don't understand, what is there to fight for a broken pipeline, and I feel that the Yukos Group is too domineering this time. I don't want to share any benefits, even the state-owned pipeline group is not allowed to participate. Now it's good. Now, it was directly dealt with by the Ministry of Energy, and maybe the super contract that was just signed will be voided.”

"Haha, the interests involved in this kind of thing are too huge. We outsiders don't know the inside story, so it's not easy to evaluate. But if I vote, I should support the new plan of the Ministry of Energy, which is more beneficial to the country. Let's be Members of parliament must naturally put their national interests first.”

   "I still support Yukos' old plan, nothing else, but for Mikhail's face. After all, everyone is a faction. If we don't support him, it will be too chilling."

   "Well, you don't have to think too much, you must support Mikhail. But we are not sure, we are not the same faction..."

  Many members walked into the building together, discussing today's meeting.

   Obviously, the most important topic of today's meeting is the oil and gas pipeline.

   Everyone has their own ideas, but in general, there are not many people who support Wang Ye, and the situation is not very fast.

  The meeting starts at 9:00 sharp and will last until 12:00 noon.

   If all topics have not been discussed by then, the time will be delayed.

  Wang Ye actually arrived, but he went directly to his office, and when it was almost time for the meeting, he got up and came to the conference hall.

  The hall was already crowded with people, and people were almost there.

   Of course, there are still some members who have immigrated abroad. If they can't come back to attend the meeting, there is no way to do it...

   Watching Mikhail in a neat suit and high spirits walking along the aisle all the way to the front row, members of Congress who knew him stood up to greet him.

   "Good morning, Commissioner Mikhail."

   "Commissioner Mikhail, I support you, I will definitely vote for you later!"

   "Come on, Mikhail, you can definitely win."  …

   There was a commotion in the hall, and everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Ye, who had just entered.

  Wang Ye smiled and nodded to everyone, without stopping, he went straight to his seat in the first row and sat down.

   Several seats on the rostrum are still vacant, and several speakers and vice-speakers obviously haven't arrived yet.

  Important people always have to appear last...

  …………

   At exactly nine o'clock, all the members who could come were present, and the meeting started on time.

  Grezlov presided over the meeting. First, he talked about the routine work of the Duma, which was neither painful nor itchy, and no one paid attention.

   But this is a normal meeting process, it is time to go.

   After the "foreplay", let's get to the point immediately.

  Grezlov said sternly: "There will be a vote below. Everyone should have heard of the recent oil and gas pipeline dispute, but for the specific details, we will ask the representatives of the Ministry of Energy to tell you about it..."

   The representative sent by the Ministry of Energy is a Deputy Minister.

   He walked up to the podium, picked up the microphone, and explained two different pipeline lines in detail to all the members present.

   Where is the difference, where is the route, and what group supports which route.

  Many members of Congress have only heard of this incident, but they do not know the inside story. Now, through the remarks of the representatives of the Ministry of Energy, everyone can be considered to have a clear understanding.

   Of course, the representative of the Department of Energy is biased in the process of speaking.

   He vigorously preached the benefits of the "Anna Line" and emphasized the risks of the "Anda Line".

  Because their Ministry of Energy originally supported the Anna line.

   They are both "players" and "referees", which is why Yukos Group has so much trouble.

   But after Wang Ye came forward, the situation changed.

   At least the "referee" has been transferred to the Duma Council. Although the situation does not seem to have improved, at least it is not completely out of the question.

  "To sum up, our DOE recommendation is to choose the Anna Line!

  Because this route is the most beneficial to our country.

   Not only has economic benefits, but also improves the international environment of our country and reaps geopolitical benefits!

  Ah, it is a pity that the two companies, Yukos Group and Gazprom, only care about their petty profits and ignore the great interests of the country.

  We can't convince them, we can only submit it to the Duma, I hope all members of the parliament can cast your sacred votes from the interests of the country..."

   The representative of the Ministry of Energy did not forget to step on Yukos and Gazprom in his speech, which is obviously emotional.

  Many members of the audience turned their attention to Wang Ye, and none of them were stupid, of course they understood what was going on.

   It seems that Commissioner Mikhail and the Ministry of Energy had a falling out!

   Now they don't even give face directly, they just say that they don't care about national interests, they only care about their own interests!

   This is a bit heavy...

   Of course, here in the Duma, it is not uncommon to point to the nose and curse.

   Don’t talk about quarrels, there are occasional members fighting on the spot!

   Next, it's up to Wang Ye to deal with it. If it doesn't work out, it will be really difficult for him to end.

   Being put on such a "big hat" by the opposite side, it will be difficult for him to get along in the Duma in the future!
