Chapter 223: A Blessing in Disguise

"Congressman McDonald, may I delay you a little longer, our Saskatchewan Wheat Joint Venture ......"

"Minister Bradley, I would like to communicate with you a little more about the export of grain to our country......"

……

At the luncheon held by the Saskatchewan Wheat Joint Venture, Seryosha and Yakovlev were divided into two ways, Seryosha constantly lobbied various factions of Canadian politics through the political brokers hired by the Saskatchewan Wheat Joint Venture, in addition to the radical far-right faction of parliamentarians, Seryosha mainly contacted the political forces in Saskatchewan Province, the political forces representing the interests of farmers, and he also enlisted various stakeholders such as the Canadian Agricultural Association to block the Canadian government's ban on grain exports.

They did this both for the USSR and for Gorbachev. Just last night, Gorbachev had a telephone conversation with officials from Canada's agriculture department about continuing to implement the agricultural cooperation agreement.

The media, however, overwhelmingly reported on the Korean-Canadians who protested in front of the Soviet embassy. Seryosha and Yakovlev could only save the situation secretly through private communication. At present, Canada's political tendency is still biased towards sanctions against the Soviet Union, and Seryosha does not expect the Canadian government to abandon this plan, he only hopes that the Canadian government will exclude food.

"How's it going over there?" After the luncheon, Yakovlev asked Seryosha.

"Saskatchewan's parliamentarians and representatives of agricultural associations reluctantly agreed to be on our side, but they wouldn't speak for us, they just promised to vote in favor of the issue!" Seryosha replied.

"It's already very good, I talked to the speaker of the Canadian parliament and they agreed to take food and agriculture cooperation separately for hearings, and this is the only chance I can get!" Yakovlev said with some frustration.

"In your experience, what are our odds of winning?" Seryosha asked.

"What do the people from the Romanov Trading Company say?" Yakovlev did not directly answer Seryosha's question, but asked him about the Romanov trading house.

"They told me that the Saskatchewan legislators should all support it, and that the others are not guaranteed. When will the hearing take place and how much time do we have left? What else can we do? Seryosha asked.

"Don't try to use the domestic one to deal with them, not only is it easy to be self-defeating, but once discovered, it may bring us more trouble!" Yakovlev thought that Seryosha was using his brain, and hurriedly persuaded him.

"I just want to know what else we can do?" Seryosha explained to Yakovlev.

"You discuss with the people of the Romanov Trading Company, but if it doesn't work, we will change the place of the transaction to a neutral country, or a Warsaw Pact country that is not subject to sanctions!" Yakovlev suggested to Seryosha that Seryosha did not think about this. It's just that Seryosha wants to set up a location in Turkey, and then transport goods to Rostov through his relationship with the Turkish mafia, so that his home base Gorky will become the center of the Soviet Union's domestic grain turnover. But since Turkey was a NATO country and had frequent frictions with the Soviet Union, Seryosha feared that the Soviet government would not agree.

"But how can these countries, in the face of pressure from the United States, still engage in entrepot trade with us?" Seryosha asked worriedly.

"You forgot? We still have oil, and unless they no longer need our oil, it will be impossible to impose a complete trade blockade on us! Your Moscow trading company should prepare in advance, and the state may allow you to expand your business to other countries and become a multinational company! Yakovlev replied.

Seryosha was overjoyed when he heard this, and let the Moscow Trading Company become a multinational trading company, doing spot trading in foreign markets. And with the national oil weapons of the USSR backing themselves, will such a good thing easily fall on their heads? Seryosha simply can't imagine that Yakovlev had already communicated with Gorbachev about this issue? In order to find out, Seryosha hurriedly asked Yakovlev for advice: "Director, is this matter your opinion, or what Secretary Ge meant?" ”

"This is the alternative that Secretary Ge agreed, Romanov is one of the few companies that can meet our grain import needs, and this kind of company is hard to come by for us! If making you a multinational trading company can help us solve more food shortages, why restrict you? Yakovlev asked rhetorically.

"What do you mean?" Seryosha asked, he can't wait to return to China now, the matter here has nothing to do with him, even if the Canadian government sanctions, Seryosha can let the branches of the Moscow Trading Company open all over the world, and the Canadian government can't trace where the grain he imports comes from.

"Hurry back to your country, Seryosha! We can't control things here, so we might as well go back to Moscow and work hard! "Yakovlev seems to have come with instructions from Secretary Go.

After saying goodbye to Yakovlev, Seryosha first made a phone call to Mikhail in the country, asking him to prepare for the opening of a branch of the Moscow Trading Company abroad, and then rushed home and told Karim the news. Karim was also very happy to hear the news, but Eva was a little reluctant to leave Seryosha early.

"Don't be sad, Eva! That's a good thing, if the Moscow Trading Company expands its business abroad, then I can go abroad more often! Wouldn't it be more convenient for us to meet? Seryosha persuaded. Hearing Seryosha say this, Eva immediately understood that this parting would allow everyone to stay together often in the future, which was indeed great news.

"I'm going to Switzerland to help us find a place to live, and we're going to live in Switzerland forever in the future, and I'll laugh out loud when I think about it!" Karim said excitedly.

"Seryosha, do I still need to go to Poland?" Tonya asked.

"Maybe it's better for our air cargo company to be in Switzerland so I can see all of you more easily! Anyway, I'll go back to China first, and you guys will continue to deal with Monsanto and other things here! When everything is arranged, you all go to Switzerland and I'll come to you! Seryosha instructed them.
