Chapter 1037

As they walked a little closer to the banquet hall, Jack Welch said, "well, Simon, I heard that you are planning to build a thermal power plant in Ukraine. The last order for nuclear power plant units was given to Westinghouse. Is there any reason not to cooperate with GM this time?"

Affected by the shortage of power resources in Rovno state, in addition to the No. 4 unit of Rovno nuclear power station still under construction, vistro system is planning to build a 2000 MW thermal power station in Ukraine recently.

Unlike the Rovno nuclear power plant, the total investment of a 950 MW Unit 4 can reach 1.5 billion US dollars, and the cost of thermal power plant is much lower. However, no matter how low the construction cost of a 2000 MW thermal power plant is, it is estimated that it will cost US $500 million. Such a project is enough for Jack Welch to fight for himself.

Simon saw Welch mention this matter, did not directly answer, but asked: "Jack, the GM team should have contacted rifney?"

Jack Welch nodded: "of course, but the reply over there is to adopt local equipment and solutions. Simon, frankly speaking, I admit the industrial strength of the former Soviet Union, but it is no longer better than before. Moreover, you must know that the general generator set is much better than that of the former Soviet Union in all aspects."

"But it's a lot more expensive," Simon said, shaking his head and laughing. "Jack, the last Rovno nuclear power plant, frankly speaking, was a state-owned enterprise in Ukraine, and for other reasons, Westinghouse equipment was used. This time, it's basically my personal investment. Of course, I have to consider the cost, so I'm sorry. "

Unit 4 of the Rovno nuclear power plant could have been completed with a subsequent investment of only US $500 million. However, under the operation of Westinghouse, Ukrainian nuclear power company and the Ukrainian Ministry of energy, the price was abruptly raised to 800 million US dollars, not to mention the insidious money in private, which was ultimately paid by the already stretched Ukrainian government.

Now that it's up to Simon to do it himself, he certainly won't be the big culprit.

Compared with nuclear power, the technical difficulty of thermal power is much lower. Only local enterprises in Ukraine can undertake it. If local schemes and equipment are adopted, the planned investment of US $500 million may still have a lot of savings. Simon's plan is to excavate and reorganize a related engineering technology. After all, this thermal power station is not necessarily the last one.

Jack Welch saw Simon refuse, did not give up, again strive for: "Simon, I give you a good discount."

Simon shook his head again and said with a smile, "Jack, maybe you can guess my layout on the Ukrainian side. This time, the thermal power plant is not the only one, but that side is very important to me. It's definitely not just business."

Simon said that. Welch, who is also very clear about certain things, did not continue. However, he could not help asking, "Simon, it seems that you are going to artificially create a special economic zone in Ukraine, eh, according to the concept of China, right?"

"That's right."

"Well, there must be other areas where we can cooperate."

"That's for sure, Jack. Speaking of it, if GM wants to build some factories in Eastern Europe, it's a good choice to go to Rovno."

Jack Welch didn't expect Simon to turn away so quickly and start his own business. He laughed, but nodded: "of course, if there is a suitable project, I will consider it."

When it comes to this, Simon thinks it's the end, and he's going to turn to other guests. Welch calls him back and says, "there's another thing, Simon, about Time Warner. The performance of Warner Brothers is really terrible."

Welch obviously refers to the fact that Warner didn't have a box office movie of more than 100 million in the past summer season. After all, this is the first summer season after GE's acquisition of Time Warner. Although the responsibility for this performance is not on the side of the parent company, it certainly makes Welch lose face.

Simon shrugged: "well, Jack, it's not my responsibility."

Welch just couldn't help complaining. Seeing Simon say so, he found out for a moment that he really had no reason to blame Simon. Could he blame Denise entertainment for being so powerful that Warner didn't have a way to live?

As a legendary professional manager, he has no such habit.

Moreover, if he is the head of other Hollywood film companies, he may not be able to help talking about cooperation with Simon at this time.

However, after secretly studying a series of foreign cooperation projects of danielis entertainment, Welch found that although other Hollywood film companies have made a lot of money in the cooperation with danielis entertainment, they have actually lost their independence to some extent, which is absolutely harmful to the long-term development of an enterprise.

The current situation of Hollywood is largely due to the fact that other studios in the past few years have indirectly promoted each other's growth through their cooperation with Denise entertainment.

The most typical is probably the DC movie universe project.

When Welch thinks of this, he is very upset. Although Warner is the main source of interest, the young man in front of him controls the initiative completely. Although the other side only has less interest, in fact, it is mainly the distribution Commission, but it is equivalent to using most of Warner's resources to make money for herself, while Denise entertains herself We can continue to develop our own projects.Jurassic Park series, evocation movie universe series, Pixar Animation Series, and so on.

Even, Warner now wants to turn his face around and dare not break up.

Because Denise entertainment also has the biggest chip, no less than DC's marvel. Once the two sides fall out, danilisi entertainment only needs to hold the copyright of the big three superheroes at the core of the DC movie universe, and neither side can continue to develop the DC series, but there can start Marvel movie universe.

All in all, it's really hard.

After a moment's change of expression, he remembered the phenomenal reality show "American Idol" which was also broadcast on ABC TV online week of danielis entertainment. For a moment, Welch had no temper and could only raise his glass to Simon.

Simon understood, probably able to understand Welch's mood, also raised his glass, did not say more, but took Maria and her daughter who had just been standing quietly to him.

The party lasted until one o'clock in the afternoon.

Simon left the hotel with two women and came to the parking lot. The bodyguard opened the door, and urijana got on the car first. Simon was just about to get on the bus when Maria hooked his coat: "can I take the car in the back?"

Simon got out of the way and said, "you can sit with Uriah. I'll sit in the back and talk to a about something."

Maria turned a little red and got into the car obediently.

