Chapter 14 The Japanese Project
At London Heathrow Airport, a passenger plane from Moscow slowly landed on the runway of the airport. After a group of Soviet officials in suits got off the plane, they left through the VIP channel of the airport and got into the car of the Soviet embassy.
In a black Seagull car in the convoy, Yakovlev, who had just arrived in London with his team, was in the car learning the latest situation from Sergey, who had been here for more than a month.
"Great job Seryosha, Secretary Gorbachev spoke highly of your actions this time! He even publicly praised you at the Politburo meeting!" Yakovlev said.
"Does Secretary Gorbachev give me any instructions for the next step?" Seryozha lowered his posture and asked. Although he made a great contribution this time, he didn't think that his position in the heart of Secretary Gorbachev would Suddenly surpassed Yakovlev, who was a member of the Central Committee. I am still a junior in front of him. At present, the interests of the two people are the same, that is, to help Gorbachev gradually increase his prestige in the party. Only after Gorbachev really became the general secretary was the time when the two reaped victory.
"I'm afraid you have to stay here to assist us in our work! Secretary Gorbachev instructed you to be in charge of business negotiations on natural gas, coal, and other trade aspects. I am in charge of the two parties with the British Foreign Office and the Soviet-British Liaison Group. It is not that simple for a leader to make a visit. It doesn’t mean that you can come just by calling you. We have a lot of work to do! Hey, sometimes the biggest difficulty does not come from the The outside, but our inside!" Yakovlev said.
"Is there something wrong?" Seryozha heard something in Yakovlev's words, and hurriedly asked.
"There are different opinions on the invitation within the Politburo. After all, it is not an invitation to General Secretary Chernenko. Guess who is the most opposed to Secretary Gorbachev's visit this time? It is Foreign Minister Gero Miko, who doesn’t know his little thoughts, he wants to be the successor of the general secretary, so naturally he suppressed Secretary Gorbachev vigorously! Some things are hard to say in China, but now I’m abroad, I will There are not so many constraints. Sergey Sha, you must know that Secretary Gorbachev completely failed in the last competition for general secretary. According to the usual practice, he will be elected in two years, that is, the party's second secretary. Quit the Politburo, the core of power. Unless we can make Secretary Gorbachev's prestige in the party surpass all the current Politburo members, it is possible to change this practice!" Yakovlev said earnestly for Serious explained.
"I will work hard to live up to the training and trust of Secretary Gorbachev!" Sergey quickly expressed his attitude.
The motorcade slowly drove into the courtyard of the Soviet embassy in the UK. Sergey stayed here for a while. He discussed some work matters with Yakovlev and the Soviet ambassador to the UK. After dinner, Sergei left the embassy by car and returned to the hotel where the Soviet trade negotiating delegation lived.
Seryozha has now disclosed his identity in the UK,
This caused a lot of trouble for his Japanese plan. Many bankers who were originally attracted by Sergey's huge plan in the Banking Association became indifferent to Sergey. However, those banks that had business cooperation with Sergei Sharif persisted. Barclays Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland and Rothschild Bank still invite Seryozha to participate in some activities of the Banking Association from time to time.
Seryozha had already called Mikhail, and he planned to let Mikhail register a foreign-funded financial company in Japan in the name of the Mediterranean Trading Company, specializing in the mortgage loan packaging business. This matter should be done sooner rather than later. The sooner he enters this market, the more huge profits Seryosha can make.
Mikhail has been the trader of Seryozha's underground financial business for these years. He was originally very smart, diligent and studious, coupled with his interest, he has now become an expert in finance. In the past few years, Yakov and Yuri have gone abroad one after another and started new businesses overseas. Among them, Yuri relied on his aggressiveness, while Yakov relied on his personality that is good at dealing with people. But behind the success of the two, if there is no funds in Mikhail's hands to support them, they may not be able to operate smoothly. Seryozha's financial group is now a bank of gangsters, but customers of this bank not only receive no interest but also pay high service fees for deposits. At the same time, Seryozha's financial group also issued loans to the gangsters. The interest was calculated on a monthly basis, with an annual interest rate as high as 50%, which was just a bit more generous than usury. Seriosha's business is getting bigger and bigger now, and it is very common to borrow some gangster deposits to run his own business. Mikhail has been carefully managing this huge amount of funds. While supporting Seryozha's various businesses, he must also try his best to avoid the problem of poor capital turnover. Because an ordinary bank will go bankrupt at most if this kind of problem occurs, and if this kind of problem occurs in a mafia bank, it will be fatal.
After Mikhail accepted Sergey’s mission, he personally led the team to Japan to set up the organization’s first Asian branch, Sanjinhui. The reason why it was called Sanjinhui was because this company It is mainly for those Japanese financial companies that operate housing loans, personal consumption loans, and personal business loans to carry out credit asset restructuring business. If I explain it in simple words, then Sanjinhui’s customers will mainly be banks and some small financial companies (mainly usury companies in the underworld), and Sanjinhui’s business is to purchase debts that have been issued from these institutions at low prices After being packaged into financial derivatives, they are sold to large financial institutions. This kind of business does not violate the laws of Japan, there is nothing to hide, and Japan does not seem to have strict management of funds from foreign countries. There is neither foreign exchange control nor strict anti-money laundering supervision. (The pinball room) is the best proof, which allows Mikhail to transfer the organization's huge funds to Japan calmly and conveniently. Mikhail didn't plan to worry about the Mediterranean Trading Company for the time being. He transferred his work in the Mediterranean Trading Company to Boris through organizational procedures, and then began to wholeheartedly work on Sergei's Japan plan. (To be continued..)
