Chapter 1570

"Mr. westero, please look here. This is the most beautiful of all kinds of meteorites. It is composed of olivine, iron, nickel and other minerals. It is called olive meteorite. Some research views believe that olive meteorite comes from the core material after asteroid impact and decomposition, but we have no direct evidence. The universe is too vast, and we can know very little. Also, this is an olive meteorite The slices of the stone, under the transmission of the bottom light, are like golden amber inlaid between silver metals. They are irregular, but they have a natural beauty. "

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

"From space, be careful with nuclear radiation."

"When I was a fool, how could I put it here for people to visit if there was nuclear radiation, huh... Right, Simon?"

This weekend, when the North American Valentine's day schedule opens, Simon arrived in Odessa, an important southern port town in Ukraine, on Sunday morning. At present, people are in the rock and Mineral Museum of Odessa National University. The museum was established in 1865 and has more than 12000 kinds of rock and mineral specimens from the universe to the deep sea.

Natalia Lyudmila and evgenia korkoshko were bickering, and Katerina noskova, another shallot in the trio, was also there.

In addition, Simon was surrounded by two core members of the Rovno Gang, Vladimir korkoshko and Sergei komorov, Victor pinchuk, the son-in-law of President Kuchma, the governor and mayor of Odessa state and the president of Odessa National University.

Hearing the conversation between two girls in front of the glass cabinet, without waiting for Simon's answer, the tall and hot 30-year-old female commentator in black windbreaker and high boots whispered with a decent smile: "two ladies, there is no radiation. The main components of olive meteorite are iron magnesium silicate and iron nickel alloy in the crystalline part."

Although the commentator was kind, evgenia korkoshko was very wary of the commentator with light blond hair, perfect face and very white skin. It seemed that she lost interest in the olive meteorite and went to Simon and held the man's arm for intimacy.

When the other two girls saw that evgenia took the lead, they couldn't get over it together. After all, men only have two arms. Moreover, there are people around, so they can't let people see jokes. They can only continue to follow the crowd.

The tour continues.

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

It was also a series of plans on the layout of various mineral industries agreed in Australia during the new year. On the Ukrainian side, the Westeros system focused on Odessa.

The main reason is that Odessa is a port city, which is located on the North Bank of the black sea with convenient maritime transportation.

As we all know, Ukraine's important industrial town is around Donetsk in the East, but because it is a rare piece of fat meat in this country after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, many local snakes have broken their heads and blood in order to compete for relevant assets, so they are not too involved here. After all, Simon has always adhered to a development strategy of "starting from scratch", This can minimize the collision with vested interests.

After Rovno state, Odessa is just right to become the development goal of the second Westeros system in Ukraine.

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

Secondly, after the disintegration, Odessa is not as good as Dongwu in industry and lags behind Kiev in politics. At the level of interests of all parties, the strength of local leaders is much smaller. In addition, with the continuous recession in recent years, the resistance to the penetration of Westeros system will be very small.

In fact, in recent years, the Rovno gang has made a lot of forward-looking layout in Odessa.

One of them is to use Odessa as a port to import materials from all over the world and radiate the huge smuggling network of the whole Eastern Europe. The material shortage in Eastern Europe in recent years has provided the soil for the rapid development of this trend network. In order to support this smuggling network, the Rovno Gang now has its own port in Odessa, a fleet, an open trading company, a private gang organization, a government umbrella, and so on.

Therefore, the next thing to do is to put many layouts on the table and then expand.

Simon's visit to Odessa National University is also one of the links.

Later, when people talked about the Soviet Union, even Eastern Europe in the 1990s, it was often barbaric, dilapidated, strong military strength, people's life embarrassment and so on. Therefore, it was extended to the Soviet Union's education system, as well as talent reserve and scientific and technological strength. People who did not know why would probably feel very backward.

It's not.

The Soviet Union's education system is definitely in the forefront of the world, and its scientific and technological strength can fully match that of the United States at that time. Therefore, even if it disintegrated for many years, the reserve of high-end talents in the former Soviet Union is also very rich, and they are all cabbage prices.

Simon initially considered this problem in his layout in Ukraine, so he spared no expense to recruit and attract all kinds of top talents in the Rovno region.

Rovno state is actually one of the most backward states in Ukraine, and so is education. Odessa, although not comparable to Kiev or Donetsk, is also the first echelon in Ukraine.

In terms of the number of colleges and universities, even if they are inevitably reduced and abolished due to the decline of Ukraine in recent years, there are still 14 colleges and universities such as Odessa National University, Odessa University of technology and Odessa Maritime University, as well as more than 20 secondary vocational colleges, with a large number of libraries, laboratories and research institutes, It is conceivable that the city is full of talents.

On the other hand, it also shows once again how rich a family background Ukraine inherited from the former Soviet Union.

Unfortunately, a good hand turns out to be poor.

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

In short, for the universities in Odessa, Simon brought a $100 million cooperation plan directly this time. In short, this is not the first one. Around the 3G plan, Westeros system has set up several research institutes here.

However, the 3G plan mainly involves the future of mankind, and the current cooperation plan mainly faces the present. Relying on the talent resources of Odessa universities and even surrounding states, it is planned to integrate and assemble a series of research teams and establish research institutes and laboratories for Odessa's shipbuilding, oil refining, steel and other aluminum, sodium, lithium, magnesium The smelting of rare earth and other minerals provides talent and technical support for the recovery and development of other industries.

Visited Odessa University, and listened to a high-level investment seminar between Rovno gang and Odessa state. At noon, it was a reception in a manor near the sea in the north of Odessa.

