Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

United Airlines, for Wang Ye, can only be regarded as a mission, and it was pushed away from the shelves.

He has no hope of making any money from this company. If he can lose a little less, then he has made a profit!

The reason why he took over this company was to gain some political capital and expand his network of contacts.

The automobile and chip industries are where big money can be made, and they are also industries that Wang Ye plans to operate in the long term.

You know, Russia is one of the members of the Wassenaar Agreement, and the developed countries in Europe and the United States have not imposed any blockade and embargo on Russia these days, so it is very simple to buy advanced lithography machines, you just need to have money.

Asmail was eager to sell more photolithography machines. Nikon and Canon were also selling photolithography machines. Asmail only accounted for 60% of the market at that time. Just a share.

Because the investment in wafer fabs was too large, few countries and regions were willing to engage in this stuff at the time.

The return on investment is too low!

Moreover, at that time, global integration was rapidly advancing, and the global trade environment was very loose. Wouldn’t it be better to design the chips yourself and let others manufacture them? Who would not be able to imagine investing billions or tens of billions to build wafers? Where is the factory...

It can only be said that the global chip industry has changed too fast and too much. In just a dozen years, there have been earth-shaking changes.

What Wang Ye has to do is to start in advance and start up the chip industry while the global situation is not yet so severe and Russia and a mysterious power have not been targeted by the West.

He even plans to suppress a certain Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. through targeted competition.

Why can a certain Semiconductor Manufacturing Company have a near-monopoly on high-end chip processing?

Let’s not talk about what happened more than ten years later, but in 2002, whether it was funds or technical talents, Wang Ye didn’t believe it. With all the efforts of the whole country, he couldn’t even do a factory in Wadao!

Perhaps, if he really wants to make a lot of money, Wang Ye has more and better options.

For example, in financial investment, take advantage of the global Internet winter to buy more stocks of high-quality Internet companies.

Then he doesn't have to do anything from now on, he can make astronomical amounts of money just by lying down!

Why do we have to work so hard on the chip industry and invest huge sums of money in building fabs...

Even if we defeat a certain Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and monopolize the world's high-end chip processing, how much money can we make?

Wang Ye has also considered this issue, but he can only say that it is because he is Chinese.

In later generations, because of a small chip, Europe and the United States were stuck in the neck, and the whole country was filled with indignation but had no way to do anything. He would never forget the embarrassing scene!

…………

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Gryzlov grinned and asked curiously: "What kind of cars and chips are you really planning to develop? It's not easy to make money in such an asset-heavy industry. Large investments are slow to produce results, and competition for profits is fierce. Low. Just like your uncle, wouldn't it be good to be in the energy industry? The money comes in a lot and fast!"

Also, these days, there are so many big oligarchs and rich people in Russia, but if you put them together, you can find the pattern.

These top tycoons are basically engaged in two industries, either energy or finance...

As for those aircraft factories, automobile factories, shipyards, etc. that have glorious histories, no one cares about them at all. Even if they are given away, no one may want them!

Are those big oligarchs and rich people stupid?

On the contrary, they are very smart!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to become a billionaire in just a few years.

Therefore, Gryzlov was very curious as to why Wang Ye, who clearly had excellent resources, did not engage in energy or finance, but instead wanted to get involved in thankless industries such as automotive chips.

Is this kid really a so-called "patriotic youth" who plans to revive the national economy of Mao...

To be honest, he didn't believe that there were such "idiots" these days!

Wang Ye smiled lightly and said:

“Making money is the easiest thing for me, but in addition to making money, people still need to have some ideals and ambitions.

Now that I have entered the Economic Committee and served as a member, this is also the trust placed in me by the voters and colleagues, then I must live up to everyone's trust!

The automobile industry is the industry that can best drive the upstream and downstream industrial chains to create a large number of jobs, and chips are the most representative top technology of this era.

It just so happens that we also have a good foundation in these two industries.

If I can develop these two industries, I can benefit the country and the people a lot! …”

His impassioned words made Gryzlov stunned for a moment.

After listening, I was speechless for a long time.

No wonder that guy Gazev has been bragging in front of him about Mikhail's "big picture", "ambition", "international vision" and "vision"...

At first, I didn't believe it, thinking it was an exaggeration, but now judging from the time I have been in contact with Mikhail, this kid really deserves those praises!

Of course, everyone can say nice things, but whether they can actually do it is another matter.

I can't just listen to what Mikhail says, but also what he does!

Nodding, Gryzlov gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "That's right! Hey, compared to you, us old guys are much inferior. Of course, many committee members don't have what you have mastered. The resources are incomparable. But what we can do is to support you in terms of policies and legislation. Go ahead and do it boldly. I am looking forward to what changes you can bring to the country."

…………

After talking about things, Wang Ye stood up and left.

Regarding the United Airlines matter, Grezlov still needs to go through some procedures, so it will take a few days for the letter of appointment to come out, so there is no rush yet.

Wang Ye should make preparations first and then take office.

Back in his office, several assistants were working outside. When they saw Wang Ye coming back, they quickly stood up.

Wang Ye casually took off his suit and handed it to Elena to hang it up for him.

As he walked into the office inside, he arranged: "You all can come in, and we will also have a small meeting."

The five girls followed Wang Ye to the office inside, and everyone found a seat to sit down.

Wang Ye sat on the single sofa, looked at the five assistants, and asked with a smile: "Everyone has been working for a while, how are you adapting?"

Elena and the "Four Babies" nodded quickly, indicating that they were fully adapted to this job.

They have all been employed for such a long time and are basically considered full-time. If they are still not accustomed to work, it means there is a problem with their abilities...

To be honest, such a high-paying and decent job is very difficult to find in Moscow. Naturally, everyone does not want to be thought by the "boss" that they are no longer good.

So during this period, several people worked really hard and worked late every day, even though Wang Ye usually didn't assign any specific tasks to them...
