Chapter 1061 Mini Casino

"The owner of a large fashion group in Spain originally planned to visit Rivni in the next few days. If the investment plan is finalized, it will bring at least 3,000 job opportunities to Rivni. Unexpectedly, it will suddenly happen in Donetsk. After such a vicious incident, the boss hesitated, which is why Simon was angry. Victor, Simon means, we are just businessmen and don't want to get too involved in the politics of other countries, but, as an investor, since we are the Ukrainian people Enough well-being has been created, and our interests should be safeguarded."

The evening banquet was arranged in a high-end hotel owned by Aldek Corporation in the city center. The long table was filled with the core members of the Rovno Gang, and the only guest was Victor Pinchuk, the son-in-law of the president.

Victor Pinchuk was arranged to sit with Celia Miller, and when he heard the explanation of the Westeros confidant, he was dubious in his heart, but his face was extremely sincere: "We're sorry about that, Celie. Ya, the president has personally asked about this incident, and I promise to give you an explanation in the short term."

"But the nasty impact of this has already taken shape."

Victor Pinchuk shook his head and said, "No, it's not the same. What happened in Donetsk has nothing to do with Rovno. I believe that after careful communication, the entrepreneur in Spain will understand. The Vno state has always been very concerned, and it is quite recognized that Andrei, Vladimir, Sergey, and Kerim jointly lead the development of this area."

"In this case, we are very grateful for the trust of Mr. President."

Pinchuk added: "Actually, the President also paid attention to the resettlement community project that Mr. Westeros invested in Rivney. This is the real sense of social responsibility of entrepreneurs, so the President also hopes to take the time to come and see in person, and he will give him a good feeling. The builders of the project are grateful.”

The words of the president's son-in-law raised his voice a little, and all the people sitting there echoed their welcome.

I only invited myself to the banquet tonight, and the Sherban assassination case was successfully carried out. Looking at the attitude of everyone at this time, Victor Pinchuk was very satisfied with the result of this trip to Rovno, at least on the surface. , Simon Westeros did not mean to change camps. Next, unless the other side makes substantive actions, the alliance between the two sides remains strong.

The waiter brought the dishes again, the conversation paused briefly, and after tasting the charcoal-grilled sturgeon that had just been served, Victor Pinchuk continued: "Also, Celia, the president's response to Donetsk's lag in recent years and Chaos is very disappointing, and if Mr Westeros is interested in investing in Eastern Ukraine, Kyiv can offer all facilities."

Pinchuk's tone was sincere, but Celia, who had been in the political circle for many years, immediately felt the possible intentions of Kuchma. The other party hoped that the Westeros system could help him suppress the rapid self-contained in recent years and cooperate with the Kyiv authorities. The tit-for-tat Donetsk gang.

There are pros and cons to this.

The disadvantage is that if you really listen to Pinchuk's instigation, you will not only be used as a gunman here, but Donetsk will not be so easy to be eaten, otherwise the Lazarenko family will not be in Donetsk in recent years. Hit the wall again and again.

The benefits are also obvious.

Donetsk owns more than 90 percent of Ukraine's coal resources, which are necessary for the western states to expand their thermal power networks with Rivno at the core.

The other is the heavy industry in the Donetsk region.

This is also the thickest piece of wealth that Ukraine has inherited from the former Soviet Union. If it can be eaten and the potential of related industries such as steel, machinery, and chemicals can be stimulated through transformation and integration, it may even become Europe's 'Pittsburgh' in the future.

However, these can only be thought.

Celia talked to her boss that the business focus of the Westeros system in Ukraine will not change in the next five to ten years.

Of course, taking advantage of this opportunity, the Donetsk gang has already sent representatives to come here, and Kyiv has such an attitude, which happens to be a hand in the coal resources in Donetsk that are enough for the entire Ukraine to burn for a century.

