When the New Year bell rings, 1995 officially comes.
In the northern suburb of Greenwich.
Everyone cheers, kisses, sings and dances, and enjoys the fireworks show. The carnival lasts until one o'clock in the morning. The new year's party finally comes to an end, and the guests and hosts enjoy themselves.
Only the senior executives and shareholders of Levison group, who were suddenly given an ultimatum by some drunken young tycoon, were tossed back to their homes on the upper east side of Manhattan on this new year's Eve. Francis Levison had to call the core of the group, most of whom were on vacation all over the world, to hold an emergency conference call, so many people stayed up all night.
If you can, Francis Levinson would like to have no contact with Simon westero tonight.
The Levison family founded the Levison group. Four generations of the family have controlled the company for a century. At some moment in his heart, Francis Levison would rather the family business go bankrupt than give up.
Of course, it's just thinking.
Francis Levinson, who grew up accustomed to luxury life, can't imagine what he will be like after the bankruptcy of the family business. Although he can certainly keep some of the family wealth that ordinary people can't earn in their lifetime, his daily Private airplanes, holiday islands, luxury yachts and so on will never happen.
It's hard to accept when you think about it.
The emergency conference call lasted all night, and there was a big difference between the senior management and shareholders of Levison group.
Some people claim to accept Simon's shares. After all, the conditions offered by the super tycoon are not harsh. They are better than those who wait for Levison group to go bankrupt like vultures. The US $1.5 billion fund can not only completely relieve Levison group's financial pressure, but also pay off part of the impending debts.
There is also a lot of opposition.
Uncle Francis Levinson, who holds the Levinson family trust fund and serves as the vice chairman of the group's board of directors, strongly opposes Simon's offer, believing that it is taking advantage of the fire. In the final analysis, it is still that the Levinson family does not want to lose control of the business.
Although he does not participate in business management, Brodie Levison has a close relationship with many other shareholders of the group, and has also placed many senior executives promoted by him in the company.
After a dispute, many people were on the side of Brody.
Of course, opponents don't want Levinson group to go bankrupt, so they propose to take advantage of the news that Simon westero intends to take a stake to attract other investments. Since Simon westero is optimistic about this enterprise, it must be easy to raise funds. Westero only gives them one night to think about it, not to prevent them from doing so.
Until dawn, there was no result.
It was finally decided to vote.
Francis Levison didn't want to make a statement, but at the request of his strong uncle, he still voted against it.
The final result is to reject the westrow system.
Simon gave Francis Levison a time limit of nine the next morning.
On the first day of the new year, shortly after he got up, without waiting for Levison to give a reply, he received a call from James Leibold and got the news ahead of time. It turned out that a senior executive who was in favor of Simon's shareholding disclosed the news to a creditor of Levison group after the overnight conference call, and the creditor contacted James roundly.
Simon is not surprised by Levison's decision to use the name of the westrow system to finance in other ways.
Of course, we will never let it go.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to do business in the future.
When Celia Miller arrived at the northern suburb manor at 9 a.m., Simon had made more than ten calls in succession. He had done a lot of work ahead of time. The counter measure was also very simple. It was close to Levison group's weakness - huge debts.
Most of Levison's debt is raised through wall street.
Because the company has been hovering on the edge of the cliff for several years, many creditors have been worried about the safety of their own funds.
Levison group's corporate assets seem to reach $7 billion, enough to offset $5.3 billion in liabilities, but this is only the ideal state of the normal operation of the company. Once Levison group's capital chain breaks and goes bankrupt, the liquidation process will inevitably mean a sharp decline in assets.
At that time, not to mention $7 billion, half of it may not be recovered.
If we accept the investment of westero system, we can say nothing else, just the name of Simon westero, which is enough to make Levison group's crumbling junk bonds jump to the most secure level of 3A.
Unexpectedly, without communicating with creditors at all, Levison group gave up the opportunity to cooperate with Simon westero so rashly, putting everyone's investment in danger again.
How can this be tolerated!
It doesn't need Simon to add fuel to the flames too obviously. Before the senior management of Levinson group has time to use the name of westero system to contact other investors, many angry creditors have come to Francis Levinson's door and asked him to give an account. Some creditors even directly asked for immediate repayment.Celia Miller was entertained by Janet for a few cups of coffee. It wasn't until ten o'clock that girl a came to remind Simon that she was finished.
