Chapter 988 Buyer's Market

Today is still very late to return to the hot spring manor, compared to yesterday, the manor villa in the middle of the night still seems very quiet, just look at the bright lights in the manor, obviously the girls have not slept.

did not bring back the three girls of the Holy Maiden Celestial Order.

Although the three daughters are very much looking forward to it.

However, Simon did not mean to let go, but instructed the people around him to arrange a special service team for the three girls, two each, one attendant and one guard, which was officially and clearly accepted as a confinement. As for when to eat it, it depends on the interest. It doesn't matter if you don't have time to eat it, and you don't necessarily have to fumble around with your entire collection.

A lot of times, it's just the feeling of possession.

After entering the door, it was still Evie who came to greet her, but there was no Lyudmila who couldn't wait to stick up, and let Eve help him take off his coat, Simon asked, "What about Mira?"

"Home," said Eve, remembering the absurdity of last night, embarrassedly dodging the man's gaze, and then adding as if to add a snake, "I'm going back to see my parents." ”

"Hmm. ”

Eve noticed the smile on Simon's lips as he responded, wondering if he had guessed it, or if she wanted him to do so. My sister was driven back by her, not because of last night, but, the girl was too pestering, from Simon came to the manor last night until he left this morning, she has been tightly occupying Simon, and only her sister is willing to share a little.

Deep down, of course, I hope that my sisters can dominate this man forever.

But, how is that possible?

Eve is actually very smart, her sister is a stupid girl who doesn't know how to stop in moderation, if she continues today, it will inevitably backfire, so after the man left during the day, she also forcibly sent her sister back to her parents' house in the city. This Nizi is a heartless person, every time she comes back, if she doesn't drive away, she doesn't even want to go home.

Thinking so, following the man through the hall, Eve whispered, "Boss, do you want to take a bath?"

Simon nodded.

After a busy day, coming back to soak in the hot springs is the best way to relax and relieve fatigue.

Eve watched her boss turn to the west corridor again, and Girl A, who had just accompanied her, also went upstairs directly as she did yesterday, so she subconsciously followed up the indoor bath with Marta and several other housekeepers.

Natalia Banshikova was caught in the middle of several people, entered the bath, and saw that Eve naturally stepped forward to help the woman unbutton her shirt, Marta leaned over even more attentively, knelt down without reluctance, and helped the man take off his shoes and socks, and then straightened up a little and stretched out to the man's belt, and the other two waitresses stood next to him to take the clothes, and were a little at a loss for a while.

I don't know what to do.

It's not that she can't please a region like Marta, such a man who can't even look up to a man who can't even look up to her heart for such a person that she can't even look up to her heart.

It's just that no one told her what to do at all.

Immediately, when the man swept over seemingly unintentionally, Natalia even felt a sense of depression and panic, worried that he thought she was too useless, so she subconsciously took a small step forward.

It's a pity that there doesn't seem to be a place for her by the man's side.

Fortunately, Eve, who soon discovered this, rescued her and asked her to bring the bathrobe not far away, as Banshikova hurriedly did as she was amnestied. Carefully choosing a white bathrobe that didn't know if it was suitable or not, he came back again, and the man had already stepped into the pool.

This time there was no Lyudmila to drive her, Marta was able to stay, and when the man entered the water, he followed and asked, "Boss, do you want a massage?"

Simon shook his head.

I never liked this tone, mainly because Simon was very resistant to being touched, even by people he was familiar with.

Marta's words were not some obvious hints of pink, for this sentence, this girl had quietly learned formal massage techniques in private, which belonged to the kind that can really bring relaxation to people, but I didn't expect it, obviously...... This preparation was in vain.

However, he was not discouraged, and quickly said before the other women could speak: "Boss, do you want to drink something, I'll prepare?"

Simon's arms were once again habitually climbed on the rocks on both sides, and he said, "Send a pot of tea, green tea." ”

Marta hurriedly agreed and got up from the edge of the pool.

Simon didn't forget the others, turned his head to look, and gestured up to Natalia: "Let Galena and Eva come over to accompany me, and the others can go and rest." ”

Natalia was slightly stunned when she heard this, before she reacted, subconsciously agreed, and glanced at the man's arms that were full of a certain sense of strength when she looked at the man's muscular lines, and quickly retracted her gaze, turned around and walked out of the indoor bath.

The others also left one after another, and Eve stayed until the end, placing a pair of slippers neatly on the edge of the pool, and whispered, "Boss, I'll come back later?"

"No, go to sleep. ”

Eve nodded, hesitated slightly, didn't say anything more, and got up to leave.

This is my own man.

Subconsciously, such a powerful man who is as powerful as her savior and who naturally possesses her is a matter of course.

Natalia quickly re-entered the bath with her daughters, and Marta then brought in a pot of green tea, but no one came out of the bath until Eve sent all the girls who had been waiting until late at night to rest.

The next day was still busy.

In the morning, I returned to the city of Rivni and participated in three meetings in a row with Aldecker Company, Rivni Media and the newly formed Rivni Chemical Group.

In order to match Simon's schedule, the three teams had to gather their meetings in an office building in the north of the city, from nine to twelve o'clock, three hours, one hour for each team.

For the Aldecker company, in addition to the discussion of the expansion of the enterprise in the past few months, inspired by Simon, Sergei Komorov came up with the enterprise idea of a "light industry complex", based on the Rivne region, to create a comprehensive light industry complex involving clothing, furniture, food and other aspects.

It's a very large plan.

In order to implement it, the current Aldecker company even had to streamline itself first, eliminating various industries that had nothing to do with this plan and concentrating on a series of light industries at the core.

The hour-long meeting of the Aldecker company, which was devoted to the feasibility of the proposal because of Sergei Komorov's idea, was devoted to half an hour.