Thinking like this, Celia appeared calm and interested in Pinchuk's suggestion, but she didn't make any substantive promises.

Victor Pinchuk finally did not forget to talk about the 'Ukrainian Progressive Alliance Party' established by the Rovno Gang. The Rivnos present at the scene assured the core that the Progressive Alliance would only stand with the Kyiv authorities. He also half-jokingly said that if Mr. President hadn't insisted on not establishing parties, Rivne would not need such trouble.

It's also fun to say.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Leon Kuchma did not form or join any party organizations, so the Ukrainian president is one of the few non-partisan heads of state in the world.

The dinner party ended happily.

In the villa by the lake in the south of the city, Celia and her assistant, Emily Joplin, stayed here last night. The three girls with more and more freedom in the villa just returned from Japan a few days ago. Talking to Celia about the travel experience, there was still Eve Besonoskova who heard the news and came here quietly.

Celia felt the carefree tone of the three girls, and when Yekaterina's voice fell, she looked at Natalia Ludayeva with a smile: "Nata, if I remember correctly , you're eighteen years old, aren't you?"

"Yeah," Natalia nodded. "It was last month."

The girl curled her lips as she spoke, remembering that although she hadn't seen a certain man last month, she received a birthday present from him.

Celia's tone was still gentle and concerned: "Then have you thought about going to college?

? "

Natalia blinked slightly puzzled, for a while she didn't understand why Celia asked this question, but the girl quickly said, "I'll listen to Simon's arrangement."

"Simon doesn't have time to help you arrange this," Celia said: "Even if you are satisfied with your current life, even if it continues like this, Simon's side will be fine, but you also need to properly consider the future. It can't be like this forever."

future? !

The three girls were stunned for a moment, and then realized that, before they knew it, two years had passed.

This is definitely the happiest and carefree two years of their lives.

Therefore, when Celia mentioned it, the girls realized that time really flies, Natalia is 18 years old, and Ekaterina and Evgenia are adults in one or two years.

In fact, of course, occasionally think about the future.

It's just that it's so beautiful now, and men don't have any dissatisfaction with them. In such a state, how can there be too much thinking about the future?

Celia's words made the girls wake up.

yes.

It can't be like this forever. But what about that?

Seeing that the three little chicks were no longer jumping, Celia was very satisfied and started to eat porridge with a spoon.

After listening to the conversation just now, Emily, who had been with Celia's female assistant for two years, quietly raised an arc at the corner of her mouth. She understood the voice of her boss very well: Why do you work so hard? Carefree?

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and Natalia spoke again, with a little anticipation and anxiety: "Celia, that, when will Simon come to Ukraine next time?"

The girl asked a question, and Besonoskova, who had been eating quietly, paused for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at Celia.

Celia shrugged: "I don't know, but Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming soon in North America. At least, the boss shouldn't have time to come here before next year."

There was a burst of disappointment on the table.

In fact, the girls don't have any restrictions even if they go to North America now, but when they go there, they often don't see Simon at all. After the experience of being called by Janet to admonish and train after the last Atlanta Olympics, the girls even dared not take the initiative to come to the door.

The more I think about it, the more lost I feel, and the rich food on the table is not fragrant at all.

At the end of the breakfast, Celia said goodbye to the girls, and reminded Eve that she would go to the northern hot spring manor tonight. Just as she was about to take Emily into the car to leave, Evgenia trotted over and said something. stop look.

Celia motioned for Emily to get in the car first, and took Eve to the side.

"It's like this," Eve followed Celia to the side of the corridor, and then said: "Celia, the festival is coming soon, I... Our family has prepared some gifts, some very good amber rough stones, I... Dad hopes to give it to my wife on Thanksgiving, can you help me talk to my wife first?"

Celia raised her eyebrows slightly and immediately understood.

Janet, the hostess, has always taken care of the Wei family's maid and guard team. That is to say, on the Ukrainian side, whether it is Eve or the housekeeper Marta Becknatz at the hot spring manor, if something happens, You can contact Dumeijia Manor.

