Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth -
Chapter 370: Ten-Year Hundred Billion Plan_1
Chapter 370: Chapter 370: Ten-Year Hundred Billion Plan_1
The car door opened, and a young and beautiful girl stepped out, which immediately led everyone to a realization.
It was the newly elected so-called youngest female councilor. It wasn’t surprising, as rumour had it that this girl had a very wealthy boyfriend!
Since the city was small, and personal relationships were not so complicated, any news spread throughout the town very quickly.
In this year’s city council election, a "dark horse" emerged, making a big impression despite her early twenties.
Even before the election, President Meshkov personally campaigned for her, which was clearly unusual.
So, many people began to inquire about Angelina.
No one knew where the information came from, but now everyone knew that Angelina, the girl, had powerful connections!
Her boyfriend was rumored to be the nephew of a Russian oligarch, with a fortune worth billions!
The funding for Meshkov’s election supposedly came from her boyfriend. Since Angelina was from Yalta, it made sense that she would be a councilor as a side job.
Honestly, nobody generally wanted to offend a person with such a background.
After all, there was no direct conflict of interest. In contrast, if they could get on good terms with her, they might need her help in the future.
So when they saw Angelina driving a sports car to the meeting today, they all smiled at one another and took turns to warmly welcome her.
Angelina was still dressed as a professional and sophisticated career woman.
She was wearing a Chanel professional suit, low heeled black sheepskin boots, with her golden hair tied up high.
She took a light-colored cashmere coat from the passenger seat and draped it over herself when she got out of the car.
After greeting everyone, she entered the city council building.
...
The solemn city council room was under the leadership of the speaker, who was presiding over the meeting.
The main topic discussed today was how to develop the economy for the next five years. After all, everyone was a newly elected councilor and had to contribute to local development.
The city council not only had legislative power, but it could also advise on personnel removal and appointment in government agencies, economic development, and other issues. Its power was quite significant.
"According to the information I have, besides the Yalta Betting Entertainment Centre being built, it seems that there’s barely any foreign investment now.
Davarich and partners, the situation is serious! Look at the people of the Crimea Peninsula, almost one-third are unable to have enough to eat, they don’t have jobs!
It is an urgent task to resolve unemployment and enhance economic development! Along this journey, you all must not think it is just government affairs and is not related to us.
If you think so, then you are gravely mistaken!
Because every one of us councilors was voted on by the people, they elected us with the main purpose of leading them to a richer life, and to build a better Crimea Peninsula..."
The Speaker stood on the podium with a serious face, speaking with fervor.
It was silent beneath the podium, many were hanging their heads, flipping through various documents.
If it were discussing some law or replacing some higher official, everyone would be vying to speak, even arguing or fighting.
Because on such issues, everyone has their own stance and can voice it.
But when discussing economic matters, when it comes to attracting foreign investment, no one dares to speak.
Because very few councilors actually have the capability...
...
After a spell of passionate speech, the Speaker took a sip of water and glanced around beneath the podium.
Finding no one wanting to speak, he felt helpless.
Indeed, in recent years, let alone the Crimea Peninsula, even its "suzerain" Ukraine’s economy has also been in a mess, so poor that it’s almost ready to sell its underwear.
And the neighboring "suzerain" Russia, its economic development was also less than satisfactory.
It can even be said that the whole of Eastern Europe was still recovering from the turmoil a decade ago...
"Does anyone have a good idea to talk about? Don’t worry, as long as everyone is willing to find a way, even if it can’t be realized in the end, that’s also a good thing, isn’t it?" The Speaker tried to encourage everyone to speak freely.
Just then, a hand raised.
Among a sea of bowed heads, it stood out.
The Speaker was delighted and hurriedly gestured: "Councilor...Councilor Angelina, do you have anything to say? I know, the Yalta project has a certain connection with you. You just returned from Moscow. If you have other friends who want to invest in the Crimea Peninsula, please speak up. No matter what conditions, we can discuss."
As the Speaker, he has more information than a regular councilor.
This Angelina has quite a background!
Her boyfriend is Russian tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s nephew, Mikhail!
The Yalta’s Livadia Palace was bought by Mikhail, intending to turn it into a large-scale gambling entertainment center. This is the largest foreign investment in the whole Crimea Peninsula in the past ten years...
Now that Angelina raised her hand to speak, she might have a new investment!
With the Speaker’s permission, Angelina began her speech unhurriedly: "Just in time for today’s meeting, I have a major investment project to announce, let’s discuss it together."
Major investment project?
Not only was the Speaker immediately enthusiastic, but even the councilors who were looking down also lifted their heads and looked at Angelina.
In the city council, only when discussing foreign investment does everyone unite.
They work together, striving to seal the deal for the project.
After all, the Crimea Peninsula was so poor that even after their election, there were no benefits for the councilors.
If everyone wants to improve their lives, they must first boost the local economy. This is everyone’s consensus.
...
"This project was just finalized. Monsieur Mikhail, that’s the Russian businessman who invested in the Yalta Betting Entertainment Centre. He sent me an investment planning scheme."
While speaking, Angelina lifted a document in her hand.
She continued, "The core of this investment plan is to invest 10 billion US dollars in the Crimean Peninsula within ten years, aiming to..."
Her sentence was cut off by the uproar from the crowd.
Ten billion US dollars...
Has she gone mad?
All councilors present, including the Speaker, never dreamed of such an astronomical figure!
Everyone even wondered if selling all the land in the Crimea Peninsula would be worth ten billion US dollars...
