At this stage, Ukraine, in addition to the Rovno Gang, which is controlled by the Westeros system in the northwest and the Petrovsk Gang, which holds the power of Kiev, is another important political and economic force. It is the Donetsk Gang, which has the Donetsk Oblast, an industrial city in the east of Ukraine, as its base.

According to Simon's news, Ukrainian Prime Minister Pavlo Razarenko was assassinated, and the commander behind the scenes was Yev Serban, the leader of the Donetsk Gang at this time.

As for the reason, it is still for the benefit.

Unlike Xiwu, which is mainly agriculture, the Dongwu region concentrates most of the country's energy industrial assets, especially Donetsk, where 90% of Ukraine's coal resources are stored.

When Razalenko was just the Minister of Energy two years ago, he had been trying to get involved in the territory of the Donetsk Gang. This year he was successfully promoted to Ukrainian Prime Minister. This politician who is famous for losing several layers of skin in any past projects will naturally not restrain himself. He joined hands with his partner Yulia Tymoshenko to try to divide the steel and coal mine industries in the Donetsk region, but ended up facing the most fierce rebound of the Donetsk Gang.

Just yesterday, on July 18, Razalenko was attacked by a car bomb on his way to the airport, and he was finally in danger.

As a latecomer, Simon also knows the follow-up.

After all, even if a small country like Ukraine is assassinated, it will inevitably attract the attention of the international community.

In history, after this incident, around the end of the same year, the Razalenko's group was tit for tooth, and Yev Sherban was not as lucky as Razalenko. The Sherban and his wife were beaten into sieve by several professional killers.

This is actually the cruel current situation in the former Soviet Union.

Not only did the commercial oligarchs who took advantage of the situation during this period have not had a clean foundation. Even the middle and lower classes often compete for a company, a property, or even a department store, which may cause a fire. In order to prevent violent robberies that may occur at any time, many major commercial venues in the former Soviet Union cities will have security guards with AK47 hanging directly,

In fact, no one can tell whether it is a security guard or a gangster.

It's like a wilderness era that has lost its constraints on rules.

In a high-end club in the north of Rivni City, Simon stood in front of a wall with a glass of red wine, holding a glass of red wine, surrounded by Oldek company head Sergei Komorov, UFMS president Krem Dereviyanko, Rovno Prefecture Governor Andrei Smirnov, and Rivni Media head Alexander Liudaev and others.

After taking a sip of red wine, Simon stroked the spot where the Rovno Prefecture is on the map with his other hand, and said to the people around him: "I know you are becoming less and less satisfied and limiting your power to Rovno Prefecture, and want to expand outward. However, now you should see that this is not an easy task. The Petrovsk Gang has mastered the political power of this country, and the Donetsk Gang inherited most of the industrial heritage of the former Soviet era. In comparison, think about yourself, what do you have?"

Simon said this, and saw Jereviyanko raise his eyebrows slightly at him, and smiled and said, "Yes, you have me."

Everyone chuckled.

Simon waited for a moment, but shook his head and said, "But I have to pour cold water on you. I have no interest in fighting with those people for the assets you value, because I don't like it. With such time and energy, I can find hundreds of more rewarding investment projects in other parts of the world."

Thinking about the latest news about Simon's $1.3 trillion personal wealth, everyone in the cocktail hall had no way to refute it.

And everyone also understood that Simon's fundamental appeal to Rovno Prefecture is actually only one of the core points: Ukrainian Frontline Military Service Company (UFMS), a private armed force initiated by the Rwandan War two years ago and maintained activeness, is the fundamental reason why this trillion-dollar young man will appear here.

Otherwise, as Simon just said, he would not look down on this dilapidated border state in northwest of Ukraine.

And...them...

It is true that Simon Westeros looks down on them, and another fact is that the biggest reliance of everyone on the scene is the young man standing in the middle of the crowd at this time. If there were no other party, everyone on the scene, or just an ordinary businessman who could only do some insignificant small business, or just a veteran who did not know where he would go after retirement, or just a marginal politician who was overturned by a storm on the ground...

But now, they are the Rovno Gang that no force in this country can ignore.

