Chapter 1014 Ultimatum

While Wang Ye was meeting with employee representatives and Rusal headquarters representatives, Drepaska was still on the passenger plane flying from Siberia to Petersburg.

He just received the news this morning that the deputy speaker of the Duma, Mikhail, had come to deal with this matter as a special representative, and Drepaska paid attention to it and rushed over, but he hadn't arrived in Pikarevo yet. After all, he Haven't bought a private jet yet.

Sitting in the first-class cabin, Drepaska and his deputy discussed the king's career.

"This Mikhail is said to be very good at doing things. How do you think he will deal with this aluminum factory incident?"

The assistant adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, thought for a while, and then answered confidently:

"According to his previous style of doing things, plus your boss's background, I guess he will let the Petersburg City Hall come forward to talk to the aluminum factory employees, which is tantamount to shifting the conflict.

As for the internal affairs of our group, of course we leave it to us to handle. "

Drepaska raised his brows, and asked with interest: "Why do you say that? As far as I know, Mikhail is not as friendly as he appears on the surface, and sometimes he takes heavy shots. Look at the fate of the former governor of Moscow. I knew it, and I was sent directly to the iron cage by him!"

The assistant explained calmly:

"That was a different situation.

The former governor of Moscow was the first to deal with Mikhail at the time, and Mikhail was a counterattack.

Of course he is merciless when dealing with enemies, but he is much more tactful when dealing with friends or people who can get a little relationship.

Really, the boss and you still belong to the same faction, and you both have an unusual relationship with the Kremlin.

Even if he doesn't look at your face, it also depends on your wife's grandfather's face, right?

just in case!

I mean, if he doesn't even give face to the former Kremlin, will the current Kremlin let him mess around? "

Drepaska smiled reservedly. Of course he also knew these things, but now he said it through the mouth of his assistant, which strengthened his confidence even more!

I have almost monopolized the domestic aluminum industry market, completed the accumulation of wealth, and plan to develop into the political arena in the next step.

This time, he is going to use strong means to deal with this matter, let some people know his style of doing things, and leave a preliminary impression on everyone.

In this way, after entering the political arena in the future, there should be a lot less trouble...

Because when most people want to provoke themselves, they will first consider their own revenge!

Wang Ye naturally didn't know what Derapaska was thinking on the plane, and he didn't care.

Now he is speaking in front of the reporter's camera in the conference room.

After the representatives of both sides expressed their appeals, it is obviously impossible to solve the problem immediately today.

Because none of Rusal's real officials were present.

Wang Ye didn't talk nonsense with them anymore, but directly made the final speech.

Looking at the camera, Wang Ye said with a serious expression: "I won't say anything superfluous. Now, on behalf of the Kremlin and the Duma, I promise to the citizens of Petersburg that this matter will be completely resolved by tomorrow at the latest! Tomorrow, I will hold the final meeting with representatives of the employees of the aluminum plant and the chairman of Rusal Group, which will be broadcast live on TV at the same time, and everyone is welcome to watch it on TV in real time."

His words were so loud that many people in the conference room were shocked.

Because this is not a big talk, but an ultimatum!

Everything you say in front of the reporter's camera must be fulfilled!

If the problem cannot be solved tomorrow, how will others view Wang Ye?

To put it more seriously, it would be a discredited reputation!

The mayor of Petersburg is sweating on his nose. It may be that the electric heater in the meeting room is turned on a little too much, and it is a little too hot...

At the end of the meeting, the employee representatives, RUSAL representatives, journalists and media all dispersed. Only Wang Ye, his assistant Nova, two members of the Economic Committee, the mayor of Petersburg and several people from the Petersburg City Hall were left in the meeting room. staff member.

Now they are all on their own, and everyone talks behind closed doors, so naturally they say what they have.

The mayor of Petersburg said a little worriedly: "Speaker Mikhail, what you said just now...was it a bit of a no-brainer? Is tomorrow's meeting really going to be broadcast live on TV? What if there is a stalemate at the scene?" What should I do if I live?"

