Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 455 Also have ideals and aspirations

United Airlines, for Wang Ye, can only be regarded as a task, and it was driven out of the shelves.

He didn't expect to make any money from this company at all, if he could lose a little less, it would be considered a profit!

The reason why he took over this company was because he wanted to gain some political capital and expand his network.

The automobile and chip industries are the ones that can make a lot of money, and they are also the industries that Wang Ye intends to operate for a long time.

You know, Russia is one of the members of the Wassenaar Agreement, and developed countries in Europe and the United States have not imposed any blockade and embargo on Russia these years, so it is very simple to buy advanced lithography machines, all you need is money.

Asmer is eager to sell a few more lithography machines. In addition, Nikon and Canon are also selling lithography machines. Asmer only accounted for 60.00% of the market share at that time.

Because the investment in the fab was too large, few countries and regions were willing to do this at the time.

The return on investment is too low!
And at that time, it was the process of rapid global integration, and the global trade environment was very loose. Wouldn’t it be good to design chips by yourself and let others do it for you? Who wouldn’t want to invest billions or tens of billions to build wafers? What about the factory...

It can only be said that the global chip industry has changed too fast and too much. In just a dozen years, there have been earth-shaking changes.

What Wang Ye has to do is to start in advance, and start the chip industry when the global situation is not so severe and Russia and a mysterious big country have not been targeted by the West.

He even intends to suppress a certain semiconductor through targeted competition.

Why can a certain SIMC almost monopolize the foundry processing of high-end chips?

Let’s not talk about what happened more than ten years later, but in 2002, no matter whether it was capital or technical talents, Wang Ye didn’t believe it.
Perhaps, if he really wanted to make a lot of money, Wang Ye also had more and better choices.

For example, when making financial investments, take advantage of the global Internet winter and buy more stocks of those high-quality Internet companies.

Then he doesn't have to do anything in the future, and he can earn astronomical amounts of money while lying down!
Why do you have to work hard to engage in the chip industry and invest huge sums of money to build a fab...

Even if a certain semiconductor chip is defeated and monopolized the global high-end chip processing, how much money can it make?

Wang Ye has also considered this issue, but he can only say that it is because he is a Chinese.

In later generations, because of a small chip, he was stuck in the neck by Europe and the United States, and the embarrassing scene where the whole country was filled with righteous indignation but there was nothing he could do, he will never forget!
…………

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Gryzlov grinned and asked curiously: "What kind of cars and chips do you really plan to make? It's not easy to make money in such an asset-heavy industry. The investment is large and the results are slow, and the competition is fierce. Low. Like your uncle, it’s not good to be in the energy industry, and the money comes in quickly and abundantly!”

Also, these years, there have been so many big oligarchs and rich people in Russia, but you can find the pattern if you put it together.

These top rich people are basically engaged in two industries, either energy or finance...

And those aircraft factories, automobile factories, shipyards, etc. with glorious histories have no one to pay for, even if they are given away, no one may want them!

Are those big oligarchs and rich people stupid?

On the contrary, they are very smart!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to get billions of dollars in just a few years.

Therefore, Gryzlov was very curious, why Wang Ye, who obviously has excellent resources, does not engage in energy or finance, but instead wants to get involved in such thankless industries as automotive chips.

Is this kid really a so-called "patriotic youth" who intends to revive Da Mao's national economy...

To be honest, he didn't believe that there are still such "fools" these days!
Wang Ye smiled lightly and said:
"It is the easiest for me to make money, but in addition to making money, people still have some ideals and ambitions.

Now that I have entered the Economic Committee and served as a member, this is also the trust of voters and colleagues in me, so I must be worthy of everyone's trust!
The automobile industry is the industry that can best drive the upstream and downstream industrial chains to bring a large number of jobs, and the chip is the most representative top technology of this era.

Coincidentally, we also have a good foundation in these two industries.

If I can combine these two industries, the country and the people will benefit a lot! ..."

Gryzlov was taken aback for a moment by his impassioned words.

After listening, I was speechless for a long time.

No wonder that guy Gobrev kept bragging about Mikhail's "big picture", "ambition", "international vision", "vision" in front of him...

I didn't believe it at first, thinking it was an exaggeration, but now judging from the time I have been in contact with Mikhail, this kid really deserves those compliments!

Of course, anyone can say beautiful words, but whether they can do it or not is another matter.

I can't just listen to what Mikhail said, but also what he did!
Nodding, Gryzlov gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "That's right! Hey, compared to you, we old fellows are much inferior. Of course, many committee members don't have the skills you have mastered. The resources are incomparable. But what we can do is to support you in terms of policies and legislation. Go ahead and do it boldly. I am looking forward to the changes you can bring to the country.”

…………

After talking about things, Wang Ye got up and said goodbye.

Regarding the matter of United Airlines, Gryzlov still needs to go through some procedures, so the letter of appointment will take a few days to come down, and there is no rush for now.

Wang Ye should make preparations first, and he will be able to take office when the time comes.

Back in his office, several assistants were working outside. When they saw Wang Ye coming back, they stood up quickly.

Wang Ye took off his suit casually and handed it to Elena to hang it up for him.

While walking into the inner office, he arranged: "All of you come in, we will also have a small meeting."

The five girls followed Wang Ye to the inner office, and everyone found a place to sit down.

Wang Ye sat on the single sofa, looked at the five assistants, and asked with a smile: "Everyone has been working for a while, how are you getting used to it?"

Elena and the "four babies" nodded quickly, expressing that they have fully adapted to the job.

They have been working for such a long time, and they are basically full-time. If they are not used to work, it means that there is something wrong with their abilities...

To be honest, it is very difficult to find such a high-paying and decent job in Moscow. Naturally, everyone does not want to be considered by the "boss" as a failure.

So during this period of time, several people really worked very hard, working until late every day, even though Wang Ye usually didn't assign them any specific tasks...
