Janet continued to look through her papers and said, "Tymoshenko, what do you think of the theme park they want to build in Kiev?"
"It's just tickets over there, tens of millions of dollars a year," Simon said, shaking his head casually and thinking about it. "However, there may be some security issues involved, which is troublesome."
"Security issues?"
"Yes, after all, it's not an ordinary theme park. It's a military theme park. I personally took part in the formulation of the safety regulations for the theme park in Rovno. It's very strict to ensure the safety of tourists to the greatest extent, even if the fun of the park is lost. It's hard to say about Kiev. In case they mess around and get tourists killed or injured, the theme park in Rovno will also be affected by public opinion. "
"That's a problem," Jennie said
, but maybe Simon laughed. "Even if there is no such a large scale of investment as universal studios, according to Tymoshenko's assumption, at least tens of millions of dollars of investment, Tymoshenko can not afford to pay so much money now, and can only borrow overseas. If there is a high-level change in Ukraine in the next few years, such as Lazarenko being taken by Kuchma, the project may be ruined. "
Janet finished reading the documents in her hand, closed the folder and said, "I don't think so. Even if razarenko loses power, after all, the military theme park in Rovno is so profitable. Maybe someone will want to take over and continue, such as Kuchma."
Simon just shrugged and didn't deny the possibility.
In the final analysis, the rift and conflict between Kuchma and razarenko is still a conflict of interest.
The main reason why the rift between the two sides did not spread to Rovno state is that they are fighting for more valuable heavy industrial assets in eastern Ukraine. These assets are concentrated in petrovsk state, the home of petrovsk Gang, and later Donetsk state, which is famous. Not only because they are close to Russia, most of the heavy industrial groups left by the former Soviet Union are in eastern Ukraine, Moreover, 90% of Ukraine's internal coal resources are in Donetsk.
Because of all kinds of natural gas related news later, the outside world always thinks that Ukraine is a country lacking in energy.
This is not the case.
The coal reserves in eastern Ukraine, if well utilized, will be enough for Ukraine to burn for a century.
This is also the proven coal reserves.
Unfortunately, due to the long-term turmoil and chaos in this country and the involvement of various interests, the coal mining assets in the East Ukraine region have not been fully utilized. Instead, they have to spend poor foreign exchange to import natural gas from Russia, so they are constrained by Russia everywhere.
Let's look at the more and more prosperous luovnuo area in Xiwu. At the beginning, Simon purchased a large number of local state-owned assets with Sergei komorov's aldec company as the shell, but at the present stage, most of the industries in luovnuo area are the result of Simon's huge amount of real money.
In addition, there is another special high-income group in the Rovno area, the ufms private army, which is more than ten times the average income of the local people. After all, it is necessary to spend money to make money, so it also drives the local economy.
It is not so easy for Simon to snatch the fruits of real money or the high-income people created by man. This is another important reason why Simon can quietly cultivate the influence of the westero system in the state of Rovno. If Simon had originally put his base area on the coast of Dongwu or the southern Black Sea, where heavy industry is concentrated, it would be hard to say whether he would have a firm foothold now.
Janet put down the surveillance information about a series of individuals or events in Ukraine and took a black file box with a thick stack of files in a leather bag.
The first page is a girl, gelina banhikova, 16 years old. She only looks at the certificate photo in the upper right corner. This is a beautiful girl like a doll, with a white and petite face, chestnut hair, big eyes and small mouth, which is completely in line with someone's preference .
So he shook the information in his hand and said, "this is another batch of relatives you plan to build, eh?"
Most of Simon's thoughts are not hidden from Janet.
Looking at Janet's file, Simon nodded, noticed the name on the page and said, "this family has been abandoned."
On weekdays, Janet is in charge of the family's intelligence network. She knows something earlier than Simon. She says, "don't think I don't know. You've taken that guy's wife and two daughters to the hot spring manor."
There's no answer.
Simon simply pretended not to hear, and still had the material about the Russian election in his hand.
Janet is just a symbolic taste, her eyes fall back on the file in her hand, skipping the information of Maxim banhikov, who later cut off her career, and looking directly behind.
Natalia banchikova, 36 years old, can give birth to such a beautiful daughter. Her mother's appearance is not bad at all. She is also a certificate photo, but she is also beautiful.The last one, EVA banhikova, 14 years old, is two years younger than her elder sister gelina, but her ID photo is more immature, which is different from gelina's 169cm height in the information, probably because she has not opened yet. EVA banhikova is only 153cm small.
When Janet finished reading it, she tut tut twice to express her dissatisfaction. Suddenly, she asked, "my cousin, speaking up, Simon, is our family also your cousin?"
Simon did not raise his head, and his tone did not hesitate: "no, it is not."
Even if the man didn't add anything, Janet immediately curved her mouth with a little satisfaction. Of course not. If it wasn't for some guy, he was so strong that he couldn't even fight over the old man. Simon Johnston should be the one around him. He was originally a family member. What's the relationship.
She leaned over and got a little bit on the man. Janet continued to look through the files in her hand. After a moment, she said, "it seems that there are not many direct families in the 14 families, but the collateral relatives can be expanded. Simon, what are you going to do? "
Simon said: "if you want it, you can plug it wherever you need it. If you can't do it or make a mistake, you can take it down. If we are more careful, the last time is not right for the Ukrainian general election two years later. This time, it should be the member of Parliament of Rovno state. I intend to win as much as possible. "
Janet thought about it and said, "the number of members of Parliament in Ukraine is 450. There are 25 states in total. The state of Rovno can be divided into 18 states. It seems that there are not many. We can divide all our own people."
