When Simon appeared at the reception in the downstairs hall, the atmosphere was very lively. A little girl who didn't know anything about the stranger seemed to be at ease in the crowd. He just didn't know what to say, but also made everyone laugh.
See Simon, was a girl in the arms of the little guy immediately leaned over, calling dad to embrace.
The atmosphere was strange again.
Simon westero, of course you all know him.
Everyone at the scene is here tonight for each other.
But just now, no one mentioned that this lovely little girl was actually the daughter of westero. Some guests who knew about Simon's personal situation were even more puzzled, but they didn't have any doubt. It's normal that one or two illegitimate daughters appear in this young man's life style.
Simon took Nina and saw that she put a nut muffin in her hand to her mouth, so he ate it in one mouthful and bit the child's hand, which made the little girl giggle.
After a friendly interaction, Simon whispered a few words to the child.
In fact, the little girl is very sensible taught by shuerxijinna, but her character is totally opposite to her mother's extroversion. She is not afraid of anything and likes to pester Simon. However, when Simon solemnly said that he had business to talk about, he immediately nodded his head obediently and let Simon send her back to girl a's arms. He also waved goodbye to Simon.
When girl a left with her baby in her arms, Simon began to greet everyone in the hall.
This evening, we will mainly attend the senior officials of Leningrad state where St. Petersburg is located, as well as the backbone enterprises of vistro system in Russia.
Simon is familiar with the historical trend of Russia.
After the millennium, Russia was basically controlled by the St. Petersburg gang for 20 years.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Simon focused the business of westero system in Russia on St. Petersburg, rather than Moscow, where oligarchs gather. Most of the companies are headquartered in St. Petersburg, including alpha group, which is under the direct or indirect control of Mikhail Friedman.
Over the years, we can imagine the relationship between the westero system and the St. Petersburg gang that has not yet taken shape.
Because Simon will be present, several major political factions in St. Petersburg, who are clearly at loggerheads with each other, whether it is the outgoing team of the current mayor of St. Petersburg or the newly elected team of the new mayor, will be present at the reception tonight.
And always pay attention to the movement of a young man in the hall.
After all, the wealth and power of this young man are too great. Those oligarchs in Russia are just children before they are right. With Simon westero's operation in Ukraine as a reference, it's hard to say whether St. Petersburg will become the next Livni.
If that's the case, it won't be harmful to make friends with the other party at this time, and the other party's attitude towards everyone tonight is likely to represent the future political pattern of St. Petersburg.
Simon can generally understand the mentality of the people at the scene, but he is more cautious.
After more than half an hour of greeting and entertainment, Simon finally seemed to inadvertently come to a short, middle-aged man with rigid face and sparse hair, and raised his glass to the other side: "Hello, Vladimir."
The middle-aged man didn't seem surprised that Simon called his name directly. He also raised his glass: "Hello, Mr. westrow."
Simon grinned and said, "I know something about you, the grey bishop of Smolny. Oh, after sobchuck left, are you sure what you want to do next? Stay in the city government, or something else? "
Smolny palace is the seat of the city government of St. Petersburg, where Lenin directed the October Revolution.
The grey bishop of smirny, obviously, is roughly in charge.
This is a nickname given to someone by all walks of life in St. Petersburg in recent years. Because Sobchak was only a university professor and had no ability to govern, many affairs of the municipal government were actually managed by his former student and deputy mayor.
It's also a sign of someone's ability.
The middle-aged man heard Simon mention the title of "gray bishop of Smolny Palace" with a little ridicule. He still had a little introverted smile, shook his head and said, "not yet, but I'm sure I won't stay in the city government."
Simon came straight to the point again: "are you interested in working for me?"
The middle-aged man finally had a surprise: "hmm?"
Simon said: "you know, it's a common practice for Western politicians to serve the country for a few years and then take up a private career after leaving."
"I don't know much about business, Mr. westlow."
"Everyone does everything from scratch. There is no natural person who can do everything. Besides, working for me doesn't have to be in business."
The middle-aged man hesitated a little, looked at his mentor sobchuck not far away, looked over again soon, and said, "Mr. westero, I admit I'm very excited about your invitation, but if you want me to work for you, you need to agree to me first.""What?"
"Use your influence in Moscow to help Anatole out of his predicament at this time."