Come to the study, Simon has posture leisurely sit on the sofa in the reception area.
With a simple greeting, he motioned Celia to sit down opposite him. Simon handed over a piece of information he had just read: "look at this first."
Celia takes it. Open it.
Eyes soon narrowed.
The information in hand should be regarded as a memorandum, a very special memorandum, recording the deeds of a series of members of Yuri miloslav's family, governor of the state of Rovno in Ukraine. From September last year to the end of the year, it listed as many as three pages.
Yuri miloslav has three sons and two daughters, the eldest son Malcolm, the second son Oliver, the third son Gary, the eldest daughter Sabina, the youngest daughter Kitty, and a very active nephew Igor in the memo.
As for the contents of the memorandum, it can be summed up in four words: eat, take and pay.
Garry, miloslav's third son studying in London, demanded 100000 pounds for a sports car on his 18th birthday.
Oliver miloslav started a building materials company and asked to contract part of ufms's material supply. The price was 60% higher than the normal price, and the order value was 1.2 million US dollars.
The shell company under Igor's name directly asked to take 10% of aldec's acquisition of a natural gas company in Rovno, worth $700000.
Sabina and his wife want to move to Kiev and ask aldec to sponsor 300000 dollars to buy a house.
Wait, wait, wait.
At the end of the document, Celia finds out that Yuri miloslav's second son is still asking her shell company, which has just registered for less than a month, to take all the orders for catering, clothing and training supplies of ufms base, which makes Celia sweat.
It's really I want to die!
Celia, who has personally participated in a lot of Ukrainian affairs, knows very well that the reason why miloslav was able to maintain his position as governor after Kuchma came to power is largely the result of the operation of the vistro system. Now, the family regards the state of Rovno as their private land, and the westero system as a fat sheep.
After reading the information, Celia looked up, but did not speak.
Guess what your boss wants to do, but it's not that simple.
Unlike the United States, Ukraine's governor appointment is not through election, but directly in the hands of the president. At the beginning of the operation, Yuri miloslav continued to serve as governor of Rovno state after the new president Leon kuci came to Taiwan. But if you want to take away the other party, it is likely to cause some unpredictable consequences.
No country's top officials would like to be interfered in its internal affairs.
Simon could also see Celia's mind and the sensitivity of her decision, but he didn't hesitate.
The vistro system has invested enough in Ukraine in the past half year, and many people in Ukraine have benefited from it. If you just put in, just give, but no demand, no firm attitude, it is really the same as fat sheep.
This is Simon's attitude.
Never give in when it's time to be strong.
Simon attaches great importance to the layout of the westero system in Ukraine, but even if all previous investment in Ukraine has been wasted, it has no impact on the westero system.
If you really can't do something, just quit.
It's only going to cost more if you're dragging your feet.
With this in mind, Simon said to Celia: "I am a very generous person. According to the previous arrangement of the vistro system, if Yuri miloslav focuses on what he should do, the miloslav family will become the most powerful political and business tycoon in Ukraine within ten years. Unfortunately, they are too short-sighted. If we want to take root in the state of Rovno, we have to remove this stumbling block. "
Celia nodded slightly and said, "but, Simon, this may cause Kuchma's rebound. After all, this is the governor of a state."
Simon said, "that's your mission, Celia. I want you to leave for Ukraine tomorrow to persuade Leon Kuchma to replace Yuri miloslav and give us the state of Rovno."
Celia suddenly felt a little heavy: "Simon, it's not easy. I can't promise you anything. And what about our chips? "
Simon looked at the woman opposite and said with a smile, "I believe in your ability, Celie. As for chips, I'm not a big loser. The westero system has given me enough. Of course, you can draw some big pie for Kuchma. The vistro system has enough strength to help Ukrainian economy recover. As long as the local public's living standards are improved, it will be easy for him to be president for ten or twenty years. We will unswervingly support him, including lobbying the federal government. By the way, there is also the European Union. Ukraine's economy can only rely on us if it wants to enter the European Union. The premise of all this is that we must have a clean business environment. "Celia has just been thinking about how to communicate with Leon Kuchma, and Simon's ideas coincide with hers.
The vestro system has invested enough in Ukraine, especially in the arms trading network directly connected with the Kuchma family. Even if it is only to safeguard this interest, Kiev authorities are very likely to give in. What's more, the westero system is definitely not just a simple commercial plutocrat. Leon Kuchma will also be cautious about its influence on the Washington authorities.
