Chapter 800.

The southern part of the city of Livni used to be a gathering place for the powerful and wealthy because of the many lakes, large and small, scattered about the city, and this tendency has become more pronounced in the last two years.

The next morning, Vladimir Korkosko woke up from one of the Korkosko family's villas in the south of the city, it was still just after 5 a.m., already a middle-aged 51-year-old, sleep was starting to dwindle, while his wife, who was up, went to prepare breakfast and Korkosko jogged in the gym, not too keen on exercise, too busy with his daily routine and unable to care too much about his body. Jogging in the morning just to stay healthy.

After half an hour of exercise, he arrives in the living room at six o'clock, where the house maid delivers today's newspaper and at the same time helps him turn on the television to catch up on the various current events of the day in a slow and methodical manner.

Seven o'clock, breakfast time.

The two tired sons he had brought home by himself last night were woken up by him sending his wife to wake him up, and as he watched his second son come into the dining room naked, and touch the pretty maid of the house on her ass, and stare past him in exasperation, Kirill Kolkoshko felt his father's gaze, sobered momentarily, remembered something, gave an accosted look, turned and ran upstairs again, and put on a jacket before returning to the dining room.

Listening to his mother's readings about how he should wear more clothes on a daily basis while personally distributing his meals, he pretended to be a wooden man, picked up the cutlery and started eating.

Vladimir sipped his sweet soup, but got down to business again, asking his eldest son Nicholas, who was still somewhat decent at home, "What's up with that batch of televisions you were talking about last night, I remember you didn't used to do that?"

Nicholas: "It's the Chinese side, well, it's also Simon's people, took the initiative to help us matchmaking arrangements, Alexander said that's a woman that Simon is very important to in China, including the previous amber business, we didn't initially expect to sell at such a good price, but also that woman helped introduce us, otherwise we would definitely be screwed."

Vladimir frowned slightly, "A woman?"

Kirill, who had been burying his head in the sand, now said, "Dad, don't you know, there are some women around Simon who are very powerful, that one, ABCD, is worth billions and billions of dollars, and the Chinese one, well, Chen Qing, is also very powerful, and Alexander said she is overseeing a big corporate listing project between Cersei Capital and the Chinese government. "

Vladimir nodded a little at this, but then immediately warned, "For these people, remember, cooperation is fine, no thoughts allowed."

"Hey, how dare we, there's no shortage of them anyway."

Mrs. Kolkooshko, who was listening to the father and son talk, finally chimed in, "Nick, Kirill, do you have a girlfriend now, you should have gotten married sooner, since life is so good now."

"Mom, can you stop nagging me about this all the time, Nick and I are both so young."

Vladimir glared at his second son, "Don't talk to your mother like that."

Kirill dare not talk back, just as the maid and sent a small cake over, obviously deliberately, Kirill and made a gesture to reach over behind the maid shake, only twenty-something face pretty figure full maid dodged a bit, although Kirill did not shoot on their own, still can not help but scan the other side of Vladimir, eyes with a little pity.

Vladimir can only again angry eyes, but still did not say anything, wait for the maid to leave, before continuing just the topic: "other I do not say much, just about the tariff, you pay attention to the issue, the payment is still to pay some, do not be caught with too much handle, after all, the import port in Odessa side, now Kiev stare at us more and more eyes, out of the matter, very! Not good."

In Eastern Europe today, smuggling is rife, and many oligarchs have relied on smuggling over the years because of the collapse of the state, and there's nothing the government can do about it.

Nicholas said, "Dad, don't worry, this is already taken care of, nothing will go wrong."

"And, you two.

Kirill nodded his head repeatedly, "Uh-huh-huh."

Vladimir wanted to call again, but unfortunately across the table, a little hesitation, a solemn expression, said: "I told you last night, I intend to pin myself in the Rovno region, and my ability is limited to this area, in the future, the Kolkoško family, everything is the two of you, if you do not have the ability to next, even if Simon will care about easy to protect us, maybe only Left Ukraine to live overseas."

