After hanging up the phone, Tymoshenko told her subordinates to transfer the money to Lazarenko. After finishing these things, she walked to the balcony on the second floor connected to the bedroom, and looked at the resort hotel surrounded by the whole plant of evergreen pines and cypresses. The apartment and the shadowy entertainment area not far away, carefully plan the future.

Since the Shcherban assassination broke out suddenly on the international public opinion platform three days ago, and also received direct attention from the high-level officials of the United States and Russia, Tymoshenko knew that Lazarenko was finished.

Whether the president is afraid of threatening his own status, or he is worried that Lazarenko will continue to stir up troubles that will undermine his policy strategy of seeking a balance at home and abroad, Kuchma will not allow Lazarenko to continue working. .

In recent years, Tymoshenko has followed Lazarenko to quickly establish her own business kingdom, which is superficially beautiful, but she is very clear that her foundation is still shallow, just like the largest cash cow in her hands, which monopolizes the domestic natural gas supply at this time. Once the energy company loses Lazarenko's protection, it will immediately be coveted by other political and business forces, and she has little power to resist.

Without the continuous supply of funds from energy companies, other industries that have just been rolled out will have no future.

In any case, she must find her next backer as soon as possible.

The Rovno gang, or to be precise, the terrifying influence of the Westeros system behind it in this incident, made Tymoshenko directly lock the target: Simon Westeros.

As long as she can rely on this man, all the problems she faces will no longer be problems.

Moreover, the information collected in private is also very suitable for the young man's taste. Tymoshenko believes that as long as she can see the other party, she will be [-]% sure to "convince" the other party to support her. The queen of Ukraine, not just the so-called gas princess.

This is the real purpose of her coming to Rivne region.

After rearranging the plans in his mind, Tymoshenko breathed a sigh of relief in the cold wind, turned around and went downstairs, intending to go to the entertainment area to have a drink and relax.

When she came downstairs, her assistant took the initiative to arrange two bodyguards for her. Tymoshenko still didn't refuse after thinking about it. Her usual security team has the equivalent of a platoon, and they are all elite special forces from the former Soviet Union. There is also no way, various assassinations in Ukraine in recent years have emerged one after another, similar to the attempted car bomb that Lazarenko encountered a few months ago, she also encountered it.

Yev Sherban, who was beaten into a sieve last weekend, was just unlucky.

As for Rovno, Tymoshenko actually knows that the president’s son-in-law Viktor Pinchuk and a deputy governor of Donetsk have come to Rivni, although he does not believe that the opponent will do something in the Rovno region , This is tantamount to a direct provocation to the Westeros system, but it has to be guarded against.

After waiting like this until the evening, but still did not receive a reply from Celia Miller, Tymoshenko finally noticed something was wrong.

After failing to get the contact information of Celia Miller in the hot spring manor where Simon Westeros’s golden house hides, Tymoshenko did not rush to block the door, but first contacted Sergei Ko Morov, Tymoshenko got chills from head to toe with the news.

Celia Miller actually departed for North America this afternoon.

Bitchi!

Cursing in my heart, I was inevitably at a loss.

Now how to do?

Tymoshenko thought that Komorov was deceiving himself, and was about to run to the hot spring estate again, when Andrei Smirnov, the director of the resort, came to him personally and gave Celia Miller A letter to her before leaving.It was opened directly in front of Smirnov, and there was only one sentence in Russian on the thin page

——The boss said that you are too dishonest, so forget about meeting.

This time it was heartbreaking.

Andrey Smirnov looked at the Ukrainian business woman whose face was constantly changing, waited for a moment, and asked, "Ms. Tymoshenko, if I have no other questions, I'm leaving first?"

Tymoshenko quickly calmed down and asked Andrei, "When was this letter delivered?"

"Around three o'clock in the afternoon, but Ms. Miller asked me to hand it over to you at six o'clock in the evening."

Tymoshenko nodded.

I can't help but think of Celia Miller's reminder during the morning meeting. It seems that I really made a mistake. If I knew it earlier, I should have prepared a sincere plan in advance instead of meeting Westeros for nothing.No matter what, as long as he can rely on that man in the future, he will definitely get more back.

Thinking of this, I felt annoyed again.

If that woman reminded her a few more words in the morning, maybe she would be able to wake up, why didn't she remind herself a few more words!

What should we do now?

Fly directly to North America?

Not to mention whether she could see Westeros, under the current turbulent situation, she did not dare to leave Ukraine without a positive reply from Westeros.Who knows what it will look like when you go out and come back again.

As for the Rovno gang.

Whether it is Sergei Komorov, Kerim Derevyanko or Vladimir Korkoshko, these people are very powerful when they are pinched together, but they are not considered to be the talkers themselves. In fact, it is easy to see that Simon Westeros did not intend to support a leader here at all, and even Celia Miller was just an agent.

