As a professional soldier from a privileged background, Kerim Derevyanko has always been very disdainful of gangsters in the past.

However, in recent days, with Simon's indoctrination, Derevyanko has only felt that the door to a whole new world is slowly opening for him.

It turns out that the total amount of the world's drug trade can reach hundreds of billions of dollars every year.

It turns out that the sports industry controlled by the gang can be so profitable.

It turns out that Western governments can be so closely linked to underground forces.

It turns out that the huge amount of fiscal and tax revenue contributed by gangsters in the process of money laundering can affect the economic trend of a country.

As a result, when Simon revealed some of his plans, Derevyanko, who was full of adventurous spirit in his bones, immediately showed a strong enthusiasm, and immediately began to investigate and record the gangs in Rivni City that were still in their embryonic state through the power of the Derevyanko family in the Rivne regional police system, and suggested that some suitable candidates be selected from the soldiers under the UFMS to be sent to various parts of Europe as leaders together with the former KGB agents who were about to be recruited.

Simon gave it a little thought and agreed.

Professional agents are often more suitable for roles such as military advisors after joining gangs, at least in the early stage of gang development, there is still a greater need for leaders who dare to fight.

In the initial planning, in the next few months, Derevyanko's side will mainly be responsible for recruiting and training candidates, and Simon will use the intelligence team of the Westeros family to arrange suitable smuggling routes and landing areas. As for the follow-up, the Westeros system will not completely let go, however, it mainly depends on the parties themselves to fight the world.

World-class gangsters are basically decades old, and Simon is not in a hurry, and the plan will be achieved if it pays off in five to ten years.

City of Rivany, inside Simon's estate.

Arrived in Ukraine on August 16, and today is Sunday, August 21.

From the morning he and Klim Derevyanko discussed the layout of the whole thing in the manor, and it was not until about four o'clock in the afternoon that Derevyanko took his leave and left.

Sending off Terevyanko, this trip to Ukraine is basically over.

I'm leaving tomorrow, but I still have some small personal matters to deal with.

About the six small vases that were an unexpected gain from this trip.

Ekaterina Noskova;

Yulia Antonenko;

Natalia Lyudaeva;

Ivgenia Kolkoszko;

Annika Pavlenko;

Marta Boyarskaya.

Six small vases, behind the scenes, are actually six families.

No one is willing to be controlled by others, and the more capable people are, the more so, once they are strong enough, they often naturally give rise to self-reliance.

Therefore, Simon does not have absolute trust in the spokesperson of the Westeros system in Ukraine.

This requires constraints.

Simon's strategy is to put his eggs in as many baskets as possible.

No one is dominant, it will be easier to control, even if one or two spokespersons betray, the losses are within the scope of bearing.

The Ukrainian Front Military Service Company (UFMS), which is related to the military power of the Westeros system, although Simon relies more on the Derevyanko family, which has deep roots in Ukraine, still untraceably supports several backbones such as Viktor Kostelev, vice president of UFMS, to contain Derevyanko's influence.

If the Derevyanko family has a different heart, Simon can let Viktor and others take the place of Kerim Derevyanko at the first time.

In terms of business layout, Sergei Komorov's Oldek company temporarily oversees most of the Westeros system's investments in Ukraine, but does not have access to the Westeros system arms trading company, which connects the Ukrainian authorities in Kiev with African countries.

On his first night in Rivni, Simon instructed Celia to collect and sort out the family background information of the six small vases, and he planned to cultivate a force in Ukraine that resembled a 'foreign relative' spokesperson.

The six small vases are all very beautiful.

Moreover, two 14-year-olds, three 15-year-olds, and one 16-year-old, all of whom have grown to be taller than 1.7 meters, proves that girls have grown up without malnutrition, which was very common in the former Soviet Union, where the economy was declining in the 80s.

All of this implies a very high probability that the girls' family backgrounds will not be too bad, at least not before the turmoil in Ukraine in recent years.

The phoenix comes out of the chicken coop, and it is precisely because of its rarity that it has become a common saying.

