Simon once again looked at Marta Beknac, who was leaning at his feet and looking expectantly, but shook his head and said: "I advise you not to want to be Tymoshenko. What will happen to her next will not be good."
Marta didn't expect such a sudden turn, her beautiful dark blue eyes widened slightly, and her mind was racing.
Yulia Tymoshenko can be said to be the most beautiful woman in Ukraine in recent years. Not only has she quickly created her own business empire, but she also has a big backer like Lazarenko. In her opinion, this is the pinnacle of a woman.
What does it mean to end badly
Is the man in front of me finally going to take action in Ukraine’s energy sector
As the actual housekeeper of the hot spring manor, in addition to completing her work seriously, Marta also quietly pays attention to many things.
As the Rivne Gang becomes more and more powerful, many senior leaders of the Rivne Gang hope to expand further. Marta is still just a small figure and cannot see much of the inside story of the high-level games in Ukraine, but she also understands that the current situation in Ukraine , the most profitable one is undoubtedly the natural gas industry controlled by Tymoshenko.
Because this is not only a daily necessity for Ukrainian people, but also Ukraine’s natural gas pipelines directly supply Western Europe.
There is a lot of room for maneuver.
Therefore, you can probably imagine how coveted other capital forces are for this piece of fat. Even if the Rovno Gang, which is backed by the Westeros system, wants to take action, Marta is not surprised at all.
Moreover, Marta suddenly remembered the assassination that happened a few days ago.
Hmm... assassination
She didn't know where her thoughts went, but a chill ran down Marta's spine.
Simon just said this without any further explanation. As for what the girl was thinking, he didn't care.
Lazarenko's downfall next year and Tymoshenko's rapid loss of power, as well as the ups and downs of this undeniable strong woman in Ukrainian politics in the memory, are ultimately just one sentence, the winner is the winner and the loser is the loser.
It is true that Lazarenko is greedy and unscrupulous, but it does not mean that the Kuchma family is restrained, let alone the Donetsk gang who have recently resorted to public assassination methods.
At the end of the day, losers get nothing.
Of course, when Simon talked to Marta about Tymoshenko at this time, he had a somewhat prophetic mentality.
Probably not many people would think that the currently prosperous Tymoshenko will suddenly fall to the bottom in the next few years. At her peak, this natural gas princess nominally accounted for 20% of Ukraine's GDP. Even if there is a lot of water in it, it can be seen that Tymoshenko's business empire is huge relative to the country of Ukraine.
With the fall of Lazarenko, Tymoshenko was quickly stripped of everything except the assets transferred overseas. When the assets were later disclosed during the Ukrainian election campaign, Tymoshenko’s assets were equivalent to only a few hundred dollars. , not even a piece of real estate.
Of course this is a joke.
Because Tymoshenko's daughter got married in the UK during the same period, it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars just to rent the venue.
However, the public information can conclusively prove that this strong woman’s personal property in Ukraine has been basically wiped out.
In Simon's view, this is actually because even though Tymoshenko was imprisoned, he never immigrated overseas like many oligarchs in Russia or Ukraine. After all, those oligarchs who successfully immigrated often had huge business empires at home and were considered 'serious businessmen'. ', and can also bring many benefits such as taxation and investment to immigrant countries, such as Abu.
As for Tymoshenko, just like Lazarenko, his foundation has been completely destroyed. Once he emigrates, he will be a fat sheep in the eyes of overseas authorities.
Since it is a fat sheep, it will not be slaughtered until it is slaughtered.
Lazarenko once fled to the United States, originally hoping to obtain political asylum. After all, this Ukrainian high-ranking official had done a lot of 'good things' for Western donors during his tenure. However, what greeted him was jail time and a huge sum of money. He was fined, and in the end not only did he go to jail, but most of the wealth he had accumulated over the years was taken away by the U.S. government.
Similarly, if Tymoshenko leaves, he will end up in the same way.
Thinking about this randomly, Simon once again stretched out his hand to hold up Marta's delicate face: "It's a pity that the pool in Ukraine is too small, and it's not the right time. Otherwise, you still have a good chance of becoming the second Chen Qing." of."
Of course, Marta didn't know who Chen Qing was. From the name, she was Chinese.
After a pause, the girl spoke at the right time: "Boss, can I leave with you? Leave Ukraine?"
"If you leave, who will help me take care of this place?"
Marta looked at the smile on Simon's lips, turned her head and rubbed her face against the man's hand, looking more and more like a cat: "Eve, and Nata, they can all do it."
"But they are not as good as you. Besides, you also liked to rush to do things before, didn't you?"
Marta said pitifully: "Boss, I was wrong."
