Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth

Chapter 512: Chapter 512: Three Trillion Bar_1

April 30, the sky is clear and blue.

In the morning, Wang Ye, Kasianov, and Aleksey as well as all the representatives from their delegation are ready to move!

Everyone rode together to the Great Hall again.

This time, they are attending the contract signing ceremony.

The oil and gas cooperation plan has been approved by both sides, and the contract will be officially finalized today.

This is a critical matter, so Kasianov is bound not to miss it.

Not only did he have to come, he has to make an appearance at the signing ceremony...

Of course, Kasianov is the core of the delegation and it would be unthinkable to proceed without him in such an event.

On the Chinese side, President Zhu will also attend.

Wang Ye and Director Li, as the direct negotiators, were actually relegated to supporting roles...

......

Media reporters are naturally indispensable at the signing ceremony, as they were coming not only from major Chinese news outlets.

The Russian delegation did not miss a single reporter, all were present, including Rossiyana.

The well-prepared stage was encompassed by both countries’ enormous national flags flanking on either side, the theme of the signing ceremony was written in both Chinese and Russian in the center.

"Successful signing of the cooperation plan in the energy field between China and Russia"

A bit lengthy...

Next to the stage, there are long-led cameras and video cameras encircling, including the good spots taken only by major media outlets!

Rows of chairs were placed behind for the guests and reporters attending the signing ceremony.

As for the stage, a few tables are also set up.

Whoever has the privilege to sit on these must be real big shots.

Clearly, there are only three on the Russian side, Kasianov, Wang Ye, and Aleksey.

On the Chinese side, there are President Zhu, Director Li, and General Huang.

......

Rossiyana sat below, watching Wang Ye on stage with his confident demeanor, secretly gritting her teeth.

It’s not that she’s angry at anything else, but rather annoyed that during their last coffee chat, this lad eventually fooled her, then left her alone over there. He was far from being a gentleman!

However, Rossiyana was proud of Wang Ye for being able to pull off such a huge deal...

No, she should be happy for her country!

She has seen how the domestic economy has been lagging these past few years.

Now Wang Ye has earned a massive amount of foreign exchange for the country. Even if the exact figure is unknown, it’s bound to be staggering.

This is exactly what the Russian economy needs as an "adrenaline shot"!

It should also relieve some of her father-in-law’s pressures. Wang Ye has certainly won Rossiyana’s "approval" so far.

It seems this young man can really make waves.

Appearing in Moscow’s business circles and the political arena for just a year, he has made quite a few significant impacts.

She must keep a closer eye on him in the future, as he’s bound to give quite a few breaking news...

......

"Honorable guests, members of the press, good morning!

On this festive day, between China and Russia..."

On stage, the host has already started the opening speech with a passionate voice, the signing ceremony is about to begin!

Following the host’s opening, President Zhu and Kasianov both delivered their speeches.

Their remarks basically contained similar content, about "friendship", "friendly cooperation", "mutual win" and so on...

Although reporters below the stage were also photographing, their enthusiasm wasn’t very high.

Because everyone knows that the real protagonist today isn’t those two, even though they are high-ranking.

The real protagonist is that quiet young man sitting there, with a smile on his face!

Being journalists, they all have their own information sources. Despite the secrecy of the oil and gas negotiations this time.

But everyone has managed to probe some information.

Apparently, this is the largest contract in the history of the global energy industry!

The amount is outrageously high...

And the person who put forth this proposal and led the negotiations all along is that young man!

Many Chinese journalists have privately asked their Russian counterparts about this person named "Mikhail".

In fact, when they met Mikhail at the airport, everyone was interested in him and took many photos.

The reasons were primarily his young age and, of course, his "Oriental features"...

Originally, it was definitely good news, but unfortunately, the higher authorities stated that foreign guest privacy should be protected. Clear photos were therefore not allowed to be published.

Thus, last time when they released the news, those pictures that didn’t clearly show Mikhail’s face had to be used regrettably.

Some questioned why pictures of everyone else in the Russian delegation could be published, but not Mikhail’s.

The higher department also explained that, after all, Mikhail was too young to hold such a high position. This kind of news is not suitable for being released on regular media as it could lead to undesirable reactions...

Everyone then agreed.

If such a character had appeared at home, truth be told, it wouldn’t be suitable for promotion either...

......

After Kasianov and President Zhu had finished their speeches, finally it was Wang Ye’s team’s turn to deliver theirs.

However, they were very pragmatic, talking only about comprehensive cooperation in the oil and gas field between both sides. Using Russian energy to support domestic industrial development, both sides benefit mutually and win together!

After a brief speech, the official contract was signed.

The three, Wang Ye, Aleksey, and Director Li, sat at the table and signed their respective names on the agreement.

When they stood and exchanged contracts, thunderous applause resonated from the scene, and flashlights lit up from below the stage like twinkling stars.

This was a moment to witness history!

The three of them stood smiling at the stage, facing the crowd below, letting everyone take their photos.

After a moment, when the applause subsided, the host started the press conference segment.

The journalists down below were eager to try, they all had so many questions to ask.

Rossiyana, sitting in the front row, raised her hand high and waved vigorously, wanting to be the first to ask the question.

Perhaps being considerate to the guest that came from far away, or because she was quite conspicuous among a group of male journalists, Rossiyana got the first chance to ask the question.

She stood up anxiously and asked, "Member Mikhail, can the transaction amount of the contract be made public now?"

This question is also what every journalist on site is most concerned about!

Every journalist wanted to know, how huge a contract it was that the signing ceremony was conducted with such pomp and circumstance!

With a slight smile, Wang Ye calmly replied, "Actually, this contract is a long-term cooperation agreement, and the price of oil and gas is not fixed, so there isn’t an exact figure that I can tell everyone."

Rossiyana immediately followed up, "There must be an estimated amount, right! What is that figure?"

After some slight contemplation, Wang Ye knew that this figure wasn’t exactly a secret and can be disclosed.

He then raised three fingers, and said in a composed manner:

"From three hundred billion US dollars to start with."
