Chapter 972 - Tymoshenko's Solicitation

Chapter 58.

Latest chapter!

"We have selected a site on the west bank of the Dnieper River in northern Kiev, 30 kilometers from the city, with a preliminary plan of 50 square kilometers, and Mr. Prime Minister has also agreed to establish this new military theme park as a national support project with the most favorable policy support. Alec, and Andrei, since you are also here, I simultaneously extend an invitation to both of you, as long as you agree to jump over here, in addition to a generous salary, I can also give you a certain amount of shares, and together we can replicate a large resort entertainment center in Kiev, you should understand that the advantages of Kiev are completely incomparable to the Rivne region."

Spa Resort, inside the Club Box.

Patiently listening to Tymoshenko's ramblings, Andrei Vodmirka and Alexander Nagyev looked at each other, and Nagyev asked, "Yulia, I'm curious, where do you get your funds from? Such a large military theme park over twice the size of this side of Rovno, not considering all the other issues, just the capital to build it, would require over $50 million in the most conservative estimate."

As the economy continues to deteriorate and the first generation of Ukrainian currency, issued in 1991, has become virtually useless, the Kiev authorities are mulling another currency reform, expected to be issued in the second half of the year, for the country's upper echelons, which, when it comes to business issues, many have become accustomed to using the dollar, pound and other currency units directly.

The military theme park in Rivne Oblast, Simon invested $30 million before and after, and Tymoshenko wants to create a military theme park on the outskirts of Kiev that costs more than twice as much as this side of Rivne Oblast in all respects, $50 million, is indeed a conservative estimate beyond conservative.

It is now rumored that Tymoshenko, with the support of Lazarenko, controls the entire gas business in Ukraine, even saying that his control of the business is equivalent to one-fifth of Ukraine's GDP, but in reality, if you do not count those nominal assets, Tymoshenko does not have much money in his hands, and even gas imports from Russia need to be on credit.

Actually, it was also Tymoshenko's short haircut.

If this strong woman can have ten or twenty years of business time, may be able to reach a real ten billion dollar fortune, limited to Ukraine's own economic volume, ten billion dollars is also the wealth ceiling of this country's tycoons. And now, do not say ten billion, Tymoshenko actually does not even have a billion, after all, the gas queen after all is only a second way to sell, through the administrative monopoly from Russia wholesale gas bulk to all parts of Ukraine, rather than those Russian oligarchs who really control a large number of oil and gas fields.

That's actually why Tymoshenko is interested in a 'small business' like a military theme park.

As for the $50 million in cash, Tymoshenko is even more unlikely to come up with it easily.

Yulia Tymoshenko did not expect Nadjiyev to ask the direct question, but her expression did not break at all and said, "I have contacted several overseas banks, and given the success of the military theme park here in the Rivne region, they are all very interested in the project, and there is no problem with funding."

Andrei Vodmirka asked again, "Yulia, have you ever considered working with Simon?"

At this question, Tymoshenko's eyes clouded a little, but he quickly regained his composure and shook his head, "The Kiev project should conflict with Mr. Westeros's plans, and I would still prefer to do it myself."

In fact, working with the Westeros system was certainly considered.

Tymoshenko had already contacted Simon's representative for Ukraine, Celia Miller, and furthermore, the powerful Ukrainian woman has made several attempts over the last two years to establish contact with the young super-rich man, and the entire Lazarenko group wanted to get on board the Westeros ship, but unfortunately, the other side has been negative, and the Westeros system, in addition to its deep roots in Rivne, has only been a major contributor to the Kiev authorities' efforts. Maintain close ties with the Kuchma line.

As with the unformed St. Petersburg gang on the Russian side.

However, unlike the St. Petersburg gang, which was later tightly controlled by a certain emperor for 20 years, there has been a split within the Petrovsk gang since Leon Kuchma took power in 1994. Although Kuchma promoted Lazarenko to prime minister last month, it was only the result of a game of chance, and deep fissures already existed among the factions within the Petrovsk gang.

A few simple questions, and Andre and Alexander already understand things in general.

The 'confidant' of the current PM Lazarenko must have tried to work with the Westeros system and was rejected, so he quietly came to the digs. As for the military theme park project on the outskirts of Kiev, there is now apparently nothing but ideas.

Tonight's meeting was only going to be a perfunctory one, and the two couldn't have any intention of jumping ship.

Now there was even less interest.

The theme park where it is so easy to do, let's say the Rovno state side, although just a very rough military theme park, but from the initial planning, to the construction of the project, to the marketing before and after the opening, to the current trial operation, every step is full of all kinds of doorways, can be said to reference the Hollywood decades of accumulated experience in theme park operations.

Even the current three joint integrated resort entertainment centers, the same is true, although this side is just a small sparrow with all its organs in front of those world-class entertainment centers.

If someone thinks they can turn a piece of land into a military theme park with a bunch of planes and tanks, or choose a beautiful piece of land and build a house as a resort center, they will only end up with a mess after burning through a lot of money, which, by the way, can be found all over the world.

Because there's always someone who thinks things are too simple.

For example, for the military theme park here, during the planning stage, Danielle's team of consultants, who are responsible for the theme park business, deliberated on the details of how to provide an immersive military experience, not just a museum experience, how to make guests stay longer in the park, how to increase repeat visits, and so on.

Subsequent operations, how to accurately market to the maximum number of potential customers at the lowest cost, how to make it easier for tourists to reach the Rivne, how to ensure maximum safety, etc. etc.

