Chapter 1063 (1/2)
On the east coast of the United States, at a manor on Martha's Vineyard island at the east end of Long Island, Celia, returning to North America, saw Simon again on Friday, November 15.
In just a few days, in the face of the strong concern of international public opinion, the Kiev special task force stationed in Donetsk quickly cracked the sherban assassination case.
At a news conference summarizing the case, the Ukrainian side said that one of the five arrested killers held a grudge because his factory was acquired by a company under the name of shelban and suffered layoffs. He contacted several other accomplices to launch the assassination.
The reason is bullshit.
Onlookers who know a little bit about the situation know that the whole thing is a fierce struggle between the two major forces in Ukraine for the industrial assets of eastern Ukraine. Moreover, the attempted assassination of razarenko a few months ago is not clean.
This kind of scandal is certainly not suitable for the public to know.
Even if you hide your ears.
Now that the case has been solved quickly, Leon Kuchma also held a press conference in person to assure reporters all over the world that Ukraine will strengthen the protection of overseas investors. In addition, Russia and the United States did not make any substantive follow-up after making a speech. This is the end of the matter.
As for the continuous surging and waves in private, it is not anyone can detect.
In the living room of manor villa on the south end of Martha's Vineyard island by the sea.
Celia Miller sips her coffee slowly, occasionally glancing at the owner of the casino development with Irene Lauder in her arms on a nearby sofa.
After more than ten minutes, after reading the materials, Simon rubbed Irene's waist in his arms and gave her a kiss on her cheek and neck. He asked, ”how do you feel about this plan?”
Eileen, who had been swearing in the man's arms for Celia's appearance, quickly turned ruddy under Simon's action. She pressed his big hand and shook her head. ”I don't understand this, but I don't know where Livni is. Can I really invest a lot of money to build a gambling city to attract tourists in the future?”
”Las Vegas was just a desert town before it became famous.”
Irene saw Simon say and kiss the corner of his mouth, really embarrassed in front of the outsider so affectionate, feigned to bite him, said: ”then you decide, anyway, it's all your money.”
Simon was not frightened by Eileen's false bite. He gave the girl a kiss on her earlobe and said, ”maybe the Lauder family will join in. It will sound very powerful to let our little Noah be the king of gambling in Eastern Europe, won't it?”
Eileen was even more embarrassed: ”I don't know it's a boy or a girl. Moreover, my father has to decide on the investment. I can't manage it.”
With that, Irene, who has been cultivated as a lady since childhood, finally can't stand being looked at so intimately by Celia. She breaks away from Simon's arms and gets up and says, ”OK, I'm going to take a nap. Let's talk.”
Simon took the girl's arm until she got up and broke away a little bit, affectionately: ”I know you can't sleep alone, I'll come with you soon.”
Irene gave Simon a white look: ”I like to sleep alone.”
Said to see the small hand is also held by Simon, the man also side face, can only come forward to kiss, can be let go.
Just as she was about to turn around and go out, Eileen, who was not stupid in the end, responded that a guy was just on purpose, so that she could not bear to leave on her own initiative.
Finally, with a ”I see” look in her eyes and a polite nod to Celia, Irene walked out.
When Irene left, Simon glanced at Celia with a strange face: ”do you envy her?”
For some things, Simon did not deliberately hide, Celia naturally knew, although the heart inevitably moved, the woman did not answer, but said: ”Noah, very good name.”
”Yes, Elin. We all hope it's a boy. It'll be Noah Lauder westero.”
After all, it's the boss's private business. Even if she has a close relationship, Celia still put herself in a very right position. She nodded and said nothing more. Instead, she asked, ”what does the boss think of this plan?”
Simon said: ”if everything only needs 200 million dollars, you can try it, but it's certainly not enough to really start.”
Celia agreed.
If you want to build a gambling city, infrastructure like casinos and hotels is just the beginning. If you put 200 million dollars in Ukraine, you can really spread out the stalls.
The key is the follow-up operation.
Just like Atlantic City, although it is not a failure, the result is far lower than the expectation of investors.
This is true of Atlantic City, which has many advantages. It is a gambling city located in an unknown remote state in Eastern Europe. It is absolutely difficult to do it. At that time, once the operation of the gambling city is not ideal, this project is likely to be like a film project like ”future water world” or ”Titanic”, which is still shooting. If you want to avoid the huge investment in the early stage, investors will have to bite their teeth and continue to burn money.It's hard to say whether it will become a bottomless pit.
After a little consideration, Celia said: ”in terms of the operation of hot spring resort and military theme park, Andre and Alexander have excellent abilities, and they are still exploring and learning. This is a very important positive factor. If their passion can last for five to ten years, or if the boss is willing to use the resources of westero system to help them I believe that this gambling city is more than 70% likely to succeed. ”
Simon closed the document in his hand and said, ”I'll get someone to evaluate it again. Celi, tell me about your trip to Ukraine the other day?”
Celia sorted out her thoughts and talked in detail about her contact with Victor pinchuk, Victor Yanukovych and Yulia Tymoshenko, as well as some negotiation results and other schedules. Even the korkoshko family's wish to send gifts at Thanksgiving was not forgotten.
Some of the items Simon has learned from Celia's memo that she just smiles when she hears that evgenia wants to come over for Thanksgiving, indicating that Celia is telling Janet directly.
In addition, there are some small feelings in my heart.
Yanukovych also appeared.
This politician who was born in the Donetsk clique and once became the president of Ukraine can be said to be the worst one among the former and latter presidents of Ukraine. The root of the matter lies in each other's Pro Russian stance. It's a pity that Russia is no longer the former Soviet Union, and the United States has to beat Russia, let alone support Yanukovych's ruling. In the end, what Russia can do is to give political protection to this little brother in distress, so as to prevent him from being caught back in Ukraine and thrown into prison.
At the end of the discussion, Celia finally asked, ”boss, this storm is a great opportunity for us to expand in Ukraine. Why should we give up? We all feel sorry and confused about this? Like Tymoshenko, if the boss agrees to the woman's refuge, we can directly control the natural gas supply in Ukraine. ”
”If I want to invest in natural gas, I can go directly to Russia to buy oil and gas fields. This is the real energy business. Tymoshenko is just a second dealer who relies on monopoly distribution channels to grab profits,” Simon shrugged. ”As for why not take the opportunity to expand, of course, I know your mind. Take this opportunity to destroy Lazarenko At the same time, we will march into eastern Ukraine and annex the Donetsk gang. At that time, we will basically control the whole Ukraine, right
Instead of nodding rashly, Celia asked, ”what's the problem, boss?”
”Frankly, I almost couldn't resist this desire to expand. Fortunately, I finally kept this line,” Simon said. Seeing Celia still wondering, he added, ”Celia, let me ask you a question. Why do you think the westero system has grown at an almost miraculous speed in the past decade?”
This problem is too big, Celia thought, can only smile: ”because the boss is a genius ah.”
Simon shook his head with a smile. Instead of forcing Celia to reply, he volunteered, ”I don't deny that I have my own secret. However, one of the key factors for the rapid rise of the westero system in the past decade is that I have never competed with others in various traditional industries that have become monopolies, so I have bypassed the competitive barriers that many entrepreneurs often encounter. Just like Denise entertainment, since its establishment, in order to avoid the pressure of the seven old brands at that time, I have been cooperating with foreign countries and let out a lot of interests. Until now, this company has also cooperated with several other Hollywood giants. Then there is the Internet field, which is more typical. It is an emerging industry from scratch. Therefore, the westero system can grow rapidly in an environment with few competitors. ”
