Chapter 771 To Ukraine (2) (Revised)(1/2)

Inside the restaurant of the mountaintop villa south of Park City.

It is January 22nd.

Sunday.

In the early morning, Grace, who had not slept in the guest bedroom after getting up, reminded her to come to the restaurant after she was reminded by Girl A.

Simon is already sitting at the dining table with Celia Miller.

After saying good morning, he glanced at the little man who was casually discussing Ukrainian affairs with Celia, who was wearing a black OL outfit. Grace hesitated a little and took the initiative to come to Simon to sit next to her, but she didn't dare to look at Celia opposite her.

Bryce Levison is missing in the restaurant.

However, the woman who is usually pampered and has no habit of getting up early.

Among the three women, she could not compare with the other two women in terms of age or appearance. However, her feelings for the little man had penetrated into her bones and was willing to give everything for him, even if she died.

Therefore, although the little man had no intention of grieving her last night, she took the initiative to come over.

Actually, I was jealous and wanted to fight for it.

Grace also discovered another thing. There was always rumors in the circle that he liked other people's wives, but this seemed to be just a manifestation, the fact...it seemed even more hateful.

A ridiculous little bastard.

but……

Anyway.

As long as you can be around him occasionally, anything will be fine.

Eating breakfast in small mouthfuls, Grace gradually calmed down, and she began to pay attention to the discussion between the little man beside her and Celia opposite her.

Regarding overseas investment, Simon never naively thought that he could open up the market in other countries by having money and willing to spend money, so he would only become a fat sheep slaughtered. Therefore, only by confirming that a country's foreign economic policies are stable enough, or that the Westeros system has considerable influence and control over the target market will he relax his investment.

The former is China, and the latter is Ukraine.

Moreover, Ukraine is currently limited to Rovno Oblast.

The Kiev authorities' previous concessions in the removal of the governor of Rovno Prefecture made Simon determined to further increase investment in this area.

Simon intends to build Ukraine, to be precise, into a huge ‘European factory’.

For general overseas capital, Ukraine's most attractive resources are probably agriculture supported by fertile black soil and a huge industrial system inherited from the Soviet Union.

However, in Simon's view, Ukraine's most abundant resource is manpower.

At present, Ukraine has 52 million people, with an average salary of less than US$30, which is comparable to China on the other side of the ocean.

20 years later, China's economy took off, and Ukraine, which has been in turmoil for a long time, had a per capita income of only two or three hundred dollars. This is still a figure that is absolutely inflated by the official statistics.

The decline of the country's economy has led to more than 9 million people leaving their hometowns in Ukraine. In order to survive, European countries are engaged in various lowest occupations. This proportion accounts for 20% of the country's total population. Only Middle Eastern countries that have to flee at home can match it.

Let's not talk about it in the future.

Simon's current plan is to use Ukraine's low-priced human resources costs to build the Rovno region into a small "European factory" and attract enterprises and capital inside and outside the Westeros system to build various factories in this region that require a large number of labor.

Compared with this plan, Simon's previous series of investments in Ronov Prefecture can only be regarded as a small fuss.

As Nokia becomes the world's largest mobile communication equipment manufacturer, especially the production of mobile phones will see explosive growth in the next few years, and ultimately reaching the terrifying sales of hundreds of millions of mobile phones each year, the lowest-level assembly workers required for Nokia's mobile phone production will also reach hundreds of thousands. If various supporting industrial chains are included, the overall employment created will reach the millions.

Nokia's main OEM base will be selected to be established in China.

However, due to some consideration that eggs cannot be placed in a basket, Simon plans to place part of Nokia's mobile phone production business in Ukraine.

In the near future, Nokia will establish an assembly factory with an annual output of 1 million mobile phones in Rifney. This alone will bring 3,000 direct jobs, and various supporting facilities will indirectly drive at least tens of thousands of long-term job opportunities.

This is just the beginning.

But in 1994, Nokia's shipments of mobile phone devices alone reached 12.7 million units, and it is expected to reach 20 million units in 1995. After the outbreak of the mobile communications industry in 1996 and 1997, this data will continue to double.

Simon's plan is to place Nokia's 20% to 30% mobile phone production based on specific circumstances in Ukraine.

Therefore, just Nokia can create hundreds of thousands of direct and indirect jobs in the Rovno region in the future.

Of course, there are more than Nokia in the plan.

The entry of other Westeros system-related companies can also achieve this effect.

At that time, the city of Rivni, the capital of Rovno Prefecture, will be more prosperous than Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. With the deepening of economic penetration, the Westeros system will have more and more control over Rovno Prefecture and even the entire Ukraine.

As millions of people are involved in the jobs of them, no one dares to act rashly on the interests of the Westeros system in Ukraine.

Moreover, Simon will not support the Rovno region without restraint. He has even considered how to re-eat the wealth accumulated after the development of this region in the future to avoid its industrial upgrading from the fate of the lowest OEM base.

The method is actually very simple.

real estate.

A house, a mortgage for decades, and a couple of families will be tied up for life, and it will be clean and neat.

kill without spilling blood.

Therefore, if there are some uncontrollable changes in the future, Simon can leave only real estate in the Rovno area, and it may be the last worthless real estate. The wealth accumulated by millions of people through hard work for decades will be quietly squeezed and transferred by the Westeros system.

