Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 859 What You Did

The second part of the new plan is about the improvement of urban facilities in the two major cities of Moscow and Petersburg.

Including urban roads, sewers, water grids, etc.

Among them, Moscow took away 5000 trillion rubles in the budget, and Petersburg [-] billion rubles.

The third part, which was proposed by Wang Ye before, is to solve the problem of housing young talents in big cities (especially Moscow and Petersburg).

That is to build low-rent apartments!
This part of the budget is 5000 billion rubles, Moscow 4000 billion rubles, Petersburg 1000 billion rubles.

It is also because Moscow has a large population, and the prices and rents here are relatively high.

In Petersburg, the relative prices and housing prices are much lower, so the problem is not that serious.

Therefore, in the first stage of the plan, funds and resources will be tilted to Moscow, and the housing and survival problems of young talents here will be solved first!
In fact, in addition to these hardware improvements, Wang Ye also has considerations in software.

For example, he is promoting relevant laws and regulations to provide corresponding tax relief policies for companies that employ fresh college graduates.

In order to encourage enterprises in Moscow to recruit more college students and provide more jobs.

There are so many good universities in the city of Moscow!
There are so many college students graduating every year, many of whom are elites. It is really heartbreaking to see them being lost to foreign countries.

The reason why the economy has been sluggish has a lot to do with the serious brain drain of college students.

The purpose of Wang Ye's current series of policies and systems is to solve this problem fundamentally!

From urban appearance, infrastructure, housing improvement, to preferential policies and regulations, only when all aspects are in place can we truly solve the problem.

…………

"By the way, how is the progress of low-rent housing?" Wang Ye turned to ask a committee member.

This member is in charge of the low-rent housing project full-time, and he is also a member of the Duma Economic Committee. When the low-rent housing project was discussed in the Duma meeting, Wang Ye handed it over to him.

He is quite responsible in his work, so he has been recognized and appreciated by Wang Ye, and now he has followed Wang Ye to the National Economic Development Commission, which is definitely a promotion.

The member quickly replied:
"Director, the low-rent housing project in Moscow has already begun.

In order to promote this project more efficiently and at a lower cost, some time ago I had contact with many government departments or state-owned enterprises in Moscow, and got a batch of vacant old-fashioned houses from them.

Although those houses have been around for a long time, as long as they are refurbished and rebuilt, they are still very good to live in.

In particular, most of these houses are in very good locations, with convenient transportation, and are very suitable for single people or small families.

Of course, this is also because the funding budget for this previous project was not enough, and there was no way to acquire large-scale land for new housing.

With so much budget now, the progress of the low-rent housing project will definitely be greatly improved! "

Wang Ye nodded appreciatively, "Well, low-rent housing, the purpose of this project is to solve the problem of housing difficulties for young people and provide them with an affordable and suitable housing.

It is to solve the problem of availability, rather than the problem of quality, so it does not need to be too high in cost, let alone turn it into a high-end residence.

My requirement for this project is that the quantity is large, the quality is acceptable, and the most important thing is that the rent should be cheap enough!
For example, the rent for a single room should not exceed $[-] a month, and a suite for a small family should not exceed $[-] a month..."

Wang Ye's low-rent housing project, of course, is not really intended to provide low-cost housing for all Moscow residents.

In that case, everyone would stop buying a house and live in low-rent housing without any pressure in life, which is not conducive to struggle!

So he has to control well, these houses are just to keep those college students who have just graduated.

It allows them to stay or work or start a business without much pressure. After five to ten years, when their income is high, they still need to improve their housing conditions and buy a big house.

Because this also involves a big plan behind Wang Ye, he intends to continue to push up the price of commercial housing in Moscow and support the development of the real estate industry.

Real estate, in any country, is a very important pillar industry!
Don't underestimate the house, there are too many industries involved in it, and it can drive the development of many industries.

Steel bars, cement, decoration and decoration materials, furniture and appliances, architectural design, sanitary ware and kitchen utensils...

This thing is more exaggerated than the auto industry.

