Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Wang Ye really guessed it right. At this moment, Gebrev was sitting opposite Puding, and the two were discussing Hovchenko's new faction.

"In the past two days, I have collected information and contacted several people who left the first faction and defected to Kovchenko to understand their thoughts..."

Gebrev made a detailed report on the information he collected in the past two days.

Yesterday, Kovchenko suddenly held a press conference to announce the establishment of the faction, which caught Gorbrev off guard.

Before, he had not paid much attention to Hovchenko because he had more important things to be busy with.

In addition, Hovchenko was very quiet some time ago and did not do much.

But I never expected that Hovchenko would become a blockbuster even if he didn't even make a sound!

As soon as the new faction was established, it attracted a large number of senior political figures, and even some backbones of the top three factions in the Duma were attracted to it.

It’s hard to say anything else, but judging from the current situation, if the Kovchenko faction really wants to participate in the Duma election, it can get at least thirty or fifty seats!

This is more than the current third faction, and may even become the second faction.

Of course, it is not realistic to threaten the more than 300 Duma seats of the first faction.

But don’t forget that there is still one year left before next year’s election. During this period, Kovchenko will obviously not stop and will continue to recruit people and “incite rebellion” to more members of the first and second factions.

By then, coupled with Hovchenko’s strong financial support, it’s really hard to say what will happen next year…

…………

Pu Ding frowned, his expression uncertain.

It’s not that he doesn’t allow others to participate in the election. After all, it is a democratic election. As long as you have a certain basis of public opinion, you can participate in the election. It is impossible for him to prevent everyone from participating in the election.

But the problem is, Hovchenko is different from other competitors!

Originally, Hovchenko was just rich and had no foundation in politics, so when he said he wanted to run for office, Puding took it as a joke and didn't really worry about anything.

But looking at it now, something seems a little wrong.

The new faction is coming so fiercely that even the old fox Zhirinov has defected to it.

Now there are people and money on Hovchenko's side!

It really shouldn’t be underestimated!

After thinking for a long time, Pu Ding said, "What was Mikhail's reaction?"

Gazev immediately replied: "Misha was in London a few days ago. Didn't he buy a football club and go to work on that matter? According to the news I learned, he also made an appearance at Arsenal's home court in the afternoon. He flew back to Moscow immediately before the game ended. He must have received the news that Kovchenko had established a new faction. Judging from his reaction, I guess he didn’t know much about Kovchenko.”

Puding nodded and asked: "How many people did Kovchenko pull from the third faction? Are there any current members of the Duma among them?"

"It may be because of Zhirinov. They have taken away a lot of people from the third faction, and they have almost caught up with the second faction. Of course, the most people have been taken away from our faction. This is normal. Who let us The faction has the most people. There are not many current Duma members, just two. After all, it is quite troublesome for Duma members during their term to switch to other factions, and they have to resign voluntarily, which is a huge loss. But when the election starts next year , at the end of the term, it’s hard to say..."

Incumbent members of the Duma are bound to factions. After all, when they started campaigning, they used the faction's name to attract votes and do propaganda.

If you leave your current faction midway and switch to another force, your position as a member of the Duma will be automatically cancelled.

Therefore, the people Hovchenko and the others have attracted are mostly from the government or opposition parties, and there are not many real serving members of the Duma.

…………

After asking and answering questions, Gebrev told him all the information he had, and Puding also gained an intuitive understanding of the matter.

Finally, he said decisively: "Don't take action for the time being, continue to pay attention to Hovchenko's subsequent actions. In addition, you find an opportunity to chat with Mikhail and find out what he thinks. As long as Mikhail does not have an affair with Hovchenko, If the two parties join forces, then the matter is not that bad. But this guy must be careful not to be fooled by them, and to investigate privately..."

Gorbrev nodded to express his understanding.

He also knew what Pu Ding's concerns were.

A combination of Kovchenko and Zhirinov cannot make any big waves.

But if you add Mikhail, the current deputy speaker of the Duma and leader of the third faction, the nature of the matter will be different!

If the worst happens, then the Kung Palace must prepare in advance, and even at the critical moment, it must be ruthless...

Gebrev was a little worried about Wang Ye. This was his most optimistic new political star, and he had placed a heavy bet on Wang Ye!

If he really turned against the Kremlin and became an "enemy" because of his involvement with Kovchenko, then he would be so heartbroken...

However, he couldn't say these words in front of Pu Ding. He just nodded and said: "Okay, I will pay attention. Tomorrow, I will find an opportunity to meet with Misha and test his tone first."

…………

The next day, Wang Ye had just arrived at the Duma office and was looking through the documents accumulated in the previous few days when Gorbrev called.

"Misha, I heard that you are back from London. How is the new team? Have everything been settled? You and Abramovich have become the focus of the world these days. I have seen many media reports in Europe. , Russian oligarchs invaded England, haha..."

On the phone, Gebrev smiled heartily.

Wang Ye responded with a smile: "That's the style of the British tabloid media. They make every little thing seem like aliens are about to invade the earth. The club matters have been dealt with and I stayed there for a few days. , it’s quite boring, there are a lot of things going on here in Duma, so I rushed back in a hurry.”

"Let's have dinner together tonight? We haven't chatted for a long time." Gebrev seemed to say casually.

Wang Ye naturally wanted to give him this face and agreed without hesitation.

The two made an appointment to meet at their usual place, Turandot Restaurant, at six o'clock in the evening.

However, after hanging up the phone, Wang Ye fell into deep thought. He naturally understood that with Gurbrev's identity and position, he would not invite him to dinner for no reason.

Both of them are too busy!

So what's the reason? Anyway, it can't be because of the Arsenal club.

It is not difficult to guess why Wang Ye rushed back to Moscow, and it must be because of this that Gebrev asked him to have dinner with him!
