Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Obviously, Shao Yigu would not refuse Wang Ye's "summoning", not to mention that this time he was going to talk about the budget issue that he was most concerned about recently.

So I showed up at Wang Ye's office on time.

The two are old friends, there is nothing to be polite, and they will go straight to the topic after sitting down.

"I want 30 billion U.S. dollars! If it's less than this amount, it won't be of much use." Shao Yigu said frankly, but he didn't open his mouth like a lion.

30 billion U.S. dollars, compared to the extra budget that Wang Ye gave him in the past two years, is 10 billion more, which is within a reasonable range.

After all, the current Shao Yigu has a different identity from before, so he should give him more face!

Wang Ye thought for a while, and said bluntly: "Okay! There is no problem with 30 billion, but the money must be used wisely, and can only be purchased... Forget it, it is estimated that the money will not be able to buy any decent warships, how about It’s time to purchase all fighter jets. The Sukhoi Design Institute under the United Aviation Group has recently produced a world-leading fighter jet, have you seen it?”

"Pfft, only Sukhoi can produce a world-leading fighter? Can it be compared to the F22? It really can't, it must be not too different from the F35. You don't mean the SU35, right? The fourth-and-a-half-generation aircraft is also very capable of air confrontation, but the problem is that it is not stealthy! When you really want to face those fifth-generation aircraft, you can’t see other people’s stealth. Just bully the other fourth-generation and third-generation aircraft." Shao Yigu smiled disapprovingly.

Also, since the SU27 was produced in the 1970s, Sukhoi has never produced any decent results.

The follow-up improved model SU35, took out the prototype in the 1980s, but encountered the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, so this project stagnated. Started, took out the final version of the SU35, and it was about to enter service. Shao Yigu knew about this aircraft.

But behind closed doors, the so-called fourth-and-a-half-generation SU35 is just a gimmick. As long as it cannot be invisible, it still cannot be called the fifth-generation machine!

And the F22 he mentioned was developed by my old beauty in the 1990s, and now it has been put into service and has formed combat effectiveness!

There is a generation difference between F22, SU27 and SU35, which is a whole generation ahead.

Not to mention the F22, even the "beggar's version of the F22", that is, the F35, has already made its first flight, and will soon be officially in service.

If the price of the F22 is too high, almost no other country except the US can afford it, but the price of the F35 is much cheaper, and this aircraft will become the mainstream model in the future.

Therefore, the fighter that Shao Yigu most hopes to be able to purchase should be similar to the F35 in terms of performance parameters, and should not be too far behind, otherwise there is no need to replace it. It is better to get a few more "big black fish".

Wang Ye smiled slightly, and said calmly: "It's really comparable to the F35! This newly developed fighter, I temporarily named it SU57, and its performance parameters are already fifth-generation fighters!"

Shao Yigu was stunned all of a sudden.

Fifth generation machine ah!

Since Laomei took out the F22, to be honest, all other countries in the world can only look up to it, because the gap is too big!

F22 is a stealth fifth-generation aircraft, and compared with all the records of other countries, it is an era ahead.

It has been more than ten years now, but still no country has come up with a new fifth-generation machine, so that Laomei himself feels that he is too far ahead, and the heights are too cold.

Moreover, the F22 is too powerful and invincible, and its performance is seriously "excessive". In addition, its price is indeed ridiculously expensive, and an aircraft costs 200 million US dollars!

What's more, this aircraft technology does use too much "black technology". If Lao Mei doesn't even sell it to her allies, she can only bear all the research and development costs by herself, resulting in the production cost not being able to come down.

So I couldn't bear it anymore, so I simply made a "youth version" of the F35, the price has dropped, and it can be exported to all allies.

When Shao Yigu looked at other people's F22 and F35, he was so greedy that he salivated, but he couldn't help it, and it was impossible to buy it.

So I can only buy my own SU35. Although it is not as good as the fifth-generation machine of Laomei, it is still a relatively leading model in the world.

The so-called four-and-a-half-generation fighters like the SU35 are not cheap. The selling price is as high as 80 million US dollars a machine, and the internal cost price is 40 to 50 million US dollars!

