Chapter 1013 This City (3)
The Korkoshko brothers and Yuri Yagushevsky were taken to the largest private room in the club, and only then did they find that several big bosses from the Rovno Gang were here.
In addition to the brothers' father, Vladimir Korkoshko, the governor of Rovno Prefecture Andrei Smirnov, the head of Oldek Company Sergei Komorov, the head of Rivni Media Company Sergei Komorov, and even the two leaders of Andrei Vodmirka and Alexander Nagiev in the resort can only stay with the last seat.
In addition, there were one or two girls with pretty and different styles sitting beside these big guys.
The lights in the box were blurred and the smells of tobacco, liquor and perfume in the air were mixed together. It was absolutely hard to describe for those who were not used to such occasions. A middle-aged man who had already had a red face was hugging a girl holding a microphone and singing loudly on the small stage on the side of the box.
A revolutionary song from the Soviet era.
After entering the door, the four of them greeted them briefly and sat down for the time being. After the middle-aged man with red faces finished singing a song, everyone exchanged greetings and introduced that it turned out that Rovno helped the big men to entertain several senior state government officials from Warren State on the west side of Rovno Prefecture. The one who just sang was Warren State Governor Ilya Chelpchenko.
Although it is still not completely on the right path, the Korkoshko brothers know the reason why several senior government officials from Warren State came to Rovno State and cooperated for power transmission.
Compared with other Ukraine that are still struggling in the quagmire of collapse, the development of Rovno Oblast is too fast, and the economic development of a region has never been separated from strong and comprehensive infrastructure support. Just like the Chinese saying "If you want to be rich, build roads first", construction, transportation, energy, water conservancy, telecommunications, etc. are indispensable.
Now, with the support of the Westeros system, Rovno Prefecture has developed extremely rapidly in various industries. Factory companies have emerged in Rivni and even Rovno, and other aspects can be supported temporarily. However, energy, especially electricity supply, has become the biggest shortcoming restricting regional development.
In fact, this problem was expected last year, so the introduction of funds began to build Unit 4 of the Rovno Nuclear Power Plant. However, the new unit will not be opened until next year. Whether it is the Rovno Nuclear Power Plant or the original vibrant power generation system, the power supply to Rovno Prefecture has reached its limit, so in order to ensure industrial electricity use, many areas in the state, and even the capital Rovno City, have frequent power outages.
Considering the future development prospects of Rovno Prefecture, while the construction of the No. 4 unit of the Rovno Nuclear Power Plant, a thermal power plant with a planned power of 2,000 megawatts can provide 10 billion kWh of electricity per year has also begun planning. However, just like the new unit of the nuclear power plant, the thermal power plant cannot be completed in a short time, and can only temporarily introduce power resources from other surrounding states.
This is a good thing for all parties.
Because before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the annual power generation in Ukraine could reach 290 billion kWh, and the power resources were not scarce. After the disintegration, the power generation of thermal power plants in various states and regions shrank significantly. By two years ago, it had plummeted to 170 billion kWh, a drop of more than 40%.
The power generation volume has declined, and the power infrastructure of that year is still there, especially thermal power plants. As long as the funds are in place and there is demand, they can re-enter the full load operation, which will significantly increase the power generation in a short period of time.
The main problem is funding.
After all, unlike a nuclear power plant that can operate stably for decades after completion, it requires a large amount of coal to generate power from thermal power plants, and coal needs to be bought for money. In addition, if you want to introduce power from other states, the power grid lines also need to be renovated, which also involves the issue of funds.
Fortunately, this problem is relatively easy to solve in the Rovno Oblast. In any case, introducing electricity from other places has more advantages in terms of time and cost than building a new power plant.
The main thing has been talked about during the day, and the private room tonight is for entertainment.
Vladimir Korkoshko called on his two sons to come over, just asking them to help the others to have more contact with Rovno, while Yagushevsky and the others said goodbye and left, after all, all parties had to avoid suspicion.
