The planned UFMS family community covers an area of 30 hectares and has been carved out of a large area of wasteland directly on the western outskirts of Rivni, so there is no need for a very troublesome demolition.

Simon and his party arrived at their destination, and it was already a busy scene.

Thousands of workers and a large number of construction vehicles of various types are carrying out preliminary leveling of the vast land plot that cannot be seen as far as the eye can see.

Because of the very rich land resources, it is expected that only the first 500 soldier families will be housed on 30 hectares of land, and each family will receive a unified 500 square meters of independent courtyards, excluding the land for public facilities such as roads, schools, and hospitals.

Such placement specifications, if it were in the United States, Simon would definitely not be able to play.

At this stage, the 500-square-meter Duli Courtyard in Los Angeles costs two or three hundred thousand dollars even if the location is worse, and if it is a prime location in Beverly Hills, it may cost more than one million dollars. But here, the entire UFMS family community, including all the costs of land acquisition, house construction, road construction, etc., is only $3,000 per family on average, and the total community construction budget is $1.5 million.

$1.5 million is not enough for Simon to buy a mansion in some metropolis.

However, for Ukraine, where the average monthly income of residents is less than $30 at this stage, this is a very large amount.

In the simplest calculation, $3,000, based on an average monthly salary of $30, is already equivalent to the total income of a Ukrainian resident for 8 years.

In fact, most residents do not earn $30 a month at all.

As a result, the planned two-storey European-style buildings with a courtyard area of about 200 square meters per household are already luxury in Rivni, and many of the city's neighborhoods are still large tracts of cheap wooden houses.

Rivni is different from Los Angeles, a Ukrainian inland city at the same latitude as northeast China, with long and bitter cold winters, with temperatures often reaching minus 20 or 30 degrees.

Speaking of which, this state of decline has been in place since the Soviet Union in the seventies and eighties, and it is only in recent years that it has completely fallen into hell.

Community construction site site.

Simon walked on a plot of land that was about to be built into a school, and after listening to Komorov's introduction, he asked, "How are you preparing to recruit teachers?" ”

Sergei Komorov gestured to Celia and said, "Lady Miller is in charge of this matter, but I think it must be going well. ”

In recent months, Celia has been trying to learn Russian, roughly understands Komorov's words, and said to Simon: "Boss, the recruitment of teachers has started last month, and now many schools in Ukraine are in a state of shutdown because they cannot pay salaries, including some universities, if you want to, I can even recruit a full professor-level teaching team." ”

Simon knew that the domestic situation in Ukraine was very bad, and he was still a little surprised to hear that schools were starting to shut down: "Is it so serious?"

"The former Soviet Union attached great importance to education, especially in the economically developed regions of Ukraine, where at its peak there were more than 1,000 higher education schools in Ukraine alone. However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, due to the government's financial constraints, many schools have been closed one after another, and many senior teachers with high qualifications are unemployed. ”

Simon didn't know what to say for a moment.

If even the education system of a country begins to collapse, it will have no future at all.

Think of some of the things in Ukraine in memory, where national treasure-class aircraft design experts were beaten in the streets, dying old scholars in their seventies and eighties had to run for the most basic livelihoods, former combat heroes were not given the slightest respect they deserved, and combat troops who carried out orders were forced by politicians to kneel in the streets to appease public anger...... Such a country really has no hope or future.

Celia didn't understand what Simon was thinking, and seeing that the boss didn't speak, she continued to add: "When we were in Kyiv the day before yesterday, I received a handwritten letter from a retired professor of the Department of Physics of Kyiv National University, who saw our recruitment notice in the newspaper and very earnestly hoped to try to get back to work, he is 67 years old this year, and said that he is still in good health, but since last year, he has not received a minimum pension of 1 million Ge per month for half a year, and his family life is very stressful." ”

The Gosv currency is the currency unit of Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and its full name is 'hryvnia'.

Simon stopped, listened to Celia talk about it with a calm face, and finally asked, "How much is 1 million coins?"