Celia nodded and asked, "Simon, do you really want to help Ukraine join the EU? It's not in our interests. "
Once Ukraine joins the European Union, the Kiev authorities will probably not allow private mercenary organizations such as ufms to continue to exist under the pressure of European allies. This is exactly the most crucial layout of the vestro system in Ukraine.
Simon heard this question and shook his head: "of course not, and Kuchma will not be allowed to be in power for more than 10 years. Only chaotic Ukraine is more suitable for our layout in this country."
Celia was stunned.
I've been in Washington for many years, and I'm used to all kinds of trickery. At this time, I feel that I'm still not as "straightforward" as my boss.
After thinking about it, Celia asked again, "Simon, what should we do with miloslav after taking him, and do you have a candidate for the new governor?"
Simon nodded and said, "I don't want the miloslav family to cause us any trouble after they lose power, so this family will win. That's why I want you to go to Ukraine tomorrow. Now just after the new year, their family is in Livni, and they don't need to leave this time. The new governor is Andre Smirnov, a politician with a very shallow foundation, who has cooperated with us enough in recent months. "
Andre Smirnov is the mayor of livny. Celia has seen her several times before. It's really suitable for her. If everything goes well this time, as long as Andre Smirnov's brain is not broken, he will only be more on the side of the westero system when he comes to power.
Celia agreed, thinking more about the end of the miloslav family.
Take all of them. It's a little too hard.
However, considering the information I have just read, this family is not a fuel-efficient one. If we can't get rid of the grass roots, it's hard to say what will happen in the future.
Simon made such a decision because of a woman.
Tymoshenko.
In my memory, because of the conflict with Leon Kuchma in the late 1990s, Tymoshenko was once pushed to the end, but Kuchma didn't go any further, and as a result, this woman made a comeback. Ukraine's continuous turbulence after the new century is to a large extent the root of the disaster planted by this beautiful prime minister.
If you cut the grass but don't get rid of the roots, the spring wind will blow again.
A lesson from the past.
Therefore, Simon will not just let Yuri miloslav step down. This politician, who happens to be 60 years old, will spend the rest of his life in prison.
The two talked about some details. Simon also revealed to Celia that this time, not only the miloslav family will have a bad overall cleaning plan. Tomorrow, Ken Dixon, Simon's confidant, will fly to Ukraine with Celia. They will finish this, and Simon will go to Ukraine in person at the right time.
After talking about things, it's almost noon.
Celia leaves and begins to prepare for tomorrow's trip to Ukraine. Simon's attention in the afternoon turns to the summary of the "information age" marketing plan that has just lasted for two months.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Garry, miloslav's third son studying in London, demanded 100000 pounds for a sports car on his 18th birthday. Oliver miloslav started a building materials company and asked to contract part of ufms's material supply. The price was 60% higher than the normal price, and the order value was 1.2 million US dollars. The shell company under Igor's name directly asked to take 10% of aldec's acquisition of a natural gas company in Rovno, worth $700000. Sabina and his wife want to move to Kiev and ask aldec to sponsor 300000 dollars to buy a house. Wait, wait, wait. At the end of the document, Celia finds out that Yuri miloslav's second son is still asking her shell company, which has just registered for less than a month, to take all the orders for catering, clothing and training supplies of ufms base, which makes Celia sweat. It's really I want to die! Celia, who has personally participated in a lot of Ukrainian affairs, knows very well that the reason why miloslav was able to maintain his position as governor after Kuchma came to power is largely the result of the operation of the vistro system. Now, the family regards the state of Rovno as their private land, and the westero system as a fat sheep. After reading the information, Celia looked up, but did not speak. Guess what your boss wants to do, but it's not that simple. Unlike the United States, Ukraine's governor appointment is not through election, but directly in the hands of the president. At the beginning of the operation, Yuri miloslav continued to serve as governor of Rovno state after the new president Leon kuci came to Taiwan. But if you want to take away the other party, it is likely to cause some unpredictable consequences. No country's top officials would like to be interfered in its internal affairs. Simon could also see Celia's mind and the sensitivity of her decision, but he didn't hesitate. The vistro system has invested enough in Ukraine in the past half year, and many people in Ukraine have benefited from it. If you just put in, just give, but no demand, no firm attitude, it is really the same as fat sheep. This is Simon's attitude. Never give in when it's time to be strong. Simon attaches great importance to the