Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

 Hanna is a good example.

 She had never heard of the person "Mikhail" before. It was not until Wang Ye took away the initiative of Damao's entry into the WTO that Hannah, as a government trade representative, heard of this name.

 After doing some research, I was shocked to find that this young man in his twenties seemed to be quite extraordinary.

His series of positions really made Hannah jealous...

 I have been in politics for so many years. I am almost 50 years old this year, and I have only just become a trade representative.

However, it has only been less than five years since Mikhail entered the political arena, and he has already become a pivotal member of the Moscow political arena!

Of course, this is because Hannah does not fully understand the Moscow political scene. If she really understood it, she would find that the power Wang Ye actually holds is much greater than the positions he apparently holds!

 That's why she tried to give Wang Ye a slap in the face when they first met. Unfortunately, she hit a snag and was directly kicked back by Wang Ye.

As Wang Ye said, although Da Mao is the seller and the European Union or Germany is the buyer, in theory, it is naturally the one who pays the initiative.

 But the problem is that you, the buyer, have no choice!

That depends on the relationship between supply and demand!

Except for the high-quality and low-price natural gas here in Damao, it is difficult to buy it elsewhere, unless you are willing to be taken advantage of and pay a high price to buy liquefied natural gas from other countries, transport it via professional ships, and bear high transportation costs. .

So no matter how you look at it, the opening of the Nord Stream Pipeline will do more good than harm to Germany and the EU, and there is no reason to refuse it.

 But it’s different here in Damao. If the European Union doesn’t buy it, then I can sell it to the Asian market!

Don’t forget that in recent years, the fastest growing global economy has been in Asia, especially in a large industrial country, which has almost endless demand for energy!

 The worst, the worst. If no one buys it, then I will mine less.

In any case, natural gas will not disappear underground. It is just a matter of early extraction and late extraction. However, the energy gap in the EU must be made up. People cannot save gas for cooking and heating and industrial gas.

If we really want to compare, Germany should be more anxious, so Wang Ye has the confidence to say such things.

He wants to make this Hannah understand that she should be the one begging him to sign the agreement, not the other way around...

 …

Hannah should have understood this in her heart, so when faced with Wang Ye's words, she did not bite the bullet and refute, she just nodded with a straight face, found a computer for herself and said: "These things , we will discuss it in detail during the formal negotiations the day after tomorrow. I wish you a pleasant meal."

 Speaking, he raised the champagne glass in his hand and clinked it with Wang Ye.

Of course, Wang Ye will not take advantage of the victory. Taking advantage verbally is of no use. Only what is finally implemented in the bilateral agreement will count!

　　also smiled, raised his glass and clinked it with Hannah.

 Obviously, at today’s welcome dinner, Wang Ye was the focus of the audience.

　　Not only because among the characters of the same level, he is obviously much younger than others!

It is also because everyone knows in their hearts that this meeting is mainly to solve the problem of Mao's accession to the WTO, so the leader of the Russian delegation is naturally the most important person.

 So, as soon as Hannah walked away, another person came over with a smile.

 He is from China, and he was the minister-elect of the Ministry of Commerce at the time!

This is the first time Wang Ye has met this person, but he had a deep impression of this person in his previous life...

How should I put it? He is a very charismatic person, tall, personable, and elegant in conversation. But whether it is a merit or demerit, Wang Ye can only say that he has not actually come into contact with this person and does not really understand this person, so he evaluates him. No.

 But one thing Wang Ye knew was that he had to keep a certain distance from this person, and never get too close to him, whether in public or in private.

 So, when Minister Hou shook hands with Wang Ye with a smile, Wang Ye just responded with a polite smile.

During the conversation between the two, Wang Ye only spoke politely. Even the invitation put forward by Minister Hou, which was to invite Wang Ye to visit the mainland after the WTO meeting, Wang Ye politely declined, saying that he My schedule has been full recently. I will definitely go to the Capital Ministry of Commerce to visit Minister Hou when I have the opportunity in the future, but not now...