After all, the real power is in the hands of that tall young man.

Therefore, contacting the high-level members of the Rovno Gang will not yield any results at all.

Calculating it carefully, the meeting this morning may be her best chance to establish a connection with Westeros.

Unfortunately, missed it.

It was all the fault of that nasty bitch, perhaps, the other party did it on purpose and didn't want her to go to Simon Westeros' side.

Although he hated him extremely, but gradually calmed down, Tymoshenko had to face the reality and hurriedly left Rivny and returned to Kyiv.

Since she failed to catch up with Simon Westero, Lazarenko, an ally, whether she wants to or not, must try her best to maintain it, and at the same time, she must also consider finding other allies.

Chapter 1063 Free Trade Zone

On the east coast of the United States, in a manor on Martha's Vineyard at the eastern end of Long Island, Celia, who returned to North America, saw Simon again on Friday, November 11.

In just a few days, facing the intense attention of international public opinion, the special task force sent by the Kyiv authorities to Donetsk quickly cracked the assassination of Shcherban.

At the press conference on the summary of the case, the Ukrainian side stated that one of the five arrested murderers had a grudge because of the layoffs after the factory was acquired by a company under the name of Sherban, and contacted several other accomplices to initiate the assassination.

That reason is bullshit.

Bystanders who have a little knowledge of the inside story know that the whole thing is a fierce struggle between two major forces in Ukraine for the industrial assets of East Ukraine. Moreover, both sides are not clean in connection with the attempted assassination of Lazarenko a few months ago.

This kind of scandal is definitely not suitable for the public to know.

Even if you deceive yourself.

Now that the case has been solved quickly, Leon Kuchma also personally held a press conference to assure reporters from all over the world that Ukraine will strengthen the protection of overseas investors, and after Russia and the United States made a statement, they did not do it again With a substantive follow-up, the matter is considered to be over.

As for the continuous surge and waves in private, it is not something that anyone can detect.

In the living room of a manor villa near the sea at the southern tip of Martha's Vineyard.

Celia Miller sipped slowly with her coffee in her hand, and occasionally glanced at her boss who was reading the casino development plan with Irene Lauder on the sofa next to her.

After more than ten minutes like this, after reading the information, Simon stroked the waist of Irene in his arms, and leaned his head to kiss the girl's cheek and neck, and asked, "How do you feel about this plan?"

Irene, who purposely leaned in the man's arms to swear sovereignty because of Celia's appearance, quickly turned rosy under Simon's action, held down his big mischievous hand, shook her head and said: "I don't understand this, but, Livni I don’t know exactly where it is, but if we really invest a lot of money to build a casino, will it attract tourists in the future?”

"Las Vegas was just a desert town before it became famous."

Seeing that Simon kissed the corner of her mouth again, Irene was really embarrassed to be so flirtatious in front of outsiders, so she bit him and said, "Then you decide, it's all your money anyway."

Simon was not frightened by Irene's fake bite, and kissed the girl's earlobe again, and said, "How about the Lauder family also get involved, leaving our little Noah in the future to be the gambling king of Eastern Europe? That's great, right?"

Irene was even more embarrassed: "I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. Besides, my father and the others decide about the investment, and I can't control it."

Having said that, Irene, who has been raised as a lady since she was a child, finally couldn't stand being looked at so intimately by Celia, broke away from Simon's arms and got up and said, "Okay, I'm going to take a nap, let's talk."

Simon held the girl's arm reluctantly until she got up and broke away a little bit, and said affectionately, "I know you can't sleep alone, I will come to accompany you soon."

Irene gave Simon a white look: "I like to sleep alone."

Seeing that the little hand was still being held by Simon, and the man turned his face sideways, he could only step forward and kiss him before being let go.

However, just as she was about to turn around and go out, Irene, who was not stupid after all, realized that a certain guy did it on purpose just now, in order to make her unbearable and leave voluntarily.

Finally, she gave a look of "I understand" and nodded politely to Celia, and Irene still walked out.

When Irene left, Simon glanced at Celia who had a strange expression: "Are you envious?"

Simon didn't deliberately hide some things, and Celia naturally knew that, although her heart was inevitably moved, the woman didn't answer, but said: "Noah, a very good name."

"Yeah, Irene started it, we all hope it's a boy, and we'll call it Noah Lauder Westeros then."

After all, it is the boss's private matter. Even if there is an intimate relationship, Celia still puts herself in a straight position. She nodded without saying anything, and asked instead: "What does the boss think of this plan?"

Simon said: "If everything only needs [-] million US dollars, you can try it, but the money is definitely not enough to start it."

Celia agrees.

