Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Chapter 1048 Supply and Demand

Hannah is a great example.

She had never heard of "Mikhail" at all before, and it was not until Wang Ye took away the dominance of Da Mao's entry into the WTO that Hannah, as a government trade representative, heard the name.

Then after doing some research, I was surprised to find that this young man in his twenties seemed to be very remarkable.

His series of jobs really made Hannah quite jealous...

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

However, Mikhail has only been in the political arena for less than five years, and he has become a pivotal member of the Moscow political arena!

Of course, it's because Hannah didn't know enough about the political scene in Moscow. If she really did, she would find that Wang Ye's actual power was far greater than his ostensible positions!

That's why she wanted to give Wang Ye a bad start when they first met, but unfortunately she hit a wall and was directly beaten back by Wang Ye.

As Wang Ye said, although Da Mao is the seller and the European Union or Germany is the buyer, theoretically it is natural that the one who pays takes the initiative.

But the problem is, you, the buyer, don't have much choice!

That depends on supply and demand!

Except for the high-quality and cheap natural gas in Damao, it is difficult for you to buy it elsewhere, unless you are willing to be taken advantage of and pay high prices to buy liquefied natural gas from other countries, transported by professional ships, and have to bear high transportation costs .

So no matter how you look at it, the opening of the Beixi pipeline will far outweigh the disadvantages for Germany and the European Union, and there is no reason to refuse it.

But Da Mao is different here, if you don’t buy it in the EU, then I can sell it to the Asian market!

Don't forget that in recent years, the fastest growing region of the global economy is in Asia, especially a large industrial country, where the demand for energy is almost endless!

Worst worst, if no one buys it, then I will mine less.

Anyway, natural gas will not disappear underground. It is nothing more than a problem of mining early and late. But you must make up for the energy gap in the EU. People cook and heat, industrial gas, these are all inevitable.

If you really want to compare, Germany should be more anxious, so Wang Ye has the confidence to say that.

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

…………

Hannah should also understand this in her heart, so facing Wang Ye's words, she didn't bite the bullet and refute, but just nodded with a straight face, and found a computer for herself and said: "These things , I will talk about it in detail when the formal negotiations are held the day after tomorrow, and I wish you a pleasant meal."

As he spoke, he raised the champagne glass in his hand and touched Wang Ye.

Of course, Wang Ye will not come to chase after the victory. It is useless to take advantage of the situation verbally, and what is finally implemented in the bilateral agreement counts!

He also smiled and raised his glass to touch Hannah.

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

Not only because of the same level of characters, his age 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 Da Mao's entry into the WTO, so the leader of the Russian delegation is naturally the most important person.

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

He was from China, and he was then the Minister-designate of the Ministry of Commerce!

It was also the first time Wang Ye saw this person, but he had a deep impression of this person in his previous life...

How should I put it, this is a very charismatic person, tall, personable, and elegant in conversation, but whether it is merit or demerit, Wang Ye can only say that he has never actually met this person, and he does not really know this person, so he evaluates no.

But there is one thing that Wang Ye understands, to keep a certain distance from this person, and not to get too close no matter in public or private.

Therefore, when Minister Hou smiled and shook hands with Wang Ye, Wang Ye only responded with a polite smile.

During the conversation between the two, Wang Ye also said some polite words. Even for the invitation proposed by Minister Hou, that is to invite Wang Ye to visit the mainland after the World Trade Conference, Wang Ye also politely declined, saying that he Recently, the itinerary has been fully arranged. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely go to the Ministry of Commerce of the capital to visit Minister Hou, but not now...

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

Minister Hou paused slightly, and immediately responded with a smile: "This place is indeed very prosperous, but as far as I know, Moscow has developed at an amazing speed under the guidance of Director Mikhail in the past few years. Oh, and Crimean It is said that the peninsula is known as the pearl of Eastern Europe. It is east and west of the Xiangjiang River, complementing each other, haha..."

What he said quietly patted Wang Ye's "flattery", but you can't say that he was wrong. Moscow and Crimea have changed so much in the past few years, and it does contain a lot of Wang Ye. It can even be said that without him, the changes in these two places would not have been so great!

A shy smile appeared on Wang Ye's face, and he said modestly, "Those are all thanks to everyone, and have little to do with me."