This price even has to catch up with the price of the old American fifth-generation machine F35!

There is no way, the sales volume is poor, and there are few countries willing to purchase, so the output will naturally be low, and the cost will not be suppressed.

…………

After a long time, Shao Yigu, who came back to his senses, grabbed Wang Ye's arm and asked eagerly, "Aren't you joking! Why haven't I heard of this?"

Wang Ye laughed and said: "This project was launched three years ago after the establishment of the United Airlines Group. It is classified as top-secret, and only the Kremlin and I know about it. Now that the research and development results have been developed, the first flight will be unveiled soon. So I can let you know."

Ordinarily, the research and development of this kind of fighter is absolutely inseparable from the cooperation of the military. Otherwise, if you take out a fighter that you think is very advanced, but actually does not meet the requirements of the military, then what good is it?

But the SU57 project is different, because this project has actually been started a long time ago, but because the funds were cut off after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, the project was temporarily sealed.

After Wang Ye led the establishment of the United Aviation Group, he learned about it when communicating with people from the Sukhoi Design Bureau. Of course, he knew the advantages and disadvantages of the fifth-generation aircraft, so he decisively invested funds to restart the project.

At the same time, he also knew that Da Mao's side had been heavily infiltrated by foreign forces. In order to prevent technology leakage, he raised the level of secrecy to a very high level, and very few people knew about this project.

He only told Shao Yigu after the project was successful.

The purpose is naturally to hope that Shao Yigu will place a big order as soon as possible, so that this relatively advanced fifth-generation aircraft can be mass-produced as soon as possible.

As a result, Shao Yigu was discouraged when he heard it, "It's just the first flight? If it really needs to be mass-produced and served in the military, wouldn't it be three or five years later?"

That is to say, there is a long process between the development of an advanced fighter plane, its first flight, its continuous test flight, and finally its mass production and service.

If it is fast, it will take three to five years, if it is slow, I don't know how long it will be...

Wang Ye said with a smile: "If you placed the order earlier and paid for it earlier, then the United Airlines Group will naturally be able to concentrate its technical strength to tackle key problems and put this aircraft into mass production and service earlier."

Only then did Shao Yigu realize that Wang Ye was waiting for him at this place!

He shook his head helplessly and said, "Didn't we discuss increasing my military expenditure today? Why do I feel like I was fooled by you? Did the money go to your United Airlines Group without my hands?"

Wang Ye comforted him and said: "Originally, the purpose of your application for this extra military expenditure is to purchase advanced equipment. Money cannot improve combat effectiveness, but advanced equipment can! I can tell you one more thing, that is the United Airlines Group It has been operating well in the past few years, and the funds are relatively abundant, so more advanced models will appear sooner and more in the future. In fact, including the current SU57, I am not too satisfied, it is still a little bit interesting.”

Shao Yigu deeply sympathized with Wang Ye's words.

It's really hard to move an inch without money!

In terms of technology and research and development capabilities, Da Mao is really worthy of any country, otherwise the military strength in the former Soviet Union would not be so strong.

In some fields, even the old and beautiful can be beaten.

Later, there was really no money, and the brain drain was serious. Naturally, it was impossible to continue scientific research, so it gradually produced backwardness in many fields.

If, as Wang Ye said, funding is no longer a problem, then we can really look forward to it in the future.

So he said bluntly: "Since you have said that, Speaker, what else can I say. Well, half of the 30 billion US dollars is used to order SU35 and SU57. Although SU57 is more advanced, but after all, SU57 It will take a few years for mass production to enter service, and the SU35 can be delivered soon, so we still need to purchase some. The other half, we still need to purchase other equipment. Hey, in fact, everything is missing, including fighter jets, transport aircraft, armored vehicles, and warships , There are places to spend money everywhere."

Wang Ye patted him on the shoulder, expressing his understanding, and comforted him: "Take your time, you can't become fat if you eat one bite. Now that the country's economic development is getting better and better, the more military expenditures will be allocated every year in the future. This point Don't worry."

