After a hearty Chinese hot pot meal, it was 10 o'clock late at night.
Two pairs of men and women finally want to ride back to their community apartment. Just after driving, they encounter a movie theater that is still brightly lit late at night. Huge posters of Hollywood blockbusters such as "collision between heaven and earth", "Mummy 2" and "suicide team 2" are pasted on the outer wall of the movie theater.
In addition, there are long lines extending to the street.
Today is December 19.
Saturday.
The Orthodox Christmas in the former Soviet Union is generally celebrated on January 7. However, under the strong operation of the Westeros system, the cinema market in Ukraine and Hollywood blockbusters are basically synchronized with North America.
Seeing the line lined up on the street, Sergei suddenly remembered to other humanitarians: "Hey, if I remember correctly," suicide team 2 "was released yesterday?"
Before the others could answer, Mary behind her patted her boyfriend on the shoulder: "go on, don't stop, we can't spend any more money today."
The other pair immediately laughed again.
Sergei was helpless. Looking at Alexander who didn't mean to stop, he could only continue.
Alexander noticed Sergei's expectation as a film fan and said, "there are many people on the weekend. We have to go to the resort early tomorrow. If we are late, we must queue up at the ski resort and watch the film tomorrow night."
Sergei thought so, but he had to give up.
Alexander's girlfriend yelina couldn't help but be a little angry: "the cinema is full of Hollywood films. We'll never want to see films produced by our own country."
Alexander retorted: "why not? We saw a love film last month, which was invested by Livni media. Don't you think it's good?"
"I mean, sci-fi blockbusters like the collision of heaven and earth."
Sergei said: "even without Hollywood, it is difficult for us to make such a film. The production budget of" collision between heaven and earth "is only US $120 million. Even if someone in Ukraine can afford it, it is impossible to invest in making a film."
Everyone laughed again.
The four of them just turned a corner by bike and entered a relatively quiet path.
Mary looked around and saw that there were no other pedestrians. It was a long way before she lit a barely lit street lamp. She couldn't help saying, "it's really dark here. There aren't many street lamps. It's only on one side. It's too stingy."
"Electricity is tight," Sergei, who also tested the power plant last year, inevitably paid attention to this and responded to his girlfriend: "There are too many factories in Livni now. It introduces excess power from the surrounding states and has been building power plants. Power is still in short supply. It is said that the power of the North nuclear power plant is no longer transmitted to Kiev, but all of it is transferred here. Therefore, officials from both places have come to the president."
Alexander listened with interest and said, "isn't Kiev enough electricity?"
"It's not enough, it's not ready," Sergei said. "If the Rovno nuclear power plant doesn't send power to Kiev, Kiev can only rebuild the power plant and power grid to make up for the shortage. How can the authorities have the money to do these things now?"
Mary then asked, "did the president intervene?"
"We intervened, but the electricity still stayed with us, because we offered high prices and low transmission loss, which could increase the revenue of Rovno nuclear power plant by 20%," Sergei unconsciously substituted himself into the pride of Rovno people: "anyway, there must be more neighborhoods in Kiev that can't light up now than here."
When Sergei finished, Alexander and Mary were a little more proud.
Livni can grab electricity from the capital, which is also very powerful.
But yelina kept silent and said after a moment: "in fact, I occasionally think that if the Soviet Union was still there, it would be better than now."
Everyone is not a fool who doesn't understand. He has received higher education. Coupled with his personal experience over the years, ye Linna suddenly said this and fell into meditation for a time.
In a short silence, Alexander suddenly scolded, "it's all GE's green pool."
Sergei felt Alexander's gnashing of teeth, paused and said: "at that time, the political and economic system of the Soviet Union could not continue, and reform was inevitable."
Mary said weakly, "I don't understand why it is like this?"
"Because what we need is reform," yelina said. "It's not revolution."
Sergei nodded and said, "revolutionary reform will only destroy everything, so we can only start from scratch."
