Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth

Chapter 1051: Chapter 926: For the Country and the People

The scene was abuzz; everyone was unclear about what Wang Ye really meant.

What does it mean to say that sharing one’s own affairs is boasting...

Dania glanced at Wang Ye, perplexed, wondering if Mikhail had been driven to desperation by her, starting to spout nonsense?

"Do you know what you are talking about?

Chairman Mikhail, please don’t treat everyone as fools, thank you.

Are you implying you have a side unknown to us?

What now, are you not planning to keep up the façade any longer and reveal your true self?"

Dania interjected sarcastically.

Wang Ye was not angered, merely smiled lightly, glanced at Dania, and said:

"Miss Dania, you know too little about me.

You only know that I am dubbed an oligarch, a billionaire, and thus you naturally assume my daily life is extremely luxurious and decadent.

However, I can say responsibly...

Oh, there are so many journalists here, and they will note every word I say, so I probably wouldn’t lie in front of so many journalists, would I?

Journalist friends, wouldn’t you agree?"

Halfway through, Wang Ye also interacted with the journalists.

Surrounding journalists chuckled lightly; one journalist shouted, "Absolutely, the events that occur here today and the words spoken by both parties will all be accurately captured by our cameras."

Wang Ye nodded and continued:

"Well, perhaps Miss Dania wouldn’t believe that even now, in Moscow, throughout Russia, and even in any city worldwide, I do not own any property under my name!"

At that moment, the crowd burst into an uproar because Wang Ye’s statement was incredibly unexpected!

This must be a joke!

Mikhail is often referred to by many media as "the richest in all Russia," "Russia’s wealthiest," "one of the top X richest worldwide," "the biggest oligarch," and other such titles!

And he claims to not own even a single property...

Dania blurted out, "You must be joking! With your wealth, how could you not own even one house! Where do you usually live then?"

Wang Ye was indeed not deceiving her...

Under this "Mikhail" title, he truly owned no personal property!

It’s not that he couldn’t afford it, but Wang Ye felt there was no need, as he usually lived so comfortably on the top floor of the Xiao Ying Hotel.

An entire floor was his personal space!

There was a 24-hour service restaurant, all kinds of gourmet food, and the building had fitness centers, bowling alleys, indoor swimming pools, and more!

Plus, all of this was his own property!

It’s a hundred times better than living alone in a deserted mansion in the suburbs.

But this matter could be explained not only as Wang Ye not needing to buy, but also differently...

Wang Ye was now providing a different explanation!

His face full of sincerity, his tone extremely earnest, he said solemnly:

"I knew many people wouldn’t believe it, but it is the truth!

I do not own a single property in my name!

So, from that perspective, I am even less fortunate than everyone present, especially the owners here to protest, because you all own properties in the city center.

Why not buy a house?

This question was asked of me before, and I usually just smiled without responding.

But today, as this question arises again, especially before so many attentive eyes, I feel compelled to answer."

The venue was utterly silent; everyone held their breath in anticipation, eager to understand why such a wealthy man hadn’t bought even a single house.

If it had been on any regular day, this matter wouldn’t have been a big deal.

Upon hearing it, people might have just taken it as a curious anecdote and laughed it off.

But everyone had come today for a protest about housing demolition, making them particularly sensitive to this topic.

With the atmosphere already charged to this point, hearing that the famously rich Mikhail didn’t personally own any property naturally caused immense surprise, leaving everyone baffled about the reason.

The journalists were especially excited—this was big news!

Mikhail had always been a focal point for news, garnering much attention for anything related to him.

However, he rarely accepted interviews and kept a low profile, his travels always heavily guarded, making it difficult for journalists to approach him.

Thus, news about his personal life was almost never reported by journalists.

First, they couldn’t get the information; second, no journalist dared fabricate stories.

After all, he wasn’t just any celebrity or ordinary rich person but a Big Shot with real power.

Spreading rumors about him would be asking for trouble...

......

He paused, giving everyone a moment to react.

Wang Ye then continued: "Why not buy a house? The reason is quite simple.

I once promised to the voters in a public speech when I first campaigned for Congress in Chukotka that once elected as a Duma member, I would devote myself to the public good and seek benefits for the people!

I would place the interests of the nation and its people foremost, setting aside personal matters.

Until the country has grown strong and the people live without worries, I could never relax nor indulge in a luxurious lifestyle.

For this reason, I have not, and will not, purchase mansions or estates!"
