"We have selected a plot of land on the west bank of the Dnieper River in northern Kiev, 30 kilometers away from the city, with a preliminary planning of 50 square kilometers. Mr. Prime Minister also agreed to identify this new military theme park as a national support project and provide the most favorable price Policy support. Alec, and Andre, since you are here, I will extend an invitation to both of you at the same time. As long as you agree to switch jobs, in addition to generous salary, I can also give you certain shares. Let's work together. Kiev is replicating a large resort and entertainment center. You should understand that Kiev’s advantages are completely unmatched by Rivne Oblast.”
Hot spring resort, inside the club box.
After patiently listening to Tymoshenko's talk, Andrei Vodmirka and Alexander Nagiev looked at each other, and Nagiev asked: "Yuliya, I'm curious, are you Where do the funds come from? For such a large-scale military theme park that is more than twice the size of Rivne, regardless of all other issues, just the construction funds, the most conservative estimate is more than 50 million US dollars."
As the economy continues to deteriorate, the first-generation Ukrainian currency issued in 1991 has become almost like waste paper. The Kiev authorities are planning another currency reform, which is expected to be issued in the second half of the year. For the upper echelons of this country, it involves business issues, and many people I have become accustomed to using currency units such as US dollars and pounds sterling directly.
Simon has invested 30 million US dollars in the military theme park in Rivne Oblast. Tymoshenko wants to build a military theme park on the outskirts of Kiev that is more expensive than Rivne Oblast in all aspects and is more than twice the size of this place. Paradise, $50 million, is indeed an extremely conservative estimate.
It is now rumored that Tymoshenko, with the support of Lazarenko, controls the entire natural gas business in Ukraine. It is even said that the scale of the business he controls is equivalent to one-fifth of Ukraine’s GDP. In fact, if you do not count those nominal assets , Tymoshenko does not have much funds in his hands, and even importing natural gas from Russia requires credit.
In fact, Tymoshenko’s rise to prominence was too short.
If this strong woman can operate for ten or twenty years, she may be able to reach a real net worth of tens of billions of dollars. Limited to the size of Ukraine's own economy, tens of billions of dollars is also the wealth ceiling for the country's richest people. But now, let alone tens of billions, Tymoshenko actually doesn’t even have billions. After all, the natural gas queen is just a second-rate dealer who wholesales natural gas from Russia through administrative monopoly and sells it to all parts of Ukraine, rather than those who really control it. Russian oligarch with vast oil and gas fields.
This is actually why Tymoshenko is interested in a 'small business' like a military theme park.
As for the US$50 million in cash, it is impossible for Tymoshenko to get it easily.
Yulia Tymoshenko did not expect that Nagiyev directly asked the key point, but her expression was not flawless at all, and said: "I have contacted several overseas banks. In view of the military theme park here in Rivne Oblast, Success, they are all very interested in this project, and there is no big problem with funding.”
Andrei Vodmirka asked again: "Yuliya, have you ever considered cooperating with Simon?"
Hearing this question, Tymoshenko's eyes flashed with some haze, and he quickly regained his composure, shaking his head and saying: "The Kiev project should conflict with Mr. Westeros' plan, and I still prefer to do it myself."
In fact, of course I considered working with Westeros.
Tymoshenko has previously contacted Simon's Ukrainian affairs representative Celia Miller. Going a little further, this Ukrainian strong woman has made several attempts to establish contact with the young super-rich man in the past two years. The Zalenko Group all hopes to board the big ship of the Westeros system, but unfortunately the other party has always reacted negatively. In addition to the Westeros system's intensive cultivation in the Rivne Oblast, the Kiev authorities only maintain close ties with the Kuchma system. connect.
Just like the St. Petersburg Gang that has not yet taken shape in Russia, both President Leon Kuchma and Prime Minister Pavlo Lazarenko belong to the Petrovsk Gang in Ukraine, including Tymoshenko. Many Ukrainian political and business oligarchs come from Petrovsk Oblast in eastern Ukraine.
