Chapter 1502
After Yelina Bodminskaya spoke, she regretted it. It was not that she regretted it, but that she realized that it seemed inappropriate to call Simon Westeros by her name.
It should be called Mr. Westeros or something.
What she didn't expect was that she was just shouting and was instantly pressed to the ground by two large and round bodyguards. Not only were her arms pulled out of place by a few clicks, but a cold barrel was instantly pressed against her head and her face was also pressed into the grass by the lake.
Want to cry.
Not because of pain, but embarrassment.
Obviously she messed up. Perhaps, when she looked up again, the big man had disappeared. Even because of her "attack" she might be dismissed from public office... The more she thought about it, the more she became scared, and Ye Lina burst into tears.
Fortunately, the worst result did not happen.
Her whole body was carefully searched, and the security team here quickly confirmed her identity. Then her boss, Lindieva, was also called to confirm. She was finally untied her belt tightly tied with her hands, and her dislocated arm was reinstalled.
But... I still couldn't help crying.
Because of the trouble just now, Ye Lina knew that she must be in a very embarrassing place now, and the big man did not leave. Instead, she sat in the pavilion just now. When she was talking to her boss, she seemed to have looked at her for a few times.
Ye Lina is a standard Slavic girl. She is not as good as the top-notch appearance, and she must have scored more than 75 points. In addition, she pays great attention to appearance after becoming a civil servant, and almost all her income is used to improve herself. At least before being knocked down by two bodyguards, her overall temperament reached the 80-point level.
Now, because I was just pressed into the grass, my makeup was ruined, and I might not even pass the exam.
How could this leave any good impression on that big man?
O God!
Between the gains and losses, the two girls walked towards her. Ye Lina recognized that they were two maids in her boss's villa. After hearing one of the other's words, she did not scold, but comforted her. She felt a little relieved, but didn't care too much and asked directly: "Can you... have a makeup mirror, can you lend me some?"
After tidying up his makeup, there was also movement on the other side. A big man walked out of the pavilion surrounded by everyone. Ye Lina quickly got up and looked over. Simon Westero was still the girl just now, and on the other side, there was another daughter of her boss, Angelica, who was holding his arm.
Several other people were also recognized, including Vladimir Korkoshko, the deputy governor of Rovno Prefecture, and Sergei Komorov, the very low-key leader of the Oldek company. If it were in the past, these were big shots who would try to make friends with small people like her when they seized the opportunity. However, at the moment, Yelina's attention was only very precisely focused on Simon Westeros.
Simon Westeros was talking to two girls on the left and right. Angelica, the boss's little girl, invited the man to have dinner at their place, and her boss cooked in person. Then the girl on the other side said that the man had already made arrangements for the evening, and she also implied that her boss's cooking skills would definitely not be as good as a professional chef.
Balabala.
When he heard another girl's voice, Ye Lina, who was thinking about how to save everything just now, was stunned again, because the voice was not familiar, but it was really memorable. After a few more glances, it was obvious that this was the girl who casually took the blood amber pendant at the Amber Exhibition last year.
Sure enough.
A lot of thoughts flashed through my mind instantly. However, Ye Lina was not confused this time. When Simon Westeros and her party approached, they took a step forward and took the initiative to say, "Mr. Westeros, I'm so sorry just now."
After opening my mouth, I realized another problem.
Can Simon Westeros understand that he spoke Russian?
However, Ye Lina didn't know much about English, so she secretly decided that this was her next goal of progress.
Simon was listening to the two small water onions beside him, and saw the girl just now speaking, stop and look at the roadside, look at the girl, and also said in Russian: "It doesn't matter, are you injured? Let them take you to check?"
After the man said this, Yelina realized that her arms were still a little painful, but she immediately shook her head: "No," and added: "Mr. Westeros, my name is Yelina Bodminskaya, and I am the secretary of Director Lindyeva."
"Oh," Simon nodded and smiled, "You must be very capable."
Ye Lina noticed that when she said this, the two girls on the left and right showed a vigilant expression, but they couldn't care about so much, and continued: "Mr. Westeros, I also joined the Progressive Alliance Party, I..."
