Chapter 709 Young and promising
When discussing Meddev, it is clear that Geblev has more say.
Because Meddev had worked under Geblev a few years ago, the two had more contact.
As for Alexei, it’s hard to comment on Meddev. Although his level is slightly higher than Meddev, don’t forget to talk about the degree of closeness to the Kremlin, then he is far inferior to Medjef. husband.
Maybe a few years later, Meddev will become his immediate boss.
After thinking for a while, Geblev said cautiously: “How can I put it, Meddev is relatively young. He is only in his thirties this year, and he has reached his current position. This is incomparable to Misha, haha…”
In his thirties, he has already become a minister. It can indeed be described as young and promising.
Of course, this also depends on who to compare with.
Wang Yegang is 20 years old and is a deputy G-level…
Therefore, it is indeed a bit inappropriate to say that Meddev is young in front of Wang Ye.
Wang Ye smiled and nodded, motioning for Geblev to continue, saying that he was still very interested in Meddev.
Geblev continued: “When I worked with me in the past, everyone gave him a very good evaluation. He is serious and responsible in his work, active in thinking, not out of date, with team spirit, and arranges everything he is responsible for in an orderly manner. in a hurry…”
It can be heard that Geblev’s evaluation of Meddev is still very high.
Obviously, Meddev must have something special in him, otherwise, Petersburg University graduates so many students every year, and it would be too much to talk about “little juniors”.
Why is he the only one who came out and became Puding’s most trusted partner!
After listening to Geblev’s praise to Meddev, but not answering the key question, Wang Ye asked: “Then what is his attitude towards the transfer of Gazprom Group shares?”
Geblev was a little embarrassed, he stretched out his hand and scratched his head, it seemed a little difficult to answer.
But facing Wang Ye’s expectant look, Geblev still did not evade this question. After all, Wang Ye’s relationship with him is better than Meddev.
It is an exaggeration to say that Geblev has bet more than half of his future on Wangye!
As for Meddev, the private relationship between the two is not very good, that is, the relationship between colleagues.
Of course, this is also because Geblev didn’t know that Puding’s term would be so long.
Otherwise, he doesn’t need to bet on anyone, it’s enough to hold Puding’s thigh firmly…
“The issue of the transfer of Gazprom shares was originally raised by Meddev, and then the Kremlin also agreed.
However, Gazprom is directly under the government’s jurisdiction after all, so it must seek the consent of the government.
As a result, the government has a somewhat different opinion, and their attitude mainly has two points.
First, Meddev bypassed the government and went directly to discuss this matter with the Kremlin, which was against the rules.
Secondly, the Gazprom industry is now controlled by state-owned assets, so naturally the government will benefit the most.
It is because of the large dividends received from Gazprom every year that the annual financial budget can be maintained. Once the shares are diluted, the annual dividends will not be so much, and there will be troubles in the future financial budget.
Now things are still deadlocked here and have not been finalized. ”
He explained the ins and outs of the whole thing clearly, and Wang Ye understood what was going on.
Actually, it is understandable that Meddev bypassed the government and went directly to the Kremlin to discuss this matter.
Because he was originally from the Kremlin, when something important needed to be decided, he used to go to the Kremlin to discuss.
In addition, he estimates that the relationship with the government is not very close…
However, Wang Ye was still a little curious, so he asked again: “Then why did Meddev suddenly propose to introduce new shareholders to dilute the proportion of state-owned assets in the shares?”
Ordinarily this is indeed a bit inappropriate. Meddev himself also represents the interests of state-owned assets!
It is because the state-owned assets have a controlling stake in Gazprom Group that the chairman can be directly assigned to airborne.
If the proportion of state-owned assets in the shares is diluted, it is uncertain who will be the chairman in the future!
Geblev shook his head, “I don’t know this very well. He said it was to promote market liberalization and attract foreign investment. After all, if you want others to invest, you have to show some sincerity. The industry that makes money is not open, or the state-owned assets are not allowed to let go, and only foreign capital is allowed to do those industries with large investment and low returns, and others will definitely not be happy.”
Wang Ye nodded, this reason sounds a bit outrageous, but it is reasonable for Meddev.
Others don’t know it, but Wang Ye knows it. The years after Meddev came to power were really the best time for Mao to have the best relationship with European and American countries.
Europe and the United States also praised him…
Of course, praise from Europe and the United States is sometimes not a positive thing.
…
At this moment, Alexei suddenly interjected and said: “I have heard some unconfirmed news. It is said that this time Gazprom intends to introduce two strategic partners, from the European Union and the United States. It is Dmitry Dmitry. Jeff’s lead.”
Wang Ye frowned.
Is Meddev trying to learn from Hofchenko to reorganize the Yukos Group?
Introduce foreign investors to “respect foreigners”!
Or, there may also be some interest-transporting relationships…
However, it is difficult to confirm these things, and it is not easy to guess at random. After all, the person I am facing is not an ordinary minister, but I should treat him as someone who will enter the Kremlin in the next few years. !
But then things get tricky.
If Meddev were killed in one bite, only foreign investors would be allowed to enter the market, and domestic capital would not be allowed to invest in Gazprom.
That directly shattered Wang Ye and Constantine’s idea of taking a stake in Gazprom from the “source”.
In fact, if Wang Ye really wanted to “compete”, it was not impossible.
In the end, even if they wanted to bypass the Duma and let the government decide directly on this matter, the Economic Committee where Wang Ye was also had reason to intervene.
After all, although the Duma doesn’t seem to have any real power, the key point is that the Duma can legitimately ask questions about anything in the country!
Especially the Economic Committee, there is no problem in intervening in the financing of Gazprom Group’s share expansion.
The crux of the question is, is it worth it!
This is what Wang Ye needs to consider, and he has to discuss it with Constantine.
