After finishing the call with Celia Miller, Simon put aside the information on the two projects of the Rivne Nuclear Power Plant and the Nokia Factory, and reviewed the other two documents that were also discussed with Celia.

The first one comes from the city of Rivne.

During Simon's last trip to Ukraine, he occasionally chatted with several senior government officials in the Rivne region about the achievements of China's reform and opening up, and casually mentioned the idea of ​​establishing the city of Rivni similar to some special economic zones in China. It was a small chat during the reception, but I didn't expect it to be remembered by that side, and I quickly tried to put it into action.

The document in hand is the special economic zone plan that the Rivni city government plans to submit to the Kiev authorities during this period of time.

Not only that, some high-level officials of the Rivne state government also planned to go to China for field inspections. When the documents arrived in Simon's hands, the inspection team had already set off.

Simon never had the idea of ​​helping Ukraine develop its economy toward prosperity.

However, if this plan is successful, it will be more beneficial to the layout of the Westeros system in Rivne Region.

Because special economic zones often mean a more open financial investment environment, foreign capital such as the Westeros system is easy to enter and easy to withdraw. It can be said to come and go freely, and it inevitably means strong import and export tariffs. Exemptions and other favorable stimulus policies for foreign businessmen.

On the other hand, although Ukraine’s developed industrial zone is located in the southeast of the country, and the northwest is a backward traditional agricultural zone, Rivne Oblast actually has its own advantages. The northwestern state is only separated from Poland. A Warren State is geographically a state close to Western Europe, and it has a complete highway and rail transportation network connecting Western Europe, which basically meets the conditions of a'trade port'.

The idea is good, but it is not easy to realize it.

Ukraine as a whole is now in a state of decay waiting for the rice to come. Once such a concept of a'special economic zone' that will inevitably increase the attractiveness of foreign investment is proposed, all parts of Ukraine will inevitably raise objections and even fight each other.

Compared with the capital, Kiev, compared with Petrovsk, the base behind the Petrovsk Gang, the strongest Ukrainian authority, compared with Odessa, the port city on the southern Black Sea, and compared with the eastern industrial town of Donetsk, Regardless of how you look at it, Rivni, who is still a waste of life, does not qualify as a special economic zone.

Therefore, Simon's reply to Celia was to delay the Rivne state government for at least one year before submitting this plan to the authorities.

Otherwise, even if the Kiev authorities adopt this plan, even if more than one special economic zone has been finalized, it is unlikely that Rivni will end up in the end. Of course, the Rivne region government is now beginning to take various preparatory measures, such as going to China for inspections, etc., it is also possible.

Rome was not built in a day, and it’s not wrong to prepare in advance.

Another document is the loan application of Ekaterina’s father Maxim Noskov.

Simon directly rejected the application when he was in Ukraine, and then also rejected Maxim's interview request. Unexpectedly, the other party still did not give up, but also approached Celia.

According to Celia's description, Maxim is obviously not a person who is good at persuading others. When interviewing her, the other party only introduced Celia in detail about the purpose of each payment, and counted a full one. For half an hour, Celia couldn't help but agree to it somehow.

In fact, this amount of money is not much. It involves a total of more than 100 individual farms and collective farms, and the cumulative amount is only about 25 million US dollars.

Celia learned that Simon had rejected the loan application, and privately used her contacts to help Maxim solve the matter.

The funding comes from the Netherlands.

The Netherlands, a developed country in Western Europe with a land area of ​​only 40,000 square kilometers, has a population of more than 14 million. The population density is far higher than that of neighboring countries. The compact land area obviously cannot support the food production of 14 million people. Therefore, the Netherlands is also the largest food in Western Europe. One of the importing countries.

During the period of the former Soviet Union, the Netherlands was one of the important grain export target countries in Ukraine, ranking among the top three grain exporting countries in Ukraine all year round, bringing foreign exchange worth hundreds of millions of dollars to the former Soviet Union every year.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Ukraine’s agricultural production collapsed. As a “European granary”, the ridiculous degree of the need to import food to meet the food and clothing needs of the people appeared. The Dutch food imports from Ukraine were also interrupted. Latin America imports food.