This entertainment is so late at night and it is all over the place.
Several senior government officials in Warren State rushed to the hotel area with the girls they were interested in. The Korkoshko brothers were going to stay and continue to have fun, but Vladimir Korkoshko called to leave together. Kirill Korkoshko protested and was slapped in the back of his head, and he was immediately honest.
When they arrived at the parking lot, one of the two brothers came forward to report and had already watched the brothers whom I met a few hours ago return to the hotel area, and no more problems occurred. Moreover, the clever subordinate also helped inquire and learned about the identity of the mother of the two brothers who were the key.
When Vladimir Korkoshko heard this, he asked a few more questions in detail, and confirmed that his two sons did not lie to him, so he pulled them into a Mercedes-Benz sedan and sat in the back row with the eldest son next to him and the younger son could only take the co-pilot.
After waiting for the car to start, Vladimir Korkoshko, who had been working for a day, leaned against the leather seat and said to his eldest son next to him: "You did a good job in that matter just now."
Kirill, in the front row, turned his head and said, "If I had known it was the woman in the recent rumor, Nick and I might have ignored it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Vladimir leaned over and took a slap on his second son's forehead without hesitation.
Kirill just rubbed his buzz cut and got used to it after being beaten too much. He couldn't help but think of his sister's little temper in front of their two brothers, who was completely infected by her father.
After taking off his second son, Vladimir still taught a lesson: "You must never think so in the future. Haven't you both respected and admired Simon all the time? If you persisted, it would only benefit you two idiots. Just like last year, why is our family okay? Now we can still get more attention from Simon because we all know how to put our position right."
Seeing that his father started to nag, Kirill hurriedly said, "Old man, I understand."
Vladimir wanted to raise his hand again, but he thought about it and let it go. His two sons had been fighting since childhood and had become strong, and he didn't see much. Fortunately, this kind of rash personality can make better use of the turbulent era of Ukraine. At least, the various businesses that the two sons are currently in charge are actually developing very well.
Nicholas Korkoshko, who was somewhat more stable than his younger brother, had been taught a lesson by his father, and he remembered what was happening in the box and said, "Dad, Chelpchenko invited us to open a factory directly in Warren. I think this is a good idea. Why don't you all seem to be interested?"
When Kirill heard his brother say this, he turned his head and said, "Yes, Dad, this will also help us develop the power of our Rovno Gang and swallow up Warren State in the future."
This is a serious matter.
Vladimir was very pleased that his two sons could mention this. He moved his seat, which had gained weight in the past year, so he made himself more comfortable. He did not avoid the car driver in the front row and said, "It is not the time yet. We need to lay the foundation of our Rovno State to the deepest in order to try to expand outward."
Kirill said again: "I think it's already very deep."
Vladimir shook his head and simply pulled out another cigarette. Seeing that the second son in the front row twisted his body and looked over a lighter diligently to light him, stretched his head to light it, and pulled down some car windows, he said: "Actually, many people in our circle have this view. They had suggested that Simon expand outward, but it was rejected by Simon himself because they didn't understand it. We seem to have completely controlled Rovno State, but this control is far from reaching the extreme. Once there is turmoil in Kiev, or if we make up our minds to take action against us, it will still be very troublesome."
Nicholas asked at this time: "What's the ultimate?"
Vladimir recalled the words of the young man when he met Simon last time, and said, "When we tie millions or even tens of millions of people to the train through our interests, once there is a change in our train, millions and millions of people will be in trouble, and even if they have to firmly support us, then we will be truly deeply rooted."
Nicholas felt enlightened.
Kirill seemed to understand something, but he couldn't help but stare at his father from the front row: "Dad, there are only more than one million people in Rovno Prefecture. If we want to bind 10 million people, we just need to develop it."
Vladimir shook his head and said, "Of course not, we won't develop, but we can attract more people to Rovno State. Think about it, how many people were there in Rivni two years ago, and how many people are there now?"
