Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth

Chapter 755: Chapter 755 Trouble at Home_1

Wang Ye was naturally unaware of what was happening in the Kremlin.

Gavriil wouldn’t tell him about such matters since they didn’t involve Wang Ye.

Although Khodorkovsky and Wang Ye were uncle and nephew, the Kremlin didn’t care much or rely on this relationship.

If it had been a year ago, they probably wouldn’t have even considered Wang Ye. If they wanted to handle Khodorkovsky, they would have "dealt with" Wang Ye as well.

But now, Wang Ye clearly mattered far more than Khodorkovsky!

The Kremlin subconsciously began to see Khodorkovsky and Wang Ye separately. As long as Wang Ye didn’t foolishly oppose the Kremlin, they basically wouldn’t bother him.

Regardless, Wang Ye was now a highly influential figure.

Regardless of his various positions, the things he had done were still appreciated by the Kremlin.

Even Puding once said, "Misha, that lad, is the future hope of the Russian political circle!"

Such an evaluation was indeed high praise...

.......

This "future hope," Wang Ye, had been busy dealing with family affairs these few days.

As the saying goes, it’s difficult for a public servant to settle family disputes, and Wang Ye was no exception.

Besides, his family didn’t know his true situation. They thought he was just doing business in Moscow and earning a good income.

A wealthy "boss" worth tens of millions!

With the help and "mentorship" of Wang Ye, his father had acquired the Flour Improver Factory in the county and transformed from a disillusioned public servant to the owner of the largest company in the county!

He could be described as prosperous and swift.

In such a small place, with such a "capable person," troubles were unavoidable.

For example, "asking for favors" from hometown folks and various friends and relatives.

A few days ago, some people from their hometown village came by.

Speaking of it, Wang Ye’s father was the first university student who stepped out of the village!

Well, strictly speaking, he was just a community college student, not a real undergraduate.

But in that era, being a community college student was quite amazing, let’s not forget, it was the 1980s.

So after Wang Ye’s father graduated, he got a public job. Even though he didn’t become a high-ranking official, he was definitely not bad in a small place.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to send Wang Ye to study abroad.

Over the years, Wang Ye’s father had also helped the hometown folks with some affairs. For example, if some of the kids from his numerous aunts got high school diplomas, he tried his best to get them a job.

But given Wang Ye’s father’s position and power, those jobs were nothing remarkable: some were at the grassroots level or county enterprise staff. Many lacked establishment.

Even so, it was quite impressive, and he was always warmly welcomed every time he returned to his hometown.

Even if he only returned to his hometown once or twice a year, he still held prestige.

In the past, relatives from his hometown came to ask Wang Ye’s father for help, rarely to borrow money. Because everyone knew that like Wang Ye’s father who was not greedy, relying solely on a fixed salary, he didn’t have much money.

So, under normal circumstances, people felt embarrassed to ask for money, unless there was a particularly urgent situation, such as an elderly family member becoming ill or a child needing to go to school. In those situations, Wang Ye’s father would help a bit.

Moreover, the money that was lent out, everyone knew, basically could not be repaid...

.......

Last year during the New Year, Wang Ye didn’t return to China, but his father and mother went back to their hometown once.

People feel happy during festive occasions. Also, having a new car, when they went back, everyone in their village knew that the Wang family was getting rich!

Driving a big Audi worth several hundred thousand, and rumored to have become a big company boss...

Moreover, Wang Ye’s father, with his generous nature, gave the younger generations in the village New Year’s money during the New Year in the village last year. Every handout was a thousand yuan!

This made everyone realize that the Wang family indeed had money, things were different now.

Fame brings trouble as growing fat does to pigs. Since after the New Year, a lot of people from their hometown came to visit their relatives.

Basically, all with the same intention: to borrow money......

The reasons were various. Some people wanted to build a new house but were a bit short of money. After much thought, only Wang Ye’s father had the money, so they came to borrow some.

Some needed to marry a wife, but were short of the wedding gift. This was a matter of life, so they had to help.

And some, wanted to do business, but lacked the capital...

Anyway, there were all kinds of strange reasons. In the beginning, Wang Ye’s father was quite patient. After hearing about the hardships of the people from his hometown, although he couldn’t always offer help, he helped when he could.

Twenty thousand, thirty thousand, he directly gave out without asking for an IOU. People in his hometown weren’t accustomed to that.

But the result was, more and more people came. At first, there were some with connections, and Wang Ye’s father felt embarrassed to refuse.

But later, many unrelated people, who were just from the same village and had no connection or interaction before, also came to borrow money.

And they asked for a hundred or two hundred thousand at a time, their appetite getting bigger and bigger.

Then Wang Ye’s father felt a bit overwhelmed. Even if he had money, he couldn’t afford such "waste".

Besides, this company was invested in by Wang Ye. In the end, it wasn’t his money, it was his son’s.

If he messed up the company, how would he face his son in the future.

So, he called Wang Ye, told him about the issue, and asked for his opinion.

.......

After listening, Wang Ye felt overwhelmed.

Actually, he really wanted to say, just lend the money, it wouldn’t cost much!

But Wang Ye also understood that human desires were endless. Maybe now, tens of thousands could satisfy people.

But what if they were not satisfied in the future? When they ask for millions or even more, will his father still lend them?

If he did, then no matter how much money he had, he could not afford such squandering.

If he didn’t, then the benefactor would become an enemy.

He understood the principle of gratitude turning into resentment over money exchanges well.

"Ah, it’s all my fault. I should have been firm from the start and not lent a penny. It’s easy to find an excuse, just saying the company is not mine, it’s a foreign investment, and I’m just the manager. Unfortunately, I softened at the time and lent some money, and then the situation completely spiraled out of control ..." His father was full of regret and remorse.

Even if it was something in his own home, however small, Wang Ye wouldn’t ignore it.

So, his mind, which was always focusing on national affairs, billions of large businesses, had to turn around.

He was wondering how he could eliminate the trouble at home once and for all...
