"Mr. Westeros, please look here. This is the most beautiful of all kinds of meteorites. It is composed of minerals such as olivine and iron-nickel. It is called olivine meteorite. Some research points of view believe that olivine meteorite comes from asteroid impact and decomposition. core material, but we have no direct evidence, the universe is too vast, we can understand very little. Also, this is a slice of olive meteorite, under the light transmission, it looks like pieces embedded in silver metal The golden amber is irregular, but has a natural beauty."

"It's so beautiful, it must be good to make jewelry."

"Come from space, be careful with nuclear radiation."

"If I am a fool, if there is nuclear radiation, how can I put it here for people to visit, eh, Simon?"

The North American Valentine's Day schedule opens this weekend, on February 13, Sunday, and Simon arrived in Odessa, a major port town in southern Ukraine, in the morning. The current person is in the Rock and Mineral Museum of Odessa State University. The museum was established in 1865 and has more than 12,000 kinds of rock and mineral specimens from the universe to the deep sea.

It was Natalia Lyudmila and Evgenia Korkoshko who were bickering, and Yekaterina Noskova, another young green onion of the trio, was also there.

In addition, the two cores of the Rovno Gang, Vladimir Korkoshko and Sergei Komorov, and President Kuchma's son-in-law Victor Pinchuk and Ao The governor and mayor of Desa State, the president of Odessa State University, and more than a dozen people.

Hearing the conversation between two girls in front of the glass cabinet, without waiting for Simon to answer, the tall and hot female commentator in her thirties, wearing a black windbreaker and stepping on high boots, said softly with a decent smile: "Two Miss, without radiation, the main components of olive meteorites are iron-containing magnesium silicate and iron-nickel alloy in the spar part."

Although the narrator was kind, Evgenia Korkoshko curled her lips. She was quite wary of this narrator with light blond hair and fair skin. She seemed to have lost interest in olive meteorites in an instant. Go to Simon and hold the man's arm in a gesture of intimacy.

The other two girls saw that Evgenia took the lead, so it was not good to come over together. After all, the man only has two arms, and there are people around, so they can't be laughed at, so they can only continue to follow in the crowd.

Tour continues.

However, Simon came to Odessa, of course, not to see stone specimens.

It was also a series of plans for the layout of various mineral industries agreed in Australia during the New Year. On the Ukraine side, the Westeros system focused on Odessa.

The main reason is that Odessa is a port city located on the northern shore of the Black Sea with convenient sea transportation.

As we all know, Ukraine's industrial center is near Donetsk in the east, but because it is a rare piece of fat in this country after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, a group of local snakes fought for related assets. Get involved more, after all, Simon has been adhering to a certain "starting from scratch" development strategy, which can minimize the collision with vested interests.

After Rivne State, Odessa is just right to be the development target of the second Westeros system.

First of all, this is an important port city, which is in line with the planning of the Westeros system. It can not only import raw materials from all over the world, especially Africa, but also export Ukrainian industrial products to the world.

Secondly, after the disintegration, Odessa was inferior to Eastern Ukraine in industry, and lagged behind Kiev in politics. In terms of the interests of all parties, the strength of local snakes was relatively much smaller. Coupled with the continuous decline of these years, the Westeros system There will be little resistance to penetration.

In fact, in recent years, the Rovno gang has made many forward-looking arrangements in Odessa.

One of them is the huge smuggling network that uses Odessa as a port to import materials from all over the world and radiate the entire Eastern Europe. The shortage of materials in Eastern Europe these years has provided the soil for the rapid development of this trend network. In order to support this smuggling network, the Rovno Gang currently has its own port in Odessa, a fleet, a trading company on the surface, a gang team in private, a government-level umbrella, and a series of supporting facilities.

Therefore, the next thing to do is actually put a lot of layouts on the table, and then expand.

Simon's visit to Odessa State University is also part of it.

Later, when people talked about the Soviet Union, even Eastern Europe in the 1990s, it was often barbaric, dilapidated, powerful in military power, and poor in people's lives. Therefore, it was extended to the Soviet Union's education system, talent pool, and technological strength. People who don't know why, You may also feel very backward.

actually not.

