Of course, Wang Ye got the news immediately about such a major event.

But he was different from others. He didn't focus on that position, because Wang Ye couldn't be the general manager himself, and he had no suitable candidates to recommend.

Kovchenko was not interested in this position, but Rosiana really wanted to take it, but she was not qualified enough and had long been rejected by her adoptive father.

So now Wang Ye just has nothing to do with himself and can just sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.

Let's see who can stand out from this competition and get this position.

However, Wang Ye is very interested in the outgoing Kasyanov!

This man is definitely a talent.

In his previous life, Kasyanov seemed to have been "fired" from the Kremlin at about this time. After he left office, he did not hold any government office again.

Of course, it's not that he doesn't want to hold the position, but that when he was fired by the Kremlin, he let go of the "harsh words" and said that he would only hold positions elected by popular votes in the future, and would never hold the position assigned or delegated again.

kind of job.

Later, he formed his own faction and first attacked the Duma, but failed.

Then he turned his target to the Kremlin, but in the end he didn't even get the candidacy.

We cannot say that Kasyanov is incapable because of his continuous failures. After all, at that time, he had become one of the representatives of the opposition. Of course, he could not be allowed to enter the Duma or even participate in the general election...

For such a staunch opposition icon, Kasyanov’s daily job is to criticize the government and the Kremlin, and he especially likes to target someone.

He must find some faults with any policy introduced by the government. He will be interviewed by European and American media every three days to criticize the current government.

But just like that, no one did anything to him. Speaking of it, Kremlin was still very humane at times, and he was more nostalgic about old friendships.

After all, Kasyanov did make considerable contributions during his tenure. The country's economy has grown rapidly in recent years.

That's not only Mikhail's credit, Kasyanov also silently made a great contribution!

Especially when it comes to the country's foreign debt, Kasyanov can be said to be a true expert and one of the few "expert" talents among government officials.

Kasyanov's time in office is considered by many to be one of the most productive economic periods in Russia's modern history.

Between 2000 and 2004, Russia's GDP grew at an average annual rate of 6.8%.

This promoted rapid growth in personal income, with wages and salaries starting to grow at an average rate of 20% per year.

The number of poor people fell from 42 million in 2000 to 24 million in 2004.

The National Bank's gold and foreign exchange reserves rose from US$33 billion to US$87 billion, and during these years, the national budget was executed without any deficit!

Behind this series of numbers, they all represent Kasyanov's outstanding work performance.

…………

Wang Ye held a briefing in his hand. This was the Kremlin's evaluation of Kasyanov when he announced his resignation.

"Dear citizens of Russia!

In accordance with Article 117 of the National Constitution, I have made the decision to resign as the head of the government department (i.e., the General Secretary).

This decision has nothing to do with the performance of the predecessor General L's work.

During his tenure, his overall performance was satisfactory and effective..."

Throughout the announcement, when it came to the evaluation of Kasyanov, it was all positive and did not express any dissatisfaction.

It shows that the Kremlin did not fire Kasyanov because of his inability to work, but there was another hidden reason.

Of course, Wang Ye naturally knows what the real reason is.

He rarely interacted with Kasyanov in the past, and it was also for this reason. He knew that this guy was going to lose power and would offend the Kremlin, so why did he get close to him?

But now that Kasyanov has resigned, Wang Ye thinks that he can get in touch with him!

For no other reason than to take a fancy to Kasyanov's ability in the economic field and his good influence and popularity overseas. This is a rare talent.

Although Wang Ye has a clear understanding of the future development of the world, after all, he has not systematically studied economics and finance-related knowledge, and he can be regarded as a "half-way monk."

Therefore, he can formulate general strategic directions, but the specific implementation depends on the professionals below.

If Kasyanov could be recruited to assist him in that big infrastructure project, it is estimated that the work efficiency would be higher and the effect would be better.

However, before contacting Kasyanov, Wang Ye had to personally understand the attitude of the Kremlin.

Don't let the Kremlin become dissatisfied with you because you reused Kasyanov, then you will lose more than you gain...

…………

As usual, when talking about such a relatively "private" topic, Wang Ye would ask Gebrev to go to Turandot for dinner.

