"At the cocktail party just now, Pinchuk had clearly expressed his willingness to pursue the third term on behalf of the President. I was thinking, you should have received lobbying, right?"

After the cocktail party, this was a yacht next to the private pier of Linhai Manor.

At the round table on the top deck, Simon sat around Vladimir Korkoshko and Sergei Komorov. When he heard the big boss' question, the two nodded together without any concealment. Korkoshko also said directly: "Last week I went to Kiev to attend a meeting and was invited to the President's private party. Leon promised that I could replace Andre at any time and serve as the governor."

Simon asked with a smile, "How did you respond?"

Korkoshko confessed: "I told him that this matter needs to be discussed with you," he shrugged and smiled: "If Eve hadn't forgotten, I'd asked her to help tell you yesterday and want to talk to you about this."

Simon nodded and looked at Komorov again.

Sergei Komorov said: "Pinchuk talked to me in the morning. There is nothing I can buy from Kiev, but the attitude there is that if I am interested in politics, I can serve as prime minister in Leon's third term. I refuse directly and am planning to tell you."

Simon was very satisfied with the frank attitude of the two, and knew that what they said was the truth, nodding and said, "It's great."

Seeing this reaction from his boss, Korkoshko understood something vaguely. Fortunately, he was calm and asked, "Simon, what should we do next?"

Simon said: "Since Leon has promised you, promise him, and Andre can transfer to Odessa."

Komorov said: "Simon, if I guess correctly, you shouldn't give the answer they want in Kiev. In this case, maybe Vladimir's governor can take it and Andre will transfer to Odessa, which should not be easy."

"We absolutely supported Leon's successful re-election last year, which is something everyone sees. It is worth paying and getting a reward. The governor of Odessa is the reward we want."

Korkoshko couldn't help but say, "What if Kyiv doesn't agree?"

Simon put one hand on the round table slowly rubbing a glass cup, and laughed and said, "We paid, but we didn't get any rewards. Do you think we should continue to pay?"

"The problem is," Komorov said: "We can't turn against Leon immediately, aren't we?"

"If our request is met, we will be close partners. If it is not met, it is obviously Leon who has a grudge against us. Since the President has not only not been grateful but has a grudge after we have provided great help, then there is no need for both of us to continue to cooperate, and we will turn against each other."

Korkoshko said: "Actually, Simon, before we make this request, both sides should have no grudges."

"For my own business, I have always adhered to the idea of ​​not having conflicts with others as much as possible. Therefore, in Ukraine, I chose remote areas like Rovno Oblast instead of Kiev or Dongwu." Simon said: "However, any force, whether it is capital, political, or even a country, is impossible to develop to a certain extent without conflict with others. Because when you are huge enough, it will definitely threaten others or make people feel threatened. Should we take the initiative to stop developing in order to avoid these?"

Simon revealed the matter, and both of them suddenly realized.

At the same time, I realized one thing, why the development of the Rovno Gang in Ukraine has been so smooth in recent years. And, in the next step, even if it is not a life-and-death life, the fierce collision between the Rovno Gang and other Ukrainian forces will inevitably be inevitable.

At the round table, Simon continued without waiting for the two to respond, "You should have some experience after these years. Leon is a politician who likes to pursue balance very much, and this is the case for both the outside and the inside. Therefore, this time we ask the governor of Odessa Prefecture, not the foundation of the Dnepropetrovsk Oblast, nor the industrial center like Donetsk in Dongwu. He may hesitate, but he will still agree."

The two of them thought for a while, but couldn't help but nod.

In fact, the two of them couldn't help but feel that Simon's evaluation of Leon Kuchima was still somewhat restrained. The so-called balance of this president is largely inclined to compromise. Internationally, compromise between the United States and Russia, domestically, between various capital and political parties. In short, many times, hesitated, and lost many opportunities to completely eradicate political enemies and eliminate hidden dangers.

A typical example is the former Prime Minister Lazarenko Department.

Lazarenko has fled, but the former natural gas princess, who is an important partner of Lazarenko, is still very comfortable in China now and has become a big boss with her own future.

In comparison, it is obvious that his boss is also a person who likes to pursue balance.

However, when it is time to be decisive, the big boss will not hesitate and worry about gains and losses like Kuchima. Even because of some things over the years, both of them have a feeling that if the big boss becomes a mafia, he will definitely become a big boss.

This is already a fact.

The other two were not very clear, but the Rovno gang, whose tentacles had spread all over the world, obviously developed rapidly with the support of someone.

Besides, the one in Kiev is probably still hesitating about how to win over or let the Rovno Gang continue to help him fight for his third term, but the boss, judging from his statement just now, it is actually equivalent to abandoning Kuchima directly. This means that the Rovno Gang's next false and controversial versus the Kiev authorities is not a balanced compromise, but a deception, and slashing out the greatest benefits that can be obtained here, and then, there is no more.

The three of them were talking about some subsequent details. Natasha Lipskin, who was in charge of Simon's daily life here, appeared and said that the president of Odessa National University came to visit and brought a small gift that Simon might be interested in during the morning visit to the Rock Mineral Museum.

Lipskin said as he signaled to the dock.

The three of them looked over together. Standing on the shore of the dock was a man and a woman. The middle-aged man was the president of Odessa National University. Another girl wearing a black windbreaker with a gift box. I also saw it in the morning. The beautiful tour guide with a pure British accent.

Seeing this, the bald middle-aged principal waved to the side with a smile, looking very enthusiastic.

Simon replied with a smile, but pointed to the girl in the black windbreaker: "Just come here, Sergey, Vladimir, this time I will be here. You can accompany the principal to go back to the villa and chat casually. In addition, I won't say hello to you when I leave."

Vladimir Korkoshko and Sergei Komorov smiled knowingly, stood up and officially said goodbye, leaving the yacht.
