Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Although not many people attended the meeting between Yanukovych and Wang Ye, the living room was quite large.

At the front and center, there are two single sofa chairs, and a pot of elegant flowers is placed on a small coffee table in the middle.

Behind the sofa chair, there are two national flags standing, one for Da Mao and another for Er Mao...

There is a chair on the side and back of the two sofa chairs. Originally, the translator was supposed to sit here, but since both of them spoke Russian, there was no need for a translator, so the two assistants sat there.

In front of the sofa chair, there are two rows of seats arranged straight in two rows. These are the seats for the two subordinates or entourage.

There was another scene at the beginning. The two of them each spoke about the friendly relations and brotherhood between the two countries in the past, and looked forward to the future that the two countries will continue to work together and become rich and powerful together!

Of course, Wang Ye also congratulated Yanukovych on his successful election as president and said that this is the most correct choice for the people of Uzbekistan!

Under the leadership of Yanukovych, Ukraine will also usher in new opportunities and development...

Yanukovych modestly stated that the trust and expectations of the people in him will not be let down, and he will do his best to do his job well...

After the scene was finished, the main topic began to be introduced.

There were no media reporters present in the conference hall, they were all his own people, so Wang Ye said straight to the point: "I came here this time because I have a very important matter to discuss with you, that is, Uzbekistan's joining the CHEP The problem.

As we all know, the purpose of the establishment of the CHEP is to protect countries like us that once belonged to the former Soviet Union.

After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, we and the surrounding countries of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzi, and Georgia... all became sovereign countries.

But everyone’s national strength is high or low. In comparison, our Russia is relatively better.

As for countries such as Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, their economies are in decline and their national strength is weak. It can even be said that they have no ability to protect themselves.

Then, the establishment of a CHEP is imperative!

In the past few years, because Moscow was also unable to cope with the situation, there was no extra energy and financial resources to take care of everyone. The CHEP existed in name only. It is understandable that you do not want to participate.

But it’s different now!

With the rising international energy prices and the introduction of a series of economic policies, you should also be able to see that Moscow's economy is growing rapidly and the domestic political situation is also becoming more stable.

In this case, we have the will and ability to maintain the security of surrounding areas.

Therefore, the importance of this collective insurance organization has become highlighted.

And after you join this organization, the best thing is that you no longer need to consider security issues. With so many member states united and Moscow's powerful force, no country or organization in the world will dare to violate your rights. Homeland Security!

Your energy will be freed up, and you can develop the economy and people's livelihood without worries..."

Wang Ye talked eloquently and boasted of the benefits of joining the CHEP!

However, he was not completely deceiving Yanukovych, because the purpose of establishing the CHEP was indeed this.

The key is to see whether Russia has the ability and determination to fulfill its commitments...

At least for now, I still have this ability and attitude!

…………

Before Wang Ye arrived, Yanukovych had already summoned his staff to discuss the matter, so he already had the answer in his mind.

After listening to Wang Ye's speech with a smile on his face, Yanukovych was not in a hurry to express his position.

I just expressed my affirmation and appreciation for what Wang Ye said first, and then started to complain when the topic changed:

"Director Mikhail, you should also know the current situation in our country of Ukraine.

To be honest, I haven't had a good night's sleep since I came to power. When I open my eyes every day, there is a mountain of official business waiting to be dealt with.

Most of them are related to finance. Finance is really difficult..."

As he spoke, he almost burst into tears, his face full of concern for the country and the people.

Wang Ye was mentally prepared for Yanukovych's "performance", so he listened to him calmly.

Then he smiled slightly and said calmly: "So I have been proposing that we, brotherly countries, unite and gather all our strength. Not only in terms of security, but also in terms of economy!"

Yanukovych's eyes lit up when he mentioned "economy". Compared with the so-called security, he was obviously more interested in economic topics.

After all, under the circumstances at that time, the surrounding areas of Ukraine were still very safe, and no threats were seen in the short term.

