Odessa, a shipyard adjacent to the Port of Odessa in the north of the city.

Even though a lot of work has been suspended for security reasons, standing near the huge door crane and looking around, you can still see many workers busy in the distance, and you can imagine the enthusiasm under normal working conditions.

After running with the man for a day, Li Fuzhen saw all such heavy industry projects, involving steel, shipbuilding, petrochemicals, machinery and so on.

Inevitably feel threatened.

Not to mention the whole of South Korea, just the Samsung Group, and many industries involved in it now have considerable overlap with this place. More importantly, South Korea will definitely not be able to compete with Ukraine if it costs money. Let’s talk about workers’ wages. Listening to the discussion between the man and the person in charge of the shipyard, the average monthly salary of the workers here is less than $50.

How to compare?

Of course, South Korea also has its own advantages, that is, a higher level of technology.

Ten years later, the Ukrainian shipbuilding industry, which was once able to build nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, said that the current shipyard is building only two 12,000-ton bulk carriers.

Compared with Korea, it is absolutely low-end.

In South Korea, for bulk carriers, most shipyards can easily launch 200,000-ton ships, and they are at the forefront of the world.

However, I still listened to the conversation between the man and the bystanders. The two bulk carriers are just for practice. The estimated construction period is 12 months. In the next step, as long as the order and funds are guaranteed, the 50,000-ton bulk carrier project can be launched.

Li Fuzhen didn't doubt this either.

Even if it has been abandoned for ten years, after all, it is a super industrial power that was once able to compete with the United States, and its background cannot be completely ruined so quickly.

Thinking about the series of projects I saw today, I glanced at the man in front of me.

What is this guy going to do?

Replace Korea?

In addition to the two girls who came to join in the fun, Simon was still surrounded by the core of the familiar Rovno gang, Andrei Smirnov, who was successfully transferred from Rovno to the governor of Odessa, and the head of Oldek Company People Sergey Komorov and more.

The current shipyard is called Odessa Shipyard. It was formed by the integration of the original shipyard of the same name and the newly recruited team. It is completely controlled by the capital of the Westeros system. It currently has 2,500 employees. Compared with the famous Black Sea The shipyard, even now, is still far inferior in scale. However, the 2,500 employees are the most outstanding group of industrial talents in this country.

Simon came to Ukraine at the beginning of the year, and then started recruiting. When the background of the Odessa shipyard came out, there was a limit of 2,500 people, and more than 70,000 applicants sent their resumes.

The reason is simple. Even the famous Black Sea Shipyard is now in a half-dead state, and most people can't even pay their wages.

In contrast, Ukraine, which is still at the lowest ebb after the 1997 financial turmoil, has the only bright spot in its domestic economy, which is the related industries of the Rovno Gang, which is backed by the Westeros system. The Odessa Shipyard happens to be one of them. People doubt the ability of the factory to pay.

Therefore, even if the average monthly salary offered by the Odessa Shipyard is less than 50 US dollars, it still attracts countless people.

Similarly, there are a series of heavy industry projects that the Westeros system quickly rolled out in Odessa.

Regarding the layout of Eastern Europe, Simon hesitated, and finally decided that the future will be discussed in the future, and the present will be discussed after doing it. Skip all kinds of trade-offs and go in the direction you think is right.

It is well known that the heavy industrial base of the former Soviet Union was sufficient to compete with the United States.

Just like the aerospace nuclear energy and other technologies that Simon had previously organized and organized, other heavy industries, in Simon's view, if they are allowed to completely decline as they once did, it will be a loss to the entire world.

Now that the Westeros system is not short of funds and has enough influence on Ukraine, things become very simple. To the maximum extent, as much as you can pick up, you can pick up as much as you can.

After all, only ten years have passed, and I can still pick up a lot of things.

After re-planning the layout of Ukraine, Simon plans to use Rivni in the northwest and Odessa in the southwest as fulcrums to gradually connect the entire West Ukraine west of the Dnieper River in Ukraine, and eventually form a country completely controlled by the Westeros system. Chinese economy. Among them, the northwest is dominated by light industry, and the southwest is dominated by heavy industry. With Ukraine's excellent geographical location, various industries have developed, and the market can radiate a large area such as Western Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.

As long as this area is firmly in hand, develops, and takes the initiative in Ukraine's economy, it will basically be equivalent to controlling the entire Ukraine in the future.

As for the vacant Dongwu, we will talk about it in the future.

Not only that, as long as Xiwu can rise, relying on the cost advantage that can be easily maintained in the next 20 to 30 years, it can also compete with Western Europe and snatch the resources and markets of other Eastern European countries that Simon did not want to leave to countries such as Britain, France and Germany, and even It is the market of Western European countries themselves.

