Chapter 125: The Subway
When leaving from Chulbanov, Seryosha couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. He was feeling sorry for Chulbanov www.biquge.info. A deputy minister who is the envy of everyone, who married the daughter of the head of state, is simply the object of envy of all Soviets! But Chulbanov, whom Seryosha knew, was a poor creature who had lost his dignity as a man and could not control his own destiny. It is likely that everything he has now will be ruthlessly deprived when the next general secretary comes to power, and Chubanov can only pin all his hopes for the future on Seryosha, a money launderer.
Seryosha couldn't help but think of himself, he felt that he and Chubanov were the same kind of people, the same tied to the thief ship of the corrupt bureaucrats in the Soviet Union, the same inability to control their own fate, the two of them were equally pitiful.
Although Seryosha is doing a lot of business now, he is even more short of money, and he seems to be caught in a strange circle, the more he wants to improve the ability of the Gorky Group to deal with gray funds, the more he must increase investment in legitimate business. The rapid development of Yota Communications, Rose Palace Gallery, and Taj Mahal Casino is entirely due to the 20 billion that Seryosha earned from speculating on whiskey and ice last time. Because all three companies were involved in Seryosha's money laundering business, Seryosha could not and did not dare to allow these three companies to go to formal financial institutions for financing. Because whether it is to seek financing from banks, insurance companies, trust companies, or other investment banks and fund companies, they will ask Seryosha to submit complete accounts to them. How could Seryosha let these things see the light of day.
As a result, unconsciously, a huge amount of 20 billion yuan has been continuously invested in the development of the above three companies, which are growing at an astonishing scale, and the funds are also being consumed at an astonishing rate. Now that it is full, 20 billion has probably flowed into the accounts of the three companies. Although they were not all spent, they could not participate in the speculation unless Seryosha wanted to get the US and European regulators to target them.
Isn't Seryosha out of money? No, Seryosha just has no legal funds, and now he has a lot of gray funds from customers that he has not had time to dispose of. These funds will not be able to flow into the speculative market until they are processed, so it is imperative that Seryosha dispose of a part of the funds as soon as possible to participate in this speculative action. However, this will encounter a new problem, and that is the problem of head accounts.
Seryosha needs more head accounts to deal with this fund urgently, but both Mikhail and Boris have an extreme shortage of head accounts, and if they call on their head account resources, it will inevitably affect normal business. Seryosha thought about it, and finally focused his attention on the project of the workers' new village. It seems that the only way to do this is to use the accounts of these workers who applied for housing in advance.
Seryosha didn't want to use these accounts so early, after all, he had only been here for a few months, and he didn't have the same rights as when he was in Gorky, and he didn't have the right people to deal with these things, and he had to find a way to handle them safely.
Seryosha thought of Pugachev, the young cadre of the Ministry of Light Industry who dealt with financial issues. To find an excuse for him to do this, he has to borrow the name of the workers' new village. Seryosha thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of a name. So the first thing Seryosha did after returning to the League Committee was to call Pugachev into his office.
"Do one thing for me, Pugachev, I need to transfer a sum of money abroad, the sooner the better!" Seryosha ordered straight to the point.
"Oh! Secretary, are you going abroad to buy equipment? Have you already found a company to work with? Pugachev asked curiously. He didn't understand why he was in such a hurry to purchase building materials and engineering equipment abroad as soon as the project started. Can't we just wait? The contracts of the newly found construction companies have not yet come down!
"No, don't touch the funds for the project yet, it's another money, I raised it urgently in the name of the project! Help me transfer to a private account abroad as soon as possible! Number? That's about half a billion dollars! Seryosha said without changing his face.
"Ahh Secretary, what are you...... This is not in accordance with the rules! And how did you get so much money? Pugachev thought he had misheard.
"Don't be nervous, Pugachev, I borrowed all this money, and it was also used for our workers' new village project, although it is not very regular, but it is not a criminal thing!" Seryosha pretended to be relaxed and said.
"But secretary, where did you get so much money from? Also, what are you going to do with all this money abroad? Pugachev asked, still vigilant.
"I can't help it, I borrowed this money from the Gorky Automobile Factory temporarily, what else can I do, isn't it for the smooth progress of our workers' new village?" Seryosha suddenly looked sad and said worriedly.
"How did we spend so much money on our current project?" Pugachev asked curiously.
"Hey, you don't know, I just heard a little rumor, you also know that since last year's West-81 military exercise, we have not had very good relations with Western European countries, isn't this just now, the building materials company and engineering equipment company we have been in contact with called me, they said that their government may impose comprehensive sanctions on our country, so we can't buy what we need, so we have to prepare in advance." Seryosha said without changing his face.
"But what is it that costs so much money?" Pugachev was still not reassured, and he continued to ask.
"Hmmm! It is subway construction equipment, you also know, our projects are located in the south of the city, far away from the city center, if there is no subway, it is too inconvenient for workers to commute to work! And I'm still not satisfied with our domestic ones! Seryosha casually got on the subway.
"Ahh Secretary, you've thought so thoughtfully, that's a good idea! Pugachev finally let down his guard and exclaimed sincerely.
"Pugachev, this money is urgent, if it is not appropriate to use the name of our project department, it needs to be approved by the government, and Western countries are more taboo to do business with our government, it is too sensitive, we have to think of a way to bypass these two obstacles, can you help me use the name of the workers who are interested in living in the workers' new village to take this money out?" Seryosha's face was calm, and he said with apprehension in his heart.