Kirill obviously didn't care much about these things and tentatively said: "500,000?"
Vladimir shook his head and did not let his two sons guess, and said directly: "It has exceeded 800,000 recently."
Two years ago, when the Westeros system had not yet made efforts to develop the Rovno Prefecture, Rifny, the capital of the state, had economic collapse, and many people fled the city to feed and fled for food and clothing, either returning to the countryside to farm or smuggle to Western Europe, so that the population of nearly 300,000 fell to only 220,000.
Now, because the Westeros system will open many OEM factories of Nokia, Tinkobaier, LTD and other companies here. Coupled with the development of local industries with Aldek as the core, hundreds of thousands of labor demands have attracted people from all over Ukraine to gather. According to the latest statistics, the population has now expanded rapidly to more than 800,000, and it is still increasing rapidly. It is expected that it may exceed 1 million by the end of the year.
Breakthrough of 1 million is still just the beginning.
If all the planned commercial plans can be implemented, it is not impossible for Rivni to surpass Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, and develop into a super city with a population of millions or even tens of millions. After all, behind this city is a large economy with a size of trillions of dollars that is enough to compete with many countries.
The brothers were also a little surprised when they heard the number 800,000.
However, if you think of the large number of apartment buildings built continuously in the north of the city by Aldeck's construction company, you may also understand.
What the brothers don’t know is that because of the continuous surge in population, not only did the sale and lease prices of houses in Rifny city rise sharply, but there were even large shanty towns in the west of the city where more than 100,000 people gathered. Many migrant workers who came to Rovno Prefecture to make a living simply built prefabricated houses in the shanty town.
This is also something that the senior management of Rovno Prefecture and the Rifny Municipal Government have been very concerned about recently.
It’s okay to say that the huge shanty towns are now. In winter, think about the temperature in northern Ukraine that is enough to reach minus 30 degrees Celsius. If it is not handled properly, it is not impossible to freeze people to death. Moreover, because the shanty towns are too dense, they are all simple houses used. If a fire occurs, it will also be a major disaster that may cause fire and camps to burn.
Vladimir Korkoshko knew that his ability was not outstanding and he relied entirely on someone's attention. Since the other party intends to push him to the position of governor in the next few years, he plans to take root in Rovno State without any intention of hitting the core of Kiev.
It is important for people to have self-knowledge.
Although I don’t know this saying from the East, the Korkoshko family, father and son, were finally able to get to the present because they firmly put their positions. After all, if you think about the former governor Smirnov family who was completely knocked down, as long as you are not stupid, you will understand that the young man is far from harmless because of his age.
Therefore, the problem of shanty towns has also become his own problem in Vladimir's mind.
After thinking about this for a moment, Vladimir Korkoshko thought about what he wanted to say today when he insisted on pulling his two sons home, and looked at his eldest son and said, "On the Amber Mine, leave some of the best ores for your sister in the next few months."
Nicholas has not yet expressed his opinion, and Kirill raised objections in the front row: "Dad, my sister's daily use is much better than ours. Moreover, she has taken several boxes last time, so there is no need to keep them all for her. We just opened up the market in China. I didn't expect that the Chinese would like amber so much and would be willing to offer high prices, but they also want the best ones. We recently exchanged a batch of amber for 100,000 TVs. The freighter has arrived in the Red Sea. Hey, Chinese TVs are much cheaper than Western Europe now. I heard that they are engaged in a price war, causing a large amount of inventory backlog. In short, we can make about 3 million US dollars once this time."
Vladimir asked the brothers to keep the best amber for their daughter, of course not for their own use, but after learning about their daughter's experience in the past month, he planned to give her as a gift to Mrs. Westeros far away in Los Angeles at the end of the year.
Something that the three girls experienced after a month was that after eating more rice for decades, Vladimir could understand better that although his daughter had been trained for several months, she was actually recognized by the real wife of the Westeros family. In this case, it would be beneficial to go further to please the wife.
