Chapter 171 Plans and Arrangements
The territory of the Vatican is only a mere 0.44 square kilometers. Such a small country has huge influence in the world because of religion. And most of the country's diplomatic ambassadors are foreigners. For example, Archbishop Russell himself is an Australian. Therefore, it is not whimsical that Seryosha wanted to obtain the status of two diplomats through donations.
When Yuri and Ivankov came back that day, they were beyond description. Seryozha had already guessed this result. But listening to the two excitedly describing the scene when they were arrested, Sergey deeply felt that the 100 million dollars was well spent.
Seryozha still had a little time before returning home, just in time for Yuri and Ivankov to contact important figures from Mexico. During this period of time, Seryozha has allocated the huge cash flow in his hands. Seryozha still has more than 40 billion US dollars in his hands. Half of it will be handed over to Yota Communications as the research and development investment of the second generation mobile communication network, and Yota Communications' own profits will also be continuously invested in this project. Seriosha's strategy for Eva is to focus on the third-generation mobile communication technology while developing the second-generation mobile communication technology, so as to ensure that Yota Communication will always maintain a leading position in this field.
In addition, Seryozha also noticed the emergence of Internet protocol standards, which made him realize that the era of the Internet is coming. But now the domestic network in the United States only exists within the scope of individual universities. The nationwide Internet hadn't existed yet, and no one realized its enormous potential. Sergei Sha commissioned a consulting company to investigate, and the future network equipment giant Cisco has not yet appeared. It is not too late for yota communication to enter this field. Therefore, the next strategy of yota communication is to enter the network equipment market, which is still in its infancy. Xie Liaosha hopes that yota communication can win the main patent of routing technology as soon as possible.
And Karim's business in Europe also needs a lot of money. The bulk commodities that Seryozha is now involved in are mainly oil from the Soviet Union, cotton, and wheat from Canada. There are huge risks in spot trading, and it takes about a month for the ship to transport the goods back and forth at sea. Before the commodity is delivered to the buyer, as long as the prices of the three commodities in commodity exchanges with pricing power in London, New York, and Chicago are lower than the cost price of Seryozha, then the goods have to be sold at a low price Sale. It can be said that the trading activities of Romanov Trading Company bear huge risks. In order to reduce risks, Seryosha needs to conduct hedging transactions in the futures markets of corresponding categories in these three markets before the delivery of each transaction, that is, to make a reverse short transaction. In this way, if the market price is lower than Seryozha's cost, then the loss in the spot market can be made up for by the gain in the futures market. This is why the Romanov Trading Company needs experienced traders. It can be said that the capital occupied by each transaction of the Romanov Trading Company is actually twice the relationship. Therefore, if Kalim wants to maintain a transaction scale of around 10 billion, the funds needed are 20 billion. It is also for this reason that the other half of the funds in Seryosha's hand will be handed over to Karim for operation.
So it seems that Seryozha is still very short of money now, but although the wealth on the books is only 40 billion U.S. dollars, Seryozha still has some hidden assets in his hands. The money needs to be borrowed from Yuri's casino operation to become legal funds. The rest is the business in the Soviet Union. Now Sergey has a bank in his hand. As long as it does not involve foreign exchange transactions, the National Residential Bank is enough to support Sergey's current business.
The financial arrangement has already been planned, and the personnel arrangement has to be changed. Terkina has always been in charge of matters in Italy. It is too dangerous for a woman to deal with the mafia. Seryozha plans to hand over this matter to Yakov in the future, and it happens that Yakov is still shouldering the important task of contacting the Poles.
In the future, the important task of dealing with these foreign forces will be entrusted to Yakov, and Mikhail, who is transferred to Moscow, can take over Yakov's oil and Uzbek cotton business.
The Mutual Aid Society was of little use to Seryozha now, but it was a good tool for Seryozha to gain a good name. Seryozha intends to continue to arrange for Boris to manage the lair in Gorky City. After all, there is also his lover Lilia and the family power behind Lilia. Boris has a deep foundation in Gorky City and has helped a lot. Seryozha intends to hand over the customer relations in the Soviet Union, as well as Yakov's relations in Tyumen and Mikhail's relations in Uzbekistan to him.
Terkina and Tonya's connections in the airline company are also very important, but the foreign goods Sergesha who were smuggled into the Soviet Union by the stewardesses and pilots are now somewhat despised. After all, Seryozha's current business scale has initially taken shape, and he doesn't have too much energy to ask about this small business. But Terkina and Tonya can just take over, and these small commodities still have a good market in Tyumen and Gorky. The main purpose of continuing to maintain such a business is to strengthen their personal relationship in the civil aviation company. Sergesha hoped that the two could be promoted within the Soviet Civil Aviation, preferably in charge of some key departments. However, their age is flawed, and it seems unlikely at the moment, but Sergey has a long-term layout, and the civil aviation system is an important channel to communicate with foreign countries. At least for now, if there is any disturbance in the country, Sergey can They fled abroad through their relationship in the civil aviation system, and many of the domestic technical materials Xie Liaosha valued also needed to be taken abroad by the two of them, and then registered as patents in Europe and the United States. Seryozha hoped that among these patents, several buried treasures like the Altai system would appear.
Smoothing out the business matters made Xie Liaosha feel particularly good. Every day during the day, he was drunk in the casino, drunk with money, and at night, he went to enjoy the special services of his wives in the gentle village. This kind of life made Seryozha forget the existence of time, and he didn't want to go back to the Soviet Union. How he hoped that this kind of life would go on like this forever!
However, Yuri and Ivankov have a very different state of mind from Seryozha. As the arrival of the Mexicans is approaching day by day, the two must show the ability to convince each other to keep these big customers. down. This is a business with a weekly turnover of 400 million US dollars! (To be continued..)