The girl in front of her did not ask Eve or Marta to help spread the word, but went to her, obviously with her own thoughts.

The other girls on the Ukrainian side probably didn't think of giving Janet a holiday gift, or even if someone thought of it, they would inevitably feel that they were not qualified or that Janet couldn't see it, and they would give up after thinking about it.

Therefore, Evgenia, and even the Korkoshko family, who did not let other girls know that she was quietly taking action, would definitely receive more attention from Janet.

The reason is simple.

In any case, Li people are not to blame.

Celia thought of this, and realized that, perhaps, a small topic she had just raised at the dinner table didn't actually have much effect. Even if the three girls really didn't think about the future on weekdays, listening to Evgenia's words at this time, their family behind the scenes would definitely think about it.

What's more, if you wake up so little, the next time the girls see Simon, just mention that the man will arrange it casually, and their future will be all there.

Therefore, Celia found that this was not a melancholy for a few girls at all, but a help.

You are indeed a good person!

She was a little depressed, but Celia did not refuse Evgenia's request, and agreed to help her, which was considered to make the Korkoshko family owe herself a favor: "No problem, I will tell the lady's side, by the way, Do you need me to help deliver it, I promise not to steal it."

"No, no," Evgenia refused, reacted again, and hurriedly said, "Celia, of course there is a gift from you, I'll give it to you tomorrow."

"Tomorrow is not a holiday. You should want to go to North America for Thanksgiving. You can visit my house then."

Evgenia was pierced, and she was a little embarrassed, but nodded in agreement.

Leaving the villa in the south of the city, the morning meeting with the deputy governor of the Donetsk region, Viktor Yanukovych, was equally smooth.

The first is the political dimension.

The Donetsk gang has close ties to Russia due to its industrial system and ethnic ties.

If it was after the previous millennium, the United States and Russia had renewed bad relations, and it would be difficult for the different forces in Ukraine to get together. But it is different now. The United States and Russia are in the honeymoon period, and the confrontation between the East and the West is far less serious than it was later.

There are barriers to consciousness.

Secondly, the leader was assassinated, and the Donetsk gang was seriously damaged. This time, in order to make a good relationship with the Westeros system, they were already prepared for hemorrhage. As a result, the Westeros system only wanted to get involved in some coal mining business. , in order to ensure the supply of thermal power fuel in the western states, without any intention to touch the core heavy industries such as iron and steel and machinery in Dongwu. Yanukovych even felt that this requirement was hardly a requirement, and even hoped that the price here could be higher.

After all, there are more requirements, which means that the interests established by the two sides will be more deeply involved.

All in all, it's clear that Simon Westeros has no intention of going deep into the East.

This also disappointed the core members of the Rovno Gang.

If Simon is willing, taking advantage of the turmoil in the Sherban assassination case, the Westeros system can completely cooperate with Kuchma to clear up the Lazarenko family, and take the opportunity to expand to Dongwu. At that time, even if it is President Kuchma Group, I am afraid it is difficult to compete with the Rovno Gang.

After finishing the meeting with Yanukovych, Celia, accompanied by several high-level officials of the Rovno Gang, began to help her boss 'patrol the mountain' and check the various properties of the Westeros system in Rovno. Most of the day, from the industrial area on the northern outskirts of Rivney to the resort and entertainment area 30 kilometers north of the city.

As expected, after the winter, the number of overseas tourists in this entertainment base has dropped significantly.

Fortunately, with the heavy snow falling, the ski resort built in a hurry near the resort was officially opened, and the resort has increased its opening to local tourists, and finally it can continue to be maintained.

