The flight of Vladimir Korkoshko and his Chinese delegation arrived at the West Airport in Rifni City on Monday, December 21 at around 10 am.

After returning to his home in the south of the city, Korkoshko hurried to Rovno State University in the city.

A graduation ceremony was just held here in the morning.

The School of Business Administration of the Rovno State University, which is mainly funded by the Westeros system, held a one-year on-the-job further training class last year, mainly providing corporate management training for middle and senior management of Rovnobang's enterprises. It adopts the advanced case teaching model of Harvard University in the United States. At the same time, it adapts to local conditions and cooperates with Rovnobang's industrial layout and the economic status of Eastern Europe, and has specially customized a batch of cases.

Because Simon has personally paid attention to this training class, and there is indeed a scarce business management talents here, Rovno's help attaches great importance to it.

Missed the graduation ceremony, Korkoshko could only attend the luncheon reception.

Arriving at the school auditorium of the National University as a banquet hall, in addition to nearly 60 students who graduated today, Governor Andrei Smirnov, Sergei Komorov, founder of Oldek Company, Vasily Nazorov, Rifny's current mayor, Boguslav Edelman, President of Rifni Development Bank, Krem Jereviyanko, RMSR president Yuri Doflinko and other core members of the Rovno Gang appeared here.

Everyone obviously understands that cultivating specialized enterprise management talents and improving the operating level of the Rovno Gang's subordinate enterprises is ultimately the strength of the entire Rovno Gang.

Because this is an era where economy is king.

However, in Ukraine, in addition to the core members of the Rovno Gang, there are not many people who can firmly believe and adhere to this principle. For example, the people in Kiev are still continuing the rough model of seizing power in the former Soviet era.

Different patterns are destined to be a different future.

The result of the previous internal struggle between Kuchima and Razarenko has proved that the model of relying on power to seize profits cannot last long. Instead, Rovno helps to concentrate on developing the economy, which is the king.

Of course, the Rovno Gang would not be so naive that he would have worked hard to live up to his efforts.

There must be a backend.

Fortunately, their backend is big enough to easily crush the entire country, so they can abandon their worries and concentrate on doing things.

From 1994 to now, in just a few years, through economic expansion and this year's Ukrainian national Duma election, the Rovno Gang is definitely not easily shaken by anyone even if it is not deeply rooted in it.

Next, continue to deepen your efforts.

The group of students who graduated today who are the backbone of the Rovno Gang's enterprises at all levels are the main force for the Rovno Gang's expansion in the future, so there is a grand occasion where the core members of the Rovno Gang are basically here.

Patiently greeted many students of the advanced training class who were familiar with each other. After a round, Korkoshko, who had drunk a lot of wine, was already full of red.

After going to the bathroom, washing his face with cold water and sobering, Korkoshko returned to the hall and saw the Governor Wardmilka and others waved to him, and then walked over.

After a few more greetings, the topic naturally turned to Korkoshko's trip to China.

In the past two weeks, Korkoshko led his team to Hong Kong most of the time, and others have also gone to several cities such as Beijing, Suzhou and Shenzhen. The specific schedule seems very boring to outsiders, basically three: government exchanges, corporate visits and business discussions.

If it is another government team, it is easy to turn this kind of visit into a public-paid trip. Of course, this is not the case with Korkoshko and his party, but actually went to learn from the scriptures.

Speaking of which, in other cases, this kind of visit and exchange often has the nature of attracting investment or negotiating cooperation.

In the past few years, under the matchmaking of the Westeros system, the Rovno Gang and China have indeed reached a lot of cooperation, such as the Chinese chain restaurants initiated by Rifni and spread to many major Ukraine cities, such as the VCD and DVD factories built by a Chinese brand called BBK in Rifni, the large export of amber produced by Rovno to China, the fabric import cooperation reached by the clothing factory in Rifni and some Chinese companies, etc.

Some factories here even hired a lot of senior management from China, and involved in production and marketing. There is no way, and the Eastern European region, which has a strong Soviet atmosphere, lacks relevant talents. China has been reforming and opening up for 20 years, and has accumulated a lot of accumulation in this regard.

This is actually the reason why the core of the Rovno Gang attaches so much importance to this executive training class.

In any case, it is still easier for your own people to use.

