Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 886

Of course, Wang Ye got the news of such a big event as soon as possible.

But he was different from others, he didn't stare at that position, because Wang Ye couldn't be the president himself, and he didn't have any suitable candidates to recommend.

Hovchenko was not interested in this position, but Rosiana really wanted to be in it, but she didn't have enough qualifications, so she was rejected by her adoptive father a long time ago.

So now Wang Ye is nothing to do with himself and hangs up high, he can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Find out who the hell is out of this competition to get this spot.

However, Wang Ye is very interested in the resigned Kasyanov!
This dude is definitely a talent.

In his previous life, Kasyanov seemed to have been "expelled" from the Kremlin at about this time. After he left office, he never held any government office.

Of course, it's not that he didn't want to take the position, but that he let go of the "ruthless words" when he was fired by the Kremlin, saying that he would only hold positions elected by popular votes in the future, and would never hold positions that were assigned or appointed by the Kremlin. kind of job.

Later, he also formed his own faction, first to attack the Duma, without success.

He turned his goal to the Kremlin again, but he didn't even get the candidacy.

It cannot be said that Kasyanov’s ability is not good because of consecutive failures. After all, he has become one of the representatives of the opposition at that time. Of course, he cannot be allowed to enter the Duma or even participate in the general election...

Just such a staunch opposition figure, Kasyanov's daily job is to hate the government and the Kremlin, and he especially likes to target someone.

He has to pick out some flaws in any policy issued by the government, and he has to accept interviews with European and American media every few days to criticize the current government.

But just like that, no one did anything to him. Speaking of which, Ke Gong is sometimes very humane and nostalgic.

After all, Kasyanov did make a lot of contributions during his tenure, and the country's economy has grown rapidly year after year in recent years.

That was not only due to Mikhail, Kasyanov also made a great contribution silently!
Especially in the country's foreign debt, Kasyanov can be described as a real expert, and he is also one of the few "expert" talents among government officials.

Kasyanov's tenure in office is considered by many to be one of the most productive economic periods in modern Russian history.

Between 2000 and 2004, Russia's GDP grew by an average of 6.8% per year.

This fostered rapid growth in personal income, and wages and salaries began to grow at an average rate of 20% per year.

The number of poor people fell from 2000 million in 4200 to 2004 million in 2400.

The National Bank's gold and foreign exchange reserves rose from $330 billion to $870 billion, and the state budget ran without any deficits during these years!
Behind this series of numbers, all represent Kasyanov's excellent work performance.

…………

Wang Ye held a briefing in his hand, which was the Kremlin's evaluation of Kasyanov when he announced his resignation.

"Dear citizens of Russia!

According to Article 117 of the National Constitution, I have made a decision to resign the head of the government department (that is, the general L).

This decision has nothing to do with the performance of the previous president's work effect.

During his tenure, his overall performance was satisfactory and effective..."

In the entire announcement, when it came to the evaluation of Kasyanov, it was all positive, and did not express any dissatisfaction.

It shows that the Kremlin did not dismiss Kasyanov because of his inability to work, but something else.

Of course, Wang Ye naturally knew what the real reason was.

He seldom dealt with Kasyanov in the past, and it was also for this reason. He knew that this guy would lose power and offend the Kremlin, so why did he go over there?

But now that Kasyanov has resigned, Wang Ye thinks that it is time to get in touch with him!

Not for anything else, but for Kasyanov's ability in the economic field, as well as his good influence and popularity overseas. This is a rare talent.

Although Wang Ye has a very clear understanding of the future development of the world, he has not studied economics and finance in a systematic way after all, so he can be regarded as a "monk halfway".

Therefore, he can formulate a general strategic direction, but the specific implementation depends on the professionals below.

If Kasyanov can be recruited to help him with the big infrastructure project, it is estimated that the work efficiency will be higher and the effect will be better.

But before contacting Kasyanov, Wang Ye had to personally understand the Kremlin's attitude.

But don't cause the Kremlin to be dissatisfied with him because he reused Kasyanov, then the loss outweighs the gain...

