Chapter 901: Chapter 851: He Will Take Action_2

"These two new titles, the actual power in his hands is much greater than that of a Deputy Speaker Duma!"

"Not to mention Wang Ye’s considerable influence in the business world—his Crimea Investment Company is planning to invest tens of billions of US dollars in the Crimea Peninsula!"

Therefore, the Ukrainian side also dispatched a high-standard welcoming team to the Airport.

The Chairman and Vice Speaker of the parliament were mobilized, and the government sent the Vice President L and the Foreign Minister.

Of course, a special representative from the Presidential palace was indispensable.

And that was just the welcoming team at the Airport.

Gu Qima himself was waiting at the Presidential Palace, ready to welcome Wang Ye’s arrival.

......

As soon as Wang Ye appeared at the airplane door, the honor guard below began to play music, and the Chairman and others lined up, smiling warmly at Wang Ye.

A group of TV stations and media journalists had long set up their "long guns and short cannons," and the flash bulbs were popping up here and there, obviously making Wang Ye’s visit a major piece of news in all the major Ukrainian media.

The news of his arrival would also be featured on Ukrainian TV stations’ evening news broadcast!

Walking down the gangway, when he arrived midway, Wang Ye stopped and waved to the crowd below.

Although it was his first time leading a delegation on such a high-profile international visit, he had gone over the protocols with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in advance, so he had to maintain the proper appearance.

He had to behave like a Big Shot!

Of course, he was indeed a Big Shot in his own right...

When he reached the bottom of the gangway, the Chairman, Vice Speaker, Foreign Minister, and others had already come to greet him.

A group of adorable children were the first to come forward, offering flowers to Wang Ye and the others.

The little girl who came in front of Wang Ye was about six or seven years old, cute and beautiful, like a little angel.

Wang Ye bent down to receive the flowers she handed him, pressed cheeks with her, and then held the flowers in one hand while lifting her up with the other.

Everyone around them was watching with beaming smiles, and the surrounding journalists were frantically pressing their camera shutters, capturing the scene.

This image showcased the Chairman Mikhail’s love for children and could be used as the cover photo for the news!

According to protocol and in order of rank, the greeters lined up, and Wang Ye shook hands with each of them.

The members of Wang Ye’s delegation, also in order of their rank and positions, followed Wang Ye and shook hands with the welcoming party one by one...

Fortunately, everyone spoke Russian, so communication was not a problem at all, and no Translator was needed.

After shaking hands and getting acquainted, the Ukrainian Chairman escorted Wang Ye side by side at the forefront, followed by a grand procession of personnel from both sides heading to the convoy.

A state guest motorcade was a given.

The motorcade was led by motorcycles flashing Police lights, followed by a row of about ten black Mercedes, then luxury minibusses, and Police cars serving as security.

The Chairman accompanied Wang Ye to a central Mercedes with a National Flag on the front, while the rest boarded vehicles that suited their status.

Those who got to ride in the Mercedes were high-ranking officials, and the less privileged ones had to settle for the minibusses.

The billionaires from the business world who accompanied the delegation, of course, were no exception; they too had to make do with a squeeze in the minibusses.

......

There was no need for any Security check or Customs Procedure.

Joking aside, this was an official diplomatic visit—far from just passing through Customs, even if some members of the delegation accidentally broke the law here, they would still enjoy diplomatic Immunity!

The motorcade roared out of the Airport.

It was only then that the Chairman had time to speak quietly to Wang Ye.

"Director Mikhail, welcome to Kiev. The government and parliament of our country are very much looking forward to your visit," the Chairman said with a smile.

His choice of words was deliberate, addressing Wang Ye as "Director" rather than "Vice Speaker."

It was because, for this visit, Wang Ye was assuming the title of "Director of the National Foreign Affairs Committee," a newly established institution with immense power. When visiting other countries, his status was equivalent to that of a "national" level!

He virtually had the power to represent the national attitude of Russia.

However, if he were to visit in the name of "Deputy Speaker Duma," the significance would be much less, as he couldn’t fully represent the Duma, after all, he was only the Vice Speaker...

The Chairman was named Alexander, uh, this name is very common in Eastern Europe.

He appeared to be over sixty years old, but he was in good spirits, with a ruddy complexion.

But Wang Ye didn’t recognize this person from his memory, and according to the information collected by Yelena, Chairman Alexander was also a veteran in the Ukraine parliament, having been re-elected as Chairman twice.

However, with Gu Qima stepping down, Alexander would be retiring next year.

Wang Ye nodded and smiled politely in response, "Chairman Alexander, you’re too kind. We are brother countries with a long history of friendship. On this visit, I also come bearing friendship and enthusiasm, hoping that the friendship between our two countries will continue and that we will cooperate even more closely."

"Haha, Director Mikhail, I’ve heard of your great reputation for a long time. Of course, including President Gu Qima, he has mentioned you several times in my presence. Under your leadership, Russia’s economic growth has been rapid in the past two years, and development has been very good," Alexander laughed and said.

These were all pleasantries, but they were probably also true.

After all, Wang Ye had risen too quickly in these two years!

Russia was the "big brother" in the Eastern Europe region, so the emergence of such a character on the political arena naturally drew attention from neighboring countries.

At first, maybe not everyone took it seriously, after all, at that time, Wang Ye was just the Vice Speaker, the party leader of the Third Faction.

Perhaps his deeds in the business world were more of a topic of interest to everyone.

But with the new year and the turnover in the Duma, things changed drastically!

Wang Ye’s faction won one hundred and fifty seats, becoming the Second Faction in the Duma, and he himself was promoted "half a notch," to become the "First Deputy Speaker of the Duma."

If it were just this, the neighboring countries’ higher-ups wouldn’t pay too much attention, at most, they would start to keep an eye and gather his information.

But then came events they couldn’t comprehend.

Russia discreetly established two extremely powerful institutions, and the person leading these two institutions was none other than the absurdly young Mikhail!

......

In fact, Alexander and Gu Qima had also discussed Mikhail privately, and after analyzing all his data seriously, the two understood a bit more.

Because, after all, connecting the words – Mikhail, Rossiyana, her father-in-law, the Romanov family, the British Royal Family – it was no longer surprising that Wang Ye took charge of these two institutions.

Moreover, with the amazing talent he exhibited in business, and the trust the Kremlin had in him, it was no exaggeration to say that Wang Ye was now Russia’s "number two" man...

That’s why his visit this time was treated with such importance by Ukraine.

Joking aside, maybe in a few years, at most a decade, this young man could genuinely be "controlling" the Kremlin.

If they didn’t make a good relationship now, how could they "cling to the big shot’s coattails" in the future!

You don’t even have to wait a few years, Wang Ye’s current influence was already worth cosying up to for the surrounding countries.

...

The motorcade whizzed down the empty streets at high speed.

It wasn’t that there were no other cars or pedestrians on Kiev Street, but because the streets had been cleared in advance.

At every intersection that the motorcade was to pass through, there would be police officers already stationed to prevent other cars from passing.

Only after the motorcade sped past would they reopen the streets.

Therefore, no matter how busy the city or the street, those at the very top of the hierarchy don’t need to worry about issues like traffic when they travel.

Their time is much more valuable than that of ordinary people.

Don’t be resentful; it’s the same in any country...

The motorcade drove for over ten minutes and arrived at Ukraine’s center of power, namely the Presidential Palace!

This building was not like the Kremlin, but rather resembled the White House of the United States.

A large, yet not too tall, European-style building, and in front of it was a not-so-small Fountain Square.

The motorcade stopped at the foot of the staircase before the main entrance, and a bright red carpet stretched along the tall steps into the wide-open building...