Nicholas felt his father's emphasis and nodded seriously this time.

Kirill didn't hang around any more, but still managed to say, "Dad, have you ever thought about living overseas, they say it's better than Ukraine."

"No matter how good it is, it's someone else's land, it's okay to go play, and if you settle, who do you think would want to leave their country and emigrate overseas if they didn't have to?"

"I might be quite willing."

"Don't talk back to your father," Mrs. Kolkoško said, seeing that her husband had reached a tipping point and was busy turning the tables, "And, Nick, you two will have to take care of your sister from now on, too."

"My sister doesn't need us to take care of her."

"It's not the same, it's not the same," said Mrs. Korkosko, who couldn't help but shake her head, "How can a lover last when she's not a wife after all."

The brothers were at a loss for words.

Considering the number of lovers someone had, this seemed to be a problem as well.

If it had been anyone else who dared to do this to their sister, the brothers would have gone over there with a guy, but, since it was Westeros, it seemed that ...... probably ...... couldn't do anything at all. After all, everything the Kolkoško family had now was given to that man, and it wouldn't be difficult for the other to take it away if they wanted to.

"Maybe," Nicholas said after a moment, "maybe my sister can be like those powerful women around Simon."

The other two men in the restaurant didn't say anything, but Mrs. Kolkoško laughed and shook her head, "No, your sister is just a stupid girl, and we don't have anyone too smart in our family." Saying another divine twist, she said to her two sons, "You two, you must find very smart girls to be your wives from now on, I've heard that the children born that way will be smarter too."

"......"

After breakfast, the brothers, who were bent on all kinds of urging by their mother, hurriedly left, and Vladimir also took a car to the state government.

As soon as they arrived at the government building in the center of the city, Vladimir's secretary greeted them, informing them that there was an impromptu meeting in the morning and sending them materials.

Vladimir came to his office first and flipped through the meeting materials with a slightly odd expression.

The subject of the meeting was about the settlement solution for the residents of the shantytown west of the city.

On the car ride home from the spa resort last night, Vladimir also thought that he needed to pay attention to this issue next, but he didn't expect to wake up today and the first meeting was just that.

And there is already a relatively quite complete solution in the materials in hand.

The two privately owned commercial banks directly controlled by the Westeros system on the Rovno side, the United Bank of Rivne and the Rivne Development Bank, would contribute two hundred million dollars to build a number of resettlement communities in the west and north of Rivne, together with the Aldec company controlled by Sergei Komorov.

Two hundred million dollars.

Again, Vladimir can't help but think of the pitiful compensation that Ukraine got from the West only two years before when it gave up its nuclear weapons.

Now, the Westeros system is $200 million on the line.

That's simply ...... more money to burn.

As Mrs. Kolko said at breakfast, the Kolko's, none of them are too smart. So, admittedly, reading the material over carefully, although it turns out that the $200 million will be an investment for the next two years and not a one-time giveaway, it seems like a bit too much of a waste.

The civilians at the bottom of those shantytowns on the west side of the city, and even the growing number of Ukrainian residents flocking to Rivne, were not worth the amount of money the Westeros system was plainly throwing away, in Vladimir's eyes anyway.

If it was for UFMS mercenaries, Vladimir could easily understand that the army has never been a gold swallowing beast, the kind that only goes in and out.

On top of that, against these people, what the hell is going on here ......?

An angel has come to Ukraine?

However, Vladimir also quickly figured out one thing: this proposal could only have been approved by Simon himself, otherwise, no one else in the Westeros system would have dared to risk such a sum of money to float it.

So, the question was, was Simon possessed by an angel?

It's obviously a joke too.

In any case, $200 million, used to build resettlement communities for those poor people, Vladimir had a hard time feeling that the money could be recouped.