…………

As usual, when talking about such "private" topics, Wang Ye would ask Gebrev to go to Turandot for dinner.

Still in his private private room, Wang Ye and Gobrev sat opposite each other, chatting happily while enjoying delicious food.

After chatting about light topics for a while, Wang Ye changed his words and said:

"I remember the first time I visited a foreign country with a delegation, I went to China with Kasyanov, and that time was quite rewarding, helping Yukos and Gazprom to get a century-old order.

Hey, I didn't expect that in just over two years, I would now be the Deputy Speaker of the Duma, while Kasyanov..."

But what happened, Wang Ye didn't explain, just sighed.

But it was clear that Gobrev understood what he wanted to say.

He nodded in agreement, thought for a while, and then said:
"Kasyanov's work ability is very strong, and under his leadership in the past few years, the overall performance of the government is also competent.

However, he may be a good hand in economics, but he is not a qualified leader.

He...was too close to the liberals!

Moreover, in the previous period, Kasyanov and the Kremlin had many different opinions on the major issue of the direction of national development.

If the policies of the Kremlin cannot be guaranteed to be implemented, then what is left for him to do. "

What he said was very straightforward, which was equivalent to telling Wang Ye directly that although Kasyanov was very capable, he had a "difference" and could not be reused!
Wang Ye smiled and said jokingly: "A few months ago, I also saw a media criticizing Kasyanov, saying that he was like a pretentious peacock, spreading his feathers and putting mirrors everywhere. Appreciate yourself."

Gobrev also smiled, nodded and said, "Indeed, when he first took office, Kasyanov was still very humble. It may also be that he has indeed made achievements in the past few years, and gradually became arrogant, even for The orders of the Kremlin began to be violated. If political opinions disagree, we cannot continue to cooperate. That's why..."

"Then I understand! However, who do you plan to appoint to succeed Kasyanov? This candidate should be determined soon. After all, there are many agencies in the government, and it is impossible that there is no one to coordinate the management." Wang Karma asked tentatively.

Gobrev pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "To tell you the truth, there is no confirmed candidate yet."

Wang Ye was a little surprised. Kasyanov was already taken down, so why didn't he even confirm the candidate.

He thought that the Kremlin had already chosen someone.

"This... There will always be a target candidate, this position cannot always be vacant." Wang Ye said speechlessly.

Gobrev grinned bitterly, "Hey, who said otherwise.

Originally, I tried to persuade... your adoptive father said that Kasyanov would be kicked out after a certain successor, but Kasyanov has been too shameful recently.

Especially yesterday morning, when the Kremlin sent an official document to the government, asking Kasyanov to advance it, who knew he would call and ask why he made such a decision without consulting him, and said that he would refuse implement.

So Ni Yifu couldn't wait any longer, and issued the order directly in the afternoon. "

Wang Ye also grinned wryly, sometimes the changes in the upper echelons are so trifling.

There was no thrilling struggle behind it, and no well-thought-out decision, just a decision made on the spur of the moment.

If outsiders know about this, wouldn't it feel like a joke!

These words, Gebrev can say in front of himself, but he would definitely not reveal it to someone else.

After all, where is the relationship between Wang Ye and Ke Gong, this is the real "one of us"!
Gobrev looked at Wang Ye and said with a smile, "Actually, you are the most suitable!"

Wang Ye quickly waved his hand, "Don't! I'm not interested in this position at all! I've done a good job on the Duma side, and I don't want to go to the government's side to wade into troubled waters."

That's right, after the change of Duma this time, Wang Ye can basically be said to have taken control of the situation.

How comfortable he is as the first deputy speaker, and also serves as the director of two high-ranking committees.

He has real power without being too showy, which is in line with his low-key personality!
Why do you have to go to the government? Everyone knows that there is the fiercest faction fighting there.

The so-called "cabinet" on Da Mao's side is different from that in Europe and America.

The cabinets in Europe and the United States are nominated by the president, and they can be appointed after the approval of the parliament. The nominated candidates are of course people who are trusted by the president or from a faction.

But Da Mao's side is not!

