Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 775
Wang Ye really guessed it right. At this very moment, Gobrev was sitting opposite Puding, and the two were discussing the new faction of Khovchenko.

"In the past two days, I have collected information, and contacted a few people who left the first faction and defected to Khovchenko, and got to know their thoughts..."

Gobrev reported in detail the information he had collected in the past two days.

Yesterday, Khovchenko suddenly called a press conference to announce the formation of the faction, which caught Gobrev a little by surprise.

Before, he hadn't paid much attention to Hovchenko because he had more important things to do.

In addition, Hovchenko was very quiet some time ago and did not make any moves.

But I never expected that if Hovchenko came and said nothing, he would already be a blockbuster!

As soon as the new faction was established, it attracted a large number of senior politicians, and even some backbones of the top three factions in the Duma were drawn in.

It's hard to say anything else, but judging from the current situation, if the Khovchenko faction really wants to participate in the Duma election, it can get at least thirty or fifty seats!
This surpasses the current third faction, and may even become the second faction.

Of course, it is not realistic to threaten the 300 Duma seats of the first faction.

But don't forget, there is still one year to go until next year's election. During this period, Khovchenko will obviously not stop, and will continue to win over people and "instigate" more members of the first and second factions.

With Hovchenko's strong financial support at that time, it's really hard to say what will happen next year...

…………

Puding frowned tightly, his face cloudy and uncertain.

It's not that he doesn't allow others to participate in the election. After all, it's a popular election. As long as you have a certain foundation of public opinion, you can participate in the election, and he can't stop everyone from participating in the election.

But the problem is, Hovchenko is different from other competitors!
Originally, Khovchenko was only rich and had no foundation in politics, so when he said he was going to run for election, Putin regarded it as a joke and didn't really worry about anything.

But looking at it now, things don't seem quite right.

The new faction is coming fiercely, and the old fox Zhirinov has defected to the past.

Now on Hovchenko's side, there are people and money!
Really not to be underestimated!
After thinking for a long time, Puding said, "What's Mikhail's reaction?"

Gobrev immediately replied: "Misha was in London a few days ago. Didn't he buy a football club and go to work on it? According to what I have learned, he will also make his debut at Arsenal this afternoon. He flew back to Moscow immediately before the game ended. He probably also received the news that Khovchenko had established a new faction, and judging by the reaction, I guess he is not very clear about Khovchenko’s affairs.”

Putin nodded, and asked again: "How many people did Khovchenko take away from the third faction? Are there any current Duma MPs among them?"

"It may be because of Zhirinov. They have taken away a lot of people from the third faction, and they are almost catching up with the second faction. Of course, it is normal to take away the most people from our faction. Who told us to The faction has the most members. There are not many current Duma deputies, only two. After all, it is very troublesome for the Duma deputies to switch to other factions during their tenure. , at the end of the term, it’s hard to say..."

The incumbent members of the Duma are bound to the factions. After all, when they started the campaign, they used the name of the factions to get votes for publicity.

If you leave your current faction halfway and switch to another faction, your position as a member of the Duma will be automatically cancelled.

Therefore, most of the people Hovchenko and the others recruited were from the government or outsiders, and there were not many real Duma members in office.

…………

After questioning and answering, Gobrev shared all the information he had, and Puding also had an intuitive understanding of this matter.

Finally, he said decisively: "Don't do anything for now, continue to pay attention to Kovchenko's subsequent actions. In addition, you should find an opportunity to chat with Mikhail to find out what he thinks. As long as Mikhail doesn't talk to Hovchen If Ke joins forces, then the matter will not be so bad. But you must pay attention to this, don't be fooled by them, you have to investigate in private..."

Gobrev nodded in understanding.

He also knew what Puding was worried about.

A Khovchenko plus Zhirinov can't make any big waves.

But if you add Mikhail, who is currently the deputy speaker of the Duma and the leader of the third faction, the nature of the matter will be different!

If the worst happens, the Ke Palace will have to make preparations in advance, and even at the critical moment, they will not hesitate to use ruthless hands...

Gobrev was a little worried about Wang Ye. This is his most promising rising star in the political arena, and he bet heavily on Wang Ye!
If it is true that because of getting mixed up with Khovchenko, he turned against the Kremlin and became an "enemy", then he would be too heartbroken...

But it was not easy for him to say these words in front of Puding, so he just nodded and said, "Okay, I will pay attention. Tomorrow, I will find a chance to meet with Misha and find out what he has to say first."

…………

The next day, just as Wang Ye came to the Duma office and was looking through the documents accumulated in the past few days, Gobrev called.

"Misha, I heard that you came back from London. How is the new team? Have you settled everything? You and Abramovich have become the focus of the world these days. I have seen many media reports in Europe. , the Russian oligarchs invaded England, haha..."

On the phone, Gobrev smiled heartily.

Wang Ye responded with a smile: "British tabloid media is that style. They make it seem like aliens are going to invade the earth for any trivial matter. The club's affairs have been dealt with, and I stayed there for a few days. , quite boring, Duma has a lot of things to do, so I hurried back."

"Have dinner together tonight? It's been a long time since we chatted." Gobrev seemed to say casually.

Wang Ye naturally wanted to give him this face, so he agreed without hesitation.

The two made an appointment at six o'clock in the evening to meet at the old place Turandot restaurant.

But after hanging up the phone, Wang Ye fell into deep thought. He naturally understood that with Gebrev's identity and position, he certainly wouldn't invite him to dinner for no reason.

Both are too busy!

What was the reason for it? Anyway, it couldn't be because of the Arsenal club.

It's not difficult to guess why Wang Ye himself rushed back to Moscow, and it must be because of this that Gebrev asked him to have dinner with him!
