The benefits of Mikhail's new friends in Japan are clear, and he has been thoroughly integrated into the country's political and business circles. Many projects that were previously unthinkable are now readily available. But for Mikhail, these were just small surprises.

After successfully convincing Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Co., Ltd. to accept the second-generation mobile communication standard developed by Yota Communications, Japan became the first country in the world to enter the global mobile communications network, and the order will bring Yota more than $30 billion in revenue. However, the shrewd Eva did not ask Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Co., Ltd. to pay Yota Telecom in dollars, instead, the income was eventually paid in full in yen through a loan from the Bank of Japan to Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Co., Ltd. Only a small number of people know the trick behind this.

As one of the parties to this transaction, Rikulut has also received a lot of benefits, and their newly established Rikulut Communication Business will be the exclusive agent of Yota Communications' terminal products - mobile phones. It's a good business, and although Yota Communications is a leader in the communications industry, it is a design company in the pure sense of the word. Not engaged in the production of specific equipment, the first generation of mobile phones and pagers were realized through OEM, and later Yota also sold its mobile phone brand to the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, focusing on the research and development of the second generation of mobile communications. The exclusive agency rights obtained by Rikulut Communication Company directly means that the company has monopolized the mobile phone market in Japan. Therefore, the value of Rikulut Communication is of course immeasurable. Tsuneshi Mato, president of Nippon Telecommunications and Telephone Corporation, and Minister Takeshita have secretly taken away some of the original shares of the Rikulut Telecommunications Company through various means, and as long as this company is listed, another group of LDP cadres will make a fortune.

Time passed little by little, and during this time, most of the dollars with the Foreign Trade Bank were exchanged for yen. Seryosha began to panic in his heart. Because it is about to come when the Central Ministry of Economic Affairs is compiling the next year's financial plan, as one of the six major state-owned banks in China, the Foreign Trade Bank will naturally have to report its own financial resources, and once it is discovered before the signing of the "Plaza Agreement" that the foreign exchange reserves of the Foreign Trade Bank have been exchanged for yen, Seryosha will be completely finished.

In order to cope with the inspection of the Central Ministry of Economic Affairs, Seryosha instructed those cadres close to him who had been transferred from the Youth League Committee to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation to falsify the accounts of the Foreign Trade Bank for a quarter to deal with the Central Ministry of Economic Affairs. Even so, Seryosha is still a little worried, because the Central Economic Department is not a simple institution, this department is directly subordinate to the Central Secretariat, in charge of the formulation of the country's economic plan, not only has great power, but the most important thing is that the current secretary of the Central Secretariat, Ligachev, is not a good guy.

Now Ryzhkov has strict control over the use of funds in various departments of the country, and at the beginning of his tenure, he had a conflict with Yeltsin, who took over the new city. The reason for this is that Yeltsin has declared to the central government a huge amount of funding for the fourth phase of the workers' new city.

Ligachev knew that Yeltsin was a close confidant of General Secretary Gorbachev, but he unceremoniously rejected Yeltsin's application. This incident made Yeltsin and Ligachev stumble at that time, and in the end, Seryosha helped Yeltsin raise funds to tide over the difficulties.

So far, however, Ligachev has not attacked Seryosha's head, and Seryosha's Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation has made remarkable achievements in recent years, and it is not so easy for people to grasp the handle. But now it is different, almost all the foreign exchange of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation has been transferred overseas by Seryosha, and if Ligachev had known, Seryosha would not have been shot a hundred times.

It is not so easy to forge the fake accounts of the Foreign Trade Bank for a quarter, after all, it is impossible to fit the account books imagined out of thin air. However, Seryosha could only submit this account to the Central Ministry of Economic Affairs, and waited for inquiries from the Central Economic Department at any time. On the other hand, Seryosha also has to pay attention to Nasjia in the United Kingdom, because the means of investing in the yen in markets outside Japan are extremely limited, except for Japanese government bonds, there is only yen foreign exchange, and the risk is self-evident.

Seryosha's main thing every day now is to pay attention to the new movements of the finance ministers of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the United States, and Japan. Seryosha pondered every sentence they uttered, trying to learn something different from it. And the news of Minister Takeshita, which leaked from Mikhail's side, is even more important. Judging from the current situation, the "Plaza Accord" was proposed by Minister Takeshita to the US Treasury Department to sign an agreement to jointly regulate the exchange rate of the currencies of the two countries, but the exact amount of responsibility for Japan and European countries in this agreement will only be determined after their talks.

It was almost the end of August, and it was very close to the time described in the phone call at the Plaza Hotel. At this moment, the Central Ministry of Economic Affairs suddenly demanded that six state-owned banks, including the Foreign Trade Bank, count foreign exchange. Seryosha was suddenly a little confused.

Unprepared, a large number of auditors began to enter the Foreign Trade Bank. The speed with which they moved caught Seryosha off guard. Could it be that there is any rumor missing?

The apprehensive Seryosha hurriedly contacted Yakovlev to ask what was going on, and Yakovlev replied in surprise: "This is also the first time I have heard about this matter, and the general secretary has not mentioned it to me. ”

Soon after Yakovlev's investigation, Seryosha learned that this incident was actually done by Ligachev again. So Seryosha did not hesitate to refuse the investigation and auditors from the Central Ministry of Economic Affairs and blocked them from the door of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.

Soon Ligachev called Seryosha to inquire about it.

"Comrade Ulyanov, why didn't you cooperate with the investigation of the Central Economic Department?" As soon as Ligachev came up, he asked unceremoniously.

"Secretary Ligachev, your investigators have seriously interfered with the normal work of our Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and according to the usual practice, the matter of checking the foreign exchange deposit should be carried out at the end of the year, and it is the busiest time of the year for our business, so please forgive us for not being able to cooperate!" Seryosha also unceremoniously pushed back.

"You are interfering with the work of the Secretariat, don't you know that we are exploring foreign exchange reserves in order to formulate a new plan for economic reform? If you delay the major event of economic reform, can you afford to take this responsibility? Ligachev accused.

"Then let Secretary Gorbachev give the order!" Seryosha slammed the phone.
