Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Wang Ye has no ill intentions towards Meddev, so he will not deliberately make things difficult for him.

After pondering for a while, he smiled and said:

“Based on the information I have, international energy prices will continue to rise in the next three to five years, but it’s hard to say to what level they will rise.

However, even if the increase is not too large, it is enough to have a significant impact on our GDP growth.

Coupled with the official opening of the Siberian energy pipeline, we will transport more crude oil and natural gas, and we will naturally get more reimbursements.

In addition, with the rapid development of the automobile manufacturing industry, aviation industry, and Internet industry, they will also make a considerable contribution to economic growth next year.

So I am still very optimistic about next year's economic growth.

If I were to judge, next year's GDP growth rate should be around 20%! "

Wang Ye is not just talking nonsense, but it is really based on evidence.

Even in the previous life, Mao's economic development was advancing by leaps and bounds in those years, even faster than some countries in Asia. Of course, this was also due to the increase in national energy prices.

Now, after Wang Ye’s steady operation and preliminary layout in the past few years, the domestic automobile, aviation, and Internet industries in Damao are indeed much stronger than in the previous life!

And after several years of operation, it’s time to make some efforts.

That’s why Wang Ye has the confidence to make such a judgment that next year’s GDP growth rate will not be less than 20%!

…………

After hearing Wang Ye's words, Meddev was relieved and let out a sigh of relief.

To be honest, in the economic field, he is far inferior to Wang Ye.

Whether it is the control of the economic field or the judgment of world economic development, including vision and pattern, it is still far from enough.

After all, Wang Ye has experience in his previous life, coupled with his long-term hard work in the business field in this life, he has mastered a large amount of information that others cannot have access to. Combining these, he can naturally have a more accurate and long-term view of the world economic situation than others. .

The adoptive father is also smiling. He is certainly the happiest person that the country's economy can develop so well.

After all, in the eyes of the outside world, these achievements were all achieved during his term of office, and he is the number one contributor!

"If the economic growth rate can maintain 20% next year, then... how about the expenditure budget be 50% higher than this year?" Meddev asked tentatively.

According to his statement, it is actually equivalent to cutting a lot of the budget plan they submitted a few days ago, which can be regarded as a more sincere concession!

But this obviously did not meet Wang Ye's expectations.

Wang Ye shook his head slowly, "No, it's still too high."

Meddev became anxious immediately. After cutting so much, he was worried that he would not be able to explain to the ministers when he returned. If he cut further, he would not have the courage to communicate with the ministers.

However, he didn't dare to confront Wang Ye. After all, the initiative was in Wang Ye's hands. If he said he wouldn't let you pass, he really wouldn't give it to you.

Do you really dare to shut down the government...

It is estimated that by then, not only will Wang Ye not be forced to submit, but Ke Gong will lose confidence in himself and will have to consider replacing him!

So Meddev turned his attention to his adoptive father and Gazev, hoping that they could help him put in a good word.

The adoptive father coughed and hinted at Gurbrev.

He can't come forward directly yet. After all, if he speaks, there will be no room for maneuver.

Normally Wang Ye would give him face, but what if...

Therefore, it is better to let Gebrev come forward first. In this case, he can be regarded as a "buffer zone" and he can also test Wang Ye's psychological bottom line first.

If it doesn't work if Godbrev comes forward, but as long as Wang Ye's bottom line can be found out, it will be considered a success.

At that time, I will "quote" according to Wang Ye's psychological bottom line, and there will basically be no problem!

Gebrev had worked with his adoptive father for so many years, so he understood it with just one look, and immediately said with a smile:

"Since Misha you are so optimistic about next year's economic growth, it is reasonable to increase the fiscal budget appropriately. After all, many agencies in our government departments have been in dire straits these years, and even regular wages cannot be paid.

Now that the country's economy has developed, the growth rate is so high, and the finances are much better, it is reasonable to increase the budget appropriately or improve everyone's welfare benefits.