Simon will not easily tell others about these deep considerations. Even Celia, who had a skin-loving relationship with him on the dining table at this time, would only let Celia implement it according to his own plan.

However, even though Simon did not point it out, Celia vaguely noticed the huge and profound layout of the little man in front of her.

Unlike a woman next to Simon who had given up on himself and could not extricate herself, Celia, who was forced to withdraw from the Washington officialdom, still looks more at the powerful hidden power brought to herself by relying on the Westeros system.

Celia enjoyed the feeling of speaking in the United Nations General Assembly against many heads of state representing the Westeros system, enjoyed the feeling of personally participating in creating a private military force, and enjoyed the feeling of bargaining with a president directly or even tit-for-tat.

Celia did not deny that she was a powerful woman.

I was a little dissatisfied with helping men deal with various trivial matters in business and even life. During this period, especially after Simon's sorting out this morning, Celia realized that the man seemed to be able to do it casually, and unknowingly, she had already set up a huge chess game.

And she is no longer a chess piece like other people, at least she is also a fragrant red sleeve who cooks tea with bare hands beside the chess player.

As breakfast was about to end, Simon said to Celia, whose eyes were shining with some light, "I will return to Los Angeles in the morning. If there is no other arrangement, I will set off for Ukraine next Wednesday. If you don't want to go there with me in the short term, just let Emily accompany you."

Upon hearing this, Celia shook her head immediately: "No, I'll go together."

Simon nodded: "It's better."

Grace didn't interrupt during the whole breakfast. She knew that the little man beside her was a versatile guy. Usually, people around her rarely feel neglected. She didn't take the initiative to talk to her just now, not because she ignored her, but because she was close enough and there was no need.

Grace never took the initiative to talk and quietly became a listener.

Now I heard from the little man that he was leaving in the morning, Grace, who had already finished her breakfast, couldn't help but look over.

Simon noticed her gaze and turned her head and asked with a smile, "When will you go back to New York?"

If it weren't for Simon, Grace wouldn't have come to Park City this weekend.

However, since I have come, I can't let the man retreat immediately as soon as she leaves. This is a bit too obvious. I thought for a while and said, "I'll attend the brand event of Lishikabon tomorrow morning and I'll also attend it in the evening."

Simon listened to Grace's gentle voice, and couldn't help but reach out to grab her delicate chin and pinch it. When he stopped, he scraped the other person's nose. He watched the woman's angrily and shy eyes flashed back and forth between herself and Celia in a panic, and smiled and said, "Then I'll lend it to you here, and Zoe and the others will leave it to you."

Grace opened her mouth and wanted to refuse. She felt the warm gaze of the man who wanted to melt her away, and nodded subconsciously: "Yes."

Arrived on Thursday, attended the opening ceremony of Sundance, and quietly completed the secret meeting with Bush Sr. The premiere of "This Man from Earth" has been completed, and some newcomers who should have been attracted last night have also communicated. All arrangements for Simon's trip to Park City have been completed.

After breakfast, without stopping too much, Simon took a bus to Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah, where she would take a private plane back to Los Angeles. Celia Miller left Park City with Simon, but she would take a plane to the East Coast in Salt Lake City.

After Simon left, Grace immediately felt that the villa seemed much empty.

Actually, I still feel empty.

I couldn't help but arrange Zoe and his friends to take care of the villa inside and out like the hostess, and then I felt a little satisfied.

I just always feel like I have forgotten something.

Until 11:00 am, after finishing the "housework", he called his two children in New York to explain some trivial matters. Finally, he sat in a living room on the second floor of the villa overlooking the panoramic view of Park City, drinking the coffee that Zoe had just brought. Grace suddenly remembered that there was another guy in the villa.

When I arrived at the master bedroom, a lazy woman had indeed not gotten up.

He shook the other person up unceremoniously. Looking at the traces on Bryce Levison's fair skin when he sat up in a daze, Grace even felt a strange envy. People's physiques are different. She is the kind of woman who is difficult to leave traces on her body. Bryce Levison, who has been pampered since childhood, has the kind of system that can get out of water by pinching her hands.

Then Grace couldn't help pinching her again.

Bryce Levison suffered a pain in his body and protested dissatisfiedly, but he had no choice but to start dressing at Grace's urging.

After washing up, he went downstairs and learned that Simon had left, Grace seemed to have the intention to drive her away. Bryce Levison didn't seem to have anything to do with him, so he immediately fell down, but he just didn't leave anyway.

After communicating with Simon yesterday, the purpose of Bryce Levison's trip to Park City has been achieved.

The follow-up is not something she, a housewife, needs to care about.

Although I don't like the cold weather in Park City, after staying for a day and a night, especially with such a big house and a group of maids who are more attentive than their servants, Bryce Levison thinks this place is actually good.

So I plan to stay for a few days.

Not leaving.

She is actually very smart.

Since the man did not send her out when he left, he allowed Grace to stay, there was no reason she could not stay.

What's more, he was so troubled by him last night, this is considered compensation.

As for what his man in Florida thinks, since he cruelly sent him to "sheep into the mouth of a tiger", he should be mentally prepared. She knew her husband's nature well and caught up with her, a beautiful and charming person who was ten years younger than him, and even got married with a child, they did not sign a prenuptial agreement.

Therefore, in order to avoid half of his property being separated, he now doesn't even dare to divorce.