This posture looks a little more like Chen Qing.
Simon is not surprised either.
There are only a few types of people's personalities. When the Westeros family recruits maids, they have corresponding personality tests and screenings. Although most of them have a calm and obedient personality like Eve, there is also a lack of ambition that Simon prefers. Type of erection.
Of course, not much.
Otherwise, even if the world is not in chaos, the Westeros family will be in chaos.
Squeezing the woman's delicate face, Simon said: "You are 24 years old this year. Please stay here for two years. Help me take a good look at this place and continue to improve yourself by the way. In addition, what was your previous salary?"
"$2,000."
"Tell Eve tomorrow that your salary will be raised to the same level as hers. This is a lot of money in Ukraine. You can try to do something within the scope of your operation. In two years, let me see Your change.”
"Boss, I will work hard."
Marta nodded quickly. She had her own ambitions, but she was also patient. Being able to get Simon's promise had exceeded her expectations. With such a guarantee, the girl straightened up slightly, and a pair of delicate hands tested Stretching towards Simon's waist.
Simon held it down, shook his head and said: "It's very late, go to bed, I want to rest too."
"Boss, can I go up and accompany you?"
"Need not."
Simon said as he stood up, followed by Marta, and they left the living room together.
The hall separated, and Simon went upstairs and entered his master bedroom. Only a few warm yellow wall lamps were lit here. In the dim light, three figures were sitting on the sofa in the living room like three quails. Seeing Simon come in, Stand up together.
Simon looked around and looked at Galina, who looked guilty and flattering. He probably understood something. He just smiled and motioned towards the bedroom: "Come here."
Said and entered the bedroom.
The next day is Monday, July 22nd.
The schedule remained the same and Simon did not leave.
In the morning, I visited several factories in succession, focusing on the furniture of the increasingly large Oldek Company.
Over the past two years, in addition to IKEA, the furniture factory owned by Oldeker Company has also won over many other customers. Now, several carloads of furniture are shipped to various parts of Europe every day.
In addition, the originally established private brand Catalina Home Furnishings also experienced some changes. After Melisandre went on the market, Sophia began to develop the luxury home furnishing industry, so she brought Catalina Furniture, which focuses on hand-made customization, under Melisandre's banner. After some packaging, the current development is very good.
According to the original plan, Oldeke's team is still planning its own affordable home brand. This was the original positioning of Katarina. Since it was taken away by Melisandre, she could only develop other ones.
Furniture production is also an important part of Sergei Komorov's "light industrial complex" yesterday.
Even though OEM is currently the main focus, just like in China, many industries started with OEM. The key is not to be content with your OEM position all the time.
At noon there was another banquet and entertainment.
afternoon.
Relaxing and relaxing for a short period of time actually involves some serious things that are not humane to outsiders.
In a shooting range in the military theme park that had been cleared of outsiders, three middle-aged men who looked to be in their forties were brought in. At first glance, they saw a young man in camouflage uniforms carrying an exaggerated weapon. The big gun, standing like a javelin, was carried on the shoulders, and the deafening sound of bang bang bang sounded in the air very rhythmically.
Even if the three people who had received strict military training saw that the other party's shooting method was neither scientific nor reasonable, the more they could handle such an anti-equipment heavy sniper weighing more than ten kilograms with strong recoil so easily, the more People like them who understand the difficulty are even more shocked.
When the three of them came closer, Simon happened to finish a box of magazines, but he ignored them. Without even looking at them, he changed the magazine and continued.
The shocking sound of gunfire soon erupted in the air again.
After a while, a middle-aged man with slightly longer hair among the three finally looked around with obvious uneasiness.
In the shooting range, in addition to the young man who was playing heavy sniping, the three of them, and two others he also knew, Alexander Nagiyev and Andrei Vodmirka, there were as many as 12 others standing far and near. security personnel. The middle-aged man quietly examined himself and realized that if he made any changes, whether he wanted to escape or... there would be no possibility of success.
Simon continued to punch two magazines unhurriedly, then stopped and walked to a rest area not far away.
Taking the towel handed over by Alexander himself and wiping his sweat, Simon sat down on a bench in the rest area and finally looked at the three people who had followed him. The other two middle-aged people just glanced at him lightly, and finally locked their eyes on The long-haired middle-aged man also waved his hand to Alexander and Andre beside him, and said: "You go ahead and do your work."
Neither Andrei Vodmilka nor Alexander Nagiyev knew the identities of the three middle-aged men, but after some observation, they were able to roughly guess, so they quietly remembered their faces.
After Andre and the two left, the only person who could still hear the conversation around Simon was Neil Bennett, who was standing behind him, and the other bodyguards were also standing at a considerable distance away.