When any country is in a period of rising national strength, housing prices are rising rapidly, which also means that all industries are booming.

However, while developing the real estate industry, we cannot ignore the housing problems of ordinary people, especially young people.

After all, a city with enough young people is a city with vitality and development prospects.

In the future, housing in Moscow will gradually become polarized, with high-priced high-end apartments + cheap low-rent housing...

…………

Policies formulated at the Economic Development Council are slowly affecting ordinary people.

Ma Ji, whose full name is also "Moscow Highway Automobile University", is considered very good among technical colleges.

In previous years, it was difficult for graduates of this school to stay in Moscow, because there were not many jobs here and the competition was too fierce.

But this year, things seem to have changed...

"Dalia, have you heard that several companies will come to our school to recruit fresh graduates tomorrow. It is said that they are all very powerful companies, such as Gazprom, State Construction Corporation, Yukos Group, Russian Automobile Group and the like.” In the dormitory building, a student excitedly said to his classmates.

The young man named Dalia was full of surprise, "Really? Where did you find out that these big companies would not come to our school to recruit in the past, right? It is too difficult for graduates of our school to get in!"

"Hey, notices have been posted outside the teaching building. Tomorrow, we will hold a recruitment promotion meeting in the school auditorium. It seems that there are so many job openings, almost every major is required. I thought I would graduate soon and go back to Siberia I’m working there, now I’m fine, maybe I have a chance to stay in Moscow!” said the classmate with a smile on his face.

A smile just appeared on Dalia's face, but he thought of something, then shook his head and said helplessly: "It's fine if these companies provide housing, but if they don't provide housing, it's hard to stay, right? Too high!"

That's right, when they lived in the school dormitory, they didn't feel much. After all, the school dormitory is almost free.

But I heard from the seniors who have graduated and joined the work that the price of renting a house in Moscow is too high, far beyond their affordability.

Even if you rent a single room, it costs four to five hundred dollars a month, which is almost the monthly salary of a fresh graduate...

This is not counting the cost of eating and traveling!
"Hey, it's a big deal that some of our good friends rent a house. It's okay if the conditions are difficult. As long as you can stay in Moscow, you will have more opportunities than going back to your hometown. And I think Moscow has changed quite a lot in the past two years, and the economy has also changed. It’s better than before, maybe it will get better in the future.” The classmate said indifferently.

Staying in Moscow is the dream of most college students.

This is the largest and most prosperous city in Eastern Europe, not one of them!

Of course, some outstanding students may not care, because they can still apply to prestigious schools in developed countries in Europe and America, or have opportunities to work abroad.

However, such top students are still a minority after all, and the vast majority of college students do not have such opportunities.

…………

On the second day, Dalia and several of his good friends came to the school auditorium on time to participate in the recruitment promotion meeting.

Those legendary big companies really came!

And these companies seem to be recruiting on a large scale this year, and they need a lot of people.

As long as the graduates with above-average grades can basically apply for the job.

The most important thing is that the salaries offered by these companies are also quite good. Graduates with a bachelor's degree can get $[-] for a starting month.

Doctoral students start with a thousand dollars!

This level of salary is much higher than in previous years.

As for the worry about accommodation like Dalia, it has also been well resolved.

Because at the promotion meeting, all the companies promised that they would help new employees to apply for low-rent housing from the government, or that these companies could provide some housing themselves.

Fees are very low!
Dalia and his friends all applied for the National Construction Group, because their major is road construction, and they can be regarded as professional counterparts.

I heard from the group's personnel introduction that the reason for the large-scale recruitment this year is because the group will have a lot of new projects to launch this year!

The country is going to build highways on a large scale...

This news is also good news for Dalia and the others.

Originally, their major was very unpopular.

Because there are very few roads in China, and if there are no roads, there is no use for you to study this major.

It can only be said that they were very lucky. They thought they would be unemployed after graduation, but they just happened to catch up with the country's highway repairs, so they got a good job opportunity and stayed in Moscow!
…………

Similar scenarios are happening in many universities in Moscow.