How to control this range really needs to be treated with caution. So, Misha, how much do you think it should be increased? "

He was also "cunning" and did not directly give his opinion. Instead, he asked Wang Ye what he thought and wanted Wang Ye to directly draw a line.

Wang Ye understood the psychology of the people here. Since everyone was still considered comrades in the same "camp", he didn't want to go around in circles, so he sincerely gave his opinion.

“Next year’s economic growth will be as high as about 20%, and fiscal revenue is expected to reach US$260 billion, so budget expenditures should also be based on this amount.

Compared with this year's expenditure, it has increased significantly, which should be enough. "

The original budget plan submitted by the government was for a budget of US$300 billion. Now Wang Ye has directly cut off US$40 billion, which is not too much.

And even the budget of 260 billion US dollars is tens of billions of dollars higher than this year. The increase is quite large.

This makes it easier for Meddev to communicate with ministers after he returns.

At the same time, Wang Ye does not need to take money from debt issuance to fill the hole here, which is the best of both worlds.

Therefore, upon hearing this amount, the adoptive father nodded and expressed his approval.

Although Meddev was a little unwilling, he could barely accept it, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I will hold a meeting to discuss it when I go back, and after reaching an agreement, I will submit a new budget plan as soon as possible."

…………

After discussing the budget issue, Wang Ye remembered the cooperation plan discussed with the Chinese delegation in Irkutsk and took the opportunity to mention it.

“When I went to Irkutsk to attend the pipeline opening ceremony a few days ago, I had a meeting with the Chinese delegation.

There is a large aircraft manufacturing factory there, so I discussed it with the Chinese representatives and thought that we could cooperate on a large commercial aircraft project.

Developed a large commercial passenger aircraft with independent property rights!

We will carry out technological upgrades for our existing domestic commercial passenger aircraft, and China promises that as long as the research and development is successful, it will give large orders for aircraft to cooperative factories..."

The foster father became interested as soon as he heard this.

He understands how huge the market for this kind of large commercial passenger aircraft is!

This is much more profitable than selling fighter jets...

If the cooperation is successful, United Airlines will really be revitalized, and it may become a new cash cow outside the energy industry in the future.

Since Wang Ye took charge of economic work, he has been seeking to "walk on two legs", that is, to support the healthy development of industries other than the energy industry.

The entire burden of the national economy cannot be placed on the energy industry.

After all, there are too many factors that influence international energy prices. Although prices have soared in the past two years, Damao's economy has benefited a lot from this, but what if energy prices plummet in the future.

It’s not like I’ve never suffered a loss before…

Therefore, the Kremlin also gave great support to Wang Ye's efforts.

Let him come forward to integrate United Airlines, support him in supporting the automobile production industry, and even give Wang Ye the power to issue bonds.

That's the purpose.

…………

After Wang Ye finished speaking, his adoptive father asked: "This is a good thing, but what kind of cooperation method will the two parties adopt? How to divide the capital contribution ratio, shareholding ratio, etc.?"

Wang Ye said with a smile: "The main thing is that we provide the technology, and both parties jointly invest. The early production is on our side, and the Chinese side can produce it on its own in the later stage. The new technologies developed are shared by both parties, as long as they are not transferred to third parties..."

The adoptive father frowned, "This way...why does it feel like we are paying more and the other party is enjoying the benefits?"

In fact, this is not the first time that the two parties have discussed cooperation in the development of large aircraft. Because the conditions have not been negotiated, cooperation has never been reached.

Because Da Mao has the technology, the asking price is relatively high and the attitude is relatively high. The Chinese side does not want to suffer a loss, so it has been delaying until now.

Wang Ye is relatively pragmatic and understands that this approach is beneficial to both parties.

If we miss this opportunity again, both parties will have to pay a heavy price in the future.

China has to wait nearly twenty years to develop a large aircraft with independent property rights. But on the Mao side, large passenger aircraft are completely finished, and there are no new technologies or new markets at all...

If we unite, we will both benefit; if we divide, we will both lose!

Perhaps only Wang Ye, with his current status and influence, has the ability, courage, and willingness to bring both parties together to reach a cooperative relationship!

