At the present stage, in addition to the Rovno Gang controlled by the westero system and the petrovsk Gang controlled by Kiev, another important political and economic force in Ukraine is the Donetsk Gang based in Donetsk, an important industrial town in eastern Ukraine.
According to Simon's information, Ukraine's prime minister Pavlo razarenko was assassinated. It was yev sherban, the leader of the Donetsk Gang, who was behind the assassination.
As for the reason, it is still for the benefit.
Unlike western Ukraine, which is dominated by agriculture, eastern Ukraine concentrates most of the country's energy industrial assets, especially Donetsk, where 90% of Ukraine's coal resources are stored.
Razarenko has been trying to get in touch with the Donetsk Gang since he was only Minister of energy two years ago. This year, he was promoted to Prime Minister of Ukraine successfully. This greedy politician, who is famous for losing several layers of skin in any passing project, naturally will not be restrained any more. He joined his partner Yulia Tymoshenko to try to carve up the steel and coal industries in Donetsk, As a result, it encountered the most fierce rebound of the Donetsk gang.
Just yesterday, July 18, on his way to the airport, razarenko was hit by a car bomb, and he was not in danger.
As a latecomer, Simon also knows the follow-up.
After all, even in a small country like Ukraine, the assassination of No. 2 will certainly attract the attention of the international community.
In history, after this incident, probably at the end of the same year, razarenko's family returned a tooth for a tooth, and yef sherban was not as lucky as razarenko. Sherban and his wife were screened by several professional killers together.
This is actually the current cruel situation in the former Soviet Union.
It's not just that the business oligarchs who took advantage of the situation in this period didn't have a clean foundation. Even the middle and lower classes, in order to compete for an enterprise, a real estate, or even a department store, may trigger a fire. In order to prevent violent robbery from happening at any time as far as possible, the main commercial places in many big cities of the former Soviet Union will have bright security guards with AK47 hanging directly,
in fact, it is not clear whether they are security guards or gangsters.
It's like a wild age without rules.
In a high-end club not open to the public in the north of Livni City, Simon stood with a glass of red wine in front of the wall specially hung with a map of Ukraine. Next to him were Sergei komorov, head of oldek company, Kerim jelevyanko, President of ufms, Andrei Smirnov, governor of lovno state, and Alexander lyudayev, head of Livni media People.
After sipping a sip of red wine, Simon drew another hand toward the location of the state of Rovno on the map and said to the people around him: "I know that you have become more and more dissatisfied with the fact that you want to limit your power to the state of Rovno and want to expand more and more, but now you should see that it is not an easy thing. The petrovsk Gang controls the political power of the country, and the Donetsk Gang inherits most of the industrial heritages of the former Soviet Union. Compared with you, what do you have? "
Simon said so, and saw jereevyanko slightly pick his eyebrows at him, and said with a smile, "yes, you have me."
Everyone chuckled.
Simon waited for a moment, but shook his head and said, "but I have to pour cold water on you. I'm not interested in competing with those people for the assets you value, because I can't see that with such time and energy, I can find hundreds of more profitable investment projects in other parts of the world."
Think about the latest news about Simon's $1.3 trillion personal fortune. Everyone in the reception hall has no way to refute it.
What's more, everyone knows that Simon's fundamental appeal to the state of Rovno lies in one thing: the Ukrainian front line military service company (ufms), a private armed force launched two years ago in the Rwandese war and continuously active, is the fundamental reason why this young man with a fortune of one trillion will appear here.
Otherwise, as Simon just said, he doesn't look up to the tattered frontier state of Northwest Ukraine.
And These people.
It's a fact that Simon westero doesn't look up to them. Another fact is that the greatest reliance of all the people on the scene is actually the young man standing in the middle of the crowd. If there is no other party, the people on the scene, or just an ordinary businessman who can only do small business in a corner, or just a veteran who does not know where he will eventually go after retirement, or just a politician on the edge who has been overturned in a gust of wind and waves
Now, they are the Rovno gang that no one in the country can ignore.
