Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

More than a dozen large companies, with an investment of nearly US$30 billion, are enough to support the construction of a square kilometer of CBD.

Wang Ye's Moscow CBD plan has obviously been unanimously recognized by everyone.

With settled companies and construction funds, the next thing will be much easier to handle.

After everyone voted unanimously at the National Economic Council, a formal plan was drawn up, and a committee member was designated to be responsible full-time and take the lead in the coordination of various departments and agencies, coordinating the initial planning, demolition, land access and leveling, transportation construction, etc. of the entire CBD project.

Of course, Wang Ye cannot handle specific affairs personally. He is only responsible for giving direction and setting policies. Once the plan is determined, it can be left to the people below to handle it.

Otherwise, what are all the members of the National Economic Council used for...

This project took a total of about ten days from the time Wang Ye proposed it, discussed it at a meeting, convened company representatives to solicit opinions, and then passed the final plan within the committee and decided to start moving forward.

It can be said to be extremely fast and ridiculously efficient!

This matter does not even need to be approved by the Kremlin, the government or the Duma. After the plan is formally formed, a filing is submitted to the Kremlin, which is equivalent to notifying them that this matter is about to begin... …

This is the power of the "National Economic Council". As long as it involves economic-related issues, once the committee reaches a consensus, it can start implementation directly.

Any department, organization or individual involved must cooperate unconditionally!

Of course, it is impossible for Wang Ye to use this "privilege" to do anything bad.

Because once or twice may not matter, the Kremlin will turn a blind eye, but if it continues like this, or does something particularly intolerable to the Kremlin, then this "privilege" may not last long!

…………

Originally, after the CBD plan was passed and a dedicated person was appointed to promote the project, Wang Ye stopped paying attention to it.

But what he didn't expect was that something would happen in the most unexpected place...

The reason why Wang Ye originally chose this location to build the CBD was because it was close to the city center and had a good environment.

The second is that there are very few buildings in this area, making demolition easier.

However, the problem happens to be demolition!

In the area designated as CBD, there is an old community with more than a dozen Soviet-style tube buildings, which are quite old.

This community belonged to a family home of a certain government department. However, this department was reorganized and disappeared with the disintegration of the former Soviet Union. Later, the houses in this community also changed hands in various ways, and now the people living there are more complex.

But because the location of the community is very good, those who can afford to buy a house here can be considered rich to a certain extent.

Wang Ye ignored this point at the beginning. He thought that since this community was considered a family home of a government department, the people living there should be civil servants and their families. Wouldn't it be a matter of a notice to demolish it?

Of course, even if Wang Ye knew at that time that the current owners of this community were in complicated situations, he wouldn't care too much about it.

Nothing can be done without a little difficulty, and you can't just stop doing it when you encounter any difficulties!

Moreover, compared with the construction of Moscow CBD and the benefits that this CBD can bring to the city of Moscow and even to Russia as a country in the future, demolition is a trivial matter.

No matter what, this community will be demolished!

The committee member responsible for coordinating this CBD project is called Tovsky, who is also a veteran with rich political experience.

After he took over this task, the first thing he did was to communicate with the Moscow city government and ask the city government to come forward to "clear" the land.

Because Tovsky knew very well that the difficulty of this task may lie in the early stage, that is, the demolition step.

Later, if we need money and people, then it’s just a question of the speed of construction progress, so there’s no trouble.

But if you get stuck in the first step and cannot demolish the land at all, then you will be in big trouble!

This CBD project is not only a major project promoted by Speaker Mikhail, it is also a major event that all parties, including the Kremlin Palace, are paying close attention to!

Now I am responsible for myself, but I got stuck at the first step. So how do the leaders view their work ability...

Originally, Tovsky thought that the Moscow city government would encounter some resistance. After all, everyone knew that Speaker Mikhail and the Moscow faction were not too much to deal with.

Even in this Duma election, the Moscow faction was defeated and lost many seats in the Duma.

But now the city of Moscow is still in the hands of the Moscow faction, and this is also their base camp. It will be difficult for external forces to capture this "fortress" for a while.

Tovsky was mentally prepared. If the Moscow City Government was really too shameful and kept dragging him out of doing things, then he would have no choice but to resort to the "Sword of Shang Fang" and dismiss several officials involved on the spot. Established authority.

The National Economic Council has such power!

But to his surprise, the Moscow city government was surprisingly cooperative. As soon as Tovsky took out the official document, the other party agreed and said that a working group would be dispatched immediately to assist Tovsky in the demolition work.

However, because this CBD project is led and responsible for the Economic Committee, including demolition compensation and other matters, the city is not clear about it, so the city can only assist. To truly decide on the compensation standards and pay the compensation, Tufus will be needed. Key came forward.

This was a reasonable request, so Tovsky happily agreed.

He thought that as long as the city was willing to come forward and he would not be stingy with the compensation standards, then the demolition work would be within reach.

If all goes well, it is estimated that in less than a month, the entire planned area will be cleared and follow-up work can be carried out.

Such work efficiency!

Gee, I guess Director Mikhail will be generous with his praise when he reports on the progress of his work at the next Economic Committee meeting...

…………

There are a total of eighteen residential buildings in this government community. They are all seven-story old-fashioned tube buildings. They don't even have elevators and are quite old.

However, because the people who live here have more or less money, the community environment and the building itself are well maintained and look very neat.

According to statistics, there are currently about a thousand households living in the eighteen buildings.

This number of households can't be said to be too many, but it is definitely quite a lot. It can be considered a fairly large community.