The education system of the Soviet Union is definitely at the forefront of the world, and its scientific and technological strength is also comparable to that of the United States at that time. Therefore, even after many years of disintegration, the high-end talent pool in the former Soviet Union is very rich, and they are all at the price of cabbage.

Simon had already considered this issue in his initial layout in Ukraine, so he recruited troops at any cost in the Rivne region to attract various top talents.

Rivne Oblast is actually one of the most backward states in Ukraine, and so is education. As for Odessa, although it is not as good as Kiev or Donetsk, it is also the first echelon in Ukraine. In terms of the number of colleges and universities, even if they are inevitably compressed and abolished due to the decline of Ukraine in these years, there is still Odessa National University. University, Odessa Polytechnic University, Odessa Nautical University and other 14 colleges and universities, in addition there are more than 20 secondary vocational colleges, with a large number of libraries, laboratories, research institutes, etc., you can imagine this The city is full of talents.

On another level, it also once again shows how rich Ukraine has inherited from the former Soviet Union.

It's a pity that a good hand turned out to be poor.

Of course, Simon personally has no regrets about this. If Ukraine can play this deck well, there will be something about the Westeros system.

In short, for the various universities in Odessa, Simon directly brought a cooperation plan of 100 million US dollars this time. Speaking of it, this is not the first time. Around the 3G plan, the Westeros system has already been established here. established several research institutes.

However, the 3G plan mainly involves the future of mankind, and the current cooperation plan is mainly facing the present. It plans to rely on the human resources of various universities in Odessa and even the surrounding states to integrate and assemble a series of research teams. Establish research institutes and laboratories to provide talents and technical support for the recovery and development of Odessa's shipbuilding, oil refining, steel and other mineral smelting such as aluminum, sodium, lithium, magnesium, and rare earths.

After visiting the University of Odessa, and listening to the investment seminar held by the Rovno Gang and the Odessa state high-level leaders, at noon was a reception in a manor near the sea in the north of Odessa.

The 50-hectare manor with a private dock is naturally Simon’s property here. The main villa is a palace style with blue roof and white walls common in Soviet Russia. It covers an area of ​​one acre, has three floors, and more than two hundred rooms. Liuda Yeva's three girls came back early after visiting Odessa University, and they couldn't finish shopping until the noon reception. So even if you are used to being extravagant in daily life, you can't help but feel that a certain man is really wasting money.

Can such a manor be lived once or twice a year?

Moreover, there is a large group of beautiful waiters of different styles and ages in the manor as usual, which is really, too extravagant.

In the hall where the reception was held.

Simon heard the three little girls running up and acted like a baby, and drove them away with a smile, and then went to Victor Pinchuk who had been waiting for a long time.

"Nice reception," Victor Pinchuk gestured to the surrounding guests, and gave a routine compliment, and the two naturally walked to a corner of the hall. This time, they continued, somewhat straight to the point: "Simon, it seems that you plan to increase Investing in Odessa?"

"Obviously," Simon responded with a smile, and then asked, "What do you think?"

"As the largest port city in my country, it is of course a great idea," Victor Pinchuk said, looking at Simon, seemingly unintentionally: "However, in recent years, the smuggling here has been a bit Too much."

When Simon heard Pinchuk say this, his smile remained unchanged: "This is indeed a problem."

When Victor Pinchuk saw the young tycoon, he just responded with this sentence, and there was no curiosity or doubt in his expression, such as "how are you going to deal with it?" A big mistake.

Picking up the red wine in his hand, he took two sips and calmed down a little. Pinchuk looked up again, looked at Simon, and said, "It's like this, Simon, don't you think that the cooperation between the Westeros system and us is very pleasant?" ?”

Simon nodded slightly: "Of course."

"So, maybe," Pinchuk looked directly into the eyes of the young man in front of him, paused for a while, and continued, "I mean, Simon, this kind of cooperation can last forever, can't it?"

Simon met Pinchuk's gaze indifferently, and seeing that he finally stated the purpose of his trip, he smiled and said again: "Of course, Victor, I am a businessman, as long as my investment can get a good return , I definitely hope to work with partners permanently.”