Ye Lina originally wanted to say that she hoped to make a difference in politics. After all, as we all know, behind the Progressive Alliance Party is actually the Westeros system, Simon Westeros. However, when she said this, she suddenly changed the subject and said boldly: "I, Mr. Westeros, can I serve you?"
Simon didn't expect this girl to be so simple and direct, but he simply nodded: "Okay, but you have to prove yourself first."
Ye Lina subconsciously stepped forward, her eyes lit up: "What should I do?"
"Someone will tell you."
After saying that, Simon stopped stopping and walked towards the way he had come before.
I originally wanted to take a walk along BASF Lake, but the episode just now gave Simon aside, and he would return to his villa to calm down.
Ye Lina stood by the roadside and waited for a group of people to come over. The two maids from the boss's family next to her also followed. After thinking about it, she also chased after her.
After walking for five or six minutes, I arrived at a manor at the southern end of BASF. Ye Lina continued to walk all the way into the door, and was stopped until she arrived at the main villa. After the big man explained to a woman who looked like a housekeeper, she followed the other party to the annex next to the villa.
Some regrets, but there are also expectations.
Ye Lina knew that she had stepped out of a height that others might not have reached for decades.
Anastasia Lindiva naturally followed her into the main villa and looked at her two daughters who were entangled by the man. Lindiva was in a complicated mood.
After finally finding the right person, I talked to the easy-to-talk Miss Besonoskova and sent her two girls to study in the UK. I thought it would be a fulfillment of the wishes of the two girls. After all, they had always wanted to go abroad. Unexpectedly, when they heard that the man came here, the two girls hurriedly ran back without saying hello to her.
Rintieva knew that the two girls must have received news from Valicia's two girls.
The mother and daughter...
Anyway, the treatment is indeed much better than theirs. Kaga and Aphrola went to study in the UK together, but found that they could not adapt to the life and language there, so they stayed for only one month and ran back. Then they symbolically entered a top private high school in Rifny. However, the two girls rarely went to school, but they spent most of their time traveling around the world, and sometimes the mother and daughter were still together.
Rintieva met Kaga the last time she saw the girl driving an expensive red Ferrari sports car, saying it was an 18-year-old birthday gift.
My own...
I have a gift for my birthday, but it is not as expensive as that Ferrari.
Lindyeva was not envious of this, and she was still a little alienated from Valicia without realizing it. She even rarely contacted the seven women at that time. She only focused on her work and did not live in a house like other women. However, these persistences were obviously not as good as the expectations of her two girls for Kajia and the others in life.
How can this work?
Simon had no time to pay attention to the women's thoughts. When he returned to the villa, he sent away the entangled girls around him. He came to a study with Vladimir Korkoshko and Sergei Komorov to talk about things.
Regarding the next layout for the Rovno Prefecture and even the entire Ukraine.
From 1994 to the present, it has been almost five years since it was almost a day. From the initial caution to the subsequent continuous increase, the foundation laid by the Westeros system in Rovno Oblast has become increasingly deeper.
Let’s talk about the economy only. Rovno Prefecture, which originally belonged to the most backward region of Ukraine, has jumped from 3% of Ukraine in 1994 to the present, and has reached 11%. The GDP in 1998 reached US$4.6 billion. Among the 27 administrative regions of Ukraine, it is currently ranked third, second only to Kiev, the capital, which accounts for 23%, and Donetsk, which accounts for 14%.
As expected, while the economy in other regions of Ukraine is still experiencing a bottom, only Rovno State maintains strong growth, this year, it can easily surpass Donetsk, which is second in the year, and strongly catch up with the capital Kiev.
For Simon, catching up with Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, and becoming the country's most economically strong state is certainly not the goal.
Because it's too easy to achieve.
After all, Kiev's GDP in 1998 was only 9.6 billion US dollars, and Simon could easily create a ten-billion economy with money.
