Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Fikloff's "Program for Increasing the Population Fertility Rate" was adopted at the Duma Congress.

But if you want to implement it, you still face a big problem.

That is the various subsidies and support, but it involves a lot of money. Where does the money come from?

Fikrov doesn't have to think about money, but Speakers Wang Ye and Grezlov must.

Policies without sufficient funds to support them are just empty words and will have no effect at all.

To this end, Grezlov convened several deputy speakers and held a small meeting to discuss where to squeeze out enough money to implement this plan to promote population fertility.

"I asked someone to calculate it. If the policies in the plan are actually implemented, it is estimated that it will cost one billion US dollars per year. If the results are good, the amount will increase incrementally. This is not a small amount of money. It is difficult to start from It’s taken out of the national budget.”

Grezlov spread his hands and said helplessly.

As a national policy maker, or at least a participating decision-maker, there are many policies that are obviously beneficial to the country and the people, but they are difficult to introduce and even more difficult to implement.

Is it because they don't want to?

No, it’s just because I don’t have any money!

It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

If possible, which country doesn't want to implement universal welfare? It would be best to cover everything from birth to death!

Unfortunately, there are few countries in the world that have the ability to implement this kind of welfare policy.

It is impossible to be as strong as an old beauty and as rich as a small book!

That is to say, there are several small countries in Northern Europe. Because of their pitifully small populations, they can implement this kind of welfare policy to a limited extent.

A large country with a large population may be able to implement universal welfare in some aspects, but if it wants to provide comprehensive welfare, no matter how rich the country is, it will bankrupt it.

This time, it was probably because Wang Ye and Gryzlov saw the long-term harm of the population crisis to the country, so they had to push forward such a welfare policy.

But I still have the headache of where to get the money.

…………

The deputy speakers looked at me and I looked at you, and everyone was speechless.

Finally, everyone unanimously turned their attention to Wang Ye.

If it comes to spending money, then everyone here is a good hand!

But when it comes to making money, there is no doubt that it must be Mikhail...

Therefore, now everyone is counting on Wang Ye to come up with a way to make money. If he can't figure it out, then don't introduce this plan and just take a rest as soon as possible.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Wang Ye smiled helplessly. Of course he knew what everyone meant.

However, this proposal was made by people from my own faction, and had my approval. There was nothing I could do about it. I would definitely endorse this proposal.

In fact, Wang Ye has already considered the issue of funding sources and has a relatively mature and reasonable plan.

The reason why he didn't take it out in advance was of course his own consideration...

He frowned in embarrassment, stretched out his hands to rub his face, and after a long time he said: "One billion US dollars... This is a huge sum of money! Is this amount calculated correctly? Do you need so much? "

Grezlov nodded simply and replied: "This is calculated by a group of professionals in the Finance Department. To achieve the desired results, one billion US dollars is the minimum. Of course, if there are more funds, That’s even better.”

Wang Ye pondered for another moment, seeming to be thinking about how to solve this problem.

Just when Gryzlov was a little impatient and wanted to urge him, Wang Ye slapped the table, which startled Gryzlov.

"Yes! We need to change our thinking to solve this problem. We can't focus on the small financial budget. Otherwise, we will tear down the east wall to pay for the west wall. If there is money here, other places will be stretched." Wang Ye said.

Grezlov said in a dumbfounded voice: "Everyone understands the truth, but if we want to make this money from a new place, we don't have any ideas. Aren't we just waiting for you to come up with ideas now?"

"What are the most profitable industries in our country?" Wang Ye asked, staring at Gryzlov with bright eyes.

Grezlov tentatively replied: "Oil?"

Wang Ye nodded and continued to ask: "What else?"

"Natural gas? Finance? Communications... gone!" Gryzlov counted on his fingers for a long time and could only name three industries.

Among them, oil and natural gas are both energy industries. In the final analysis, the industries that Russia can excel in are currently the two major industries of energy and finance.

Among them, finance only dominates domestically and has little influence internationally.

Wang Ye smiled, "Yes, of course the most profitable monopoly industries have to pay for this kind of thing!

Their wealth comes from the people and must be used for the people. As enterprises grow bigger, they must not forget their sense of social responsibility.

This is what I have been emphasizing within the company since I became the chairman of Yukos Group.

To this end, Yukos Group allocates a sum of money every year to fund education in remote areas.

Should other energy and financial communications giants also assume corresponding responsibilities and contribute to the country's population growth? "

Wang Ye's words made the conference room quiet.

What he said made sense, and there was nothing anyone could question.

However, are they willing to let those energy oligarchs, financial oligarchs and communication giants dig into their pockets to subsidize the national finance...

After all, these speakers and those oligarchic companies are all closely related in private.

If you want them to come forward and be this "evil person", they must be unwilling, so they simply bow their heads and remain silent.

Others can pretend not to hear, but Gryzlov can't. He is the supporter of the meeting.

And he also very much hopes that this population proposal can be successfully implemented.

Grinning, Gryzlov said in embarrassment: "Then in what... name shall we use to collect this money?"

"Implement a separate tax, and make it clear that this tax is only targeted at the top three companies in the three major industries of energy, finance, and communications! Let them allocate a sum of money in proportion to their revenue for a special purpose. Support the implementation of the population proposal." Wang Ye replied without hesitation.

It is not difficult to introduce a new tax law that targets only a few leading monopolistic companies. The Duma has this power.

However, it will be difficult for this tax law to be successfully passed in the Duma and implemented.

As I have said long ago, most of the more than 400 Duma members have various relationships with these giant companies. At critical moments, they have to help those giant companies speak for themselves!
