#1014 This City (4)

Because of the scattered lakes in the south of Rivni City, it used to be a gathering place for the powerful and wealthy. This tendency has become more obvious in the past two years.

Early the next morning, Vladimir Korkoshko woke up from a villa of the Korkoshko family in the south of the city. It was just over five in the morning, and he was 51 years old. As a young man, his sleep begins to decrease. At the same time, his wife wakes up to prepare breakfast. Korkoshko is jogging in the gym. He is not too keen on exercise, and he is too busy in his daily life, and he cannot care too much about his body. To stay healthy.

After exercising for half an hour, he came to the living room at six o'clock. The housemaid delivered today's newspaper, and at the same time helped him turn on the TV, and slowly learned about various current events that happened today.

Seven o'clock, breakfast time.

The two lazy sons who were brought back by him last night were sent by his wife to wake him up. Seeing the second son came to the restaurant shirtless, and touched the butt of the beautiful maid at home, he couldn't help but stare at him angrily. , Kirill Korkoshko felt his father's gaze, sobered up instantly, remembered something, showed a mocking expression, turned around and ran upstairs again, put on a coat, and then returned to the restaurant.

Listening to his mother's talk about making him wear more clothes every day while sharing meals for himself, he pretended to be a wooden man, picked up the cutlery and started eating.

Vladimir was drinking the sweet soup, but he talked about business again, and asked his eldest son Nicholas, who was a little right at home: "What happened to those TV sets you talked about last night, I remember you before Don't do this?"

Nicholas said: "The Chinese side, um, also from Simon, took the initiative to help us arrange the arrangement. Alexander said that she was a woman Simon valued very much in China, including the previous amber business, we did not expect to be able to sell so much at first. The good price was also introduced by the woman, otherwise it would definitely be tricked."

Vladimir frowned slightly: "Women?"

Kirill, who was burying his head in eating, said at this time: "Dad, don't you know that there are some women around Simon who are very powerful, that, ABCD, their net worth is hundreds of millions of billions of dollars, the Chinese one, um, The name is Chen Qing, and she is also very good. Alexander said that she is in charge of overseeing a major corporate listing project that Cersei Capital cooperates with the Chinese government."

Vladimir nodded slightly, but immediately warned: "For these people, remember, cooperation is okay, and don't have any thoughts."

"Hey, how dare we, there's no shortage of them anyway."

The Korkoshkovs who listened to the three conversations between the father and son finally interjected: "Nick, Kirill, do you have a girlfriend now? Since life is so good, you should get married earlier."

"Mom, can you stop nagging about this, Nick and I are still so young."

Vladimir glared at the second son: "Don't talk to your mother like this."

Kirill did not dare to talk back, but the maid just brought another small cake over, obviously intentional, Kirill gestured and reached out and shook behind the maid, only the maid in her early twenties with a pretty face and full body dodged. , Although Kirill didn't pat himself on him, he couldn't help but glanced at Vladimir on the other side, with a little pity in his eyes.

Vladimir could only be angry again, but he still didn't say anything. When the maid left, he continued the topic just now: "I won't say much about the rest, just about tariffs, pay attention, you should pay some, or you have to pay more, Don't be caught too much, after all, the port of entry is in Odessa, and now Kyiv is staring at us more and more, something happens, it's very difficult to handle."

In Eastern Europe now, smuggling is prevalent, and many oligarchs have relied on smuggling to make their fortunes over the years. Because of the collapse of the country, the government is powerless to do anything about it.

Nicholas said: "Dad, don't worry, this matter has been settled a long time ago, and there will be no problem."

"Also, the two of you, try to show as little as possible, let Alexander and the others handle the specific things, and don't be stingy with the benefits that should be given. Remember, being stingy can't achieve great things."

Kirill nodded repeatedly: "Mmmmmmm."

Vladimir wanted to fight again, but unfortunately across the dining table, he hesitated a little, and said with a solemn expression: "I said last night, I plan to nail myself in Rivne, and my ability is limited to this. In an area, in the future, the Korkoshko family, everything will belong to the two of you. If you are not capable, even if Simon will protect us easily, you may have to leave Ukraine and live overseas. "

Nicholas felt his father's sincerity, and nodded seriously this time.

Kirill didn't hang around anymore, but he couldn't help but say, "Dad, have you ever thought about living overseas? They say it's better than Ukraine."

"No matter how good it is, it's someone else's territory. You can go to play. If you can settle down, if you don't have to, who do you think is willing to leave their own country and emigrate overseas?"

"I might be willing."

"Don't talk back to your father," Korkoshkov saw that her husband had reached a critical point, and quickly turned around and said, "Also, Nick, you two should take more care of your sister in the future."

"My sister doesn't need our care."

"It's different, it's different," the Korkoshkovs couldn't help shaking their heads and said, "A lover is not a wife after all, how can it last."

The brothers were speechless for a while.

Considering the number of lovers of someone, this also seems to be an issue.

If it was someone else who dared to do this to their sister, the brothers would have beaten him long ago, but, because it is Westeros, it seems...probably...can't do anything at all. complete

After all, everything that the Korkoshko family has now is given by the man, and it is not difficult for the other party to take it away.

"Perhaps," Nicholas said after a while, "perhaps my sister can be like the powerful women around Simon, maybe."

The other two men in the restaurant did not speak, but the Korkoshkovs smiled and shook their heads: "No, your sister is a stupid girl, and there are no very smart people in our family." , said to the two sons: "You two, you must find a very smart girl as your wife in the future. I heard that the children born in this way can also be smarter."

"..."

After breakfast, the brothers, who had been urged by their mother to get married, left in a hurry, and Vladimir also drove to the state government.

