Chapter 1124: The free trade zone was established

Views:

Chen Qing stayed at the Jinshu Media headquarters for an hour, listened to progress reports on various projects, took away some paper documents, and left on time at two o'clock in the afternoon.

The destination is another big government office in Huangchenggen.

Speaking of which, I have been traveling between various yamen in the past few days. In the morning, I took Jinshu Media and Jiangsu local representatives to negotiate with the superiors about Jinshu Film and Television City, and in the afternoon, I went to discuss matters concerning Jinshu Film and Television City. The boss is about to make another trip to China. Although he still does not plan to appear in public this time, there will still be some high-level receptions in private and the schedule needs to be communicated.

In the evening, at the invitation of Wu Shanlin, I attended a party held by Jinshu Media for the completion of "Kangxi Private Interviews in Private Servers".

I kept running like this until about ten o'clock in the night.

Sitting in the car returning to her residence, Chen Qing, who was actually enjoying it, could not help but feel a little resentful. Lin Su returned to North America a few years later and started raising a baby and taking maternity leave like a mother-in-law, but she had to run around and take care of everything like a big girl.

Life is hard.

The black Mercedes-Benz sedan shuttled through Beijing late at night and turned into the brightly lit Maoer Hutong of Nanluogu Lane after renovation. Chen Qing looked out of the car. Over the past two or three years, the ancient alley here has undergone many large and small renovations. It was obviously much more spacious now, and even the brick walls of the courtyards on both sides of the street gave people a brand new feel.

The reason is self-explanatory.

Moreover, the changes in this area go far beyond the surface. Chen Qing also knows that at least in the southwest area of Nanluogu Lane, most of the courtyards surrounding his boss's courtyard have changed their owners. The words "simple wealth" are not enough. The kind of description.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of many people crowding in, Chen Qing once again helped her boss buy two large houses. One was on the east side of the original quadrangle, which expanded the original two-story side-by-side compound to a triple-story. One is diagonally opposite the south side of the three major mansions. It is mainly used to house the maids and guards team in the mansion separately, as well as to park cars.

When Chen Qing's car arrived near the mansion, the garage door on the south side, which was almost the same shape and color as the surrounding brick walls, quietly opened.

Of course, Chen Qing didn't need to pay attention to the subsequent trivial matters. After getting off the car with her entourage, she walked a few steps eastward and entered the door that was also opened after being notified. The two sisters Jiang Shanwu and Jiang Yuanchi had already greeted them.

Walking through the corridor to the inner courtyard, passing by Zhu Momo's residence, she found that the lights were still on. Chen Qing had no intention of saying hello, but she couldn't help but think of Ren Jingxi, who had been very active recently. I didn't feel any threat, I just couldn't help but sigh that my boss wasn't aggressive enough. What a good match for my aunt and niece.

The Jiang sisters have prepared hot water.

Chen Qing took a hot bath and came out. The day was not over yet, so she went to the study to plan the party list for the first 'Human World Meeting'. From last year to now, she submitted several batches of candidates to her boss. There are not many selected members, but since they are coming, my boss still plans to arrange some gatherings, not only for the few selected members, but also for other political and business figures.

In the early morning, I turned on my computer and sent another email to my boss.

Regarding work matters, I mainly communicate with the people around my boss. There are still some trivial matters that are semi-public and semi-private in my personal emails, such as the recent worries that Jinshu Film and Television City was reported, or that the film and television city has begun to plant large areas of ornamental peach blossoms, and there are also Last year, Simon had an impromptu plan to build a yacht on Tai Lake. Finally, he mentioned that he had found a batch of very distinctive large stones, the kind that were placed in Taohuawu to carve the eight characters.

Barabara.

Also attached are some photos.

After writing an email, I instinctively checked and revised it twice before sending it out, and then I finally rested.

The time is already one o'clock in the morning on April 22 in China.

Kiev is six hours behind Beijing.

Simon arrived in Rivni on April 20, local time. After a day of running around, he took the time to check work emails late at night and saw Chen Qing's email.

The location is in the manor just completed last year on the bank of Basf Lake in the south of Rivni City.