Besides, the trip to China that Korkoshko just ended is different this time, and there are no arrangements for investment and cooperation.

Because Rifny has no sufficient resources to leave for foreign companies for the time being.

There is no shortage of people.

However, infrastructure resources such as electricity, transportation, and water conservancy can only barely support the development of the existing pattern in the Rovno region.

Of course, give priority to itself.

For this reason, the Rovno Gang took the initiative to push down many projects that seemed very high-quality to outsiders.

Just in October, Volkswagen, Germany, sent an inspection team to Rifney, hoping to build a car factory here, and the Kiev authorities personally paid attention to this.

Finally, I can only refuse here.

First of all, the heavy industry, such as automobiles, does not match the development idea of ​​Rifney's light industry.

Secondly, and most importantly, it consumes too much resources.

If a car factory is really built in Rifny, not to mention the large consumption of infrastructure resources, even the talent resources here will be the best in Volkswagen's car factory.

This is not what the Rovno Gang wants to see.

Things are not over yet.

After Rivni declined, the Kiev authorities eagerly offered conditions for retention. Whether it is Kiev, the Donetsk industrial center in the east, or Odessa, which is convenient for transportation by sea in the south, Volkswagen can choose at will. Obviously, the Kiev authorities also understand the huge economic benefits that an automobile factory can form after driving the surrounding industrial chain.

As a result, the public didn't like it.

Speaking of which, in the southeast of Ukraine, there is actually a certain foundation for the automobile industry. Instead, the Rovno Oblast is almost poor and deserted. Under normal circumstances, it is against common sense that Volkswagen chooses to build a automobile factory in Rifny instead of other industrial bustling areas.

Of course Volkswagen is not stupid.

Eastern Europe can now be said to be cheaper in everything. According to the principle that capital naturally seeks low costs, it should have developed rapidly with the inflow of large amounts of capital in recent years.

Why can't this be done?

The key is the business environment.

Political turmoil, collapse of public security, dilapidated infrastructure, etc., will curb the inflow of capital, and in today's Eastern Europe, these basically account for the entirety.

Also play with yarn.

Even if there is direct support from the state authorities, the truth that little devils are difficult to deal with is the same all over the world.

Therefore, Volkswagen hopes to build a factory in Rifny, and the only thing that is optimistic is that Rifny has an excellent business environment under the control of the Westeros system.

With a good external environment, even if the region does not have a foundation in the automobile industry and has a stable base, it can build the needed talents and accessories system from other Ukraine regions where the industrial foundation is not weak.

The key is to be able to do business well.

Unfortunately, Rifney does not have so much resources for Volkswagen. In other regions, Volkswagen really dares not go if the prospects cannot be guaranteed. For Volkswagen Group, which has a big business, it is second to be lost for $1 billion and will not hurt the bones. The key is that if the production plan is disrupted, the loss will not be calculated by $1 billion.

The party lasts until 2pm.

Because of work arrangements, the core members of the Rovno Gang who took the time to support them basically left early. This is how Sergei Komorov, who controls the core of the Rovno Gang, is in control of the Oldek Company.

It was only 1:00 p.m. when Komorov left the cocktail party and rushed to the Rifny Railway Station in the city center.

The most dissatisfied with the Rivney railway system at the moment is that the railway trunk happens to pass through the city center.

The railway station is also built in the city center.

With the rapid development of the entire city, the railway stations originally built for small towns with a population of 200,000 are obviously insufficient, but because they are in the crowded city center, it is very troublesome to expand, and the transportation of surrounding goods to the stations is also very inconvenient.

This is a historical problem.

Fortunately, the new railway station located in the north of the city has been planned and will officially start after it is thawed next year.

Now I can only make some effort.

Sergei Komorov personally arrived at Rifni Railway Station this afternoon to see the latest batch of Aldek's business going smoothly.

When he arrived at the train station, he had just met with the person in charge of the worker loading, and Komorov saw a beautiful woman wearing a pink windbreaker and holding a bun, but it was Yulia Tymoshenko.

After looking at the brand new freight carriage on the railway rails, Komorov immediately understood why this woman appeared.

Seeing the other party approaching, Komorov smiled and took the initiative to greet him, and he couldn't help but sigh.

