Chapter 800.

Both the Korkosko brothers and Yuri Yagushevsky were taken to one of the largest boxes in the club, only to find that several of the Rovno gang were over here.

In addition to the brothers' father, Vladimir Korkoshko, there was also the Governor of Rivne, Andrei Smirnov, Sergei Komorov, the head of Aldec, and Alexander Lyudayev, the head of Rivne Media, and even the two heads of the resort side, Andrei Vodmirka and Alexander Nagyev, who could only accompany the last person to the table.

Also, all of these big men were sitting next to one or two pretty girls with different postures and styles.

The lights inside the box flickered in a blur, the smell of tobacco, spirits and perfume in the air mixed with each other, for people who are not used to this kind of occasion is absolutely hard to say, a middle-aged man who has been drinking red face is holding a girl in his arms holding a microphone in the box side of the small stage singing loudly and intoxicated.

A revolutionary song from the Soviet period.

The four people entered the door after a simple greeting, temporarily seated, waiting for the red-cheeked middle-aged man finished singing a song, before we exchanged pleasantries and introductions, the original Rovno gang of bigwigs this time to entertain a number of state government officials from the Rovno region west of Warren, just singing is Warren's Governor Ilya Chlpchenko.

While still not exactly on the right track, the Kolkoško brothers do know the reasons why several top government officials from the Warren canton came to Rovno.

It's mostly about power delivery cooperation.

Telecommunications and so on are missing.

Nowadays, with the unstinting support of the Westeros system, the industries in Rovno are developing extremely rapidly, and a factory has been erected in Rifne, the state capital, and other parts of Rovno.

In fact, this problem was already anticipated last year, so funds were introduced to start the construction of unit 4 of the Rovno nuclear power plant, except that the new unit will not be commissioned until next year, and both the Rovno nuclear power plant and the original thermal power system have reached their limits in terms of electricity supply to Rovno, so much so that many areas of the state are now experiencing regular power outages in order to ensure industrial electricity.

Considering the future prospects of the Rovno region, a thermal power plant with a planned capacity of 2,000 megawatts and a capacity of 10 billion kWh per year has been planned at the same time as the construction of the fourth unit of the Rovno nuclear power plant, but, like the new unit of the nuclear power plant, it is unlikely to be completed in a short period of time and will only temporarily bring in power resources from other neighboring regions.

This is a good thing for all parties.

Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Ukrainian region was able to generate 290 billion kWh of electricity per year, and there was no shortage of electricity resources. As the economy fell into collapse after the collapse, except for a few nuclear power plants that were operating reliably, thermal power plants across the states shrank dramatically, and by the end of two years, Ukraine's annual power generation capacity had plummeted to 170 billion kWh, a drop of more than 40%.

Electricity generation fell and the power infrastructure was still in place that year, especially thermal power plants, which could have been significantly boosted in a short period of time if the funding was available and the demand existed.

The main issue now is still funding.

After all, unlike nuclear power plants, which can operate reliably for decades at relatively low cost as long as they are built, coal-fired power plants need to burn a lot of coal to generate electricity, coal is expensive, and in addition, to bring in power from other states, the grid lines need to be upgraded, which also involves money.

The good news is that this problem is relatively easy to solve on the Rovno State side. Anyway.

Business had been discussed during the day, and tonight the box was for entertainment.

Vladimir Kolko calls out to his two sons to come over, only to have them make more contact with the rest of the Rovno gang, while the two Yagushevskis, after a brief stay, take their leave of their own accord, all parties want to avoid suspicion after all.

And so the fun continued late into the night.

Several high ranking government officials from the state of Volyn and their fancy girls rushed to the hotel area to stay, the Kolkoško brothers were to stay and continue and were shouted at by Vladimir Kolko to leave with them, Kirill Kolko protested a word and got a slap on the back of the head and was suddenly honest.

Arriving at the parking lot, one of the brothers' subordinates came forward to report that he had already watched the siblings he had met a few hours ago return to the hotel area without further problems. And, this clever subordinate also helped to find out the identity of the sister and brother's mother.

