The meeting was held in the morning, and in the afternoon, the senior core of the entire Rovno State began to move quickly, which was the main reason why Simon increased his bet on Rovno State.
Strong control brings efficient execution.
Even though it has not yet been deeply rooted, in Rovno Prefecture, Rifny at this time, basically only had the Westeros system, without any wrangling, disturbance, or confrontation. If you want to promote the implementation of certain plans, you will naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Simon also referred to the rise of many countries.
Just like South Korea, like Argentina, and even the early Soviet Union, many modern countries often had a prerequisite for the rapid economic development period, that is, the high concentration of power. During the Park Chung-hee period in South Korea, this political strongman was in power for 18 years, and South Korea's GDP increased by 27 times, and it also laid a solid foundation for South Korea's subsequent economic further development.
Of course, this prerequisite is only a prerequisite.
Because there are many positive examples, there are more counter-examples.
After all, if a train cannot turn, it will be either heaven or hell if it drives one road.
On August 26, Alexander Lyudaev, another location in the center of Rifney, was personally hosted by the opening ceremony of the company's national television station Basic Network in the morning.
There is not much situation.
Because everything is just the beginning, Rifni Media recently obtained a TV license from the Kiev authorities that can broadcast TV signals to Ukraine nationwide, and has the right to operate, but to truly cover this country, it still needs to invest a lot of manpower and material resources, such as establishing signal broadcasting facilities, etc.
You should know that Ukraine's television industry is still at the level of the former Soviet Union, and it is even worse.
Just talking about TVs, the TVs in the homes of many Ukrainian residents are still old styles from the former Soviet Union, and it only takes one or two minutes to turn on. It is unimaginable later. Moreover, because the quality is very unstable, it often causes explosions and fires.
Even so, TVs are not something that can be owned by any family, especially before and after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Due to the economic collapse, compared with the state that more than 60% of families owned TVs during the heyday of the Soviet Union, the popularity of TVs in Ukraine at this time was less than 50%.
In addition, television broadcasting in Ukraine is also in the lowest analog signal era.
In this case, you can imagine the situation of the TV industry in Ukraine.
This is largely the reason why Rifney Media can obtain a national TV license more easily.
The TV industry has reached its extreme downturn, lacking oil and water, so all kinds of oligarchs are naturally too lazy to compete. Even though the Kiev authorities have not ignored the role of the TV network in controlling public opinion, the Rovno Gang is still on Kuchima's side, so there is no reason to object.
Therefore, Basic Network was successfully established.
Basic Network, translated as "basiv TV network", also has a reason. During the internal discussion, everyone prefers the name Basiv Network because Alexander Lyudaev lives on the bank of Basiv Lake, the largest city in the south of Rifny.
Unlike the small artificial lake that Simon used to resettle the villa in the south of the girl city, which is less than one hectare, BASF Lake is the largest lake in the Rifny area, with an area of nearly 1 square kilometer. In the past two years, this large lake has gradually been surrounded by the powerful and wealthy people in Rifny, and the manor houses are developed along the lakeside. Simon also sets out several additional properties on the shore of BASF Lake.
However, when the Basiv Network's name was reported to Simon and was called back, one of the letters changed and became Basic Network, the basic TV network.
After considering the consideration by senior executives of media companies such as Alexander Lyudaev, they could not help but feel that the name Basic Network is indeed more suitable than the original Basiv Network. Because it is ordinary enough, universal enough, and even international enough.
After all, it is not easy for ordinary people to understand the meaning of the word Basiv, and anyone who understands Basic can understand it with a little bit of English.
Liudaev even saw Simon's expectations in this name. The boss hoped that the basic TV network could go out, not only in Ukraine, so he gave such a very ordinary and common name.
After obtaining the license, the TV network was established. Next, it was to open up national signals and make and arrange TV programs.
The Basic Network team, led by Alexander Lyudaev, held a full-day meeting for this. However, the basic business strategy of the TV network has been locked in advance by someone. Next, the TV network will touch the political field as little as possible, and focus its business on entertainment content such as television, movies, music, sports.
That's right.
Simon never forgot a certain 'pacifier theory'.
Basic Network will be a pacifier that Simon stuffed for Ukraine.
Of course, this does not mean that Basic Network will not involve politics. Anyway, it is a private TV station. When necessary, this TV network can broadcast related content 24 hours a day. However, this kind of public opinion manipulation weapon will never be used easily unless it is absolutely necessary.
The problem of signal coverage is easier to solve. Ukraine lacks the most now high-quality TV content.
This is the least problem for the Westeros system. After all, the basic TV network can be said to be backed by the entire Hollywood. In addition, Ukraine is now completely open to the West, and there are no barriers to content review. Even Simon understands that a TV network cannot broadcast all foreign content, and local programs are more important. However, in the short term, the basic TV network backed by the Westeros system is enough to defeat other Ukrainian competitors who are interested in entering the TV field at the same time.
After a busy day, after get off work in the afternoon, Alexander Lyudaev received an invitation from Sergei Komorov again, and then he learned about the $200 million resettlement community development plan that had just spread in the top management in the morning.
Alexander Liudaev's first reaction was also shocked when he heard the number of $200 million.
The big boss really doesn't regard money as money.
We rushed to a restaurant on the commercial street in the city center. Sergei Komorov, Vladimir Korkoshko and others were there. While eating, we continued to discuss the matter of resettlement of the community.
According to the plan given by Simon and more details discussed in the morning by everyone, first of all, the dormitory apartment projects affiliated to various enterprises in Rifny will be suspended. After the last batch of dormitories under construction, all dormitory apartments will be transferred to a real estate company under Aldeck Company for unified management and will be supplied to the employees of the corresponding enterprise in the form of rent.