Basiv Lake, which covers an area of nearly 1 square kilometer, is the largest lake in the Rivni region. At first, Rivni Media almost used Basiv as the name of its own TV station, but Simon later changed it to the more understandable 'Basic'.

According to the city's planning, the northeast of Rivni is an industrial area and civilian area, the west is a mid-to-high-end residential area with the UFMS family community as the core, and the south is a wealthy area. After cleaning and renovation, the beautiful BASF Lakeside is the core of the wealthy area.

Compared with Chen Qing, who can spend an hour carefully crafting an email, Simon has to read dozens of emails an hour. He just skims over the various trivial things the girl said in the letters and replies to the things he cares about. , and quickly moved to the next unread message.

Around early in the morning, Eve Besonoskova knocked on the door and walked in after receiving permission. She held a glass of warm milk in her hand, gently placed it on the man's hand, and said softly: "Boss, you need to rest. ?"

Simon raised his wrist to look at his watch, nodded, but turned slightly sideways and patted his knee.

Eve's face turned slightly red, but she sat down obediently.

Then.

Hmm... At 188 centimeters tall, it is too big for a woman and not suitable for raising by hand at all.

Eve was also very aware of her 'disadvantage', so she shrunk as much as possible, and secretly envied a certain Eva, Eva Banshikova, Galina's younger sister who was 1.5 meters tall and was beaten by a man. When held in my arms, it looks like a doll, quite coordinated.

Thoughts immediately turned to Natalia Banshikova, who was transferred to London.

How ridiculous.

However, he was about the same. This time, if his sister Lyudmila hadn't gone to Tokyo for work, he would definitely not let them go.

"What are you thinking about?"

Hearing the man's sudden question, Eve quickly cheered up, but couldn't hold it back and subconsciously said: "Mira."

"Hey, is Mila still angry with me? She was not allowed to go on stage in the last Victoria's Secret show last year."

Eve quickly shook her head: "No, and there will be opportunities in the future, right?"

In fact, my sister was so angry that she even threatened to break up with a certain guy. She really hoped so, but unfortunately she only stayed angry for a while, so she just did as she should.

"In two years, she is still young, so there is no need to rush."

Simon said, putting his chin on Eve's shoulder, wrapping his arms around her body and reaching for the keyboard, tapping away at another email.

"I know."

Staying closer like this, Eve answered casually, ignoring her sister's words that models would be eliminated quickly before they could make their mark after the age of 20. Anyway, who cares about her, she, the older sister, can't control that younger sister. At this time, he just quietly tilted his head and touched the man's hair.

The feeling of a cat stealing food.

Then, at the man's command, he picked up the milk next to him and brought it to his mouth.

After being busy like this for a while, Simon turned off the computer, easily picked up Eve's slender body, simply carried her and walked out.

The next day I still got up early.

Today is also the core of this trip to Ukraine, the founding ceremony of the Rivni Free Trade Zone.

The venue was chosen at a conference hall in the city center. Current President Leon Kuchma and other high-level officials from Kiev, who had arrived yesterday, were all present. Simon did not show up, but just watched the whole process of communication in the Westeros system. Dozens of the world's top media were invited to participate in a special ceremony.

In addition to speeches by Kuchma and other high-level government officials, the highlight was an on-site event with 16 people who rushed to sign the agreement at once.

Overall, this is a promotion to Ukraine, of course, smart people know very well that, to be more precise, it is just this area of Rivne Oblast. After all, Eastern European countries have been continuously opening up in various ways since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and even the door opening has caused a lot of confusion. However, none of them has really taken off like the West, and the reasons are varied.

This northwest Ukrainian state, which has risen rapidly in recent years, is an anomaly.

On the surface, the Westeros system has spared no effort to invest in this area, which has also caused neighboring countries such as Belarus, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland and other countries to contact the Westeros system, hoping to follow suit, but the deeper reasons are very... complex.

The key point is the Westeros system's strong control over this area.

This is also the reason why Simon will not rashly invest in other Eastern European countries. After all, Rivne Oblast has achieved this situation after nearly three years of various operational games. He wants to obtain the same control in other places. , the possibility is very low.

