Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

When eating at the top-floor restaurant in the evening, Wang Ye mentioned this matter to Nalan Yaqi with a smile.

"I just bought a house in the capital, right over Houhai. I will have a place to live when I return to China."

Nalan Yaqi is also from the capital. She grew up there and should know the place, so Wang Ye mentioned it to her.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Nalan Yaqi immediately asked with interest: "Houhai? That should be a courtyard house, right? Why do you still like this kind of old house? I thought you would prefer high-end apartments."

Indeed, here in Moscow, if Wang Ye wants it, he can buy a large manor, a villa, etc. at will.

But Wang Ye prefers to live on the top floor of Xiaoying Hotel, which can be regarded as an apartment.

Therefore, it is hard for Nalan Yaqi to imagine that Wang Ye would buy an old and dilapidated courtyard house in the domestic capital.

Wang Ye smiled and explained: "It's not really a courtyard. It was originally a garden. It was very large. The garden alone was almost 30,000 square meters. It is said that it used to be a prince's palace. And after buying this place, it can be redesigned If you decorate it properly, it won’t be much more comfortable than living in an apartment.”

As a result, Wang Ye didn't hear Nalan Yaqi make a sound for a long time.

He looked up curiously and found that Nalan Yaqi, who was sitting opposite, had trembling lips and red eyes, looking like she wanted to speak but couldn't.

This greatly surprised Wang Ye.

He asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"

Nalan Yaqi said with red eyes: "That yard... belonged to my family a long time ago..."

Wang Ye didn't react at all.

He smiled and said: "Don't be ridiculous, if your family had such a big yard in the capital, your mother would still be able to do business..."

But halfway through, Wang Ye stopped. He also remembered something and asked in shock: "This courtyard used to belong to Nalan Mingzhu?"

Nalan Yaqi nodded, her mood calmed down a little, and she explained: "This courtyard was first built by our ancestor Nalan Mingzhu, the great scholar. Later... after the family incident, this courtyard was given to a prince, and it became The so-called Prince’s Palace.”

Wang Ye really doesn’t know this.

He unexpectedly bought the ancestral home of Nalan Yaqi's family.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or...

"Hehe, now this yard can be regarded as returned to its original owner." Nalan Yaqi said with a smile. It seemed that her mood had calmed down.

Wang Ye rolled his eyes at her, "No, it belongs to me!"

"What's yours is mine, why are you so clear about it? Next time I return to China, I will definitely stay there for a few days." Nalan Yaqi said coquettishly.

"It will probably take a year or two. This yard will need to be renovated after we buy it. It won't take more than a year or two." Wang Ye said noncommittally.

In any case, Zhang Xiaoxi's work efficiency is still acceptable. It seems that she has not found the wrong person.

This kind of incident will naturally not affect Wang Ye. He just bought a yard and didn't spend much money.

Just leave this matter to Zhang Xiaoxi and Wang Ye doesn't even bother to intervene.

As for the decoration, Nalan Yaqi volunteered to contact Zhang Xiaoxi, and the two of them discussed it together.

Wang Ye also agreed, but he still had to go through the purpose of the final reconstruction plan.

…………

It’s August, and the weather in Moscow has turned cold, and it’s expected to snow again in a few days.

Before the regular Duma session this month, Wang Ye brought Speaker Gryzlov and Deputy Speaker Zhirinov together and presented a prepared proposal to solicit their opinions.

This is a proposal to extend the term of members of the Duma from four years to five years!

After reading the proposal, both Gryzlov and Zhirinov were silent, and neither of them was in a hurry to speak.

Rather, we are considering what changes this proposal will bring to the Duma if it is passed...

You know, this is no small matter, it even involves amending the Constitution!

Seeing that both of them were silent, Wang Ye didn't say anything, but just looked at the two of them with a smile.

After a while, Zhirinov couldn't hold it in any longer, frowned and asked: "Misha, what is the purpose of your plan?"

Extending the term for one year does not seem to mean much, but Zhirinov and Gryzlov are both old foxes, and they naturally understand the meaning.

Since the terms of Duma members can be extended, can the terms of Federation Council members also be extended?

Even, what about the Kremlin’s term of office...

These are all interconnected, and once one of them is modified, it will trigger a chain reaction.

And the proposal Mikhail is putting forward now may be the "trigger"!

Grezlov also nodded and agreed: "Yes, it shouldn't be difficult to pass this proposal, but it doesn't sound so good when it comes to public speaking. People who don't understand think that we, the Duma, are seeking benefits for ourselves. .”

Also, the Duma originally had legislative power, but now it has extended its term through this power.

It really doesn't sound that nice to say it out loud, and maybe some people will make irresponsible remarks.

Wang Ye grinned and said nonchalantly: "Who can say anything? Besides, no matter what we do, there will be people who criticize us. We can't just do nothing just because we are afraid of this or that."

Well, these words are indeed in line with Wang Ye's character.

Zhirinov remained silent, still thinking about the changes this proposal would bring.

Gryzlov was obviously more mentally sharp than Zhirinov. After careful consideration, he couldn't help but ask that question.

"Is your plan not complete enough?"

"It's complete. Is there anything missing? Please help me, Speaker, to fill it in. This is the purpose of looking for you two today. After all, you are more experienced than me and have considered the problem more comprehensively. Wang Ye said with a smile.

Gryzlov's face showed no emotion, but he was already cursing in his heart.

Mikhail is such a naughty boy!

However, he looked at Zhirinov quietly and said while thinking:

“Zhirinov, you should know that for Misha’s proposal to be truly implemented, in addition to voting within our Duma, it also needs to be approved by the Upper House and finally signed by the Kremlin.

Now, this proposal only recommends extending the term of Duma members. Isn’t it inappropriate?

What will the House of Lords and the Kremlin think? "

Zhirinov suddenly understood, patted his thigh and said:

"I said so!

I always feel like something is missing!

This would be easier to handle. Wouldn't it be better to just add the Upper House and the Kremlin to this proposal, and extend everyone's term to five years?

They probably have nothing to say now.

Don’t tell me, there’s no way this guy Misha’s proposal will fail. It’s a good thing for everyone! "
