Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

   Chapter 800 Wang Ye's Ambition

   Wangye means to tell Grezlov, don't worry that our faction will challenge your faction's status.

   Don’t forget, the third faction currently only has forty seats, and if you add five more, it will only be forty-five!

   Your faction occupies three hundred seats...

   What you should be worried about is the second faction!

   They will definitely launch an attack next year to grab your faction seats.

   That is your worst enemy!

  Grezlov certainly understands this, but he was just a little surprised and unwilling to say that.

   So after hearing what Wang Ye said, he laughed and said cheerfully, "Congratulations to you, you have added another general! Oleg is a veteran congressman, with very deep qualifications and extensive connections."

   This is true.

  Wang Ye’s subordinates are already short of people, especially on the Duma side. Although several assistants are very capable, they are not even members of parliament, so they are not of much use.

   After Oleg comes over, Wang Ye will observe it for a while. If possible, the position of the party whip of the faction will be handed over to him!

   As for next year's election, Wang Ye's goal is to secure 60 seats in the Duma!

   All of the existing 45 seats must be preserved, and at least 15 qualified deputies will be poached from other factions and help them get Duma seats.

   Of course, if all goes well and you are lucky, there may be more seats!

   With at least 60 seats, the king's voice and status in the Duma will be further enhanced!

   Another point that needs to be explained is that after the merger of Oleg’s faction, his position as deputy speaker may not be able to be retained next year.

  Because a faction has two speakers (deputy speakers), this has no precedent in the Duma, and even the first faction has only one full speaker.

   But his position as the director of the committee, Wang Ye will definitely help him keep it!

  Compared to the position of deputy speaker, this director is the real power, even if his committee is not too important...

   In this way, the Wangye faction can really be called a strong army.

   A deputy speaker, two committee chairmen, several members, and sixty members!

   Even if it is Kremlin and Grezlov, when there is any major policy to be promoted, they must seek the opinion of the royal industry in advance.

  Otherwise, resistance is likely to arise in the Dumari.

   This is the real strength!

  …

  Sixty seats, plus two committees, might not be able to accomplish much by itself.

   But wanting to spoil your big thing, that's a lot easier.

   Don't forget, the first faction and the second faction have always been in conflict, and the second faction also holds 90 seats.

  If any policy plan proposed by the first faction is not conducive to the king's business, then he can join forces with the second faction and directly veto it in the Duma.

   The two factions together have at least 150 votes, and if they randomly gather some scattered votes, the support rate for the plan proposed by the first faction will not reach 70%, that is, it will not be passed.

   Instead of being like the current Duma, the first faction holds 300 seats on its own, and there is no need to consult other factions for approval.

   As long as it has the support of the vast majority of members within the faction, it is impossible to pass the Duma Assembly.

   Because their faction alone accounted for 75% of the seats!

   Therefore, it is very important whether we can get 60 seats next year, or whether the second and third factions can get 150 seats combined.

   Don’t look at the number of more seats than this year, but in fact, the impact on the Duma is already huge!

   I wonder if Grezlov and Kremlin noticed this.

   However, Wang Ye has not disclosed his "ambition" to the outside world. His recent actions seem to be just trying to keep the existing seat as much as possible.

   Even with Oleg's support, the number of seats has not yet reached the "red line"...

  …

  Wang Ye is quietly making layouts here, and at the same time, no one else is idle.

   Take the second faction as an example, Kolov has gathered the backbone of the faction and held a meeting.

   The topic of discussion is naturally next year's election.

   At the meeting, Kolov put forward an ambitious goal of getting 150 seats in the Duma next year!

   They now have 90 seats. The reason why they are confident that they will get 60 more seats next year is that the seats for the first faction will be greatly reduced next year!

  You must know that the first faction has been in power for a few years after being elected, and it has not fulfilled the slogans they put forward when they were elected.

   The current domestic economy is still sluggish, with little progress compared to a few years ago.

  This will lead to a considerable number of voters who will be disappointed with the first faction and vote for another faction in the next election.

   Then this "other faction", probably the biggest is the second faction...

   Of course, this is Kolov's judgment.

  Because the second faction has a profound background and strong enough strength, it needs money, money, and people!

   Even next year, they will attack the position of the Kremlin.

   Ordinarily speaking, there are 150 seats, which only account for a quarter of the total seats in the Duma. It is estimated that it will not become the largest faction.

   That is not qualified to hit the highest position!

   But on this issue, Kolov also has an analysis, that is, he believes that the "first faction", or the current first faction, should not get 150 seats next year!

   That is to say, as long as the Korov faction can get 150 seats in the Duma, it will most likely become the largest faction in the Duma next year.

   And Grezlov's faction will lose in next year's election.

   There may even be a faction split!

  Since several factions can be merged into one faction, it is possible to re-split into several factions...

   In addition, Kolov also predicted the third faction of the royal industry.

   He believes that the third faction will most likely be the third faction next year, and the number of seats will increase to about fifty.

   To be honest, although Kolov didn’t have much dealings with Wang Ye, he did not despise the young man Wang Ye, but gave him a relatively high evaluation.

   Even after winning the election next year, Kolov still intends to win over Wang Ye...

   As for Kovchenko's faction, Kolov is not very optimistic.

   Not to mention competing for the position of the Kremlin, even if the Duma seats, Kolov thinks that if Kovchenko and the others can get ten seats, it is already a big victory!

  The uncle and nephew Mikhail and Kovchenko are both outstanding, but at present, whether it is business or politics, the uncle has been overshadowed by the nephew, it is not even a little bit...

   This is not only Kolov's evaluation, but also the evaluation of most of the high-level people in Russian politics!
