Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

After returning to Moscow, Wang Ye sent the iPhone he brought back to everyone he knew.

Including the Kremlin side, several speakers and deputy speakers of the Duma, all members of the two committees he serves as chairman, including Meddev, Shaoyigu, Korokoli, etc.

Of course, that includes Rosiana and the assistant secretaries in the office.

Everyone is still very interested in such a new gadget, especially since this mobile phone is very convenient for surfing the Internet. As long as there is data, you can surf the Internet anytime and anywhere.

Although mobile data was very expensive at that time and ordinary users could hardly afford it, but for people like Wang Ye, that little money was nothing.

But before, if everyone wanted to access the Internet, they had to use a desktop or laptop computer, which was too inconvenient.

But now a small mobile phone allows you to surf the Internet at any time, which is really convenient.

Because they brought a large number of mobile phones, in addition to the senior figures around them, the remaining royalties were distributed to the executives of the major group companies.

Although the total number is not large, the identities of the people using these mobile phones are there.

Therefore, soon everyone saw many big names using this unique new mobile phone on various TV news, newspapers and magazines, and on many important occasions.

Big shots are using it, so it’s a good thing!

In the past, people with status in Moscow used Rittal phones because they were a symbol of identity and status, and even high-ranking figures used them.

But now, Apple's new mobile phone has replaced Rittal and has become a new popular trend.

Of course those rich people can't get the gifts from Wang Ye, but they can ask someone to buy them from North America. Parallel imports are not a new thing, they have been around for a long time.

So for a time, almost everyone in Moscow’s middle and upper classes had an iPhone!

Even Apple phones are not officially on sale here...

The effect Wang Ye expected was achieved.

When Apple's supply chain is integrated and production increases, it will also start selling to Eastern Europe, and sales will naturally not be too bad by then.

In fact, Rosiana has suggested to her grandfather Constantine to instruct his communications company to discuss cooperation with Apple...

First, after using it personally, she is really optimistic about the future sales of Apple mobile phones.

Secondly, this is a product of my "husband's" company, so my family naturally has to support it.

…………

In mid-January, Wang Ye, as director of the Economic Committee, publicly inspected Yukos and Gazprom and made important speeches.

Encourage Yukos and Gazprom to continue to increase production and actively expand the market, because Wang Ye believes that international energy prices will have a big increase this year!

In fact, in the past few years, international energy prices have experienced a surge. For example, crude oil has increased from less than 40 US dollars per barrel in 2001 to nearly 80 US dollars per barrel today. The price has doubled!

However, the price of $80 has been stable for more than a year. The international community believes that this price is high enough and cannot continue to rise, otherwise it will affect the development of the world economy.

The United States has been calling on oil-producing countries to lower oil prices, but unfortunately few have responded. After all, for oil-producing countries, rising oil prices have a stake in them. When it comes to their own interests, the United States loses face.

Not that no one raised objections to Wang Ye's prediction. The official from the Ministry of Energy who came with him for inspection asked doubtfully: "Director Mikhail, increasing production will only lower the market price. Historically, energy price increases have basically It’s all because of reduced production, so what you’re talking about isn’t a bit..."

He wanted to say that Wang Ye's statement was contradictory, but he was too embarrassed to say it.

Wang Ye smiled and didn't care, but explained patiently: "But have you ever thought about the possibility that if other major oil-producing countries have problems and reduce their production, at the same time, the global market's demand for crude oil The demand is still increasing! As a result, will the price of crude oil continue to rise, and do we need to expand production?"

The official was dumbfounded, because under the circumstances Wang Ye said, he really wanted to do this.

But to achieve this situation, the conditions required are too harsh!

Are other major oil-producing countries having problems and reducing production?

What a problem that could cause!

There are only a few major oil-producing countries in the world, including Russia itself of course. Which country will cause problems...

It is easier to understand that the global market's demand for crude oil is increasing, which means that Director Mikhail continues to be optimistic about the recovery of the global economy.

