Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

At this moment, the motorcade had moved from far to near and arrived at where Zhang Xiaoxi and the others were standing.

Zhang Xiaoxi stood on tiptoe and looked at the cars in the middle of the motorcade. They were all Mercedes-Benz!

She recognized this car logo because her old classmate Wang Ye also drove a Mercedes-Benz G when he went home for the New Year...

The speed of the motorcade was so fast that Zhang Xiaoxi didn't even see clearly who was sitting in the car. Of course, the window glass was dark, so even if it stopped in front of her, she probably wouldn't be able to see clearly.

So she didn't know that Wang Ye, her old classmate whom she had just thought of, was, by coincidence, sitting in the car where she stretched her head and looked out, talking to Wang Xueqing...

Hearing what her classmates said, she grinned and joked: "I think people who can sit in these cars are more handsome! If I can ride in such a convoy in the future, it will really be a life worth living."

Her classmate was stunned for a moment. Apparently Zhang Xiaoxi's words were a bit out of line and she couldn't understand them.

What kind of status does a person have to be able to ride in such a convoy!

…………

The motorcade arrived at the steps in front of the General Assembly Hall and stopped one after another.

Wang Ye and others got off the car and saw the Chinese representatives waiting in front of the steps.

Of course, on this occasion, the focus was Kasyanov and those ministers. Wang Ye, Alexei and other members of the morning delegation did not step forward to "steal the limelight."

After they exchanged greetings and shook hands, everyone marched up the steps and entered the Great Hall.

In the huge conference room that had been arranged for a long time, Wang Ye felt familiar at first glance.

However, he was sure that this was his first time here, and he would never have had the opportunity to enter such a place before or in his previous life.

But why does it feel familiar?

After thinking about it, Wang Ye burst into laughter. No wonder he thought it looked familiar. That's because he often saw it on Xinwen Network!

There was a red carpet on the floor, and there were several sofas covered with embroidered hollow covers at the far end of the conference room.

The two sofas are located in the middle, which is obviously where Kasyanov and Mr. Zhu sit.

Then along both sides, a long row of sofas was placed.

People from both parties sat on one side, and naturally there were staff to guide everyone to their places.

Although he didn't sit on the sofas at the back, Wang Ye's position was still relatively close to the front, right next to the big bosses.

After everyone sat down, they started a process like those on TV news, and started a friendly and lively conversation...

Because he had nothing to do in the morning, Wang Ye was not interested in the content of the negotiation. On the surface, he smiled and listened carefully to the conversation of the big guys.

In fact, my mind has been "empty" for a long time, and I don't know where my thoughts have gone...

Behind Wang Ye, there are also chairs, but they are not sofas.

Sitting here are the entourage, like Nova and Elena sitting behind Wang Ye.

The two of them didn't dare to be distracted and listened intently to the conversation in front of them.

Nova didn't quite understand. After all, she was still young and didn't care much about national affairs. If she hadn't been an assistant to Wang Ye, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to be exposed to this level.

Elena listened with great interest. She had worked in the Duma for a while, and now she was Wang Ye's first assistant. The things she handled on a daily basis were naturally of a very high level.

But this was her first time to participate in such a national-level meeting.

Elena understands how rare such an opportunity is, so she is very attentive, eagerly observing and learning all kinds of things that are useful to her.

The "long" morning is finally over.

The talks ended successfully in a friendly atmosphere.

There was warm applause in the conference hall, and Wang Ye also clapped his hands several times, and finally he could eat...

This is the legendary state banquet!

…………

In the splendid banquet hall, there are about twenty large round dining tables placed loosely.

The size of the Russian delegation this time is not small, with a total of 70 or 80 people coming.

Including the Chinese reception staff, the total number was nearly 200 people.

The dining table is covered with a snow-white tablecloth, and a dazzling array of tableware is neatly placed there.

Wang Ye and Alexey sat at table number two, which was considered the middle position, next to Kasyanov and the others.

After sitting down, in addition to tableware and cups, Wang Ye also saw a menu, which was the dish that would be served later.

After all, we are hosting foreign guests, so we won’t be serving large plates of food for everyone to eat with chopsticks together...

They are all single-serve, the portions are small, but there are many dishes!

In order, there are cold dishes, main dishes, soups, and snacks and fruits.

Wang Ye picked up the menu and looked at it with great interest. The cold dish was a palace lantern platter, which was made up of crystal shrimp, bean curd fish rolls, foie gras batch, scallion vegetable dumplings, and thousand-layer tofu cake.

Main course: lotus steak, bird's nest fresh vegetables, cod with sauce, and roast duck with fruit wood.

Soup: Melon cup and pine mushroom soup.

Just looking at the names of the dishes, there are no particularly expensive ingredients, and they are not as good as what Wang Ye usually eats at Turandot Restaurant.

But Wang Ye believes that the state banquet chefs will not let him down.

The most amazing thing about Chinese food is that it "turns decay into magic" and uses ordinary ingredients to create wonderful flavors!

Of course, the ingredients that can be served at the state banquet will not be too ordinary...

Before starting to eat, the representative spoke again.

Obviously, knowing that everyone was already hungry, the two of them did not say much. After each person came on stage and said a few words, the formal state banquet began.

Rows of waiters and waitresses in red uniforms walked in, holding plates of food.

It's obvious that those who can work as waiters here are also well-trained.

Although there were so many tables in the lobby, they still lined up in an orderly manner and walked towards the tables they were responsible for.

Start serving!

…………

The meal took nearly two hours!

After having enough wine and food, and taking a short rest, the members of the delegation began to move separately according to their own itineraries.

Obviously, only now has the work of the delegation really begun.

Wang Ye only had one thing on his agenda in the afternoon, which was to meet with people from the petroleum and petrochemical department to start discussing oil and gas cooperation between the two parties.

Alexei will of course be with him.

Their negotiation is the real highlight of this delegation!

Kasyanov has high expectations for this.

If we can really win a super big deal during this meeting, it will be his credit.

However, he was also very able to keep his composure, and he understood that good things often come slowly, so he took some time after dinner to come over and tell Wang Ye and Alexei to stay calm and come in a steady manner.

Be sure not to make random promises that you can't do just for the so-called super big deal.

It is no exaggeration to say that this kind of super big order is a major matter that can affect the national finance. No one expects to negotiate it in one go...