As the political situation in Ukraine gradually stabilizes, the Netherlands naturally wants to reopen this cheap source of food imports.

As one of the most profitable industries in Ukraine, the Westeros system in the country's layout will not let go of the business of grain export. The Aldek company under the charge of Sergey Komorov was established last year. Established a subsidiary focused on grain export, and has successfully started business.

Using the contacts of this grain export company under Aldek, Celia quickly obtained a loan of 50 million guilders, equivalent to 29.5 million U.S. dollars, from a Dutch bank interested in supporting Ukrainian grain production, which was applied by Maxim Even more loans.

Because it is a supportive agricultural loan with a three-year term, the annual interest is only 4.5%, and it can be repaid directly with grain in the next three years.

After using the resources of the Westeros system, Celia still talks to Simon first, although the matter is basically finalized, and said that if he insists, this cooperation can still be cancelled.

Of course Simon would not do this.

Moreover, Simon may also be able to understand Celia's thoughts, and for a sincere request for a middle-aged person who just wants to do something for the troubled people around him, what's more, he still does whatever he can, a slightly emotional person. It's hard to refuse.

Now it's the Dutch side that pays again, and Simon has no reason to intervene.

Simon does not need to worry about whether this money can be implemented. Since the Dutch side is willing to pay, it will definitely carry out relevant supervision, so he just agreed directly.

The voice of Girl A came from the desk phone to remind Francis Levison that he had arrived. Simon took back these thoughts and asked Alison to bring him in.

Some details of the Westeros system’s participation in the Levison Group are still being negotiated, but this matter has basically been determined, unless Simon repents, otherwise nothing will happen. Simon and Francis Levison, the head of the Levison Group, agreed to discuss some ideas for the future development of this company today. Levison just flew over from Florida this morning.

In the plan, after receiving the 1.5 billion U.S. dollars of Westeros, the tight capital chain of the Levison Group will be completely eased. After repaying part of the urgent due debt, the remaining funds will be used for corporate operations. , Mainly the development of the Levison Group's reserve land in Miami.

The real estate industry in the United States has begun to recover.

Now start the development of new projects. Starting next year, the market will pick up. It happens to be one step ahead of other real estate developers to gain more market share, and through this opportunity, a virtuous circle will be formed in the US real estate boom that will continue for more than ten years in the future.

Because the real estate industry in the United States itself is already very mature, coupled with the real estate industry policy restrictions, it is difficult for this country to have too large a real estate giant. Therefore, Simon's plan is to let the Levison Group expand overseas.

Such as China, such as Eastern Europe.

Of course, Simon is also aware of the various barriers to protect the real estate industry.

However, the rapidly expanding Westeros system has broken through these hidden industry restrictions through intertwined interests.

Just like China, even if the Levison Group can’t do it in person, it’s also feasible to enter the Chinese market through a joint venture. The Levison Group’s experienced real estate development and operation team can help joint ventures established overseas to avoid many detours. Many real estate giants, such as the CBD model, are actually imitating overseas real estate companies.

The two chatted for an hour and a half before Francis Levison left.

The other party has to fly directly back to Florida.

Simon continued to deal with some affairs, until after six o'clock, Janet personally called and urged, and then went home from get off work. Even on the way back to Dome’s Manor, Simon was still reading a draft of the “Communication Weathering Act” that had just arrived from Washington.

Just the word ‘weathering’ can probably understand the content of this bill.

The main reason is that the federal government has legislated and regulated the adult-related content that has been proliferated on the Internet at this stage.

Probably not many people, men and women, have never been exposed to adult content on the Internet. However, probably not many people have considered how much interest this field involves.

Simon knew it.

According to the information in memory, only the online part of the adult industry accounts for up to 20% of the entire Internet traffic, and the income brought by related industries reaches hundreds of billions of dollars each year, no less than Google or Amazon. The revenue volume of technology giants.