Even if the political forces cannot compare with the Petrovsk Gang and their economic strength is not as good as the Donetsk Gang, but with the towering tree of the Westeros system as a backing, when other forces are fighting hard for various interests, who can be sure of the way the Rovno Gang, which has been silent and rapidly developing, will be able to take in the future?

In the cocktail hall, Simon poured cold water and took another sip of red wine. He looked at the Ukraine map in front of him and suddenly asked: "Do you know why I can have more than one trillion dollars in wealth?"

Everyone looked at each other.

They really haven't considered this question seriously. When faced with Simon's question, even if there were some thoughts in their minds, they did not speak up rashly.

Simon didn't wait for the answer, and was not disappointed. He replied: "Because I am good at walking the paths that others have not taken before and developing industries that others have not noticed. The most typical one is the Internet. The word Internet actually appeared in the 1970s, but it was not until twenty years later that the Internet began to explode. It is no exaggeration to say that the Westeros system dominated this outbreak. Cisco, American Online, Igret, and three companies constitute a whole industrial chain of network equipment providers, network service providers and network content providers. Now, the market value of these three companies combined exceeds 1 trillion US dollars. In comparison, based on the 5 times that of national wealth is equivalent to GDP, the entire Ukraine is only worth 200 billion US dollars."

Speaking of this, Simon glanced at the expressions of the people around him. Some were fascinated, some were surprised, some were thinking, and some smiled again, and then said, "I said this, not to show off anything to you, but to point out a way. The assets left over from the Soviet era and other resources of this country seem to be a very delicious piece of fat, but it is not a small price to get it, and may even lose your life. Moreover, once you put your targets on these things, most of the time in the future will be spent on various struggles, which will hinder your progress. Then, the question arises again. In addition to the people who are fighting for, tell me, what other precious wealth does Ukraine have not been noticed by Razarenko and the others?"

Another question.

This time, everyone was not silent anymore, and Sergei Komorov quickly said: "Simon, I remember you once said that it should be... well, the population."

Simon raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "Yes, the population, with a population of more than 50 million, is definitely the most valuable and unrespected wealth in Ukraine. It is also a path you can take like me that others have not taken."

As he said this, Simon no longer looked at the reactions of both sides, but made a flickering towards the gray area around the Ukraine map, and then said: "First of all, we must start with the overall situation. On April 15, 1994, the World Trade Organization was established, which is an important time node, a node for the accelerated globalization of the world economy. The most obvious result of globalization is that capital will naturally flow to areas with lower costs, such as China, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe. In comparison, although human resources in Eastern Europe are equally cheap, they have no competitiveness compared to Asia. As for the reasons, you should understand."

Simon, whether he really understood or not, he would cooperate to show a knowing smile.

China's reform and opening up has been nearly twenty years, and Southeast Asia has always been the key target of Western countries to curb China. Therefore, the industrial foundation is relatively solid, and the costs of various industries are very cheap, which is the best flow of capital at this stage.

This is not actually impossible to catch up.

The most critical reason is that the Eastern European region is too chaotic at this stage. Not to mention the Yugoslavia and other countries that are in a civil war, even Russia or Ukraine, there are no suitable conditions for introducing foreign investment to develop the economy.

The business environment is really bad!

If it weren't for a super oligarch of the Westeros system, ordinary businessmen would like to invest in these countries, from officials to gangs, they would peel it down layer by layer. In the end, let alone whether the company can do it successfully, whether people can leave safely is a problem.

When Simon arrived all over the place, he habitually read the local newspaper.

Just before the afternoon cocktail party, in addition to the large-scale news of Lazarenko being assassinated in today's "Kitsui Guide", there was another news that attracted Simon's attention: a German businessman opened a flour processing factory in Kiev three years ago. After the factory was completed, he was coveted by the gangsters in his area. He wanted to blackmail 30% of the shares for nothing, but the businessman naturally would not agree, and was shot in the headshot last year.

The content of the news is that the Kiev police announced that the case was officially solved and the relevant suspects were brought to justice.

However, on the surface, justice seems to be upheld, but when most overseas businessmen see this news, they probably cut off the idea of ​​investing in some business in Ukraine.