The long-haired middle-aged man quietly looked at it again, and found sadly that he still had no chance.
After sending Andre and the two away, Simon crossed his legs and leaned on the back of a simple wooden bench. He picked up a folder on the table and spent a few minutes carefully flipping through it. He looked up again. Although the Ukrainian side The weather was obviously not hot, and the handsome middle-aged man with long hair almost to his shoulders and a bit of vicissitudes of life that was very attractive to women was already sweating profusely.
"Victor Ilenev, that's your real name, right?"
The middle-aged man paused and nodded slightly.
Simon tapped his fingertips on the folder on his lap and continued to stare at the other person: "Do you know why I asked you to come here today?"
The middle-aged man's sweat dripped from his chin. He was silent for a moment, and finally knelt on the ground with a plop.
The other two people had already sensed that today's meeting was unusual. Seeing Victor Elenev acting like this, they still didn't understand that something must have happened.
The three of them are all small heads of the Westeros family's private intelligence network in Ukraine. Due to the flat team structure, the three of them are not subordinate to each other and are responsible for different affairs. The reason why they were called together is mainly because the three of them are mutually responsible. We know each other not only as former KGB colleagues, but also as very good friends in private.
It was because of this that they were recruited by the Westeros family together.
The other two people didn't expect that their former friend seemed to have messed up something, and it might even implicate them.
Simon, who was sitting on the simple bench, still had a casual posture, but his face gradually became colder. He lowered his gaze slightly and stared at the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground: "Not to mention your future retirement benefits and the high benefits your family will enjoy. It's just the most basic salary. What I give you is equivalent to dozens of times what you paid when you were working in the KGB. In any country in the world, your income would belong to the elite class. I am a person who believes that you get as much as you want. You must pay as much as you want. By giving you so much, whether you are willing or not, we are equivalent to making a contract. Not only your loyalty, but also your life, when it is time to pay for me, you all need to have the consciousness to give up. Wei Kedo, do you agree with what I said?"
Victor Elenev, who was kneeling on the ground, just lowered his head and remained silent, not daring to look at Simon, and his body was trembling slightly.
Simon did not wait for the answer, nor did he ask further questions, and continued: "Actually, what you did doesn't seem like much to me. After all, your mission is to maintain contact with the Ukrainian gangs in Western Europe. It is understandable to get involved in related matters. Occasionally, Getting some extra money from it is nothing. One of your biggest mistakes is concealment. You even dared to kill a comrade in your team who disagreed with you for this. The other is to defraud activity funds. On the outskirts of Rivni Build a factory, a drug-making factory, oh, Victor, why do you think you can hide it from me when you do this kind of thing in Rivne Oblast?"
When Simon said this, the other two people standing next to Victor Elenev also understood, and they all looked at their former friend with complicated expressions.
Things are actually not complicated.
The team led by Victor Elenev was mainly responsible for the Ukrainian gang secrets that Simon had planted in Western Europe. As time went by, they inevitably discovered 'business opportunities', so they recruited from the strong teaching staff Simon recruited for the Rivni West City School. Two top chemists were found, plus the House of Westeros provided funding for the activities of these intelligence teams.
What follows is a 'Breaking Bad' remake.
In fact, all of Lao Bai's ridiculous stories are based on real cases.
In Eastern Europe in the 1990s, due to the disintegration of the Soviet Union, a large number of top elites from all walks of life were living in poverty. Even if a group of them were poached by countries around the world, they were still a relatively small number, so some of them became recruits for gangs. Object, coupled with the massive KGB system that also collapsed.
It can be said that compared to the weak-legged people in Latin America, the gangs in Eastern Europe are definitely a group of people with the highest cultural quality and professional quality in the world, and they are also engaged in a group of 'businesses' with very high technical content.
After Simon finished speaking, he looked at Victor Elenev who had resigned himself to his fate on the ground, said no more, and stood up to leave.
Simon didn't know what happened next.
Neil Bennett waited for his boss to go away, took out a pistol and threw it in front of Victor, saying: "Go in peace, your death will be treated as a death in the line of duty, and your family will receive pensions and other due benefits." .”
Victor Elenev looked at the powerful 7.62mm Tokarev pistol on the ground. After a moment, his body stopped shaking and he reached out to pick up the pistol. He finally raised his head and turned to look both ways: "Yuri , Boris, help take care of Elena and the children, thank you."
After saying this, this middle-aged man who was once a KGB elite simply pointed the gun at his temple and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Neil made it very clear and conditional.
If you accept your fate, everything will be fine.