Therefore, even the economic volume of more than 40 billion yuan that all other administrative regions of Ukraine combined, well, after the decline this year, even if Rovno Prefecture continues to grow, it will fall to the 30 billion GDP range. In short, it is not Simon's goal.
What Simon wants is to start at least 100 billion US dollars.
It is not the entire Ukraine, but only Rovno, or even Rivni, a city with an economic scale of 100 billion, which is considered to be qualified only if Simon is qualified. As part of the global production system directly controlled by the Westeros system in the plan, Rivni's economic scale can reach Simon's standards by 200 to 300 billion US dollars.
Speaking of which, even in the years when it was the best economy, the entire Ukraine's economic size has not exceeded US$200 billion. If we refer to this standard, it seems a bit fantasy to make a city in Rifni reach 300 billion.
However, this is actually a detailed consideration by Simon and a careful argument by the Westeros system think tank team, and the conclusion is feasible.
Because the overall conditions of Ukraine are so unique.
First of all, the population.
A population of 50 million is among the top in Europe. And, more importantly, it is cheap.
It is undeniable that if a poor and blank country wants to develop, rich and cheap human resources are an indispensable factor.
The second is all kinds of resources.
Not only is it a large area of black soil that can be called a European granary, but it is enough to support a country to enter modernization. Ukraine actually has no shortage of all kinds of resources.
For example, coal, Ukraine is just a proven coal resource, which is enough for this country to burn for a century.
The reason why Ukraine used to rely heavily on Russia for energy and was overly biased towards natural gas was mainly because the country's economy had been declining for a long time and was unable to develop a complete energy self-sufficiency system based on its own resources.
Rifney’s layout over the years has carefully considered this point.
The fuel used by a series of newly built power plants in Rovno Prefecture is all self-sufficient coal in Ukraine, rather than more convenient and cheaper natural gas. After all, the so-called convenience and cheapness are just a temporary moment. As the scale gradually increases, the coal-fired power generation cost in Rovno Prefecture is now lower than that of natural gas power plants.
Then there is oil.
Ukraine itself does not have much oil resources, but across the Black Sea, opposite Turkey, next to Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and even Libya on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, etc. are all oil-producing countries, not to mention Russia next door. No matter how you count, crude oil imports are much more convenient than those in Asia, such as China, Japan, South Korea, and other countries.
Finally, it is the geographical location.
In the farming era, there is no doubt that Ukraine belonged to the four battles.
At present, the game of attacks between humans cannot be so naked. Looking at Ukraine, it is the development of four links.
As long as a huge production base can be established, the products here can be sold to Western Europe in the west, Russia and Central Asia in the east, and to the group of big dogs in the Middle East, and a group of large and small countries in the north will not lack purchasing power.
In short, there is no shortage of time and place.
Even if it is human and this, at least this acre of three-point land in Rovno Oblast has been firmly controlled by the Westeros system and there is no shortage.
Next, as long as the Westeros system can provide sufficient development funds for this area, there will be great potential for rapid development and growth.
In fact, to put it bluntly, what is lacking is indeed only funds.
The reason why Western Europe recovered so quickly after World War II was that the United States' Marshall Plan provided huge financial assistance to Western European countries.
Whether it was the collapse of the Soviet Union or the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, the key reason why countries were willing to leave the red camp and go to the West was that the Western camp led by the United States, Britain, Germany and France agreed to provide the financial assistance needed for development in Eastern Europe.
Funds are actually resources.
It’s like building a house without bricks and tiles, and the whole village comes to help, it’s useless.
Of course, the result was that the Soviet Union collapsed and Eastern Europe disintegrated. The aid agreed by the Western camp has not arrived for a long time and will never come.
One of the key reasons why there was a Marshall plan was that the Soviet Union.
The United States does not want the Soviet Union to continue to expand, so of course it has to take advantage of the benefits to win over the younger brothers of various families so as not to turn against each other. Now, the biggest threat to the Western camp has self-destructed, without confrontation and crisis, who is willing to pay attention to a group of dilapidated houses?
The landlord's family has no surplus food either!
Yes, it's not right.
Simon has.
