Simon had another chat with Anna zikarova, and it was time to leave.
The black Mercedes Benz car drove directly to this side. The bodyguard opened the door. Simon got up from the bench and went to the car. Only then did he find that the woman outside the car almost subconsciously followed him and moved inside with a smile: "do you want to skip work and have lunch together?"
When the man said this, Anna jikarova suddenly woke up, shook her head subconsciously, and stepped back. Her eyes dodged, pretending not to hear what she had just said. She just said, "goodbye, Mr. westero."
"Goodbye," Simon said, adding, "don't let me down."
Anna jikarova nodded. Seeing that the man didn't continue the topic, she waved her hand to the bodyguard. The door closed, and her heart suddenly felt a touch of melancholy. One moment, she even thought that it was nothing to go to lunch with him, just lunch.
Unfortunately, even if she wanted to deceive herself, the team that drove away quietly didn't give her a chance.
Looking as like as two peas in the same black Mercedes, they disappeared until a corner was completely disappeared. A headmistress sighed gently, and he could hardly speak the words he had just said, and finally, do not let him down. Three.
Definitely not.
Simon returned to the urban area and at noon went to the home of Alexander lyudayev, the head of Livni media company, who is in charge of the vistro system in Ukraine, and Natalia lyudayeva, one of the first batch of small scallions. A girl knew two days ago that Simon had come to Ukraine. She only saw him today and was very coquettish, I stayed with Simon at lunch.
After lunch, I got to know the operation of Livni media.
At present, TV is still the core of Livni media. Its basic network has spread all over Ukraine, and has reached a lot of cooperation with some TV stations in Russia and Belarus. It can be said that it has developed rapidly. And the reason for this is that it is supported by the vistro system, especially daenerys entertainment.
Simon, after all, started as a film and television entertainment company. Just as he can go too far in China, he can easily do his best in Ukraine.
In addition to television, Livni media also began to get involved in film, music, newspapers and other fields. Although the scale of Livni media is far less than that of danielis entertainment, it is also sparrow, small as it is.
For example, in terms of film, Livni media has built a 20 hectare film and television base in the north of the city, which is equivalent to Fox and Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. Of course, due to funding and other reasons, the internal facilities are certainly far less than Hollywood, but it is absolutely the only one in Ukraine.
In addition, music is the most popular Russian singer group in the former Soviet Union. Only in the first half of this year, the group performed hundreds of performances in the former Soviet Union, contributing a lot of profits to Livni media.
With such a beginning to accumulate experience, the Music Department of Livni media has launched other singers or groups one after another, and some of them have a good response.
As for newspapers and the like, they do not seek to make money, just to control the voice of public opinion.
After spending an afternoon getting to know all aspects of Livni media and entertainment company in detail, Simon can easily outline the future. As long as the company does not encounter too many frustrations, it is likely to become the largest media power in the former Soviet Union. Its interests are next, and the potential public opinion discourse power is the weightlifting.
Finally, I saw the film and television base in the north of the city, which is quite rough. It's already more than six o'clock in the afternoon here.
Simon is going to the resort in the evening. Accompanied by lyudayev, he goes to the helicopter parked in the base space and says, "you're doing well here, but one thing we should pay attention to is the tendency. On the side of the state of Rovno, we must absolutely control public opinion. There is no doubt that if anyone wants to compete with us, they will do whatever it takes to bring them down. But outside of Livni, media and entertainment companies need to be as neutral as possible if they want to grow, at least for the next five years. If you can't handle the scale well, then take the simplest way to reduce the production of news and current political content and try to be more entertainment. Do you understand? "
"Simon, I know what to do."
Alexander lyudayev nodded.
In fact, in the afternoon, lyudayev also talked to Simon about his intention to set up a special news channel. If he went on a business trip, it would obviously help the Rovno Gang to have a greater say, but he was just rejected by Simon.
This afternoon, Simon, who should explain, explained clearly.
Even if the beginning is good, the foundation of Livni media and entertainment company is still too shallow after all, just like a child who has just learned to walk, who rashly points his finger at something that is not suitable for interrupting, and is likely to be easily knocked down.
Therefore, we should keep a low profile.
When this media and entertainment company is influential in all aspects of the former Soviet Union and becomes a part of many people's daily life, then, to show its influence, even if the governments of the relevant countries and regions want to shut up or even ban the corresponding newspapers or TV, they have to consider the hidden public opinion risk.
In fact, to put it bluntly, how big the fist is, how loud the voice is.
After arriving at the huge Mi-26 helicopter, he finally said goodbye to Alexander lyudayev. Looking at Natalia lyudayeva, who came naturally, with a pathetic look of begging, Simon rubbed the girl's head with a smile and motioned her to climb the gangway first, so that she could catch up.
……
With the continuous rapid construction, Livni Resort and entertainment company, which is composed of hot spring resort, hunting area and military theme park, has developed into a town. Like Livni, the town is also expanding rapidly, and several surrounding villages have been demolished.
Summer is the peak season for tourists.
Especially in the evening, nightlife is about to begin. After a day off, many tourists from Europe and even all over the world begin to walk out of hotels of different specifications, or in twos and threes, or in arms, thinking about their evening entertainment.
When three very conspicuous helicopters appear above the resort, many people can't help looking up, and some people can't help but wonder.
At the military theme park, it's said that it's maintenance. Recently, all flight experience projects have been suspended, and even all kinds of shooting projects are no longer accepted for temporary application. Only those with advance appointment can continue. What's the matter with the three helicopters in the air?
Some people have doubts, some people can probably understand.
