In view of the layout of Ukraine, Simon has long formulated a recovery strategy. The money invested in this city and even this country must be recovered through various methods to form a cycle. The most important channel is real estate, but now this Both new and old residents of this city have not yet developed the purchasing power for real estate, so we will start with the basic necessities of life that Ukrainian people need most.
So there was this commercial street.
In the 1.5-kilometer-long commercial street in front of you, many of the stores directly belong to the companies in the Westeros system, mainly cinemas, game halls, dance halls, shopping malls and other large-investment projects. The other half also Under the control of the Westeros system, most shops were able to open after receiving loans from the Westeros system specifically to finance this street market. There are also many stores that source their goods from bulk goods in the Westeros system. Comes from wholesale channels.
Not only that, before the commercial street project started, a real estate company affiliated with the Westeros system quietly acquired most of the properties on this street. Except for self-use in projects such as cinemas, most of them were rented out. Therefore, Simon also It can be said that he is the charterer behind this commercial street.
Nowadays, Rivni not only has a group of "high-income people" including the Wei family and the private army. In more than a year, the number of permanent residents has skyrocketed from 220,000 to 510,000. The Rivni are attached to the reactivated Westeros system. Various industries in Nigeria have also developed considerable spending power.
What Simon is doing is to recover the funds invested in the Westeros system as much as possible by controlling the city's food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The way of weak people.
It is not in Simon's interest to keep wealth among the people.
The investment of the Westeros system here can greatly improve the quality of life of many Ukrainian people, but Simon will not let them have too much wealth. The best control state is to encourage people to always be busy for their livelihood, because such people will not have much thought to pursue more rights.
Because of the night, Simon, Charlotte Brenita and the bodyguards behind them walked on this commercial street and did not attract any special attention.
Passing by a hat shop, he noticed that Brenita was hunching her neck slightly in the night wind. Simon gestured to the woman, turned and walked into the shop.
The store is very small, a small rectangular space of about ten square meters. The tall and slender figure who was entertaining a customer turned around when he heard the noise. When he saw the man coming in, his smiling face suddenly froze, as if he had done something wrong. When he was caught on the spot, tears quickly filled his eyes, and he calmly called out: "Simon."
The young female customer who was choosing a hat noticed the shopkeeper's movement and turned around. When she saw Simon, her eyes widened and she was a little unsure. She found that two bodyguards followed and guarded the door, and then she realized that this was really the one. A big shot who appeared on the TV news a few days ago.
However, thinking about the other person's identity, the girl didn't even have the courage to say hello. She put down the hat she had originally chosen and slipped out of the store with her head lowered. She didn't take a deep breath until she reached the street.
Simon Westeros!
It's so scary.
but.
What just happened
like.
Taking another sneak peek into the store, the girl quickly sketched out the outline of what was going on. The big shot must have taken a fancy to the pretty girl who opened the store.
Um.
That's for sure.
Then what.
Do you want to call the police yourself
Uh, bah, bah, bah, you're looking for death.
fine.
I'm not pretty.
However, I feel a little disappointed.
Anyway, it's better to leave quickly.
In any case, I actually met Simon Westeros, and I could brag about it to my family and friends for a while.
In a small hat shop.
Noticing the strange reaction of the girl who opened the shop, Simon recognized it a little and realized that this was Yulia Antonenko, one of the three girls who had been kicked out of the villa in the south of the city.
All kinds of women around him have been passing by in recent years, and most of them Simon doesn't pay much attention to.
However, when Simon decided to clear the three girls out of the villa in the south of the city, he actually did not completely ignore it.
There is something different after all.
The three girls are only fifteen or sixteen years old even now. Not wanting them to fall into disgrace due to family changes, Simon specifically asked Celia Miller to make other arrangements to at least ensure that they reach adulthood at the age of 18.
In the final analysis, it is Simon's instinctive possessiveness.
If you don't want a woman, you won't let anyone get your hands on it.
