Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth

Chapter 550: Chapter 550: Invincible Everywhere_1

The meeting ended, and Wang Ye had just stepped out when his phone began to explode with messages before he even had a chance to return to his office!

Clearly, many people had been watching today’s meeting.

The first call came in from Khodorkovsky.

Khodorkovsky already knew the outcome before the meeting. Wang Ye had needed his cooperation for some of the actions he took, so he couldn’t keep it from him.

Of course, there was no need to keep it from Khodorkovsky either.

Even though he knew the outcome beforehand, Khodorkovsky was still pleased once the dust had settled. He was also greatly... impressed with Wang Ye!

If he had been the one to carry out this action,

Khodorkovsky knew he would have probably ended up in a "lose-lose" situation at best!

The Ministry of Energy wouldn’t be getting any advantages from him, and his proposal likely wouldn’t pass either.

But when Wang Ye stepped in, it was a win-win situation!

At least on the surface, China, Japan, and Russia were all winners...

After congratulating Wang Ye, he asked him to find some time to return to headquarters, where the board would host a celebration banquet for him!

Even though Khodorkovsky didn’t say it outright, it was clear that by solving this issue, Wang Ye’s reputation within Yukos Group would soar once again!

Even if he decided to "retire" now and let Wang Ye succeed him as chairman, probably no one would object...

......

As soon as he hung up with Khodorkovsky, he received a call from Aleksey.

This guy was clearly both shocked and delighted. He had actually come to the Duma today too, but he didn’t have the credentials to get into the meeting hall and was waiting outside for the results.

Aleksey didn’t have much hope initially because no matter how you looked at it, the Ministry of Energy seemed to hold all the cards!

But in the end, Wang Ye pulled off a "miraculous comeback"!

"I already know about the new pipeline proposal you brought up. It’s very reasonable! We, the Russian Gas Industry, will support it unconditionally!..."

He rattled on through the phone, expressing that the Russian Gas Industry Group stood with Wang Ye!

As for the new proposal, others might not understand, but Aleksey certainly did.

In the end, the original "Anda Line" would probably still be implemented!

As for that other branch pipeline, let’s see. Either way, Aleksey didn’t think little Ben would spend the money to build a branch pipeline...

This time, the interests of both Yukos Group and the Russian Gas Industry had been protected, and no one could criticize them for "disregarding national interests".

Wang Ye’s proposal seemed to take into account all aspects of national interests.

As for whether little Ben would accept it or not, well, that was his business.

Regardless, they could no longer pin the "blame" on either Yukos Group or the Russian Gas Industry!

After this period of interactions, the relationship between Aleksey and Wang Ye has grown rapidly.

Despite their significant age difference, they have become fast friends!

Primarily because Aleksey viewed Wang Ye as a young man who was a good fit for him in terms of actions and personality, and because he was capable and manipulative, with limitless potential...

So, he has set his mind on befriending him.

Wang Ye also held a good opinion of Aleksey, who is decisive in his actions and straightforward.

Moreover, with his extensive network and strong abilities, he can indeed become a valuable ally!

After all, to tussle in the political and business worlds, he must have a group of like-minded allies. Going solo wouldn’t get him far.

Assistant teams, capable subordinates, and professional managers, Wang Ye has already begun to develop these.

As for his own network, he has befriended many influential people!

Like Gavriil, Shao Yigu, A Bu, and Aleksey.

......

Wang Ye was making calls in the hallway outside the conference room.

The passing congressmen all nodded and smiled at him.

If someone were to bring up Mikhail before, many congressmen might have doubts, thinking his rapid rise was due to connections in high places.

But after today’s meeting, everyone’s perception of Mikhail had completely changed!

After hanging up with Aleksey, Wang Ye put his phone in his jacket pocket and was about to head back to his office upstairs.

Then he heard someone say, "Misha, you did great today! Your new proposal was very thoughtful. I think it’s feasible."

Wang Ye turned his head in surprise to see that it was Gavriil!

"Uncle Gebruilai, when did you come here?"

He didn’t know when Gavriil had arrived at the Duma, and he hadn’t seen him in the meeting hall either.

Under normal circumstances, even if Gavriil wasn’t on the stage, he should have been in the front row!

Gavriil chuckled,"Yes, I came to observe. I was sitting in the last row just now, you probably didn’t notice me. Anyway, I will report the content of today’s meeting to Mr. Puding. I believe he will also approve of your new proposal. This time, no one could raise any objections."

Gavriil highly praised Wang Ye’s performance!

He had to admit, the young man is a genius!

Pulling out the Department of Natural Resources, an "unimportant office," and using the Natural Resources Protection Law, a law few have heard of, he managed to leave the Ministry of Energy disgracefully defeated.

What impressed Gavriil more was that to completely cut off the Ministry of Energy’s retreat, Wang Ye even got several states in Siberia on board.

The local councils swiftly vetoed the Anna line proposal.

Although these were all carried out according to regular procedures, anyone with a bit of sense should be able to see the implications.

Mikhail was telling his opposition that while they controlled the Ministry of Energy, which is indeed a crucial department in the oil and gas industry,

And yes, the second faction is stronger than the third faction.

But don’t think that this means you can control everything.

In the end, the pipelines have to be laid in the regions along the route. Who has the final say in those regions?!

Once you’re on my turf, how do you plan to compete with me!

If the Ministry of Energy is smart, they shouldn’t bring this matter up again in the future...

Honestly cooperate with Yukos and the Russian Gas Industry, and Wang Ye wouldn’t mind sharing some of the "cake" with them.

Of course, how to divide the cake and how much to divide, that would depend on Wang Ye’s mood!

......

Upon receiving Gavriil’s affirmation, a bashful smile crossed Wang Ye’s face.

Modestly he said, "This wouldn’t have been possible without everyone’s help and guidance. If it were just me, I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish this. Of course, as long as I abandon my selfishness and work for the common good, everything will naturally go smoothly."

There he goes, starting to boast about himself.

Seeing this, Gavriil could only shake his head and smile bitterly, at a loss for words.