Alexander echoed: "In fact, I don't think our system is unsustainable. Otherwise, why can the Soviet Union be as strong as before? The problem is still the economy, just like the campaign slogan of U.S. President Clinton. You know, the Soviet Union's economic difficulties were far less serious than the Great Depression of the United States in the past 30 years. It was just an economic downturn cycle similar to that of the west, which the West has experienced So many economic cycles have been able to recover, and as long as the methods are appropriate, we can certainly get out of the dilemma. However, that fool of Goldberg completely blamed the economic dilemma on the system and chose to completely push everything down and destroy everything. "
Ye Linna didn't want to say some of her observations, but she still said: "yes, I don't know if you found it. The development of Livni where we are in recent years obviously has the model attribute of planned economy. Everything has strict planning, which is not the set of western free economy at all."
"This is really an absurd magic point," Alexander Avenue said. "Simon westero, the richest man in western society, used the model of planned economy to build a prosperous city on the ruins of the former Soviet Union in just a few years."
Mary listened to the speculation of her lovers and friends and could only be silent.
The next day is Sunday.
Those discussions on the way home last night are only an episode after all, and life will continue.
The four got up early, had breakfast just after dawn, and took the bus to the resort 30 kilometers away from Livni. It only seems that the four people crowded two seats. We can imagine how busy the resort is on Sunday.
This is not without reason.
Because it is winter, overseas tourists are greatly reduced, and the resort has a strong discount for local tourists. In order to facilitate the round-trip, the shuttle bus of the day will continue from 6:00 in the morning to 10:00 in the evening, and the hotel accommodation price of the resort will also be discounted.
Of course, for the four Alexandrians who still belong to the low consumption group, it is best not to stay in a discount hotel unless necessary.
The shuttle bus that lasts until 10:00 p.m. is obviously taking this into account. The purpose is to enable some incompetent tourists to enjoy part of the nightlife of the resort without staying here.
The four people didn't take the earliest bus. They arrived at the hot spring resort at less than 8 o'clock.
When you get off at the station, you can look up and see all kinds of billboards set up on the surrounding station walls, showing various recent activities here.
Skiing is the most popular sport.
The four people stopped patiently to watch. In addition to skiing, there were also performances such as stage drama, ballet and circus as usual, usually in the afternoon and at night.
However, it's not easy to come. Of course, we can't waste it indoors.
There is also an amber craft exhibition.
At the request of the two girls, the four decided to leave and have a look. Rovno is a famous amber producing area. Amber will also be sold in some stores in the urban area, but most of them are still exported. This time, they can only join the fun to see the amber craft exhibition.
After simply determining the schedule, the four hurried to the ski resort.
He came early and entered smoothly.
300 tickets, including the rental of ski props, the total cost is 400 hryvna.
This is still the discounted price.
However, for the four young people, that's the same sentence. They only play two or three times a year at most. Today, they have prepared half a month's salary as the budget.
In the episode, Mary specially used yelina's suggestion yesterday to pay in cash instead of swiping her card.
It really hurts.
After all, I understand that even if they are better than the next, they are only the ordinary people at the bottom, at least in this city.
This was not the case.
None of them came from the lowest family.
Ye Linna can clearly remember that when she was a child, almost every winter, her family can travel to the real ski resort in the Carpathians. Every week, compared with the top ski resorts in the mountains, it is just a pile of artificial gentle slopes.
However, even these gentle slopes, now they also need to be careful before they can come and play once.
Of course, not everyone here is.
Rovno is not short of rich people.
Not to mention the powerful and rich who have made a rapid fortune in recent years, there is another group in Rovno state, which is also very rich, that is, the private Legion under the Westeros system and the family group with fairly good welfare.
This matter is no secret in livnis, or the whole Ukraine, even outside Ukraine, who pays a little attention to these things, probably knows it.
After all, in 1994, the Ukrainian private army fell from the sky and prevented a massacre in Africa, which is well known all over the world.
Then, these people returned to Ukraine and established a private army with a long, common and difficult to remember name. They continued to serve the Westeros system and were active in many parts of the world.
However, enjoying the high welfare of human beings actually means equal obligations.
To go to war is to die.
During the cold war, even if there was a long-term confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, most of the millions of Soviet troops had not been on the battlefield from service to retirement, while the private forces of the Westeros system in Ukraine, even ordinary people, often heard some casualties.
