Chapter 896: Chapter 849: Opening the Great Era

What Wang Ye didn’t expect was that his "Major Infrastructure Project Plan" had been leaked to the Kremlin before it was even formally put to vote at the Duma Congress.

Gavriil didn’t make a phone call, instead, he came directly to Wang Ye’s Duma Office to consult with him in person about some aspects of the plan.

From this, one could tell just how seriously the Kremlin took this plan!

"You this... you, why didn’t you bring up this plan the last time we had dinner; it put us in quite a passive position!"

As soon as he sat down, Gavriil shook his head and sighed, pointing at Wang Ye as if he were very dissatisfied.

Wang Ye said with a smile, "Actually, this plan only took its final shape in the past two days, I hadn’t thought it through before, and the key issues were not clear, so of course, I couldn’t talk about it."

Upon hearing this, Gavriil’s eyes lit up. He grabbed Wang Ye’s arm eagerly and asked, "So now you’re absolutely confident? The plan is definitely going to work?"

Wang Ye grinned and said in a light-hearted tone, "I’m fairly confident, but with these kinds of things, who can guarantee anything with absolute certainty?"

"That’s true... honestly, I studied that plan all night last night. I didn’t sleep a wink, at my age, and it’s all because of your plan. Look at my dark circles..." Gavriil said as he pointed to his own eyes.

No wonder the "old man" looked so haggard when he came in, with sagging eye bags, looking very lackluster.

So he had been up all night studying his plan...

"Oh, did you figure something out then?" Wang Ye asked with a smile.

Gavriil paused for a moment, then said emphatically, "I’ve come to realize one thing, that is if this plan starts to be implemented, it will mark the beginning of a great era!"

Wang Ye raised his eyebrows; that was high praise indeed!

But it was also expected, because his "Major Infrastructure," that would indeed be a revolutionary change for Russia.

Many industries, many people, even the fate of the entire country would move towards a different future. To call it the beginning of a great era was not an overstatement.

Gavriil probably didn’t fully grasp the inner logic of the plan, he was no economist, just a politician.

But his insight couldn’t be denied!

"So this plan should be problem-free?" Wang Ye asked with a smile.

"Of course there’s no problem! We will fully support your work. Whatever you need, you can contact me at any time," Gavriil said without hesitation.

If Wang Ye’s great infrastructure project succeeded, then everyone would benefit!

Especially those at the higher levels, they weren’t foolish, of course, no one would step out to stop Wang Ye.

"What did you come here for today, what do you want to know?" Wang Ye asked, puzzled.

He truly didn’t understand, since it was clear that the plan he presented would have a significant effect, why not just approve it directly; what was Gavriil doing coming to him?

Gavriil gave a bitter smile and said helplessly:

"Because your plan covers so much ground!

It will require a lot of departments, many personnel to work together. The plan is good, but to carry it out without compromise, that’s a huge challenge!

You’re always at the Duma, working at the highest level, so you rarely interact with those below... the lower-level agencies and workers, I guess.

Let me put it this way to you, even the best plans, when they get to the bottom rung, if they just drag their feet or ignore them, then nothing gets done!

Coming to you is to discuss, to see how we can do this. The best would be to bypass those at the grass-roots level."

Wang Ye understood Gavriil’s point now!

Indeed, at that time, or perhaps it has always been Russia’s style, bureaucracy is rampant!

In this respect, even the head of the Kremlin is helpless, wanting to do something but unable to!

At an important meeting once, he even told a bureaucratic joke about a spy from the United States who wanted to defect at the Kergbo headquarters in Lubyanka during the Former Soviet Era.

A spy arrived in Lubyanka and said: I am a spy, I wish to defect.

The worker, without even lifting his head, asked: A spy from which country?

Answer: From the United States.

The worker said: Then go to office number five.

After the spy found office number five with great difficulty and explained his purpose,

the worker there asked impatiently: Do you have a weapon?

Answer: Yes.

The worker said: Then go to office number seven, hand over your weapon there first.

After another painstaking search for office number seven,

the worker inside asked him: Do you have any communication equipment?

Answer: Yes.

They said: Then go to office number twenty, handle the communication equipment there, and then come back to me to surrender your weapon.

Once he arrived at office number twenty, feeling dizzy,

the worker, who was engrossed in a novel, responded irritably after being asked several times: Do you have a mission?

Answer: Yes.

Slamming the novel down on the desk, the worker exclaimed angrily: Then please leave and carry out your mission, do not disturb my work.

......

Although it’s just a joke, the working styles of many institutions in Russia are even worse than what’s described in the joke!