layout of the westero system in Ukraine, but even if all previous investment in Ukraine has been wasted, it has no impact on the westero system. If you really can't do something, just quit. It's only going to cost more if you're dragging your feet. With this in mind, Simon said to Celia: "I am a very generous person. According to the previous arrangement of the vistro system, if Yuri miloslav focuses on what he should do, the miloslav family will become the most powerful political and business tycoon in Ukraine within ten years. Unfortunately, they are too short-sighted. If we want to take root in the state of Rovno, we have to remove this stumbling block. " Celia nodded slightly and said, "but, Simon, this may cause Kuchma's rebound. After all, this is the governor of a state." Simon said, "that's your mission, Celia. I want you to leave for Ukraine tomorrow to persuade Leon Kuchma to replace Yuri miloslav and give us the state of Rovno." Celia suddenly felt a little heavy: "Simon, it's not easy. I can't promise you anything. And what about our chips? " Simon looked at the woman opposite and said with a smile, "I believe in your ability, Celie. As for chips, I'm not a big loser. The westero system has given me enough. Of course, you can draw some big pie for Kuchma. The vistro system has enough strength to help Ukrainian economy recover. As long as the local public's living standards are improved, it will be easy for him to be president for ten or twenty years. We will unswervingly support him, including lobbying the federal government. By the way, there is also the European Union. Ukraine's economy can only rely on us if it wants to enter the European Union. The premise of all this is that we must have a clean business environment. "Celia has just been thinking about how to communicate with Leon Kuchma, and Simon's ideas coincide with hers. The vestro system has invested enough in Ukraine, especially in the arms trading network directly connected with the Kuchma family. Even if it is only to safeguard this interest, Kiev authorities are very likely to give in. What's more, the westero system is definitely not just a simple commercial plutocrat. Leon Kuchma will also be cautious about its influence on the Washington authorities. Celia nodded and asked, "Simon, do you really want to help Ukraine join the EU? It's not in our interests. " Once Ukraine joins the European Union, the Kiev authorities will probably not allow private mercenary organizations such as ufms to continue to exist under the pressure of European allies. This is exactly the most crucial layout of the vestro system in Ukraine. Simon heard this question and shook his head: "of course not, and Kuchma will not be allowed to be in power for more than 10 years. Only chaotic Ukraine is more suitable for our layout in this country." Celia was stunned. I've been in Washington for many years, and I'm used to all kinds of trickery. At this time, I feel that I'm still not as "straightforward" as my boss. After thinking about it, Celia asked again, "Simon, what should we do with miloslav after taking him, and do you have a candidate for the new governor?" Simon nodded and said, "I don't want the miloslav family to cause us any trouble after they lose power, so this family will win. That's why I want you to go to Ukraine tomorrow. Now just after the new year, their family is in Livni, and they don't need to leave this time. The new governor is Andre Smirnov, a politician with a very shallow foundation, who has cooperated with us enough in recent months. " Andre Smirnov is the mayor of livny. Celia has seen her several times before. It's really suitable for her. If everything goes well this time, as long as Andre Smirnov's brain is not broken, he will only be more on the side of the westero system when he comes to power. Celia agreed, thinking more about the end of the miloslav family. Take all of them. It's a little too hard. However, considering the information I have just read, this family is not a fuel-efficient one. If we can't get rid of the grass roots, it's hard to say what will happen in the future. Simon made such a decision because of a woman. Tymoshenko. In my memory, because of the conflict with Leon Kuchma in the late 1990s, Tymoshenko was once pushed to the end, but Kuchma didn't go any further, and as a result, this woman made a comeback. Ukraine's continuous turbulence after the new century is to a large extent the root of the disaster planted by this beautiful prime minister. If you cut the grass but don't get rid of the roots, the spring wind will blow again. A lesson from the past. Therefore, Simon will not just let Yuri miloslav step down. This politician, who happens to be 60 years old, will spend the rest of his life in prison. The two talked about some details. Simon also revealed to Celia that this time, not only the miloslav family will have a bad overall cleaning plan. Tomorrow, Ken Dixon, Simon's confidant, will fly to Ukraine with Celia. They will finish this, and Simon will go to Ukraine in person at the right time. After talking about things, it's almost noon. Celia leaves and begins to prepare for tomorrow's trip to Ukraine. Simon's attention in the afternoon turns to the summary of the "information age" marketing plan that has just lasted for two months.