The girls' backgrounds have been checked during the selection process and have been entered into the archives of the Cape Dume estate.

Celia quickly rearranged the information, and the facts confirmed Simon's guess.

This forms the basis for support.

After Kerim Derevyanko left, Simon spent the rest of the afternoon and evening meeting with the girls' families.

Ekaterina Noskova's father, Maxim Noskov, 43, served in the Soviet Navy, and after retiring with the rank of captain, he was assigned to work at a state-owned fertilizer plant in the city of Rivni. Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Maxim was already working as deputy director of a fertilizer plant, and because of his outstanding work ability, he was almost certain to be the next director.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the new government took a completely negative attitude towards the former Soviet Union, and the management team of the fertilizer plant was ousted because most of them were members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

With the collapse of Ukraine's economy and the new management's unfamiliarity with the business, the fertilizer plant, which once produced 300,000 tons a year, is now less than half of its peak, and is basically on the verge of bankruptcy.

As a large agricultural country, Ukraine is definitely a rigid necessity for fertilizers.

Compared with the energy, power and other industries that have been closely watched by a group of oligarchs, the fertilizer field, which needs continuous investment but cannot see the benefits due to the market downturn for a long time in the future, is not taken seriously.

That's the opportunity for the Westeros system.

Simon plans to buy the fertilizer plant and put Maxim Noskov in charge of it, and when Ukraine recovers from the turmoil of recent years and agricultural production recovers, the demand for fertilizer will inevitably increase significantly. As long as Maxim's ability is as good as in the data, with the support of the Westeros system's sufficient funds, through the continuous mergers and acquisitions of the industry in recent years, it is not impossible to completely monopolize the supply of fertilizers for the whole of Ukraine in the future.

Natalia Lyudaeva's parents both work for the state broadcaster in Rivne Oblast, and both husband and wife are ordinary employees, but Natalia's uncle, Alexander Lyudaev, is the management of the broadcaster.

If you want to manipulate a country, the importance of the media cannot be overstated.

In the 2019 Ukrainian election, the presidential throne was won by the comedian-turned-political amateur Vladimir Zelensky, and the Ukrainian people who did not know the truth thought that they had finally driven out the oligarch-born **** and ushered in a new era, but the fact is that Zelensky is just the spokesperson of another Ukrainian oligarch, Igor Kolomoisky.

Igor Kolomoisky is a media tycoon who controls a large number of radio and television resources in Ukraine.

Compared with Tymoshenko, **** and others who have left the political arena one after another, Kolomoisky's experience can be called 'legendary', this media tycoon is also a member of the 'Petrovsk Gang' that rose in the Kuchma era, and once served as the governor of Petrovsk Oblast in the post-Kuchma era.

When then-President Peter **** announced the dismissal of Kolomoisky as governor in 2015, Kolomoisky, who had his own private arm, not only ignored the president's order, but also directly sent troops to Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, in the name of protecting private property.

And then there is Zelensky's coming to power.

With the inauguration of Leon Kuchma as president, Ukraine is on the verge of another wave of privatization, this time including state-owned broadcasters across Ukraine.

Simon plans to support the Lyudaev family to acquire a number of newspaper, radio and television assets in several western Ukrainian oblasts to form a local Ukrainian media conglomerate controlled by the Westeros system, which will be headed by Natalia's uncle, Sergei Lyudaev.

The fathers of Yulia Antonenko and Ivgenia Kolkoshko, Viktor Antonenko and Frankimir Kolkoshko, were originally government servants who had lost their jobs due to the political turmoil of recent years. Originally, after the two girls were chosen to be Simon's maids, Yuri and Vladimir had re-entered the municipality of Rivni.

Simon went a step further and charted a political course for them from state legislators to congressmen.

Since Akhmetov, the former richest man in Ukraine, can stuff his bodyguards, drivers, lawyers, and dentists into the Ukrainian Congress, this matter will only be more difficult for Simon.

The last Annika Pavlenko and Marta Boyarskaya.

