Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

  Chapter 782 Mi Gongzi pays the bill

  As the month of June, people who often watch TV or newspapers and magazines will be surprised to feel that something seems abnormal recently.

   Because there are too many political figures in various media!

   All of them are well-dressed, and their words are "patriotic", "economic" and "freedom"!

   It’s a bit like the key moments of the general election in previous years, but there is no election this year. The general election will only start next year…

   And those who know the inside story will understand what's going on.

   The newly established faction of Khovchenko, and the third faction led by Mikhail, have already launched their election campaign a year in advance!

   This makes many people a little stunned. Is the effect really good for so long in advance?

   Everyone can only sigh that this is rich and willful!

   In next year's general election, there will be two super oligarchs. It is estimated that there will be a lot of fun to watch.

   One Hofchenko, one Mikhail, both are very representative.

  Hovchenko, this is definitely a representative of the old generation of oligarchs, and is currently the only old generation oligarch with no accident and the highest net worth.

  Mikhail, he should belong to a new generation of young oligarchs, and his rise is extremely fast!

   In just two or three years, no one knows to no one knows!

   The net worth is even better than that of the old generation of oligarchs like Hovchenko!

  The most outrageous thing is that the two are still uncles and nephews...

   It can only be said that the "Old Huo family" is a talented person...

  …

   In the Duma Building recently, the members of the third faction were all beaming with red faces, and they walked with wind.

  No way, who let them have a generous "boss".

   As soon as the shot is made, it will be a campaign fund of 200 million US dollars, and everyone in the faction has a share!

   Originally, there were not many members of the third faction. This is just a penny. The minimum campaign funding for each incumbent member is five million dollars.

   This is not to say that it is enough, it is simply a waste!

   No wonder the faction has started campaigning right now. I guess it’s too much money, I’m afraid it won’t be able to spend it all by then…

   During this period, every member of the third faction, especially the backbone members, received a document from the office of Deputy Speaker Mikhail.

   And everyone receives different content, because this is a campaign plan tailored to each MP!

   There is a timetable in it, what time to have a TV interview, when to accept an exclusive interview with a major media, when to go to what constituency to do a ground push, and when to go to a roadshow…

   All the content is backed by huge funds.

  In the past, many councillors dared to be so "luxurious", even a well-valued councillor could not resist such extravagance.

  But now, all the bills are paid by "Midongzi"!

  Everyone just needs to come up with a "person"...

   Therefore, in the Duma recently, when members of the third faction met with members of other factions, the chat content was similar.

"Hey, I heard that you have been interviewed by two TV stations in a row recently. The show has a lot of influence and the ratings are also high. It seems that you are stable in the next parliamentary election. What happened to your faction recently? How come when you turn on the TV and read the newspaper, it's all your people."

   "Haha, actually I don't want it either. It's all arranged within the faction. Isn't there an election next year? We are a small faction, and our competitiveness is not as good as your big faction, so we can only fly first and promote it in advance."

"Tsk tsk, Mikhail seems to be really rich, and he is willing to spend it. All those bigwigs in our faction are pretending to be deaf and dumb. When it comes to the election next year, it is too early to say, do it now. Propaganda is a waste of money. In my opinion, they are obviously reluctant to spend money. Why have your faction and Khovchenko's faction started propaganda?

   "Hehe, no, come over to our faction, you know, our faction has less people and more money, and continues to be the backbone. If you come over, you will immediately experience the feeling of doing an exclusive interview and vomiting..."

  …

  Don't mention it, there have been a lot of people from the first and second factions recently, who came to Wangye's office to talk about them, and vaguely expressed their desire to "jump jobs" to come to the third faction.

   They didn't dare to say it explicitly. After all, the Duma three giants just made a joint statement a few days ago, prohibiting incumbent members from switching factions or something.

   Mikhail himself was one of the initiators of the statement.

   But they couldn't help it. There was no way. The first faction and the second faction already had more people, and their financial resources were no match for the third faction and Khofchenko.

   Naturally, it is impossible for every member of Congress to be allocated sufficient campaign resources. Although the campaign will only start next year, it is time to start planning.

   Otherwise, when the elections start next year, the faction will not allocate resources, and they will not be able to draw enough campaign funds. Wouldn't it mean that they will lose the election...

   So they have to figure out their own way.

   Compared with Kovchenko's faction, most Duma deputies are actually more optimistic about the third faction led by Wang Ye.

  Because after all, it is the existing third faction of the Duma, and the leading party leader Mikhail has both sides in the Duma and the Kremlin.

  However you look at it, it's more promising than Kovchenko's new faction...

   Now it seems that the third faction is not inferior to any faction in terms of financial resources, and some people with agile minds begin to wonder if it would be better to switch to the third faction.

   For these people, Wang Ye said the same thing.

   He did not reject outright, but neither did he express his consent.

   just vaguely stated that if they really made up their minds, they would quit their faction before the end of the year.

   Find any excuse, be it retirement or re-employment, but don’t make it clear that you want to come to the third faction.

   Then after a cooldown of two or three months, you can join the third faction.

   And the third faction will make a promise to ensure that they have sufficient campaign resources!

  …

   Wang Ye is also trying to avoid fighting with the first and second factions.

   After all, it’s not good to poach people from others, even if you don’t take the initiative to poach people, but those people take the initiative to find you, it’s not good.

   In addition, the method he gave can also help to filter whether these people really want to come to the third faction.

   These days, even if it is political speculation, you need to have good vision and firm will.

   You can’t pay nothing, just sit back and enjoy.

   There is no such good thing!

   Therefore, he is willing to provide resources, but at the same time, those who want to take refuge in him need to pay a small price.

   That is to withdraw from the Duma early and cool down for a few months...
