Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth

Chapter 486: Chapter 486 No Choice_1

Korokolli is indeed highly efficient.

Three days after the dinner, the city bureau where Vladimir worked received a notice from the department.

The Director was relieved of his duties in the city bureau and re-assigned to another position in the department.

The Deputy Director was promoted to Director!

It was clear that in the struggle between the two major factions of the city bureau, the Deputy Director’s faction emerged victorious.

Although the result came a bit quickly, it was within many people’s expectations, after all, the Deputy Director was part of the Kremlin faction, with strong backing.

But, at the same time, Vladimir was promoted to the position of Deputy Director, becoming the second in command in the bureau, which shocked other people in the bureau...

You should know that according to seniority, this position should not have been Vladimir’s. He jumped directly from logistics head to Deputy Director, a promotion that put him in the top ten of the bureau.

Now, bypassing so many colleagues who were senior and held higher positions than him, he jumped directly to the position of Deputy Director, which made him second in the bureau’s ranking!

Therefore, after the announcement of the appointments and dismissals, the newly promoted Director—who was the former Deputy Director—personally came to Vladimir’s office to congratulate him and indirectly tried to find out who had helped him.

"Really didn’t expect it, Vladimir. I originally planned to arrange a vice-director position for you, but the department directly promoted you to Deputy Director. I heard someone spoke up for you at the ministerial meeting, do you know any leaders in the department?"

His words also held a hint of claiming credit, and demonstrated to Vladimir that he had not forgotten about him.

Even if there was no one in the department to speak up for Vladimir, he could still be a deputy director!

Of course, definitely not the Deputy Director...

Vladimir had an inscrutable expression and vaguely said, "I didn’t really know anyone, I just had dinner with Minister Korokolli once, and we had a pretty decent relationship. He actually suggested for me to work in the department, but I prefer working in the city bureau, I’m used to it here, and I know all my colleagues here too."

The Director was deeply respectful!

He really hadn’t expected that Vladimir could be so close with Korokolli, even able to have dinner together!

Truth be told, although he too was backed by some powerful people and belonged to the same faction as Korokolli, given his status, he had not had the opportunity to even talk to Korokolli, much less have a meal together.

Wang Ye didn’t know about Vladimir flexing his muscles.

Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care, every class of people has their survival tricks.

Small characters like Vladimir, backed by so-called big-shots, could benefit immensely even if others only guessed about it and couldn’t confirm it.

......

On the other hand, those sent by Petrov have arrived in Burkina Faso with Mubu.

As soon as they got off the plane, the few Wagner employees were shocked.

Because they have never seen such a... impoverished country!

They have been to some so-called poor countries, like those in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, but none is as poor as Burkina Faso.

In the 21st century, there are still many people in the capital of Burkina Faso who don’t have clothes to wear or shoes to cover their feet!

"I see a lot of people not wearing shoes. Is this a custom here?" someone asked Mubu curiously.

Mubu smiled bitterly and said, "They just can’t afford shoes. You see, our country’s per capita GDP last year was less than 200 US dollars, and per capita annual income was less than 50 US dollars!"

This really scared the Wagner employees.

A per capita annual income of 50 US dollars...

Even if they didn’t buy anything, and only bought food, they probably still wouldn’t be able to afford enough!

Really can’t figure out how the people of this country survive.

Mubu wasn’t exaggerating. Burkina Faso really has nothing!

Some countries are poor but at least have some resources or special products.

But Burkina Faso is poor through and through, without any resources!

The French Chicken (France) colonized this place for a long time, as Africa is traditionally within their sphere of influence. Even now, French is still the official language in many parts of Africa.

Several French wealthy businessmen bought the governor’s position in Burkina Faso in succession.

In the old rules, the governorship of the colonies was a business that needed to be bought with money.

Of course, once you become a governor, not only can you satisfy your vanity of being a ruler, but if you run it well, it can bring you great wealth.

However, in Burkina Faso, successive governors failed to make any money, instead losing everything they had!

The worst was the first governor, who ended up broke due to the harsh conditions of the area and the lack of proper roads.

Believing in the saying "richness comes with good roads," he spent money from his own pocket to build roads locally, hoping that once the roads were completed, he could transport the local resources and special products to make a fortune.

But, the roads were built and then, after a deep understanding of the locality, he was devastated to find that there was nothing here, only a large group of black people...

This governor went bankrupt directly!

The second governor was also a non-believer and given the closed-off information in those years, he came to take over with a lot of enthusiasm. But, instead, within a month he realized that this place was a sinkhole. He ran off directly, even giving up his governorship...

......

Mubu’s father sent two broken-down Toyotas to pick them up and take them back to the tribe.

These two cars had been used for many years, and besides the horn, which did not honk, every other part was noisy!

But such cars were reliable and durable, which suited the road conditions in Burkina Faso well, as regular cars basically could not be driven here.

As there was not a single flat road to be found, even in the capital!

After a day of bumping around, they finally reached Mubu’s tribe.

In actual fact, it was no longer as backward here, at the very least, the people of their tribe did not live in the primitive forest but had formed a small town.

And the hostile tribe, was a town nearby.

Mubu’s family was, after all, the tribal chieftain and was the wealthiest in the tribe, so they had a big mansion!

Although there were no fancy villas, it was clean and tidy.

Upon returning home, Mubu found that the situation was even more serious than what his father had described on the phone.

In particular, his father’s injury was quite serious, and he was now unable to get out of bed and walk.

As soon as they met, his father held Mubu’s hand and said laborously, "Mubu, I guess I won’t last. I’m leaving the tribe in your hands."

Truth be told, Mubu really wanted to refuse.

Having studied in Moscow, he had seen the world outside.

Compared to staying here to succeed his father as the chieftain, he would rather be an ordinary university student in the big city of Moscow!

But he had no choice, this was his responsibility...