Perhaps it is precisely because of these three helicopters, or to be exact, some people on the helicopter, that various projects of the resort and entertainment center are temporarily suspended. Even for some familiar customers, the patrol guard here has been significantly strengthened recently.
Obviously, for the sake of safety.
I just don't know what big man in the helicopter can make the whole Rovno area move people?
Simon looked down from the helicopter against the setting sun, even though it was difficult for him to have too many fluctuations in material aspects, but looking down at the area below, which was totally out of thin air and had never existed, he could not help feeling a little bit.
This area has gradually spread over tens of square kilometers. In just a few years, it has become a very important cash cow of the Rovno gang.
Look at some data here in advance.
However, in the first quarter of this year, even if the global economy was in a recession under the influence of the financial turmoil, even though Ukraine was still in winter in the first quarter, Livni holiday entertainment company still generated a revenue equivalent to 270 million US dollars, with a profit of 31 million US dollars. It is estimated that in 1998, it will bring a net profit of at least 150 million US dollars to the Rovno gang. This is due to the continuous investment in the expansion and construction of the resort and entertainment center.
US $150 million, which seems to be incomparable with the profitability of any international level enterprise giant. However, in the economically depressed Ukraine, this is definitely a huge sum of money that makes too many people envious. Even though Rovno has made quite generous benefit sharing, he is still facing all kinds of covets.
What's more, the current 150 million is obviously far from reaching the profit limit of the resort and entertainment center, which can only be regarded as a start.
However, coveting belongs to coveting. The Rovno gang has become a force. If they want to seize food from this side, even President Kuchma and his family have to consider it.
Since there is no competition, just like the military theme park that Kiev has begun to imitate in the past two years, other regions of Ukraine and even Russia are following suit to build large-scale holiday and entertainment centers here.
Of course, there are no winners who can compete with us.
This success is mainly due to the successful imitation of Las Vegas gambling city model by Resort Entertainment Center.
In the beginning, the core of this entertainment center to attract tourists is actually only two kinds, women and guns.
It's very rough.
Now, women and guns can only be regarded as the adjustment. Casinos have become the undisputed core here. It's not just traditional casinos. The entertainment center has also developed underground fighting, horse racing, animal fighting and other gambling projects that are enough to make men and women blood. Even some important international sports events can be bet here.
In a word, as long as it is the type of gambling that people can think of, it can be found in the holiday entertainment center here.
Some of them are illegal and even inhumane, but who care?
Even some of the forces in Ukraine who covet the profits of holiday and entertainment centers fail to take advantage of the grey projects.
Moreover, the next step is nothing more than legislation.
It's a very interesting thing.
Just like different marriage systems all over the world, apart from monogamy, there are many countries and regions in the world that are polygamous, which is obviously not in line with the civilized ethics of this era.
And then there's some kind of primitive trade between men and women.
Some countries allow it, some regions allow it, and many of them are very developed countries.
This is obviously not in line with the norms of civilization in contemporary society.
However, why didn't the defenders who boasted of civilization manage it, resist it, take off their coats and hoarse their strength?
Because other people's laws stipulate that this is allowed.
So here's a question. Is it right that the law stipulates?
Simon didn't bother to look for any answers. He just found them interesting.
Of course, we should make good use of it.
Since there is no problem with what is allowed by law, it is a simple matter to promote legislation.
Therefore, at least in the law of the state of Rovno, casinos, horse racing and even cockfighting and dog fighting are allowed or being promoted, including some kind of original transaction, and now the decriminalization document has been passed. As long as both parties are willing, there is no coercion and other acts, then there is no problem.
Look, it's legal again.
As for whether there is a problem, who cares, making money is.
This is a digression.
In a word, after walking on the right road, this resort and entertainment center is in a state of high-speed and savage growth. Compared with the investment of various projects and the current volume, it's not too bad to describe it as "daily income" and it will only be more "daily income" in the future.
Simon arrived at the resort and entertainment center, where he was picked up by Andre ward Mirka and Alexander nagiev, the two leaders.
Spend more than an hour to inquire about the operation of the holiday entertainment center, followed by dinner time.
The two leaders temporarily called in a group of girls who were singing or performing here for company. Among them was the group of three who were singing recently. The three girls were still Simon's forbidden girls, but Simon didn't even remember his name.
It's too much.
Speaking of all kinds of performances, they are also the most successful places in the resort and entertainment center.
At present, almost every day there are dances, circuses, operas and other types of performances, as well as some late night restricted programs. Of course, they are also legal. All of them are also imitated from the Las Vegas model, and the profit is second, and the main thing is to attract tourists.
For tourists, it also gradually improved the hierarchical classification.
Ordinary working class, two or three thousand dollars a time, spend a weekend, you can have a good time. For the rich, you can bring two or three million to enjoy yourself. Of course, the attraction of Resort Entertainment Center for top players is still limited, but it's only a matter of time.
Simon came here tonight to see for himself the operation of the resort and entertainment center. He mainly met with Yuri yagushevsky and Boris olleevich, the two leaders of another "Rovno Gang".
It is mainly about the next development of the "Rovno Gang".
What to touch, what not to touch, where to strengthen, where to take the initiative to exit, involves all aspects.
At first, for the "Rovno Gang", Simon just made up his mind, and then released it. Up to now, the power has expanded all the way from Europe to North America, Asia and even Africa. It can be said that it has spread all over the world. If we continue to breed, we will inevitably have an accident. In addition, the relevant statements of the just concluded G8 summit must also be respected. Anywhere in the world, the dark forces and official hard steel have no good end.
All in all, Simon wants to cultivate an obedient underground tool, not an uncontrolled beast.
