Chapter 1115 Natasha's Ambition
Valeri became the head of the Gut family, which was why Natasha was so anxious to see Yang Dongxu.
"He doesn't seem to dare to kill you, right?" Yang Dongxu frowned as he looked at Natasha, who seemed particularly virtuous and brewing black tea in front of him, and didn't look like a particularly stern executive in front of outsiders.
Valeri became the head of the Gut family, which was unexpected to him, but he was also cleaning up. Although it was the first time they met, Yang Dongxu had naturally learned about Valeri because he had investments in Russia.
This is a very sinister guy, the kind of sinister person who smiles on the surface but takes things behind the scenes. The most important thing is that his ability is not much better than Natasha.
Or Natasha's ability is not high enough to exceed Valeri's part, which can make up for the gap between their male and female identities. So it is not surprising that Natasha's father, who is currently in poor health, chooses to let his son inherit the family business. After all, there is a difference between women and men.
Although Natasha has remained single for many years and has no intention of getting married. But it can't tilt the balance of her father's inclination towards her son.
"I want to enter the State Duma!" Natasha said.
Yang Dongxu looked at Natasha in astonishment, and then frowned deeply.
He now understood a little bit that even if Valery disliked Natasha, he couldn't kill her, but this woman still looked so anxious, because she wanted more.
Russia is a federal country. The biggest person is definitely the president, but the power of the parliament is also very large. The parliament is also called the Russian Federal Assembly, which has two parts, the Federation Council and the State Duma.
That is what ordinary people call the upper house (Federation Council) and the lower house (Federal Duma). Needless to say, the upper house is a very powerful existence. National laws need to be submitted to the Duma for review and approval, and the laws reviewed and approved by the Duma need to be approved by the upper house before they can be implemented.
And the upper house has the power to impeach the president. But from this point of view, although the power of the Duma is not as good as that of the upper house, it is still a very powerful existence.
For example, the Duma has the function of supervising the government. And although the State Duma cannot impeach the president, the head of the Duma is at the same level as the prime minister and has the power to impeach the prime minister.
However, compared with the British House of Commons, the power of the lower house of northern Russia, the State Duma, has been greatly reduced compared to before.
The reason for this situation is that after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia is exploring its own development path. The pressure from major capitals is too great and the Duma does not have much power.
And in the 1990s, there was an armed conflict between the president and the Duma, so the power of the Russian Duma was greatly weakened.
But no matter how the theory says that there are federal laws, the Duma's shelf is still there. Natasha is facing an embarrassing situation now. She is not the absolute confidant of the above, so she can't get the other party's full support. The dispute over the head of the Gut family has been settled at this time, and she has lost her biggest support.
Therefore, it is impossible to enter the upper house, and even if she enters, it is estimated that she will only be a marginal role. If she enters the lower house, with her current achievements and the support of other external forces, she can get a good position, and it is not impossible to even be promoted half a level.
This will save some time to climb up, and the probability of sitting in the Duma's head position is much greater than the probability of sitting in the core position of the Senate.
And if Natasha does it, and restores the power of the Duma to the level that it should be theoretically possible. Then she will definitely be in the top five positions of the highest power center in the entire northern Russia.
After failing to take over the first family of Gut in northern Russia, Natasha, who was unwilling, was obviously ready to realize her ideal ambitions on the road to politics.
"It seems that you are not only unhelpful to find me, but also counterproductive, right?" Yang Dongxu looked at Natasha. This was not shirking or alarmist. He was telling the truth.
Any country's highest power institution, or people in important positions. Cannot have any deep involvement with other countries, otherwise this is a fatal life gate.
For example, the email gate, the ballot gate, and foreign political donations, as long as it is exposed, whoever is involved will die, and there is no chance of luck.
And then again, even if he and the matter of funding Natasha were not exposed. But when Natasha ascends to a high position, she will take the initiative to distance herself from him, and it is not impossible that she will become his enemy in order to distance herself from him.
And this possibility is very high, because this is a very ambitious woman. She finally stood at the pinnacle of power. How could she let Yang Dongxu's existence become her lifeline.
"I know what you are worried about, but your worry is actually not so necessary. You have always wanted to be a successful businessman and do something for your country.
I can help you on this point, of course I can't help you against the principle. But if I enter the Duma, under the same conditions in some resource negotiations, I can choose to support your country's bid." Natasha said.