After a long time in his office, during which he also made a few phone calls out, all to no avail, unable to understand, Vladimir can only assume that this is Simon really was bowed down by an angel.

At ten o'clock, the meeting began.

Vladimir arrived at the large conference room in the government building to find the other top government officials and relevant Rovno gang leaders already there, all whispering, and it was clear that no one seemed to understand the intent of this sudden proposal.

The two-hour meeting that followed saw the presidents of the two banks, Boguslav Edelman and Marek Pelman, become the protagonists, personally presenting the general plan of this proposal to the crowd.

Everyone listened attentively.

Immediately, when the two managers talked about how they wanted the state government to cooperate in drawing up the relevant bills on land allocation and property development in order to match this development plan, Vladimir Korkosko finally felt as if he had caught a scrap of it.

Because of the large influx of people, the price of land and rental prices in the Rivne region has continued to rise sharply, a fact that Vladimir was aware of.

However, this climb, after all, is only relative.

Not to mention the real estate sector of other overseas countries, even compared to the Ukrainian capital Kiev, Rivne is far behind.

So, if you're talking about developing real estate in this city, unless someone is crazy. After all, if you have money, go to London, Paris, New York, aren't these cities good? What's more, $200 million was definitely not a small amount of money, even for those international metropolises, this amount of money was enough to play a game.

As such, now that the $200 million was being thrown out, Vladimir felt that it could only be said that Simon was investing in the future. If it was clearer, that young man was planning to advance his plans and take full control of Rivne's real estate industry.

And then, think of Rivne in just two years from the early 200,000 growth to more than 800,000 population, such a growth rate, if it can be maintained, the future overtake Kiev's 3 million population volume, it is only a matter of time, more people, the demand for real estate naturally increased.

If you layout in advance and lock the city's real estate industry, future profits can be expected.

However, after thinking that he had roughly figured it out, Vladimir Kolko still felt a little pity, $200 million, really completely unnecessary.

It has to be said that this senior member of the Rovno government, who is quite loyal to Simon, really lacks sufficient vision and insight.

Sergei Komorov, who is also in the conference room and also just got his materials this morning, the head of Aldec, saw more than Vladimir. Let's just say that in one of the larger cases, East and West Germany merged, and West Germany has invested tens of billions of dollars in order to support East Germany, just a few years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and Germany has created a 'unified tax' for this purpose.

All in all, no country, no city, can rise up flat, especially a near-poor city like Rivne.

Now that the possibility of a rise has been seen, further development will require a complete commitment of real money to solving various livelihood problems, regardless of cost or return.

Like the shantytowns that have emerged in the west of Rivne.

If this problem is not solved and allowed to grow, an increasingly large slum may form in the future.

Regardless of whether it's Latin America or Southeast Asia, the impact of a slum on a city is absolutely negative, dragging down urban development, hindering the introduction of capital, encouraging crime, etc., and, as far as people are concerned, slum dwellers who live in slums for long periods of time tend to lose all hope for the future.

Hope is gone, let alone effort, or change.

So, since Simon is quite optimistic about the future of the city of Livni, he must address this issue upfront.

It's a big picture, big vision.

Of course, there are not many people in the world with this kind of big-picture vision, and in many cases, they just don't have enough capital to solve these problems.

It has to be said that these people in the conference room at the State House at this time more or less understood some of Simon's more or less.

It's just that none of it was comprehensive after all.

This instead is indeed a decision made by Simon himself after understanding Rivne's current state, however, Simon is also absolutely not so good intentioned, in the final analysis, the launch of this proposal, Simon pursues the absolute control of the Westeros system on Rovno State. As for how to control it, it was a reference to the remembered Chinese real estate industry.

Control the land, control the property, control the banks, and in doing so, control absolute pricing power, and then everyone in the city will have most of their future income flow back into the hands of the Westeros system, either by purchasing property or paying rent. So, in order to make a living, everyone has to work tirelessly to keep Westeros alive in the various industries on this side of the world.
