Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 676: The Final Judgment_1

Chapter 676: Chapter 676: The Final Judgment_1

When all the participating members had finished their "condemnations," Wang Ye, as the host of the meeting, made a summary speech.

Standing on the platform, looking down at Director Gudelaf standing on the stage below, Wang Ye began to speak:

"The Duma does not mean to target the police system; this questionnaire was initially intended to investigate the true thoughts of foreign businessmen.

To understand why our country cannot attract enough foreign investment.

However, when the collected questionnaires were analyzed, we were astonished to find that the obstacles to foreign investment are not our economic policies.

Nor is it infrastructure, let alone the lack of talents and resources.

The problem surprisingly lies in the unfriendly attitudes of the police personnel towards foreigners!

This finding is genuinely shocking!"

Wang Ye said with heartfelt regret, his tone absolutely sincere, and most of the congressmen were convinced without a doubt.

Because it is indeed strange, since the breakdown of the former Soviet Union, Russia has joined the "free society," and most industries have opened up to foreign investment with favorable policies.

Besides, Russia is rich in resources, cheap land, numerous talents, and ready for development.

However, it seems it should attract rapid economic development and foreign businessmen eager to invest.

But the actual effect is not ideal...

Except for a few industries, such as resources and finance, there are hardly any foreign businessmen willing to invest in other industries.

Many Members who do not understand economics find this topic puzzling.

But now that they’ve heard what Wang Ye said, it’s like a revelation!

Of course, if even the personal safety of foreign investors is not guaranteed, foreign businessmen will not want to invest here if they are constantly stopped by the police for passport checks and extortion.

Of course, some members who truly understand economics remain silent.

Because they don’t need to oppose Mikhail, after all, we are all Duma Members and stand on the same side.

.........

Wang Ye paused to give everyone some time to think.

After scanning the venue, his gaze rested on Gudelaf.

Feeling something, Gudelaf briefly made eye contact with Wang Ye before quickly looking away.

A man under the eaves has to bow his head!

This place is the Duma, Mikhail’s territory. He did not come here today to receive an award, but to be "interrogated"...

Wang Ye continued, "At first, I couldn’t believe these survey results.

I felt that our police system couldn’t possibly be so bad!

So, last weekend, I took a day off, slightly disguised my identity, and planned to experience it firsthand.

The location I chose was Weidenghan, which has many foreign tourists!

And, do you know what I encountered?"

Everyone looked up at Wang Ye, curious about his experience.

A Vice Speaker of Duma, touring in incognito, actually encountered some injustice?

Without keeping the audience in suspense for too long, Wang Ye quickly divulged the answer.

"As a result, I was taken to the police station by a patrol officer, just because I have an Asian face! And because I spoke up when they were bullying some foreign students!"

A ripple of shock spread across the conference hall!

The honorable Vice Speaker of Duma was taken to the police station by a mere patrol officer?!

That’s absurd!

Moreover, this incident is utterly inexcusable.

Because it is like challenging the entire Duma, affecting the dignity of every Duma Member!

Duma Members have judicial immunity after all.

Getting caught up in an uneven road or standing up for justice shouldn’t be enough to get detained, even if you’ve actually broken the law, it’s not a common patrol officer’s place to arrest you!

At this point, a Russian congressman suddenly stood up and angrily shouted, "I’ve been through that a few times! Just because I look like a Car City man, every time I walk on the street, I get stopped for questioning by one patrol officer after another, even after identifying myself as a Duma Member, their attitude remains rude!"

No one doubted the congressman’s claim because everyone knew that in Moscow, Russians could be subject to discrimination...

Especially in the eyes of the police, every Russian looks like a terrorist!

With the lead of someone sounding off, several more congressmen stood up, mainly Russians, accusing the "crimes" of police personnel one after another.

The venue started to resemble a public trial...

.........

The things these Members said, some were true but some not......

Some people were indeed speaking from experience, but maybe those experiences were from before they became Duma Members.

For someone who looks like a Russian in Moscow, it’s normal to be stopped for questioning and face troubles by the patrol officers.

Such experiences are not pleasant for anyone, thus deeply ingrained in memory.

But in the past, they were not Duma Members, or patrol offices didn’t really bother them, so they didn’t make a fuss about it.

Or to say from their personal capability, they couldn’t do anything about the patrol officers.

After all, they’re not from the same system. If they don’t respect you, because you’re a Duma Member, and don’t give you face, you can’t do anything about it.

But today, Deputy Speaker Mikhail initiated a public hearing on the Moscow Police System.

So, many people remembered their unpleasant experiences......

Taking this opportunity to kick the Moscow Police System when they’re down would not give them any psychological pressure!

There were also some congressmen who themselves had not been troubled by the police, but had heard about similar incidents.

So, now they treated those as their own experiences and narrated them.

Because they understood that this time Chairman Mikhail, with the "Force of Duma," was challenging the Moscow Police System!

They didn’t know what Chairman Mikhail’s goal was, but everyone was inclined to help their side, hence they sided with Deputy Speaker Mikhail...

.........

Wang Ye listened with objectivity as various congressmen took turns standing up, rebuking the numerous misdeeds of the Moscow Police.

Honestly, this was well within his expectations.

The members of the police system, especially those in Moscow, have had a notoriously bad reputation for a long time.

In the past, no one seriously went up against them.

But now, with himself leading the way and having the upper hand, there are definitely plenty of people looking for a chance to step on these police officers!

Just as he expected, the situation in the venue was unfolding as he anticipated...

In the end, when the venue gradually quietened down, Wang Ye raised his hand and signaled everyone to calm down.

He was preparing to make his final statement and pass the "verdict"...