Still in his exclusive small private room, Wang Ye and Gebrev sat opposite each other, chatting happily while enjoying the food.

After chatting about light topics for a while, Wang Ye changed his words and said:

"I remember my first trip abroad with a delegation, which was when I followed Kasyanov to China. It was a very fruitful time and I helped Yukos and Gazprom get the largest order of the century.

Hey, I didn't expect that just over two years later, I would now become the deputy speaker of the Duma, while Kasyanov..."

But what happened? Wang Ye didn't explain, he just sighed.

But it was clear that Gorbrev knew what he wanted to say.

He nodded understandingly, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Kasyanov has a strong working ability, and under his leadership in recent years, the overall performance of the government has been competent.

However, he may be a good economic expert, but he is not a qualified leader.

He...is too close to liberals!

Moreover, some time ago, Kasyanov and the Kremlin had many different opinions on the major issue of the country's development direction.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If the Kremlin’s policies cannot be guaranteed to be implemented, then what is there to do with him?”

What he said was very straightforward, and it was like telling Wang Ye directly that although Kasyanov was very capable, he had "alien intentions" and could not be reused!

Wang Ye smiled and said jokingly: "A few months ago, I saw a media criticizing Kasyanov, saying that he was like a pretentious peacock, spreading his feathers and looking at the mirrors everywhere.

Appreciate yourself here.”

Gebrev also smiled and nodded: "Indeed, Kasyanov was still very humble when he first took office. It may be that he has really made achievements in the past few years, and gradually became arrogant, even towards

The orders of the Kremlin began to be violated in secret. If the political opinions were different, we could not continue to cooperate, so..."

"Then I understand! However, who do you plan to replace Kasyanov? This candidate should be determined soon. After all, there are many government agencies, and it is impossible for there to be no one person to coordinate and manage it." Wang

Ye asked tentatively.

Gazev pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "To tell you the truth, there is no confirmed candidate yet."

Wang Ye was a little surprised. Kasyanov was already taken down, so why was there no confirmed candidate yet?

He thought the Kremlin had already chosen someone.

"This... there will always be a target candidate. This position cannot always be vacant." Wang Ye said speechlessly.

Gebrev grinned bitterly, "Hey, who says it's not the case?

Originally, I tried to persuade...your adoptive father, who said that he would kick Kasyanov away after a certain period of time to determine the successor, but it turned out that Kasyanov has been too shameful recently.

Especially yesterday morning, the Kremlin sent an official document to the government, asking Kasyanov to advance it. Who knew that he actually called and asked why such a decision was made without consulting him, and said that he would reject it?

implement.

So your adoptive father couldn't wait any longer and issued the order directly in the afternoon."

Wang Ye also grinned and smiled bitterly. Sometimes changes in senior management are such a child's play.

There was no thrilling struggle behind it, nor was there any carefully considered decision. It was just an impulsive decision.

If outsiders knew about this, wouldn’t it feel like child’s play?

These are the things that Gazev could only say in front of himself. If it were anyone else, he would definitely not reveal them.

After all, what is the relationship between Wang Ye and Ke Gong? These are the real "own people"!

Gebrev looked at Wang Ye and said with a smile: "Actually, you are the most suitable!"

Wang Ye waved his hands quickly, "No! I have no interest in this position at all! I've done a good job on the Duma side, but I don't want to wade through the muddy waters on the government side."

Also, after the Duma change, Wang Ye can basically be said to have taken control of the situation.

How comfortable he is as the first deputy speaker, and he also holds the position of director of two high-ranking committees.

He has real power without being too pushy, which is in line with his low-key personality!

Why do we have to go to the government side? Everyone knows that there is the most intense faction fighting.

The so-called "cabinet" on Mao's side is different from that in Europe and the United States.

Cabinets in Europe and the United States are nominated by the president and can be appointed after approval by the parliament. Of course, the candidates who are nominated must be trusted by the president or belong to the same faction.

But that’s not the case with Da Mao!

Nominally, the Kremlin still nominates candidates for the General Secretary, and the Duma votes to approve it. However, you must know that the General Secretary himself is a non-factional person, and the General Secretary and ministers he appoints cannot all come from one faction, but from each.

There are people from all factions.
