Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Obviously, Shao Yigu would not refuse Wang Ye's "summoning", not to mention that this time he was going to talk about the budget issue that he was most concerned about recently.

So I showed up at Wang Ye's office on time.

The two of them are old friends, there is nothing to be polite about, and they get straight to the point after sitting down.

"I want 300 billion U.S. dollars! If it's less than this amount, it won't have much effect." Shao Yigu said frankly, but he didn't make a big deal.

300 billion U.S. dollars, compared to the extra budget that Wang Ye gave him in the previous two years, is an increase of [-] billion U.S. dollars, which is within a reasonable range.

After all, Shao Yigu’s identity is different now from before, so he needs to be given more face!
Wang Ye thought for a while and said cheerfully: "Okay! 300 billion is no problem, but this money must be used wisely, and it can only be purchased... Forget it, this money probably can't buy any decent warships, it's better to use them all It’s time to purchase fighter planes. The Sukhoi Design Institute, a subsidiary of the United Aviation Group, has recently developed a world-leading fighter plane. Have you seen it?”

"Pfft, can Sukhoi produce a world-leading fighter jet? Can it be comparable to the F22? It really doesn't work. It has to be about the same as the F35. You don't mean the SU35, do you? Although that aircraft is claimed to be The fourth and a half generation is also very powerful in air combat, but the problem is that it is not stealthy! When you really want to fight against those fifth-generation aircraft, you can't see others being invisible. What's the use of having strong maneuverability, that is, it is used for Just bully the other fourth-generation and third-generation aircraft." Shao Yigu smiled disapprovingly.

Also, since the SU70 was launched in the 27s, Sukhoi has never produced any decent results.

The subsequent improved model, the SU35, had a prototype in the 80s, but it encountered the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, so the project was stagnant. It was not restarted until Wang Ye reorganized the United Airlines Group in recent years. The final version of the SU35 has been taken out and is about to be put into service. Shao Yigu knows this aircraft.

But behind closed doors, the so-called fourth-and-a-half-generation SU35 is just a gimmick. As long as it can't be invisible, it still can't be called the fifth-generation machine!
And the F22 he said was developed by the old beauty in the 90s, and now it has been put into service and has formed combat effectiveness!

There is a generation difference between F22, SU27 and SU35, which is a whole generation ahead.

Not to mention the F22, even the "beggar's version of the F22", that is, the F35, has already made its first flight and will officially enter service soon.

If the price of the F22 is too high, almost no country except the United States can afford it, but the price of the F35 is much cheaper, and this aircraft will become the mainstream model in the future.

Therefore, the fighter aircraft that Shao Yigu most hopes to purchase should be similar to the F35 in terms of performance parameters and cannot lag too far behind. Otherwise, there will be no need to replace it. It is better to buy a few more "big black fish".

Wang Ye smiled slightly, and said calmly: "It's really comparable to the F35! This newly developed fighter, I temporarily named it SU57, and its performance parameters are already fifth-generation fighters!"

Shao Yigu was stunned for a moment.

Fifth generation machine ah!

Since the United States took out the F22, to be honest, all other countries in the world can only look up to it, because the gap is too big!
The F22 is a fifth-generation stealth aircraft. Compared with all the achievements of other countries, it is an era ahead of its time.

It has been more than ten years now, but no country has come up with a new fifth-generation mobile phone, so much so that the United States itself feels that it is too far ahead and feels uncomfortable at the top.

Moreover, the F22 is too powerful and invincible, and its performance is seriously "excessive". In addition, its price is indeed ridiculously expensive, with one aircraft costing [-] million US dollars!

What's more, this aircraft technology does use too much "black technology". The United States does not even sell it to its own allies, so it can only bear all the research and development expenses itself, resulting in production costs that cannot be reduced.

So I couldn't bear it anymore, so I just made a "youth version" of the F35. The price has been reduced, and it can also be exported to all allies.

Shao Yigu looked at other people's F22 and F35, and his mouth watered with greed, but he had no choice and it was impossible to buy them.

Therefore, we can only buy our own SU35. Although it is not as good as the fifth-generation machine from the United States, from a global perspective, this is still a relatively leading model.