At lunch, Alexander joked with his girlfriend that when they really couldn't live, they would join the private army and find a chance to fight their lives for tens of thousands of dollars as alimony for yelina and their future baby.
Just come back with white eyes.
Alexander, 24, not only has no service experience, but also has missed the best age to be a soldier. Coupled with slight myopia, he can't be hired at all. Therefore, it's better to take advantage of the fact that all the things learned in college have not been returned to the teachers, take an examination of civil servants as soon as possible, or always pay attention to changing a job with more professional counterpart pay. If it's bad, you should climb up in the Nokia factory.
It was a great day anyway.
Until the sunset sank into the horizon, the four people left the ski resort and came to the core area of the resort again. After dinner, they ran to the amber craft exhibition, the last stop in the plan.
The location is in the resort Conference Center just completed this year.
Admission: 30 hryvna.
Xiao Gui.
Amber obviously can't afford it, so the money can only satisfy your eyes. It's hard to avoid feeling worthless, especially Mary, who changed the cash payment mode, almost had to say forget it.
However, all of them have come. They still buy tickets.
Then it felt like a worthwhile trip.
First of all, the exquisite coated paper printed manual attached to the ticket is worth collecting even if it is obviously suspected of advertising.
Then there are booths in the Convention Center, which are full of amber crafts, amber jewelry, amber sculptures and so on.
Unfortunately, I can't afford any.
Unknowingly, she walked to an amber jewelry stall. Ye Linna was attracted by a heart-shaped xuepo pendant and stopped for a while. Unfortunately, the female teller of the booth just kept a polite smile. She clearly saw her intention and didn't take the initiative to invite Ye Linna to try it on.
Alexander, as a boyfriend, hesitated several times and didn't help.
What can I do if I try, but I still can't afford it.
Moreover, in case of collision, they won't want to leave today. The key is to sell themselves and can't afford to pay.
After leaving the booth here, ye Linna stayed for a while, as if she could read more when she was closer to the blood.
When I was about to leave, I heard a crisp girl's voice: "Wow, what a beautiful pendant, or heart-shaped, I'll take this."
Then there was the female teller's respectful and almost humble voice: "OK, miss, do you want to try it first?"
"I'm wearing a turtleneck sweater. Wrap it directly and go back and try again."
The female teller respectfully promised again, "yes."
Alexander looked at it together. It turned out that it was a group of men and women surrounded by a young girl. Although the girl was only wearing ordinary light pink high-collar sweater and washed jeans in the venue room, the bullying momentum that I didn't know whether it was born or later still made the surrounding people aware that she was the center of that group.
Not to mention appearance.
Just a side glance, even a woman like yelina will inevitably move a bit.
Yelina could also hear that Livni had another group of women with a very special identity.
Simon westero's woman.
However, although the identity of a super rich woman will only arouse the envy of most people, the girl next to them will not remind them of this at all. She just can't help guessing what kind of family can cultivate such a big lady who can break people's heart at a glance.