It sounds like Natasha has little return, but in fact this guarantee actually has a lot of room for operation. Because when there is resource trade between countries and a stalemate with another competitor.
The bias of a superior will indeed affect the outcome of the whole thing. Otherwise, why do so many investors like to invite some politicians to dinner when investing abroad?
What's more important is that this is what Natasha can do after taking office, and there will be no threat to her position, so the success rate of fulfilling her promise is very high.
"This is Northern Russia, not a small tribal country in Africa. You want to enter the Duma, not marry a chief as your wife. And I haven't made any major investments in Northern Russia for many years, and the amount of investment has even shrunk. Less." Yang Dongxu said lightly.
"But you still retain a lot of shares in mining companies, don't you? And although you don't have many contacts with some people in the House of Lords and whoever is above, you have a very good relationship, don't you?" Natasha looked at him with burning eyes. .
Yang Dongxu frowned instantly and narrowed his eyes. This is a human's instinctive reaction when faced with a huge threat.
"My previous job was to rectify the national banking system, as well as some huge debt deficits and bugs." Natasha seemed not to see Yang Dongxu's reaction and continued to speak.
But if you observe the fine hairs on her body, you will find that when Yang Dongxu squints his eyes, the hairs stand up unconsciously, and even a layer of small goose bumps appears on the surface of the skin.
Although momentum is intangible, it is real. For example, the moment Yang Dongxu narrowed his eyes, Natasha felt an inexplicable chill.
Only then did she realize that the little fox sitting across from her, who usually looked harmless and just a little smart, actually had a ruthless side that no one knew about.
In other words, how can someone who can harvest wool with those former Soviet bosses be a good man and woman? She actually knew some things, but she had been paralyzed by Yang Dongxu's harmless appearance over the years and temporarily forgotten them.
But she had undoubtedly thought about it all at this moment, so she realized how stupid it was to mention these secrets alone with Yang Dongxu in this room at this moment.
"Since you know something, you should understand that my investment has been successful, and it is a huge success. So why should I invest in you?" Yang Dongxu's expression returned to normal, and he was still harmless to humans and animals.
But after Natasha, if her next answer does not satisfy the man in front of her, she may not even be able to cooperate with him. Then she might not be able to get out of this room.
"Your investment was indeed very successful, but it was just because it was too successful. So the favors in your hands are used less and less." Natasha tried her best to regain her composure, and her head was running quickly to analyze the situation in front of her.
Yang Dongxu remained silent after hearing Natasha's words.
Although he never thought about controlling anything from the beginning, he also knew that this was completely impossible. But because the investment was so successful, there was bound to be no close contact between the two parties.
For example, the previous president of North Russia made a big bet, so after he successfully harvested the wool, he withdrew the investment, which provided him with a great guarantee. In the end, the two parties ended their relationship, which was considered a very successful cooperation.
This investment is undoubtedly more successful than the previous investment, but the rate of return is much smaller. Because the times have changed, the situation has also changed, especially the current status is extremely unequal. It is no longer about him giving relief to the other party, but whether the other party is willing to deign to take care of his small role.
After pondering for a moment, Yang Dongxu picked up the black tea in front of him and took a sip: "Now that you know these things, you should understand that if you are involved with me, your future road will only be more difficult."
This sentence is not alarmist, nor is it partial to Natasha.
But Yang Dongxu successfully bet on the previous term and this term, and now he is betting on Natasha again. What do you want the current emperor to think?
If the emperor felt even slightly threatened, he could crush them both to pieces with just a little finger.
"I know." Natasha breathed a long sigh of relief. She knew that her life was temporarily saved and she had the possibility to continue talking to Yang Dongxu. Unknowingly, during the silence just now, her back was wet with cold sweat.
"What I need is not political donations, but honest assistance. Of course, I must have won this assistance, and I will use the large amount of assistance as political achievements to enter the Duma."
"If that's the case, the increase you just offered seems to be too low." Yang Dongxu tapped his hand lightly on the table.
The word aid does not mean direct donations, but instead refers to some channels of commodity trading. For example, although the current polar bear is very powerful, it can be said to be a mess in terms of light industry.
Therefore, the people's life is not as strong as the military industry. If we start from this aspect, Natasha will get a great improvement in the reputation of the people. Coupled with her previous achievements, she will be able to enter the Duma and successfully advance to half a level. The rate is huge.