So he seemed a little displeased with what his adoptive father meant, thinking that he had suffered a loss.

He smiled and said: "You can't look at it that way. On the surface, it seems that China has paid less, while we have paid more in terms of money and technology.

But after the aircraft is developed, it must be able to sell it!

Our market is almost saturated, and neighboring countries do not have the ability to purchase many new aircraft.

The Chinese side has a huge market and can provide massive orders for the joint venture. This is the key. "

After listening to his explanation, the adoptive father understood Wang Ye's true thoughts.

He felt that it made sense to say that the other party was trading the market for technology, while his side was trading technology for the market!

It doesn’t seem like it’s a disadvantage…

After figuring out the joints, he smiled and nodded, "I understand, this cooperation is possible! Then Misha, please contact the other party as soon as possible and try to reach a cooperation agreement.

In fact, we have a lot of sophisticated technologies in our hands, but unfortunately they cannot be turned into products. Our domestic market is still too small, and it is not easy to break into the European and American markets.

Alas, after all, they still don’t really accept us..."

At the beginning, he was more towards the west, dreaming that Da Mao could integrate into the European family.

At that time, Wang Ye issued a warning. The adoptive father still didn't believe it and was watching with a dubious attitude.

As a result, a few years have passed, and he has finally seen the attitude of the west side clearly, and now he has basically given up his fantasy...

Therefore, support for the general policy of "turning eastward" proposed by Wang Ye has begun.

As for the Sino-Russian large aircraft cooperation project proposed by Wang Ye today, if it had been put forward a few years ago, it is estimated that the Kremlin might not have supported it. After all, it has to provide both money and technology, which seems a bit too "taken advantage of"...

But now, his attitude is different.

…………

During a dinner, the adoptive father came forward to mediate the dispute between the Economic Committee and the government.

Wang Ye appropriately relaxed the conditions and gave the Kremlin and Meddev a face. At the same time, he did not allow the government to intervene within the scope of the Economic Committee's powers as desired.

This result can be considered acceptable to both parties, and everyone is happy.

After Meddev returned, he quickly submitted a new budget plan, which was completely based on the lines drawn by Wang Ye.

Wang Ye also held a special meeting to discuss and adopt the new budget plan, and then submitted it to the Duma Congress for a show of hands vote.

The big shots behind the scenes all reached a consensus, and there were no surprises at the Duma Congress, which was almost unanimously approved.

In addition, the large aircraft cooperation project with China has also been rapidly advanced.

China has sent a new delegation to negotiate on cooperation in the development of large passenger aircraft.

As the chairman of United Airlines, Wang Ye showed enough sincerity and was willing to provide technology and capital without reservation, and made certain concessions on the shares of the joint venture.

In the end, the two parties reached a cooperation agreement and established a joint venture group company to jointly develop new civil aviation aircraft.

Several research institutes under the United Airlines Group will take the lead, and China will also send some technical personnel to conduct joint research and development.

The production base is temporarily set in Irkutsk Oblast. When the technology matures, China will also build its own large-scale aircraft factory there...

In addition to work matters, Tonya and Liye also came to Moscow and transferred to the Moscow State Dance Academy to study.

Wang Ye was not secretive, so Rosiana soon learned about it.

However, she did not blame Wang Ye for this, she just asked him to try to restrain himself and avoid causing a scandal.

In order to take care of Rosiana's emotions, Wang Ye did not let Tonya stay at the Kitty Eagle Hotel. He just bought a high-end apartment near the National Dance Academy for Tonya to live in and it was convenient for him to go there...

After all this busy work, time has come to early January 2006, and the new year has arrived...

…………

January every year is considered a relatively leisure time for Wang Ye.

At the same time, it is also the time when various groups begin to settle their financial accounts and distribute dividends. Wang Ye will naturally make a large amount of money.

In 2005, the business development of each of its group companies was quite good. The most outstanding ones were naturally Yukos Group, Gazprom, Siberia Gold and other companies.

In terms of dividends alone, Wang Ye received nearly US$4 billion in January!