Ukraine actually has the best ski resorts in the world. Unfortunately, it is located near the Carpathian Mountains in southwestern Ukraine. In comparison, the surrounding areas of Rivny are basically plains, so the quality of ski resorts near the hot spring resort It is conceivable that the lowest-level simple ski resort built on the hills with a drop of less than 100 meters is good for leisure and entertainment, but it cannot attract professional ski enthusiasts at all.

In the afternoon, a group of people took a walk on the forest path next to the ski runway.

Andre Wardmirka, the head of the hot spring resort, explained to Celia himself.

"Today is a working day, so it is inevitable that it will be deserted. In order to attract local tourists, we have opened a free weekend shuttle bus from the city to here from the end of October. The last few weekends have been very lively. Last week, the ski resort was almost full of people. Various performances such as singing and dancing, magic, acrobatics and other performances are nearly full, the hot spring baths are in short supply, and the casino is also considerable, which can generally maintain the resort’s balance of payments.”

Celia has not been to both the military theme park and the hunting ground. It is not surprising to hear the introduction of Wardmirka. In addition to the ufms private army family, with the development of Rivni, there is another group of high-income people who are also fast. Growing up, these people constituted a very sizable local consumer base for spa resorts.

However, Celia ignored the crux of the matter and turned to Alexander Nagiyev, the head of the military theme park: "How much has the number of overseas tourists decreased recently?"

Hearing this question, Alexander showed a bitter look on his face: "Compared to the last quarter, less than 30% of the entire entertainment base is left, and it is mainly concentrated on the resort side."

Alexander did not explicitly state the situation of the military theme park, and Celia could also imagine that, after all, no one would like to experience the icy aircraft and tanks in the cold winter, which was also expected.

It was still a party at night, dedicated to entertaining Celia, and it was a party for the busy Rovno gang on weekdays.

Andrei Vodmirka and Alexander Nagiyev find Celia again at the party for more discussion.

After more than half a year of operation and in-depth understanding of related industries, the two responsible persons gradually understood that the hot spring resort should be the core of this entertainment base. Therefore, after obtaining Simon's consent, the two people will use all the surplus funds here. Invested in the expansion of the hot spring resort, the ultimate goal is to build a comprehensive small casino based on the hot spring resort, with the gaming industry as the core and diversified entertainment as the auxiliary.

The Principality of Monaco, famous for its gaming industry in Europe, covers an area of ​​just over 2 square kilometers. This is not comparable to Las Vegas and other casinos, but it is not difficult at all to surpass Monaco in scale. Only by getting rid of the resort model and developing into a 'Casino City', even if it is a mini casino, can this resort and entertainment base be better known globally and attract tourists from all over the world regardless of the seasons.

"In recent months, Alexander and I have successively inspected Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Macau, Monaco and other casinos, and made a development plan based on the specific environment on our side. Celia, since Simon Ken $200 million for a resettlement community, I think our project should have more commercial potential. If you have time tomorrow morning, can we talk?”

Celia shook her head and said: "Sorry, Andre, I have other arrangements for tomorrow morning. If you want, you can give me the plan directly, and I will bring it to Simon. In fact, the operation status of several projects in the resort is here. For all to see, Simon is very satisfied with the work of both of you, just don't want everyone to be too eager."

Andre nodded, hesitated a little, and said, "Our budget is also about 200 million US dollars. However, as long as Simon agrees, we only need to give us 100 million US dollars of start-up capital and the corresponding financing authorization. I believe Evis The appeal of the Tello system will definitely have other investors willing to follow suit.”

Alexander paid attention to Celia's expression and added in time: "The entire development plan will take about 5 years to complete, and early-stage investors will definitely occupy more share.

So even if Simon only gives $100 million, the Westeros system can have absolute control. "

Celia shook her head slightly: "Frankly, I think $200 million is too much. The $200 million resettlement community in Rivney City is expected to accommodate at least 150,000 people, which is almost equivalent to building a new city. I can't imagine that you plan to put these two Where is the billion dollars spent. However, since you are confident, expect Simon to give a positive answer.”
