Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 547
At last the day of the monthly Duma session came.

On this day, the downstairs of the Duma Building, which was not so lively in the past, became full of traffic and very lively.

Many parliamentarians do not usually work in the Duma Building, that is, they only come here once a month for meetings.

More than 400 Duma deputies, plus some government officials who participated in the observation, will have hundreds of people coming to the meeting today.

As for the topics on today's meeting, of course, everyone has been notified in advance.

The most important issue, of course, is to make a final decision on the "oil and gas pipeline dispute" that has been raging for a while!

Just today, all Duma deputies will vote on which line to support.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of matter would not be voted on in the Duma, because it is just a commercial act, and the Ministry of Energy can make a decision.

But this time, the main reason is that the background of the companies involved is very large, and even the Ministry of Energy dare not make a decision directly.

That's why it was submitted to the parliament for discussion and voting.

The Duma, how should I put it, has no rights most of the time.

But sometimes, it is extremely important!
After all, this is also the highest authority in the country.

Even in name...

Take this matter as an example, no matter whether it is the Ministry of Energy or which department, the decision made may not be convincing.

But as long as the result of the Duma vote is accepted, no matter whether you accept it or not, you must accept it.

And there is no possibility of a comeback!
…………

"I don't understand, what's so controversial about a line with broken pipelines, and I feel that Yukos Group is too domineering this time. It doesn't want to share any profits, even the state-owned pipeline group is not allowed to participate. Now it's okay Well, the Ministry of Energy directly messed it up, maybe the super big contract just signed will be voided."

"Haha, the interests involved in this kind of thing are too huge. We outsiders don't know the inside story, so it's hard to evaluate. But if I vote, I should support the new plan of the Ministry of Energy, which is more beneficial to the country. Let's Members of Parliament, it is natural to put the national interest first."

"I still support Yukos' old plan, not for other reasons, but for Mikhail's face. After all, we are all in the same faction. If we don't support him anymore, it will be too chilling."

"Well, you don't have to think too much, you must support Mikhail. But we are not sure, we are not the same faction..."

Many congressmen walked into the building together, discussing today's meeting.

Obviously, the most important topic of today's meeting is the issue of oil and gas pipelines.

Everyone has their own ideas, but generally speaking, there are not many people who support Wang Ye, and the situation is not very fast.

The meeting starts at nine o'clock sharp and will last until twelve noon.

If not all topics have been discussed by then, the time will be postponed.

In fact, Wang Ye also arrived, but he went directly to his office, and when the meeting was about to start, he got up and went to the conference hall.

The hall has long been crowded with people, almost all of them have arrived.

Of course, there are still some congressmen who have already immigrated abroad, and if they cannot come back to attend the meeting, there is no other way...

Seeing Mikhail, who was in a neat suit and looking high-spirited, walked along the aisle to the front row. Members who knew him stood up and greeted him one after another.

"Good morning, Commissar Mikhail."

"Commander Mikhail, I support you, and I will definitely vote for you later!"

"Come on, Mikhail, you can definitely win."...

There was a lot of noise in the hall, and everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Ye who had just entered.

With a smile on his face, Wang Ye nodded to everyone. Without stopping, he went straight to his seat in the first row and sat down.

Several seats on the rostrum are still vacant, and several speakers and deputy speakers have obviously not arrived yet.

Important people are always the last to appear...

…………

At nine o'clock sharp, all the members who were able to come were present, and the meeting started on time.

Gryzlov presided over the meeting, and first talked about some of the Duma's routine work, which was neither painful nor itchy, and no one paid attention to it.

But this is a normal meeting process, and we still have to go.

After the "foreplay", immediately enter the topic.

Gryzlov said seriously: "A vote will be held next. Everyone should have heard about the recent dispute over oil and gas pipelines. But for the specific details, we will ask the representative of the Ministry of Energy to tell you..."

The representative from the Ministry of Energy was a deputy minister.

He walked up to the rostrum, picked up the microphone, and explained in detail the two different pipeline routes to all the congressmen present.

Where is the difference, where does it go, and what group supports which route.

Many congressmen have only heard about this incident, but they don't know the inside story. Now, through the narration of the representative of the Ministry of Energy, everyone has a clear understanding.

Of course, the representative of the Ministry of Energy was biased in the process of speaking.

He vigorously advocated the benefits of the "Anna Line" and emphasized the risks of the "Anna Line".

Because their Ministry of Energy originally supported the Anna line.

They acted as "players" and "referees" at the same time, which is why Yukos Group has so many troubles.

But after Wang Ye came forward, the situation changed.

At least the position of "referee" has been transferred to the Duma Council. Although the situation does not seem to have improved, at least it is not completely impossible to win.

"To sum up, our recommendation from the Department of Energy is to choose the Anna line!
Because this route is the most beneficial to our country.

Not only will there be economic benefits, but it will also improve the international environment of our country and reap geopolitical benefits!
Hey, it's a pity that Yukos Group and Gazprom, two companies, only care about their petty profits and ignore the great interests of the country.

We can't convince them, so we can only submit it to the Duma, and hope that all members of parliament can vote for your sacred vote in the interests of the country..."

The representative of the Ministry of Energy did not forget to step on Yukos and Gazprom in his speech, which is obviously emotional.

Many congressmen in the audience turned their attention to Wang Ye. Everyone is not stupid, of course they understand what's going on.

It seems that Commissioner Mikhail and the Ministry of Energy have fallen out!
Now the opposite party directly doesn't even give face, and directly says that Commissioner Mikhail and the others disregard the interests of the country and only care about their own self-interest!

This is a bit heavy to say...

Of course, here in Duma, pointing and scolding happens from time to time, and it's not that unusual.

Not to mention quarreling, there are occasional congressmen fighting on the spot!
Next, it depends on how Wang Ye will deal with it. If not, it will be really difficult for him to end.

With such a "big hat" put on by the opposite side, it will be difficult for him to get along in the Duma in the future!
