Chapter 1371: Legal
Simon chatted with Anna Ticarova for a few more times, and it was time to leave.
The black Mercedes-Benz car drove directly here. The bodyguard opened the car door. Simon stood up from the bench and walked over. He got into the car. He found that the woman outside the car almost subconsciously followed him, and smiled and moved in: "Do you want to skip work and have lunch together?"
When the man said this, Anna Ticarova suddenly woke up, subconsciously shook her head, and took a step back, dodging her eyes as if she hadn't heard the words just now, just said, "Goodbye, Mr. Westeros."
"Goodbye," Simon said, adding: "Don't let me down."
Anna Ticarova nodded, seeing that the man did not continue the topic just now, she waved to the bodyguard. When the car door closed, a faint melancholy suddenly felt in her heart. At a moment, she even thought that it was nothing to go to lunch with him, it was just lunch.
Unfortunately, even though Ticarova wanted to deceive herself, the convoy that quietly drove away did not give her a chance.
Looking at the three identical black Mercedes-Benz cars leaving in a row, until they completely disappeared into a corner, a female principal sighed softly, and the words he had just said were inevitably heard, and finally, don't let him down.
Definitely not.
Simon returned to the city and rushed to the home of Alexander Lyudaev, the head of the Rifni Media Company, who was in charge of the Westeros system, to be a guest at the home of Alexander Lyudaev, the first batch of Natalia Lyudaev, a girl knew that Simon came to Ukraine two days ago and saw him today. She acted very coquettishly and stayed with Simon for lunch.
After lunch, I took the opportunity to learn about the operation status of Rifny Media.
Currently, the core of Rifni Media is still television. Its Basic Network has been spread throughout Ukraine and has reached a lot of cooperation with some TV stations in Russia and Belarus, which can be said to be developing rapidly. The reason for this is that it is supported by the Westeros system, especially Daenerys Entertainment.
After all, Simon started out as a film and television entertainment. Just like he could go too far in China, he could easily do his best when he was playing in Ukraine.
In addition to TV, Rifney Media has also begun to enter the fields of film, music, newspapers, etc. Although its scale is far from comparable to Daenerys Entertainment, it is also a sparrow that is small and has all the internal organs.
For example, in terms of film, Rifney Media has built a 20-hectare film and television base in the north of the city, with an area comparable to Fox Cinema and Paramount Cinema in Los Angeles. Of course, due to funding and other reasons, the internal facilities are definitely far inferior to Hollywood, but they are definitely the only one in Ukraine right now.
In addition, it is music. Its Saint Girls Group is currently the most popular Russian singer group in the former Soviet Union. However, in the first half of this year, the Saint Girls Group has been performing hundreds of performances of all sizes in the former Soviet Union, contributing a large amount of profits to Rifny Media.
With such a beginning to accumulate experience, Rifney Media's music department has also launched other singers or groups, and some of them have received very good responses.
As for newspapers, they basically don’t want to make money, they just want to control the right to speak for public opinion.
After spending an afternoon to learn more about all aspects of Rifny Media and Entertainment, Simon can easily outline the future. As long as the company does not encounter too many ups and downs, it is likely to become the largest media force in the former Soviet Union, with interests second, and potential public opinion discourse is the key.
Finally, I saw a relatively rough film and television base located in the north of the city. It was already around 6 o'clock here.
Simon is going to the resort at night, and Liudaev accompanied him to the helicopter parked in the open space of the base, saying, "You are doing well here, but one thing you need to pay great attention to is the tendency. In the Rovno Prefecture, we must absolutely control public opinion. There is no doubt that if someone wants to compete with us, then you will do anything to destroy them. However, outside of Rivny, media and entertainment companies must remain neutral as much as possible, at least for the next five years. If you can't grasp the standard, then take the easiest way to reduce the production of news and current affairs content and be as biased towards entertainment as possible. Do you understand?"
"Simon, I know what to do."
Alexander Liudaev nodded in agreement.
In fact, Liudaev also talked to Simon in the afternoon, wanting to open a special news channel. If it is done, it will obviously help the Rovno Gang to gain greater voice, but he was rejected by Simon as soon as he mentioned it.
After this afternoon, Simon, who should explain it clearly.
Even if the beginning is already good, the foundation of Rifney Media and Entertainment is still too shallow after all. Just like a child who has just learned to walk, he will be pointed at something that is not suitable for interruption and may be knocked down easily by someone.
Therefore, keep a low profile.
When this media and entertainment company has spread all aspects of the former Soviet Union and becomes a part of the daily lives of many people, then, if you show your influence, even if the governments in relevant countries and regions want to shut up here or even ban the corresponding newspapers or TV, you must consider the hidden public opinion risks.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the big fists and how loud they shout.
When he came to the huge Mi-26 helicopter, he finally said goodbye to Alexander Liudaev. Looking at Natalia Liudaeva who came over naturally, he looked pitiful and begging. Simon smiled and rubbed the girl's head, signaling her to climb the gangway first, and then he followed.
...
With continuous rapid construction, the area where the Rifney Resort and Entertainment Company, which consists of hot spring resorts, hunting areas and military theme parks, has developed into a town. Like Rifney, the town is also expanding rapidly, and several surrounding villages have been demolished for this reason.
In summer, it is the peak season for travel with the most crowded tourists.
Especially in the evening, nightlife is about to begin. Many tourists from Europe and around the world have a day off and start to walk out of hotels of different specifications, either in groups of three or three, or hugging each other, and planning for the evening entertainment.
When three very conspicuous helicopters appeared above the resort, many people couldn't help but look up, and some people were still confused.
The military theme park said it was an inspection, and recently all flight experience projects have been suspended. Even various shooting projects no longer accept temporary applications. Only those who make reservations in advance can continue. This... what happened to the three helicopters in the air?
