Chapter 790: Chapter 790: Talents are Hard to Find_1

In actual fact, Wang Ye’s slogan was "borrowed" from that understanding king of a later generation.

It has to be said, although the understanding king has many actions and statements that seem funny to outsiders, no one can deny his eloquence.

Passionate and extremely provocative!

This phrase "Make XX Great Again," at the time, was widespread throughout the world, even causing quite a stir amongst the rednecks in the United States...

But in truth, this phrase was even more appropriate in early 21st century Russia!

As glorious as the former Soviet Union was, that’s how pitiful Russia was at the beginning of the century!

Especially since they had fallen from the peak to the bottom in just over a decade. The voters in Russia had experienced the glory of that time, so when they found themselves in such a plight, they would naturally reminisce about the past!

Of course, they may not necessarily miss the system at the time, but the flourishing country and good quality of life...

That being said, Putin’s phrase "I will return a powerful XXX to you in twenty years," also conveys this sentiment.

But it’s pretty clear that, whether speaking or listening, Wang Ye’s phrase is more catchy and leaves a more profound impression!

Rossiyana’s eyes lit up when she heard it, she quickly said: "This slogan is fantastic! I am certain that this phrase will spread nationwide in the shortest possible time and every voter will remember it!"

This was her keen instincts as a "former media worker".

"Then let’s definitely use this one, you implement it as soon as possible, and let all faction members know." Wang Ye casually instructed.

Rossiyana nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but was called back by Wang Ye.

"Right, have you found a suitable candidate for the position I asked you about, the Faction Whip?" Wang Ye asked.

Perhaps many people are unfamiliar with the term "party whip".

This term is a political party noun, originating in the UK. It refers to the faction leader in parliament, in charge of faction discipline.

The duty functions to ensure that congressmen attend and act in line with the party’s stance.

"The party whip" is typically one person or it can be more.

In other countries, this position may be called something else, but the responsibilities are similar.

No faction in the Duma has yet set up this position. After all, the Duma here in Russia has been intermittent since its inception, in the beginning, it was just a signboard without any real power.

This organization only really came into its own after the collapse of the former Soviet Union in the 1990s.

Furthermore, the relationship between the various factions has been quite chaotic in recent years. The first faction, for instance, was only formed from several factions merging at the end of 2001.

The entire Duma can be said to be rather chaotic.

The third faction where Wang Ye belongs, aside from ordinary congressmen, only has the faction party leader.

The faction’s work was managed by the party leader’s office.

If this were the past, with fewer faction members and no real power, with fewer internal affairs, it wouldn’t be a problem.

But Wang Ye is planning to expand and strengthen his faction.

As the number of employees increases and operations become more complex, he can’t manage everything all on his own.

Therefore, he plans to learn from those old parliamentary assemblies in the UK and US, to introduce "the party whip" to assist in managing the faction’s day-to-day operations and supervise faction members, to enhance cohesion and "combat effectiveness".

This is indeed necessary.

Unfortunately, Rossiyana shook her head, replying: "There’s no suitable candidate, according to your requirements, this candidate not only needs to possess a keen sense of intuition, a smart mind, meticulous logic, but also needs to know all the members of the factions, carry themselves fairly, and have high prestige to win people over. In the faction, maybe besides you, Boss, we can’t find anyone who meets these criteria."

That’s pretty normal, Wang Ye’s requirements were too high, and the third faction isn’t a very large faction, it has a shallow foundation and not many members.

It would be surprising if they could find a suitable candidate.

Shaking his head with regret, Wang Ye wasn’t in any hurry. To him, this position is too important, acting as both his left and right arm, so he would rather lack than have the wrong candidate!

If he can’t find a suitable candidate among the existing faction members, then he would leave the position vacant, he could slowly find or even cultivate a suitable candidate.

But he must not rush it, and casually pick someone unsuitable.

Otherwise, it won’t help him at all and it might even have a negative effect...

...

While Wang Ye was busy preparing for next year’s election, he received a phone call from his cousin Ruan Xiaozhu.

"Yanzi and I have passed our thesis defense, we’re finally graduated, let’s have dinner together tonight to celebrate!" Ruan Xiaozhu excitedly said over the phone.

Wang Ye was stunned for a moment, he had been so busy lately that he had forgotten about it.

Indeed, his cousin Ruan Xiaozhu was graduating this year.

Looking at the time, it’s early July, which was the time for her thesis defense.

Ruan Xiaozhu must have been busy preparing for her defense recently, and she was also managing two small companies, so she was very busy, and it had been a while since she and Wang Ye had met.

In the past, she would often go to Xiao Ying Hotel to "scrounge" a meal.

Coming back to his senses, Wang Ye readily said: "Of course we should celebrate, I’ll treat you and Yanzi to dinner tonight. By the way, has Xiao Gang come back yet?"

"No, Song Xiaogang is still in Petersburg, Yanzi came back alone to participate in the defense. Alas, it’s a pity that she will be studying at Petersburg University in the future, so her visits back to Moscow will be less frequent," Ruan Xiaozhu sighed.

Song Xiaogang and Yanzi are dating, and the two were sent by Wang Ye to manage the gambling center in Petersburg.

In order to work better there, Song Xiaogang has transferred to Petersburg University. Now that Yanzi is graduating from undergrad, naturally, she chooses to go to Petersburg University for her postgraduate studies.

Wang Ye nodded, nonchalantly said: "Okay, let’s celebrate your graduation tonight with Nalan Yaqi. By the way, do you want to dine at Turandot or Xiao Ying Hotel?"

"We often eat at Turandot and Xiao Ying Hotel, we’re getting tired of it. Let’s try something new today, a new Chinese restaurant has opened on Arbat Street, and it’s said to have a great taste. The chef is from China. Let’s give it a try?" Ruan Xiaozhu laughed.

Hearing her say this, Wang Ye was also interested.

In Moscow, there are not many Chinese restaurants, and even fewer that offer authentic taste!

Although Wang Ye is not picky, he can eat both Chinese and Western food, but after a while, he misses the food from home.

Since a new Chinese restaurant has opened, he certainly mustn’t miss out.

So he readily replied: "Okay! Let’s go to the new restaurant then, how about around six in the evening? Yaqi and I will come together."