Nominally, the Kremlin still nominates the candidate for the president, and the Duma voted to pass it, but you must know that the president himself is a non-factional person, and the president and ministers he appoints cannot all come from one faction, but from various factions. There are people from all factions.

Although this ensures that a certain faction will not be dominant, it also leads to factions in the government fighting with each other and inefficiency.

Kasyanov is a liberal!

It's not the same for Ke Gong, who used him for four years...

In terms of employing people, Kegong still looks at ability first, and then other things.

Of course, if you have to fight against Ke Gong in everything, then no matter how powerful you are!
…………

Of course Gobrev knew that Wang Ye was unwilling to do this drudgery, and it looked good on the surface, but in fact he was very restricted.

Just like what Kasyanov said to the Kremlin in his previous life, after stepping down from the position of general manager, he no longer intends to be the kind of appointed or appointed official, but to be an elected official. Position!
There is a huge difference between the two!
Those who are appointed and appointed are various positions in the government. The highest is the general secretary, the lower is the ministers of various ministries, and there are various positions below.

These positions, on the surface, also look very beautiful, and they have a lot of power.

But after all, it is under the jurisdiction of others. Once there is a disagreement with the above, or someone is eyeing your position, the immediate boss can remove your position with a document!

Even if you have worked hard for this position for most of your life...

But those positions obtained through elections are different.

Seats such as the Duma, the Kremlin, the governor, and the state legislatures are all elected.

Once you take these positions, during your fixed tenure, no one can trouble you, only you trouble others...

There is no need to worry about the consequences of being dismissed for offending someone.

Wang Ye is now the "Invisible Speaker" of the Duma!
From a legal point of view, no one can directly manage him, and no one is qualified to fire him, so of course he doesn't want to be that lousy president.

So after being rejected by Wang Ye, Gobrev was not disappointed at all. He never thought that Wang Ye would be willing to take up this position.

He just smiled and asked him, "Then is there anyone on your side to recommend? Any faction is fine, but it's best to have rich political experience and be good at economic work."

Wang Ye frowned and thought for a while, it seems that there really is no such person around him...

But he suddenly thought of a candidate, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "I think Medeff can try it!"

Gobrev was a little surprised. He asked Wang Ye: "Medev? Do you think he is competent? He should be the deputy director of your National Economic Council now, oh, and he is also the president of Gazprom. And the Kremlin's economic adviser."

Apparently, although Medjeff has now entered the inner circle of the Hiravik Group, he has not yet become a real core figure.

Otherwise, Gobrev would not have said the same thing.

Wang Ye nodded without hesitation and said:
"I think he's fine!
You see, he seems to be almost 40 years old this year, and he has been in politics for nearly 20 years, which is definitely considered a wealth of experience in politics.

Still from Petersburg to Moscow, from the Kremlin to Gazprom, and then to the State Economic Council, they are basically responsible for economic-related work, and they have done an excellent job. "

Hearing what he said, Gobrev also felt that it was quite reliable, at least for the time being, he couldn't think of a more suitable candidate than Medeff.

What's more, Wang Ye's recommendation of Medjeff must be selfless, because Medjeff is a Petersburg faction with "roots and young people", and he is Kremlin's younger brother!

Moreover, the relationship between Medjeff and Wang Ye is very ordinary. Before joining the National Economic Council, the two had almost no contact.

He nodded and said, "It's good that you recommended this candidate. I'll talk to your adoptive father tomorrow."

A smile appeared on Wang Ye's face, and it was indeed a good choice to push Medeff out, especially for himself.

Just wait and see, there will be good shows in the future.

People from the liberal faction are definitely not willing to let Medjeeff come to power so easily, and they will definitely "snipe" him!

Even within the Silavik Group, there will be many people who are dissatisfied with letting Medjev take this position.

Why, everyone has "worked hard" and made contributions to the faction.

Now I have a good opportunity, but let such a "young" junior take the lead!
At that time, there will be a "big fight", and Wang Ye can easily sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

No matter who wins or loses, it is a good thing for him!
　On the first day of the month, ask for a monthly pass!