Even if the political forces can't compare with the petrovsk gang and the economic strength is not as good as the Donetsk Gang, with the support of the towering tree of the westero system, who can be sure where the Rovno Gang, which has been silent and developing rapidly, will go in the future when other forces are fighting hard for various interests?
In the reception hall, Simon finished pouring cold water, took another sip of red wine, looked at the map of Ukraine in front of him, and suddenly asked, "do you know why I can have more than a trillion dollars of wealth?"Everyone looked at each other.
They haven't really considered this question seriously. In the face of Simon's question, they didn't speak rashly even if they had some ideas in their mind.
Simon did not wait for the answer, nor was he disappointed. He said to himself, "because I am good at taking the road that others have not taken, and developing industries that others have not noticed. The most typical one is the Internet. The term Internet actually appeared in the 1970s, but it was not until 20 years later that the Internet began to break out. It is no exaggeration to say that the westero system dominated by itself In this outbreak, Cisco, AOL and igrit constitute a whole industrial chain of network equipment providers, network service providers and network content providers. Now, the combined market value of these three companies is more than US $1 trillion. Compared with the national wealth equivalent to five times of GDP, the whole Ukraine is worth US $200 billion. ”
speaking of this, Simon glanced at the expressions of the people around him. Some people were fascinated, some were surprised, some were thoughtful, and he laughed again. Then he said, "I'm not showing you anything, but pointing out a way. The assets left over from the Soviet era, as well as other resources of the country, seem to be a very delicious piece of fat, but if you want to get it, it will cost you a lot, and you may even lose your life. Moreover, once you set your goal on these things, you will spend most of your time fighting in the future, which will hinder your progress. Then, the question comes again. Apart from those people are fighting for, what other precious wealth in Ukraine has not been noticed by razarenko? "
Another question.
This time, there was no more silence. Sergei komorov quickly said, "Simon, I remember you once said that it should be Well, population. "
Simon raised his hand and snapped his finger: "yes, the population, more than 50 million people, is definitely the most valuable and unimportant wealth in Ukraine. It is also a road that you can follow like me, which others have not taken."
With that said, Simon no longer looked at the reactions of both sides, but drew a virtual line towards the gray area around the map of Ukraine, and then said: "first of all, we should start from the overall situation. On April 15, 1994, the world trade organization was established, which is an important time node, a node of accelerating globalization of the world economy. The most obvious result of globalization is that capital will naturally flow to cheaper regions, such as China, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe. In contrast, although the human resources in Eastern Europe are equally cheap, they are not competitive compared with those in Asia. As for the reasons, you should understand. "
Around Simon, whether he really understood it or not, he showed a knowing smile.
China's reform and opening up has been nearly 20 years, and Southeast Asia has always been the key support object of western countries in order to contain China. Therefore, the industrial foundation is relatively solid, and the cost of various industries is very low, which is the best flow of capital at this stage.
It's not that you can't catch up.
The most important reason is that at this stage, Eastern Europe is too chaotic. Not to mention Yugoslavia and other countries in the civil war, even Russia or Ukraine, there are no suitable conditions for introducing foreign capital to develop their economy.
The business environment is really bad!
If it is not for the super oligarchs at the level of westero system, ordinary businessmen want to invest in these countries. From officials to gangs, they peel their skin layer by layer. In the end, not to mention whether enterprises can be run successfully, whether people can leave safely is a problem.
Simon gets used to reading the local newspaper when he arrives.
Just before the afternoon reception, in addition to the news about razarenko's assassination in today's Kiev guide, there was another news that attracted Simon's attention: a German businessman opened a flour processing factory in Kiev three years ago. After the factory was built, it was coveted by the local gangs. If he wanted to extort 30% of his shares, the businessman would not agree, And then he was shot in the street last year.
The content of the news is that Kiev police announced that the case was officially solved and the suspects were brought to justice.
However, on the surface, it seems that justice has been done, but most overseas businessmen will probably give up the idea of investing in Ukraine when they see this news.