According to Tovsky's plan, a new residential area will be built in a new area, and all owners here will be compensated according to the area of ​​1:1!

Although the location here is better, the problem is that the houses here are very dilapidated.

Use the "old and broken" here to exchange for a new elevator room that is slightly more remote. No matter how you calculate it, you will make a profit.

Of course, it will take another year or two for the new houses to be built. During this time, the relocated households will have to deal with the problem themselves.

But Tovsky will also provide rental subsidies to everyone. According to the area of ​​each demolished house, rental subsidies ranging from 500 to 800 US dollars per month will be given!

This price is not unreasonable.

You must know that these days, most people in Moscow do not have such a high monthly income!

These compensation conditions were naturally discussed by Tovsky, his assistants, and the project team. This has set a precedent in Moscow!

Originally, according to some project team staff, this community was originally a government house!

The government allocates the residence to the employees of the unit, but the ownership is still in the hands of the original unit. Although the original unit has "disappeared", the state is still there.

Existing state agencies always have "inheritance rights", right?

Just drive away the residents inside, and there is no need for any compensation.

However, this suggestion was rejected by Tovsky.

Although there is some truth in doing so and it makes sense from a legal perspective, the question is, will the residents be willing to do so?

They will definitely make trouble!

At that time, there was a big fuss over this matter. Not only did it waste time, but it also caused a lot of trouble for myself. What was it for...

After all, this CBD project is indeed very rich. Are the tens of billions of dollars of investment expected by major companies a joke? !

Then I won't save money on some details. If I can exchange money for time and efficiency, it's still worth it.

…………

The demolition working group composed of the Economic Committee and the staff sent by the city to assist entered the residential area and first distributed the demolition notices door to door.

The notice states that an important national project will be built on this land, and residents are required to cooperate and relocate to other places.

Of course, the state will not leave large families without a fixed place. Not only will they allocate new high-end residential buildings, they will also provide certain cash compensation!

Literally speaking, the conditions given are definitely generous enough!

Most residents were indeed moved. In a short period of time, many residents signed letters of intent, agreed to the compensation plan, and moved to new residential buildings.

When Tovsky was complacent and thought everything was going well, something unexpected happened...

"Commissioner, something happened! Dozens of owners united and wrote an open letter and published it in the Moscow Evening News. They publicly criticized our working group for the brutal demolition and wanted to drive them out of their homes and leave them homeless on the streets. Return..."

A staff member hurried to Tovsky's office to report to him.

Tovsky stood up immediately with a look of astonishment on his face.

What are you doing...

Not to mention that I did not engage in any brutal demolition at all, nor did I drive the owners out of their homes. On the contrary, the demolition conditions I provided were quite generous.

Besides, even if those owners have any dissatisfaction and want to raise any conditions, they can come directly to the working group to discuss it.

Now no one comes to talk to me at all, so he just mentioned it in the newspaper?

This is a bad sign!

Judging from Tovsky's experience, this matter is by no means that simple!

The other party may not only want more compensation, but may have no intention of talking about it at all, and the purpose is just to make the matter bigger.

Which force is behind this...

Tovsky was agitated when he thought of this. He didn't want to be caught in some factional struggle.

With my "small body", I am not qualified to be caught in the middle.

So he immediately came to Wang Ye's office with a copy of the Moscow Evening News.

Just kidding, even if someone is behind this matter, it is not aimed at me. It is probably not aimed at this project, but at Speaker Mikhail!

Because everyone knows that this CBD project was launched by Speaker Mikhail, and the big companies involved have something to do with him.

If it can hit this project, it will be aborted or delayed and cannot continue.

Mikhail will lose face!

It might even damage his reputation...

…………

Tovsky was right in his thinking. After Wang Ye listened to his report, his first reaction was that someone was making trouble against him.

Because there is something strange about this matter inside and out.

If it was a real deal, even if the price was exorbitant, it would at least contact the demolition team first and negotiate terms.

How could he not say a word when he came up, but it was directly reported to the media, and it was also published in a very influential newspaper!

Wang Ye immediately asked his assistants to collect relevant materials and information, as well as who among the troubled owners was instigating the trouble and who was the main messenger!

It has to be said that Wang Ye's assistant team is extremely efficient.

It only took less than a day, and before the matter had even begun to ferment, a complete document was placed in front of Wang Ye.

Elena reported with a solemn expression:

“Boss, this matter is indeed a bit abnormal, because violent demolition has become a hot news topic on Facebook.

Many big Vs with many fans are forwarding this!

Under their leadership, the entire incident was aimed at criticizing the government, saying that it was just for the sake of prestige projects, wasting state funds, and causing a large number of people to become homeless and displaced..."

Wang Ye frowned when he heard this.

As a person who has experienced the "turbulence" of the Internet in later generations, he understands the dangers of this Internet rhythm.

No matter who is right or wrong about any matter, as long as the party that has the right to speak on the Internet will use a large amount of rapid public opinion guidance in the early stage, it will ferment public opinion and tilt it in its direction.

Countless netizens will be involuntarily aroused and join in the fun.

Even if the truth of what happened later is revealed, not many people will pay attention to it because everyone's emotions have passed and there are new Internet hot spots to attract everyone's attention.

To put it simply, this is "spread rumors with your mouth, but you will lose your legs if you refute them"!

I really didn’t expect that in 2005, some people had begun to use the power of public opinion on the Internet, and they still had to deal with themselves!

You know, after this public opinion fermented, the entire Moscow CBD project was completely discredited.

Then as a leader, I will also be labeled as "I enjoy great achievements but waste money and people".

For me, this is simply a precise sniper!