If he was unwilling, he would still not be alive today, but his family would not be able to receive any pension, and they would even be punished by sitting together.
boom-
A gunshot rang out in the empty field, and the body with its head broken and splattered with blood fell to the ground like a torn sack.
Neil Bennett looked at the expressions of the other two people, and said after a moment: "From today on, your two teams will no longer be responsible for the previous work. First, they will take over the stall left by Elenev, and then integrate Luo For the underground forces in the Funo region, what Elenev left behind will be the source of funds for your future activities, but you can only get half of it, and someone will take over the remaining half."
Then he picked up another folder from the long table next to him and handed it to the two of them: "Here are the details of how to do it. That's it for now. You can leave."
The middle-aged man whose full name was Yuri Yagusevsky reached out and took the folder. After hearing what Neil said, he looked at the body on the ground and then turned to Neil: "Mr. Bennett, we can take Vic Bring more to his family?”
Neil shook his head: "Someone will send him back."
After hearing this, the two of them said no more, turned and walked outside the shooting range.
When the three of them arrived, they drove three cars over. When they arrived at the parking lot, they looked at Victor Ilenev's imported Mercedes-Benz, which was obviously a higher-end car than the two of them. They felt sad. The two middle-aged people Everyone first drove their own cars out of the military theme park until they approached the city of Rivni, when they saw the car in front of them stopped, and another middle-aged man named Boris Orlevich also stopped.
After getting off the car, we walked to the roadside together and each lit a cigarette.
Yuri Yagusevsky opened the folder first, and while flipping through it, he said, "Do you know about this?"
Boris Orlevich paused, and then nodded after a moment. He and Elenev had similar tasks. They were both abroad, and the contact between the two was more frequent: "I was in France last week. I received a call from Victor, saying that he wanted to talk to me about something, and that he wanted to hook you up." With that said, Orlevich asked: "Yuri, what about you?"
Yagusevsky's expression changed, and he finally smiled bitterly: "If I had known, I would have stopped him from doing this."
Yagusevsky knew more about this.
Compared with the other two people whose affairs were overseas, Yagusevsky was responsible for monitoring Rivni. How could Elenev's little actions be hidden from him? In fact, Yagusevsky also had the opportunity to participate at the beginning, but he kept an eye out and chose to watch temporarily, wanting to see the reaction of a certain boss behind the scenes.
Obviously, this temporary onlooker saved his life, otherwise he and Victor would have swallowed guns together on the shooting range today.
Orlevich did not ask further questions, took a deep drag on his cigarette, waited for Yagusevsky to flip through the document for a while, and then said: "Tell me, what does that... want us to do?"
Yagusevsky said: "He originally did not want large-scale gang organizations to appear in Rivne Oblast. Now, he probably understands the reality. This is the case throughout Eastern Europe. Rivne cannot stay out of the matter, so he simply let us If you can’t stop it, then control it.”
Orlevich was silent for another moment, then asked: "Do you want to do this?"
Yagusevsky raised his head and glanced at him: "Do we have a choice?"
Orlevich's eyes flashed, and he nodded slightly: "Yes, we are probably the most suitable candidates."
"Actually, this is not bad. Even if we can only get half of it, we can accumulate a fortune in the future."
Orlevich nodded and couldn't help but said: "Tell me, Yuri, where is the other half? That one... probably doesn't like it, after all, the money is not very clean?"
"Ever hunted?"
"Um?"
"If a hunting dog is not fed, it will not be able to run or catch prey. If it is fed, it will not catch prey. It is most ferocious when it is half hungry and half full."
Orlevich, who had just taken a puff of cigarette, almost choked, and then smiled bitterly.
This metaphor is so apt that it is impossible to refute it.
These things analyzed by Yagusevsky are indeed Simon's intentions.
Today's Eastern Europe is experiencing social unrest and gangs are rampant.
Simon initially hoped that things would be different here in Rivne Oblast. Small gangs could not be eradicated, but there could not be large-scale organized gangs like those in other regions.
However, I gradually discovered that this kind of thing cannot be prevented at all.
After the local gangs in Rivne were strictly suppressed by the military and police systems strictly controlled by the Westeros system, because the oil and water here is so rich, there will always be local or foreign gangs springing up like mushrooms after a rain, and, together with People like Victor Elenev were involved in some hugely profitable businesses.
Finally decided that it would be better to block than to open up.
Since it could not be prevented, Simon changed his plan and planned to directly take the underground forces in Rivne Oblast into his own hands.
The reason why I came forward in person today was to give the two selected people a clear hint that they would be directly responsible to Simon personally from now on, and that he could take away Victor Elenev’s life at any time, Yagushevs The same goes for the two of them.