Of course, the specific plan still needs to be worked out in detail, but Simon is quite optimistic about it, if Komorov can really create the blueprint of the plan, Simon does not mind the entire Westeros system to give Aldecker the greatest support.

The memory of Ukraine, because of the long-term turmoil that lasted for decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the population of more than 50 million in the early nineties was lost to 10 million in the end, and it is obvious that these 10 million people lost are absolutely the best quality labor resources.

From Ukraine's point of view, this is really a huge waste.

It is for this reason that Simon came up with the idea of building a 'European factory' in Ukraine.

In fact, if the situation in Ukraine can be stabilized, develop its economy like China, and with Ukraine's superior agricultural resources and industrial base, it will definitely become the richest country in Europe.

To be precise, no one cares about the deck at all, or the person who cares doesn't have the full strength to step onto the table.

All in all, Ukraine, which was enough to become a 'mini-Soviet Union' without cumbersomeness and no need for transfer payments, ended up being the biggest breakdown in Europe.

That's how the world is.

Wonderful and ironic.

Simon has no way of changing the status quo in Ukraine, and he doesn't have any ideas for it, but there is growing interest in creating a small economic miracle in a base that belongs exclusively to the Westeros system in Rivne Oblast.

Moreover, speaking of which, the more chaotic the overall situation in Ukraine, the more convenient it is for Simon to operate in a corner.

After all, the stronger the region, the more control the Westeros system has over the country.

Simon isn't worried about getting out of hand, either.

Compared with the strength of the entire Westeros system, and even the US government, which is bound to stand on the side of the Westeros system, not to mention a single Rivne region, even the whole of Ukraine, it is too small, and if there is a rebellion and wants to suppress it, hundreds of methods are easy.

The subsequent Rivni media mainly discussed the topic of increasing the control of public opinion over the whole of Ukraine.

Alexander Lyudaev is planning to buy several newspapers and a national television station, Ukraine is relatively not large, therefore, a national television station, naturally, is far from being comparable to the ABC television network in the United States, and it is also incomparable and valuable, so it also means that it does not cost much, and Simon naturally supports it.

Finally, the Rivni chemical group was mainly talking about the further integration of the large fertilizer plant in Odessa, which had just been finalized for acquisition, and the goal was that Simon had set the goal of controlling nearly half of Ukraine's fertilizer production and even indirectly controlling the agricultural production of such a large agricultural country.

After the completion of the merger of the Odessa fertilizer plant, the integrated Rivni Chemical Group now has a total output of more than 900,000 tons, complete nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and has been equivalent to one-third of Ukraine's current national fertilizer output of 3 million tons. It may seem like a similar goal, but in fact, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine spent close to 7 million tons of annual production.

The 3 million tonnes were the result of a sharp contraction.

As Ukraine's agricultural production resumes, fertilizer production will certainly increase, so in order to control nearly half of the country's spending, Rivni Chemical Group will need to have at least 3 million tons of annual production in the future.

Another fact that Simon gradually became aware of as the Rivni Chemical Group continued to expand, also sounded a little ironic.

As the breadbasket of Europe, Ukraine at this stage has a pitifully low utilization rate of spending.

In fact, the most direct reaction is that in recent years, Ukraine's annual grain output has halved compared with before the collapse of the Soviet Union of more than 50 million tons, and before that, in 1995, even if it continued to recover, Ukraine's total grain production was still only 24.7 million tons, still less than half of the level it once was.

At the heart of it is the collapse of Ukraine's modern agricultural system.

This is reflected in the Rivni Chemical Group, and as a result, with the continuous expansion of the scale of the Rivni Chemical Group, it is only the 900,000 tons of annual output after the current Rivni Chemical is running at full capacity, and the whole of Ukraine cannot use it.

That's right.

In all of Ukraine, compared with the peak before the collapse of the Soviet Union, at this stage, the annual national expenditure is less than 500,000 tons. Without spending, it is clear that even if Ukraine's land base is good, it will not be possible to produce enough food.

At the same time, after continuous expansion, the Rivni chemical group will not be able to occupy the meagre fertilizer market in Ukraine.

So it can only be exported.

That's the irony.

Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine, as a European mass production, was definitely the largest grain exporter in Europe.

Now, it has become one of Europe's largest fertilizer exporters, with more than 80% of its fertilizers not being used in its own country every year, but exporting to earn foreign exchange. And, on the other hand, even as an exporter, and the global demand for spending is very considerable, it is naturally not possible to get too high a price from both because it is really dilapidated and the fertilizer production in Ukraine is very fragmented.

Fortunately, with the formation of the Rivni Chemical Group, the next chemical group, led by this chemical group, will drive the integration of the Ukrainian fertilizer industry, and externally, it can also obtain considerable bargaining power.

Simon also took the initiative to help connect with some U.S. cost importers.

Prior to this, Ukraine's spending was naturally Europe, where the main export was near, and the United States was too far away and did not obtain it, and it was also not looked down upon.

As for the United States, it is also a large agricultural country, and the demand for fertilizers is very huge. Moreover, even if you have to add freight, after all, Ukraine's costs in all aspects are really connected, and the cost of this side is still very competitive in terms of price.

With the opening of the U.S. export channel, the next expansion of Rivni Chemical Group will also be smoother.

Compared with the peak, the output of related spending industries has plummeted directly, which actually means that countless Ukrainians engaged in related occupations have lost their jobs, although the price of the Livni Chemical Group for the acquisition is very low, almost about the same as Mingqiang, but now, the state of Ukraine is that as long as someone grabs it, it is a good thing. Moreover, compared to the steel interview, this kind of business really does not attract the interest of those oligarchs, and can be described as a complete buyer's market.
