Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 228 Getting on the Same Boat
Meshkov smiled and said confidently: "There is no problem with this matter. You are the largest foreign investment in Crimea for many years. This is something that is beneficial to the entire people of Crimea. No one dares to stop me. The problem is, after the election is over, if I am not elected and step down, no one will be able to escort you in the follow-up matters."

After finishing speaking, he gave Wang Ye a meaningful look.

Wang Ye immediately understood that if he did this through Meshkov, he would be in the same boat as him!

Meshkov kept his business going smoothly, enjoyed various privileges, and made a lot of money!
I want to use my strong financial resources to do something for him...

But Wang Ye does not reject such things, the rules here are like this, survival of the fittest, the winner is king!
If you want to do big business here, some things are unavoidable.

Since he chose to take this path at the beginning, Wang Ye was mentally prepared, and he also planned to "wrestle with the wrists" with the influential figures of this era...

The crux of the problem now is that Wang Ye needs to weigh whether the price of "supporting" Meshkov's re-election campaign is worth it.

Crimea is a small place with a total population of just over 170 million, which is equivalent to a larger county in China...

The election method is also a popular vote. Whoever gets more votes will be elected successfully.

Among them, the operable space is relatively large!

Moreover, the funds required are not very large, and Wang Ye can bear it.

…………

After thinking for a while, Wang Ye raised his head and said with a smile: "Mr. President is a Russian, and he is a good friend of the Russian people. Moreover, under your leadership, the relationship between the Crimean Peninsula and Russia has always been very good. This is well known. Things. Then as a Russian, we are also compatriots, and it is my duty to support your election!"

He has made a statement, made his position clear, and supports Meshkov to win the presidential election!
In the Crimea Peninsula, the population composition is also very complex, with more than 30 ethnic groups!
But among them, the Russians accounted for more than 60.00%, and they are undoubtedly the largest ethnic group. People like Meshkov, Ajielina, and Natalia are also Russians, so they will treat Russia has a natural affinity.

When Meshkov heard this, he was overjoyed!

He was just tentatively speaking, hoping to see Wang Ye's reaction.

After all, Wang Ye is begging him to do something now. Even if he doesn't want to fully support him, he will give some "political donations" more or less.

A rich man of this level will never be too stingy in his hand, and it is not a small sum to spend a little casually.

Then his own campaign funds will be much more generous, and he will be more confident.

Meshkov still has civil prestige in the Crimea, but elections are still full of uncertainties.

Therefore, all kinds of publicity, speeches, rallies, and vote-raising before the election are still indispensable. If you have sufficient funds, you can grasp more.

If it were placed in developed countries in Europe and the United States, those general elections would be done with money!

According to statistics from the United States, the two presidential candidates spent a total of 2000 million U.S. dollars in the [-] U.S. election!

As far as Wang Ye knew, this amount continued to rise rapidly in the next ten years. In a certain general election, two candidates "burned" 140 billion US dollars in order to compete for that position...

The campaign model of Crimea is similar to that of Europe and the United States. If you want to win the election, firstly, it depends on the personal charm of the candidate, and secondly, it depends on which campaign team has more money and is more willing to spend money!

However, Crimea is relatively poor, and there are no decent companies at all. Naturally, there is no situation where any candidate can obtain a large amount of political donations and then crush his opponents.

Therefore, in the past, most of the candidates relied on their own influence and personal charm, which is considered fair.

However, there may be variables in this election. In the past two years, the relationship between Meshkov and the parliament has not been good, so his power has been relatively restricted, and many proposals cannot be passed in the parliament.

Now that another general election is approaching, some people from the opposition party jumped out and said that they would "snipe" Meshkov, thinking that he has been in power for too long, and that the Crimean political arena needs fresh blood!
Myshkov has been preparing for the general election recently, but Crimea is really too poor, there are not many decent enterprises, only some small-scale food processing factories, breweries and other enterprises, which can pull How much "sponsorship"!

When I was worrying, I encountered Wang Ye coming to invest, so Myshkov immediately thought about it...

…………

"Haha, this is great! Mr. Mikhail is such a generous person. In this way, I have some artworks in my study upstairs. I would like to invite you to come and taste them. It also happens that Mr. Yuri and others Discuss the investment details with someone," Myshkov said with a smile.

Obviously, tasting some artwork is an excuse. He wanted to drag Wang Ye to the study to discuss the campaign in detail...

But it's inconvenient to talk about these things in front of everyone, you need to go to the study to talk alone.

Wang Ye nodded, stood up with a smile, "That's what I wish for, Yuri, you can discuss the investment with everyone again. Katya, come with me."

Katya quickly stood up, followed behind Wang Ye, and went upstairs with Meshkov.

The reason why he called Katya was that Wang Ye planned to hand over the matter to Katya to follow up.

The presidential election is not something that can be done in a day or two. It will take a long time. How can he have the leisure and energy to follow up the whole process.

Don't forget, there is a big business worth billions of dollars waiting for him on the other side!

Therefore, this matter has to be handed over to Kajia, and Kajia is now regarded as Wang Ye's more trustworthy "person of his own", and Wang Ye is slowly cultivating her.

Meshkov glanced at Katya in surprise, but didn't say anything, just smiled and led Wang Ye and Katya upstairs.

When they got to the study on the second floor and closed the door, only the three of them were left. Meshkov asked them to sit down separately.

Finally, we can talk about something "direct"!
"Mr. Mikhail, you know that the general election needs money..." Meshkov was still a little bit reluctant at first, and said his words carefully.

Wang Ye smiled, and interjected directly: "Don't worry, I know all of this! Since you want to help you, you must be sure that nothing will go wrong. Not only must you keep your position as president, but you must also get enough people in the parliament. seats!"