If you want to build a gambling city, infrastructure such as casinos and hotels is just the beginning. Putting [-] million U.S. dollars in Ukraine can really spread the ground.

The key is the follow-up operation.

Just like Atlantic City, although it is not too much of a failure, compared with the vigor and vigor when the city was first built, the current results are far below investors' expectations.

The same is true of Atlantic City, which has many advantages. It is a gambling city located in an unknown and remote state in Eastern Europe. It is definitely not so difficult to do it.At that time, once the operation of the casino is not ideal, this project will probably be like a film project that is out of control like "Future Water World" or the "Titanic" that is still being filmed. I want to avoid the huge investment in the early stage. If it is not drifting, investors will have to grit their teeth and continue to burn money.

It's hard to say whether it will become a bottomless pit.

After a little consideration, Celia said: "From the perspective of the operation of the hot spring resort and the military theme park, Andre and Alexander's abilities are excellent, and they are still exploring and learning, which is a very important positive factor. If The passion between the two can last for five to ten years, or coupled with the fact that the boss is willing to use the resources of the Westeros system for support, I believe that the possibility of success in this casino is more than 70%.”

Simon closed the document in his hand and said, "I'll find someone to reassess, Celie, tell me about your trip to Ukraine a few days ago?"

Celia sorted out her thoughts and talked in detail about her contacts with Viktor Pinchuk, Viktor Yanukovych, and Yulia Tymoshenko, some results of consultations, and other Some schedules, not even the fact that the Korkoshko family wanted to come over to give gifts on Thanksgiving.

Some of these matters have already been learned by Simon from the memo submitted by Celia. When he heard that Evgenia wanted Thanksgiving, he just smiled and said that Celia would tell Janet directly.

In addition, I also have some small emotions in my heart.

Yanukovych also played.

This Donetsk-born politician who once became the president of Ukraine can be said to be the worst among the presidents of Ukraine before and after. The root of the matter lies in the opponent's pro-Russian stance.It's a pity that Russia is no longer the former Soviet Union, and its deity will be suppressed and beaten by the United States, let alone support Yanukovych's ruling. In the end, the last thing he can do is to give this troubled little brother political protection to avoid The other party was taken back to Ukraine and thrown into prison.

After the general talk, Celia couldn't hold back and asked: "Boss, this incident is an excellent opportunity for us to expand in Ukraine. Why should we give up? Everyone feels regretful and puzzled about this? Just like Ji Moshenko, if the boss agrees with that woman, we can directly control Ukraine's gas supply."

"If I want to invest in natural gas, I can go directly to Russia to buy oil and gas fields. This is the real energy business. Tymoshenko is just a second-hand dealer who relies on monopoly distribution channels to grab profits." Simon shrugged and said: "As for why not Take this opportunity to expand, of course I know what you are thinking, take this opportunity to destroy Lazarenko’s family, and at the same time march into Eastern Ukraine and annex the Donetsk gang. At that time, we will basically control the entire Ukraine, right? ?”

Celia did not nod rashly, but asked instead: "Boss, is there any problem?"

"Frankly speaking, I almost couldn't restrain this desire to expand. Fortunately, I finally held this line," Simon said, seeing Celia still puzzled, and said: "Celia, I ask you Question, why do you think the Westeros system has grown at an almost miraculous rate in the past ten years?"

This question is too big, Celia thought about it, and could only smile and said: "Because the boss is a genius."

Simon shook his head with a smile, without forcing Celia to answer, he took the initiative to say: "I don't deny that I have my own secrets. However, one of the key factors for the rapid rise of the Westeros system in the past ten years is that , I never compete with others in various traditional industries that have formed a monopoly, so I bypassed the competitive obstacles that many entrepreneurs often encounter. Just like Daenerys Entertainment, from the beginning of its establishment, in order to avoid the old seven big Suppression, I have been cooperating with external parties, giving away a lot of benefits. Until now, this company has cooperation projects with several other giants in Hollywood. Then there is the Internet field, which is more typical. It is a completely new project from scratch. emerging industries, so the Westeros system can also develop rapidly in an environment with almost no competitors."

Celia realized something.

Simon looked at Celia's expression and continued: "My layout in Ukraine is the same. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the most valuable assets inherited from the former Soviet Union in this country are in the east and south, but I did not go to the southeast. Instead, I focused on the most impoverished and backward border state in the northwest, and invested a lot of money to develop from scratch. In addition, I continued to give up profits to the Ukrainian local snakes. Bounce."