Some people are confused, and some people can probably figure it out.
Perhaps it is precisely because these three helicopters, some people on the helicopter, that various projects in the resort and entertainment center have been temporarily suspended, and even for some regular customers, the patrol guards here have been significantly strengthened recently.
Obviously, for safety.
I just don’t know what big man is inside the helicopter, which can mobilize the entire Rovno region?
Simon looked down from the helicopter against the setting sun. Even though it was difficult for him to cause too much fluctuation in material terms, he could not help but feel a little emotion when he looked at the piece below that was completely out of thin air that had never existed.
This area, which has gradually spread for dozens of square kilometers, has become a very important cash cow for the Rovno Gang in just a few years.
Have seen some data here in advance.
However, in the first quarter of this year, even if the financial crisis was affected by the global economy, even if Ukraine was still in winter in the first quarter, Rifni Resort Entertainment still generated revenue equivalent to US$270 million and profit reached US$31 million. It is expected that this will bring at least US$150 million in net profit to Rovnobang throughout 1998, which is still amid the continuous large-scale expansion and construction of the resort entertainment center.
The profitability of US$150 million seems to be incomparable to any international corporate giant. However, in the economically declining Ukraine, this is definitely a huge sum of money that makes too many people jealous. Even though Rovno helped to share the benefits quite generously, he is still constantly encountering various covetousness.
What's more, the current 150 million is obviously far from reaching the profit limit of the resort entertainment center, and it can only be considered a beginning.
However, no matter how coveted, the Rovno Gang has already formed. If you want to seize food from here, even President Kuchima's group has to consider it.
Since it is impossible to compete, just like the military theme parks that have been imitated in the Kiev region in the past two years, other parts of Ukraine and even Russia are following the trend to build large resort and entertainment centers here.
Of course, there are no successful people who can compete with this side yet.
This success is mainly due to the smooth imitation of the Las Vegas Casino model by the Resort Entertainment Center.
At the beginning, the only core of this entertainment center to attract tourists was actually two, women and guns.
Very rough.
Nowadays, women and guns can only be regarded as adjustments, and casinos have become the undisputed core here. Not only traditional casinos, but also the entertainment center has developed gambling projects such as underground fighting and horse racing that are enough to make men and women prosper. Even some important international sports events can be bet here.
In short, as long as it is the type of gambling that people can think of, you can find it in the resort and entertainment center here.
Some of them are certainly illegal and even some are inhumane, but, Who Care?
Even some forces in Ukraine who are coveting the profits of the resort and entertainment centers will fail to take advantage of the gray projects.
Moreover, next, it is nothing more than legislation.
A very interesting thing.
Just like the different marriage systems around the world, in addition to most monogamous, there are actually many countries and regions in this world that are polygamous, which is obviously not in line with the civilized ethics of this era.
There is also some kind of original transaction between men and women.
Some countries still allow it, some regions allow it, many of them are economically developed countries.
This obviously does not conform to the civilized norms of contemporary society.
However, why did those self-proclaimed civilized guardians not care, resist, and take off their shirts to hoarse themselves?
Because others' laws stipulate that this is allowed.
So there is a question here: is the law stipulated right?
Simon was too lazy to seek any answers, but he just found it interesting.
Of course, it also needs to be used well.
Since there is no problem that the law allows, then promoting legislation is a simple thing.
Therefore, at least in the laws of Rovno Prefecture, casinos, horse racing, even cock and dog fighting are allowed or are promoting permission, including some kind of original transaction, which has passed decriminal documents at present. As long as both parties are voluntarily and there is no such thing as coercion, there is no problem.
Look, it's legal again.
As for whether there is any problem, who cares about making money.
This is off-topic.
In short, after taking the right path, this resort and entertainment center can be said to be in a state of rapid growth. Compared with the investment of each project and its current size, it is no exaggeration to describe it as a daily increase in gold, and it will only become more common in gold in the future.
Simon arrived at the resort and entertainment center and picked up the two persons in charge, Andrei Wodmilka and Alexander Nagiev.
It took more than an hour to inquire about the operation of the resort entertainment center, followed by dinner time.
The two person in charge temporarily called a group of girls who were singing or performing here to accompany them, including the trio of Saints Group who were singing here recently. The three girls are still Simon's forbidden body, but Simon doesn't even remember his name.
Too many.
Speaking of which, various types of performances are also the most successful aspects of the resort entertainment center.
At present, there are dance, circus, opera and other types of performances almost every day, including some late-night restricted programs. Of course, it is also legal. All of them are also imitated from the Las Vegas model. Profit is secondly, mainly to attract tourists.
For tourists, a complete hierarchical classification has also been gradually carried out.
For ordinary working people, you can have a good time for two or three thousand dollars to spend a weekend. For rich people, you can enjoy it with two or three million. Of course, the attraction of the resort entertainment center to top players is still limited for the time being, but it is only a matter of time.
Simon came here tonight, and in addition to taking a look at the operation of the resort and entertainment center in person, he mainly met with two other leaders of the "Rovno Gang", Yuri Yagushevsky and Boris Orlevich.
The main thing is to discuss the next development issue of the "Rovno Gang".
What should be touched, what should not be touched, where should be strengthened, and where should be voluntarily withdrawn, involves all aspects.
At the beginning, Simon just decided on the "Rovno Gang" and then released the stock. Until now, the power has expanded from Europe to North America and Asia, and even Africa, and it can be said that it has spread all over the world. If it continues to release the stock, something will inevitably happen. In addition, the statements of the just-concluded G8 summit must also be respected. No matter where in this world, there is no good ending in the dark forces and official hard steel.
