Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

On February 23, when Wang Ye was listening to the work report of Elena and several assistants in his office, his cell phone rang.

It was Alexei calling.

"Hello Speaker Mikhail, on behalf of the Ministry of Energy, I have something to apologize to you for. That is the proposal to regulate export rights in the energy industry. We want to apply to withdraw it."

On the phone, Alexei spoke very politely and very officially.

Obviously, he made this call in his capacity as Secretary of the Department of Energy, not as an individual.

Wang Ye smiled slightly, this was what he expected.

Originally, no one within the Economic Committee mentioned this matter, including Alexander, who made the original proposal.

Obviously, everyone got the news and knew that the matter had been resolved.

But the Ministry of Energy must go through a process of withdrawing the case. Otherwise, the formally submitted proposal cannot be ignored so quietly.

That’s why Alexey just made this call today.

"Why, I have selected the participating companies and am preparing to hold an industry conference. Do you have any new ideas?" Wang Ye said lightly.

He is not targeting Alexei, but the Ministry of Energy!

What kind of place is the Economic Committee? Oh, you can put forward any proposals you want and withdraw them if you want to?

There must be a reasonable explanation!

Alexey said quickly: "Ah..., that's the case. After repeated discussions internally, we feel that this new system still has many problems and is not mature enough. So we plan to withdraw it and study it carefully to provide economic benefits." Members of the committee are very sorry for causing trouble!”

His attitude was very upright, and he knew that Wang Ye must be dissatisfied with this matter.

Now that Wang Ye has dealt with the people behind the scenes, things can no longer be resolved. If Wang Ye wants to vent his anger, the blame will fall on the Ministry of Energy...

You can't always blame...

Well, that place!

Therefore, no matter how unpleasant Wang Ye's words are, you must stand up straight and listen!

Of course, Alexey also knew that Wang Ye's words were not meant for him, but to let the officials of the Ministry of Energy who provoked trouble know that they should be more careful in doing things in the future.

The Economic Committee is not a place where they can just mess around.

As expected, Wang Ye didn't go into details. He had no objection to Alexei. After all, he was also his old friend.

He casually said: "The work style of your department needs to be rectified. In the future, immature plans should not be submitted to the Duma. Otherwise, I will propose in the Duma to improve the work ability and work of the Ministry of Energy." We need to review and rectify our work style!”

Wang Ye knew very well that since the call between the two of them was business-to-business, it meant that the content of the call was not confidential.

At least the leadership of the Department of Energy will know the contents of the call.

So he said this deliberately, not to make things difficult for Alexei.

In fact, helping Alexey is equivalent to giving him "a knife"!

If Alexey has not completely taken control of the Ministry of Energy, then he can take this opportunity and follow Wang Ye's words to conduct an internal "cleaning"!

Wang Ye's guess was not wrong. Since Alexei was "parachuted" into the Ministry of Energy, he has indeed not fully grasped the power of the ministry.

After all, all the deputy ministries and departments have a group of old people from the Ministry of Energy. It is impossible to just drive them away or transfer them without any reason. That would be a mess.

This time, it was some old men in the ministry who took the lead in Yukos, and some people with ulterior motives were added to the trouble. Even he, the minister, could not control the situation. He could only form a consensus and submit the proposal to the Duma. proposal.

Now that things have come to an end, Wang Ye has resisted!

He also took this opportunity to "blame" the Ministry of Energy, so Alexey felt confident. He could just use this opportunity to move a few people in key positions and replace them with his confidants!

Of course, the ones he wanted to move were not the ones who really took the lead, because he knew that those people couldn't move.

Because those people have received instructions from some aspects and are considered to be "acting on orders." If you try to touch them yourself, wouldn't you be asking for trouble?

But some people who have ulterior motives become those "chickens" who "kill the chicken to show the monkey"...

Therefore, after hearing Wang Ye's harsh words, Arik understood.

He quickly said loudly: "Please rest assured, Speaker Mikhail, I will immediately convene a ministry meeting to deeply reflect on this mistake, and I will also hold accountable some personnel who are not serious and irresponsible in their work!

The Ministry of Energy will give an explanation to the Economic Committee! "

At this time, Alexei was sitting in the large conference room of the Ministry of Energy. The phone was played out, and the people sitting on both sides of the conference table were the senior officials of the ministry!

The two of them didn't communicate in advance at all, but just a few words on the phone set the tone for the matter.

It also created an opportunity for Alexey to rectify the department!

…………

Of course Wang Ye was too lazy to take care of Alexey's efforts to reorganize the Ministry of Energy.

He also has a headache now.

Elena just reported to him that Wagner Security Company had recently submitted a plan to expand the "army" and wanted to expand the scale and recruit an additional team of 3,000 people.

And it also needs to be equipped with various weapons and equipment according to the specifications of the world's first-class "mobile force".

This means another huge investment of funds...

If it weren't for Petrov's reasonable explanation, Wang Ye would have doubted what this guy wanted to do!

It turns out that Petrov has been staying in Africa for a while recently. It is said that he has traveled almost all over there, visiting all kinds of strange small countries.

Then, he submitted this "army expansion plan."

Because he wants to shift Wagner's development center to Africa!

In Europe, there is no place for Wagner Security Company. After all, most of the countries here are very wealthy and peaceful. Your private army, no matter how powerful it is, will not dare to compete with the national team. ?

But Wagner's strength is there. Thousands of sturdy "killing machines" are well fed and fed. He can't just practice in the base every day. He has to do something.

So Petrov focused on the Middle East and Africa.

He now concludes that it is not suitable for the Middle East to intervene for the time being. The situation is too complicated and it is a game between great powers.

Maybe Wagner would become a "chess piece" there, and he could easily become an "abandoned piece"...

The best choice is actually in Africa!

Because this vast continent is too poor and backward, not many big countries have set their sights on it.

Because this place means a burden and no profit for those big countries.

But for Wagner Security, it is indeed a paradise...