Different from the two houses of the U.S. Congress, the Ukrainian parliament adopts a unicameral system, and the election process is a special mixed election system. The number of 450 members of Congress is roughly divided into two parts, one part belongs to each constituency in the country, and the other part is distributed by each party according to the proportion of votes.
Therefore, the number of parliamentary seats each state can get is not as fair as the United States. The strong states can get 40 or 50 votes, while the weak states may only have single digits.
With the current strength of Rovno state, it is more than enough to get 20 members of Congress in the general election in 1998.
Ukraine now has a presidential parliamentary system. Relatively speaking, there is also a parliamentary presidential system. The difference between the two is very simple. Whoever is in the front has more power. For example, in the former, the president can appoint a candidate for prime minister, while in the latter, the candidate for prime minister must be nominated by Parliament.
However, Parliament still has a deep influence on the political trend of the country, especially at the present stage, Leon Kuchma is still a leader who likes to play balance rather than autocracy. Whether he is active or helpless, it means that as long as he has enough seats in parliament, the westero system can guarantee his own interests in Ukraine to the greatest extent.
Simon thought so. Hearing Janet's words, he said with a smile, "it can't be too obvious. And like Sergey and Kerim, they have too many things in hand, but they don't have the energy to be congressmen."
Janet couldn't help laughing. "Then you'll let your little lovers be congressmen. It's a mess."
Simon solemnly stressed: "it's the parents of little lovers."
Janet raised her hand and hit Simon on the shoulder.
Simon added: "in the next few years, Ukraine's economy will continue to decline. At the same time, the country's internal political situation will continue to be turbulent. More attention will only be focused on Kuchma. There will not be too many people who care who is in Parliament."
This is also a wonderful place in Ukrainian politics.
In the original time and space, Ukrainian richest man akmetov pushed all his drivers, bodyguards, dentists and other people around him to the position of a member of Parliament without causing any rebound. Later, an actor president was even more wonderful. After he was successfully elected and won a large number of seats in parliament, many actors, producers and other creators in a TV play in which the actor president once played became members of Congress.
After getting to know more about them, Simon no longer wants them to waste their time as members of Parliament.
Just like Vladimir kolkoshko, the father of evgenia, at first Simon also hoped that the other party would run for Congress. As Vladimir showed corresponding ability in the high-level government of Rovno, Simon changed his mind and hoped that the other party would take root in his own base area and directly take the position of governor in the future.
As for the number of members, it is enough to send a group of obedient puppets in the past.
Janet read the 14 files one by one, and marked some of them. Looking up again, she found that Simon was still looking through the information about the Russian election. She put down the files and came to her and asked, "what's the matter with Russia?"
Simon said, "Yeltsin is sure to win."
The two had already had some discussions about Russia, including private contact with a gray bishop of smornie palace in St. Petersburg, and Simon didn't hide it from Janet. Therefore, Janet is very familiar with Simon's layout in Russia, and she still can't help saying: "in fact, I still think that Russia can adopt the same strategy as Ukraine."Simon leaned over Janet's head and said with a smile, "don't you think our goal is too obvious?"
"Well."
"So without external goals, the Washington authorities are likely to turn their attention to us. This is actually the reason why I have reached a tacit understanding with the Bush family. This time, even if it is, the next time, it must be that the Bush family is superior to gore, because the ruling gene of the Bush family has confirmed that they prefer to turn their attention abroad. "
Janet added: "I also like to fight."
"Yes," Simon nodded and said, "all the major economies in the world, except the United States, are not very good now. There may be another global economic crisis next year. If Gore succeeds in the future and continues Clinton's ruling strategy of "the problem is the economy", the U.S. economy will continue to rise, and it is likely to reach an unprecedented height. When the economy is strong enough and there are no worries about jobs and taxes, politicians will often try to do more, and then the spearhead will be on us. Therefore, we need the Bush family to change this momentum, and even fundamentally weaken the national strength of this country through war. "
Janet listened to Simon's words, then suddenly she leaned closer and put her face on Simon's face: "Simon, you always have to think so much. Aren't you tired?"
"Not tired," Simon said with a smile, putting his arm around Janet. "Because of you."
Janet didn't worry about whether "you" in men's words was singular or plural. She said, "actually, I know you always want the world to be better."
"Not necessarily."
"Well?"
"There is such a fable," Simon said with a smile: "the hero of dragon slaughtering is elected king by the people, and then the hero on the throne begins to grow dragon scales."
Janet, of course, had heard the fable. She got closer to her man and whispered, "I'd rather you were a dragon than a hero."
Simon gave Janet a kiss on her smooth face and said, "I want the world to be better, but I only do what I can. I never want to be a hero. Or, I was a dragon that broke into the world. "
Janet can actually feel that Simon talks about something occasionally, always with a strong sense of banter and ridicule, and even out of the bad taste of the opera mentality to actively contribute to the flames, but in fact, the man's heart is a little sad about this, a kind of extreme sadness of disappointment in the world.
Because of this disappointment, Simon has been putting himself in a higher position in recent years.
For example, a few years ago, Simon felt that if he wanted to change the country and the world, he should start with the most basic education system, pay attention to primary education, and put it into action. Now, Simon is paying more and more attention to some things related to the future of mankind, such as space migration, nuclear fusion, solar energy and so on.
This kind of change is more like a worst-case plan.
When some unavoidable worst-case situation occurs, perhaps these arrangements at this time can leave a ray of life for the world and even the race.