Celia later specifically mentioned this matter to Simon, saying that she had arranged shops for the families of the three girls in the planned commercial street so that they could be self-reliant. She also specially arranged for someone to look after them secretly. According to Simon's request, Ensure that until the age of 18, Simon then ignored it.
I didn't expect to meet you again tonight.
At this time, in the small shop, the girl who was obviously much thinner was staring at him blankly, tears falling from her beautiful blue eyes. Simon stepped forward, took off his gloves, and held up the The little face gently wiped the girl's tears and said softly: "Stop crying."
It was okay that Simon didn't speak. When he spoke like this, the girl couldn't restrain herself anymore. She threw herself directly into his arms, hugged the man in front of her tightly with her hands, and burst into tears. While crying, she said something vaguely. These were vague words, with deep grievance in his voice.
Charlotte Brenita, who followed Simon into the small shop, looked at the situation in front of her, confused, and just stood quietly next to the man.
Probably because she had accumulated too many grievances, the girl cried for more than ten minutes before she finally calmed down and still hugged Simon tightly, as if someone would disappear as soon as she let go.
Such a movement inevitably alarmed outsiders.
A group of patrolmen in charge of security in the commercial street initially stepped forward cautiously, but were blocked by Simon's two bodyguards. Another group of bodyguards scattered in the dark also appeared immediately, blocking the two patrolmen to prevent their boss from being hit. They did not recognize the people in the store. Girls, however, whatever their boss wants to do in this city, they will only obey.
After learning the identity of a man in the shop, the two patrolmen immediately dropped their guard and became respectful. They did not doubt that the shop was Westeros. It was precisely because of the arrival of this big shot that they were arranged tonight. On duty, even if Westeros is unlikely to appear here, the entire city has greatly increased its alert in recent days, and many unfavorable gangs have been specifically warned that causing trouble in the near future will lead to a dead end.
As for this commercial street that the Westeros system has worked hard to build, the number of police officers on daily patrols has tripled.
However, even if Westeros likes a girl, it is not always good to have an abortion in front of people on the street.
After some exchanges, one of the patrol officers kindly reminded us that it would be best to close the store.
It's better not to attract crowds.
A bodyguard inside the door spoke to Simon, and after getting permission, he pulled down the rolling shutter door. The shop suddenly became the only closed shop around the street, and it couldn't help but become more conspicuous, especially because there were a few obvious figures. The tough bodyguard and two patrol policemen were locked out.
Fortunately, when they see the police, passers-by no longer suspect anything.
Because of the strict control of the Westeros system, compared to other chaotic cities in Ukraine, Rivni can almost be described as staying open at night, and passers-by on the pedestrian street do not believe that there will be any big conflicts here.
There was only a high stool for temporary rest in the small shop. When Yulia stopped crying, Simon hugged her and sat down on the stool next to her. He held the kitten-like girl in his arms and gently comforted her. Caressing gently.
Feeling the man's tenderness, Yulia slowly stopped crying but still couldn't suppress her sobbing. She looked up and begged: "Simon, please, please let my dad go. He, ugh, he is in prison very badly." It’s not easy, last time, I got beaten last time.”
Seeing the girl crying again while talking, Simon wiped her face and said, "Okay, don't cry. Tomorrow, um, I'll have someone pick your father out later."
As he spoke, he looked at a bodyguard guarding the door and said directly: "Call Smirnov and ask him to release all three Yulia's fathers. If there are other relatives who do the same, Just tonight.”
The bodyguard leaders following Simon were not his closest confidants, Ken Dixon and Neil Bennett, but they also knew many things about his boss. Hearing this, he nodded without asking any questions, opened the rolling shutter door and left the shop. .
The original thunderous method was to ensure that the layout of the Westeros system in Rivne Oblast would not be destroyed to the greatest extent, and the purpose has been achieved. If you don't meet her by chance today, forget about it. If you do, she is the woman you once were. Some people are no longer relevant, so let go of her.
Yulia Antonenko, who was still hugging Simon tightly, felt a little embarrassed for a moment when the man told her to release all the relatives of the three girls.