In the end, it's still the same point, making Xiwu is another 'egg'.

When there are enough eggs, similar to what people often say later, the Japanese recreated a Japan overseas.

Since it is doomed to be impossible for the manufacturing industry to return to the United States, and hollowing out is inevitable, then, let’s recreate the United States overseas. Of course, to be precise, it is an 'America' under the absolute control of the Westeros system, borrowing a tiger skin, with only one owner inside.

Speaking of it, Simon actually doesn't mind the participation of other federal capitals. The problem is that production is anti-human, and plunder is the nature. hard work

How can one engage in finance to make money in business? Therefore, it is not easy to persuade other people to give up the easier plunder and work hard on production. Simon is too lazy to thank you.

After a day of running around, when I drove back to Linhai Manor on the northeast outskirts of Odessa, it was already dusk.

Flipping through a planning plan for a refining and chemical integration project planned to be built in Odessa, feeling that Li Fuzhen, who was sitting on the side, looked at him with strange eyes that lasted all day again, and Simon asked, "What's wrong?"

Miss Li hesitated for a while, but asked bluntly: "You are here, are these arrangements meant to replace us in Korea?"

Simon raised his head, glanced at the girl beside him, and curled the corner of his mouth: "So sharp?"

Miss Li stared at the man in front of her: "Are you really planning to do this?"

Simon reached out and pinched the delicate chin of the girl beside him: "It's not good to be persecuted and delusional all the time."

Substitution is indeed substitution, but South Korea...where does it follow?

Li Fuzhen shook his head, his hand fell, grabbed her neck again, shook it again, and at the same time stretched it without a trace, his neck is not short at all, bad guy, his mouth is not forgiving: "Then why is this Many projects here overlap with South Korea, don’t they?”

Simon didn't explain. He withdrew his hand and shook his head slightly: "Don't think about it. What South Korea has to do is to continue to upgrade its industry and maintain its high-end advantages. If it stops, it will definitely be replaced."

Miss Li is not a messy person. Simon said so, and she probably understood. Thinking about it carefully, indeed, although they overlap, the layout of men here is relatively far from that of South Korea, and it is impossible to catch up in a while.

Delphine was sitting on the other side of Simon, and when the two finished speaking, she said, "Simon, supporting Ukraine, you should be doing it for Africa, right?"

When Delfina said this, Li Fuzhen suddenly remembered that when he visited the refinery during the day, he heard the man and the factory director discussing the import of oil from Angola. Not only that, another part of the conversation also talked about investing in the construction of a batch of power plants in Africa. Even including the two bulk carriers under construction, it is planned to transport raw materials such as coffee and wood from Africa.

In this way, there are quite a lot of connections with Africa.

When Simon heard Delphine say this, he was noncommittal, and joked half-truthfully: "Yes, I plan to take all your French territories in Africa."

Delfina immediately rolled her eyes: "I don't care, you men just like to snatch around."

Li Fuzhen became interested: "Simon, if you want to develop Africa, South Korea can do it too."

Seeing the girl next to him talking subconsciously, Simon leaned over, bowed his head sideways, and kissed the woman's lips, feeling the coolness and softness. When Miss Li dodged subconsciously, Xiaoxiao took the initiative to lean forward, straightened up again, and said, "No Question, I will have someone send over some project materials later, and Samsung can participate in the bidding.”

Li Fuzhen was raided, and his head was a little dizzy. Seeing the man agreeing so readily, I was a little moved. Not knowing what to say, Delphine has already dismantled the stage: "Li, do you think Korean companies can compare with Ukrainian companies in terms of cost?"

Only then did Li Fuzhen come to his senses, recalling again that the shipyard's average monthly salary was less than $50, he angrily hugged the man's arm and shook it. Damn, if you don't want to, then you don't want to, and you're just perfunctory yourself.

Simon tilted his head and touched the head of the girl next to him, and said with a smile: "It's good to understand, what South Korea has to do is to pin the market to Europe and the United States. Compared with the West, you still have a cost advantage."

Miss Li didn't appreciate it: "You just want us to be your production base."

"Yeah," Simon didn't deny it at all: "And you should be lucky. Look at Eastern Europe. They want to be a production base, but they don't necessarily have a chance."

Delfina saw that although the two were bickering but obviously getting tired of it, she couldn't help finding a topic again, and interjected: "Simon, when I visited the shipyard, I heard them say that they hope you can win the Black Sea Shipyard, why don't you want to?"