Vladimir Korkosko heard his son's subordinate report the incident, asked a few more detailed questions, and also confirmed that his two sons had not lied to him before pulling them into a Mercedes sedan, where he sat in the back, with his older son beside him, and the younger son was driven to the passenger seat.

When the car started, Vladimir Korkosko, tired from a long day's work, leaned back in his leather seat, not forgetting to say to his eldest son next to him, "You did a good job with that thing you just did."

Kirill in the front row squirmed, "If we'd known it was the woman in the recent rumors, Nick and I wouldn't have cared."

As soon as that was said, Vladimir prodded again and unceremoniously smacked his second son on the head.

Kiril just rubbed his boarded-up head, getting used to being beaten up more than enough, and couldn't help but remember his sister's little tantrum in front of their two brothers, totally infected by her father, ah.

Having smoked his second son, Vladimir still managed to teach him a lesson: "Never think like that again, haven't you two always admired and worshipped Simon? Keeping this up is only good for you two idiots, just like last year, why our family is fine and still getting more of Simon's attention is because we all know how to put ourselves in the right place."

Kirill saw his father begin to nag, even said, "I know, old man."

Vladimir is going to raise his hand again, think or put it down, the two sons have been playing skin to skin since childhood, and have not seen much change. The good news is that this kind of recklessness, put in the current turbulent times in Ukraine, but can mix a little better. At least, the two sons are now operating a variety of business, development is actually quite good.

Nicholas Korkosko, who was more or less smarter and more stable than his own brother, waited for his father to finish lecturing his brother, remembered what happened in the box, and said, "Dad, Chrypchenko invited us to open a factory directly in the Volyn region, I think this is a good idea, why do you all seem to be uninterested?"

Kirill heard his brother say that, and again, "Yeah, Dad, this will also allow us to grow our Rovno gang's power over there by the way, and just swallow the state of Warren in the future."

This was sort of business.

It was also somewhat comforting for the two sons to bring this up, and Vladimir, moving in his seat to make himself more comfortable with some of the recent year or so that he'd been getting a little fat, didn't shy away from the front row driver's heartthrob, and said, "Now is not the time, we need to get our roots in Rovno Canton as deep as we can before we can try to expand outward. "

Kirill said, "I think it's pretty deep now."

Vladimir shook his head and simply took out a cigarette, seeing his second son in the front row twisting very attentively and poking over a lighter to light his own cigarette, sticking his head out and lighting it, and pulling down some windows before saying, "Actually, quite a few people in our circle share your opinion, and others have made suggestions to Simon, only to be vetoed by him because none of them saw the point , we seem to have complete control of Rovno State, but that control is far from extreme, and it will still be very troublesome if there is a change of heart on Kiev's side, or if we make up our mind to move against us."

Nicholas wondered, "And how is that extreme?"

Vladimir remembered the young man's words from his last meeting with Simon and said, "We won't be truly entrenched until we have tied millions and millions of people to this train of Rovno's gang through our interests, and if this train goes bad, millions and millions of people will have to go down with it, to the point where they will have to stand firmly behind us, to that extent. "

Nicholas had a realization.

Kirill seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but stare again at his father from the front row, "Dad, there are only a million people in the entire Rovno region, if we're going to bind ten million people, that's exactly what we need to develop out."

Vladimir shook his head, "Of course not, we don't need to develop out, but we can attract more people to Rovno oblast, think about it, how many people were in Rivne two years ago, and how many are there now?"

Kirill, obviously not too concerned about that, tries to ask, "Half a million?"

Vladimir shook his head, not letting his two sons speculate any further, and said directly, "It's been over 800,000 recently."

Two years ago, when the Westeros system hadn't yet made a strong effort to open up Rovno, Rivne, the capital of the state, was suffering from an economic collapse and many people were fleeing the city for subsistence, either returning to the countryside to farm or smuggling themselves to Western Europe, so much so that the original population of nearly 300,000 had fallen to just the early 200,000 left.