As soon as he arrived at the government building in the city center, Vladimir's secretary greeted him, informed him that there was a temporary meeting in the morning, and delivered materials.

Vladimir came to his office first and opened the meeting materials with a slightly weird expression.

The topic of the meeting was the resettlement solution for the shanty town residents in the west of the city.

On the car returning home from the hot spring resort last night, Vladimir also thought that he needed to pay attention to this issue next, but he did not expect that the first meeting would be like this when he woke up today.

Moreover, there is already a relatively complete solution in the materials in hand.

Two private commercial banks directly controlled by the Westeros system, Rivni Union Bank and Rivni Development Bank, on the Rivne side, will contribute $200 million, together with Sergei Komorov's Together with the Aldeck Company, several resettlement communities have been established in the west and north of Rivne.

Two hundred million dollars.

Once again, Vladimir couldn't help but think of the pitiful compensation from the West that Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons two years ago.

Right now, the Westeros system is $200 million in one shot.

This is simply... a lot of money to burn.

As the Korkoshkov people said at breakfast, the Korkoshko family has no one too smart. Therefore, I read the material carefully, and although I found that these two hundred million dollars will be an investment in the next two years, not a one-time grant, it seems to be too wasteful.

The low-level civilians in the shanty towns in the west of the city, and even the more and more Ukrainian residents flocking to Rivni, in any case, in Vladimir's eyesight, are not worth the Westeros system.

If it was for the UFMS mercenaries, Vladimir would easily understand that, after all, the army has always been a gold-devouring beast, the kind that only gets in and can't get out.

Besides, for these people, what the hell is going on?

Angels have come to Ukraine?

However, Vladimir quickly wanted to understand that this plan could only be approved by Simon himself, otherwise, no one else in the Westeros system would dare to take such a sum of money to waste.

So, the question is, is Simon possessed by an angel?

This is obviously a joke too.

In any case, 200 million US dollars was used to build a resettlement community for those poor ghosts. It was difficult for Vladimir to think that this money could be recovered.

I pondered for a long time in my office, during which I made a few calls to go out, but there was no result. I don't understand, Vladimir can only think that this is Simon who was really bent over by an angel.

At ten o'clock, the meeting began.

Vladimir came to the large conference room of the government building and found that other high-level government officials and related Rovno gang leaders who were already present were whispering. Obviously, no one seemed to understand the purpose of the sudden plan.

In the two-hour meeting that followed, Boguslav Edelman and Marek Perlman, the presidents of the two banks, became the protagonists and personally introduced the general planning of the plan to everyone.

All listen carefully.

Immediately, when the two responsible persons mentioned that in order to cooperate with this development plan and hoped that the state government would cooperate in formulating relevant land allocation and real estate development related bills, Vladimir Korkoshko finally felt that he seemed to have caught it. A scale and a half claw.

Because of the influx of a large number of people, the price of housing, land and rent in the Rivni area has continued to rise sharply. Vladimir is also aware of this.

However, this rise is, after all, only relative.

Not to mention the real estate industry of other overseas countries, even compared with Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, Rivni is far behind.

So, if you're talking about developing real estate in this city, unless someone is crazy. After all, if you have money, go to London, go to Paris, go to New York, aren't these cities bad? What's more, 200 million US dollars is definitely not a small sum of money, even in those international metropolises, this money is enough to play.

That being the case, Vladimir felt that he was investing in the future with these two hundred million dollars. If it was more clear, that young man planned to make arrangements in advance and completely control Rivney's real estate industry.

Then, consider that Rivni has grown from a population of 200,000 to more than 800,000 in just two years. If this growth rate can be maintained, it will only surpass the 3 million population of Kyiv in the future. Time is a matter of time, there are more people, and the demand for real estate will naturally increase.

If the layout is in advance and the city's real estate industry is locked, future profits can be expected.

However, after thinking that he had roughly figured it out, Vladimir Korkoshko still felt a little pity. Two hundred million dollars was really unnecessary.

I have to say that this high-level executive of the Rovno government, who is quite loyal to Simon, really lacks enough vision.

and knowledge.

Also in the conference room, Sergey Komorov, the head of the Aldek company who also just got the materials this morning, saw more than Vladimir. In a relatively large case, the merger of East and West Germany, West Germany has invested tens of billions of dollars in order to support East Germany in just a few short years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Tax'.

In general, it is impossible for any country or any city to rise in vain, especially a city like Rivni, which is almost impoverished.

Now that we have seen the possibility of a rise, if we want to develop further, we must invest real money and silver to solve various livelihood problems regardless of cost and return.

Like the shanty towns that popped up west of Rivney.

If this problem is not solved and allowed to develop, a slum of larger and larger scale may be formed in the future.

Regardless of Latin America or Southeast Asia, the impact of slums on a city is absolutely negative, dragging down the development of the city, hindering the introduction of capital, promoting the breeding of crime, etc. Moreover, for people, the residents who live in the slums for a long time are often completely lost. Hope for the future.

Hope is gone, let alone effort, or change.

Therefore, since Simon is quite optimistic about the prospects of the city of Rivney, this problem must be solved in advance.

This is a big picture and big vision.

Of course, there are not many people in the world who have this kind of vision. In many cases, it is just that there is not enough capital to solve these problems.

I have to say that at this time, these people in the conference room of the state government building more or less understood some of Simon's more.

However, it is not comprehensive after all.

This is indeed a decision made by Simon himself after he has learned about Rivney's current state. However, Simon is definitely not so kind. In the final analysis, when launching this plan, Simon is still pursuing the Westeros system to the state of Rivne. absolute control. As for how to control, it refers to the Chinese real estate industry in memory.