Although he still wanted to ask further, thinking about Director Mikhail's multiple identities, he obviously had some more precise information, so he made such a judgment.

So there were no more questions.

The management of Yukos Group and Gazprom, of course, carefully recorded Wang Ye's instructions and planned to immediately adjust this year's production plan and focus on increasing production and expanding the market.

They absolutely believed in Wang Ye's words, because Wang Ye had never made any mistakes in his business judgments!

Every time, no matter how shocking what he says, time will always prove that he is right...

…………

In fact, Wang Yezhen is not a "prophet", nor does he have any information from any source. He just remembered that in his previous life, 2007 was a relatively lively year.

Of course, the next year, that is, 2008, will be even more lively...

In Wang Ye's memory, there were two major events in 2007 that almost everyone knew about, and he also remembered them deeply.

The first one is, of course, the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, and the world is once again facing an economic crisis!

The second one is the turmoil in the Middle East, with global crude oil prices exceeding $100 a barrel!

Both of these things happened in the second half of the year, which meant that there was still half a year of preparation time. Wang Ye would start making some preparations now.

Crisis, crisis, it is both danger and opportunity!

For someone like Wang Ye who has resources and knows the development trend in advance, this is of course a huge opportunity!

However, Wang Ye still needs to think about how to make profits from it.

After all, you can’t do too much, and you shouldn’t make too much noise, otherwise you will be stared at...

…………

One day in mid-to-late January, Wang Ye received a call from China. It was his mother.

On the phone, my mother carefully asked Wang Ye if he had been busy recently and how he was celebrating the Spring Festival. He must pay attention to his health. He must not just be busy with work and get tired and sick.

Obviously she also knew that Wang Ye was very busy with work and would most likely not be able to go back to celebrate the New Year, but she still wanted to call and ask.

After all, there is just such a son, no matter how high his status and fame are, his parents still care about him, for fear that he will be unhappy or something.

Of course Wang Ye understood what his mother meant. His heart felt warm and his nose felt a little sour.

Outsiders only see how beautiful he is, but they cannot see the hard work behind him...

Well, it’s actually not that hard.

However, Wang Ye's life has not been easy these past few years, especially because he feels tired and under too much pressure.

Every step he took was cautious and walking on thin ice!

I am afraid that if I go in the wrong direction, I will be killed, literally...

Although the situation is much better now, and it is almost impossible for any person or force to deal a devastating blow to Wang Ye, he still dare not take it lightly.

Wang Ye can only keep these things in his heart, carry them alone and cannot talk to others.

Maybe Ajielina can understand his difficulties and help him share some of the pressure. Others, even Nalan Yaqi, Ruan Xiaozhu, Nova and others who have been with him for a long time, still don’t know enough about Wang Ye. Comprehensive.

So in the face of his mother's concern, Wang Ye could only respond calmly: "It's been fine recently, I'm not so busy anymore, but my job is quite sensitive, so I probably won't be able to spare time to go home for the New Year."

Mom also knew what was going on with Wang Ye, so after hearing what he said, she could only sigh and stop discussing this topic.

He smiled and said: "Your cousin Xiaoxiao is pregnant. She will probably give birth to a big fat boy in a few months. Speaking of which, you are not much younger than her. I really don't know when I will be able to hold a grandson. Hey, maybe I'll never be able to hold you in my arms, and your daughter-in-law can't take her back either. She doesn't even know that your father and I exist."

As she spoke, my mother's voice lowered and her mood became a little low.

Wang Ye had a headache. He understood his mother's mood. After all, he saw that his sisters of the same age were holding big fat grandsons. Not only was his son not married yet, he couldn't even go home to see them often. In addition, My daughter-in-law didn't even know the old couple existed and thought they were "dead" long ago. It's strange that they are not in a low mood.

But what can I do...