Simon's mind flashed through his news and continued: "No matter what other Ukraine states and counties are like, the Rovno Prefecture is different. Since we have completely controlled this area, we should make the best use of it. Compared with Asia, Ukraine has absolute geographical advantages. As for raw materials, as the European granary, no country can compare with Ukraine. As for manpower, as long as the Rovno Prefecture provides enough opportunities and does not need to expand outward, the public will naturally gather around us. With the rapid advancement of globalization and taking advantage of Ukraine's population advantage, we can completely build Rovno Prefecture into a European factory, clothing, furniture, electronics, food, etc., which can all be involved, and they all have the potential to do well."

Give everyone some time to digest again. Simon drank a few sips of red wine, glanced at the crowd with a look of his eyes, and then said: "And, once the plan is achieved, this matter will bring another result, that is, you will get the support of the public. Think about it, whether it is the Petrovsk Gang or the Donetsk Gang, they are just dividing the assets of this country and ignoring the lives of the people. However, Rovno Prefecture can create countless job opportunities and allow countless people to live a prosperous and stable life. It goes without saying who the public will support. In short, as long as you continue to follow this plan and succeed, at most ten years, this country will be yours."

Simon has never been a person who likes to talk too much. However, this does not mean that Simon is not good at speaking and inciting. The end of the words, which included a big ambition, made everyone at the scene feel excited.

However, to be honest, this is still just a big pie drawn by Simon using the subject.

As Simon initially said, if he wanted to make money, he would not have fallen in love with Ukraine, a turbulent place, and there are too many better investment goals.

On the other hand, Simon had already emerged as an idea of ​​the ‘European factory’.

The initial idea was to cover the entire Ukraine, but later it was discovered that it was not realistic at all, so it narrowed down to the Rovno Oblast, the complete control point of the Westeros system.

In the past two years, in addition to the top UFMS, Simon has been laying the foundation for this plan intentionally or unintentionally.

Now, Rovno Prefecture has been completely mastered by the Westeros system, with stable social order and superior business environment. Next, as the expansion of Razalenko's power becomes a threat to Kuchima, the infighting of the Kiev authorities intensifies, and there is definitely no time to care about Rovno Prefecture, so it will be the best time for the Rovno Gang to expand rapidly.

Not only that, the Southeast Asian economic crisis that will begin next year will also slow down the flow of European and American capital to Asia. After the economic crisis spreads around the world, the trend of Western real industries transferring to lower-cost areas will intensify, which provides Simon's "European Factory" plan with the best external conditions.

With both internal and external conditions, the next step is to implement it.

Knowing is easy to do but hard to do.

There has never been a shortage of the best plan in this world, and very few can succeed in the end. The key is that it is never even possible to implement the plan in tens of the plan.

Therefore, we can only wait and see how far the Rovno Gang, which Simon has built, can go.

If you succeed, everyone will be happy.

Failure is irrelevant to the overall situation.

Because of a lot of discussions about the ‘European Factory’ plan, Simon did not leave the club north of Rifney City until late at night.

I didn't go to the south villa nearby.

The three girls Yekaterina over there were not in Ukraine, but went to Atlanta to watch the Olympics. After following Simon for two years, Simon had fewer restrictions on the three girls who were growing up. A few days ago, through Celia and Simon, he agreed casually.

Of course, Simon won't say that he will come to Ukraine recently.

After guessing that Simon would come from here based on various signs in the morning, the girls at the hot spring manor were excited for a day. As a result, someone did not show up late at night, thinking that he probably wouldn't come. So, when Simon arrived at the manor around the early morning, most of the people had already fallen asleep.

Only Eve Besonoskova and a few others were still waiting quietly, including Lyudmira Besonoskova, who got the exact hint from her sister. Eve obviously also had his own little selfish intentions in this regard.

Seeing Simon enter the door, Lyudmira jumped into Simon's arms, hanging on the man like a sloth, and she couldn't wait to complain about Simon's suspension of the Victoria's Secret show. She was 18 years old next year. She originally wanted to become famous with the Victoria's Secret show platform, but now, she has no chance.

Simon did not pull the coquettish Lyudmila off her body, hugged the girl's little waist and greeted Eve, and looked at the other people. In addition to the few maids who followed Simon, there were two more. Because they had read the information in advance, they all recognized at a glance, one was nominally the other and the other was actually two hot spring manors, Natalia Banshikova and Marta Becknats.

Two women with completely different styles.
