Chapter 458: Chapter 458 Too Many Old Foxes_1

In regard to the difficulties that Wang Ye encountered, it was clear that the two had different perspectives.

Gavriil had long considered Wang Ye as "one of his own", because it was under his "strong recommendation" that Wang Ye gradually drew closer to the Kremlin.

Moreover, during this process, Gavriil had helped Wang Ye quite a bit, all of which brought their relationship closer and closer.

It was obvious that Wang Ye’s rise in the last six months was very aggressive!

Whether in business or in the political arena, Wang Ye was advancing on all fronts, rocketing upwards like he was on a rocket!

For Gavriil, this was definitely something he was happy to see, because the more outstanding Wang Ye’s performance, the greater his future achievements, the more that could help Gavriil, providing him with substantial assistance.

At the very least, in the face of Puding, Gavriil’s position would become more and more stable.

In the faction, with Wang Ye as a powerful ally, his voice would carry more weight!

But for Puding, the issues that Gavriil considered were not the key points.

Because he was the "most powerful" one!

Although he also hoped to have more and more talented individuals beneath him, more young people showing potential.

But he didn’t care about who it was!

Mikhail would be fine, XX Mountain could do it, XX Ski also wouldn’t be a problem, XX Nov would also work...

Anyway, whoever grew up, would be used by him in the future!

So, he didn’t need to do too much, only needed to let his subordinates fight and compete for growth like "raising gu".

Only when a subordinate he particularly favored encountered an insurmountable problem, would he possibly step in to provide a little help.

Or perhaps, he might plan a path for a promising young person to follow in the future.

But the difficulties and problems encountered on that path, he would prefer the subordinates to solve with their own abilities and strength!

Without a doubt, Mikhail was the young man he favored the most recently.

So, he pushed at the right moment and got Mikhail into the Duma Council. This was not only a "reward" for Mikhail, but also a convenient way for him to enter the political arena!

But whether he can stand out in the Duma, whether he can obtain significant influence and real power, that would depend on Mikhail himself to fight for.

If after a period of time, Mikhail were to shine again, overcoming all difficulties and problems, becoming one of the most powerful figures in the Duma.

Then he would consider this kid’s future seriously.

Because at that time, in his eyes, Mikhail would be considered worthy of being entrusted with important tasks...

......

After hearing what Puding said, Gavriil was a little unwilling, "So...we just watch Misha out of his pocket to support those nearly bankrupt design bureaus? The most outrageous part is, even with a big investment, it’s very hard to save those design bureaus and airplane factories!"

Puding offered a slight smile, dismissively saying:

"Where did Misha’s money come from?

It all came from the country and the people!

Letting him give back a portion to the country and society, there is no issue.

As for whether he can save and develop the United Aviation Group, it depends on his capabilities and his vision.

Logically, those design bureaus and aircraft factories, with their sound technical accumulation and good industrial base, do have a chance of making it."

Although he dare not "agree" with Puding’s words, Gavriil wisely didn’t argue, understanding Puding’s character.

Once Puding has made a judgement, no persuasion will have any effect!

......

After returning to his own office, Gavriil thought and thought, but he still felt a bit uneasy.

He picked up the landline and called Wang Ye.

"Hello, Misha, it’s me, Gavriil."

Wang Ye on the other end had just returned from Rilinov’s office, preparing to pack up and leave the office when he received Gavriil’s call.

He responded enthusiastically: "Hello Uncle Gavriil."

"I heard about you becoming the director of United Aviation Group, I wanted to ask, are you certain of it?" Gavriil asked seriously.

A bitter smile appeared on Wang Ye’s face, why was everyone asking about this matter today, seeming more concerned than himself!

However, Wang Ye also understood, both Rilinov and Gabruilai, they were worried for his well-being, which was why they inquired about this.

He patiently answered: "If I had to talk about certainty, then truly, there is none. However, I have considered that in the worst-case scenario, to uphold this group company from bankruptcy, and prevent the core technical staff from leaving, I can still manage."

Upon hearing Wang Ye’s response, Gavriil was somewhat relieved.

Because it was clear from his response that Wang Ye did not blindly optimise, he was treating this matter cautiously and had prepared for the worst-case scenario.

"That’s good, that’s all good!

But I have to remind you that by coming into the Economic Committee, that’s not the same as a normal Duma member.

Whenever a problem is encountered, you have to seriously consider it!

This is because it’s very possible to slip into a deep abyss, from where it’s incredibly difficult to get back out.

Politics and business are not the same, the worst case scenario in business is just losing some money, but in politics, the consequences of failure can be unbearable for most people! "

Gavriil advised earnestly.

Wang Ye quickly expressed gratitude, Gavriil was right. In business, relying on his "forward-looking" experience, he might be able to achieve success after success, with everything going smoothly!

But in the political circle, he was indeed a greenhorn. If he wasn’t careful, he could easily be manipulated by those old foxes, so he had to be more careful in the future.

......

Today, Wang Ye really wasn’t getting a break. As soon as Gavriil hung up the phone, Khodorkovsky’s call came in.

Wang Ye found it strange, how were these people so well-informed!

The Economic Committee meeting had just ended not too long ago, but it seems like the news of him becoming the director of the United Aviation Group was already known far and wide...

As one would expect, Khodorkovsky was also worried that Wang Ye had been "tricked".

Wang Ye was again patient in his explanation, saying that he’d braced himself mentally, and even if he had to pay out of his own pocket to maintain the group company, and gain some political capital, he didn’t plan on making any significant moves!

Only then did Khodorkovsky feel satisfied and hung up the phone. Spending some money was not an issue for him or Wang Ye.

As long as Wang Ye remained clear-headed and hadn’t become so arrogant to be tricked by others, there was no issue at all!

......

However, through today’s events, Wang Ye became more vigilant.

It seems that upon entering the Duma, especially the Economic Committee, the people and situations he was dealing with were no longer on the previous level.

There were too many old foxes, from now on, he had to tread carefully every step of the way...