Minister Hou said very seriously: "Mr. Mikhail, apart from your public office, you are also a very successful entrepreneur. I am speaking to you as an entrepreneur. Everyone knows that you are an entrepreneur for China and Russia. The friendship between the two countries has 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 again at the right time. I am not boasting. The current mainland The mainland is full of gold and opportunities everywhere, which is very suitable for investment!"

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

Indeed, 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 this world who can surpass Wang Ye...

However, there are too few projects worthy of Wang Ye's personal investment. After all, with his current status, projects with an investment of less than US$10 billion are out of his sight.

For an investment of hundreds of millions or billions of dollars, a few of his confidants can directly make a decision!

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

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

He also set up a private asset management company and invested all his private "small treasury" over the years, and now it is quite large. Joy City shopping malls have blossomed in several major first-tier cities.

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

In the future, it is normal for these commercial complexes to sell for tens of billions or even hundreds of billions!

If you don't want to sell, you can get soft every year just collecting rent, which can be said to be lying down and making money.

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

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

But even so, Wang Ye didn't pay too much attention to these projects, because in the eyes of ordinary people, these benefits might be an incredible amount, but to Wang Ye, they were ordinary.

His pursuit is no longer in money...

…………

What Wang Ye is thinking now is, is it really necessary for him to increase his domestic investment layout?

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

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

On the other hand, he also really believes 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 to lay out some high-tech industries in advance to save future situations. When there is a big change, someone gets stuck!

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

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

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

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

To be honest, Wang Ye himself doesn't know who knows Wang Ye's real identity in the country. Several "elders" should know, and then there are very few people in the secrecy department, and the ambassador of the Chinese embassy in Russia. People should know, but they will 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 separately, because it was still early, so everyone had everything to do.

The American delegation seemed rather loose, and Gutierrez didn't care about his subordinates. He saw members of the old American delegation walking out of the hotel in twos and threes, laughing and making noise as they walked.

Estimated either to go clubbing, or to go shopping.

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

As for Da Mao, Wang Ye didn't call everyone for a meeting. Anyway, what should be prepared has already been prepared.

Let Nova arrange it. Everyone is free tonight, but you must go back to the hotel to rest before twelve o'clock in the evening. There will be formal negotiations tomorrow, so we can't delay the business.

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

With his current attire, he looked like an ordinary young man walking on the street.

Of course, even if he walked outside in a suit and leather shoes, he wouldn't be too noticeable, as long as he wasn't surrounded by a large group of people...

On Xiangjiang's side, few people should know "Mikhail".

Walking out of the room, Nova and two specially selected security personnel are already waiting there. The security personnel will accompany Wang Ye to go out for a stroll, but Nova will not go, she still has a lot of work to do.

The reason why it is said to be specially selected is because the two security personnel look like Asians.

There are many ethnic groups in Damao, not only blond and blue-eyed old men, but also black men and yellow people.

These two security guards are Tuvas, and of course they are native Russians, not Chinese and Mongolian.

"Boss, the people from G4 have connected with me. During your stay in Xiangjiang, they will send a few people to hide in the dark to protect you, so there is no need to worry about safety."

Nova came forward to report.

G4 is the common name of "Xiangjiang VIP Protection Group", which is affiliated to the Xiangjiang Police Department. Its main duty is to carry out VIP protection tasks and ensure the safety, freedom and dignity of visiting VIPs in Xiangjiang!

With Wang Ye's level, of course, he is definitely a "visiting VIP".

If something happened to him here, it is estimated that many people would be unable to eat and walk away...

Wang Ye nodded, and asked Nova with a smile, "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's not like? Is there any problem?"

Nova then said with a smile: "No, it's not like an ordinary college student, but like a big star. Boss, you are so handsome! Then the Four Heavenly Kings of Xiangjiang will feel inferior when they stand in front of you."

This damn girl originally wanted to take the opportunity to flatter the boss.

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

In the "previous life", Wang Ye often came to Xiangjiang, because sometimes he went abroad on business, and 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 the number of times he has come here is not infrequent, and he is quite familiar with this place.

But in this life, this is the first time for Wang Ye to come here, so it can be regarded as a half-day leisure, so let's go out and stroll casually.

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