The two walked a little to the banquet hall, and Jack Welch said: "That's right, Simon, I heard you are planning to build a thermal power plant in Ukraine. The last order for nuclear power plant units was given to Westinghouse. There is no reason not to cooperate with General Motors this time, right?"

Affected by the shortage of power resources in Rovno Prefecture, in addition to the No. 4 unit of the Rovno Nuclear Power Plant that is still being built, the Westeros system has recently planned to build a thermal power station with a power generation power of 2,000 megawatts in Ukraine.

Unlike the overall investment of a 950-megawatt No. 4 unit of the Rovno Nuclear Power Plant can reach up to US$1.5 billion, the cost of a thermal power plant is much lower. However, no matter how low the construction cost of a 2,000-megawatt thermal power plant is, it is estimated that it will require US$500 million. Such a project is enough for Jack Welch to come forward and fight for it himself.

When Simon saw Welch mention this matter, he did not answer directly, but asked: "Jack, the General Team should have been in contact with Rifny, right?"

Jack Welch nodded: "Of course, however, the reply over there was to plan to use local equipment and solutions. Simon, frankly, I admit the industrial strength of the former Soviet Union, but now it is no longer as good as before. Moreover, you must also know that general generator sets are definitely much stronger than those of the former Soviet Union in all aspects."

"But it's much more expensive," Simon said, then shook his head and smiled: "Jack, last time the Rovno nuclear power plant, frankly, it was a state-owned enterprise in Ukraine, and with some other reasons, it used the Westinghouse equipment. This time it was basically my personal investment, and of course I had to consider the cost, so it's a pity."

Unit 4 of the Rovno Nuclear Power Plant originally only needs a $500 million investment in the future. However, under the operation of Westinghouse Electric, Ukrainian Nuclear Power Company and Ukrainian Ministry of Energy, it has been pushed to $800 million. Not to mention the private tricks, the money will eventually be paid by the already stretched Ukrainian government.

Since it is done by itself, Simon certainly would not be such a sucker.

Compared with nuclear power, the technical difficulty of thermal power is much lower. However, local Ukrainian companies can take over it. Using local plans and equipment, the planned investment of 500 million US dollars may still be much more balanced. Simon's plan is to follow the trend and reorganize a related engineering technology. After all, this time, a thermal power station may not be the last one.

Seeing that Simon refused, Jack Welch tried again and said, "Simon, I'll give you a good discount."

Simon shook his head again and said with a smile: "Jack, maybe you can also guess my layout in Ukraine. This time the thermal power plant is not the only one, but it is very important to me, and it is definitely not just business."

Simon said this, and Welch, who was also very clear about certain things, stopped continuing, but he still couldn't help asking: "Simon, it seems that you plan to artificially create one in Ukraine. Well, according to the concept of China, it is called a special economic zone, right?"

"That's right."

"Then, we certainly have somewhere to cooperate in other aspects."

"That's for sure, Jack, speaking of it, if GM wants to build some factories in Eastern Europe, the Rovno State is a good choice."

Jack Welch didn't expect Simon to turn his back so quickly and start his own business. He smiled and nodded: "Of course, if there is a suitable project, I will definitely consider it."

At this point, Simon thought it was over and was about to go to socialize with other guests. Welch called him again and said, "There is another thing, Simon, about Time Warner, this summer just passed, to be honest, Warner Bros.'s performance is really bad."

Welch obviously refers to something that Warner didn't even have a box office of over 100 million in the summer season. After all, this is the first summer season since General Electric's acquisition of Time Warner. Although the responsibility for this performance is not on the parent company, it will definitely make Welch feel embarrassed.

Simon could only shruggle: "This, Jack, is not my responsibility."

Welch just couldn't help but complain. Seeing Simon say this, he also found out for a moment that he really had no reason to blame Simon. Could it be that Daenerys Entertainment was too strong and that Warner had no way to survive?

As a legendary professional manager, he doesn't have this habit.

Moreover, if he was the head of other film companies in Hollywood, he might be unable to help talking to Simon about cooperation at this time.

