Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 709 Young and Promising
When discussing Medjev, it is obvious that Gobrev has more say.

Because Medeff seemed to work under Goblev in the past few years, and the two had a lot of contact.

As for Alexei, it’s hard to comment on Medjev. Although he is a little higher than Medjev, don’t forget that he is far inferior to Medjev when it comes to his closeness to the Kremlin. Husband.

Maybe a few years later, Medjef will become his immediate boss.

After thinking for a while, Gobrev said cautiously: "How should I put it, Medeff is relatively young. He is only in his 30s this year, and he has already reached his current position. He is considered young and successful. Of course, this You are incomparable to Misha, haha..."

In his 30s, he has already become a minister, which can indeed be described as young and promising.

Of course, it also depends on who you compare with.

Wang Yegang is 20 years old and is a sub-G rank...

Therefore, it is really inappropriate to say that Medjef is young in front of Wang Ye.

Wang Ye smiled and nodded, motioning for Gobrev to continue, saying that he was still very interested in Medeff.

Gobrev continued: "When I worked with me, everyone spoke very well of him. He is serious and responsible in his work, active in thinking and not old-fashioned, has team spirit, and arranges all the things he is responsible for in an orderly manner. In a hurry..."

It can be heard that Gobrev still has a very high opinion of Medgeev.

Obviously, Dmitry Medev must have his own merits, otherwise, with so many students graduating from Petersburg University every year, it would be too much to talk about "junior juniors".

Why did he come out alone and become Puding's most trusted partner!

After listening to Gobrev's compliment to Medev, but did not answer the key question, Wang Ye asked: "Then what is his attitude towards the transfer of Gazprom's shares?"

Gobrev was a little embarrassed, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, as if he was a little uncomfortable answering.

However, in the face of Wang Ye's expectant eyes, Gebrev still did not evade this question. After all, compared to Medeff, the relationship between Wang Ye and him is better.

It would be an exaggeration to say that Gobrev bet more than half of his future on Wang Ye!
As for Medeff, the relationship between the two in private is not very good, that is, the relationship between colleagues.

Of course, this is also because Gobrev did not know that Putin's term would be so long.

Otherwise, he doesn't need to bet on anyone, it's enough to hold Puding's thigh tightly...

"The issue of Gazprom's share transfer was first raised by Medev, and then the Kremlin agreed.

However, after all, Gazprom is under the direct control of the government, so the government's consent must be sought.

As a result, the government has different opinions. There are two main points in their attitude.

For one thing, Medev bypassed the government and went directly to the Kremlin to discuss the matter, which was against the rules.

Secondly, now that Gazprom is controlled by state-owned assets, the government will naturally benefit the most.

It is because of the large dividends received from Gazprom every year that the annual financial budget can be maintained. Once the shares are diluted, the dividends received each year will not be so much, which will cause trouble in future financial budgets.

Now things are stuck here and not finalized. "

He explained the ins and outs of the whole matter clearly, and Wang Ye understood what was going on.

In fact, it is understandable that Medev went directly to the Kremlin to discuss this matter, bypassing the government.

Because he was originally a person who left the Kremlin, when he had to make a decision on any important matter, he was used to go to the Kremlin to discuss it.

In addition, he estimates that the relationship with the government is not very close...

However, Wang Ye was still a little curious, so he asked again: "Then why did Medeff suddenly propose to introduce new shareholders to dilute the proportion of state-owned shares?"

Ordinarily, this is indeed a bit inappropriate, and Medjef himself represents the interests of state-owned assets!
It is because the state-owned assets hold a controlling stake in Gazprom that the chairman can be directly appointed by airborne.

If the proportion of state-owned shares is really diluted, it is not certain who will be the chairman in the future!

Gobrev shook his head, "I'm not too sure about this. He said it was to promote market liberalization and attract foreign investment. After all, if you want others to invest, you have to show some sincerity. If the industries that make money are not open, or the state-owned assets do not let them go, and only let foreign capital invest in industries with high investment and low returns, others will definitely not be happy."

Wang Ye nodded. This reason sounds a bit outrageous, but it is reasonable for Medeff.

Others don't know it, but Wang Ye knows it. The few years after Medeff came to power, it was really the best time for Da Mao to have the best relationship with European and American countries.

Europe and the United States also praised him a lot...

Of course, praise from Europe and the United States is sometimes not a positive thing.

…………

At this moment, Alexei suddenly interrupted and said: "I have heard some unconfirmed news. It is said that Gazprom plans to introduce two strategic partners this time, from the European Union and the United States. Jeff held the line."

Wang Ye frowned.

Could it be that Medjev wants to learn from Hovchenko and reorganize the Yukos Group?
Introduce foreign investors, come to "hold foreign self-respect"!
Or, it is also possible that there is some interest transfer relationship...

However, these things are difficult to prove, and it is not easy to guess casually. After all, the person I am facing is not an ordinary minister, but I want to treat him as someone who will enter the Kremlin in the next few years. !
But if this happens, things will become tricky.

If Medjev bites to death, only foreign investors are allowed to enter the market, and domestic capital is not allowed to invest in Gazprom.

That directly shattered Wang Ye and Constantine's idea of ​​taking a stake in Gazprom from the "source".

In fact, if Wang Ye really wants to "compete", it's not impossible.

In the final analysis, even if they wanted to bypass the Duma and let the government directly make a decision on this matter, then the Economic Committee where Wang Ye was located would have a reason to intervene.

After all, although the Duma does not seem to have any real power, the key point is that the Duma can justifiably ask about any domestic affairs!
Especially the Economic Committee, there is no problem in intervening in the financing of Gazprom's share expansion.

The question is, is it worth it?
This is something Wang Ye needs to consider, and he has to discuss it with Constantine.
