"Originally, I said that I would prepare a manor for you here in Petersburg, but now I compare it to your super manor, and it's a bit hard to make a decision.

Just wait until your manor is completed and I will send you some congratulatory gifts.

I have a collection of antiques at home, all of which were passed down from the past..."

Constantine said with a smile.

Although I don't know what antiques he is talking about, considering that this is the Romanov family, the antiques passed down by that family are naturally priceless.

Wang Ye was not polite and accepted it happily.

Anyway, Rosiana is the confirmed next head of the Romanov family, so of course these collections must be passed on to her.

Now it's just a matter of giving it to her earlier...

…………

Early the next morning, as soon as Wang Ye got up to wash up and prepare for breakfast, Nova knocked on the door and came in to report to Wang Ye.

"Boss, a man who called himself Drepaska wanted to see you last night, but you had already taken a break, so I refused. Before leaving, he said that if it is convenient for you, he would like to see you today.

Before the official meeting begins, I would like to meet and talk with you. He is just below the hotel now, do you want to see him?"

Drepaska?

Isn't that the boss of Rusal Group? He finally arrived in Pikalevo.

You are so anxious to see me, you don’t need to guess why!

But for the Kremlin, this bit of face must still be given.

Wang Ye smiled and said: "Ask him if he has had breakfast. If he has not, just invite him to have breakfast with me."

…………

After a while, Nova walked in with a well-dressed and elegant middle-aged man.

Seeing Wang Ye, a smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face. He stepped forward and stretched out his right hand and said: "Hello, Speaker Mikhail, I am Drepaska, the chairman of Rusal Group."

Wang Ye nodded, stretched out his hand and shook it, "You came here so early, you probably haven't had breakfast yet, so let's eat together."

Drepaska did not show any politeness and sat down after thanking him.

The hotel's service staff has already delivered a sumptuous breakfast on a dining cart.

While eating breakfast leisurely, Drepaska glanced at Wang Ye, who was concentrating on eating, and asked tentatively: "I heard from the company staff that the Speaker will hold another discussion meeting this morning, and there will be another meeting.

live TV broadcast?"

Wang Ye said without raising his head: "Yes, this matter cannot be delayed any longer, because it has already affected the normal life of residents in Petersburg. If it is not solved quickly, bigger problems will arise."

Derepaska pondered for a moment and then said: "So... how do you want to solve it, Speaker?"

The reason why he was anxious to see Wang Ye was to understand Wang Ye's thoughts so that he could plan his response in advance.

It is said that the meeting will be broadcast live on television. If we do not handle it properly, it will not look good.

Hearing his question, Wang Ye seemed a little surprised. He raised his head and glanced at Derepaska, and said casually: "It's very simple. The wages owed to the workers will be paid immediately, and the workers will go back to work immediately. As for the internal affairs of your group, you will

It doesn't matter whether you discuss it behind closed doors or go through legal procedures, that's your own business."

Drepaska frowned, this was different from what he expected!

After hesitating for a moment, Drepaska said forcefully: "I'm sorry, we can't do this! The company has a company system. If we compromise just because employees are making trouble, how can the company continue to operate in the future?"

Perhaps because of Drepaska's background, Wang Ye was quite patient and did not get angry. He just tried to persuade him with good words: "But now it has caused extremely bad social impact, and this is no longer an internal matter of your company."

The most important thing at the moment is to solve the strike and heating problems first, and then how to deal with them within your company."

If Derepaska hadn't married someone's step-granddaughter, Wang Ye probably wouldn't have been so patient...

But Wang Ye's kind words gave Derepaska the wrong impression. He thought that Wang Ye was concerned about his background, so he behaved like this.

So, now is the time to test your determination!

If he sticks to his principles unwaveringly, then perhaps Wang Ye will retreat to the next best thing and think of other ways.

But if he gives in and agrees to his request, then Wang Ye will "succeed"!