However, unlike the St. Petersburg gang, which was tightly controlled by a certain emperor for 20 years, after Leon Kuchma took power in 1994, the Petrovsk gang began to split within itself. Although Kuchma promoted Lazarenko to prime minister last month, this was only the result of a game between all parties. There are already deep rifts among various factions within the Petrovsk Gang.
With a few simple questions, Andre and Alexander already understood the general outline of the matter.
This 'confidante' of the current Prime Minister Lazarenko must have tried to cooperate with the Westeros system, but was rejected, so he quietly came to poach people. As for the military theme park project outside Kiev, there is obviously nothing but ideas.
The meeting tonight was just to deal with each other, and the two of them had no intention of changing jobs.
Now, there is no interest at all.
Where is the theme park that is so easy to build? Take the Rivne Oblast for example. Although it is just a very rough military theme park, from the initial planning, to the project construction, to the marketing before and after the opening, to the current Every step of the trial operation is full of various methods. It can be said that it refers to the theme park operation experience accumulated by Hollywood for decades.
The same is true even for the three joint integrated resort entertainment centers now. Although this place is just a little sparrow in front of those world-class entertainment centers, it is also a little sparrow with all the internal organs.
If someone thinks that opening up a piece of land and adding a bunch of airplanes and tanks can turn it into a military theme park that makes a lot of money every day, or choose a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to build a house and turn it into a holiday center, the result will only be that a large amount of money will be burned. It’s a mess. Speaking of which, such messes can be found all over the world.
Because there are always people who think things too simply.
Just like the military theme park here, during the planning stage, under the guidance of Daenerys Entertainment’s consulting team responsible for the theme park business, everyone repeatedly considered how to give visitors an immersive military experience in detail, rather than just browsing a museum. Just like looking at the flowers, there are also how to make tourists stay in the park for more time, how to increase the return rate of tourists for second visits, and so on.
Subsequent operations include how to carry out precise marketing in order to obtain the most potential customers at the lowest cost, how to make it easier for tourists to arrive in Rivne Oblast, how to ensure safety to the greatest extent possible, and so on.
Even with the mature experience provided by the Westeros system from the Universal Studios team, a large number of tedious adjustments in details must still be made according to local conditions to finally form a complete and effective set of operations suitable for the military theme park in Rivne Oblast. system, and in the current trial operation stage, the theme park has reached a monthly revenue of 2 million.
Doing any business well is not an easy task.
It was through personally participating in the entire process of this project from its initial planning to its initial success that Andre and Alexander strengthened their determination to follow a certain young boss, because both of them understood that only in such a vibrant company Only within an efficient business system can they go further.
With this in mind, Alexander stopped talking nonsense and shook his head at Tymoshenko who looked expectant. "I'm sorry, Yulia, I won't accept your invitation."
Tymoshenko subconsciously looked at Andrei Vodmirka.
Andre also shook his head.
Tymoshenko did not give up immediately: "You two, there is no need to refuse like this. You can think about it seriously and give me a reply in a few days."
"No need."
Alexander shook his head again, and simply stood up, as if to see off a guest, and stretched out his hand to Tymoshenko: "Now that you are here, Yulia, you can spend a few days in Rivne Oblast, although Andre and I Lie doesn’t plan to change jobs to work for you, but if you have any questions, you can contact me at any time.”
Seeing the two people getting up one after another, Tymoshenko had no choice but to stand up from the sofa, reluctantly shook hands with the two of them again, but couldn't hold it back, and finally said: "Alec, Andrei, I still hope that you two Think about it again, this is Ukraine, we are all Ukrainians, aren’t we?”
Alexander and Andre were both stunned when they heard this. They didn't realize for a moment whether the words of the woman in front of them had other meanings, or was it just pure innocence
After seeing off Tymoshenko, the two returned to the box and sat down.
Andre poured a glass of red wine for each of them, handed a glass to Alexander, sat on the sofa and asked, "What do you think of this incident just now?"
Alexander Nagiyev took the red wine and shook his head: "This is not something we need to consider. However, I will write a report to inform Celia about this matter."
Andre nodded in approval.
