"Krim and Victor crossed out, and there are other UFMS-related personnel. This will happen in the future. UFMS must remain absolutely independent."

"Boss, Victor is okay. As for Krim, the Jereviyanko family is very powerful in Rovno State. Will there be any objection if they take him off? After all, it is just a parliamentary quota?"

"You just have to tell him that this is my decision."

Inside the study of the manor villa in Weston Rich District.

Simon is discussing with Celia Miller about the shortlist of Westeros system camp for next year's Ukrainian parliamentary elections.

The first parliamentary election after the promulgation of the Ukrainian Constitution is expected to be held in March next year. Although there is still more than half a year left, it is necessary to make arrangements in advance.

Celia Miller brought a list this time, including two heads of Simon's mercenary corps UFMS in Ukraine, Krem Dereviyanko and Victor Kostalev.

Simon's attitude was to cross it out directly.

Although it is just a mercenary, for Simon, the army should have an army position, that is, to maintain independence as much as possible. This is of course not easy in actual operation, but Simon must show the attitude he should have.

This is also a test.

If the two, especially Krim Jereviyanko, whose family has a strong foundation in Rovno State, is dissatisfied with this, it will be almost time for Simon to replace the head of UFMS.

Celia Miller understood Simon's thoughts after thinking a little, and did not say more. He continued to review a series of lists with his boss. The hundreds of candidates were all members of the "Ukrainian Progressive Alliance Party" that were just registered last year. It took more than two hours to select 20 people.

All of them were decided by Simon.

Simon did not intend to discuss democracy with Ukraine in this matter. Simon just wanted to show his power and then see how Ukraine responded.

Who agrees?

Who objected?

After more than three consecutive years of operation, this time we have to look at the results and do some appropriate cleaning to further consolidate the Westeros system's influence in Ukraine.

Finally browsing the finalized list of 20 people, Celia Miller found that this was very different from what he had imagined in private. Her boss was really a nepotism. Among the 20 candidates, 7 of them were parents and elders of a group of girls from Rifny, which even made Celia feel like she was messing around.

If someone in the federal government does this, it will definitely be exposed by the media and become a laughing stock.

However, if you think about it again, it is feasible in Ukraine.

After all, such a small country has legally 450 MPs. It is really a bit too many, and it is impossible not to be injected. Moreover, with more people, it is difficult for both the media and the public to distinguish who is who.

Leaning on the leather chair and browsing the last list again, Simon looked at Celia's expression: "Do you think I'm a little confused?"

Celia paused and nodded honestly.

I can't help but envy.

It is lucky for men to keep a group of girls in Ukraine.

In the past, the oligarchs could push their drivers, lawyers and even family doctors into the position of parliamentarians. Simon didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this. He slightly deflected the leather chair against the ground, reached out to catch Celia next to him and hugged her on her leg.

I've been addicted to hand care recently.

Then he said: "I was doing this on purpose, but in fact I wanted to tell there that these members are just puppets and are not that important. The most important thing is to do things for me with peace of mind."

Celia Miller quietly kicked off her high heels and found a more comfortable position on the man. He nodded slightly, and couldn't help but say, "The boss wants to see who will jump out, right?"

"Yes, any piece of land that is not cleaned often will inevitably grow weeds." Simon stroked the woman's waist wrapped in a light shirt and said, "I hope they can understand that these so-called quotas of parliament have nothing to do with their elections, but I actually gave them. If I don't give them, they must obey, and if I resist, I will leave them with nothing."

Celia Miller has always been a woman who admires power in her bones. When she heard the man's strong words, she felt a little soft and she couldn't help but turn her head and kiss Simon with a slightly open red lips.

Simon just clicked and kissed the woman, and grabbed the woman's neck and pulled her away: "I'll go and say parting to Maria, and we'll go to Uriya later."

Celia raised her head slightly because of the man's strength, and nodded obediently with a rosy face.

It was already evening.

Simon left the study and came to a room on the other side of the villa. Maria and her daughter Anita were holding a little girl in one hand, watching TV and chatting, but they didn't see the three boys.

Seeing Simon come in, Anita greeted her, sent the little guy in her arms to Simon, and left on his own initiative.

Simon carefully held the child in his arms and looked at him, and roughly recognized him as the younger one. Maria hugged Michael, who was obviously born to Uriyana, and was still feeding the little guy.

It was because Maria's personality that she asked her to raise her two children. Simon was not surprised by this. He looked at it for a few times and asked in a embarrassed expression, "Can the two children be fed?"

Maria nodded slightly red: "There is another wet nurse, and Uliya will come here often, she is very...well, that one."

Simon imagined Uriyanna's eye-catching chest curve, but said, "It's okay to come over to feed the children often, but when the little guy grows up, try to teach yourself."

Maria couldn't help but say, "Uriya is actually good."

"I don't have time to understand this, I just look at the results."

result?

Maria was stunned for a moment before she realized it.

Um.

result.

As a result, her four children were taught very well by her, and Ulyanna was just thinking about the fact that Ulyanna had previously driven back to Ukraine with two children who wanted to stay in the United States, at least she would definitely not be able to do it.

In this way, the man's choice is correct.

Perhaps because he felt that Simon's arms were not comfortable enough. The little guy who was squinting his eyes and was dozing off quickly, and it seemed that there were signs of crying. Simon tried to shake it, so he really cried.

Seeing the man's helpless look, Maria called for someone while trying to put the little guy in her arms on the sofa next to her first. As a result, the little guy was not easy to mess with. She was interrupted while breastfeeding and cried, so Maria could only hug her again.

Soon another waitress with a plain face and wearing home clothes came in.

