Remember [Thousands of Novels] in one second, providing you with wonderful novels to read.
The conversation between Yeltsin and Sergei on the cruise ship clearly clarified his real purpose of inviting Sergei to Sverdlovsk Oblast to participate in the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant. Sergei immediately stood between the two of them. position on the advantageous side. Although Seryozha did not request to go to Yeltsin's place now, he could sell this favor to Yeltsin as much as possible, anyway, there will always be a chance for Yeltsin to repay him in the future.
Seryozha has now transferred most of the Gorky Brotherhood's business abroad, but the roots are still in the Soviet Union. Seryozha needs to use the Soviet Union's commodity transactions to deal with the funds of the mafia and South American drug lords, so the position of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation is very important to Seryozha. If Seryozha wants to firmly occupy this position, he has to make achievements in this position, so that the gentlemen in the Kremlin feel that no one is qualified for this position except Comrade Ulyanov. This is why Seryozha still stayed in the Soviet Union and continued to struggle in his official career.
In the past few years, Seryozha has spent a lot of money on foreign acquisitions. Only a small part of the money came from the formal banking system, and most of it was embezzled from customers. This created a partial deficit. To be honest, Seryozha’s legal business doesn’t make much money. Yota Communication’s profit has been invested in the research and development of the second-generation mobile communication system, while Monsanto is still in a state of loss, and Glencore is still in the stage of continuous expansion. It is impossible to get rid of the dependence on cash for a long time. To put it bluntly, if it wasn't for the money laundering business, Seryozha wouldn't be able to do so much business.
According to the business scale of the Italian Mafia and the Medellin Group, there are about 20 billion funds that need to be handled by Seriosha every year. Based on the average profit of 7% of the handling fee, it can earn about 100 million dollars a year. More than one billion US dollars, and after deducting the necessary expenses such as costs and personnel expenses, in fact, the annual profit is about one billion US dollars. This is already the biggest income of Serezha. As for Yuri's casino and hotel, although they are profitable on the whole, they can only maintain the loss of Monsanto, that's all.
Xie Liaosha knew his own situation. It seemed that his family had a big business, but in fact, most of them were fixed assets and some virtual wealth, but he didn't have much cash. Since you want to engage in the money laundering business for a long time, you must have a company of a corresponding size to wipe out the accounts. Therefore, Glenone is an indispensable platform. The behavior of relying on leather bag companies to repay debts has been done once or twice. It's okay, if you do this often, you will have an accident sooner or later, it's not a long-term solution at all.
Seryozha and Yeltsin took the opportunity of fishing to speak out completely, in order to let Yeltsin feel their kindness. Seryosha disclosed to Yeltsin some information about the future planning of the Workers' New City that was not made public. He also promised Yeltsin that once he took control of Workers' New City, the National Housing Bank would continue to provide financing services for this project. This greatly increased Yeltsin's confidence. But Seryozha also told Yeltsin clearly that it is best not to let Seryozha do it himself. Seryozha will find a way to introduce Yeltsin to Yakovlev. It is most appropriate for Yakovlev to come forward in this matter, and Seryozha will provide support in secret. Don't let Secretary Gorbachev think that they have any personal collusion. It will be troublesome if Secretary Gorbachev thinks that Seryozha still wants to use Yeltsin to remotely control the new workers' city project.
When Seryozha and Yeltsin returned to shore again, they had just formed a political alliance, and each got what they wanted. They can stop thinking about work now and just enjoy their free time. Sergesha and Yeltsin toasted each other frequently, as if they had been friends for many years. There was a lot of sincerity and tacit understanding in the smiles of the two of them.
After a pleasant weekend, there are still two days left before the opening ceremony of the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant.
During these two days, Yeltsin left all his official duties to accompany Sergei Sha to investigate the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant. The Ural Heavy Machinery Plant is an important part of the Soviet Union's national economy. Its business covers nuclear power industry equipment, oil and gas engineering and equipment, special steel production, metallurgical equipment, petrochemical equipment, mining equipment, cold depth equipment and other fields. In addition to producing civilian heavy In addition to equipment, it also produced various types of tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery and other military equipment for the Soviet Red Army. In the 1930s, Jiang Jing and Jiang Fangliang worked in this factory, met, and got married. It can be said that this factory is almost the cradle of the Soviet machinery industry. Under Yeltsin's recommendation, Seryosha got acquainted with many economic cadres here. This is of great significance to Seryozha and the cadres of the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant. The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of Seryozha controls overseas sales channels, and the industrial products of Ural Heavy Machinery Plant are also very competitive in Europe. The prospects for cooperation between the two parties are great.
Two days passed quickly, and on the day of the commissioning ceremony, Seryosha and Yeltsin attended the ceremony together. Not only the Soviets participated in the ceremony, but also technical personnel and representatives of Alstom. It seems that the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom have not had this level of cooperation for many years. As the facilitator of this project, Seryozha personally pressed the button to start the production line. All of a sudden, there was thunderous applause. This moment marked that the Soviet-European gas pipeline project will completely get rid of the obstruction of the United States and Japan, and will be completely dominated by the Soviets. The entire European economy will experience a new turnaround due to the existence of this energy artery, which will be of great benefit to both Western European countries and the Soviet Union.
Seryozha raised his glass to celebrate with the guests at the scene. At this moment, Nastya walked up behind Seryozha and whispered something in his ear. Seryozha nodded his head to show that he understood, stayed at the ceremony for a while, and then left the factory in the same car as Yeltsin. On the way, Seryozha bid farewell to Yeltsin, and Yeltsin asked curiously: "Brother Seryozha, is there something urgent for you to leave in such a hurry?"
"Brother Boris, I was invited to an economic conference in the United States. I don't know what happened. Secretary Gorbachev found out about it. He asked me to go back to Moscow first, saying that there was something important to report to me. Let me explain! In addition, I want to help you get rid of Yakovlev before leaving, do you think you want to return to Moscow with me?" Seryozha whispered to Yeltsin, and Yeltsin nodded understandingly .