The Black Sea Shipyard, the largest shipbuilding giant in the former Soviet Union, and the aircraft carrier base, even Delphine knows about it.

Li Fuzhen didn't know much about it, but since Delfina asked, she raised her head slightly and looked over curiously.

Simon did not explain to the director of the Odessa shipyard who made this suggestion at the time, but he had nothing to shy away from the two girls around him. He shook his head and said, "It's too big, and the entanglement of interests is too complicated."

Li Fuzhen was still puzzled: "You are so powerful in Ukraine, why are you afraid of complications?"

"The only thing I can absolutely control in Ukraine is Rivne Oblast, and even Odessa is still sorting out. The Black Sea Shipyard is located in Nikolayev Oblast, which is outside my influence." Simon explained, glancing at the left and right sides Female, continued: "You two will be involved in a very large family business in the future. I will teach you a truth. When investing abroad, don't think that you have money and you can get it unimpeded. If you can't grasp enough initiative, you will rush into a In the new region, you will be eaten until there is no scum left. The local forces don’t care how much influence your Samsung Group or LVMH has in the world, and they don’t care how much stimulation your presence will bring to the local economy. They only care about their own interests, if they don't get benefits, they would rather destroy it."

Delphine listened carefully to Simon's words, and nodded slightly if she realized something.

Li Fuzhen also agreed, but he was a little unconvinced: "Simon, you don't have much influence in Southeast Asia, why are you investing so much?"

Simon smiled: "In Southeast Asia, it's just a preliminary stage, and how do you know that I have no influence?"

plum

Fu Zhen opened his mouth, and suddenly thought of the "Dark Phoenix" who quietly ran from South Korea to Southeast Asia. The man even pushed the gangsters over. In other respects, one can imagine. Obviously, it's just that I don't know it.

The luxurious Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of the castle-like villa in Linhai Manor. Simon got out of the car with two girls, and the tall Eve Besonoskova greeted him at the door with a maid.

There are still guests to meet, so I send the two girls to take a bath by themselves, and there are entertainments in the evening.

Simon, led by Eve, went to another large bathroom overlooking the sea in the villa. Under the service of Eve and two maids, he took off his clothes and soaked in the bathtub, grabbed the tall girl who was about to leave, and asked One thing: "Does your father really not want to come to Odessa?"

To open up new territories, direct lineage is very important.

Simon has also been cultivating various direct descendants in Ukraine over the years, quietly observing the records, continuously improving the usable ones, and decisively eliminating the unusable ones.

Besonoskova's family, except for a certain goblin who escaped, everything else is the kind that satisfies Simon.

Eve sat sideways on the marble platform of the bathtub, reached out to gently rub the man's back, and said softly, "Dad is very satisfied with his current job, and it's all familiar things."

Eve's father used to be an engineer in a large Ukrainian arsenal. In recent years, he has been in charge of logistical affairs at the military theme park in Rivny. Alexander Nagiyev, the person in charge of the theme park, said that Yifu contributed a lot to the park's outstanding performance in recent years.

That being the case, Simon is of course willing to put the other party in a more important position.

Unexpectedly, things were unexpected.

This is the same kind of person as Yekaterina Noskova's father who made the Rivny Fertilizer Plant bigger and bigger but was rigid and strict, the kind left over from the former Soviet era.

After thinking for a while, Simon asked, "Where's your brother?"

"My brother wants to come over, but my father won't let me. I'm worried that he will mess things up," Eve said, paused, and then whispered: "My father hopes that my brother can take his place in a few years, yes... for the share Dad has always been very satisfied with the work in charge and the salary, he is a conservative person."

The military theme park has been in turmoil for the past few years, and the salary of the staff will naturally not be treated badly, not to mention the relationship with Eve in it.

That being the case, Simon didn't force it, and said, "Take time to ask your brother to manage it with Alexander University, so that he can fully take over the work of the theme park in the future."

Eve showed grateful eyes, chatted a few more words, saw that the man had no other orders, and then said: "Ms. Tymoshenko has been waiting for a long time, should I let her come?"

Simon nodded: "Yes."

...

ps1: Recently, there has been a lot of excitement and disturbances, ghosts and snakes, and a miasma of smoke. Just think, if you don't have the ability to jump ship at any time like the 96 richest people in Ukraine, you shouldn't have to struggle with your position. Of course, except for eight-year-old children, children can talk about right and wrong.

ps2: I made a book list before, and I plan to read and write a new book. As a result, from the New Year to the present... It is not a solution to always not code words. Continue to write this book, after all, I still want to have a good ending.
