Chapter 1085: Chapter 943 Impending Storm

In the Duma Building, every Congressman who encountered him on the web stopped in their tracks to greet him.

Wang Ye also smiled and nodded in response, continuing on his way to his office.

Behind him, the gazes of the crowd were a bit complicated...

Just as he reached his office, his assistant Yelena hurried in, standing in front of Wang Ye’s desk to report:

"Boss, I’ve just received a message that Kornov and nearly all forces within the first faction were in contact yesterday, but so far no one has disclosed what they discussed.

Of course, he was merely seeking their votes of rejection in today’s congress.

The critical question is, will those Congressmen from the Krakow Group really choose to support Luzhikov at this crucial time?

Their faction and the Moscow Faction are old rivals!

Logically, after meeting with Kornov, they should have outright refused and then released a statement saying they would never save Luzhikov..."

The commotion Kornov caused yesterday was of course noticed by those interested, and everyone knew what he was trying to do.

After all, the Moscow Faction was facing the threat of annihilation, and it would have been extremely abnormal if Kornov, a core member of the faction, had done nothing!

Even a cornered rabbit will bite; not to mention an old force in the political arena like them, the power they unleash when faced with a crisis can be quite astonishing.

But the current issue is whether he has achieved the desired result, whether he has settled terms with those Congressmen within the Krakow Group, that is the most crucial part!

Normally, when someone like him approaches so many people for discussion, details of the conversation would have leaked out to some extent.

Yet strangely, the faction leaders who met with Kornov are all tight-lipped, without a hint of information leaking out.

Yelena has been much more anxious than Wang Ye these past few days.

As Wang Ye’s "Chief Assistant," primarily responsible for governmental affairs, she understands how much the vote at this Duma Congress could impact her boss, so she’s naturally very concerned.

When Kornov began his campaign yesterday, Yelena started paying attention.

She also tried to gather intelligence through various channels, hoping to understand the effect of Kornov’s activities so she could inform her boss in advance and help him to be mentally prepared or to make the right response.

Unfortunately, despite all her efforts, she still couldn’t find any useful information.

That’s why Yelena felt it was very abnormal and came to report to Wang Ye first thing in the morning.

...

Wang Ye nodded, indicating that he understood and motioned for Yelena to leave, then he buried his head in a document once again.

This was a preliminary plan for the construction of a Commercial Plaza in the CBD Center, submitted by the Yukos Group.

Of course, it’s only an initial plan and the final one has yet to be determined.

Such a large amount of investment, and the positioning of this CBD Center area is to be a top-notch worldwide business district!

Therefore, Wang Ye’s requirements for every building that will be constructed here are very high!

The architectural style must be distinctive, have enough strong characteristics to make it memorable at a glance, and even the building specifications, materials used, façade, and others are benchmarked against world-class standards.

To sum it up, the CBD Center area may not be the largest worldwide, and the enterprises it houses may not be the top in the world, but the buildings within must vie for the title of the world’s number one!

This was the only option available.

Because the enterprises Wang Ye has brought in are already the top-notch companies inside Russia, and foreign businesses are not very interested in investing here.

If this CBD is to have enough highlights or to be presentable, then the only option is to make an effort in architecture.

Wang Ye is not only the driving force behind the construction of the CBD Center, but he is also a major shareholder or chairman of several large group companies.

Therefore, these group companies are very concerned about this matter, and each has established special offices dedicated to the preparation and construction work of the CBD Area buildings.

During this period, the government has been handling demolitions, leveling land, and processing various procedures and permits.

The large group companies have also been busy, each contacting world-renowned architectural design companies to work on their building plans based on their invested amount and the "purchased" land area.

The Yukos Group has the highest efficiency, having already sent the first draft of their architectural plan to Wang Ye’s office.

Wang Ye briefly looked it over, and he had to admit this plan showcased extravagance!

The biggest feature of Yukos’s building is one word, tall!

They aim to build the tallest building in all of Europe, even ranking among the top two in the world!

The reason I say top two is that the Burj Khalifa in Dubai is already under construction and expected to be operational in five years.

This structure is set to reach more than eight hundred meters tall, incomparable to anything else...

Bear in mind that at the time of the Burj Khalifa’s construction, the tallest buildings in the world were just under four hundred and fifty meters.

This basically doubled the standard for the world’s tallest building!

However, the Burj Khalifa’s height of eight hundred plus meters is not entirely "solid," for its structural height is actually 828 meters, but the roof height is only 585 meters.

That means over two hundred meters is not actual building height, but simply a long spire.
