Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Too Big a Background_1

Wang Ye was chatting with the president’s secretary while Kaja, sitting on the side, was looking out the window, overwhelmed with emotions.

Inside and outside the car were literally two different worlds!

It’s not about how luxurious the Mercedes-Benz was. Kaja had seen the world, after all, she was a little singer, usually driving around in a Porsche, so she didn’t care about the Mercedes-Benz she was riding in now.

But the point was, this Mercedes-Benz, it was an official vehicle!

Especially in the situation where the police car was paving the way, enjoying the privilege, and the eyes of all the pedestrians on the roadside.

This was far from the feeling she could have driving her Porsche in Moscow....

Simply put, this was what you would call being above others!

This feeling was so addictive to Kaja that she had never experienced it before!

Unfortunately, Simferopol was too small. It took less than ten minutes to get out of the airport and they had already reached the gate of the Presidential Palace.

The escort vehicles turned aside one after another, only the car Wang Ye and his party were riding in stopped at the entrance of the Presidential Palace.

As soon as the car stopped, several uniformed staff quickly came forward and opened the door.

Wang Ye bent over to get out of the car and saw that a red carpet was laid from the car door to the door of the Presidential Palace!

He sighed in his heart that no matter what kind of person President Meshkov was, at least he did the surface work too well...

"Mr. Mikhail, please come in. The president is already waiting for you," the secretary said politely.

Of course, this time Wang Ye came as an "investor". No matter how much Meshkov respected him, he couldn’t personally greet him outside the gate.

The man is after all a "president", the rules and dignity must be upheld!

...

Wang Ye and Kaja followed the secretary inside, while Xie Liaosha and the others were led to another place for rest by other staff members.

Crimea is just a small place after all, the so-called Presidential Palace is not too grand, the area is not very large.

Through the gate, one can see the buildings inside, an old-fashioned European-style small building with white stone decorations outside and high pointed roofs.

In front of the building, a few people were standing, among them was Yuri, known to Wang Ye.

The secretary led Wang Ye to the front of the building, as he approached, a man in his fifties came up with a beaming smile.

"Mr. Mikhail, this is our President Meshkov! Mr. President, this is Mr. Mikhail," the secretary quickly introduced.

In fact, there was no need for him to introduce; Meshkov’s eyes had long been fixed on Wang Ye.

"Welcome to Simferopol!" Meshkov extended his hand.

"Thank you, Mr. President, for your warm hospitality."

Wang Ye also extended his hand, and the two men clasped tightly together.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, everyone surrounded Meshkov and Wang Ye and went inside.

This was not an official formal meeting, but rather more like a private get-together.

However, after Meshkov’s introduction, Wang Ye found out that among the people present were several senior executives of the Crimea Republic.

Obviously, these people were Meshkov’s confidants.

A group of people sat down in a large reception room inside the building, and the service staff served tea.

Meshkov smiled at Wang Ye and said, "I have already heard from Mr. Yuri that you plan to invest in building a luxury hotel in Yalta and do international tourism business?"

Wang Ye nodded and replied, "Yes, there is such a plan. A friend’s family is in Yalta; I have been to that place with her once, seen the beautiful scenery there, and learned about the history of Yalta. I feel that the climate, environment and the human and historical aspects there are all suitable for tourism, so I am considering investing."

"Haha, then I must thank Mr. Mikhail on behalf of the people of Yalta. Yalta has always been a tourist hotspot, but it has been in decline in recent years due to the poor economy in Eastern Europe. As long as people are willing to invest and do business, I believe the city can certainly regain its former glory. By the way, I also heard that Mr. Mikhail and Mr. Hofchinco of Yukos Group have a close relationship?" Meshkov asked tentatively.

Wang Ye’s relationship with Khodorkovsky was not a secret at all. As long as someone wanted to find out, they could certainly find out.

So, Wang Ye bluntly said, "He is my uncle."

A gleam of joy flashed in Meshkov’s eyes, and the smile on his face became even brighter. He warmly patted Wang Ye’s arm and said, "Mr. Hofchinco is a very successful entrepreneur, one of the energy giants. With you, Mr. Mikhail, doing such a big business at such a young age, I believe your achievements in the future will not be inferior to those of Mr. Hofchinco."

Wang Ye modestly said, "Mr. President, you flatter me. What little achievement I have, I owe it all to Uncle Hofchinco’s help. Of course, I have also received a lot of help from other seniors such as Uncle Gebruilai, Uncle A Bu etc., they have helped me a great deal."

Meshkov was taken aback, and unconsciously asked, "I know A Bu is also a business tycoon who is also currently serving as the Governor of Chukotka. Gebruilai... is he the one from the Kremlin?"

"Yes, the reason why I want to do the tourism and hotel business so big this time is also because of Uncle Gebruilai’s support. He helped me get the only gambling stick in Russia, which is why I thought of doing international tourism. The first batch of cities selected were Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Yalta!" Wang Ye said calmly.

Don’t think that he is "showing off" his connections.

To deal with an old political fox like Meshkov, you have to make him understand how powerful your background is!

So powerful that he dare not have any "weird ideas"...

Otherwise, this is on his territory, and if he wants to pinch you, isn’t it easy?

As expected, after Wang Ye introduced himself in this way, Meshkov showed great respect!

Especially the name Gebruilai had a huge impact on him!

That’s the big boss of the Kremlin and the trusted confidant of The Emperor!

As a pro-Russian faction, how could Meshkov not know this person...

"Hahaha, I didn’t realize you’re so close to Gebruilai. That’s a good thing, we’re all family, and he and I are old friends too." Meshkov seemed even more familiar.

In fact, Meshkov had some doubts in his heart.

He totally didn’t expect that the young man standing in front of him had such a big background!

Originally, he had already looked up to Wang Ye.... no, Mikhail.

Khodorkovsky’s nephew, coming to invest in the Crimea Peninsula, these two points alone were enough for Meshkov to keep his manners towards Wang Ye.

After all, everyone knows that Khodorkovsky is now the richest man in Russia!

And here in Crimea, poor as hell, they couldn’t wait to pull these wealthy people in to invest.

Straightforwardly, someone like Khodorkovsky, a wealthy man of this level, even a leak from the cracks of his fingers could significantly boost the GDP of the Crimea Republic!
