Chapter 52 Pan-European Mobile Communication Networks

Tonya has lived in Switzerland for almost a year, and she has already gotten used to the life there. [No pop-up novel] Therefore, she plans to transfer the headquarters of Mediterranean Shipping to Switzerland, and Tonya also changed all the cargo ships under Mediterranean Shipping to feminine names like Lolita and Famia. .

Although the entire process of company transfer took a long time, both parties signed a legally binding contract under the witness of a lawyer. Xie Liaosha happily paid nearly 30% of the deposit and successfully obtained the right to operate the company.

Shortly after MSC changed hands, Mediterranean Trading Company handed over the car transportation order to MSC for operation. Just this single business has brought the shipping capacity of Mediterranean Shipping to full capacity. Seryozha knew that the world's manufacturing center would gradually move eastward in the future, so he suggested that Tonya should not order those giant cargo ships that could not pass through the Suez Canal in the short term, and should focus on stable operations.

Under the joint efforts of Gorman and Ilyushin Design Bureau, Emirates finally agreed to adopt the Il-86 as the main model of the fledgling airline. The Ilyushin Design Bureau leased the Il-86 to Emirates Airlines for $8 million a year, which also includes some training and service costs. In order to express his gratitude to Sergey for his work in this transaction, the Emiratis made a special trip to visit him in Moscow and invited Sergey to have the opportunity to visit the UAE. Everyone left a good impression on each other. Although the amount of this transaction is not high, it is the first step for Seryozha to open up the Middle East market.

Seryozha is going to England again soon. This time, in addition to communicating with the British on some economic and trade cooperation, he also needs to make some preliminary preparations for Gorbachev's visit. After arranging some work arrangements for his subordinates, Seryozha flew directly from Moscow to London on the u144 arranged for her by Tonya.

The things to be dealt with this time in England were not as urgent as the last time, and Seryozha arranged the visit as a semi-holiday. Seryozha did not live in the residence arranged by the Soviet embassy, ​​because he was not sure whether Gromyko had really given up on visiting Britain.

Seryozha and his colleagues rented the same hotel as they had done on their previous visit to England, as usual. But Seryozha doesn't plan to live there, because his three wives have already rushed to England to arrange a secluded private residence, which is a single-family apartment near Kensington Palace.

However, Seryozha underestimated his influence in the UK. On the second day after he came to the UK, invitations to attend the event flew to the Soviet embassy like a snowflake. The Soviet embassy did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly sent these invitation letters to Sergei Sha.

These invitations are from some economic and academic groups in the UK. Most of Seryozha had heard of it for the first time, but the activities of the Bankers' Union were unavoidable. So Seryozha accepted the invitation of the Bankers Association, and personally called his old friend to say hello.

Although it has been half a year since the last time I came to the UK, the strike action in the UK still has no meaning of ending.

Even the day before Seryozha came to London, coal miners and the police clashed violently, and some people were killed. Seryozha had originally intended to acquire British utilities. But now is not the time. It is not known when the strike will end, and the situation is still unclear. And the strike action has made the situation in the UK even more turbulent. Because of the bloodshed, British trade unions became more united, and even municipal cleaners joined the strike queue. Along the way, Seryozha saw rubbish piled up on both sides of the road, which still looked like the capital of a country.

The activity of the Banking Association this time is not a large-scale event such as a dance party or a welcome party. It is just that everyone sits together to talk about the business they are interested in and communicate with each other. However, someone gave him a thorough understanding in advance. At this meeting, he will be granted the status of a foreign member of the Royal Bankers Association.

That was why Seryozha had to come.

There are very few pedestrians and vehicles on this road, probably because of the strike. Many people are staying at home. Therefore, Seryozha arrived in the Financial City area where the Bankers Guild was located on time.

The guild staff waiting at the door opened the car door for Seryozha and led Seryozha into the reception room on the second floor.

Sergey opened the door and walked into the reception room. Everyone stood up and applauded Sergey's arrival! Members who were familiar with Sergey came over to shake hands and hug Sergey. After everyone greeted each other, the initiation ceremony of Seryozha will be held.

Seryosha took over the silver badge and certificate symbolizing membership from the president, and then everyone took a group photo. After this, Seryozha's name will be written on the register of this ancient bankers' organization and will become a member of them. Although Seryozha is a foreign member, he still enjoys some rights and obligations that only guild members have. At least if Seryozha wants to expand his business in the UK in the future, he will get help from the members of the guild.

After the membership ceremony is over, it is time for the members of the guild to move freely. This is also the time when members are most active, because people often bring projects to the guild to find collaborators. UU Reading www.ukash.et Seryozha naturally wants to inquire about how the Thatcher government's privatization is going. Now these public utility companies in the UK have become a burden on the government. If someone is willing to take over, I believe the government will not open their mouths. But the biggest obstacle now is not the British government, but the trade unions. If the takeover arouses dissatisfaction with the union, then the money is tantamount to wasted.

Seryozha was next to Atkins and Belford, and asked in a low voice: "Gentlemen, I recently made some money from patents, and I want to invest in a public utility company, water supply, gas supply, communications, electricity Anything is fine. As long as there is no risk of a strike, what do you two recommend?"

"I think it's good to invest in the telecommunications industry! It is said that the leader of the miners, Arthur Scargill, is secretly meeting with the leaders of the workers on the water and gas side. It is very risky to make a move now!" Belford replied.

"Belford, if it were me, I wouldn't touch the telecommunications company. Haven't you heard? The European Union is planning to formulate some kind of European mobile communication standard. Our Post Secretary strongly recommends that the Prime Minister join! Once it is finalized, British telecommunications companies will spend a lot of money to build this pan-European mobile communication network! This is not a small sum!" Atkins said, shaking his head.

"Pan-European mobile communication network? What? Why doesn't Ota Communication know about it?" Seryozha's mood suddenly became heavy.
