Essentially, the MLM that ravaged Asia in later generations did not require any good products, at least not at all in Serov's memory. If you want to talk about harmfulness, it's super powerful. Most of the MLM participants are not able to get rich overnight as the organizers claim, but more are scattered with money, destitute, or even in debt.
In the end, I had to face poverty and frequent debt collection by others. After the dream of pyramid scheme wealth was shattered, many people had to leave the country in order to get out of trouble and repay their debts. Some elderly people and retirees, due to the dispersion of their family wealth, have nothing to support their old age and have no medical treatment.
If this kind of thing were to break out in Italy, it would definitely give birth to a large number of proletarians, and maybe there would be social unrest! What the proletarians need most is precisely the center of propaganda that has been being carried out, and when the time comes, it is only necessary to guide public opinion and aim at capitalism, how much of a role it can play Serov does not know, the role must be there anyway.
"The problem is that the time for the elections has been waited for step by step! Or after the emergence of social problems, the Catholic Democratic Party was forced to dissolve the parliamentary elections! "This is Serov's headache, normally speaking, it should be more of the latter, which has occurred in many countries. But the problem is that this is not the era after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the opponent of the Catholic Democratic Party, but Italy**.
Serov dared to guarantee that even if there was social unrest, the United States would support the Catholic Democratic Party to hold on, and would never dissolve the parliament, giving the United States time to calm down the social unrest. The best outcome is actually that the Catholic Democratic Party will set a time for the election, and then the contradictions will erupt before the election, and Italy will have a chance.
"But this thing is not under my control, God can do it!" Serov was about to pull his hair off, and he always felt uncertain when he thought about it. He had to do something, otherwise he would be stuck in Italy, and he didn't know when he would be able to return to the Soviet Union.
On the other hand, the KGB agent team that came to Italy from Moscow did not get caught up in Serov's entanglement, because this kind of problem did not need to be considered by them, and all they thought about was to do their job well.
In Western Europe, Italy does not seem to be too brilliant compared to Britain, France and Germany. Industry is not inferior to any country in Britain, France and Germany in this era, and its military strength is inferior to that of Britain and France, and it is about the same as Germany. Luxury is also pressed by France, and the only places that come close to France are fashion and wine. Although Italy's economy grew rapidly in the fifties, it was still lower than Germany's, so it was in an awkward position.
Can fashion be used as a product for MLM? Serov had not heard of it, and the members of the team after the investigation also gave up this kind of stupidity, and after some investigation, a week later, the report passed through Menderev's hands and handed over to Serov.
"Wine? Good idea! "I have to say that there is a common language between the crooks, which is the same as Serov's idea. Once he linked wine to MLM, Serov retrieved a lot of things from his memory almost instantly, such as wine trays, fairy jumps, telephone scams, and so on.
In order to continue to contribute to the cause of the disgusting enemy, Serov also fought hard. In addition to going out to meetings, speeches, working and sleeping, the rest of the time is spent recalling the scam news that I have read, and then deducing it in my head to see if it is suitable for this era, and then writing it in a notebook, if necessary, this is the second Serov report.
The KGB team focused on wine, and there was something unique about it. Fashion and wine are two of Italy's best-known consumer industries, and unlike the rest, Italy and France are not too far apart.
There are hundreds of thousands of people working in the wine industry in Italy, and the sales network itself is very large, and the entry point of the KGB team is also in place. Unlike a few decades later, the wine industry is not monopolized by dozens of super-sized enterprises as it was later, and the market environment can also form the soil for MLM.
"So now we're going to buy the next winery, as our product!" Mendelev said. Although MLM does not need good products as a means, it also needs a foundation. Buying a winery is a good choice.
So? So give the money, the funds are in Serov's hands, and with financial support, the people below can throw off their arms and do it.
As for the severity of the damage, Serov certainly hopes that the more destructive the better, this is not Serov's homeland, and in the case that both sides are enemies, it is completely forgivable to harm others and benefit themselves, and if you want to blame the Italians, they do not have the ability to counter the Soviet Union, but they are still in the hostile camp of the Soviet Union.
The most intuitive feeling is that there is not enough money to spend. When it really mattered, Serov realized that his lion's mouth was still a little smaller.
"In fact, if during the election, it is not bad to have the help of the best of fraternal countries to build momentum! Maybe there will be unexpected receipts, but it is better not to involve the fraternal countries of Eastern Europe, for fear that it will backfire? Serov pondered for a moment and asked, "I can contact France** and get some support!" It may be more certain to involve some fraternal parties in other NATO countries! ”
"Comrade Serov, this may require the help of comrades from the Department of External Liaison Affairs!" Menderev said with a look of impotence.
"External Liaison Department?" Serov's eyes narrowed, and the division of labor and the perfection of the various departments of the Soviet Union had reached the point of being excessive. Let's put it this way, if it takes five days to visit one department, Serov needs the cooperation of all departments, and he has to visit all departments. Then it will take a year for Serov to get the support of all departments.
Never mind! I've got the boss! When Serov encounters problems beyond his ability, he can always forcibly shake the pot, and this matter can be turned to Sherepin for help. The Department of Foreign Liaison was a special department of the Soviet Union for liaison with fraternal parties, and interestingly, there was another department that managed almost the same thing, and this department was the European Intelligence Agency.
"Okay, let the comrades of the International Liaison Department bother more!" Serov is a final.
"I feel like I can learn something new from the world every day!" Serov said lazily. When the people were gone, Valya came over and massaged Serov's head, and this feeling reminded Serov of his days in the Komsomol, although idle, at least without a lot of brains.
"You are just one person, there are so many professionals in the motherland, you don't need to bother so much!" Valya said softly.