Because of the big infrastructure plan promoted by Wang Ye, as well as the massive additional budget, all big companies have smelled it...

Especially those group companies in related industries are gearing up to expand their company scale and recruit a large number of employees in order to cut a bigger piece of this "big cake".

A total budget of five trillion rubles, which is almost equal to the total government expenditure for two years!

Moreover, the money is invested in a few fixed major industries. It is conceivable that the relevant large companies will definitely be able to eat their mouths full of fat and make a lot of money!

In this way, of course, they will not hesitate to spend a sum of money in advance to recruit a group of fresh college students with relatively high salaries.

There has even been rumors from the Duma that regulations will be issued soon, and companies that hire more fresh graduates will enjoy more favorable tax policies.

That's tantamount to saying that the government bears a part of the salaries of fresh graduates!

In this way, everyone is naturally happy to recruit fresh college students to work. After all, they are young people who have just stepped into the society. Apart from lacking a little experience, they have a high level of knowledge reserve and a lack of enthusiasm for work!
So, now that college graduates are approaching, scenes of big companies robbing people are staged in various universities...

All this is nothing on the surface.

But that can only be achieved under the combination of Wang Ye's series of measures.

The government has invested a lot of money, and major companies have obtained large projects, hired more employees, and paid higher wages. The population of Moscow has increased, and consumption will also increase accordingly, which in turn drives the prosperity of various industries and increases the government's tax revenue and GDP. growth of……

In this cycle, isn't the country's economy growing rapidly?

Of course, the reason why Wang Ye has the confidence to do this is also based on his "accurate judgment" that in the next few years, international energy prices will rise rapidly!
The price of crude oil has doubled or even tripled, and natural gas has opened up the eastern and western markets.

Relying on the income from these two industries alone, he is sure to pay off the five trillion yuan in debt.

That's why he dared to engage in this so-called big infrastructure project...

…………

While Wang Ye was busy working on the economy, the general election also kicked off.

There are only two candidates who have really entered the "final circle".

One is the incumbent, and the other is of course Wang Ye's "uncle" Hovchenko.

Before the start of the general election, Khovchenko talked to Wang Yeshen once.

"Misha, do you think I'm going to withdraw from this election?" Hovchenko asked helplessly.

Wang Ye was a little surprised, and asked back: "What's the matter, uncle, why did you suddenly withdraw from the election?"

Hovchenko took a newspaper casually, pushed it in front of Wang Ye, and nuzzled, "Look, the results of the latest approval poll."

Wang Ye picked it up and saw the latest poll on the front page headline.

Hovchenko's approval rating is only 26%...

As for the adoptive father, it was an overwhelming 74%!

Wang Ye couldn't help laughing, no wonder Hovchenko didn't want to participate in the general election anymore, with such an approval rating, what else should he choose...

"This... I remember that the gap between the two of you was not so big in the past two months. Wasn't your approval rating still over 40.00% that time? Could it be that something happened recently that caused your approval rating to plummet? ?” Wang Ye asked a little suspiciously.

Hovchenko glared at him, pretending to be angry and said, "It's not a good thing you did!"

Wang Ye was a bit puzzled, what did this have to do with him, he would avoid this issue in public, and he didn't say who he would support.

Even his own faction has not proposed which candidate it will support.

"The idea you mentioned last time was to deploy strategic weapons in Kaliningrad, which helped him increase a wave of popularity and support.

What big infrastructure projects have been launched recently, such as low-rent housing, improvement of urban infrastructure, and construction of expressways.

People who understand these things know that you are in charge, but ordinary voters don't know.

They believe that it is the credit of the current government, and that they have indeed done a lot of practical and good things.

Therefore, his approval rate has skyrocketed to such a high level..."

Hovchenko said helplessly.

Wang Ye was also speechless. He just wanted to do something, but he didn't expect that he would secretly help the Kremlin side!

No wonder the Kremlin is so supportive of his work recently...

The feeling is that the better I do, the higher the support rate of my adoptive father, and the greater the probability of winning the election!

It just made my uncle Khovchenko suffer...