Looking for an opportunity, Wang Ye changed the topic and said with a smile: "I have always heard that Xiangjiang is a very prosperous metropolis and is also known as the Pearl of the Orient. This is my first time here. I must go when I have time. Take a good trip and learn from the advanced experience here."

Minister Hou paused for a moment and immediately responded with a smile: "It is indeed quite prosperous here, but as far as I know, Moscow has developed at an astonishing speed in recent years under the guidance of Director Mikhail. Oh, and Crimea The peninsula is said to be called the Pearl of Eastern Europe. It complements the Xiangjiang River to the east and west, haha..."

His words were a subtle slap in the face of Wang Ye, but you can't say that he was wrong. Moscow and Crimea have changed so much in recent years, and they indeed contain a lot of Wang Ye's feelings. It can even be said that without him, these two places would not have changed so much!

Wang Ye had a shy smile on his face and said modestly: "Those are everyone's contributions and have little to do with me."

Minister Hou said seriously: "Director Mikhail, in addition to your public duties, you are also a very successful entrepreneur. The next words I am talking about are you as an entrepreneur. Everyone knows that you are the leader of China and Russia. The good relations between the two countries have done many things, such as the opening of oil and gas pipelines, Yukos' large oil refining bases and gas stations in the mainland, etc. I also welcome you to come to China at the right time. I am not boasting. The current situation in the mainland The mainland is full of gold and opportunities, very suitable for investment!”

As the Minister of Commerce, he is obviously very competent. At this time, he did not forget to seize the opportunity to attract investment.

 It is true that many people will ignore Wang Ye’s achievements in business because of his prominent official position. In fact, in terms of assets and wealth, there may not be a few people in the world who can surpass Wang Ye...

However, there are too few projects worthy of Wang Ye's personal investment. After all, with his current wealth and status, projects with an investment of less than 10 billion US dollars cannot catch his eye.

With an investment of hundreds of millions or billions of dollars, a few of his close subordinates can make the decision directly!

Wang Ye was also a little hesitant about Minister Hou's invitation. Of course, he understood better than anyone else that the mainland at this time was indeed, as Minister Hou said, full of opportunities and gold!

 So he also made some arrangements in advance, and successively asked Yukos Group and Kitty Eagle Group to set up branches in the capital to develop various businesses.

 He also established a private asset management company and invested all his private "small treasury" over the years. Now it is quite big. Joy City shopping malls have been established in several major first-tier cities.

That is not just a shopping mall, but a large commercial complex, including shopping malls, office buildings, high-end apartments, etc.

 In the future, it will be normal for any one of these commercial complexes to sell for tens of billions or even hundreds of billions!

If you don’t want to sell, you will get a lot of money just by collecting rent every year. It can be said that you are making money while lying down.

 Because their locations are quite well chosen, and the real estate industry in the Mainland has just started...

Oh, and those gas stations, they are all cash cows!

Even so, Wang Ye did not pay too much attention to these projects, because in the eyes of ordinary people, these profits may be incredibly huge amounts, but to Wang Ye, they are ordinary.

 His pursuit is no longer about money...

 …

 What Wang Ye is thinking now is, is it really necessary for him to increase his investment in the country?

If you do that, will it offend the interests of some forces? Will some people think that your hand is stretched too long...

These questions are far more important than how much money you can make!

On the other hand, he does believe that the country is still in urgent need of investment. Investing part of the money in that hot land will not only bring economic returns to himself, but also help the mainland lay out some high-tech industries in advance to avoid future situations. When there are big changes, people get stuck!

Thinking of this, Wang Ye smiled, nodded and said: "I may be more confident than you think about China's economic development! As a businessman, of course I hope to see generous returns on my investment, so please Don’t worry, Minister Hou, I will have several big projects in China in the future.”

Minister Hou's face showed joy. He did not expect Wang Ye to be so optimistic about the development of the mainland.