A light flashed in Victor Pinchuk's eyes, and he quickly tried to suppress it, organized his language briefly again, and continued: "Simon, in this case, if Leon seeks his third term in five years, Viktor On the side of the Stroll system, there is also the Rovno Gang, in short, you must be willing to support it, right?"

Simon didn't answer right away this time. He still looked at Pinchuk with a smile for a moment, and when Pinchuk was about to speak again, he finally said, "I'm thinking, Victor, what are you going to do if I don't support you? Like your little hint just now, will you immediately give some counterattacks?"

Victor Pinchuk realized this time that it was a big mistake that he couldn't help but add a sentence just because of some lack of confidence, and shook his head subconsciously: "No, of course not, Simon, I just, I you can When I never said anything."

Simon shook his head: "Unfortunately, I can't pretend that you haven't said anything."

Victor Pinchuk was speechless for a moment.

I feel a little regretful, maybe, I should apologize immediately, instead of saying nonsense 'I didn't say anything'.

While hesitating, Simon has continued: "Victor, I just said that as long as the interests of the Westeros system can be guaranteed, I am happy to form an ally with any partner. Therefore, for you, if Leon We will definitely support him if he can achieve his third term through a series of compliant means in five years' time." Speaking of which, Simon raised the red wine in his hand, interrupted Pinchuk's opening, and continued: " The problem is, just now, you have started to bully me, don't deny it. And I really, really don't like this, I can't help but think, it's not even started yet, you guys are already thinking about coercion, if I support Leon continues his third term, or even his fourth term, will my business here be subject to more and more coercion in the future?"

"No, no, just now" Victor Pinchuk was already sweating coldly at what the young tycoon said in front of him, and he began to worry that if his father-in-law knew that he had angered West because of a small slip of the tongue this time Luo, because the goal cannot be achieved this time, will he want to kill him directly? Subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, Pinchuk finally continued his words: "Simon, just now, I apologize to you

, and, I, I assure you, don't think anything will happen against the Westerosi system. "

"Do you know, Victor, businessmen value promises the most, but at the same time, they don't believe in promises the least," Simon restrained some of the sharpness in his eyes, and said, "At least, I am like this personally, so I never only look at promises." What your partners do, instead of listening to what they say. This experience, heh, you are also a businessman, and it is given to you for free, which is very useful.”

"Oh, thank you."

Victor Pinchuk was a little confused, feeling that the topic was misleading by the other party, and wanted to bring it back, but he didn't know how to speak.

However, Pinchuk generally felt that he should have understood Westeros' attitude.

The other party has no objection, but the premise is that Kiev makes the process more beautiful, which is beyond reproach, and the Westeros system, when the time comes, will let nature take its course.

This result makes sense.

After all, the cooperation between the two parties over the years has been very pleasant, and Victor Pinchuk could not think of any reason why Simon Westero would not support his father-in-law in seeking a third term. It's just that, obviously, it was because of my extravagance that I accidentally annoyed the other party, so that I couldn't get an affirmative answer.

Thinking of this, Pinchuk's cold sweat broke out again, and he secretly reminded himself that he must forget this incident and must not tell his father-in-law the details.

In short, it is enough to bring the conclusion back.

Simon watched the mood of the middle-aged man in front of him change from tense to relaxed, and also eased down. He roughly understood that the other party might have gotten a fairly satisfactory answer from him.

For Simon personally, though, of course there are no answers.

Simon really valued promises, even verbal promises, so even if Pinchuk didn't take the initiative to give him something to say, he would find other excuses to bypass this matter.

As for privately, Simon's attitude is of course very clear.

not support.

reason?

Victor Pinchuk couldn't figure it out, but Simon was very clear.

To put it simply, Simon's ambitions are bigger than Pinchuk and even Kuchma's imagined. The other party feels that as long as Simon can develop his business here smoothly, he will be satisfied. Therefore, these local snakes still have enough to survive. space. The problem is, what Simon wants is the whole of Ukraine, heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, everything, just like South Korea, and he doesn't plan to let it go at all.

To achieve this goal, a very important prerequisite is that the political situation in Ukraine cannot be too stable.

Just like Korea.

According to the Korean constitution, the president of South Korea has only one term in office, and changing it once is a turmoil for South Korea. This is the ideal state of the country's political situation that capitalists like Simon are most willing to see.