This is done to take as much housing resources as Rifney can in the hands of the Westeros system.
Secondly, the real estate company under Aldeck will also be responsible for the resettlement community plan.
The specific development plan is that the two banks, Rifny Development Bank and Rifny United Bank, provide funds to Aldeck's real estate companies in the form of loans. The developed resettlement community will also provide employees of the Westeros system in Rifny-related industries through rental or sale.
Considering the current consumption capacity of employees, the rental is the main focus for the time being.
Although it was initially determined that this group of communities will use the "tube building" promoted by Khrushchev in the previous Soviet era as the main template, Simon's requirement is that the relative specifications of this group of properties should be higher, at least including a single kitchen and bathroom.
In everyone's opinion, this standard is really a bit high.
Because even in the capital Kiev, the large number of tube buildings that existed at this time were still in the stage of sharing kitchens and public toilets.
However, since someone said he wanted to give the people living there a feeling of "home" that made them reluctant to leave after they lived there, they were just executors, and of course there was no reason to object.
Anyway, it's the big boss who pays for it.
Of course, everyone also felt something from the word "home" emphasized by someone.
Although the population reaches 50 million, Ukraine is still vast and sparsely populated compared to its land area. Therefore, land and houses are not valuable to some extent. If you can't stay in a city or feel it's too difficult, then it's actually easy to leave.
On the contrary, when a city has much better living conditions than a small town or a countryside, it will be very difficult to become dependent and want to leave again.
Just like this placement plan.
Simon proposed that the building specifications of perfect kitchen and bathroom are only a basis. In addition to the most basic resettlement apartments, the relevant communities will also build schools, hospitals, supermarkets, theaters, parks and other supporting facilities, so that the people living there can truly make their homes.
Of course, although it is a resettlement community that doesn’t sound so high-end, it is definitely not everyone who can apply for rent.
These resettlement communities are only provided to employees working in industries related to the Westeros system. If you are not a member of the bureau, you are not even qualified to rent. Moreover, once you leave or fire, you will also lose these rental houses and even a series of other supporting benefits. However, the Westeros system's various industries in Rifny, stupid, lazy, and restless people will definitely not.
Simon had no intention of making money from these projects in a short period of time. Anyone who could live in it, at least on the surface, was receiving subsidies from the Westeros system.
As for deeper levels.
If you want to raise a better flock of sheep, you must first provide a more comfortable place to live. After all, you must also give the sheep some hope. With all kinds of radish and vegetables hanging in front of you, you cannot help but run hard. At least, if you want to maintain this kind of life, let alone be lazy, even if you just want to run for 8 hours a day, you will be destined to be eliminated.
Only 996 can get blessings!
It is always said that Westerners will never give extra money outside of 8 hours, and Simon's plan is to change this state.
In short, how much subsidy is now, the sheep will still double the amount of money they earn back in the future.
After eating, Liudaev and others went to the nearby dance hall entertainment, which is also an industry under the Westeros system, and continued to discuss some issues. The core members of the Rovno Gang could not fully understand Simon's deepest considerations. However, everyone is more confident about Rivni's future, Rovno's future, and Rovno's future, through this plan.
After just under half an hour of entertainment in the private room, everyone received a copy of information.
To be precise, it is a magazine from North America.
The latest issue of Forbes.
The same day was released on August 26, the 1996 Forbes 400 US Rich List was released.
Seeing the wealth figures attached to the name on the most conspicuous copy of a magazine, the Rovno helps the senior executives couldn't help but feel some unreality.
1.5 Trillion!
$1.5 trillion!
Compared with the wealth figure of $700 billion last year, $1.5 trillion not only more than doubled in just one year, but Simon has also become the first super rich man to describe his own personal wealth with the size of "Trillion" under the premise of US dollar counting units.
1.5 trillion US dollars, what does this mean?
Not to mention the past year, even according to the expected GDP scale of countries around the world in 1996, Simon's personal wealth is second only to France's 1.6 trillion US dollars among more than 200 countries around the world, ranking fifth on the list.
Such a wealth number is like a huge mountain pressing on the people of the Rovno Gang.
The entire Ukraine is expected to have a GDP of US$45 billion in 1996, which is only equivalent to just 3% of Simon's personal wealth. Seeing this latest wealth list, all the core members of the Rovno Gang suddenly didn't feel much emotion about the $200 million investment he just received today.
It's a drop in the bucket!
When Rovno helped a group of senior executives sigh for the latest Forbes 400 American Rich List, as the latest list spread, the whole world began to discuss widely.
First of all, the United States.
After all, Forbes is an American magazine.
This morning local time, a new issue of Forbes magazine was released. At the same time, the new year's Forbes US 400 Rich List was released on print media and Forbes' official website, which once again triggered the topic of Westeros system that rose due to Verizon Telecom some time ago.
$1.5 trillion!
Anyone with a slightly more sensitive figure understands that this is obviously just a relatively general statistic.
Obviously it was done on purpose.
The same is true. Too specific numbers are often more likely to attract people's attention. On the contrary, the more general the numbers are, the more blurred the impression they give people, and they will inevitably feel that this is just a number.
But how could this be just a number?!
Not to mention the increasing scale of the entire Westeros system, Simon Westeros’s wealth is equivalent to a large "economy" ranked fifth in the world. People who understand the energy of money can never regard it as a number.
Moreover, the 1.5 trillion US dollars, not to mention last year, is just the expected GDP of US$8 trillion this year. Even though the two numbers are essentially quite different, it is really terrifying to have a personal wealth equivalent to more than 18% of the GDP of the most powerful country on the planet.
Chapter completed!