In a girl's mind, how can a person who goes to jail come out so easily
However, no matter whether things could work out or not, Yulia could not help but hug Simon tighter again.
After Simon gave his instructions, he felt the force on his waist increase again. He patted the girl's back gently and asked, "It's so late, why are you the only one here?"
Yulia timidly glanced at Simon's expression and whispered: "My sister's child has been sick recently and is in the hospital. Mom has to help take care of it."
The girl said, feeling a little lucky in her heart.
If she hadn't needed to visit the store, she might not have met him.
A few days ago, she saw Simon coming to Rivni again on TV. She wanted to run to the villa in the south of the city several times, but she just remembered Ms. Miller's warning and didn't dare to do so. After their father's accident, they actually had a pretty good life because of this small shop. If they rashly went to the villa in the south of the city and made a mistake and lost the shop, the family would not know how to survive.
Simon nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
But Yulia couldn't help it, pouring beans out of a bamboo tube: "My sister's husband used to work in the city government, because... his job was gone, he divorced my sister, and smuggled himself to Poland, so my sister had to move back with us. Stay." The girl said, then raised her head and glanced at Simon, and said in a strange way: "Simon, my sister is also very beautiful."
"Oh, I must meet you when you have time," Simon said with a smile, and then asked: "How are the two of them doing recently?"
Of course Yulia knew who the other two Simon was talking about. She actually didn't want to mention it, so she still said: "It's very good. Besides, we are all good and miss you very much." After saying this, the girl raised her head again. She looked at the man in front of her hopefully: "Simon, do you still want me? I can be your maid and clean the house every day. I don't need to be like Nana and the others. Can you let me come back to you?"
Simon didn't answer the question. Seeing that the girl had completely recovered, he supported her slender body and said, "I'm shopping, come look around with me."
The man didn't respond, and Yulia realized that some things were difficult to go back to.
After all, I don’t want to give up easily.
When the three girls were cleared out of the Chengnan villa, she was the one who reacted the most violently. She even locked herself in the room for a time. Simon didn't let go, and she didn't give up. She got up obediently, her arm still tightly wrapped around Simon's. His arm, no matter what, would not let go even if he beat and scolded him severely.
If she couldn't go back to the days when she was like a princess in the villa in the south of the city, even if she died, she would be fine.
After getting up, she noticed Charlotte Brenita who was still standing next to her awkwardly. The girl looked at the other person quickly, and her eyes suddenly became more hostile. However, after hearing the man's introduction, she immediately responded obediently. Greet each other in English.
The purpose of entering this small shop was to choose a hat for Charlotte Brenita. Simon did not forget this. He looked around, selected a white knitted hat on the shelf on one side and handed it to the woman, saying: " Try it on, or if you like something else, you can choose it yourself.”
Charlotte Brenita is still confused until now. She is sure that Westeros knows the girl hanging on his arm at this time, but she just doesn't understand what happened.
Seeing the man handing over a hat, she used to know how to use street stall-level clothing, shoes and hats, but now she was not picky and put it on casually. She subconsciously glanced at the fitting mirror on the wall, wearing an ascetic black windbreaker. , paired with a white knitted hat, immediately gave her a softer atmosphere, which was not bad.
When Yulia saw Simon choosing a hat for the woman in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous. She diligently helped Simon choose a men's hat. The simple baseball cap actually had some small thoughts, mainly because she didn't want to be around him. The man was recognized by someone else.
After picking their hats, the three of them walked out of the store.
Yulia seemed completely indifferent to the small shop behind her, but Simon ordered the bodyguards to lock the rolling shutter door, and took the initiative to greet the remaining patrolman who had just come up to him, and learned that the other patrolman had already left. Notifying their boss and what Simon had just ordered, he didn't say anything.
Originally, I wanted to look around in a low-key manner.
After meeting the girl next to him, and what he had just ordered, he would definitely not stop later.
But it doesn't matter.
Continuing forward, approaching the center of the commercial street, the surrounding area became more and more lively, and there was a long queue in front of a dance hall. Simon did not join in the fun, but walked into a nearby game hall that was also crowded with people.