Wang Ye suddenly felt a little impulsive and remembered something. He blurted out: "Mom, this year, you and dad go to the capital to celebrate the New Year. I should be able to spare a few days to go back."

On the phone, my mother was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while.

After Wang Ye said "Hey", she came back to her senses and asked subconsciously: "Of course it would be best if you could come back to celebrate the New Year, but why do you have to go to the capital?"

Wang Ye explained with a smile: "I bought a quite big yard over there. You and your dad haven't seen it yet, so you just took this opportunity to go and have a look. In addition, there is something that can only be done in It’s done in the capital. My hometown is a small place and it’s inconvenient because there are so many people talking. Anyway, you and dad just need to prepare to go to the capital. I’ll call you in advance.”

The mother hung up the phone in confusion. In the end, she didn't understand what the "surprise" was, but now that her son could return to China to celebrate the New Year with them, she was already satisfied.

If you go to the capital, just go to the capital. Think of it as a trip during the Chinese New Year. The old man is usually busy with work, so this time he is "forced" to take a break.

…………

The reason why Wang Ye suddenly wanted to return to China and give his mother a surprise was naturally because of his arrangements.

It can't be said to be a whim, after all, this matter has to be done sooner or later, so it is better to choose a day and do it directly while returning to China for the New Year.

As for what happened...

Of course, he agreed to Agelina’s wedding!

A few days ago, when he went to Petersburg to attend a gathering of Rosiana's family, he promised Constantine that he would marry Rosiana in the middle of next year.

Then the secret wedding between himself and Ajielina will naturally be put on the agenda.

If it were to be held next year, Wang Ye always felt weird, so it would be better to hold it this year. Moreover, it would be held during the Chinese Spring Festival, which would be considered a "double happiness"!

Wang Ye did act a bit impulsively in this matter. Not only did he not prepare in advance, but Ajielina would also be in a hurry after receiving Wang Ye's notice.

But it’s okay to be impulsive once in a while. Living calculated and doing things all the time is too tiring.

Just think of it as being willful...

…………

Sure enough, after receiving Wang Ye's call, Ajielina didn't say anything for a long time.

Of course it wasn't that she was unhappy, it was just that the incident was so sudden that she was surprised and delighted, and couldn't react for a while.

What's more, Wang Ye hasn't officially held a wedding with Rosiana yet, so he has to "marry" himself first. Does it really matter?

So, Ajielina hesitantly asked Wang Yedao: "That...does she know about this? When are you and her wedding going to be held? Has the time been set?"

Wang Ye responded simply: "It's scheduled for next summer. She doesn't know about it, and I don't plan to tell her yet. Moreover, our ceremony will be relatively low-key this time, and only close relatives of both parties can participate. I Here are my parents, and you are your parents over there. As for Nova... you decide if you think she should know."

Ajielina hesitated for a long time, then shook her head and said: "Forget it, let's not tell Nova for now, so as not to cause trouble. There is no problem with my parents, and they have already known your identity."

Since Ajielina said this, Wang Ye would naturally not object. Anyway, it doesn't matter if Nova knows or doesn't know.

Ajielina's parents have long known the secret of Wang Ye's identity. They have always strictly kept this secret and have never revealed it to anyone, including Nova!

…………

After communicating with Ajielina, Wang Ye immediately took action.

He first used the embassy channel to ask PetroChina to send an invitation to him, saying that he wanted to discuss the issue of increasing energy cooperation, and invited himself to visit the capital.

The time is naturally arranged during the Spring Festival.

In addition, he gave instructions to Liu Mei, asking her to contact a wedding company to arrange the palace garden in the capital in advance for a secret wedding.

Ordinarily, this matter should be entrusted to Zhang Xiaoxi. After all, Zhang Xiaoxi is his "housekeeper".

But the problem is that the two of them just broke through their relationship some time ago, and now they ask Zhang Xiaoxi to help him arrange the wedding scene with another woman. This is indeed a bit unreasonable...