Annika's father, Yuri Pavlenko, used to be an accountant at a state-owned timber processing plant in the northern town of Lekbani, which is close to a large natural forest farm in the north of Rivne and has been unemployed in recent years after the plant went bankrupt two years ago.

Marta Boyarskaya's father, Nikolai Boyarskaya, worked as a small supervisor in a tepid glass-processing plant in the city of Dubno, in the southern part of the Rivne region.

Simon plans for both girls' fathers to move into management at Oldek, and by the way, to buy the glass factory where Marta's father works.

Sergei Komorov had been informed in advance and did not ask for too high a position, and at the same time said that if the two were not competent enough, Komorov could let them out at any time. Because during the communication process, Komorov was deliberately given the feeling that he was doing this because he spoiled the two small vases that had just been put away, and the other party readily agreed.

As for whether Komorov understood that this was 'doping sand' to the Oldek company, Simon did not care.

The meeting began at four o'clock in the afternoon and lasted until eight o'clock in the evening.

Each family had half an hour, and Simon didn't invite them to stay and dine together in the end, which was not up to this level.

This time it's just to give the soil and plant the seeds.

As for whether the final result can be drawn, Simon does not have absolute expectations, he will only decide whether to add resources or give up directly according to the subsequent growth of the 'seed'.

After dinner, in a living room on the second floor of the villa.

Leaving tomorrow morning, Simon explained some last things to Celia and Emily, who would continue to stay in Ukraine for a few more days: "Regarding the acquisition of the fertilizer plant and the media group, I will ask Westeros to send a team to take care of this, Celia, you also need to come to Ukraine for a little more time in the near future to help coordinate these things." ”

The two girls nodded in agreement, and Catherine and Natalia came in with coffee.

Waiting for the two girls to pour coffee for a few people and were about to leave, Simon grabbed Ekaterina casually, and the girl sat on the man's lap according to Simon's strength, although she was tall, she shrunk in the man's arms like a cat, giving people a feeling of being a bird.

Although she has a 'big' name in Simon's eyes, Catherine is the most well-behaved of the six girls, and she is only 14 years old.

In the meeting a few hours earlier, Simon could also sense that Catherine's father, Maxim Noskov, was a very strong man, presumably related to his experience as a soldier and a senior management of the company. One generation is strong and the other is weak, and if the parents are too strong, the child's character will inevitably weaken.

Hence the character of Ekaterina who is well-behaved and kitten-like.

Simon used to prefer women with strong female qualities and was less inclined to vases, but Catherine made Simon experience another charm.

If it weren't for the fact that it was a little troublesome to settle, Simon once had the idea of taking the girl out of Ukraine.

In the end, I dismissed this idea.

A group of big goblins around him, let a well-behaved kitten go in, and it is strange not to be eaten into slag.

Therefore, it was decided to continue to raise in Ukraine.

Holding the girl's waist, Simon continued to say to Celia in English: "And Nana, you can find a housekeeper and two bodyguards and drivers to come over, of course, both of them are women." They will continue to live here in the future, but I need them to start learning again. ”

Celia glanced at the girl in Simon's arms and said, "Simon, it doesn't seem like there is a good school in Rivni, or will we let them re-enroll when our UFMS community is built?"

Simon shook his head without thinking about it: "Then we need to wait until next year, aren't we going to recruit a lot of teachers, let's arrange some direct classes for them, no need to go to school." The main course, well, English, this is one, and then pick some literature and art and so on, as well as dance, and also learn ballet, don't even toe. By the way, the teachers chosen must be women, and girls must have at least six hours a day outside of weekends. ”

Celia quickly jotted it down.

Inexplicably, it seems that a father on the other side is arranging his daughters' homework.

It's weird.

Of course, I didn't dare to say it.

Simon waited for Celia to write down the matter in the memo, and said: "Also, the surveillance system installed in this manor this time will not be dismantled, and it will continue to operate in the future, after you have selected the bodyguard and driver, I will let someone arrange to train them." ”