A moment later, waiting for the car to start, Maria in the car finally spoke carefully and asked her neighbor urijana, "are you really pregnant?"

Ulyanna leaned lazily on the leather chair and said, "otherwise, would he come?"

Maria paused and whispered, "what are you going to do?"

"It's what he's going to do," urijana said, kicking off her shoes and curling up in her seat to make herself more comfortable. Looking at the scenery outside, she said, "we don't have much decision-making power, but I guess what he's thinking."

"Well?"

"He wants you to take the child."

Maria opened her eyes, subconsciously glanced at urianna's abdomen and said, "how can this be done?"

Urijana doesn't care: "what else? In fact, it is obvious that you are better at educating your children. Your children are excellent. Anita can be admitted to the National University of technology. Victor, the three of them, just came to the United States, can directly cross the language barrier and enter private schools. In contrast, Anna and Nick can only stay at home to study English for the time being. "

"Well In fact, Anna and Nick are very good. "

"My own child, I know what it's like," urijana did not accept Maria's advice. "So, it's good for you to bring this child. If you can, I'm willing to give it to you even Anna and Nick. I come to the United States, just want to enjoy life, and he doesn't matter."

"So..." Maria hesitated again before she said, "that's not good."

Urijana suddenly laughed, looked more amorous, glanced at Maria: "you don't want to persuade me to cheer up, do you?"

Maria quickly shook her head: "no, I won't interfere in other people's lives."

Ulyanna did not continue to say anything. She turned her head again and fell silent.

But there is some melancholy in my heart.

In fact, it's all due to this damned world. If the Soviet Union hadn't disintegrated, she should have been a princess all her life. She got some glorious titles with her smart mind, and then enjoyed her life leisurely.

I just didn't expect the collapse of a super empire.

Even two children, in fact, if she can keep her former life, she can spend a little effort to educate her very well. However, a few years ago, when their family even had problems eating, coupled with the huge gap between their personal identity and living standards, she was lucky that she didn't collapse. How could she manage so much.

As a result, the two children were in a mess in their academic performance. As for their character, a pair of children who happened to be sensible at that time experienced great changes together. Coupled with the ups and downs later, they were not only weak and timid in their bones, but also greedy and snobbish on the surface.

It's just two little things that she hates.

Therefore, after guessing a man's mind, urijana didn't resist at all. Compared with the fear when she first found out that she was pregnant and worried about being misunderstood and abandoned by a man, this is actually the best result.

What's more, even if it was given to Maria, anyway, it was her own child after all.

Who knows what will happen in the future?

Back in the rich West, the group arrived at a golf club arranged in advance.

Simon also talked about his plans with the two women in a coffee shop in the club. Urijana's guess is right. After reading the information about the two women and their children, Simon soon decided to let Maria be responsible for raising the child, and he didn't plan to let the two women live together as some other arrangements.

For the man's request, Maria has the heart to refuse, she does not want to do this kind of thing to take away other women's children, even if the other party is willing to.Unfortunately, the refusal is invalid.

After more than ten minutes of this conversation, Simon first asked someone to send urijana back to her residence, while Maria was left behind.

When urianna left, Simon got up and motioned to the woman, "let's go out for a walk. Besides, I asked someone to pick up victor and them."

Maria followed. In fact, after a little pause, she came over and subconsciously went further. "What are you going to do?"

"Call for a fight."

As soon as Maria felt nervous, she realized that the man was joking with her, and that she was obviously concerned. She quickly relaxed her mood, thought about it, and said again, "I don't think you should snatch ulia's child over to me."

Simon took the woman to the court, took a club from girl a, held it in his hand, looked up and down at Maria, and asked, "don't you want it?"

"No I mean, that child belongs to Uriah. It's not good. "

Simon showed a sudden expression and nodded: "Oh, I see. You want to have one yourself. It's OK. We'll start making people tonight."

Maria's face turned red all the way to her neck, staring at a little man: "you, I..." Then he could not help hanging his head, but he continued to follow him and said in a low voice: "I, probably, am not suitable for having a baby."

"I've seen your last physical examination. You're in good health. It's OK to have another one."

Maria looked up for him again. He even studied this, this.

"I You know, Annie 21 years old. "

"It happens that a sister and three brothers will have a lot of help for this child in the future. Well, two children to be exact," Simon said. He looked at the woman beside him again. "Otherwise, you think I'll call victor. What are they doing here? As the actual stepfather, of course, you have to have a serious talk with your child."

Stepfather

Maria almost wanted to hit someone. The fire on her face made her feel dizzy again.

However, some subconsciously, hearing men say that, Maria thinks that It seems that it is absolutely a good thing for our children.

This is Simon westero, after all.

When they said that, a group of people appeared on the edge of the court. Maria saw that two bodyguards came with their three sons, and they were in a panic.

Simon also saw the visitor. Seeing Maria's dizzy appearance, he came up to hold the woman's waist. He kissed the woman's forehead who felt that his head was completely down, and said, "let's go."

Then he took the woman's little hand and took the initiative to meet her.

Maria's three sons, the oldest Victor is 16 years old, Constantine is 15 years old and the youngest Anton is 12 years old. They are all very smart. They were all top students in the fierce competition of livney west school. At this time, when they saw their mother staying with Simon westrow, they were still holding hands. Even if the boys instinctively had some resistance in their hearts, they would treat Simon two When people come to them, they still say hello initiatively and politely.

At the same time, of course, we also understand what we have learned.

It is not easy for mother to bring them to America suddenly.

Simon and the three boys simply said hello, then turned to the friendly tone and said to Maria, "Mary, if we men want to have a good talk, you can go to the coffee shop over there and have a rest."

After that, he asked a girl for a club, gave it to three boys and took them to the court.