He does worry about that.

Because the attitude of Rusal Group headquarters is very firm, he has also talked with Drapaska on the phone these days, and it can be heard that Drapaska is definitely unwilling to give in.

What about Mikhail tomorrow?

Wang Ye smiled slightly, and said confidently: "It doesn't matter, any conflict can be resolved, as long as you can find the right method. I believe that the meeting tomorrow will go smoothly. It's not such a complicated issue."

The mayor of Petersburg looked at Wang Ye blankly. He didn't know why Wang Ye was so confident.

Is there really any clever way that I didn't think of?

The main point of contradiction now is...

Arrears of wages to employees, that is, money!

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. If it wasn't for Wang Ye's face, he would have slapped his thigh...

Because he remembered, the Mikhail in front of him was not just the deputy speaker of the Duma!

He is still the famous "God of Wealth"!

It is said that... no, this is not a rumor, but it is absolutely true. This God of Wealth is holding more than 100 billion US dollars in his hand now!

cash!

The industry fund office is the hottest topic in the political arena recently.

Although he is far away from the political center of Moscow, he is also the mayor of Petersburg, and his position is not low. Of course, he will also pay attention to the trends in Moscow.

So, Mikhail's statement just now can be explained.

The worst result is nothing more than Rusal's headquarters not giving in and unwilling to pay the workers' wages in arrears. Then Mikhail can find any reason, and the Industrial Fund Office allocates a sum of money to advance the workers' wages. .

Then the problem will be solved easily!

That night, Wang Ye did not return to downtown Petersburg, but stayed directly.

Although the accommodation conditions here are relatively poor, completely incomparable with Petersburg, Wang Ye doesn't care.

In the evening, an unexpected guest rushed over. It was Rosiana's grandfather Constantine.

Wang Ye hasn't seen this old man for a while, but it seems that Constantine is still so tough and energetic.

Seeing Wang Ye, Constantine smiled and gave Wang Ye a big hug.

"Haha, Misha, it's been a long time. You and Rosiana are doing very well in your career. I'm very happy for you."

Of course he was happy.

My own granddaughter has now served as the governor of Moscow State!

Also established her own faction, the scale is not small...

After accumulating for a few more years, Rosiana may even hope to reach the highest position!

If there is Wang Ye's full support at that time, then the husband and wife will join hands, and the entire Moscow political arena will hardly find any opponents!

The re-emergence of my own family is expected!

After asking Constantine to sit down, Wang Ye asked, "Grandpa, why are you here so late?"

He was already engaged to Rosiana, so he naturally followed Rosiana in calling Constantine "Grandpa".

Constantine said with a hearty smile: "Didn't I hear that you came to Petersburg? I thought you would live in the city at night, so I didn't come here in advance, and you ended up staying here tonight. I'll leave immediately after finishing the matter tomorrow, so I rushed over to meet you and chat casually."

Said they were chatting casually, but it was obvious that there was something going on, but Wang Ye didn't point it out.

Sure enough, after chatting for a while, Constantine turned the topic to the main topic. He asked, "I heard that your industry fund office is working on a big project, the kind that invests billions or even tens of billions of dollars!"

Wang Ye thought for a while, and said blankly: "Ah? Is there? I didn't pay much attention to it. After all, there are quite a lot of projects in the Industrial Fund Office. Maybe I didn't pay attention to it."

Konstantin sighed, "Hey, can't the tens of billions of projects get into your eyes now?"

He is really emotional, because what Wang Ye said just now may be true, and he really didn't pay attention to this billion-dollar project...

Wang Ye quickly waved his hands and smiled: "That's not true. It's just that I haven't paid much attention to the work of the fund office these days. Maybe they have sent the report up, and I haven't bothered to read it. Grandpa, just say it directly. What kind of project is it, what do you think, is there still a difference between the two of us?"