In the exchange in recent days, when it comes to currency, in order to facilitate understanding, people around him will automatically help Simon convert into dollars, and he doesn't care too much about the exchange rate of the Ukrainian currency.

Celia took out her wallet from her Hermes satchel, looked for it, took out a banknote with a face value of 200,000 gold and handed it to Simon, and said: "This one, about 95 cents, the Ukrainian currency collapsed at the same time as Russia last year, but the Kiev authorities have not yet issued a new currency like Russia." ”

Simon took the 'large' bill handed over by Celia, 200,000 Gol was only equivalent to 95 cents, and the 1 million Gol Dollar pension owed to a retired professor was less than $5.

For some reason, a strong sadness suddenly rose in Simon's heart.

Glancing at the busy crowd on the construction site, Simon asked again, "What about them?"

Celia understood what Simon was asking, and replied skillfully: "The average daily salary is about 100,000 Ge yuan, which varies depending on the type of work, and we will also provide a lunch." ”

Simon nodded, thought for a moment, and said to Celia, "Recruit according to the size of 1,000 teachers, as you just said, choose the best as you can." ”

Celia said, "Boss, it's too much, isn't it?"

Although the education benefits of UFMS will benefit all the children of soldiers, in fact, many soldiers are still single, even if the average child of 5,000 soldiers is calculated, 1,000 teachers teach 5,000 students, and the teacher-student ratio is 1:5, even many of the world's top universities cannot be compared.

What's more, this is only primary education, and too many teachers are even less necessary.

Simon insisted: "Not only the children of soldiers, but also soldiers of UMFS will continue to be educated, and they will need to be proficient in at least one foreign language, which will be taught by our team of teachers." In addition, the school does not need to limit the children of soldiers, but can also recruit students from the whole society. However, in this regard, we will only accept children who are bright and hardworking, and as long as they meet these conditions, the Westeros system can provide the same tuition waiver as the children of soldiers. ”

Simon doesn't believe in the human heart, but he does believe that any effort will be rewarded in some way.

Education is one of the most rewarding investments.

There may be some reckless heroes in this world who are illiterate but climb to the top of the pyramid, but in general, it is definitely the well-educated and highly educated people who occupy the majority of the top of the pyramid.

Now that the country has completely lost its direction, Simon doesn't mind cultivating more elites for them in order to gradually take control of the country.

After visiting UMFS Family Community in the morning and several of Aldeck's factories in the afternoon, Simon and his party returned from a quarry south of Rivni after dark.

The convoy entered the city from the main road in the south of the city, and had just turned left to pass through a residential area, when it suddenly stopped due to some obstructions.

Simon is in the carriage discussing with Celia about the training of the women's guard team on the Ukrainian side.

As in North America, 100 girls have been recruited here.

However, because the girls here are not in a hurry to use it, Simon is also more patient with the training of this batch of Ukrainian girls, and plans to work slowly to train them. So the girls did not go to military bases for training, as in North America, but were placed in Kyiv to receive intensive foreign language training and some professional skills education for former KGB agents recruited from Ukraine by the Westeros system, of course, not the 'swallow' kind.

Sensing the sudden halt of the convoy, Simon looked ahead.

The black car in which the other bodyguard was riding was blocked from view this time, and the outdoor light was also a little dim, so I didn't know what was going on for a while.

It wasn't until the driver talked to the bodyguard of the previous car through the walkie-talkie that he turned his head and said to Simon: "Boss, there was a gangster fight in front of me, blocking the road." ”

As the driver said this, Ken Dixon had already gotten out of the car in front of him, and Sergei Komorov and Kerim Derevyanko, who had been following Simon's convoy to go home, also got out of the car.

Simon told Celia a word, and he pushed the door and got out of the car.

Seeing Simon get out of the car, Ken Dixon and several other bodyguards quickly escorted Simon in the center.