Anatole is the name of sobchuck.
Anatole Sobchak, although he has not achieved much in the past few years, in fact, there are not many blemishes. However, because of its radical political orientation, it has unconsciously provoked many people, which led to the election defeat this time.
According to Russian political practice, the next step is liquidation.
Simon also knew about it in advance.
Now Sobchak has been faced with various lawsuits, one of which is well-established. He uses his authority to help his relatives solve the housing problem.
Tut.
Compared with Moscow's oligarchs who are crazy about embezzling state-owned assets, the mayor of Russia's second largest city has solved the housing problem for his family. In fact, he has bought a public house at a lower price in the process of privatization in recent years.
Can this mayor fail a little more?
Simon nodded directly: "no problem, but you can do it yourself."
"Well?"
Simon said: "I have just talked with some people. You will be invited to Moscow soon. Your position will not be too low. At that time, you can use your authority to help Mr. Sobchak out of trouble."
Some middle-aged people didn't respond for a while.
Simon raised his hand, patted each other on the shoulder and said, "Vladimir, one day you will understand, and then you can think that what I just said was not said, or it was just a joke. But don't turn down an invitation from Moscow. "
With that, Simon stopped talking and turned to others.
In the past, one of the reasons why someone became Yeltsin's final successor was actually a betrayal. After entering Moscow, in order to help his mentor who suffered from political strife get out of prison, he secretly used his strength to send him out of Russia, and then calmly went to Yeltsin to surrender himself.
Because Sobchak was also an opponent of Yeltsin.
As a result, Yeltsin didn't pursue the matter. Instead, he saw the loyalty of his former mentor and boss, and finally made up his mind.
Right now.
No one knows what the less than a minute conversation in the eastern suburbs of St. Petersburg means.
Simon stayed at the reception for more than ten minutes and left.
The next day was June 1st.
Saturday.
Simon set off again early in the morning for the capital of the state of Rovno in northwestern Ukraine. The airport invested by westero system has been put into operation, and there is no need to transfer from Kiev.
Another weeding operation of the westrow system in the state of Rovno was launched before Simon arrived.
Unlike Russia, which has temporarily stabilized, Ukraine's economic downturn still shows no sign of stopping.
According to the domestic economic data of Ukraine in the past few months this year, Ukraine's GDP in 1996 is expected to drop by about 10% compared with that in 1995.
It is always difficult for ordinary people to intuitively understand these economic data, but if they are in it, they will understand what it means for a country's GDP to fall by 10% a year?
Disaster!
In Ukraine, the unemployment rate continues to rise, criminal activities soar, domestic political turmoil, and a large number of people who have no hope flee. The situation is even more miserable than that of the great depression in the United States in the 1930s.
In this state, the state of Rovno, located in the northwest of Ukraine, has almost become the only bright color of the country because of the unremitting efforts of the vistro system.
For ordinary people, this is the best place to live.
As a result, the population of Livni, the capital of the state of Rovno, has continued to soar to more than 700000. After all, although it seems like a better destination to flee to Western Europe, most people will not be willing to leave their hometown if they can stay at home.
On the other hand, in the eyes of others, the vibrant state of loveNo is undoubtedly a piece of fat.
Simon only needs to get the maximum control of this area. As for the interests, he never thought about being exclusive, or even making any profit from this dilapidated land.
I don't think so.
Therefore, there are many projects here that Simon should give away without any less benefits.
And deliberately give more.
However, because of greed, some people in this country, like those oligarchs in Russia, are so unscrupulous that they think they can put anything into their pockets.
So I kept trying to get more from this area.
To be exact.
It's actually getting more from Simon.
In Simon's present position, there is no more pursuit of wealth. Simon's attitude towards wealth has never changed.
Mine is mine.I'll give it to you. It's yours.
If someone thinks that Simon westero has too much, it doesn't matter to grab a little bit, then they should be prepared to break their head, blood and even pieces.
When Simon's private plane landed at the airport in the western suburb of livny, the mowing operation was basically finished, leaving only some special matters for Simon to decide for himself.
This time, I didn't enter the villa in the south of the city.
Simon and his party left the airport in the western suburbs and went directly through the city to the hot spring estate in the north of the city.
The reason for summer is Saturday. The prosperity and vitality of this sunny city are more obvious.
