"At the reception just now, Pinchuk has clearly expressed to me on behalf of Mr. President his desire to pursue a third term. I was thinking, you should have also received lobbying, right?"

After the reception, this is a yacht beside the private pier of Linhai Manor.

At the round table on the top deck, Simon sat around with Vladimir Korkoshko and Sergey Komorov. Hearing the question from the big boss, the two nodded together without any concealment. Korkosh Ke also said directly: "Last week I went to Kiev to attend a meeting and was invited to Mr. President's private party. Leon promised that I could replace Andre at any time as governor."

Simon asked with a smile, "How did you respond?"

Korkoshko confessed: "I told him that this matter needs to be discussed with you," he said, shrugging, and also smiling: "If Eve Naniko hasn't forgotten, I asked her to help pass it on yesterday, and I want to I want to talk to you about it."

Simon nodded and looked at Komorov again.

Sergei Komorov said: "Pinchuk talked to me in the morning. Kiev has nothing to buy me. However, the attitude there is that if I am interested in politics, Leon's third term, I can be prime minister. I said no and am going to tell you."

Simon was very satisfied with the candid attitude of the two, and knew that what they said was true. He nodded and said, "Very good."

Seeing the reaction of his boss, Korkoshko vaguely understood something, thanked himself for being calm, and then asked, "Simon, what should we do next?"

Simon said: "Since Leon gave you a promise, promise him. In addition, Andre can be transferred to Odessa on a flat basis."

Komorov said: "Simon, if I'm not wrong, you should not have given Kiev the answer they want. In this case, maybe the governor of Vladimir can win, and Andrei will transfer to Odessa , it shouldn't be easy."

"We absolutely supported Leon's successful re-election last year. This is what everyone has seen. We deserve to be rewarded for what we have paid. The governor of Odessa is what we want in return."

Korkoshko couldn't help but said, "What if Kiev disagrees?"

Simon put one hand on the round table and slowly turned a glass. Hearing this, he said with a smile, "We paid, but didn't get anything in return. Do you think we should continue to give?"

"The problem is," Komorov said, "we can't turn against Leon right away, can we?"

"If our requirements are met, we are still close partners. If not, it is obvious that Leon has a grudge against us. Since Mr. President, after we have provided us with great help, not only is he not grateful, but If there is a grievance, then there is really no need for the two of us to continue to cooperate, and we will turn our backs."

Korkoshko said: "Actually, Simon, before we made this request, there should be no grudges between the two parties."

"For my own business, I have always adhered to the idea of ​​avoiding conflicts with people as much as possible. Therefore, in Ukraine, I would choose remote areas like Rivne Region instead of Kiev or East Ukraine." Simon said: "However, it is impossible for any power, whether it is capital power, political power, or even a country, to develop to a certain extent without conflicting with others. Because when you are large enough, you will definitely threaten others, or make people People feel threatened. Should we actively stop development to avoid this?"

When Simon uncovered the matter, both of them suddenly became a little stunned.

At the same time, I realized one thing, why the development of the Rovno Gang in Ukraine has been so smooth in recent years. And, in the future, even if it is not life and death, in the process of further expansion, fierce collisions between the Rovno Gang and other forces in Ukraine will be inevitable.

At the round table, Simon didn't wait for the two to respond, and continued: "After these years, you should also have some experience. Leon is a politician who likes to pursue balance very much, both externally and internally. Therefore, this time we Ask the governor of Odessa, not Dnepropetrovsk, the foundation of the Dnieper Gang, or Donetsk, an industrial city in Eastern Ukraine. He may hesitate, but there is a high probability that he will agree. .”

The two thought for a while, then nodded.

In fact, the two couldn't help but feel that Simon's evaluation of Leon Kuchma was somewhat restrained. The so-called balance of the president still tended to compromise to a large extent. Internationally, there is a compromise between the United States and Russia, and domestically, there is a compromise between various capitals and political parties. In short, in many cases, it is time to kill decisively, but hesitates, so that many opportunities to completely eradicate political enemies and eliminate hidden dangers are lost.

Typical is the former Prime Minister Lazarenko.

Lazarenko has fled abroad, but the former natural gas princess, who is an important partner of Lazarenko, is still very prosperous in the country at the moment.

In comparison, it is obvious that his boss is also a person who likes to pursue balance.

However, when it is time to be decisive, the big boss will not hesitate like Kuchma. Even, because of some things in these years, both of them have a feeling that if the big boss goes to join the mafia, he will definitely become a big boss.

This is already a fact.

The other two don't know much about it, but the Rovno gang, whose tentacles have spread all over the world, obviously developed rapidly with the support of someone.

Besides this time, the one in Kiev is probably still hesitating how to win over or let the Rovno Gang continue to help him fight for a third term, but the big boss, judging from the statement just now, is actually tantamount to directly Will library

Chima gave up. This also means that the subsequent hypocrisy between the Rovno gang and the Kiev authorities is not a balanced compromise, but a willingness to fight and squeeze out the maximum benefits that can be obtained here, and then, there will be no after.

The three were chatting about some follow-up details when Natasha Lipskin, who was in charge of Simon's living here, appeared and said that the president of Odessa State University came to visit and brought information about Simon's possible visit to the Rock and Mineral Museum in the morning. Interested in a small gift.

Lipskin was already gesturing towards the pier as he spoke.

The three of them looked over together, and there was a man and a woman standing on the shore of the pier. The middle-aged man was the principal of Odessa State University. Another girl in a black windbreaker was holding a gift box. I had seen it this morning. A beautiful narrator with a very pure British accent.

Seeing this side, some bald middle-aged principal smiled and waved to this side, looking very eager.

Simon returned a smile, but pointed to the girl in the black windbreaker: "Just bring the gift, Sergey, Vladimir, this time it's here, you can go back to the villa with the principal, and chat casually Chat. Also, I won’t greet you when I leave.”

Vladimir Korkoshko and Sergey Komorov smiled knowingly together, got up and said goodbye formally, and left the yacht.

Soon, the fair-skinned woman who could compete with Natasha Lipskin and was taller was brought to Simon.