After the morning ceremony, there was another grand foundation laying ceremony in the afternoon.

Tinkobayer plans to build its own European manufacturing center in Rivni. In fact, it already has a factory before. This time it will expand the factory to a large factory park with an investment of US$500 million covering an area of 50 hectares similar to the Nokia Campus.

It is planned that once this project is completed, it will directly create 5,000 jobs.

The indirect promotion of the industrial chain is difficult to estimate.

This is certainly just the beginning.

With the establishment of the Rivni Free Trade Zone, import and export tariffs on electronic products, clothing, food and other commodities in this area will be exempted. Coupled with the high-quality business environment that Rivni has become increasingly famous for, it will Bring about another investment boom.

On the other hand, with the strong penetration of the Westeros system into various fields in this region, Simon's control over Rivni and even the entire Rivne Region will not become weaker and weaker as some people expect, but will instead It will only get stronger. Moreover, when a city or a state or county has a vital impact on a country's economy, the influence of those behind the scenes will only grow.

As for other capitals, on the one hand, there is no capital in the world that is stronger than the current Westeros system. On the other hand, the rules here have been set by Simon. If other capitals enter, they must do their own thing honestly. If the business is over, you will definitely be able to return it with a full load, but if you want to reach out in other areas such as politics and military affairs, then there is only one way to go.

"Simon, let me introduce, this is Valery, Valery Pavlovich, currently serving as Minister of the Interior, however, I hope he can go further."

After a lively day, at the evening cocktail party, Leon Kuchma personally introduced a middle-aged man to Simon

Valery Pavlovich, who was about fifty years old and had silver hair, shook hands with Simon warmly: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Westeros."

"Hey, Valery, just call me Simon."

Simon is equally enthusiastic.

Whether it was Leon Kuchma's almost straightforward hint just now or the information he received privately, Simon knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was the new prime minister whom Kuchma had determined to replace Lazarenko.

Speaking of which, the Western Minister of the Interior is mainly responsible for the police system, which is equivalent to the Minister of Public Security that Simon was familiar with in his previous life. By promoting such a person to power, Leon Kuchma obviously has the desire to strengthen his domestic control.

However, even though he introduced the person to Simon, Kuchma obviously had no intention of letting Pavlovich chat with him any more. After a few brief greetings, he waved his hand to signal the other person to go away, and continued to say to Simon: "There is one more thing. Yes, Simon, I plan to re-integrate the domestic natural gas sales network in the second half of the year, are you interested in participating?"

Tymoshenko's success lies in his almost monopoly on Ukraine's highly profitable natural gas sales network in recent years. Moreover, as we all know, Tymoshenko is also Lazarenko's 'money bag'.

By taking down Lazarenko and cutting off the opponent's purse, the politician will completely lose the threat to Kuchma.

A very direct and effective method.

Seeing that Kuchma was still staring at him after he finished speaking, Simon shook his head with a smile and said: "This is no longer necessary. Leon, frankly speaking, this part of the business is too sensitive and is also very important to Ukraine. It is best for you to control it personally. Okay. Of course, if you lack funds to operate, I can help."

Even if Ukraine's natural gas business can generate hundreds of millions in profits every year, Simon still looks down upon it.

Moreover, Simon probably understood that this was a test by Kuchma.

After all, this business is so profitable that it doesn’t require too much investment, and because it involves Russia’s natural gas supply to the entire Europe, it also has special political significance.

If Simon shows too much interest, Kuchma will inevitably become wary of Simon.

What's more, in Simon's view, Ukraine's natural gas business is equivalent to a piece of cheese that attracts rats from all sides. If Simon really wants to intervene, with the strong strength of the Westeros system, other rats who covet this piece of cheese will It is inevitable that it will stop. Even Kuchma himself, even if he is wary, has to accept the joining of Simon as a player.

This situation does not meet Simon's expectations for the Kiev authorities to maintain a state of strife and chaos.

After the inauguration ceremony of the Rivni Free Trade Zone, Simon continued to stay in Ukraine until April 25, going through various industries here step by step, and then set off again, with the next stop being China.