The two of them are still far away from the core of the Westeros system in Rivne State. Although the theme park and resort business are gradually getting on the right track, they still want to attract the attention of the aloof young man. It may be necessary to show your presence, so that you can report it in a timely manner and show your loyalty.
After taking a sip of red wine, Alexander asked another question: "That Banshikov hasn't caused any trouble recently, has he?"
"No, very honest."
Having said this, Andre still smiled a little bitterly.
The two originally selected girls for their bosses, but they did not expect that things would soon go wrong. One of the girls, Galina Banshikova's father, went crazy with alcohol when the girl came home and beat the girl, her mother and sister. .
It is actually nothing like a man beating his wife and children. The key point is that if someone knows about this matter, they will probably think that they do not handle the details well.
In fact, I don’t really blame the two of them.
Since the six girls were accepted by their boss, they actually wanted to continue the arrangement. They only mentioned it occasionally when chatting with Sergei Komorov. The oldest core member of the Westeros system in the Rivne region reminded They don't need to do that because someone will be responsible.
The two of them immediately thought of the six families behind the first six girls in Chengnan Villa.
So I decided to wait and see for the time being.
Unexpectedly, after a short period of waiting, trouble would arise.
The two of them were also decisive. After getting the news about Eve Besonoskova, they decisively caught the guy who was not even sober from the wine. At first, they thought of digging a hole and burying him. After all, they could only do it. Think about it, even though the current situation in Ukraine is very chaotic, and there are many things that disappear from the world, some methods cannot be used easily until the end.
If you only dig holes to bury people, it will look very low-level.
After some deliberation, they immediately learned that the mother and daughter had been taken to the hot spring manor. The two simply forced Banshikov to sign the divorce agreement. For this, they even broke one of the other's legs, and in the end they were completely legally After cutting off the contact between the other party and the mother and daughter, after a lot of tossing, Maxim Banshikov, who had no backbone in the first place, completely surrendered.
It's certainly not over yet.
Maxim Banshikov is a low-level gangster who hangs out at the bottom of Rivni. He is not even a gangster. After all, the underground forces here in Rivne Oblast are basically strictly controlled by the Westeros system. In order to avoid further trouble, the two simply placed Banshikov at the hot spring resort, and very cleverly recruited several of the other party's 'good buddies'.
In today's Rivne Region, as long as they can establish a relationship with the Westeros system, even the most peripheral ones are what many people dream of, let alone the increasingly famous hot spring resorts. Even with the qualifications of those little gangsters They could only do some errands and do odd jobs, which was enough, so they obeyed Andrei Vodmirka, who gave them their jobs.
Then comes the last step, let this group of gangsters take a good look at Banshikov. If there is no problem, they can always be popular here, and maybe they can get ahead. Once something goes wrong, they will all be in bad luck. In order to avoid Unfortunately, they also have the right to make certain arrangements in advance.
That's it.
Neither Andre nor Alexander concealed the fact that the big boss was not qualified to contact him directly, so they took the initiative to submit the matter to Celia Miller.
Unexpectedly, I got a direct reply from the big boss very quickly.
The general idea is that the two of them handled the situation well, but there was no need to add any unnecessary extravagance. This is obviously in line with Komorov's reminder. It is obvious that they don't need to pay attention to other girls' families and just pay attention to this one.
In fact, both of them felt sorry for Banshikov.
If this guy hadn't come out like this, he might have been able to rise to the top with his daughter, but the other party obviously started doing stupid things before Westeros could complete some background checks, and he could only end up being dealt with by the two of them. , obviously there will be no chance in the future.
Considering the big boss's original arrangement for the six girls' families, it can be said to be very generous, but at the same time, there is not much room for error. If you make a mistake last time, you will basically be abandoned, just like three of the six families. Even if the other three girls were later resettled, those three families are just the most ordinary civilians in Rivne Oblast, living a worry-free life and trying to get ahead. But it is no longer possible.
Maxim Banshikov used up an opportunity to make a mistake in advance before he had a chance to make a move, and then there would be no more mistakes.