Shao Yigu stood up, bowed solemnly to Wang Ye, and said seriously: "Then... I will leave everything to you, Speaker!"

To Wang Ye, he is not only grateful, but also respectful.

Since the two had known each other, although Wang Ye would occasionally ask him or Korokoli to do some private affairs, arrange subordinates and the like.

But in terms of big things, Wang Ye is really the most selfless of all the people he knows!

Everything we do is for this country to become better and stronger...

Of course, he didn't know that Wang Ye was "passive". On this point, Shao Yigu couldn't understand it, but Kegong knew it well.

The adoptive father will say that he has been "staring" at Wang Ye...

…………

This year's government budget was passed very smoothly, which also shows that the tacit understanding among the Duma, the Kremlin, and the government is getting higher and higher.

They have gotten along well with each other, respect and understand each other, and no one will make small moves or make excessive demands, so the other two parties will naturally not embarrass him.

Of course, among the three forces, the most powerful is still the Kremlin, which holds the absolute initiative, but is also checked and restrained by the other two parties.

After all, if the Kremlin wants to make a big move, it must first be passed in the Duma, and then the government must be willing to cooperate and carry it out...

The same is true for the Duma. In itself, the Duma has no executive power, only legislative power, so the previous Duma was just a decoration, a voting machine.

It was only after Wang Ye served as the first deputy speaker, took control of the Duma, and led two committees that this situation was broken.

Although the Duma still has no executive power, Wang Ye can directly jump out of the shackles of the Duma for many things and implement them through committees. Combined with the approval and legislative power of the Duma itself, this is very powerful!

The government has nothing to say. Originally, the main positions were nominated and appointed by the Kremlin. Of course, the general direction must be consistent with that of the Kremlin.

Otherwise, the Nak Palace can dissolve the current government at any time and form a new cabinet!

But in general, the Kremlin would not do this. After all, those who can serve as the head of the general and major departments are basically the core backbone of their own faction or other big factions, and they have to give some face, otherwise it will be easy. lead to betrayal.

Last time, although he dismissed his position in the General Li, he did not move any core departments, which shows that he is also very scrupulous about causing backlash...

So now at the top level, if you really want to rank them in order, then from strong to weak they are the Kremlin, the Duma, and the government...

It is needless to say who the representatives of these three parties are.

For this point, there are not many people who can really see clearly, but they are all the core figures of the major factions.

Therefore, Wang Ye, the "Deputy Speaker of the Duma", may not be considered a real big shot in the eyes of non-top politicians in the cities below and abroad.

But in the eyes of some people, he is already the second most important figure!

…………

After working on the budget, it was already the end of December, and Wang Ye received another call from the other side of the ocean.

It was from Joe Gang...

"Mikhail, if you have time, I hope you can come to the press conference in person.

Because this moment is of historic significance to Apple.

I think that from the day of the press conference, Apple has truly become a great company, changing the world with technology!

And I, and you, are the creators of this great company!

So at this historic moment, it's best for both of us to be there. "

On the phone, Chief Qiao's tone was unusually serious, and he extended an invitation to Wang Ye very sincerely.

In the heart of Gang Leader Qiao, he was indeed very grateful to Wang Ye.

It was this "Russian" who "selflessly" extended a helping hand when Apple was in its most difficult time, and directly injected a huge amount of money into the company!

The most valuable thing is that he has not made any unreasonable demands, and he has clearly supported a series of proposals on the board of directors.

Such a shareholder should be the dream of all company CEOs!

Even the upcoming new product that could change the world in the eyes of Gang Leader Qiao was made with the strong support of Wang Ye.

When Joe’s leader proposed that the company should invest huge sums of money to establish this new project, many people on the board of directors objected, thinking that there are giants such as Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony, and Ericsson in mobile phones, which have already become the Red Sea market, and the profits The rate is not high, so there is no need to go in and mix it up.

It was Wang Ye, the major shareholder, who firmly supported Qiao Gangzhu, so this project could be successfully approved.

Now, the first generation of products is about to come out, and Qiao Gangzhu naturally hopes to share this wonderful moment with Wang Ye... (End of this chapter)
