After learning the lesson of being ambushed by Renato in Moscow, every time he returned to Moscow, the first thing Vladimir did was to ask his bodyguards to check the situation along the way. After everything was safe, his convoy
Only then will he hit the road.
This time was no exception. Vasily was responsible for the previous security reconnaissance work. After reviewing it and seeing nothing unusual, Vasily notified Victor that the convoy could move forward.
After meeting his parents at the manor, Vladimir first took out the gifts he had prepared. He gave his father, Mr. Maxim, a pipe made of ivory, and gave his mother a limited edition
Lancôme cosmetics.
Although these gifts are nothing to wealthy people, Vladimir's filial piety is still enough to make Maxim and Sofia feel quite happy.
As usual, after dinner, Vladimir and his father Maxim had a long conversation in the study. This was an old habit of father and son.
The moment the study door closed, Vladimir went straight to the point. He told his father that he was going to run for the governorship of Volga.
When Maxim heard this, he was as surprised as Vladimir imagined.
"Do you really have a plan to run for governor?" Maxim's inner surprise was instantly replaced by joy. To be honest, he had never thought of running for governor when he was at his most prosperous, but because of Ivan at that time
The group had too many things for him to deal with, and Maxim was worried that his energy would be dispersed by running for governor, and that he might not be able to do both tasks well by then. This is why his ideas are just ideas.
Now that his son has the idea of running for governor, Maxim feels extremely relieved.
Men need to pursue power and wealth throughout their lives, but many outstanding men can only have one, either power or wealth. Almost no one can have both power and wealth at the same time.
And now his son, Mr. Vladimir, who is only twenty-four years old, has the idea of pursuing power and wealth at the same time. In Maxim's view, even if his son fails in this governor's election,
That is also a very valuable asset. After all, he is not old and has a long road ahead in life. You must know that the current average age of governors of Mao Ziguo is over forty years old.
Faced with his father's doubts, Vladimir said without hesitation that he was not acting on a whim or joking, but that he really had the idea to develop further.
Maxim nodded with great satisfaction, "Your idea is very good, kid, I support you, but you must also be prepared to fail in the election. As far as I know, the average age of governors in our country is currently
Over forty years old, you are only twenty-four years old, still very young."
"Of course I am prepared to fail in the election, but I am still quite confident about my election." Vladimir said confidently.
"Oh, tell me, how can you be confident? First of all, are you familiar with the basic situation in Volga?"
"Of course I am familiar with it. Volga is located to the west of Moscow, next to Ukolan. The area of this state is 400,000 square kilometers, one-third of which is plain, two-thirds of which are hills, and there are two
A port..."
Facing his father's first test, Vladimir was quite familiar with the situation in Volga, and he almost always spoke without thinking.
The first test was just a basic introduction. Maxim asked again: "Then do you know why the Volga region has such a superior geographical location, but its development is relatively backward?"
"I think the main reason is the awareness of the national crisis. Since it is too close to Ukolan, it is not a good thing..." Vladimir answered from the perspective of geopolitics this time.
Maxim couldn't help but nodded while listening.
"The key is that geopolitics cannot be changed by you alone. It is related to national interests. If you become the governor of Volga, what are your best ways to ensure that your state can develop rapidly without sacrificing
The interests of our family come first."
"My idea is to set up appropriate buffer zones. In the buffer zone, crop cultivation and fishery development are the main areas. In the mountainous areas, we mainly develop tourism and wood processing..."
In fact, what Vladimir said is not particularly complicated, but few people dare to implement it in this direction.
So Vladimir has the courage, he dares to implement it, and work hard towards his set goals. This is the main reason why he is so confident.
"I support you, kid. I had this idea when I was young, but my energy and ability were limited at that time..." Maxim's attitude was very clear, that is, he supported his idea unconditionally.
He even had a phone call with his old friends, hoping to use their abilities to support Vladimir.
Although the feelings between the old friends are very deep, Vladimir is a young man in his twenties after all, so many of these old friends still have doubts.
Vladimir's own approach was even simpler. During his stay in Mao Zedong, he met with Sarkovsky, Arshavin and others, and strongly expressed his intention to run for governor of Volga.
Salkovsky initially wanted to persuade him, but after seeing his confidence, he began to look at him with admiration and expressed his strong willingness to support him.
As for Arshavin, he clearly expressed his support from the beginning. After all, as a big boss in the military, he also needs the support of local forces. If Vladimir can get his wish and become the governor of Volga, then it is foreseeable
Yes, it will be much more convenient for him to do things in Volga.
After going around, Vladimir received the support of many capable bosses. He also went to the Volga State Assembly with great interest and submitted a personal registration form to run for governor.
This time it suddenly caused a huge news sensation. The 24-year-old heir to the Ivan family was running for governor of Volga.
Such a young candidate seems to be unique in the history of Mao Zedong. Even the staff of the parliament went through the campaign procedures and conditions and found that there is no age limit for candidates.
"Maybe this guy will really become the governor of Volga." The staff member said to himself.
