Chapter 972: Tymoshenko's solicitation
We have selected a plot of land on the west bank of the Dnieper River in the north of Kyiv, 30 kilometers from the city, with a preliminary plan of 50 square kilometers, and Mr. Prime Minister has also agreed to identify this new military theme park as a national support project and give the most preferential policy support. Alec, and Andrey, since you are also here, I send an invitation to both of you at the same time, as long as you agree to jump ship, in addition to a good salary, I can also give you a certain share, and everyone will copy a large resort and entertainment center in Kyiv together, you should understand that the advantages of Kyiv are completely incomparable with the Rivne region. β
Hot spring resort, inside the club box.
After patiently listening to Tymoshenko's eloquent conversation, Andrei Vodmilka and Alexander Nagiyev looked at each other, and Nagiyev asked: "Yulia, I'm curious, where do you get your funds? Such a large military theme park, which is more than twice the size of Rivne's side, does not consider all other problems, but only the construction funds, and the most conservative estimate will also cost more than 50 million US dollars. β
As the economy continues to deteriorate, the first generation of Ukrainian currency issued in 1991 has become almost like waste paper, and the Kiev authorities are brewing another currency reform, which is expected to be issued in the second half of the year.
The military theme park in Rivne Oblast, Simon invested 30 million US dollars before and after, and Tymoshenko wants to build a military theme park on the outskirts of Kiev, which costs more than twice as much as Rivne Oblast, 50 million US dollars, which is indeed a conservative estimate that can no longer be conservative.
Now it is rumored that Tymoshenko controls the entire Ukrainian gas business with the support of Lazarenko, and even says that the scale of the business is equivalent to one-fifth of Ukraine's GDP.
In fact, it is also Tymoshenko's career time is too short.
If this strong woman can have ten or twenty years of operation, she may be able to reach a real net worth of 10 billion US dollars, limited to the size of Ukraine's own economy, and 10 billion US dollars is also the wealth ceiling of the country's rich. And now, not to mention tens of billions, Tymoshenko actually doesn't even have a billion, after all, the gas queen is, to put it bluntly, just a second-tier dealer, who sells wholesale gas from Russia to all over Ukraine through an administrative monopoly, and not those Russian oligarchs who really control a large number of oil and gas fields.
This is actually why Tymoshenko is interested in the 'small business' of military theme parks.
As for $50 million in cash, Tymoshenko is unlikely to come up with it easily.
Yulia Tymoshenko didn't expect Nagiyev to ask the key point directly, but her expression was not flawed at all, and said: "I have already contacted several overseas banks, and in view of the success of the military theme park here in Rivne Oblast, they are very interested in this project, and there is no problem with funding." β
Andrei Wardmilka asked again, "Yulia, have you ever considered working with Simon?"
Hearing this question, some gloom flashed in Tymoshin's light, and she quickly regained her composure, shook her head, and said: "The Kiev project should conflict with Mr. Westeros's planning, and besides, I still prefer to do it myself." β
Actually, of course, I considered working with the Westeros system.
Tymoshenko has previously contacted Simon's representative for Ukrainian affairs, Celia Miller, and further along, the Ukrainian strong woman has tried to establish contact with the young super-rich man several times in the past two years, and the entire Lazarenko group hopes to catch the big ship of the Westeros system, but unfortunately the other party has been negative, and the Westeros system has only maintained close ties with the Kuchma family in addition to the deep cultivation of the Rivne region.
Like the St. Petersburg gang that has not yet been formed on the Russian side, both President Leon Kuchma and Prime Minister Pavlo Lazarenko belong to the Petrovsk gang in Ukraine, including Tymoshenko, and many Ukrainian political and business oligarchs are from Petrovsk Oblast in eastern Ukraine.
However, unlike the St. Petersburg Gang, which was tightly controlled by a certain emperor for 20 years, after Leon Kuchma came to power in 1994, the Petrovsk Gang began to split internally. Although Kuchma promoted Lazarenko to prime minister last month, this is only the result of a game between the parties, and there are already deep rifts in the various factions within the Petrovsk gang.
A few simple questions, Andrei and Alexander already understand things probably.
The current Prime Minister Lazarenko's 'confidante' must have tried to cooperate with the Westeros system, but was refused, so he quietly ran to poach people. As for the military theme park project on the outskirts of Kyiv, it is clear that there is nothing but ideas now.
Tonight's meeting was originally intended to be perfunctory to each other, and the two had no intention of changing jobs.
Now, there is no interest in it.
Where is the theme park so easy to do, let's say that Rivne is here, although it is only a very rough military theme park, but from the initial planning, to the project construction, to the marketing before and after the opening, and then to the current trial operation, every step is full of various doorways, which can be said to refer to the theme park operation experience accumulated by Hollywood for decades.
Even the three integrated resort and entertainment centers that are now united are the same, although this side is only a small sparrow in front of those world-class entertainment centers, but it is also a small sparrow with all kinds of organs.
If someone thinks that opening up a piece of land and getting a bunch of planes and tanks can turn it into a military theme park with a lot of money, or choose a beautiful place to build a house and a vacation center, they will only end up with a mess after burning a lot of money, which is actually everywhere in the world.
Because there are always people who think things too simply.
Just like the military theme park here, in the planning stage, under the staff of Daenerys Entertainment's consultant team in charge of the theme park business, everyone repeatedly considered how to let visitors get an immersive military experience in the details, instead of browsing museums, and how to make visitors stay in the park for more time, how to improve the return rate of tourists for second visits, and so on.
Subsequent operations, how to carry out precise marketing to get the maximum number of potential customers at the lowest cost, how to make it easier for tourists to arrive in Rivne, how to ensure maximum security, and so on.