Except for Simon's convoy, there were few other vehicles on this road, and everyone stood directly in the middle of the road and looked forward, about twenty or thirty young people happened to block an intersection not far ahead, armed with blades and sticks, and were in a mess. Looking around, there were people shouting loudly in the melee, some people had their skin open, and some people fell to the ground, which was very lively.

Ukraine bans guns, but the number of civilian guns is actually very large.

It seems that these young people have not lost their minds, and they are very obedient to the rules of the road, and only use cold weapons

Roman Niscuk, the mayor of Rivni, who had been following Simon for a day, walked over with an embarrassed look on his face and said apologetically: "Mr. Westeros, it really worked for you, and I will notify the police department to come and arrest these bastards." ”

There was no need for Roman Niscchuk to inform the police, and when he found that a conspicuous convoy of apparent invigilance had been blocked by himself, and even the two bodyguards closest to them had already taken out the automatic rifles used by the army, a group of gangsters quickly stopped the brawl and cautiously divided into two groups, supporting their own wounded or unconscious brothers and scattering into the surrounding streets and alleys in the blink of an eye.

In the sunset that came diagonally, there were several shocking traces of scarlet blood on the ground at the intersection, and the residential area, which was certainly not short of residents, was also silent.

Seeing that Simon was still standing still and looking at the blood at the intersection, Roman Niscchuk had to pull Klim Derevyanko next to him. Although this matter is not directly related to him, if this young tycoon, who is also a well-eyed man in Ukraine, is unhappy and turns his anger on him, this market position will not be very secure.

Derevyanko, who had been on the battlefield more than once, was not dismissive of the small scene just now, and had been watching the excitement with Simon, and when he noticed Nisychuk's movements, he said to Simon: "Boss, it's just some little ruffians fighting, there's nothing to see, let's go back early." ”

Simon nodded, got into the car, and waited for the Mercedes to start again before he said to Celia beside him: "Change the plan temporarily, I will stay here for one more day." ”

Celia was just stunned, quickly agreed, thought for a while and said: "Because in recent years, too many people have lost their jobs and young people lack livelihoods, and gradually many people have joined gangs. When the family community first started construction, some gang members came to provoke it, and when Kerim came forward once, no one dared to harass him again, and this kind of thing will not affect us at all. ”

Simon certainly understands.

Even if the layout of the Westeros system in Ukraine is not yet deeply rooted, it is definitely not something that some gang members dare to provoke at will.

In particular, Rivne Oblast, which will soon be used as a base for the Westeros system in Ukraine.

Simon suddenly decided to stay in Ukraine for an extra day, just thinking about something else.

In this world, where there is light, there will be darkness.

Gangsters cannot be eliminated from the roots.

In this case, Simon intends to try to manipulate this dark force.

The Russian gangsters in memory managed to extend their tentacles all over the world, and their control was no less powerful than that of the more famous Italian gangsters.

Then, as long as you dare to fight, maybe there will be some strong help behind the scenes, and there is no reason why the Ukrainian gangsters can't do this.

Simon has no intention of profiting from the gangsters, but if he can control an underground force affiliated with the Westeros system, and in the future, if there is such a thing as the Italian mafia sending bullets to the core figures of the Westeros system, there is no need for Simon to come forward in person, and he can completely adopt a black strategy.

Until he returned to the small estate in the city center, Simon's was still thinking about it.

Entering the villa, the six girls took the initiative to greet them this time.

The girls' faces are still green, but, after last night, there are obviously a little more charms on their bodies, and they look at Simon with obvious deference and obedience in their eyes.

After a day of running around and planning to take a shower first, she just told the two girls to go upstairs to help her prepare bath water, and Emily said that there was an indoor pool in the villa, which was on the west side of the villa.

Soaking in the pool is definitely more comfortable than the bathtub.

Hearing this, Simon turned the direction directly, unbuttoned his coat casually, and the six girls did not need the man's command, or to lead the way, or to take the man's clothes, and followed in a huddle.