Also in the sun, some things can not be hidden.
For example, a five story building on the street in the northern part of the city where Simon's motorcade specially passed still has a shocking dark appearance. It seems that there has been a fire recently. When you press the window, you can still smell the burning smell in the air.
Three days ago, at two o'clock in the morning, the building had just experienced an arrest operation.
Rifni police launched a strong attack to remove a gang stronghold in the song and dance hall inside the building. During the attack, there was an exchange of fire. One of the police was killed and two were seriously injured. The song and dance hall also caught fire during the exchange of fire. In the open news, three gang members were killed and seven injured.
The actual situation is only known to the incinerator operator of the City funeral home who was called to work overtime before dawn.
As for the inside story.
It's Simon who's cutting off some tentacles that shouldn't go into the city.
Before the operation, another deputy mayor who was transferred to Livni at the beginning of the year was arrested by the police. Meanwhile, Celia Miller personally negotiated with Kiev on behalf of Simon, eventually forcing some people to compromise.
It's just a part of the weeding.
The key is still within the vistro system in the state of Rovno, especially ufms.
Simon's control of this private army is far more strict than that of the commercial sector. To put it bluntly, the commercial layout of the vestro system in Ukraine is basically based on this private army. Simon turns a blind eye to anyone who wants to make money in the state of Rovno, if it's not too much, but Simmons is not polite to anyone who dares to try to add sand to the army.
This is the red line.
Therefore, this time, a group of restless people were cleaned up again without hesitation, and six of them directly evaporated.
Arriving at the hot spring manor in the north of livny, we are well prepared.
Ufms directly dispatched 300 elite soldiers with live ammunition to stay around the manor. The manor was also inspected repeatedly by the private security team of the Westeros family who arrived in advance to ensure that there were no eavesdropping devices or security risks.
Simon gets out of the car in front of the main villa in the manor. Celia Miller and her assistant Emily Joplin greet him.
There are also eight girls standing in front of the villa in two rows in the uniform of the waiters.
It's like the scene when Simon first arrived at the villa in the south of livny.
This is the second batch.
It's actually grace who picked it out.
Elite started the new year of elite world model competition in April, and the finals are expected to be held in July. Because of Simon's layout in Ukraine, and the quality of girls in this country is really high, grace, who keeps up with men's pace, has also opened a sub competition in Ukraine.
During this period, I helped Simon to select some girls as a collection.
That's the eight not far away.
It seems that the girls are about the same age as the original six girls, the same young, the same tall, giving Simon the feeling like a group of small scallions.
After greeting, Simon didn't immediately pay attention to the girls. Instead, he noticed that Celia had something to talk about with herself, so he took her straight into the villa and came to a study.
"Boss, before you came here, I got a weird call from Moscow." Celia said, had handed over a folder, and then said: "the other party said that her name is Tatyana. She just met her boss last night. She hopes that after the boss finishes his trip to Ukraine, she can find time to go to Moscow."
Simon took the folder from Celia, and there was only one page with a list of time and place.
After a while, I quickly understood what was going on.
It's understandable.
Simon's words with Yeltsin's daughter Tatyana last night were too much involved. In depth, this is almost a direct control of a country's future, and it is not a small and dilapidated country like Ukraine, but a large power whose strength still cannot be underestimated.
This is one aspect.
On the other hand, Simon talks about the future arrangement of the Yeltsin family. In a simple way, it's hard to convince people.
So we need some face-to-face communication.
The object of communication this time is no longer Tatyana last night. Since Simon is invited to Moscow directly, it is obvious who to meet in private.Looking at the address on the file again, Simon tells Celia to get a lighter.
Direct ignition.
I didn't plan to keep the appointment.