Even with the mature experience provided by the Westeros system from the Universal Studios team, it still had to make a lot of tedious adjustments to local conditions, and finally formed a complete and effective operation system suitable for the military theme park in Rivne, and let the theme park reach a monthly revenue of 2 million yuan in the current trial operation stage.
Any business, if you want to do well, is not a simple thing.
It was his personal involvement in the project from its initial planning to its initial success that strengthened Andrei and Alexander's determination to follow a young boss, because they both knew that they could only go far in such a dynamic and efficient business system.
Thinking so, Alexander didn't talk too much nonsense, shook his head at Tymoshenko, who looked expectant, and said: "I'm sorry, Yulia, I won't accept your invitation." β
Tymoshenko subconsciously looked at Andrei Vodmilka.
Andrei also shook his head.
Tymoshenko did not give up immediately: "Both, there is no need to refuse like this, you can seriously think about it and give me an answer in a few days." β
"No need. β
Alexander shook his head again, and simply got up, with a posture of seeing off guests, and stretched out his hand towards Tymoshenko: "Since you are here, Yulia, you can play in Rivne for a few days, although Andrei and I are not going to jump ship to work for you, but if there are any questions, you can contact me at any time." β
Seeing that the two of them got up one after another, Tymoshenko had to get up from the sofa, reluctantly shook hands with the two again, but couldn't help it, and finally said: "Alec, Andrey, I still want you two to think about it again, this is Ukraine, we are all Ukrainians, aren't we?"
Alexander and Andrei were both stunned when they heard this, and they didn't react for a while if the words of the woman in front of them had any other meaning, or, just pure, naΓ―ve?
Seeing Tymoshenko off, the two returned to the box and sat down.
Andrei poured a glass of red wine for each of them, picked it up and handed it to Alexander, sat on the sofa and asked, "What do you think about this incident just now?"
Alexander Nagiyev took the wine, shook his head and said, "It's not something we need to think about, but I'll write a report to Celia about it." β
Andrei nodded approvingly.
The two of them are still far from the core of the Westeros system on this side of Rivne, and although the theme park and resort business are gradually on the right track, it is necessary to show their presence as much as possible if they want to attract the attention of that high-minded young man, so that they can report in time and show their loyalty.
After taking a sip of red wine, Alexander asked something else: "That Banshikov hasn't caused any trouble lately, has he?"
"No, very honest. β
Saying this, Andrei still showed a little wry smile.
When the two chose the girl for their boss, they didn't expect that something would soon go wrong, and one of them, Galena Banshikova's father, went crazy when the girl came home, and beat the girl, along with her mother and sister.
Men beating their wives and children is actually nothing, the point is that if someone knows about it, they are likely to think that they are not good at handling the details.
Actually, I don't blame the two of them.
Now that the six girls were accepted by their bosses, they actually wanted to continue the arrangement, only to occasionally mention it in a casual conversation with Sergei Komorov, the oldest Westeros system in Rivne, reminding them that they didn't need to do it, because someone would be in charge.
The two of them then thought of the six families behind the original six girls in the Chengnan Villa.
So I decided to wait and see for the time being.
I didn't expect to wait and see for a short time, and there was trouble.
The two are also decisive, after getting the news of Eve Bessonoskova, they decisively arrested the guy who hadn't even woken up from drinking, and initially thought about digging a pit and burying it directly, of course, they can only think about it, even if the current situation in Ukraine is very chaotic, things that evaporate in the world abound, and some means cannot be easily used until the end.
If you only dig a pit and bury people, it will look very low-level.
After thinking about it, they immediately learned that the mother and daughter were taken to the hot spring manor, and the two simply forced Banshikov to sign a divorce agreement, and broke one of each other's legs for this, and finally completely cut off the contact between the other party and the mother and daughter from the law.
Of course, it's not over yet.
Maxim Banshikov belongs to an unpopular gangster at the bottom of Rivni, not even the underworld, after all, the underground forces in Rivne are basically strictly controlled by the Westeros system, in order to avoid any more moths, the two simply placed Banshikov on the side of the hot spring resort, and very cleverly recruited a few of each other's 'good buddies' together.
The current Rivne region, as long as it can be connected with the Westeros system, even the outermost outer, many people dream of it, not to mention the well-known hot spring resort, even if those gangsters can only do some errands with the qualifications of those little gangsters, it is enough to be satisfied, so they can be said to obey Andrei Wardmilka, who gave them a job.
Then came the last step, let this group of gangsters be optimistic about Banshikov, if there is no problem, they can always eat and drink here fragrantly, maybe they can go further, once something goes wrong, they will all be unlucky, in order to avoid bad luck together, they also have the right to make some early disposal.
That's how it worked.
Andre and Alexander also did not hide that the big boss was not qualified to contact directly, so they took the initiative to submit the matter to Celia Miller.
I didn't expect to get a direct reply from the big boss soon.
The gist is that the two of them handled it well, but they don't need to add any more snakes. This is obviously in line with Komorov's reminder, and it is obvious that the other girls' families don't need to pay attention to them, just look at this one.
In fact, the two of them also felt sorry for Banshikov.
If this guy hadn't come out like this, maybe he would have been able to rise to the sky with his daughter, but the other party obviously started doing stupid things before Westeros completed some background checks and the like, and the result could only be reduced to being cleaned up by the two of them, and there was obviously no chance in the future.
Referring to the big boss's arrangement for the original family of six girls, it can be described as very generous, but at the same time, there is not much room for error. If you make a mistake the last time, you will basically be abandoned, just like three of the six families at the beginning, even if the other three girls were later resettled, but those three families are now just the most ordinary civilians in Rivne Oblast, living a worry-free life, but it is impossible to get ahead.
Maxim Banshikov is equivalent to using up an opportunity to make a mistake before he has time to make a mistake, and then there will be no more.