Konstantine stopped going around in circles, and said bluntly:

"The Industrial Fund Office is said to be leading the development of wafer and chip factories. I am more interested in this industry, and I also have channels to obtain equipment and talents.

I wanted to do this project a few years ago, but it required too much money, so I never made up my mind.

Now that the Industrial Fund Office takes the lead and can solve the funding problem, I want to cooperate with the Industrial Fund Office to do this. "

Wang Ye nodded and said: "This is a good thing, but wafer and chip processing is very troublesome, the investment is large and the results are slow, and the future income is not guaranteed. Grandpa, have you really considered it clearly?"

Many people tend to confuse wafers and chips. In fact, these are two different things and belong to different processes.

To put it simply, a wafer is a more basic thing, referring to the production process of processing semiconductor devices on a single crystal silicon wafer. There are thousands of identical integrated circuits and other devices on each silicon wafer.

The chip is a product after wafer processing.

But the two are inseparable. Basically, those who manufacture wafers will also do chip foundry.

Because Wang Ye has previous life experience, he clearly knows how important this thing will be in the future!

So he took advantage of the current time window, that is, the global relationship is relatively harmonious, even if the purchase of wafer production equipment is basically unobstructed, he quickly established the fab.

With his own strong financial resources, he continued to spend money regardless of the cost. After more than ten years, the number one fab in the world should not be a factory on a certain island, but his own fab!

At that time, I can sell it to whoever I want, and I don't need to look at Lao Mei's face at all!

Being able to master the most advanced wafer manufacturing technology is basically equivalent to "limping" one of Lao Mei's legs, and he has the initiative...

Wang Ye mentioned in the Kremlin that chips in the future will be strategic resources like crude oil and natural gas!

Therefore, even if the investment is large, even if it does not make money, it must be done!

The main purpose of his establishment of the Industrial Fund Office is to support the chip industry.

Elena has also been preparing for this goal.

Now Constantine suddenly said that he was interested in this project and wanted to participate, of course Wang Ye would not refuse.

He also knows Constantine's energy. Since he dares to speak "big words" in front of him, it is probably more reliable. He can really get the most advanced equipment and talents.

With these two things, plus the financial support from my own side, the chip industry is really not difficult.

So he nodded and said bluntly: "I support this matter in principle. When the time comes, grandpa, or send someone to talk to the Industrial Fund Office, I will talk to Elena after I return to Moscow." this matter.

By the way, will the fab be built here in Petersburg in the future? "

The reason why Wang Ye asked this is because the headquarters of the Constantine family is on the Petersburg side.

Constantine shook his head and said, "No, it should be placed in Moscow. First, there are more high-end talents there, and the city is larger. It is more suitable for such technology-intensive enterprises to be placed there. Second, the current Moscow The governor is Rosiana, if such a big project is not placed in her territory, but in Petersburg, I think she will pull my beard when she comes back, haha..."

Speaking of this, Constantine laughed out loud.

Wang Ye also smiled, he understood what Constantine meant.

Although Constantine said it as a joke, he is actually supporting Rosiana's work and accumulating prestige and qualifications for her!

So, in order to support the career development of his granddaughter, Constantine has gone all out...

After chatting about business, the two chatted.

Konstantin mentioned something with a smile, "Misha, I heard that you are going to build a super manor in the center of Moscow, which will be used as the home for you and Rosiana to marry and live in in the future. Rosiana said that you are going to spend 40 It's a bit too extravagant to build this manor!"

Wang Ye shook his head and said: "It's not a luxury, it's mainly because I have taken a fancy to that manor, but it really costs so much money to make it more decent. It just so happens that I have received so many dividends this year, so I simply They were all used to build the manor.

Hearing that Wang Ye spent four billion dollars to build a manor lightly, Constantine also sighed in his heart.

What Forbes list, what old family, what European royal family, in front of Misha, it is really incomparable!

How much money has this kid made in the past few years!

Through this manor, you can see how rich and powerful he is...