Simon flashed the news in his mind and continued: "no matter what the other states and counties in Ukraine are, the state of Rovno is different. Now that we have complete control of this area, we should make the best use of it. Compared with Asia, Ukraine has an absolute advantage in geography. In terms of raw materials, as the granary of Europe, no country can compare with Ukraine. As for manpower, as long as the state of Rovno provides enough opportunities, there is no need to expand outward, the public will naturally gather around us. Relying on the rapidly advancing process of globalization and taking advantage of Ukraine's population advantage, we can build the state of Rovno into a European factory. Clothing, furniture, electronics, food and so on can be set foot in and have the potential to do well. "
To give you more time to digest, Simon took a few sips of red wine, took a look at the people who were quite moved, and then said, "besides, once the plan is achieved, there will be another result, that is, you will get the support of the public. Think about it. Both the petrovsk gang and the Donetsk gang are just dividing up the country's assets and ignoring the life and death of the people. However, Rovno can create countless job opportunities and enable countless people to live a rich and stable life. It is self-evident who the public will support at that time. All in all, as long as you follow this plan and succeed, this country will be yours for ten years at most. "Simon has never been too talkative. However, this does not mean that Simon is not good at speech and incitement. At the end of the speech, all the people on the scene were filled with emotion.
But frankly, it's still just a pie that Simon drew out of the background.
As Simon said at the beginning, if he wants to make money, he will not look at Ukraine as a turbulent place. There are too many better investment targets.
On the other hand, Simon's idea of a "European factory" has long existed.
The original idea was to include the whole of Ukraine. Later, it was found that it was not realistic at all, so it was reduced to the state of Rovno, the complete control point of the vistro system.
In the past two years, except for ufms, Simon has been laying the foundation for this project intentionally or unconsciously.
Now, the state of Rovno has been completely controlled by the westero system, with stable social order and superior business environment. Next, with the expansion of Lazarenko's power, it has become a threat to the Kuchma family, and the internal strife of the Kiev authorities has intensified, so there is no time to worry about the state of Rovno. Therefore, it will be the best time for the rapid expansion of the Rovno gang.
Moreover, the Southeast Asian economic crisis, which will start next year, will slow down the flow of European and American capital to Asia. After the economic crisis spreads to the whole world, the trend of the transfer of Western real industries to lower cost regions will intensify, which in turn provides the best external conditions for Simon's "European factory" plan.
With both internal and external conditions, the next step is implementation.
It is easier to know than to do.
The world has never lacked the best program planning, and few of them can succeed in the end. The key is that it is difficult to implement even seven or eight points of a very good program.
Therefore, it remains to be seen how far the Rovno Gang, which Simon helped to build up, can go.
It's a success. Everybody's happy.
If you fail, it doesn't matter.
Simon didn't leave the club north of livny until 11 o'clock in the night because of a lot of discussion about the "European factory" plan.
I didn't go to Chengnan villa nearby.
Yekaterina's three girls over there are not in Ukraine. Instead, they went to Atlanta to watch the Olympic Games. After two years with Simon, Simon's restrictions on the three growing girls are getting less and less. A few days ago, she mentioned them through Celia and Simon, and readily agreed.
Of course, Simon will not talk about coming to Ukraine recently.
In the morning, after guessing that Simon would come, the girls of hot spring manor were excited all day. As a result, someone didn't show up late at night, thinking that he might not come. So when Simon arrived at the manor in the early morning, most of them had already fallen asleep.
Only a few people, such as Eve besonovskova, are still waiting quietly, including Lyudmila besonovskova, who got the exact hint from her sister. Eve obviously has her own small selfish heart in this aspect.
Seeing Simon enter the door, Lyudmila jumps directly into Simon's arms and hangs on the man like a sloth. She can't wait to complain about Simon's suspension of the Weimi show. She is 18 years old next year. Originally, she wanted to become famous by virtue of the Weimi show platform. Now, she has no chance.
Simon didn't tear Lyudmila off himself. He hugged her waist and said hello to Eve. Then he looked at several other people. In addition to the maids who followed Simon, there were two others. After reading the information in advance, they all recognized one in name and the other in reality, Natalia banhikova and Marta· Becknatz.
Two women with totally different styles.

