Chapter 37

Seryozha's reception was organized through some of his English friends. He not only invited Mr. Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, the richest man in the world, but also Comrade Hamer to stand for himself. Comrade Hammer is over 80 years old, and gradually handed over the management of Occidental Petroleum Company to his subordinates. Now he mainly manages the Hammer Gallery to pass his retirement time. However, what Seryozha did not expect was that this time the reception also attracted many people from the American investment community to attend, probably because of the charm of subprime mortgage products.

The reception that Seryozha entrusted to his British friends did not forbid journalists and the media from coming. Since the mainstream topic of the reception this time was still focused on the discussion of subprime mortgage products, most of the economic circles who came to participate came for the name of the father of the subprime mortgage Sergei Sha. The media is just the opposite, most of them are not for the subprime mortgage, but for the world's richest man Yoshiaki Tsutsumi.

With Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's current wealth of more than 160 billion US dollars, even Bill Gates 30 years later cannot compare with the Japanese. Now that the Internet wave has not yet arrived, manufacturing is the main way to create wealth. But Yoshiaki Tsutsumi sat on the throne of the richest man in the world with a large-scale land development business model. Although this person is nothing more than a few decades later, he is now the focus of media attention all over the world.

With the help of Tsutsumi Yoshiaki's enthusiasm, someone finally discovered the existence of Seryozha. Seryozha is wearing a dark blue suit today, with two gold stars pinned to his chest. Some of the reporters were familiar with the honor of the Soviet Union, and soon discovered Seryozha's extraordinary identity. Could there be anything more eye-catching than a guy with the honor of a Hero of the Soviet Union appearing in public in America.

"Mr. Ulyanov, what is your real identity?" A reporter suddenly asked loudly, this voice interrupted the voice of a female reporter who was asking questions to Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, and she turned her head angrily I want to see who is so ignorant of the rules.

"I am an official of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Soviet Union!" Seryozha said unabashedly. As soon as this remark came out, there was a commotion among the crowd. Everyone seemed to understand who the real protagonist of this reception was.

"What is your purpose in coming to America this time?"

"Do you have a secret mission?"

"Does your choice to come to the United States at this time mean that the Soviet Union intends to influence the US election?"

...

The reporters who were still excited about Tsutsumi's arrival suddenly turned their attention to Seryozha. Seryozha didn't say a word, just sat there smiling at the camera, and the reporters took pictures. His subprime mortgage products may not be of much interest to the American media. On the contrary, the current attitude of the Soviet Union is the topic that reporters care about. With the help of Tsutsumi Yoshiaki, Seryozha has now successfully sold himself.

Seeing this, Sergey's British friends were afraid that Sergey would be demonized and reported by the media if he said nothing, and it would be bad if it would affect the value of subprime mortgage products. So they immediately asked their staff to protect Seryozha and leave first. Seryozha did not want to cause trouble to his British friends. And he didn't need to say anything, because the media already knew that an official from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation from the Soviet Union was now in New York. As long as the rest of the matter is investigated a little, it will be clear.

Sure enough, the media did not disappoint Seryozha, and the newspapers were full of reports about him the next day. He came to the United States to attend a meeting, his position in the Soviet Union, and even his dealings with the British government in a few months were all revealed by the media. The media questioned whether Seryozha came to the United States with other purposes. Because from the perspective of Seryozha's resume, he played an important role in the cooperation between Britain and the Soviet Union a few months ago. It is hard for the media to believe that the Soviet government allowed such an official to come to the United States just for an economic summit forum. However, the most eye-catching thing is an inevitable drama at this summit forum, that is, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Soviet Union and the Secretary of Commerce of the United States,

Dialogue among economic officials such as the Fed chairman, Treasury secretary, etc. You know, this is the closest contact between senior government officials of the Soviet Union and the United States for several years (except for the confrontation at the United Nations).

Another benefit after the exposure is that the concept of subprime mortgages has begun to attract the attention of the media, and some specialized financial media in the United States have begun to focus on this financial patent of Sergei Sha. Now there was a long line of people waiting to be interviewed at the entrance of Sergey's suite. In order to create a good impression for the media, Sergey invited these visitors to his room one by one to have a short communication with him. For some common questions about subprime mortgages, Sergey gave them the phone number of Karim's London office. As for those who came to discuss cooperation matters, Sergey would always do business Call to ask for attention.

In the afternoon, Seryozha had to attend meetings related to the Economic Summit Forum, so he made an appointment with those guests who hadn't had time to talk in detail. Seryozha once again sorted out his speech. Before the meeting started in the afternoon, Seryozha arrived at the venue on time. This time, more and more people knew Seryozha. Some friends and acquaintances that Seryozha met in England, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, a guest of Nomura Securities, and some new guests who visited Seryozha these days greeted him one after another, which was enough for Seryozha face.

Also present at today's meeting are US economic officials, and Seryozha's seat is far away from them. Although everyone is going to speak today, it doesn't mean that Sergey and them will have the opportunity to get acquainted. Seryozha kept an eye on their movements, just when Seryozha was racking his brains to create opportunities for communication. He saw the Secretary of Commerce of the United States suddenly leave his seat and walk outside the venue, and Sergei quickly followed.

The Minister of Commerce did not notice Seryozha behind him, and he went straight to the bathroom at the end of the corridor. Seryozha stepped forward a few steps and saw the Minister of Commerce walking into a compartment outside the door. Seryozha immediately picked up the Do Not Disturb sign behind the door and hung it on the doorknob. Seryozha casually picked up a mop and walked outside the compartment of the Minister of Commerce, and pinned the compartment door from the outside with a mop pole.

The Minister of Commerce heard the noise outside the door and hurried to push the door, only to find himself blocked inside. He hurriedly asked, "Who is outside? What are you going to do?"

"Your Excellency, I am here to greet you on behalf of the Soviet people!" Seryozha said with a smirk.