After Razarenko was taken down by Kuchima, many people thought that the former natural gas princess would quickly fall silent. After all, without the rights to distribute natural gas in Ukraine, Tymoshenko's so-called commercial empire lost the most important part of the income source. As for other businesses, they have not yet been on track.

Unexpectedly, this woman made a comeback soon.

It is rumored that Tymoshenko formed an alliance with another central bank president Victor Yushenko who had mastered Ukraine's money bags and reached a reconciliation with Kuchima, so he was able to recover. In fact, as one of the core of the Rovno Gang, Komorov knew that this woman actually got to gain a foothold again because she had taken advantage of her big boss.

Simon hoped to train Tymoshenko as his secret spell, but it was not a dead chess, so he informed several core members of the Rovno Gang.

Of course, at the public level, even if some other people with keen intuitions roughly guessed, they would not get Simon's confirmation.

As for Tymoshenko and the Rovno Gang are getting closer and closer. Ukraine, both the Kiev group and the Donetsk Gang in Dongwu, are very close to the Rovno Gang. On the one hand, it is the behemoth of the Westeros system behind the Rovno Gang. On the other hand, it is also the Rovno Gang not only does not compete with everyone for the assets left over from the former Soviet Union, but also can share various rich profits through cooperation. Who would not want to make good friends with such forces?

Tymoshenko is not conspicuous in it.

After the two sides approached and shook hands and greeted each other enthusiastically, Komorov looked at the brand new car on the track and smiled and said, "Yulia, you have really helped us a lot."

With the rapid development of Rifny, transportation capacity limitations have also become a shortcoming that restricts urban development.

The railway system that has not been updated since the collapse of the Soviet Union is second. What has troubled Rivny the most in the past two years is the serious shortage of train car washes, which is the main force in freight. Whether it is the input of raw materials or the output of products, a large amount of car washes are needed, so that there will be disputes within the Rovno Gang in order to compete for car washes.

Obviously, he saw this business opportunity. Tymoshenko acquired a locomotive factory in Odessa this year, specializing in the production of train wagons. Currently, he can supply 50 brand new cars to Rifny every week, which is exactly the same as the number of a freight train.

Of course, this business is not just Tymoshenko.

Even Victor Pinchuk, the president's son-in-law, had made some moves, but Pinchuk mainly produced equipment such as train wheels and rails, and the carriage was second. The equipment supply of the new railway station planned in northern Rifney was taken down by Pinchuk.

Therefore, Komorov said that Tymoshenko was very helpful, of course it was just a compliment.

After all, he is a big boss' woman, and he is so capable, it's always right to praise him.

Yulia Tymoshenko was not proud of anything. He said politely, then looked at the busy loading workers and asked, "I heard that you have opened a new business this time?"

Komorov did not hide it and nodded, "Yes, the cooperation with German affordable supermarket chain Aldi actually started last year. It initially only supplies simple flour, sugar and cooking oil. This time, four new categories have been added, including candy, coffee, sausage and vodka. Oh, all of them are our own brands, and the sales have been well tested, and some marketing has been carried out. This is the first large-scale delivery."

Ordinary people may not feel anything when they hear these things. They are all daily life, but Tymoshenko is envious.

As the "bread basket" of the former Soviet Union, Ukraine once supplied 20% of the entire Soviet Union's flour, 40% of cooking oil and up to 80% of sugar. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukrainian agricultural production also collapsed for a while. In recent years, it has only recovered to about half of the output in all aspects before the disintegration.

But it is still enough to export and earn foreign exchange based on your own use.

Let’s talk about Rovno, Tymoshenko roughly knew that before, it was just basic flour, sugar and cooking oil and other businesses. Rivni’s average daily output was the size of a train, about 40 to 60 car skins. The output of the three basic foods in the past year has reached a huge amount of million tons, and the annual revenue is expected to exceed US$600 million.

Even if the profit margins of the three basic foods are very low, the average net profit margin is only about 5%, it is expected to bring a net income of US$30 million to Rovnob.

$30 million may not be anything to the little man behind all this, but in Ukraine, it is a business that many people are jealous of.

Now, obviously, it's a step further.

The profit margin of deep-processed candy, sausage and vodka is more than 5%.

Besides, Ukraine does not produce coffee beans. Tymoshenko knows that these are imported from Africa and processed in Rifny and exported to Western Europe. Unlike local flour and other products produced and sold by themselves, the profit will be very high.