So joining or not joining the CHEP makes no difference to Uzbekistan...

But economic problems are imminent!

Uzbekistan, in particular, is not small in terms of land area. It ranks second in Europe, second only to Mao, and is much larger than the "big countries" in the eyes of ordinary people such as Britain, France, and Germany.

The population is also large, up to more than 46 million!

With this land area and population, it can be called a "big country" anywhere.

For such a big country, the national GDP at that time was less than 70 billion U.S. dollars, and the per capita income was less than 1,000 U.S. dollars. This was only one year!

On average, the per capita income is eighty US dollars per month...

Ranked more than 100 times in the world, countries with almost the same income are countries like Honduras, Congo, Klibati, and Equatorial Guinea...

It can be said to be one of the poorest countries in Europe.

So we can't blame Yanukovych for thinking about the exchange of interests in everything. He always wants to ask Wang Ye for financial assistance or something, but he has no choice.

…………

"In fact, rather than the CHEP, I think it is better to establish an economic cooperation organization like the European Union. Within this cooperation framework, everyone can communicate with each other, exempt each other from tariffs, and rich countries help poorer countries. This is called real cooperation. Brotherly love." Yanukovych said with emotion.

Wang Ye smiled and reassured him: "These will all be there, but we have to do it step by step. I am already preparing the plan for the Economic Cooperation Organization, and it may be formally proposed within this year."

Since becoming the director of the National Economic Council, Wang Ye has also begun to supplement economic knowledge and world economic history.

He will definitely not be able to cope with his current job just by relying on the little experience he accumulated in his previous life. If he doesn't learn and make progress, sooner or later he will show his cowardice!

The Economic Cooperation Organization plan he talked about today was hatched during his studies.

Mainly referring to the famous "Molotov Plan" in history, and Wang Ye named his plan "Mikhail Plan"!

Wang Ye doesn't mind being in the limelight for this kind of major event that is destined to go down in history...

The Molotov Plan was specially formulated during the former Soviet Union in response to the Marshall Plan proposed by the United States. It can be described as a tit-for-tat confrontation!

The purpose of the Marshall Plan of the United States was to revive Europe to fight against the former Soviet Union.

Then the Molotov plan proposed by the former Soviet Union was of course intended to unite the Eastern European camp at that time to deal with the "economic attack" of Laos and the United States.

The "Molotov Plan" was later called the "Council for Mutual Economic Assistance" or the "Council for Mutual Economic Cooperation" and included ten member countries.

The core is naturally the former Soviet Union, and the other member states are the neighboring countries in Eastern Europe.

The total population of the member states accounts for 10% of the world's population and 25% of the gross national product. It also has a great impact on the international community.

Of course, with the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, the Economic Cooperation Council also died at the same time...

Now Wang Ye has come up with this plan again, and then modified it to be more in line with the current world environment. It is named "Mikhail Plan" and plans to launch it again!

In fact, this type of economic cooperation organization is very common in the world. The more famous ones are like "WTO", "EU", "ASEAN", "RECP", "G20", "NAFTA", "Asia-Pacific Economic Organization" and so on!

A country can also participate in multiple similar economic organizations.

In fact, it can also be seen from this that the relationship between countries is sometimes a bit like a girls' dormitory, "four girls and ten WeChat groups"!

There are more than 100 countries in the world, and there are countless organizations of various types!

…………

After briefly describing his plan to Yanukovych, Wang Ye said in an unquestionable tone:

“This new Economic Cooperation Organization must play its due role!

To this end, in the early stage, as an initiator of the cooperative organization, Moscow will invest no less than US$30 billion in aid funds every year to assist other member states in difficulty to develop their economies.

When our finances become more abundant, this amount will be further increased.

50 billion per year, or even over 100 billion! "

These days, if you want to be a "big brother", you still have to spend some real money.

I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf.

Why was the Marshall Plan of the United States so successful while the Molotov Plan of the former Soviet Union failed?

