Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 781 Competition Begins

"I am very dissatisfied with the current economic environment. I personally think that it is mainly caused by two aspects. On the one hand, those people are too incompetent to do things..."

A familiar voice came from the TV, and Wang Ye recognized it without turning his head to look. It was Hovchenko's voice!

Why did my "uncle" go to a TV show and still criticize...

Wang Ye turned his head to look, and sure enough, it was Hovchenko who was accepting an exclusive interview.

Looking at the logo of the TV station, it is still a national-level TV station with a great influence in Damao.

Of course, it belongs to the private media, not inferior to the "official media".

Wang Ye frowned. He knew very well what it meant to have such interviews on TV.

In the past, Hovchenko was rarely willing to show his face, and almost never accepted TV interviews. How could he appear on TV programs to talk about the economy now?
His heart moved, and he asked Rosiana in a low voice: "Didn't you work in a news agency before, you should know a lot of friends in the media circle?"

"Of course, there are almost no major media, newspapers, TV stations, etc. that I don't know." Rosiana said proudly.

"Then you can help me find out in the afternoon whether my uncle Khovchenko has arranged any media interviews in the next period of time. At the same time, count the number of times he and the key members of his new faction have appeared in the news media recently. Is it?" Wang Ye asked while thinking.

He had some guesses in his mind, as if he understood what Hovchenko wanted to do.

Rosiana nodded, indicating that she remembered it.

…………

After returning to the office after lunch, Rosiana was busy contacting media friends and collecting information.

It wasn't until she was about to leave work that she hurried back to the office and reported to Wang Yehui:

"Boss, I have obtained most of the information, except for some insignificant small media that I have no acquaintances to contact, and the larger media have inquired about it.

Your uncle Khovchenko, or rather their faction, spends money like water in the media circle these days. "

Wang Ye asked in astonishment: "Spending money like water in the media circle? How should I say it?"

"That is, they have reached cooperation with many TV stations, radio stations, newspapers and magazines, using various methods such as sponsorship money, buying out advertising time, customizing programs, etc. How to put it, it is equivalent to paying for advertising and promoting their factions. The interview I saw at noon today is one of the cooperation contents..."

Under Rosiana's narration, Wang Ye finally had a clear outline, which verified the conjecture in his heart.

But he could only helplessly shake his head and smile bitterly.

This kind of thing, I can't stop it, let alone have a reasonable excuse to intervene.

Many media are private capital, and they want to make money. As long as someone is willing to pay, as long as it is not illegal, of course, the more the better.

If you intervene by yourself, it will cause a backlash in public opinion...

But if Hovchenko did this, wouldn't it attract the attention of Gobrev and the others even more?

This……

In Wang Ye's view, this is asking for trouble!

If he could dissuade him, Wang Ye would have gone to persuade him long ago. The problem is that he has persuaded Hovchenko several times, but he didn't listen!
If you try to persuade me again, it will be a bit annoying...

…………

Seeing that Wang Ye's face was not very good, Rosiana mistakenly thought that he was worried that after the Khovchenko faction grew bigger, it would squeeze out Wang Ye's faction in next year's election.

That's why Wang Ye was a little worried.

As for the intricate relationship and friendship between Wang Ye and Khovchenko, to be honest, outsiders generally don't understand it.

Of course, Rosiana is no exception. After Wang Ye and Gryzlov issued a joint statement a few days ago, she thought Wang Ye and Khovchenko had fallen out.

So he came up with an idea: "How about..., our faction will also enter the campaign state ahead of time, and fight with them! Isn't it just spending money on publicity, and we are not afraid. Even if we can't stop this new faction from taking over, we can go Grab the seat of the second faction."

Wang Ye couldn't help laughing, and had to say that Rosiana's thinking was not a problem.

The number of seats in the Duma is fixed, but which seats belong to which faction is not fixed!

Feng Shui turns around, this year to my house.

Now Wang Ye and his faction belong to the third faction in the Duma, but after next year's election, they may not be the third faction.

Maybe slide down and become the fourth faction.

It is also possible to take a step forward and become the second faction!

It's not good to say...

Wang Ye felt that her idea was good, so he nodded and said:
"It's not impossible. When I was the leader of the faction, I made a promise to the members of the faction that I would spend a sum of money to help them run for the next Duma MP.

It was originally planned to launch a publicity campaign half a year later, that is, at the beginning of 04.

But now that the opponents are moving, let's not wait any longer and start to act!
In this way, I will use the name of the Kitty Hawk Group to donate [-] million US dollars to our faction for campaign expenses.

As for what kind of publicity method to choose and how to carry it out, I will leave it to you to coordinate and manage it.

It should be noted that first of all, the most middle-level backbone of the faction should be guaranteed to ensure their appearance rate and ensure that they can win the Duma seat next year.

In addition, we also need to develop some new members to join the faction. Even if we are still the third faction in the next Duma, we will have a lot more seats than now! "

This was also one of the countermeasures that Wang Ye had thought of.

Since everyone was going to compete for next year's election, of course he didn't consider the highest position, but Wang Ye had some ideas about the seats in the Duma.

Who said that his faction can only be ranked third!

Can't we move up one position next year and become the second faction?
Even if you can't compete with the second faction, can you grab some more seats...

Anyway, under his leadership, the faction can't get worse and worse!

Originally, this was also Wang Ye's promise to the faction members when he was the party leader!
He is a man of his word and will not break his word.

…………

With so many group companies under Wang Ye, especially cash cows like Kitty Eagle Group and Siberian Gold Mine, it is absolutely no problem to randomly draw out a few hundred million dollars as campaign funds.

Of course, the richest is the Yukos Group, but although he is the chairman, he is not an absolute controlling shareholder after all.

In addition, it was given to him by Hovchenko, so he was embarrassed to withdraw funds from it.

However, there is no problem with the Little Eagle Group. Of the only three shareholders, Wang Ye himself cannot object. Any comments.

Therefore, the Little Eagle Group will pay the money.
