Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 789: Great Again_1

Chapter 789: Chapter 789: Great Again_1

Of course, there’s a prerequisite for this scenario.

That is, the faction that enters the fray early must have enough competitiveness to threaten the other factions.

Therefore, at the beginning, Khodorkovsky’s faction didn’t alert the first and second factions, but once Wang Ye’s third faction entered the fray, they simply couldn’t sit still...

Wang Ye’s third faction was indeed a threat to their seats in the Duma!

There are only 450 seats in the Duma, and when a faction’s seats increase, it’s clear that the seats of other factions will decrease.

It’s all corresponding!

Clearly, no faction would willingly sit back and watch other factions take their seats.

Because that would trigger a series of chain reactions, and malicious ones at that...

When the number of seats is reduced, it means that the faction’s influence in the Duma will decrease. This will also intensify the faction’s internal strife, as every high hill wants to get those limited Duma seats.

Factional infighting could lead to a decline in the cohesion of the faction. There may even be situations where lawmakers from the same faction express different opinions on the same policy.

It can even trigger distrust among faction members towards core figures like the party leader, thinking that under your leadership, the faction is not progressing but retreating.

Perhaps by then, a part of the faction will join forces to stage a "palace coup"....

In conclusion, whether Grezlov, Krov, and others can maintain their faction’s Duma seats from decreasing is now the biggest test of their work performance.

Whether it’s from personal considerations or for the development of the faction, they must also participate in the competition.

.......

The situation has become chaotic. The major factions have started their election promotion offensive ahead of schedule, showing off their powers separately as if crossing the sea to grab promotional "positions".

It has to be said that, in this aspect, Wang Ye’s third faction doesn’t have much advantage.

They are just a minor faction. Despite holding the title of "the third in the Duma", compared to the first and second factions, they fall short in many aspects.

Moreover, the first and second factions both have their own media outlets, but the third faction does not...

It’s only that Wang Ye made an early move, signing contracts with some private media enterprises in advance, buying enough advertising slots or newspaper and magazine editions. Otherwise, even if he had money, it might not be easy to spend it!

Now, after listening to Rossiyana’s report, Wang Ye also furrowed his brows.

He is well aware of the strength of the first and second factions. The first faction doesn’t need to be mentioned, as you can tell from their seats in the Duma...

The second faction shouldn’t be overlooked either. It has been the ’local villain’ of Moscow State, loaded with many former high-level officials from the Former Soviet Era, with impeccable credentials and contacts!

If he wants to win the planned seats in the Duma in next year’s election, he still has a lot of work to do.

For next year’s election target, Wang Ye is not being overly ambitious.

He thinks that as long as the third faction can win fifty Duma seats, it is a total victory!

That is, one-ninth of the total seats in the Duma, enough to make them one of the leading factions.

Whether to rise to become the second faction, or remain as number three, will depend on the struggle between the first and second factions.

If the first faction can keep their original seats, then the second faction will become the third.

But if the second faction can bite off a piece of the first faction, the ranking would remain the same, but the "dominance" of the first faction in the Duma wouldn’t be what it is now!

That is also Wang Ye’s plan, gradually "weakening" the power of the first faction. He’s not trying to replace them, but at least the first faction can’t have an almost monopoly-like position, right?

If the Duma becomes a one-man show, that would just be boring.

At least there should be a force to keep the first faction in check, so that everyone can calmly discuss many issues.

As for this "burden," Wang Ye felt obliged to carry it on his shoulders!

He’s not in a hurry and doesn’t plan to achieve this in the short term; he plans to proceed in several steps.

In each Duma election, he plans to increase the number of the faction’s seats slightly, so after a few Duma elections...

......

After pondering for a moment, Wang Ye remembered something and smiled: "Since everyone has started the promotion, have we decided on our campaign slogan for our faction? By the way, what is my uncle’s faction campaign slogan?"

Participating in an election, you always need to shout slogans. This way, it’s easier to leave a deep impression on the voters and maximize the effect of the promotion.

Just like the one from the Kremlin, a few years ago when he ran for election, his slogan was: "Give me twenty years, and I’ll give you a strong Russia"!

Although I don’t know how effective this slogan was, it’s clear that this sentence has indeed become one of Puding’s "brands"!

This slogan of his also aligns with people’s wish at that time for the country to become strong.

Rossiyana immediately answered, "Our faction hasn’t decided yet, we’re currently using the slogan from past years. Your uncle’s faction’s election slogan is ’We need change’!"

"We need change..." Wang Ye muttered the phrase again.

The slogan is acceptable, but not particularly good, as it lacks momentum!

The reason I say it’s acceptable is because this phrase is quite in line with reality and also resonates with the current situation in Russia.

The overall economic environment is not prosperous, the unemployment rate is high, wage treatment is poor, the birth rate has been declining for years...

There’s so much that needs to be changed!

Such an election slogan, if shouted, should gain the approval of the majority of voters.

"By the way, the second faction’s slogan this year is ’Let’s be together, only with love is there a future!’" Rossiyana added.

She has been following up on election matters for next year. She has been dealing with various media outlets, collecting information from various aspects, making full use of her expertise.

And you know, Rossiyana does quite well in this regard, like a fish in water.

Wang Ye couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this. ’Only with love is there a future’?

This slogan from the second faction is too vague and impractical; it’s as if they want to generate electricity with love!

He knows very well how important a meaningful and memorable campaign slogan is.

Especially for a politician like him, the slogan shouted during his first major election can even become a mark that accompanies his political career!

Last time during the congressional election, since it was just for an ordinary Duma Congressman and he was relying on pulling votes himself, and also because he was only running in Chukotka, there was no need for such an "upscale" slogan.

Because there, no matter how impressive the slogan, it wouldn’t be as effective as a couple of bottles of vodka...

But this time was different. This time, he was leading the entire faction in a nationwide election. He had to take it seriously.

What slogan should he use to represent his ideals?

An idea flashed through Wang Ye’s mind and he blurted out: "Let our faction’s election slogan be: ’Let Russia Be Great Again’!"
