Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

After bidding farewell to Tonya who was reluctant to leave, Wang Ye returned to Irkutsk and met with Governor Valsili. He had some things to discuss with him.

As soon as we met, Valsili asked with a smile on his face: "Speaker, are you satisfied with your two-day vacation? It's just that the conditions are too simple. Next time you go to Lake Baikal, I will prepare it a few days in advance. I guarantee it will be better than this." Well arranged!”

In fact, he has made very detailed arrangements. Even if it is on the ice of Lake Baikal in the wilderness, there are large tents, generators, guaranteed RVs, professional dining trucks, and even heating. The conditions are no worse than those of ordinary hotels. Already...

It’s hard to imagine better conditions. Do we really want to build a holiday villa on the lake?

Wang Ye smiled and nodded, expressing satisfaction.

Valsili looked at Wang Ye and asked tentatively: "Does that ballet girl need any arrangements from me..."

Obviously, he also knew about Dongnia accompanying Wang Ye on vacation, and he should have guessed what happened between the two.

What he wants now is to know how Wang Ye plans to arrange that girl.

Tonya didn't know much about Wang Ye's situation, but Valsili knew it very well. Of course he knew that Wang Ye was engaged, and his fiancée was Rosiana, a rising star who had suddenly risen to prominence in Moscow's political arena!

In terms of family background, background, and personal abilities, Rosiana will definitely crush Tonya in all aspects.

Under such circumstances, if it were Valsili who was Wang Ye, he would never take Tonya back to Moscow for fear of upsetting his fiancée.

Therefore, the best way to arrange it is to keep Tonya here and let her accompany her for a few days every year when she goes on vacation.

Although this arrangement is too "cruel" for Tonya, there is no other way. If you want to gain something, you must give something.

As long as Mikhail mentions it casually, or even hints at it, he will definitely arrange a leisurely and high-paying job for Tonya, so that she can have food and clothing for the rest of her life!

If you want to develop in the entertainment industry, there is no problem. I will ask the relevant departments in the state to find some good opportunities for Dongnia.

…………

Wang Ye was not surprised why Valsili knew about himself and Tonya.

In fact, he had already guessed that the reason why he arranged the "Swan Lake" ballet and selected Tonya as the heroine was all to suit his own preferences!

I have to say that Valsili is really "meticulous" in his work!

He is really impeccable in catering to the preferences of his superiors, because he can even accurately guess his own taste in girls, which is not something ordinary people can do...

Wang Ye actually didn't hate this kind of subordinate, because Valsili not only catered to his boss, he also did a good job at his job.

The pipeline opening ceremony and the preparations for welcoming the Chinese delegation were well done.

Strong work ability, thoughtful, and able to please and cater to the boss's preferences...

Probably no leader would hate such a subordinate!

So he didn't criticize this matter, and everyone just tacitly understood it.

Now that he heard that Valsili wanted to help him with the "aftercare" work, Wang Ye shook his head and said with a smile: "No need, Tonya will soon transfer to Moscow, where it will be more conducive to the development of her dance career. .”

Valsili was a little stunned. He really didn't expect that Wang Ye would take someone away so "unabashedly". Isn't he worried that his fiancée Rosiana would find out...

But this issue is not something you need to consider.

Since Speaker Mikhail made such a decision, it must have been carefully considered, but his preference for the little girl was too obvious.

But this also shows that I have indeed chosen the right person!

Valsili hurriedly smiled and said: "Of course the Speaker's arrangement is the best. If Tonya is noticed and trained by the Speaker, she will definitely become a big star in the future."

Wang Ye didn't discuss this matter much. He saw that Valsili had something serious to discuss, and he didn't come to discuss Dongya's future development with him.

He changed the subject and said: "I have talked with the Chinese delegation and we will cooperate in the development of commercial large aircraft projects in the future, and don't you have a large aircraft production base here, so I considered putting this project with you. "

Valsili could hardly contain the ecstasy in his heart. Will his "investment" be rewarded so soon?

Commercial large aircraft project, once this thing is successfully put into production, the annual output value will be tens of billions of dollars, or even hundreds of billions of dollars!

And what is Irkutsk’s full-year GDP this year?

Just over 20 billion US dollars...

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as this large commercial aircraft project is successfully put into production, the output value created in the future will be higher than that of the entire Irkutsk region!

This is the charm of large-scale industrial projects...

He said a little incoherently: "Is this...is this true? Speaker, don't worry, I will definitely concentrate the efforts of the whole state and make every effort to ensure the smooth implementation of this project. Whether it is the need to expand the factory or train skilled workers, We will cooperate unconditionally without any discounts!"

Indeed, the future economic development of Irkutsk Region may depend on this large commercial aircraft project, and of course he will attach great importance to it.

Wang Ye smiled, waved his hand and said:

“Now is the initial stage of negotiations. Even if both parties are sincere, it will be next year before the actual implementation.

Let me tell you in advance to prepare you mentally. Plan the land around the existing aircraft manufacturing plant. You must retain enough space and train workers in advance.

Once the project is negotiated and implemented, it must be promoted as quickly as possible. After all, after we cooperate with the Chinese side, we have the technology, funds, market and orders, and the development will definitely be successful. "

It’s not that Wang Ye was too ambitious and too weak, but that at that time, it was really not difficult for China and Russia to join forces in a large aircraft project.

Damao itself has technical reserves and has been producing large commercial aircraft. However, the technology iteration is a little slow and the technology is a little behind.

That is mainly because the aircraft produced can only be "internally digested" and cannot seize market share in Europe and the United States. Of course, there will not be enough money to upgrade them.

But with the huge market in China, the biggest problem is easily solved.