Obviously, he is also a Slavic girl.

The waitress looked at Maria and then came forward with some fear, took the child from Simon, sat down next to her, and checked for a while, and then confirmed that the child had not urinated. She lifted up her clothes and started feeding the child.

Simon and the two children were quiet, ignored the fact that they were feeding the child while quietly glanced at his maid with a slightly red face, and said to Maria: "It's time for me to leave, come and see you next time."

Maria wanted to get up, but was pressed by Simon, so she sat obediently and said goodbye to the man.

I was a little reluctant, but I was getting used to it.

Fortunately, there are so many children around you, without men, and Maria won’t feel lonely at all.

Simon said goodbye to Maria, but did not leave Boston, but took Celia to Ulyana's side, and stayed overnight in Boston.

No words all night.

The next day is Monday, August 11th.

A new week.

The hottest topic recently is still the Southeast Asian financial crisis.

After Thailand's baht was declared lost, on August 6, another country, Malaysia, also announced that it would give up its fixed exchange rate protection for its own currency, announcing the second victory for international speculators. After the Malaysian ringgit was lost, other currencies such as Indonesia and the Philippines began to shaky, and the stock and bond markets of the entire Southeast Asia were even more bleak, and even Europe and North America had begun to be affected.

However, Simon knew that this was still not the most turbulent moment of Southeast Asia's financial storm.

The storm should reach its peak in October.

In my memory, the Southeast Asian financial crisis reached its peak in October, which also triggered the first circuit breaker that was deliberately lagging behind in the 87 stock market crash.

In the strong winds and rains, with Soros charging forward, the Westeros system is making its own layout step by step.

Returning to New York on Monday, one of Simon's work was related to various recent layouts.

This time it was mainly a wafer foundry company in Taiwan.

TSMC.

Because the current semiconductor industry is still mainly self-production and self-sales, TSMC is far from reaching its peak. In my memory, the New Taiwan dollar will also fall around October. In addition, the inevitable deterioration of the Asian economic situation, which is also the best time for the Westeros system to enter the market.

TSMC's stocks are listed in Taiwan and the United States. Although the stock price has not yet reached its lowest point at this stage, it is already an opportunity to continue to buy.

In addition, since the strategy of Westeros system companies such as Nokia and Tinkobaier targeting South Korean oligarchs was arranged last time, TSMC naturally would not miss it. However, compared with South Korea, Westeros system has not many orders for TSMC. In the same sentence, TSMC is far from reaching its later peak, and it is not top-notch in terms of scale or technology.

The rise of TSMC is also related to this financial crisis.

The Asian financial crisis in 1997 has really changed many things, including the previously strong semiconductor companies in Japan and South Korea that were forced to close. In order to save costs, more and more semiconductor companies began to use the foundry model, which eventually prompted the rise of TSMC.

As for TSMC, Simon does not pursue absolute holdings, but it is not pure investment. He will probably pursue about 30% of the shares and corresponding voting rights.

After all, it is cutting-edge technology, and random intervention is just a mess.

Simon won't do that.

Of course, because semiconductor foundry is also a capital-intensive enterprise, the continuous introduction of funds during its development has made TSMC now prefer Volkswagen to hold shares. With 30% of TSMC, it actually has the decisive voice.

No matter how many there are, there is no need.

Simon no longer pursues making more money, but is more concerned about the transformation of control over various industrial fields by Westeros system capital. It is what Simon values ​​more.

In addition to the Asian financial crisis, it is also the summer season in North America.

After earning $29.13 million in the first week of large-scale release, the number of screens of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" increased to 2,315 yuan again in the third week of release. Coupled with the popularity of the film's continued fermentation, the film's final drop was only 17% in the box office week from August 8 to August 14, and it closed at 24.16 million US dollars.

After three weeks of release, the Chinese martial arts movie, which invested $15 million, quickly reached $60.83 million in total.

Even though the kung fu craze in recent years has made Hollywood pay great attention to related topics, a pure Chinese martial arts movie that completely abandons Western elements, with a cost of just $15 million and earning more than 60 million in three weeks, obviously still has the potential to enter a box office club of 100 million yuan, which still shocked a lot of attention.

Not only that, when "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was sold well in North America, news about "The Six Heroes of Light Pig" also came in the UK.

With the halo of winning the Palme dramedy in Cannes in May, "The Six Heroes of Light Pigs" opened in the UK with 503 screens on August 8, and its theme unexpectedly triggered public opinion in the British media. In the first week of the painting from August 8 to August 14, the low-cost film with only 2 million pounds here won a box office of 8.16 million pounds, equivalent to 12.51 million US dollars.

Although the British film market plays an important role in Europe, it is ultimately incomparable to North America.

In addition, the size of "The Six Heroes of Light Pigs" was 8.16 million pounds in the first week, which was almost a miracle. Even "One Day" released in the UK in July was over 800 yuan at the time, and the box office in the first week was only 8.68 million pounds.

Now, a small film with a £2 million investment has almost the same box office as a blockbuster like "One Power Day" in the first week. How can it not be surprising?

Therefore, in previous years, in August, when there were obviously not many films that could attract attention, many public concerned about the movie began to bombard the information of the two films: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Six Heroes of Light Pig".

It is obviously two movies with very small size, and whether it is the single-week box office size or the expected total box office scale, it is far from comparable to blockbusters such as "Tornado" and "One Day". However, for some reason, it has formed a trend, and many people start to pay attention to the box office information of the two movies every day.

If you study it carefully, this mentality is actually easy to understand.

The West is a society that advocates personal heroism, and the public is happy to see small people realize their big dreams.
