Around the early morning, Eve Besonoskova knocked on the door and walked in after getting permission. Holding a cup of warm milk in her hand, she put it gently on the man's hand and said softly, "Boss, you need to rest. ?"
Simon raised his wrist and looked at his watch, nodded, but turned slightly sideways and patted his knee.
Eve blushed slightly, but sat down obediently.
then.
Hmm... 188 cm tall, it's too big for a woman, and it's not suitable for hand raising at all.
Eve is also very aware of her 'disadvantages', shrinking her body as much as possible, and secretly envious of a certain Eva, Eva Banshikova, Galina's younger sister who is 1.5 meters small and hugged by a man In the arms, it looks like a doll and is quite coordinated.
Thoughts then turned to Natalia Banshikova, who had been transferred to London.
It's ridiculous.
However, he is also similar. This time, if his younger sister Lyudmila hadn't gone to Tokyo for work, he would definitely not let the two of them go.
"What are you thinking about?"
Hearing the man's sudden question, Eve cheered up quickly, but couldn't hold back, and subconsciously said, "Mira."
"Heh, is Mira still mad at me? Last year's Victoria's Secret show, she wasn't allowed to appear on stage."
Eve shook her head quickly: "No, besides, there will be chances in the future, right?"
In fact, my younger sister was so angry that she threatened to break up with a certain guy, etc. She really hoped so, but unfortunately she was only angry for a while, and she still had to do whatever she wanted.
"In two years, she's still young, don't worry."
Simon said, resting his chin on Eve's shoulders, wrapping his arms around her body and stretching towards the keyboard, typing and answering another email.
"I know."
In this way, Eve replied casually, ignoring what her sister said that models would be eliminated quickly after the age of 20, anyway, who cares about her, her older sister can’t control that younger sister, At this moment, she just turned her head slightly and touched the man's hair.
The feeling of a cat stealing food.
Then, under the command of the man, he picked up the milk next to him and brought it to his mouth.
After being busy like this for a while, Simon turned off the computer, easily picked up Eve's slender and tall body, picked it up, and walked outside.
Still got up early the next day.
Today is also the core of this Ukrainian trip, the establishment ceremony of the Rivny Free Trade Zone.
The location was chosen in a conference hall in the city center. The current President Leon Kuchma and other high-level Kyiv officials who had already arrived yesterday all attended. Simon did not show up, but just watched the whole process of communication in the Westeros system. A special ceremony that invited dozens of the world's top media to participate.
In addition to the speeches of Kuchma and other high-level government officials, the highlight was the one-time on-site event to sign the agreement with [-] people.
Overall, this is considered an introduction to Ukraine. Of course, smart people know very well that, more precisely, it is only the area of Rivne Oblast.After all, since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Eastern European countries have continued to open up in various ways, and even opened their doors to the ground, but none of them has really taken off economically like the West, and the reasons are also varied.
This northwestern frontier state of Ukraine, which has risen rapidly in recent years, is an anomaly.
On the surface, the Westeros system has spared no effort to invest in this area, so neighboring countries such as Belarus, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, etc. have come into contact with the Westeros system, hoping to follow suit, but the deeper reason is very complex.
The key point is the strong control of the Westeros system over this area.
This is also the reason why Simon will not rashly invest in other Eastern European countries and regions. After all, Rivne State has been in exchange for nearly three years of various operational games. It wants to gain the same control in other places. , the probability is very low.
After the morning ceremony, there was another grand foundation laying ceremony in the afternoon.
Tinkber plans to build his own European manufacturing center in Rivni. In fact, he already has a factory before. This time, he will expand the factory to a large factory park with an investment of 5 million US dollars and an area of 50 hectares similar to the Nokia campus.
According to the plan, once the project is completed, it will directly bring about 5000 jobs.
The indirect industrial chain promotion is hard to estimate.
This is certainly just the beginning.
With the establishment of the Rivni Free Trade Zone, the import and export duties of electronic products, clothing, food and other commodities in this area will be completely exempted. Bring another investment boom.
On the other hand, with the powerful penetration of the Westeros system into various fields in this area, Simon's control over Rivni and even the entire Rivno State will not become weaker and weaker as some people expected, but Only stronger.Moreover, when a city, a state, and a county have a vital impact on a country's economy, the influence of the controller behind the scenes will only grow.
As for other capital, on the one hand, there is no capital in this world that is stronger than the current Westeros system; If the business is not bad, it will definitely be able to pay back with a full load, but if you want to reach out to other aspects such as politics and military affairs, there is only one way to go.
"Simon, let me introduce. This is Valery, Valery Pavlovich. He is currently the Minister of the Interior. However, I hope he can go further."
After a lively day, at the evening reception, Leon Kuchma personally introduced a middle-aged man to Simon
Silver-haired Valery Pavlovich, around 50, shook hands with Simon enthusiastically: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Westeros."
"Oh, Valery, just call me Simon."
Simon was equally enthusiastic.
Whether it was Leon Kuchma's almost blunt hint just now, or the information obtained in private, Simon knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was the new prime minister candidate that Kuchma had determined to replace Lazarenko.
Speaking of which, the Minister of Interior in the West is mainly responsible for the police system, which is equivalent to the Minister of Public Security that Simon was familiar with in his previous life.When Leon Kuchma promoted such a person to power, he obviously also had the will to strengthen his domestic control.
However, even though he introduced him to Simon, Kuchma obviously didn't intend to let Pavlovich chat with him more. Well, Simon, I plan to re-integrate the domestic natural gas sales network in the second half of the year, are you interested in participating?"
Tymoshenko's fortune lies in the fact that he has almost monopolized Ukraine's lucrative natural gas sales network in recent years, and, as we all know, Tymoshenko is still Lazarenko's "pocket".
Take down Lazarenko, and then cut off the opponent's pocketbook, the politician will completely lose the threat to Kuchma.
Very direct and effective means.
Seeing that Kuchma was still staring at himself after finishing speaking, Simon shook his head with a smile and said, "This is not necessary. Leon, frankly speaking, this part of the business is too sensitive, and it is also very important to Ukraine. It is best for you to control it yourself. Good. Of course, if you lack funds to operate, I can help."
Even if Ukraine's natural gas business can generate hundreds of millions of profits every year, Simon still doesn't like it.
Moreover, Simon also probably understood that this was a test by Kuchma.
After all, this business is too profitable and does not require too much investment, and because it involves Russia's natural gas supply to the whole of Europe, it has special political significance.
If Simon shows too much interest, Kuchma will inevitably become wary of Simon.
What's more, in Simon's view, Ukraine's natural gas business is equivalent to a piece of cheese that attracts rats from all sides to bite and scramble. If Simon really wants to intervene, with the powerful strength of the Westeros system, other rats who covet this piece of cheese It is inevitable that it will stop, even if Kuchma himself, even if he is afraid, he has to accept Simon as a player to join.
Such a situation does not meet Simon's expectation that the Kyiv authorities will maintain a chaotic state.
After the inauguration ceremony of the Rivny Free Trade Zone, Simon continued to stay in Ukraine until April 4, went through the various industries here step by step, and then set off again, with the goal of the next stop China.
Chapter 1128 There is a song called "Human Meeting"
Simon arrived in Beijing on April 4th. First of all, he had a non-public official schedule that lasted for two days. He went through various projects related to the Westeros system in the capital. He also held a reception at the Human Club, and finally got free. , is already April 25.