As for technical upgrades, for some problems that are difficult to overcome in the short term, the best option is to purchase them from other countries first, and then slowly replace them with spare parts with independent property rights.

After all, at that time, both China and Russia had good relations with Europe and the United States. If you wanted to purchase certain high-tech product accessories, as long as they did not involve sensitive areas, you would not be stuck.

After more than ten years, if the relationship really deteriorated, their own replacement would have been developed by then.

Therefore, Wang Ye believes that as long as the conditions are negotiated, this large aircraft project will go smoothly.

…………

After a brief communication with Valsili, Wang Ye didn't even have time to stay for lunch. He rushed to the airport without stopping and boarded the plane to return to Moscow.

Because there are a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.

For ordinary official business, Bakova and Nova can still help with it, but for some important matters, they do not have the authority to handle them, so they can only wait for Wang Ye to come back.

Now that time has entered December, it is the end of the year. Other things can be put aside for the time being, but there is one very important thing that must be dealt with as soon as possible.

That is, the "2005 Financial Report \u0026amp; 2006 Financial Budget Plan" submitted by the government.

This is also Wang Ye's most important job responsibility as director of the National Economic Commission, and there may not be one more...

After all, this is related to next year’s national fiscal expenditure budget, involving countless departments, industries, institutions, and personnel!

If it continues to be delayed, the government will be shut down next year, so Wang Ye must rush back and seize the time to review this budget plan.

Normally, this plan should have been submitted to the Duma a long time ago, but it seems that there were some disputes on the government side. Meddev spent a lot of effort and energy to settle the disputes within the government and reach an agreement. Opinion.

That’s why this budget plan has just been submitted.

As for why there was a dispute with the government, Meddev also called Wang Ye and explained it in a cryptic way.

The general idea is that some government departments, especially those in the financial department, have proposed a substantial increase in next year's fiscal expenditure budget, and the increase is astonishing.

Meddev and some conservatives believe that this is too risky and will be difficult to pass in the Duma. Since it is certain to be beaten back, it is better not to mention it.

After talking to Meddev on the phone, Wang Ye also considered the reasons behind this internal dispute within the government.

He also roughly guessed that some people were jealous when they saw the huge amount of money in their hands, and wanted to transfer the money from industrial funds to the government for management, and even wanted to find someone with the power to issue new national debt. Excuses to take...

Speaking of which, the power to issue debt did originally belong to the government, but was directly "deprived" of it by Wang Ye. Now it is reasonable for others to want to take it back.

But Wang Ye does not intend to compromise in this regard!

He knew very well that with this money in his own hands, he could do some practical things and promote the development of several key industries.

If it were handed over to the government, I really don’t know what kind of mess they would do.

…………

After returning to Moscow, it was already afternoon. Wang Ye did not even go back to rest. After getting off the plane, he went directly from the airport to the Duma Building office.

Because the budget plan is on his desk.

The thick document was divided into two parts. The first half was the domestic economic data summary report for 2005. Wang Ye already knew most of the content, so he took a rough look at it.

It can be said that 2005 is coming to an end soon. During this year, the domestic economic development rate of Mauritius is quite astonishing.

The national GDP has reached US$765.8 billion!

In 2004, this number was only $648 billion.

In one year, it increased by US$120 billion, with a growth rate of 18%.

This growth rate is very amazing!

Of course, this is mainly because during this year, international crude oil and natural gas prices began to rise, and Yukos Group and Gazprom have opened up many new markets and increased production.

In other words, growth is mainly coming from the energy industry...

However, the Internet industry, automobile industry, etc. are also beginning to exert their efforts. The foundations Wang Ye laid in the past few years are not in vain.

Therefore, the GDP estimate for the next year, that is, 2006, is about US$900 billion, which is a growth rate of about 15%.

At the same time, in 2006, government revenue will also reach as high as 240 billion US dollars!

Of course, this number is also an estimate...

The fiscal expenditure budget is based on the fiscal revenue estimate, so the government formulated the 2006 government fiscal expenditure budget plan based on this "US$240 billion fiscal revenue"...

…………

Wang Ye frowned as he looked at it.

Because the total budget amount given by the government is a bit unexpectedly high.

"Eight trillion rubles"!

According to the real-time exchange rate, one U.S. dollar is exchanged for about 27 rubles, so these eight trillion rubles are equivalent to 300 billion U.S. dollars.

The government's estimated fiscal revenue for 2006 is only US$240 billion, leaving a gap of US$60 billion!

In the past, the government's habit was that fiscal expenditures were less than fiscal revenue.

First, we are afraid that we will not achieve our economic goals, so we need to leave a certain amount of room for maneuver.

Secondly, the country still has foreign debts to repay, so it certainly cannot spend all the money.

Take 2005 as an example. The annual fiscal revenue was more than 180 billion U.S. dollars, and the fiscal expenditure was 150 billion U.S. dollars.

This is the result of Wang Ye increasing the amount when he reviewed the government budget last year.

The budget plan submitted by the government this year is completely different from the previous one. This is definitely a "lion's mouth", which is twice as much as that of 2005!

It's really a bit outrageous...

And according to what Meddev meant, this amount was still the result of his reduction, and the original budget to be submitted was even more exaggerated!

Of course Wang Ye knew what those people wanted to do.

In addition, despite Meddev's "nice" words on the phone, he should also hope to increase the budget amount.

After all, who doesn’t want more money in their hands?

This is human nature and understandable.

…………

After reading the budget plan, Wang Ye pondered for a long time. He did not rush to veto it, but quietly asked Bakova to make dozens of copies of the budget plan, and then gave it to the members of the Economic Committee and the Duma Several other deputy speakers were sent separately.

Then notify relevant people and hold a special meeting the day after tomorrow to discuss the budget plan.
