Chapter 171: Planning and Arrangement
The Vatican is a country with a land area of only 0.44 square kilometers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Such a small country has a huge influence in the world because of its religion. And most of the country's diplomatic ambassadors are foreigners, such as Archbishop Russell, who is himself an Australian. Therefore, it is not fanciful for Seryosha to obtain the status of two diplomats by donating money.
When Yuri and Ivankov returned that day, they were indescribably excited. Seryosha had already guessed this outcome. However, listening to the two excitedly describe the scene when they were arrested, Seryosha deeply felt that the 100 million dollars were well spent.
Seryosha still had a little time before returning home, just in time for Yuri and Ivankov to make contact with important people on the Mexican side. And during this time, Seryosha has already allocated a huge cash flow on his hands. Seryosha still has more than $40 billion in his hands. Half of this will be given to Yota Communications as a research and development investment for the second generation of mobile communication networks, and Yota Communications' own profits will continue to be invested in this project. Seryosha's strategy for Eva is to develop the second generation of mobile communication technology while also focusing on the third generation of mobile communication technology to ensure that Yota communication always maintains a leading position in this field.
In addition, Seryosha also noticed the emergence of Internet Protocol standards, which made him realize that the era of the Internet was coming. However, the network in the United States still exists only within the confines of individual universities. The nationwide internet has not yet appeared, and no one is aware of the enormous potential in it. Seryosha commissioned a consulting firm to investigate, and the future network equipment giant Cisco has not yet appeared. It's not too late for Yota Communications to enter this space. Therefore, Yota Communication's next strategy is to enter the network equipment market, which is still in its infancy, and Seryosha hopes that Yota Communications can win the main patent of routing technology as soon as possible.
Karim's business in Europe also requires a lot of money. Seryosha is now involved in three major commodities: Soviet oil, cotton, and Canadian wheat. Spot trading carries a huge amount of risk, and it can take about a month for a ship carrying goods to make a round trip at sea. Before the commodities are delivered to buyers, as long as the prices of three commodities on commodity exchanges such as London, New York, and Chicago, which have pricing power, are lower than Seryosha's cost price, then the goods have to be sold at a low price. It can be said that the trading activities of the Romanov trading house bear a huge risk. In order to reduce the risk, Seryosha needs to hedge the futures market of the corresponding category in the three markets before the delivery of each trade, that is, to make an opposite short trade. In this way, if the market price is lower than the cost of Seryosha, then the loss in the spot market can be compensated by the gains in the futures market. That's why the Romanov trading house needs experienced traders, so to speak, every transaction of the Romanov trading house actually takes up twice as much money. Therefore, if Karim wants to maintain a transaction size of about 10 billion, the capital required is 20 billion. It is for this reason that the other half of Seryosha's funds will be handed over to Karim to operate.
In this way, Seryosha is actually still very short of money, but although the wealth on the books is only 40 billion US dollars, Seryosha still has some hidden assets in his hands, and these money need to be borrowed from Yuri's casino operation to become legal funds. The rest is the domestic business of the Soviet Union, and now Seryosha has a bank in hand, and as long as it does not involve foreign exchange transactions, then the National Housing Bank is enough to support Seryosha's existing business.
There is already a plan for the financial arrangement, and the personnel arrangement will also be changed. Gergina has always been in charge of the Italian side, and it is too dangerous for a woman to deal with those mafia. Seryosha planned to hand over this matter to Yakov in the future, and it just so happened that Yakov was still shouldering the heavy task of liaising with the Poles, and Yakov would be entrusted with the heavy responsibility of dealing with these foreign forces in the future, and Mikhail, who was transferred to Moscow, could take over Yakov's oil and Uzbek cotton business.
Now the mutual aid society is of little use to Seryosha, but this organization is a good tool for Seryosha to gain a good reputation. Seryosha intends to continue to arrange for Boris to manage the lair in Gorky City, after all, there is still his lover Lilia and the family forces behind Lilia. Boris has deep roots in the city of Gorky and has helped a lot. Seryosha intended to hand over to him the relations of clients in the USSR, as well as some of Yakov's relations in Tyumen and Mikhail's in Uzbekistan.
Tergina and Tonya's connections at the airline were also important, but the flight attendants and pilots smuggled foreign goods into the Soviet Union Seryosha were now somewhat out of sight. After all, Seryosha's current business scale has been initially formed, and he doesn't have too much energy to ask about this small business. However, Terkina and Tonya can just take over the past, and these small goods are still very marketable in Tyumen and Gorky. The main purpose of continuing to maintain such a business is to strengthen their relationships in civil aviation companies. Seryosha hoped that the two would be promoted within the Soviet civil aviation industry, preferably in charge of some key departments. However, their age is hard, it seems unlikely at present, but Seryosha's layout is long-term, and the civil aviation system is an important channel for foreign contact, at least for now, once there is something in the country, Seryosha can escape abroad through the relationship between the two in the civil aviation system, and many of the domestic technical information that Seryosha values also needs to be taken abroad by the two of them, and then registered as a patent in Europe and the United States. Seryosha hopes that among these patents there will be a few more buried treasures like the Altai system.
Smoothing out the business things made Seryosha feel particularly good, drunk and dreaming in the casino every day, drunk and drunk, and at night in the gentle countryside to enjoy the different services of his wife. This kind of day has made Seryosha forget the existence of time, he no longer wants to go back to the Soviet Union, how he wishes this life will go on forever!
Yuri and Ivankov, on the other hand, are in a very different mood from Seryosha, and as the day of the Mexican's arrival draws closer, the two will have to convince each other to keep this group of big customers. That's a $400 million a week business!