If there is no other party, the people on the scene, or just an ordinary businessman who can only do small business in a corner, or just a veteran who does not know where he will eventually go after retirement, or just a politician on the edge who has been overturned in a gust of wind and waves Now, they are the Rovno gang that no one in the country can ignore. Even if the political forces can't compare with the petrovsk gang and the economic strength is not as good as the Donetsk Gang, with the support of the towering tree of the westero system, who can be sure where the Rovno Gang, which has been silent and developing rapidly, will go in the future when other forces are fighting hard for various interests? In the reception hall, Simon finished pouring cold water, took another sip of red wine, looked at the map of Ukraine in front of him, and suddenly asked, "do you know why I can have more than a trillion dollars of wealth?"Everyone looked at each other. They haven't really considered this question seriously. In the face of Simon's question, they didn't speak rashly even if they had some ideas in their mind. Simon did not wait for the answer, nor was he disappointed. He said to himself, "because I am good at taking the road that others have not taken, and developing industries that others have not noticed. The most typical one is the Internet. The term Internet actually appeared in the 1970s, but it was not until 20 years later that the Internet began to break out. It is no exaggeration to say that the westero system dominated by itself In this outbreak, Cisco, AOL and igrit constitute a whole industrial chain of network equipment providers, network service providers and network content providers. Now, the combined market value of these three companies is more than US $1 trillion. Compared with the national wealth equivalent to five times of GDP, the whole Ukraine is worth US $200 billion. speaking of this, Simon glanced at the expressions of the people around him. Some people were fascinated, some were surprised, some were thoughtful, and he laughed again. Then he said, "I'm not showing you anything, but pointing out a way. The assets left over from the Soviet era, as well as other resources of the country, seem to be a very delicious piece of fat, but if you want to get it, it will cost you a lot, and you may even lose your life. Moreover, once you set your goal on these things, you will spend most of your time fighting in the future, which will hinder your progress. Then, the question comes again. Apart from those people are fighting for, what other precious wealth in Ukraine has not been noticed by razarenko? " Another question. This time, there was no more silence. Sergei komorov quickly said, "Simon, I remember you once said that it should be Well, population. " Simon raised his hand and snapped his finger: "yes, the population, more than 50 million people, is definitely the most valuable and unimportant wealth in Ukraine. It is also a road that you can follow like me, which others have not taken." With that said, Simon no longer looked at the reactions of both sides, but drew a virtual line towards the gray area around the map of Ukraine, and then said: "first of all, we should start from the overall situation. On April 15, 1994, the world trade organization was established, which is an important time node, a node of accelerating globalization of the world economy. The most obvious result of globalization is that capital will naturally flow to cheaper regions, such as China, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe. In contrast, although the human resources in Eastern Europe are equally cheap, they are not competitive compared with those in Asia. As for the reasons, you should understand. " Around Simon, whether he really understood it or not, he showed a knowing smile. China's reform and opening up has been nearly 20 years, and Southeast Asia has always been the key support object of western countries in order to contain China. Therefore, the industrial foundation is relatively solid, and the cost of various industries is very low, which is the best flow of capital at this stage. It's not that you can't catch up. The most important reason is that at this stage, Eastern Europe is too chaotic. Not to mention Yugoslavia and other countries in the civil war, even Russia or Ukraine, there are no suitable conditions for introducing foreign capital to develop their economy. The business environment is really bad! If it is not for the super oligarchs at the level of westero system, ordinary businessmen want to invest in these countries. From officials to gangs, they peel their skin layer by layer. In the end, not to mention whether enterprises can be run successfully, whether people can leave safely is a problem. Simon gets used to reading the local newspaper when he arrives. Just before the afternoon reception, in addition to the news about razarenko's assassination in today's Kiev guide, there was another news that attracted Simon's attention: a German businessman opened a flour processing factory in Kiev three years ago. After the factory was built, it was coveted by the local gangs. If he wanted to extort 30% of his shares, the businessman would not agree, And then he was shot in the street last year. The content of the news is that Kiev police announced that the case was officially solved and the suspects were brought to justice. However, on