Now, because the Westeros system has opened many of the foundries of its companies such as Nokia, Tinkerbell, LTD, etc. on this side of the border, and because of the development of the local industry centered on Aldec, the gradual demand for hundreds of thousands of laborers is attracting people from all over Ukraine to gather here, and according to the latest statistics, the population of Rivne, the state capital alone, has swelled to over 800,000, and it continues to increase rapidly, and is expected to surpass one million before the end of the year.

Passing one million is still only the beginning.

If all the planned business plans could be implemented, it would not be impossible for Rivne to surpass the Ukrainian capital Kiev and develop into a super-city with millions or even tens of millions of people in the future, after all, the city, behind which stood a super-economy with a volume of trillions of dollars, equivalent to dozens of times the GDP output of Ukraine, which was around $45 billion this year.

The brothers were also a little surprised to hear the figure of 800,000.

However, thinking about the large number of apartment buildings that the construction company of Aldecker has been building non-stop in the north of the city, they probably understand.

What the two brothers didn't know was that, because of the rapid expansion of the population, not only the prices of houses for sale and lease in Rivne city had risen sharply, but also a large shantytown with more than 100,000 people had appeared in the west of the city.

This is also a matter of great concern for Rivne and Rivne city authorities.

The massive shantytowns are fine now, but in winter, think of the temperatures in northern Ukraine that can reach -30 degrees Celsius, if not handled properly, freezing to death is not impossible. And because the shantytowns are so dense and use simple slabs, a fire would be an equally likely catastrophe that could cause a firestorm.

Vladimir Kolko knows that he is not very good, and that he has come this far entirely on someone's watch, and since they are interested in putting him in the governorship in the next few years, he also intends to completely establish himself in Rovno oblast, without any intention of hitting the core of Kiev.

People know what they are doing.

Although they do not know this proverb from the East, the Kolkoško family, father and son, in the end, have all gotten to where they are because of their determination to put themselves in the right place. After all, thinking about the family of the former governor, Smirnov, who was completely beaten to dust, and the internal purges that had taken place several times before to consolidate the Westeros system's control over the Rovno region, anyone who wasn't stupid could understand that the young man was far from seeming harmless because of his age.

In short, the problem of the shantytowns had become a problem of its own in Vladimir's mind as well.

After a moment's consideration in this way, Vladimir Kolko remembered what he had insisted on dragging his two sons home to say today, and looked to his oldest son: "Over at the amber mines, leave some of the best ore to your sister for the next few months."

Nicholas hadn't taken a position yet, and Kirill objected again from the front row, "Dad, my sister uses so much better stuff than we do on a regular basis, and she already took several boxes last time, so there's no need to keep it all for her, right? We've just opened up the Chinese side of the market, and I didn't think the Chinese would be so keen on amber and pay so much for it, but they want the best. We just recently traded a shipment of amber for 100,000 televisions and the freighter is already in the Red Sea, and hey, Chinese televisions are so much cheaper than Western Europe right now, and I hear they're having a price war that's causing a huge inventory backlog, so all in all, we'll probably make about $3 million this time around."

Vladimir Kolko didn't explain much more this time, but just put up his father's authority and let his two sons do as they were told.

As for the reason for letting the brothers keep the best amber, it was not for their daughter's own use, but after learning of her experiences in the United States over the past month, they intended to have her give it as a gift to Janet Westeros in Los Angeles at the end of the year.

A certain thing that the three girls had experienced after a month of experience, after all, had added decades of life experience that Vladimir could better understand.

Although the daughter was summoned to the Dume Point manor to be trained for half a month, but on the other hand, this is actually considered to be a kind of recognition of the real wife of the Westeros family.

As such, by pleasing that lady a little more, the daughter's position beside Westeros would be more secure, and correspondingly, the Kolkoško family, in the Rovno region, would also be more secure, so to speak, with many benefits.