Even with the experience provided by the Universal Studios team in Westeros, a lot of details had to be adjusted to the local conditions to create a complete and effective operating system for the military theme park in the Rivne region and to reach a monthly revenue of 2 million in the current pilot phase of the theme park.

It is not an easy task to do well in any business.

It was by personally participating in the entire process of this side of the project from its initial planning to its current initial success that both Andrei and Alexander became more determined to follow a certain young boss, as both understood that they could only go further within such a vibrant and efficient business system.

Thinking this way, Alexander didn't mince words and shook his head at an expectant Timoshenko, "I'm sorry, Yulia, but I won't accept your invitation."

Timoshenko subconsciously looked at Andrei Vodmirka.

Andrei shook his head as well.

Timoshenko didn't give up right away either: "Guys, there's no need to refuse like that, you can seriously consider it and give me an answer in a few days."

"No need."

Alexander shook his head once again, and also simply got up, in a gesture of sending his guests away, and extended his hand towards Timoshenko: "Since you're here, Yulia, you can spend a few days in Rovno State, and although Andrei and I don't plan to jump to work for you, you can always contact me if you have any questions."

Timoshenko saw the two of them getting up one after the other, and had to get up from the couch, and reluctantly shook hands with them again, not holding back in the end, and finally said, "Alec, Andrei, I still want you two to reconsider, this is Ukraine, we're all Ukrainians, aren't we?"

Alexander and Andrei were both stunned at the words, not responding for a moment to whether there was any other meaning to the woman's words in front of them, or, just pure, naivety?

Sending Tymoshenko away, they returned to the box and sat down.

Andrei poured a glass of wine for each of them, handed one to Alexander, sat on the couch and asked, "What do you think of this just now?"

Alexander Nagyev took the wine and shook his head, "It's not something we need to think about, but I'll write a report to Celia informing her of this."

Andrei nodded approvingly.

The two of them were still not even a small distance away from the core of the Westeros system here in Rovno, and although the theme park and resort businesses were gradually getting on track, it was necessary to show their presence as much as possible if they wanted to attract the attention of that high-flying young man, so that they could inform in time and also show their own loyalty.

Taking a sip of red wine, Alexander asked about another matter, "That Benshikov hasn't caused any trouble lately, has he?"

"No, very honestly."

So saying this, Andre still smiled a little bitterly.

The two had picked the girl for their own boss, but they hadn't expected to slip up soon enough, one of them, Galina Banshikova's father, had gone on a drunken rampage when the girl came home and beat her up, along with her mother and sister.

Men beating their wives and children, this kind of thing is not really a big deal, but the point is that in case this is known to someone, it is likely that they will think that they did not handle the details well.

It wasn't really much to blame the two.

The six girls, now that they had been accepted by their own bosses, had then actually wanted to go ahead and make the arrangements, only occasionally mentioning it in a chat with Sergei Komorov, the oldest Westeros system core in Rovno, who reminded them that they didn't need to do it because someone else would be in charge.

The two then also thought of the six families behind the original six girls at the villa south of the city.

So they decided to wait and watch for the time being.

They didn't expect to watch out for trouble on a short watch.

The two are also resolute, after getting the news of Eve Bessonoskova, resolute to catch the guy who is not even quite awake with wine, initially thinking of directly digging a hole and burying him, once and for all, but of course can only think about it, even if the situation in Ukraine is now very chaotic, human disappearances abound, there are some tactics until the end or can not be easily used.

If you will only dig a hole to bury people, but it will look very low-level.

The two of them simply forced Banshikov to sign a divorce agreement, for which he also broke one of the other's legs, and finally legally cut off the other and the mother and daughter of the three contacts, some ordeal down, there was no backbone Maxim Banshikov also completely soft.

Of course things are not over yet.

In order to avoid any moths, the two of them simply placed Banshikov in the spa resort, and very cleverly recruited a few of their 'good buddies' to come over as well.

The current Rovno region, as long as they can get in touch with the Westeros system, even the most peripheral of the most peripheral, many people also dream of it, not to mention the growing reputation of the spa resort side, even with the qualifications of those punks can only do some errands and odd jobs, is also enough to satisfy, so to Andrei Vodmirka who gave them a job can be said to be obedient.

Then it was the last step, let the group of gangsters look out for Banshikov, if there is no problem, they can always eat and drink here, and maybe even further ahead, if some problems, they will all be bad luck, in order to avoid bad luck together, they also have the right to make certain early disposal.

Things were sort of done that way.

Andre and Alexander also did not hide the fact that the big boss was not qualified to make direct contact, so they took the initiative to submit the matter to Celia Miller.

Unexpectedly, they quickly received a direct response from the big boss.

The gist of it was that the two had handled the situation well, yet they didn't have to draw a line in the sand. This apparently fits with Komorov's reminder that they don't need to bother with the other girls' families, just keep an eye on this one.

The two actually felt sorry for Benshikov.

The guy might have been able to rise to the top with his daughter if he hadn't made such a move, except that the other guy apparently started doing something stupid before Westeros had finished some background checks and such, only to end up in a situation where the two of them had to clean up after him, and apparently didn't have much of a chance in the future.

Referencing the Big Boss's arrangement with those six girls' families in the first place, it could be considered very generous, but at the same time, there wasn't much room for mistakes. Even though the other three girls were relocated later, those three families are just the most ordinary people in Rovno region, living a carefree life and never having a chance to get ahead.

Maxim Banshikov is tantamount to using up an early opportunity to make a mistake before he has a chance to get ahead, and then there will be no more then.
