Chapter 510: Chapter 510 You Have Not Tried It_1

After communicating with Wang Ye now, Rossiyana realized she had made a big mistake!

That is, she underestimated this young man...

She never expected that not only did Wang Ye know her father-in-law, but also had a close relationship with him!

Jokingly, from the sound of it, her father-in-law had invited this guy to his secret residence for dinner more than once.

This is an honor that ordinary people dare not even think about.

Even she herself had only been there once...

Wasn’t this a case of domestic misunderstanding... opposing this guy...

Thinking of this, Rossiyana felt a bit embarrassed.

To hide her guilt, she fiddled with her hair and looked around, afraid to meet Wang Ye’s eyes directly.

She still insisted, "This is normal, after all, you are a member of the Economic Committee, and my father-in-law is also very concerned about domestic economic development. Inviting you is probably for consultation on some economic issues. However, I am quite curious. With your age and knowledge, are you really qualified to be a committee member?"

Wang Ye grinned.

Since he had already determined the identity of this girl, he didn’t want to offend her too much. After all, he had to give her father-in-law some respect.

He shrugged and said, "Is capability related to age?"

Rossiyana retorted:

"You are so young, where does the ability come from?

I am considered one of the best among my peers. I’m still pursuing my doctorate and working as a journalist.

I’m very curious about how you were elected as a member of the Duma....

Oh, it’s easy to become a Duma member, I know many people simply bought their ballots, and I guess you did the same.

What I’m really puzzled by is that the Economic Committee is not something ordinary members can join, it’s a very important department!

What’s even more outrageous is that an important task like oil and gas negotiations is also given to you.

This is a top priority matter that involves state finance revenue!

Won’t you mess it up..."

In the end, she still didn’t believe in Wang Ye’s ability.

But Wang Ye didn’t need to explain to her. He recognized that perhaps Rossiyana, with her prominent family background, her intelligence, and excellent learning ability, still lacks emotional intelligence.

She’s what they call a "naive sweetheart".

Clearly a little princess spoiled by her parents...

"Whether I am good or not, you haven’t tried me out, how would you know? These negotiations were assigned to me by my uncle, Khodorkovsky. If he trusts my capabilities, that’s all that matters. You have no say in it. Okay, it’s quite late now, time to go back to rest."

After saying that, Wang Ye drained the coffee cup in one gulp.

He put down the cup, stood up and was about to go back to sleep.

He left behind Rossiyana, who hadn’t reacted yet. She was mumbling to herself.

"You’re only twenty, is that considered mature..."

......

Wang Ye had a good night’s sleep and didn’t wake up until past nine in the morning.

After washing up and getting dressed, he found Yelena and Nova sitting in the living room, busy preparing the negotiation materials for today when he went out.

The table was filled with various data, materials, and maps.

Seeing Wang Ye come out, Yelena put down the materials in her hand and hurried over.

"Boss, Mr. Aleksey came to see you earlier. He said he wants to discuss the meeting with you after breakfast when he saw you hadn’t got up yet."

Wang Ye nodded, didn’t go down for breakfast, and instead called the restaurant below to send up a breakfast.

He listened to Yelena’s summary of the materials while eating breakfast.

The oil and gas negotiations involve a lot of things, not just price, procurement volume, and procurement period.

It also involves how to set up the pipeline, what route to take, who to design and construct, and who bears the construction cost!

All sorts of issues need to be determined through negotiation.

Of course, all these are premised on the parties first reaching an intention to cooperate...

If cooperation is not set, there is naturally no question of discussing these subsequent problems.

"According to the proposal given by Group Headquarters, the pipeline can go from Siberia’s Angarsk oilfield, south into Buryatia, then bypass Lake Baikal, east through Chita Region, and finally to northeast China. This pipeline route is relatively the shortest, the construction is more efficient, and the geographical conditions along the way are also quite suitable..."

Yelena reported in an orderly manner.

Wang Ye listened and nodded. This is a pipeline layout plan given by the Yukos Group Headquarters, referred to as the "Anda Line".

Of course, while this plan is the most suitable for the Yukos Group, whether it is suitable for China or more specifically, for the government, remains to be discussed...

"How much is the estimated cost of constructing this line?" Wang Ye asked.

"It’s roughly between two to three billion US dollars. This still depends on the negotiation results between the Group and the government. Normally, this would be the price." Yelena responded.

Wang Ye had a headache. Pipeline transportation is great in many ways!

It is both safe and convenient. Once built, it can be used for many years, and there is no need to worry about anything happening. The transportation cost is also low.

But it’s not without disadvantages.

The main issue is the high upfront investment!

There’s also the need for negotiations at the government level for demolition and construction along the way.

If the Yukos Group alone wants to build a pipeline up to two to three thousand kilometers long domestically, it’s clearly impossible.

For this matter, the government’s assistance is absolutely necessary.

Of course, for the government, this is a great thing, there is no reason for them not to support it.

But then, the issue of distributing benefits needs to be discussed...

......

After breakfast, Wang Ye didn’t call Aleksey over. After all, he didn’t have any appointments this morning, so he walked leisurely to Aleksey’s room.

The room door was left ajar. The sound of Aleksey’s phone call came from inside.

Wang Ye knocked on the door and entered, to find that Aleksey and his assistant were busy.

Seeing Wang Ye coming in, Aleksey swiftly motioned Wang Ye to sit down, indicating that he’d be done soon.

Sure enough, he quickly hung up the phone and sat down next to Wang Ye.

"Misha, are you prepared for this afternoon’s negotiation?"

Wang Ye laughed, and confidently said, "Everything that needs to be prepared is already done, just waiting for the result of the other party’s discussion."

"By the way, I thought of a question. That is, whether it’s transporting oil or natural gas, pipelines are needed. We can team up to set up pipelines, which would cut down a lot of costs." Aleksey said seriously.

This question is indeed key.

If the oil and gas contract can be signed, then his proposal is highly feasible.

Moreover, the Russian Gas Industry Group is a state-owned enterprise. If they negotiate with the government, it would save a lot of trouble.

After all, the relationship between the Yukos Group and upper levels isn’t that great...