Although the reputation of getting involved in it would be very bad, it is definitely a piece of fat that people are eager for. Thinking about it occasionally, Simon had to admit that he wanted to cut a piece of cake out of it.

Of course, with Simon's current status, if you don't want to drown in saliva, you can only think about it.

Many other people have no such scruples.

Therefore, in recent years, many related websites have appeared on the Internet, and some video websites have even appeared in advance.

It should be understood that due to factors such as traffic cost, apart from the launch of a small amount of video or live content on the Eaglet portal, professional and regular content video websites have not appeared, including companies that have obtained relevant patent authorizations from Eaglet. Can only temporarily shelve related projects.

The adult industry has gotten something out first.

Even if it's just a very rough and low-resolution video, it's definitely an advanced behavior.

In Simon's view, this is almost the same as the advancement of science and technology through war.

Although it will definitely not be involved, the Westeros system is still very active and quietly promoting relevant legislation. This is because an irrefutable fact is that related industries have indeed greatly promoted the development of the Internet. Many Internet users choose to access the Internet because they seek to find some free content.

Moreover, the legislative norms of related industries can also avoid the risk of litigation for companies such as Igreat and AOL, which are gateways to the Internet.

Such as search engine business.

Simon will not be involved in related industries, but as an online search tool that gathers and organizes Internet content, search engines will inevitably touch certain areas.

If there is a lack of formal legislation, this aspect is in a gray area. Once the search engine provides relevant links, some people will inevitably make a fuss and initiate lawsuits against related companies for harming young people. Once similar lawsuits appear, they are often Class action.

In fact, Igrett had already encountered this kind of thing last year.

Fortunately, the Google search engine has always been the edge business of Igreat for outsiders. Although the usage has been rising rapidly, the attention has been low under the operation of the Westeros system, and related lawsuits have been properly handled. Later, it did not evolve into a large-scale class action lawsuit.

Therefore, at this stage, the Google search engine owned by Igreat has temporarily blocked or concealed relevant websites, and users often have to flip through several pages to find a piece of claws.

As long as the "Communication Weathering Act" is passed and it is determined that there is a law to follow, Google will no longer need to conceal this.

As long as you follow the rules, you won't worry about someone deliberately finding fault.

In fact, Simon has always believed that, whether it is video games or certain content on the Internet, for teenagers, the subject of supervision should be the parent.

This is the responsibility of parents, not the responsibility of content providers.

Parents with a little sense of responsibility, as long as they pay a little attention to restricting their children on weekdays, there will be no incidents of all kinds.

In the memory of previous lives, whenever he saw those minors recharge tens of thousands in order to play games, after the incident, the parents asked the game company to return reports that blatantly accused the minors of indulging in games. Simon couldn’t help feeling that it was absurd, and he did not. I think the problem lies in the game, and the root cause lies in the abominable parents who yell.

How indulgent and indulgent do these people have to allow some seven- to eight-year-olds and eleven-two-year-olds to have the opportunity to recharge the game?

Entertainment is the normal demand of everyone in modern society.

Whether it is movies, television or music games, it is a very legitimate existence. The more developed the country, the more prosperous the related industries. Why don’t others scream that these things poison young people all day and should ban Yunyun?

Because the parents who were supposed to be responsible for supervision and education seriously neglected their duties, and after the accident, the responsibility was transferred to the game, which is as absurd as the murder case and the murder.

It's the father's fault to raise it or not.

Our ancestors have explained this simple truth thousands of years ago.

Therefore, regardless of whether it is Daenerys or Igreat, as long as it is content production within the scope of the rules, Simon has never had much scruples in the fields of film, television, games, social, music, etc. involved.

Various national-level laws and regulations have been quite complete, and there will be no shortage of reminders. If there are young people who are "poisoned", then "poisoning" is that the parents who are in charge do not care, and Simon will not worry about this. , He never felt that he should bear any responsibility.