The so-called fourth and a half generation fighter jets like the SU35 are not cheap. The external sales price is as high as 8000 million U.S. dollars each. Internally, even at the cost price, it costs 5000 to [-] million U.S. dollars!

This price even catches up with the price of the old American fifth-generation machine F35!

There is no way, sales volume is poor, and there are few countries willing to purchase, then the output will naturally be low, and the cost cannot be reduced.

…………

After a long time, Shao Yigu, who came back to his senses, grabbed Wang Ye's arm and asked eagerly, "Aren't you joking! Why haven't I heard of this?"

Wang Ye laughed and said: "This project was started three years ago after the establishment of the United Airlines Group. It is classified as top secret. Only Kegong and I know about it. Now that the research and development results have been achieved, it will soon make its first flight. So I can let you know.”

It is said that the development of this kind of fighter aircraft is absolutely inseparable from the cooperation of the military. Otherwise, if you take out a fighter plane that you think is very advanced, but actually does not meet the requirements of the military, what use will it be.

But the SU57 project is different, because this project was actually started a long time ago, but because the funds were cut off after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, the project was temporarily sealed.

After Wang Ye led the formation of the United Aviation Group, he learned about this matter while communicating with people from the Sukhoi Design Bureau. Of course, he knew the benefits of the fifth-generation aircraft, so he decisively invested money and restarted the project.

At the same time, he also knew that Damao was heavily infiltrated by foreign forces. In order to prevent technology leaks, the confidentiality level was raised very high, and very few people knew about this project.

Now after the project was successful, he told Shao Yigu.

The purpose is naturally to hope that Shao Yigu will place a large order as soon as possible so that this relatively advanced fifth-generation aircraft can be mass-produced as soon as possible.

As a result, Shao Yigu was discouraged when he heard this, "Has it just made its first flight? Then it will have to wait three to five years before mass production and service."

Also, there is a long process for an advanced fighter aircraft from its development, to its first flight, to continuous test flights, and finally to mass production and service.

If it is fast, it will take three to five years, if it is slow, I don't know how long it will be...

Wang Ye smiled and said: "If you place the order and pay earlier, then United Airlines Group will naturally be able to concentrate its technical strength to tackle the problem and put this aircraft into mass production and service earlier."

Only then did Shao Yigu realize that Wang Ye was waiting for him at this place!
He shook his head helplessly and said: "Didn't we discuss increasing my military spending today? Why do I feel like I was deceived by you? Did this money go directly to your United Airlines Group without even using my hands?"

Wang Ye comforted him and said: "Originally, the purpose of your application for this additional military expenditure was to purchase advanced equipment. Money cannot improve combat effectiveness, but advanced equipment can! I can tell you one more thing, that is, United Airlines Group The business has been good in the past few years and the funds are relatively abundant, so advanced models will appear faster and more in the future. In fact, including the current SU57, I am not very satisfied, it is still a bit disappointing."

Shao Yigu deeply sympathized with Wang Ye's words.

It’s really hard to move without money!
In terms of technology and research and development capabilities, Mao is really worthy of any country, otherwise the military strength in the former Soviet Union would not be so strong.In some fields, you can even beat the old and the United States.

Later, we really ran out of money, and there was a serious brain drain. Naturally, it was impossible to continue scientific research, so we slowly fell behind in many fields.

If, as Wang Ye said, funding is no longer a problem, then we can really look forward to it in the future.

So he said cheerfully: "Since you have said so, Speaker, what else can I say? Well, half of the US$300 billion is used to order SU35 and SU57. Although SU57 is more advanced, after all, SU57 still needs more It will take several years to be mass-produced and put into service, and the SU35 can be delivered very quickly, so we still need to purchase some. The other half still needs to be purchased from other equipment. Alas, in fact, everything is lacking, including fighter jets, transport aircraft, armored vehicles, warships, everywhere They are all places where money is spent.”

Wang Ye patted his shoulder, expressed his understanding, and comforted him: "Take your time, you can't become fat with one bite. Now that the country's economic development is getting better and better, more and more military expenditures will be allocated every year in the future. Don't worry."

