Wang Ye doesn't have any ill intentions toward Meddev, so he won't deliberately embarrass him.

After pondering for a while, he smiled and said:

"Based on the information I have, international energy prices will continue to rise in the next three to five years, but it's hard to say to what level they will rise.

However, even if the increase is not too large, it is enough to have a significant impact on our GDP growth.

Coupled with the official opening of the Siberian energy pipeline, we will transport more crude oil and natural gas, and we will naturally get more reimbursements.

In addition, with the rapid development of the automobile manufacturing industry, aviation industry, and Internet industry, they will also make a considerable contribution to economic growth next year.

So I am still very optimistic about next year's economic growth.

If I were to judge, next year’s GDP growth rate should be around 20%!”

Wang Ye is not just talking nonsense, but it is really based on evidence.

Even in the previous life, Mao's economic development was advancing by leaps and bounds in those years, even faster than some countries in Asia. Of course, this was also due to the increase in national energy prices.

Now, after Wang Ye’s steady operation and preliminary layout in the past few years, the domestic automobile, aviation, and Internet industries in Damao are indeed much stronger than in the previous life!

And after several years of operation, it’s time to make some efforts.

That’s why Wang Ye is confident in making this judgment: next year’s GDP growth rate will not be less than 20%!

…………

After hearing Wang Ye's words, Meddev felt relieved and let out a sigh of relief.

To be honest, in the economic field, he is far inferior to Wang Ye.

Whether it is the control of the economic field or the judgment of world economic development, including vision and pattern, it is still far from enough.

After all, Wang Ye has experience in his previous life, coupled with his long-term hard work in the business field in this life, he has mastered a large amount of information that others cannot access. Combining these, he can naturally have a more accurate and long-term view of the world economic situation than others.

.

The adoptive father is also smiling. He is certainly the happiest person that the country's economy can develop so well.

After all, in the eyes of the outside world, these achievements were all achieved during his term of office, and he is the number one contributor!

"If the economic growth rate next year can maintain 20%, then... how about the expenditure budget be 50% higher than this year?" Meddev asked tentatively.

According to his statement, it is actually equivalent to cutting off a lot of the budget plan they submitted a few days ago, which can be regarded as a more sincere concession!

But this obviously did not meet Wang Ye's expectations.

Wang Ye shook his head slowly, "No, it's still too high."

Meddev became anxious immediately. After cutting so much, he was worried that he would not be able to explain to the ministers when he returned. If he cut further, he would not have the courage to communicate with the ministers.

However, he didn't dare to confront Wang Ye head-on. After all, the initiative was in Wang Ye's hands. If he said he wouldn't let you pass, he really wouldn't.

Do you really dare to shut down the government...

It is estimated that by then, not only will Wang Ye not be able to be forced to submit, but Ke Gong will lose confidence in himself and will have to consider replacing him!

Therefore, Meddev turned his attention to his adoptive father and Gazev, hoping that they could help him put in a good word.

The adoptive father coughed and hinted at Gazev.

He can't come forward directly yet. After all, if he speaks, there will be no room for maneuver.

Normally Wang Ye would give him face, but what if...

Therefore, it is better to let Gebrev come forward first. In this case, he can also act as a "buffer zone" and test Wang Ye's psychological bottom line first.

If it doesn't work if Godbrev comes forward, but as long as Wang Ye's bottom line can be found out, it will be considered a success.

When the time comes, I will “quote” according to Wang Ye’s psychological bottom line, and there will basically be no problem!

Gebrev had worked with his adoptive father for so many years, so he understood it with just one look, and immediately said with a smile:

"Since Misha you are so optimistic about next year's economic growth, it is reasonable to increase the fiscal budget appropriately. After all, many agencies in our government departments have been in dire straits these years, and even regular wages cannot be paid.

Now that the country's economy has developed, the growth rate is so high, and the finances are much better, it is reasonable to increase the budget appropriately or improve everyone's welfare benefits.

How to control this range really needs to be treated with caution, so Misha, how much do you think it should be increased?"

He was also very "cunning" and did not directly give his opinion. Instead, he asked Wang Ye what he thought and wanted Wang Ye to directly draw a line.

Wang Ye understood the psychology of the people here. Since everyone was still considered comrades in the same "camp", he didn't want to go around in circles, so he sincerely gave his opinion.

"Next year's economic growth will be as high as about 20%, and fiscal revenue is expected to reach US$260 billion, so budget expenditures should also be based on this amount.

Compared with this year’s expenditure, it has increased significantly, so it should be enough.”