That's because the United States really gives money, but the former Soviet Union is reluctant to pay, and instead tries to find ways to make money from other member states!

Wang Ye must learn this lesson.

Besides, spending this money is not a waste, but an investment!

As long as these neighboring fraternal countries become rich, they will definitely bring greater returns to Moscow.

Hearing the numbers Wang Ye said, Yanukovych almost drooled...

Uzbekistan's annual GDP in 2004 was only US$70 billion, and its fiscal revenue was even less.

According to international practice, a country's fiscal revenue usually accounts for between 20% and 30% of the national GDP, which is equivalent to Uzbekistan's fiscal revenue for the entire year last year, which was less than 20 billion U.S. dollars...

What is the "Mikhail Plan" that Wang Ye is doing now? Thirty billion US dollars in economic aid will be invested in the first year. With the size and importance of Uzbekistan, it will definitely be able to take a big part of it!

With 30 billion U.S. dollars, we should be able to take away 10 billion U.S. dollars.

This calculation is equivalent to a direct increase of 50% in the national fiscal revenue!

Then I will have much more money in my hands. Many policies that cannot be implemented now can be implemented, and many tasks that cannot be promoted can be smoothly promoted.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to say:

"Director Mikhail's plan is simply... simply great!

Once it can be implemented, it will benefit the entire Eastern European region, and hundreds of millions of people will benefit from it.

We in Uzbekistan support such a plan that is beneficial to the people with both hands!

I can now make a statement on behalf of Uzbekistan. We must participate in this Economic Cooperation Organization!

By the way, when do you plan to hold a preparatory meeting? "

Wang Ye smiled slightly, "Let's put it after the CHEP meeting. All countries happen to be gathered in Moscow. Let's discuss it together and put this plan on the agenda as soon as possible."

Having reached this point, Yanukovych no longer cared about being reserved and immediately expressed his stance:

"That's great!

We are going to participate in this CHEP anyway, and I will be there in person when the meeting is held.

I haven't officially made any official trip since taking office. I was originally scheduled to go to Moscow, and we just happened to be together. "

…………

It was as simple as that. Wang Ye made the decision on the spot and agreed to allow Uzbekistan to participate in this CHEP meeting. At that time, all member states would vote on whether to allow Uzbekistan to join this organization.

Although the meeting has not yet been held, the results are obvious and there should be no objection from any member state.

After all, Uzbekistan's strength is not very bad. The advantages of having such an additional member country outweigh the disadvantages for everyone, and there is no reason to object.

After discussing the business, Yanukovych was in a happy mood and took Wang Ye to visit Independence Square and the nearby Hagia Sophia with great interest.

Before the dinner started, a press conference was also held to announce a series of cooperation agreements reached by the two parties.

These are the results of negotiations among the entourage brought by Wang Ye. They are nothing more than some exchange and cooperation projects in economic, cultural and other aspects, which are not painful or itchy.

The real result of the heavyweight negotiations, that is, the fact that Ukraine is about to join the CHEP, has not been made public for the time being.

At the dinner, Wang Ye had the opportunity to chat with Natalia.

Natalia, wearing the uniform of the Prosecutor General, looks heroic, with tender blue eyes.

The person she was in front of Wang Ye was completely different from the person she was sitting in the office.

However, in front of so many people, the two could only give each other a brief hug and then chat a few words cordially.

Because Wang Ye was the focus of the entire banquet hall, there were too many people waiting in line to shake hands and chat with him, so Wang Ye didn't say much to Natalia.

Just before turning around and leaving, he whispered, "Meet me at the hotel later."

Natalya nodded slightly with a blushing face, indicating that she remembered.

Of course, the place where Wang Ye stayed was not an ordinary hotel, but a place specially designed to receive important guests. As one of the top people in Kifu, Natalia could find it without asking.

As for whether Yanukovych and Yulia knew about her past visit to Wang Ye, that was up to them.

Anyway, Natalia doesn’t want to miss a beautiful night…
