Chapter 583: Chapter 583: Celebrity Interview_1

The call was from Rossiyana, the female journalist he had met on his last overseas visit.

She wanted to do an interview with Wang Ye, as they had previously agreed.

At the time, Wang Ye was joking, but since he found out that she was the adopted daughter of that man, he felt obligated to oblige.

The interview took place in the Duma office, and besides Rossiyana, there was the director, cameraman, assistant and others.

There were a lot of people, making the office feel slightly crowded.

According to Rossiyana, the aim was to authentically depict Wang Ye’s daily working environment.

Wang Ye didn’t really get it, but since Rossiyana requested it, he agreed to do the interview there.

...

Both of them took their respective seats in the small reception area of the office, which was located in front of the desk with two single sofas and a small coffee table.

The camera was aimed at the reception area, with Wang Ye’s desk in the background.

The national flag displayed behind the desk and the golden double-headed eagle national emblem on the wall were all captured in the camera’s frame, providing a perfect backdrop.

After all, the interviewee wasn’t just a businessman, he was also a rising star in the political arena, holding positions such as a Duma member and a member of the Economic Committee!

Compared to Wang Ye’s achievements in business, Rossiyana was more interested in the series of bold moves he made after entering politics.

Behind the camera, the director gave an "OK" sign, and the interview officially began.

Through the camera’s viewfinder, one could clearly see Wang Ye and Rossiyana sitting diagonally from each other.

They were around the same age, both outstanding in their looks as well as their careers.

The director was tempted to exclaim what good looks they had.

Rossiyana was wearing a silky, form-fitting black dress adorned with a pearl brooch at the neckline which made her skin look even more delicate and fair.

Combined with her long golden curls, blue eyes, and impressive figure, she looked stunning, especially among the Russians.

Wang Ye was dressed in a formal dark blue suit, white shirt, and a floral tie.

The pointed leather shoes on his feet were so shiny they reflected the chandelier on the ceiling.

Rossiyana began the interview with a smile, introducing the guest of honor, Wang Ye, with all his titles.

When it came to listing Wang Ye’s titles, she rambled on for nearly two minutes. After finishing, she sneakily took a breath.

No help for it, Wang Ye held too many titles. Perhaps he was the interviewee with the most responsibilities she had ever interviewed, bar none!

...

"Mr. Mikhail, I’ve just introduced your numerous positions. Have I missed anything? After all, I’m not very familiar with your business affairs." Rossiyana asked with a smile.

Wang Ye nodded, "You’ve covered everything quite comprehensively. The main roles are these."

The unspoken message was that there were some roles that were not introduced.

For example, the Wagner Security Company and the Siberian gold mine, which Rossiyana didn’t manage to introduce.

He didn’t know whether she truly didn’t know or purposely omitted them, but it didn’t matter.

"Mr. Mikhail’s achievements in business are astonishing. Many viewers may not know that the Yukos Group’s acquisition of the Siberian Oil Company and the China-Russia oil and gas century cooperation were all promoted by Mr. Mikhail himself! Many people may be wondering and want to know, how could Mr. Mikhail achieve these impressive feats, is there a secret behind it?" Rossiyana asked in a guiding manner.

This was how interviews generally proceeded, the host would cleverly guide and indirectly compliment the interviewee.

Just because Rossiyana was behaving so normally today, Wang Ye felt that something was amiss...

Didn’t this girl hold a grudge against him?

During the overseas visit, she had tried all sorts of ways to mess with him. Why had she suddenly changed her tune, now cooperating so smoothly with him?

But he didn’t have time to ponder it, the camera was pointed right at him.

After a brief pause, he smiled and began to respond:

"Actually, there’s no secret to it. Whether in dealing with people or doing things, one just needs to treat others with sincerity, and they will reciprocate with trust.

During business negotiations, one should not only think about their own interests, but also consider the demands of the other party.

If a balance can be achieved and a win-win situation created, there will be no negotiations that can’t be conducted.

The acquisition of the Siberian Oil Company was like this, as were the Sino-Russian oil and gas negotiations..."

Of course, Wang Ye could not reveal the secrets behind his moves. What he showed to the public was always his bright side.

As for the darker side, let it stay hidden...

Could he tell Rossiyana that in order to acquire the Siberian Oil Company, he planned an assassination and cunningly seized an oligarch’s assets?

Or could he tell Rossiyana that since he was not really Russian, but Chinese, China had provided him with some favoritism in some areas, and quickly agreed to a cooperation that would have taken years to negotiate?

Only a few people knew these things, they couldn’t be disclosed to the public!

"Mr. Mikhail has the reputation of being a representative of the younger generation and is the youngest among the recent Duma members.

During the election stage, you showed extraordinary political talent, and your campaign manifesto was impressive.

After entering the Duma, Mr. Mikhail was even more outstanding, particularly in the recent dispute over the oil pipeline route, where he put the Ministry of Energy in a difficult position and embarrassed many people from the Ministry of Energy.

I’d like to ask on behalf of the viewers, why you, so young, can have such profound knowledge of niche topics.

To tell you the truth, I didn’t even know we had such an environmental protection bill in the country."

When it came to his election manifesto, Wang Ye smiled. What did he say at the time?

"More job opportunities, higher wages, better infrastructure, free vodka..."

And in Chukotka, he fulfilled most of these promises.

Every year, there was free vodka distribution, locals could collect it with their passports.

Moreover, since the launch of the Siberian gold mine, it definitely provided more job opportunities locally, offered good salary, and constructed several new roads...

Unlike other politicians who made empty promises during elections and then forgot all about it once elected, he genuinely did something for his voters!

Although it was also required for the operation of the gold mine and therefore conveniently done, it was still a major achievement.

At the very least, compared to other congressmen, Wang Ye could confidently say that he deserved the votes from the people of Chukotka!
