Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 826 - 814: Strong Alliance

Chapter 826: Chapter 814: Strong Alliance

Rossiyana’s deep blue eyes stared unwaveringly at Wang Ye, a hint of nervousness in her heart.

She didn’t have much interest in the so-called grand duke title.

Because that was just the so-called glory of the family, which mattered little to her, even if she were to inherit the title, what could it do?

She knew very well that the Russia of today no longer had a place for the Romanov family.

Bearing the title of grand duke would not only bring no advantages but might even bring quite a few annoyances!

Therefore, what made her more anxious was the marriage alliance proposed by her father-in-law.

To become Mikhail’s wife would definitely be much more "profitable" than being any grand duke!

Any clear-headed person could see this, no need to mention the future prospects, even the Mikhail of today was almost at the peak!

In terms of wealth, Mikhail was already recognized as the richest man in Russia, with a fortune of several tens of billions of US dollars, ranking high in the whole world.

It’s just that many of his group companies haven’t gone public, with finances not disclosed, so others can’t really tell how much wealth he owns.

But Rossiyana, who had been his assistant for a while, did have some understanding of the financial data of those group companies.

A rough estimate, just Mikhail’s shares in Yukos Group and Russian Gas Industry Group, were already worth over thirty billion US dollars!

This did not even take into account his other companies, such as Russian Auto Group, United Airlines, Polar Bear Investment, Siberian Gold, Xiao Ying Group, Crimea Investment Company, and so on...

Mind you, these uncounted companies are also giants in their respective fields, any random one might have a market value of over ten billion US dollars!

If one were to really calculate, perhaps Mikhail’s fortune could reach a shockingly exaggerated figure!

In terms of status, Deputy Speaker Duma, Third Faction Party Leader (perhaps Second Faction next year), Chairman of the Economic Committee...

In the high echelons of the political arena, he was also one of the very top people.

Going further up, maybe the only step up was Duma Speaker.

Perhaps his actual power wasn’t as great as her father-in-law’s, but in terms of status and influence, he could almost sit on an equal footing with her father-in-law!

What was more exaggerated was that Mikhail was only in his early twenties this year, even two years younger than herself...

As for being tall and robust, with handsome features, he didn’t lack those external conditions either.

On some forum websites, Mikhail had long become the Prince Charming in the eyes of thousands of Russian girls.

There was even a song written called "If You Want to Marry, Marry a Man like Mikhail," filled with adoration for Misha, and this song was widely circulated among Russian girls...

Rossiyana was also a young girl who naturally yearned for love.

Among the men she had come in contact with, or rather, knew of, Mikhail was the best choice, without a doubt!

Moreover, their relationship had already gone beyond that stage, her heart was already fully invested in Mikhail.

It was because Mikhail hadn’t made his intentions clear before, and since they were both still quite young, they just dragged things out.

But now, it was as if her father-in-law had spoken for her, letting Wang Ye state his position...

Naturally, she was very anxious, fearing that Wang Ye would outright refuse.

......

Wang Ye’s mind was rapidly considering the pros and cons of accepting or declining.

In fact, considering his current status and identity, marriage indeed required more consideration of its impact on his career and business, and could not be purely based on emotion.

Perhaps tales of "preferring beauty over the kingdom" could be passed down for ages, but the problem was, the current Wang Ye did not have the privilege to act on such whims!

In his present situation, one careless move could mean a total loss, and that was not an exaggeration.

In the past, he managed to thrive seemingly effortlessly because he had not yet become a threat to others, so no major powers had taken action against him.

But in the future, this situation would change because Wang Ye’s faction had already become a threat to other factions!

At the moment, only the Second Faction wanted to make a move against him, with the most powerful First Faction still biding its time.

But that didn’t mean the First Faction would always stand by and not act against him.

If today he rejected Puding’s suggestion, it could very well be interpreted by the Kremlin as him having ulterior motives, being no true "friend" to the Kremlin.

That could lead to a thunderous strike from the First Faction!

If the First and Second Factions joined forces to suppress him, Wang Ye really didn’t know how he could find a way out...

Already, due to the incident with Khodorkovsky, his relationship with the Kremlin was fraught with significant dangers!

......

But Puding and Gavriil were not at all worried; they sat sipping tea with smiles on their faces, calm and unhurried.

The matter Puding had just mentioned was not a whim of the moment.

It was well-planned in advance!

Gavriil, of course, had participated...

If they dared to support Wang Ye to this position, not worrying that he would "defect" and join forces with Khodorkovsky, it wasn’t simply because they had the leverage of Wang Ye’s "true identity"...

If Wang Ye really was stubborn to the point of facing death and still unwilling to give in, refusing Puding’s proposal,

That would be just as easy to handle. After dinner, once Wang Ye left the Kremlin, what awaited him would be a series of bad news!