the surface, it seems that justice has been done, but most overseas businessmen will probably give up the idea of investing in Ukraine when they see this news. Simon flashed the news in his mind and continued: "no matter what the other states and counties in Ukraine are, the state of Rovno is different. Now that we have complete control of this area, we should make the best use of it. Compared with Asia, Ukraine has an absolute advantage in geography. In terms of raw materials, as the granary of Europe, no country can compare with Ukraine. As for manpower, as long as the state of Rovno provides enough opportunities, there is no need to expand outward, the public will naturally gather around us. Relying on the rapidly advancing process of globalization and taking advantage of Ukraine's population advantage, we can build the state of Rovno into a European factory. Clothing, furniture, electronics, food and so on can be set foot in and have the potential to do well. " To give you more time to digest, Simon took a few sips of red wine, took a look at the people who were quite moved, and then said, "besides, once the plan is achieved, there will be another result, that is, you will get the support of the public. Think about it. Both the petrovsk gang and the Donetsk gang are just dividing up the country's assets and ignoring the life and death of the people. However, Rovno can create countless job opportunities and enable countless people to live a rich and stable life. It is self-evident who the public will support at that time. All in all, as long as you follow this plan and succeed, this country will be yours for ten years at most. "Simon has never been too talkative. However, this does not mean that Simon is not good at speech and incitement. At the end of the speech, all the people on the scene were filled with emotion. But frankly, it's still just a pie that Simon drew out of the background. As Simon said at the beginning, if he wants to make money, he will not look at Ukraine as a turbulent place. There are too many better investment targets. On the other hand, Simon's idea of a "European factory" has long existed. The original idea was to include the whole of Ukraine. Later, it was found that it was not realistic at all, so it was reduced to the state of Rovno, the complete control point of the vistro system. In the past two years, except for ufms, Simon has been laying the foundation for this project intentionally or unconsciously. Now, the state of Rovno has been completely controlled by the westero system, with stable social order and superior business environment. Next, with the expansion of Lazarenko's power, it has become a threat to the Kuchma family, and the internal strife of the Kiev authorities has intensified, so there is no time to worry about the state of Rovno. Therefore, it will be the best time for the rapid expansion of the Rovno gang. Moreover, the Southeast Asian economic crisis, which will start next year, will slow down the flow of European and American capital to Asia. After the economic crisis spreads to the whole world, the trend of the transfer of Western real industries to lower cost regions will intensify, which in turn provides the best external conditions for Simon's "European factory" plan. With both internal and external conditions, the next step is implementation. It is easier to know than to do. The world has never lacked the best program planning, and few of them can succeed in the end. The key is that it is difficult to implement even seven or eight points of a very good program. Therefore, it remains to be seen how far the Rovno Gang, which Simon helped to build up, can go. It's a success. Everybody's happy. If you fail, it doesn't matter. Simon didn't leave the club north of livny until 11 o'clock in the night because of a lot of discussion about the "European factory" plan. I didn't go to Chengnan villa nearby. Yekaterina's three girls over there are not in Ukraine. Instead, they went to Atlanta to watch the Olympic Games. After two years with Simon, Simon's restrictions on the three growing girls are getting less and less. A few days ago, she mentioned them through Celia and Simon, and readily agreed. Of course, Simon will not talk about coming to Ukraine recently. In the morning, after guessing that Simon would come, the girls of hot spring manor were excited all day. As a result, someone didn't show up late at night, thinking that he might not come. So when Simon arrived at the manor in the early morning, most of them had already fallen asleep. Only a few people, such as Eve besonovskova, are still waiting quietly, including Lyudmila besonovskova, who got the exact hint from her sister. Eve obviously has her own small selfish heart in this aspect. Seeing Simon enter the door, Lyudmila jumps directly into Simon's arms and hangs on the man like a sloth. She can't wait to complain about Simon's suspension of the Weimi show. She is 18 years old next year. Originally, she wanted to become famous by virtue of the Weimi show platform. Now, she has no chance. Simon didn't tear Lyudmila off himself. He hugged her waist and said hello to Eve. Then he looked at several other people. In addition to the maids who followed Simon, there were two others. After reading the information in advance, they all recognized one in name and the other in reality, Natalia banhikova and Marta Becknatz. Two women with totally different styles.
