In fact, what Wang Ye spoke of were just the obvious reasons.
He didn't mention the deeper significance.
Because it's not the right time yet, many people in Russia, including those at the top, don't have a clear understanding of the importance of the Crimea Peninsula.
Or perhaps things concerning Crimea are not their main focus yet. The domestic situation is not stable enough, so how can they pay attention to the outside issues?
At this moment, the only people who may truly know Wang Ye's intention of investing in Crimea are probably just a few like Puding, Gavriil, and Angelina!
As for Shao Yigu, even though he might be one of the leading figures in the Kremlin, he may not have access to all the secrets.
After all, everyone has their own specialization. Shao Yigu's role probably doesn't include long-term national strategy and diplomatic relations.
From his questions, it could be heard that he didn't know the real intention of Wang Ye's investment in Crimea.