Seeing Celia's involuntary nod, Simon still didn't stop: "People always like to get something for nothing. In the fierce confrontation with the Donetsk Gang for the industrial assets of East Ukraine, they all thought that this was something that could be obtained without paying too much. As a result, Yev Sherban even lost his life. There is also Tymoshenko, the natural gas princess who seems to be very beautiful, but as long as the political situation in Ukraine changes, the monopoly natural gas distribution channel she now has will be snatched away almost immediately, which is also something that cannot be grasped. Compared with Come to think of it, our layout in the Rivne region has been formed in the past two years. Next, we only need to operate patiently and create a super Rivne consortium that is strong enough to easily control the Ukrainian economy. By then, this Eastern European country will naturally The control is in our hands. Just like Hollywood, with Daenerys Entertainment’s current strength and size, I say that I am the king of Hollywood, do you think there is any objection?”

Celia subconsciously nodded slightly, and when she realized it, she quickly shook her head again. In the end, she didn't know whether to nod or shake her head, so she could only smile: "Boss, I understand."

Simon showed a satisfied expression, but he took the initiative to change the subject: "However, I have actually been thinking about this issue in recent days."

"Ok?"

"We have made such a big noise. If we don't take the initiative to ask for something, it will make the local snakes in Ukraine feel uneasy, thinking that we are planning something bigger."

Celia immediately felt the same: "Boss, this is actually what I want to say."

Simon said: "So, next, Rivni can apply to the Kyiv authorities for the establishment of a free trade zone, which is the benefit we hope to get this time."

"Free trade zone?"

"Yeah, you also know about this matter. The Rivni city government had already raised it two years ago. However, the initial plan to imitate China's establishment of a special economic zone will definitely not work. As long as Kyiv is not crazy, it is impossible to do it again." For Rivni to fully tilt their resources, their own resources are not enough. Then take a step back and promote Rivni to establish a free trade zone with tariff exemption. Without restrictions on trade categories and tariffs, it will not only attract more Investors enter Rivni, and Sergei's "light industrial complex" plan can also obtain a better development platform. Moreover, the incident of Shcherban's assassination has just passed, and no matter whether it is the Kyiv authorities or other forces, I will not jump out rashly to oppose this plan."

Only then did Celia remember the proposal that Simon had temporarily suppressed.

After all, development plans such as casinos are only corners. The core of Rivne State's industries is still light industrial products and OEM industries, and both are export-oriented.Under such circumstances, in order to promote the further development of Rivne State, it would be better to turn Rivni into a free trade zone.

Moreover, under the current situation in Ukraine, the resistance to the free trade area proposal being released by Kyiv is also the lowest.

So she quickly raised her interest, and seriously discussed with her boss for more than half an hour before Celia finally left and planned to contact Rovno immediately.

Simon personally sent Celia to board the helicopter back to Greenwich, watched the helicopter disappear into the clear blue sky of winter, felt the surrounding trees that were less covered by green shade due to the withered leaves, raised his arms at will and stretched his body for a while Only then walked towards the villa.

This is actually an estate of the Lauder family.

After Irene became pregnant, Estée Lauder, the founder of Estee Lauder who was still alive and of course the grandmother of the girl, Estee Lauder personally decided to assign the manor to the granddaughter's name, saying it was a gift for a little guy in Irene's stomach.

Back in front of the white-walled and blue-roofed villas that are common in the United States, Simon looked up when he heard the voice, and saw the girl who had woken up by the bedroom window on the second floor greeted him, responded with a smile, made a gesture of waiting, and soon Enter the villa and come to the bedroom on the second floor.

However, even though she obediently allowed the man to pick her up from the sofa by the window and put her on his lap, Irene sniffed between Simon's collar and said dissatisfiedly, "After talking for so long, you still said to accompany me?" What about nap?"

"Would you like to sleep again?"

"How can I still sleep?" Irene raised her hand and slapped the man on the shoulder, then leaned over softly, with a resentful tone: "Are you going to leave later?"

This is the tone. Although he arrived the afternoon before yesterday and has been with the woman for two days, Simon can only say: "Of course not, we will stay here tonight and tell you ghost stories."

Irene pouted, pulled Simon's big hand to her mouth and bit it down. After all, it was useless. After letting go, she still complained: "You don't love me, you don't marry me, you only want to possess me, and you don't want to marry me. You got me pregnant, so you should spend more time with me now, right?"

Simon in turn pressed the girl's small hand to his heart: "Feel it, I'm almost so guilty that I'm going to stop beating."

As expected, Irene felt it for a while, and rolled her eyes: "Liar."

Simon bowed his head and kissed the girl's lips again.

After being tender for a while, the two separated, and Irene, who was a little more satisfied, did not release the magic of resentment, and tapped the thick stack of materials on the coffee table next to her with the toes in thin socks.These were brought by Simon yesterday, and the girl couldn't hold back her curiosity and flipped through them just now: "It's all about the Mellon family, are you planning to do something bad again?"

Simon played subconsciously: "Why do you say again?"