Shao Yigu stood up, saluted Wang Ye solemnly, and said seriously: "Then... I leave everything to you, Speaker!"

He was not only grateful to Wang Ye, but also respected him.

Because since the two got to know each other, Wang Ye would occasionally ask him or Korokoli to handle some personal matters, make arrangements for his subordinates, etc.

But looking at the big picture, Wang Ye is really the most selfless person among all the people he knows!
Everything we do is to make this country better and stronger...

Of course, he didn't know that all of Wang Ye's actions could be considered "passive". Shao Yigu couldn't understand this, but Ke Gong knew it.

The adoptive father will say that he has been "staring" at Wang Ye...

…………

This year's government budget was passed very smoothly, which also shows that the tacit understanding between the Duma, the Kremlin and the government is getting higher and higher.

They have almost gotten along with each other, they respect each other and understand each other. No one will make any small moves or make excessive demands, so the other two parties will naturally not embarrass him.

Of course, among the three parties, the most powerful one is still the Kremlin, which has the absolute initiative, but is also checked and restrained by the other two parties.

After all, if the Kremlin wants to make some big move, it must first be approved by the Duma, and then the government must be willing to cooperate and implement it...

The same is true for the Duma. In itself, the Duma has no executive power, only legislative power. Therefore, the previous Duma was just a decoration, a voting machine.

This situation was broken only after Wang Ye became the first deputy speaker, took control of the Duma, and headed two committees.

Although the Duma still has no executive power, Wang Ye can directly jump out of the Duma's shackles on many matters and implement them through committees. Combined with the Duma's own approval and legislative power, this is very powerful!
The government has nothing to say. The main positions are originally nominated and appointed by the Kremlin. Of course, they must be consistent with the Kremlin in the general direction.

Otherwise, Nak Palace can dissolve the current government at any time and form a new cabinet!
But under normal circumstances, the Kremlin will not do this. After all, those who can serve as the general secretary and the heads of major departments are basically the core backbones of their own faction or other large factions. They must be given some face, otherwise it will be easy. lead to betrayal.

Although he removed his post in the general li last time, he did not touch any core departments, which shows that he is also very worried about causing a backlash...

So now at the top level, if we really want to rank them in order, from strongest to weakest they are the Kremlin, the Duma, the government...

It goes without saying that the representatives of these three parties are all.

Not many people can really see this clearly, but they are all core figures of the major factions.

Therefore, Wang Ye, the "Deputy Speaker of the Duma", may not be considered a real big shot in the eyes of non-top politicians in the following states, cities and abroad.

But in the eyes of some people, he is already the second most central figure!
…………

After finishing the financial budget matters, it was already the end of December, and Wang Ye once again received a call from the other side of the ocean.

It was the call from Gang Leader Qiao...

"Mikhail, if you have time, I hope you can come to the press conference in person.

Because this moment is historic for Apple.

I think that from the day of the press conference, Apple has truly become a great company, using technology to change the world!

And I, and you, are the founders of this great company!
So it would be best for both of us to be present at this historic moment. "

On the phone, Gang Leader Qiao sounded unusually serious and extended an invitation to Wang Ye very sincerely.

In Gang Leader Qiao's heart, he was indeed very grateful to Wang Ye.

It was this "Russian" who "selflessly" extended a helping hand to Apple during its most difficult time and directly injected huge amounts of money into the company!

The most valuable thing is that he has not made any unreasonable demands and has clearly supported his series of proposals on the board of directors.

Such shareholders should be what all company CEOs dream of!

Even the upcoming new product that in the eyes of Gang Leader Qiao can change the world was only developed with Wang Ye's strong support.

When Gang Leader Qiao proposed that the company invest huge sums of money in establishing this new project, many people on the board of directors were opposed to it. They believed that mobile phone manufacturers, including Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony, Ericsson and other giants, had already become a red ocean market and were profitable. The rate is not high, so there is no need to go in and mix it up.

It was Wang Ye, the major shareholder, who firmly supported Gang Leader Qiao, so this project could be successfully launched.

Now, the first generation product is about to be released, and Gang Leader Qiao naturally hopes to share this beautiful moment with Wang Ye... (End of Chapter)