Therefore, Derepaska shook his head repeatedly and said without giving in: "Sorry, we may not be able to do it. I think the government should exert pressure to let employees return to normal work unconditionally. As for the arrears of wages, as long as the group's internal audit

We will not lose a penny of the money that should be distributed after it is over."

What little patience Wang Ye had was exhausted. He put down the knife and fork in his hand, took out a napkin and wiped his mouth.

Then he said expressionlessly: "I am not discussing with you, but informing you. If your group is still stubborn and unwilling to give in, then the government can only take over the aluminum plant and resolve this matter."

Already."

After saying that, Wang Ye stood up and walked out of the restaurant, leaving only Derepaska standing there...

…………

At 9:30 in the morning, in the same large conference room as yesterday, all three parties were already in place.

But there were fewer people than yesterday.

Wang Ye was the only one here with his assistant Nova, and not even the mayor of Petersburg showed up.

There are only two employee representatives, one of whom is Kima who was more active in the meeting yesterday, and the other is the director of the aluminum plant.

The representatives from the Rusal Group headquarters are naturally Drepaska and his assistant who have just arrived.

Except for representatives from the three parties, they were all media reporters.

In particular, the TV station's live broadcast team set up cameras early and prepared for the live broadcast.

Although this live broadcast is only for the Peterborough area, the real-time viewership is not low. Many residents of Peterborough City are paying attention to this negotiation.

After all, the result of this negotiation is related to the subsequent heating issue!

Heating and hot water have been cut off for several days. If the supply is not restored, many people will really not be able to bear it...

Wang Ye, who was sitting in the middle, had a normal expression, while the expressions of the representatives on the left and right were much more complicated.

Drepaska's face was uncertain. He had not yet fully digested what Wang Ye said before leaving when they had breakfast together.

It's not that he couldn't hear the threat in Wang Ye's words, but he was thinking about the consequences if he really resisted to the end.

Can you bear the consequences...

As for the employee representatives, they don’t know what they are thinking.

…………

After everyone was seated, Wang Ye announced that the meeting had officially begun.

He did not give the representatives of both sides a chance to speak, because the demands of both sides had already been expressed during the meeting yesterday, and he had received them all.

Today's meeting has only one purpose, which is to resolve the dispute and restore heating as quickly as possible. Other issues are secondary.

Therefore, Wang Ye directly asked Nova to bring a document, put it in front of Parepaska, and said with a smile:

"This is a document agreeing to pay employees' unpaid wages. Please sign it."

As long as Derepaska signs the document, it will be immediately transmitted to the relevant bank, and the unpaid wages to the employees will be paid immediately.

Drepaska frowned and looked at the documents in front of him, hesitating. He did not expect that Wang Ye would come up with such a move, leaving absolutely no room for maneuver.

After hesitating for a long time, Drepaska gritted his teeth and turned to Wang Ye: "What if I don't sign?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire conference room immediately became tense.

Because this is Drepaska’s provocation to Wang Ye!

Don’t forget, this meeting was simultaneously broadcast live on television, and I don’t know how many people were watching.

Wang Ye also let go of the "big words" yesterday, saying that today's meeting must resolve the employee strike issue and restore heating in downtown Petersburg.

Now Drepaska directly defeated the entire army!

If you don't respond well, you really won't be able to step down...

Even Nova, who was sitting behind Wang Ye, felt the tense atmosphere, and beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her straight nose.

…………

Wang Ye was unhurried, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Derepaska with a half-smile.

Want to play "horrible" with yourself?

I can only say that this Drepaska is too naive!

Does he really think he can do whatever he wants with the help of the big shot behind him?

I really thought that everyone would give him some respect!

If the people behind Drepaska were still sitting in the Kremlin palace, Wang Ye might still have some worries, but now...

I am now dealing with the problem on behalf of the highest level, not here to discuss how to solve the problem with them!

Being willing to listen to their thoughts and opinions is giving them face.

But if you are shameless, then you can only announce the solution unilaterally. How can you have so much patience and time to discuss with them.
To be continued...