He nodded repeatedly and said: "That's good. Director Mikhail is welcome to visit at any time. I also hope that we can work hand in hand to make the economic exchanges between China and Russia closer."

 In fact, it can be seen from this that he does not know Wang Ye's "true identity"!

To be honest, who in the country knows Wang Ye’s true identity? Wang Ye himself doesn’t know. A few “elders” should know, and then there are very few people in the security department, as well as the ambassador of the Chinese Embassy in Russia. People should know, but they would never leak such top-secret information.

This Minister Hou should not be qualified to have access to such high-level secrets...

 …

 The dinner is over and the guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

 Everyone dispersed, because it was still early, so everyone had something to do.

The American delegation seemed relatively unorganized, and Gutierrez ignored his subordinates. He saw members of the old and American delegation walking out of the hotel in twos and threes, laughing and noisy as they walked.

　　Probably either going to a bar or going shopping.

 People in the European Union are relatively low-key. Most of them stay in hotels and rarely go out. After all, hotels also have bars, restaurants, gyms and swimming pools, so most of their needs can be met.

As for Damao, Wang Ye did not convene everyone for a meeting or anything. Anyway, what should be prepared has been prepared for a long time. There is no use in cramming now, so it is better to let everyone relax.

 Let Nova make the arrangements. Everyone is free to move around tonight, but they must return to the hotel to rest before twelve o'clock in the evening. There are formal negotiations tomorrow, so we can't delay the business.

Wang Ye himself went back to his room and changed his clothes first. He took off the suit and shoes he wore for the dinner and put on a set of casual clothes. He looked in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

 The way he is dressed now, he looks like a very ordinary young man walking on the street.

Of course, even if he walks outside in a suit and tie, he will not attract too much attention, as long as he is not surrounded by a large group of people...

 In Xiangjiang, there should be very few people who know "Mikhail".

 Walking out of the room, Nova and two specially selected security personnel were already waiting there. The security personnel would accompany Wang Ye for a walk, but Nova would not go because she still had a lot of work to do.

The reason why I say they were specially selected is because these two security guards both look very Asian.

There are many ethnic groups in Da Mao, not just blond and blue-eyed old people, but also black people and yellow people.

These two security guards are Tuva people. Of course they are also native Russians, not Chinese or Mongolian.

"Boss, the people from G4 have taken over with me. While you are in Xiangjiang, they will send several people to hide in the dark to protect you, so there is no need to worry about safety issues."

  Nova welcomes us to report.

G4 is the common name of the "Hong Kong VIP Protection Team". It is affiliated to the Xiangjiang Police Department. Its main responsibility is to perform dignitary protection tasks and ensure the safety, freedom and dignity of foreign visiting dignitaries while in Hong Kong!

 With Wang Ye’s level, he certainly belongs to the category of “visiting dignitary”.

If something happens to him here, many people will probably be left without food...

Wang Ye nodded, smiled and asked Nova: "Look at my outfit, do I look like an ordinary college student?"

Nova looked up and down and shook her head.

Wang Ye asked in surprise: "It doesn't look like it? Is there something wrong with it?"

Nova said with a smile: "No, he doesn't look like an ordinary college student, but like a big star. Boss, you are so handsome! Then the four kings of Hong Kong will feel inferior when they stand in front of you."

This **** girl, it turned out that she wanted to take the opportunity to flatter the boss.

Wang Ye shook his head helplessly, waved his hands and said, "Okay, go ahead and do your own thing. I'll just go outside for a walk. I won't be back too late."

In his "previous life", Wang Ye came to Xiangjiang frequently because he sometimes went on business trips abroad. It was more convenient to fly from here than in Pengcheng, and the prices of many things in Xiangjiang were much cheaper than in Pengcheng.

 So he has been here quite often and is quite familiar with this place.

 But in this life, this is Wang Ye's first time here, so he can steal half a day's leisure, so he can go out and stroll around.

 After all, the life of ordinary people is quite "luxury" for Wang Ye now... (End of this chapter)