However, after secretly studying a series of external cooperation projects of Daenerys Entertainment in private, Welch found that although other Hollywood film companies have made a lot of money in cooperation with Daenerys Entertainment, they actually lost their own independence to some extent, which is absolutely harmful to the long-term development of a company.

The current situation in Hollywood is largely due to the result of other studios indirectly promoting each other to grow through cooperation with Daenerys Entertainment in the past years.

The most typical one is probably the DC Cinema Universe Project.

Welch is so upset when he thinks of this now. Although the DC Cinema Universe Project is the big part of Warner's interests, the initiative is completely controlled by the young man in front of him. Although the other party only has a lesser interest, it is mainly to issue commissions, but it is equivalent to using most of Warner's resources to help him make money. Daenerys Entertainment herself, the production and promotional resources saved by the savings can continue to develop her own projects.

Jurassic Park series, Soul Conjuring Cinema Universe series, Pixar Animation series, and so on.

Even Warner even dared not to turn against each other if he wanted to break up.

Because Daenerys Entertainment also has the largest bargaining chip, no less than DC's Marvel. Once the two sides have a falling out, Daenerys Entertainment only needs to hold the copyright of the three superheroes at the core of the DC movie universe. Neither side can continue to develop the DC series, but the Marvel movie universe can be launched there.

All in all, this is really uncomfortable.

After a moment of change of expression, he remembered the phenomenon-level reality show "American Idol" which was also a subsidiary of Daenerys Entertainment, which was broadcast last week. Welch was even more angry for a moment and could only raise his glass to Simon.

Simon understood and could probably understand Welch's mood. He raised his glass and said nothing more, but walked towards him with the two women Maria who had just stood quietly by her.

The party lasts until one pm.

Simon took two women out of the hotel and came to the parking lot. The bodyguard opened the car door. Uriyana got into the car first. Simon was about to get into the car, but Maria beside him hooked up and said, "Can I take the car behind me?"

Simon paused, moved a little further and said, "You sit with Uliya, I sit in the back, and there is still something to talk to A."

Maria's face turned slightly red, and she obediently got into the car after hearing this.

After a while, when the car started, Maria in the car finally spoke carefully and asked Uriyana beside her, "Are you really pregnant?"

Uriyanna leaned lazily on the leather chair and heard this, "Or else, will he come?"

Maria paused and whispered, "What are you going to do?"

"What is he going to do," Uriyana said, and kicked off her shoes, curled up in her seat, making herself more comfortable. She looked at the scenery outside the car and said, "We don't have any decision, but I probably guess what he is thinking."

"Um?"

"He wants you to bring this child."

Maria widened her eyes, subconsciously glanced at Uriyana's abdomen, and couldn't help but say, "How can this be done?"

Uriyanna doesn't care: "What else? Actually, it's obvious that you are better at educating your children. Your children are all excellent. Anita can be admitted to the National Technical University, Victor and the other three. When they first came to the United States, they can directly overcome the language barrier and enter private schools. In comparison, Anna and Nick can only stay at home to study English for the time being."

"This...Ana and Nick are both very good."

"I know what my own child looks like," Uriyana did not accept Maria's consolation: "So, it's good to ask you to take this child. If possible, I'm willing to give you Anna and Nick to you. I come to the United States and just want to enjoy life, and nothing else matters."

"This is what..." Maria hesitated again before saying, "This is not good."

Uriyana suddenly smiled, looking more charming, and glanced at Maria: "You won't persuade me to cheer up, are you?"

Maria shook her head quickly: "No, I won't interfere with other people's lives."

Uriyana didn't continue to say anything, turned her head back and fell into silence.

But I feel a little sad inside.

In fact, it’s all the fault of this damn world. If the Soviet Union had not disintegrated, she should have been a princess-like figure for the rest of her life. She won some glorious titles with her clever mind and then enjoyed her life leisurely.

I just didn't expect that the collapse of a super empire would come at any time.

Even if she had two children, she could have put some effort into educating her well if she could maintain her former life. However, a few years ago, their family had even reached the point where eating had become a problem. In addition, the huge gap between personal identity and living standards, it was a blessing that she had not collapsed, so she could not care about so much.

