Chapter 1021: Retreat Bravely from a Difficult Situation

Khodorkovsky bent over, resting his arm on his knee and his chin on his hand, his gaze fixed intently on Wang Ye as he said:

"Misha, after recently visiting some remote border areas, I've been deeply moved!

I used to think that the daily lives of ordinary people may not be that affluent, but they wouldn't be too bad, considering the pace of our country's economic development in recent years.

But only after this on-site inspection did I truly realize that those places are completely different worlds from Moscow...

The people in remote areas live such hard lives!

So I've been considering why this phenomenon occurs."

This question was too complex for Wang Ye to answer on the spot, so he could only give a wry smile and say, "There's no helping it, we can only take it slowly."

The problem Khodorkovsky mentioned was indeed troublesome; Russia is so vast in territory with a not so dense population, mostly concentrated in a few major cities and their surroundings.