They arrived at the hot spring resort at less than 8 o'clock.When you get off at the station, you can look up and see all kinds of billboards set up on the surrounding station walls, showing various recent activities here.Skiing is the most popular sport.The four people stopped patiently to watch. In addition to skiing, there were also performances such as stage drama, ballet and circus as usual, usually in the afternoon and at night.However, it's not easy to come. Of course, we can't waste it indoors.There is also an amber craft exhibition.At the request of the two girls, the four decided to leave and have a look. Rovno is a famous amber producing area. Amber will also be sold in some stores in the urban area, but most of them are still exported. This time, they can only join the fun to see the amber craft exhibition.After simply determining the schedule, the four hurried to the ski resort.He came early and entered smoothly.300 tickets, including the rental of ski props, the total cost is 400 hryvna.This is still the discounted price.However, for the four young people, that's the same sentence. They only play two or three times a year at most. Today, they have prepared half a month's salary as the budget.In the episode, Mary specially used yelina's suggestion yesterday to pay in cash instead of swiping her card.It really hurts.After all, I understand that even if they are better than the next, they are only the ordinary people at the bottom, at least in this city.This was not the case.None of them came from the lowest family.Ye Linna can clearly remember that when she was a child, almost every winter, her family can travel to the real ski resort in the Carpathians. Every week, compared with the top ski resorts in the mountains, it is just a pile of artificial gentle slopes.However, even these gentle slopes, now they also need to be careful before they can come and play once.Of course, not everyone here is.Rovno is not short of rich people.Not to mention the powerful and rich who have made a rapid fortune in recent years, there is another group in Rovno state, which is also very rich, that is, the private Legion under the Westeros system and the family group with fairly good welfare.This matter is no secret in livnis, or the whole Ukraine, even outside Ukraine, who pays a little attention to these things, probably knows it.After all, in 1994, the Ukrainian private army fell from the sky and prevented a massacre in Africa, which is well known all over the world.Then, these people returned to Ukraine and established a private army with a long, common and difficult to remember name. They continued to serve the Westeros system and were active in many parts of the world.However, enjoying the high welfare of human beings actually means equal obligations.To go to war is to die.During the cold war, even if there was a long-term confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, most of the millions of Soviet troops had not been on the battlefield from service to retirement, while the private forces of the Westeros system in Ukraine, even ordinary people, often heard some casualties.At lunch, Alexander joked with his girlfriend that when they really couldn't live, they would join the private army and find a chance to fight their lives for tens of thousands of dollars as alimony for yelina and their future baby.Just come back with white eyes.Alexander, 24, not only has no service experience, but also has missed the best age to be a soldier. Coupled with slight myopia, he can't be hired at all. Therefore, it's better to take advantage of the fact that all the things learned in college have not been returned to the teachers, take an examination of civil servants as soon as possible, or always pay attention to changing a job with more professional counterpart pay. If it's bad, you should climb up in the Nokia factory.It was a great day anyway.Until the sunset sank into the horizon, the four people left the ski resort and came to the core area of the resort again. After dinner, they ran to the amber craft exhibition, the last stop in the plan.The location is in the resort Conference Center just completed this year.Admission: 30 hryvna.Xiao Gui.Amber obviously can't afford it, so the money can only satisfy your eyes. It's hard to avoid feeling worthless, especially Mary, who changed the cash payment mode, almost had to say forget it.However, all of them have come. They still buy tickets.Then it felt like a worthwhile trip.First of all, the exquisite coated paper printed manual attached to the ticket is worth collecting even if it is obviously suspected of advertising.Then there are booths in the Convention Center, which are full of amber crafts, amber jewelry, amber sculptures and so on.Unfortunately, I can't afford any.Unknowingly, she walked to an amber jewelry stall. Ye Linna was attracted by a heart-shaped xuepo pendant and stopped for a while. Unfortunately, the female teller of the booth just kept a polite smile. She clearly saw her intention and didn't take the initiative to invite Ye Linna to try it on.Alexander, as a boyfriend, hesitated several times and didn't help.What can I do if I try, but I still can't afford it.Moreover, in case of collision, they won't want to leave today. The key is to sell themselves and can't afford to pay.After leaving the booth here, ye Linna stayed for a while, as if she could read more when she was closer to the blood.When I was about to leave, I heard a crisp girl's voice: "Wow, what a beautiful pendant, or heart-shaped, I'll take this."Then there was the female teller's respectful and almost humble voice: "OK, miss, do you want to try it first?""I'm wearing a turtleneck sweater. Wrap it directly and go back and try again."The female teller respectfully promised again, "yes."Alexander looked at it together. It turned out that it was a group of men and women surrounded by a young girl. Although the girl was only wearing ordinary light pink high-collar sweater and washed jeans in the venue room, the bullying momentum that I didn't know whether it was born or later still made the surrounding people aware that she was the center of that group.Not to mention appearance.Just a side glance, even a woman like yelina will inevitably move a bit.Yelina could also hear that Livni had another group of women with a very special identity.Simon westero's woman.However, although the identity of a super rich woman will only arouse the envy of most people, the girl next to them will not remind them of this at all. She just can't help guessing what kind of family can cultivate such a big lady who can break people's heart at a glance.