The choice has already been given out. How Yeltsin chooses in the future is the other party's business. What's more, Simon believes that someone has little choice in the future. Now, if you meddle too much, there's a good chance that it will backfire.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Because Sobchak was only a university professor and had no ability to govern, many affairs of the municipal government were actually managed by his former student and deputy mayor. It's also a sign of someone's ability. The middle-aged man heard Simon mention the title of "gray bishop of Smolny Palace" with a little ridicule. He still had a little introverted smile, shook his head and said, "not yet, but I'm sure I won't stay in the city government." Simon came straight to the point again: "are you interested in working for me?" The middle-aged man finally had a surprise: "hmm?" Simon said: "you know, it's a common practice for Western politicians to serve the country for a few years and then take up a private career after leaving." "I don't know much about business, Mr. westlow." "Everyone does everything from scratch. There is no natural person who can do everything. Besides, working for me doesn't have to be in business." The middle-aged man hesitated a little, looked at his mentor sobchuck not far away, looked over again soon, and said, "Mr. westero, I admit I'm very excited about your invitation, but if you want me to work for you, you need to agree to me first.""What?" "Use your influence in Moscow to help Anatole out of his predicament at this time." Anatole is the name of sobchuck. Anatole Sobchak, although he has not achieved much in the past few years, in fact, there are not many blemishes. However, because of its radical political orientation, it has unconsciously provoked many people, which led to the election defeat this time. According to Russian political practice, the next step is liquidation. Simon also knew about it in advance. Now Sobchak has been faced with various lawsuits, one of which is well-established. He uses his authority to help his relatives solve the housing problem. Tut. Compared with Moscow's oligarchs who are crazy about embezzling state-owned assets, the mayor of Russia's second largest city has solved the housing problem for his family. In fact, he has bought a public house at a lower price in the process of privatization in recent years. Can this mayor fail a little more? Simon nodded directly: "no problem, but you can do it yourself." "Well?" Simon said: "I have just talked with some people. You will be invited to Moscow soon. Your position will not be too low. At that time, you can use your authority to help Mr. Sobchak out of trouble." Some middle-aged people didn't respond for a while. Simon raised his hand, patted each other on the shoulder and said, "Vladimir, one day you will understand, and then you can think that what I just said was not said, or it was just a joke. But don't turn down an invitation from Moscow. " With that, Simon stopped talking and turned to others. In the past, one of the reasons why someone became Yeltsin's final successor was actually a betrayal. After entering Moscow, in order to help his mentor who suffered from political strife get out of prison, he secretly used his strength to send him out of Russia, and then calmly went to Yeltsin to surrender himself. Because Sobchak was also an opponent of Yeltsin. As a result, Yeltsin didn't pursue the matter. Instead, he saw the loyalty of his former mentor and boss, and finally made up his mind. Right now. No one knows what the less than a minute conversation in the eastern suburbs of St. Petersburg means. Simon stayed at the reception for more than ten minutes and left. The next day was June 1st. Saturday. Simon set off again early in the morning for the capital of the state of Rovno in northwestern Ukraine. The airport invested by westero system has been put into operation, and there is no need to transfer from Kiev. Another weeding operation of the westrow system in the state of Rovno was launched before Simon arrived. Unlike Russia, which has temporarily stabilized, Ukraine's economic downturn still shows no sign of stopping. According to the domestic economic data of Ukraine in the past few months this year, Ukraine's GDP in 1996 is expected to drop by about 10% compared with that in 1995. It is always difficult for ordinary people to intuitively understand these economic data, but if they are in it, they will understand what it means for a country's GDP to fall by 10% a year? Disaster! In Ukraine, the unemployment rate continues to rise, criminal activities soar, domestic political turmoil, and a large number of people who have no hope flee. The situation is even more miserable than that of the great depression in the United States in the 1930s. In this state, the state of Rovno, located in the northwest of Ukraine, has almost become the only bright color of the country because of the unremitting efforts of the vistro system. For ordinary people, this is the best place to live. As a result, the population of Livni, the capital of the state of Rovno, has continued to soar to more than 700000. After all, although it seems like a better destination to flee to Western Europe, most people will not be willing to leave their hometown if they can stay at home. On the other hand, in the eyes of others, the vibrant state of loveNo is undoubtedly a piece of fat. Simon only needs to get the maximum control of this area. As for the interests, he never thought about being exclusive, or even making any profit from this dilapidated land. I don't think so. Therefore, there are many projects here that Simon should give away without any less benefits. And deliberately give more. However, because of greed, some people in this country, like those oligarchs in Russia, are so