The result was that the two children were in a mess in their academic performance. As for their personality, a pair of children who happened to be sensible at the time experienced great changes together. Coupled with the ups and downs of the future, they not only felt weak and timid in their bones, but also seemed greedy and snobbish on the surface.

They are just two little things that even she hates.

Therefore, after guessing the man’s thoughts, Ulyanna did not resist at all. Compared to the fear and fear of being misunderstood by the man when she first discovered that she was pregnant, and was worried that she would be abandoned by the man, this was actually the best result.

What's more, even if it is handed over to Maria, this is his own child after all.

What will happen in the future? Who knows what?

Back in the West Rich District, the group came to a golf club arranged in advance.

Simon also formally talked about his plans with the two women in a café in the club. Uriyana's guess was correct. After reading the information about the two women and several children, Simon quickly decided to let Maria be responsible for raising the child, and did not intend to let the two women live together as other arrangements.

Maria was willing to refuse the man's request. She did not want to do such a thing that would take away other women's children, even if the other party was willing to.

Unfortunately, the rejection is invalid.

After more than ten minutes of this conversation, Simon first asked someone to send Uriyana back to his residence, while Maria was kept.

When Uriyana left, Simon also stood up and signaled to the woman, "Let's go out for a walk, and I also asked someone to pick up Victor and the others."

Maria followed, and paused a little after hearing this, then she realized, subconsciously followed further, and was a little nervous and anxious: "What are you going to do?"

"Call over and beat me."

Maria's heart tightened, and then realized that the man was joking with her, and she was obviously concerned and confused. She quickly relaxed, thought for a while, and said again: "I think you shouldn't have snatched Uliya's child for me."

Simon took the woman to the court, took a club handed over by Girl A, held it in his hand and played with it. Hearing this, he turned his head and looked up and down at Maria, and asked, "Don't you want it?"

"No...I mean, that child is Uliya's, it's not good."

Simon showed a sudden expression and nodded, "Oh, I understand, you want to give birth to one by yourself, it's okay, we will start creating people tonight."

Maria's face suddenly turned red and spread to her neck. She stared at a little man: "You, I..." As she said that, she couldn't help but hang her head, but continued to follow him and whispered: "I, probably, are not suitable for having a baby."

"I've seen your last physical examination information. You're in good health, so it's okay to have another one."

Maria immediately looked up and waited for him. He had studied this, this...

"I...you know, Annie is... 21 years old."

"It happens that one sister and three brothers will have many people to help this child in the future. Well, to be precise, two children," Simon said, looking at the woman next to him again: "Or what do you think I called Victor and the others to come over? As a stepfather in fact, of course, you have to have a serious conversation with your own children."

Stepfather...

Maria almost wanted to hit someone, and the fire on her face made her feel dizzy again.

However, in some subconscious minds, when he heard men say this, Maria felt that this... seemed to be a good thing for her children.

This is Simon Westeros after all.

As the two said, a group of people appeared on the edge of the court. Maria looked at it and saw that the two bodyguards came over with their three sons, and she was suddenly a little panicked again.

Simon also saw the person coming. Seeing Maria's dizzy look, she stepped forward and hugged the woman's waist. When she felt his movements, her head completely crashed, she kissed the woman's forehead and said, "Let's go."

As he said that, he grabbed the woman's hand and took the initiative to meet her.

Maria's three sons, Victor, the oldest, Victor, 16 years old, Constantine, 15 years old, and the youngest, Anton, 12 years old. The three children are very smart and are top students in the fiercely competitive West School of Rifney City. At this time, seeing his mother and Simon Westeros are still held hands, even if the boy instinctively feels some resistance, when Simon and the others come in front of him, they still take the initiative and polite greetings.

At the same time, of course, they all understand something.

It is not easy for mothers to suddenly bring them to the United States.

Simon and the three boys greeted him briefly, and instead said to Maria in a affectionate tone: "Mary, we men need to have a good talk, so you don't follow us, you can go to the cafe over there to have a rest."