The original budget plan submitted by the government was to have a budget of US$300 billion, but now Wang Ye has directly cut it by US$40 billion, which is not too much.

And even the budget of 260 billion US dollars is tens of billions of dollars higher than this year. The increase is quite large.

This will make it easier for Meddev to communicate with ministers after he returns.

At the same time, Wang Ye does not need to take money from debt issuance to fill the hole here, which is the best of both worlds.

Therefore, upon hearing this amount, the adoptive father nodded and expressed his approval.

Although Meddev was a little unwilling, he could barely accept it, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I will hold a meeting to discuss it when I go back, and after reaching an agreement, I will submit a new budget plan as soon as possible."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!…………

After discussing the budget issue, Wang Ye remembered the cooperation plan discussed with the Chinese delegation in Irkutsk and took the opportunity to mention it.

“When I went to Irkutsk to attend the pipeline opening ceremony a few days ago, I had a meeting with the Chinese delegation.

There is a large aircraft manufacturing factory there, so I discussed it with the Chinese representatives and thought that we could cooperate on a large commercial aircraft project.

Developed a large commercial passenger aircraft with independent property rights!

We will carry out technological upgrades for our existing domestic commercial passenger aircraft, and China promises that as long as the research and development is successful, it will give large orders for aircraft to cooperative factories..."

The adoptive father became interested as soon as he heard this.

He understands how huge the market for this kind of large commercial passenger aircraft is!

This is much more profitable than selling fighter jets...

If the cooperation is successful, United Airlines will really be revitalized, and it may become a new cash cow outside the energy industry in the future.

Since Wang Ye took charge of economic work, he has been seeking to "walk on two legs", that is, to support the healthy development of industries other than the energy industry.

The entire burden of the national economy cannot be placed on the energy industry.

After all, there are too many factors that influence international energy prices. Although prices have soared in the past two years, the country's economy has benefited a lot from this, but what if energy prices plummet in the future?

It’s not like I’ve never suffered a loss before…

Therefore, the Kremlin also gave great support to Wang Ye's efforts.

Let him come forward to integrate United Airlines, support him in supporting the automobile production industry, and even give Wang Ye the power to issue bonds.

That's the purpose.

…………

After Wang Ye finished speaking, his adoptive father asked: "This is a good thing, but what kind of cooperation method will the two parties adopt? How will the capital contribution ratio, shareholding ratio, etc. be divided?"

Wang Ye said with a smile: "The main thing is that we provide the technology, and both parties jointly invest. The early production is on our side, and the Chinese side can produce it on its own in the later stage. The new technologies developed are shared by both parties, as long as they are not transferred to third parties..."

The adoptive father frowned, "This way...why does it feel like we are paying more and the other party is enjoying the benefits?"

In fact, this is not the first time that the two parties have discussed cooperating in the development of large aircraft. Because the conditions were not agreed upon, cooperation has never been reached.

Because Da Mao has the technology, his asking price is relatively high and his attitude is also relatively high. The Chinese side does not want to suffer a loss, so it has been delaying it until now.

Wang Ye is relatively pragmatic and understands that this approach is beneficial to both parties.

If we miss this opportunity again, both parties will have to pay a heavy price in the future.

China has to wait nearly twenty years to develop a large aircraft with independent property rights. But on the Mao side, large passenger aircraft are completely finished, and there are no new technologies or new markets at all...

If we unite, we both benefit; if we divide, we both lose!

Perhaps only Wang Ye, with his current status and influence, has the ability, courage, and willingness to bring both parties together to reach a cooperative relationship!

So he seemed a little displeased with what his adoptive father meant, thinking that he had suffered a loss.

He smiled and said: "You can't look at it that way. On the surface, it seems that China has paid less, while we have paid more in terms of money and technology.

But after the aircraft is developed, it must be able to sell it!

The market here is almost saturated, and neighboring countries do not have the ability to purchase many new aircraft.

The Chinese side has a huge market and can provide massive orders for the joint venture, which is the key."

After listening to his explanation, the adoptive father understood Wang Ye's true thoughts.

He feels that this makes sense. The other party is exchanging the market for technology, while our side is exchanging technology for the market!

It doesn’t seem like it’s a disadvantage…

After figuring out the joints, he smiled and nodded, "I understand, this cooperation is possible! Then Misha, please contact the other party as soon as possible and try to reach a cooperation agreement.

In fact, we have a lot of high-precision technologies in our hands, but unfortunately they cannot be converted into products. Our domestic market is still too small, and it is not easy to break into the European and American markets.