unscrupulous that they think they can put anything into their pockets. So I kept trying to get more from this area. To be exact. It's actually getting more from Simon. In Simon's present position, there is no more pursuit of wealth. Simon's attitude towards wealth has never changed. Mine is mine.I'll give it to you. It's yours. If someone thinks that Simon westero has too much, it doesn't matter to grab a little bit, then they should be prepared to break their head, blood and even pieces. When Simon's private plane landed at the airport in the western suburb of livny, the mowing operation was basically finished, leaving only some special matters for Simon to decide for himself. This time, I didn't enter the villa in the south of the city. Simon and his party left the airport in the western suburbs and went directly through the city to the hot spring estate in the north of the city. The reason for summer is Saturday. The prosperity and vitality of this sunny city are more obvious. Also in the sun, some things can not be hidden. For example, a five story building on the street in the northern part of the city where Simon's motorcade specially passed still has a shocking dark appearance. It seems that there has been a fire recently. When you press the window, you can still smell the burning smell in the air. Three days ago, at two o'clock in the morning, the building had just experienced an arrest operation. Rifni police launched a strong attack to remove a gang stronghold in the song and dance hall inside the building. During the attack, there was an exchange of fire. One of the police was killed and two were seriously injured. The song and dance hall also caught fire during the exchange of fire. In the open news, three gang members were killed and seven injured. The actual situation is only known to the incinerator operator of the City funeral home who was called to work overtime before dawn. As for the inside story. It's Simon who's cutting off some tentacles that shouldn't go into the city. Before the operation, another deputy mayor who was transferred to Livni at the beginning of the year was arrested by the police. Meanwhile, Celia Miller personally negotiated with Kiev on behalf of Simon, eventually forcing some people to compromise. It's just a part of the weeding. The key is still within the vistro system in the state of Rovno, especially ufms. Simon's control of this private army is far more strict than that of the commercial sector. To put it bluntly, the commercial layout of the vestro system in Ukraine is basically based on this private army. Simon turns a blind eye to anyone who wants to make money in the state of Rovno, if it's not too much, but Simmons is not polite to anyone who dares to try to add sand to the army. This is the red line. Therefore, this time, a group of restless people were cleaned up again without hesitation, and six of them directly evaporated. Arriving at the hot spring manor in the north of livny, we are well prepared. Ufms directly dispatched 300 elite soldiers with live ammunition to stay around the manor. The manor was also inspected repeatedly by the private security team of the Westeros family who arrived in advance to ensure that there were no eavesdropping devices or security risks. Simon gets out of the car in front of the main villa in the manor. Celia Miller and her assistant Emily Joplin greet him. There are also eight girls standing in front of the villa in two rows in the uniform of the waiters. It's like the scene when Simon first arrived at the villa in the south of livny. This is the second batch. It's actually grace who picked it out. Elite started the new year of elite world model competition in April, and the finals are expected to be held in July. Because of Simon's layout in Ukraine, and the quality of girls in this country is really high, grace, who keeps up with men's pace, has also opened a sub competition in Ukraine. During this period, I helped Simon to select some girls as a collection. That's the eight not far away. It seems that the girls are about the same age as the original six girls, the same young, the same tall, giving Simon the feeling like a group of small scallions. After greeting, Simon didn't immediately pay attention to the girls. Instead, he noticed that Celia had something to talk about with herself, so he took her straight into the villa and came to a study. "Boss, before you came here, I got a weird call from Moscow." Celia said, had handed over a folder, and then said: "the other party said that her name is Tatyana. She just met her boss last night. She hopes that after the boss finishes his trip to Ukraine, she can find time to go to Moscow." Simon took the folder from Celia, and there was only one page with a list of time and place. After a while, I quickly understood what was going on. It's understandable. Simon's words with Yeltsin's daughter Tatyana last night were too much involved. In depth, this is almost a direct control of a country's future, and it is not a small and dilapidated country like Ukraine, but a large power whose strength still cannot be underestimated. This is one aspect. On the other hand, Simon talks about the future arrangement of the Yeltsin family. In a simple way, it's hard to convince people. So we need some face-to-face communication. The object of communication this time is no longer Tatyana last night. Since Simon is invited to Moscow directly, it is obvious who to meet in private.Looking at the address on the file again, Simon tells Celia to get a lighter. Direct ignition. I didn't plan to keep the appointment. The choice has already been given out. How Yeltsin chooses in the future is the other party's business. What's more, Simon believes that someone has little choice in the future. Now, if you meddle too much, there's a good chance that it will backfire.