The manor with a private wharf covering an area of 50 hectares is naturally Simon's property here. The main villa is a common blue roof and white wall palace style in Soviet Russia. It covers an acre, with three floors and more than 200 rooms. Lyudayeva's three little girls came back before visiting Odessa University. They didn't visit it until the noon reception.

So even if I get used to spending a lot of money on weekdays, it's hard to avoid feeling that a man really spends a lot of money.

Can you live in such a manor once or twice a year?

Moreover, as usual, there are a large group of beautiful waitresses of different styles and ages in the manor. It's really too extravagant.

In the hall where the reception is held.

Simon listened to the three little girls running to play coquettish, drove away with a smile, and then greeted Victor pinchuk, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Nice reception," said Victor pinchuk, gesturing to the surrounding guests and offering a regular compliment. They naturally walked to a corner of the hall, which continued. Some went straight to the theme: "Simon, it seems that you plan to increase your investment in Odessa?"

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

"It's certainly a great idea to be the largest port city in my country," said Victor pinchuk, looking at Simon and seemingly unintentionally: "however, smuggling here has gone too far in recent years."

Simon listened to pingchuk's words and kept smiling: "this is really a problem."

When Victor pinchuk saw that the young tycoon just responded, he didn't even have the curiosity or doubt of "how are you going to deal with it". He felt that he had punched in the air and that he might have made a big mistake.

He took two sips of the red wine in his hand and eased it a little. Pinchuk looked up again, looked at Simon and said, "well, Simon, don't you think the cooperation between Westeros and US has been very pleasant over the years?"

Simon nodded slightly, "of course."

"Well, maybe," pinchuk said after a pause, looking straight into the eyes of the young tycoon in front of him, "I mean, Simon, such cooperation can last forever, can't it?"

Simon looked calmly into pingchuk's eyes and saw that he finally said the purpose of his trip. He smiled and said again: "of course, Victor, I'm a businessman. As long as my investment can get a good return, I certainly hope to cooperate with my partners forever."

Victor pinchuk flashed a bright light in his eyes, quickly tried to suppress it, organized the language briefly again, and then said: "Simon, in this case, if Leon seeks his third term in five years, there is the Rovno Gang on the side of the Westeros system, in short, you must be willing to support it, right?"

Simon didn't answer immediately this time. He still looked at pingchuk for a moment with a smile. When pingchuk was about to speak again, he finally said, "I was thinking, Victor, if I don't support it, what are you going to do? Will you give some counterattack immediately like your little hint?"

Victor pinchuk finally realized that he could not help adding a sentence just because of some lack of confidence. It was a big mistake. He subconsciously shook his head: "no, of course not, Simon, I just, i... you can think I didn't say anything."

Simon also shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't pretend you didn't say anything."

Victor pinchuk was speechless for a moment.

And some regret, perhaps, I should apologize at the first time, rather than a nonsense 'when I didn't say anything'.

After hesitating, Simon continued: "Victor, I just said that as long as the interests of Westeros system can be protected, I am willing to maintain an alliance with any partner. Therefore, for you, if Leon can achieve his third term through a series of compliance means in five years, we will certainly support it."

At this point, Simon lifted the red wine in his hand and interrupted pinchuk's mouth, Then he said: "The problem is that just now, you have begun to threaten me. Don't deny it. I don't like this very much. I can't help but think that everything has not started yet. You are already considering coercion. If I support Leon to continue his third term, even his fourth term, will my business here be more and more coerced in the future? ”

"No, no, just..." Victor pinchuk was so cold sweated by the words of the young tycoon in front of him that he began to worry about whether his father-in-law would want to kill him if he knew that he angered westero this time because of a small gaffe. Subconsciously raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead. Pingchuk finally continued his words: "Simon, just now, I apologize to you, and I, I promise you, Ukraine doesn't think anything against the Westeros system will happen."

"You know, Victor, businessmen value commitment most, but at the same time, they don't believe in commitment," Simon restrained some sharp eyes, He said: "at least, I personally do, so I never look at what my partners do, not what they say. This experience, ah, you are also a businessman. It's very useful for free."

"Oh, thank you."

Victor pinchuk was a little confused. He felt that the topic was distorted by the other party, wanted to bring it back, and didn't know how to speak.

However, pinchuk generally felt that he should understand westero's attitude.

The other party does not object, but the premise is that Kiev makes the process more beautiful and blameless, and the Westeros system will let it go at that time.

The result is reasonable.

After all, the cooperation between the two sides over the years has been very pleasant. Victor pinchuk can't think of any reason why Simon westero would not support his father-in-law's seeking a third term. However, it is obvious that he has accidentally annoyed the other party because of his icing on the cake, so that he can't get a positive answer.

Thinking of this, pingchuk's cold sweat came out again, secretly reminding himself that he must forget this stubble and must not tell his father-in-law details.

In short, it's enough to take the conclusion back.

Simon looked at the middle-aged man's mood from tension to ease, and also eased down. He generally understood that the other party might get a fairly satisfactory answer from himself.

However, for Simon personally, of course, there is no answer.

Simon really valued the promise, even the verbal promise. Therefore, even if there was no handle pingchuk took the initiative to give him, he would look for other reasons to avoid it.

In private, Simon's attitude is certainly very clear.

I won't support it.

reason?

Victor pinchuk didn't understand, but Simon was very clear.

In short, Simon's ambition is bigger than pinchuk and even Kuchma imagine. The other party feels that Simon will be satisfied as long as he can develop his business smoothly here. Therefore, these local snakes still have enough living space.

The problem is that Simon wants, but the whole Ukraine, land, gold and women, like South Korea, don't want to let go at all.

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

Like Korea.

The president of South Korea has only one term of office. Changing once is not only a turbulence for South Korea, but also an opportunity to operate capital. This is the ideal state of national political situation that capitalists like Simon most want to see.
