Soviet Godfather - v5 Chapter 245
After the Malta summit, the Soviet Union and the United States reached a new cooperation agreement, and the price was to give up most of the Soviet power in Eastern European countries and to reduce the troops and strategic weapons deployed on the Western Front. At Sergei’s insistence, the United States agreed to the Soviet Union’s request for assistance in the step-by-step withdrawal of troops, and to provide corresponding financial assistance after the Soviet Union completed its withdrawal. This is great news for Gorbachev, because when the Soviet Union’s large foreign debt expires next year, the Soviet Union can obtain new loans from the United States and compensation for withdrawal to make up for the shortfall.
However, the biggest advantage is not to obtain funds directly, but the Soviet Union can finally open the import of food and meat products from the United States and other urgently needed materials. On the second day of the signing of the Malta Agreement, many companies under the Gorky consortium began to enter the Soviet market.
Iridium entered the Leningrad Special Economic Zone with the world’s most advanced satellite phone system, and the Bank of Colombia announced the launch of financial services in the Soviet Union. Glencore Group has reached a strategic partnership with Soviet Union Natural Gas Konzern and Soviet Aluminum Konzern. In the last month of 1989, the Mediterranean Trading Company imported a large amount of food, wine, and meat from the United States and put it on the Soviet New Year’s supply market, which greatly eased the shortage of supply in the Soviet Union for many years. This makes many people start to rekindle hope for the future of life.
Under Seriosha’s care for many years, Glencore has completely become a resource trading platform. His business has covered most of the world’s bulk commodities, from South American coffee, soybeans, sugar, and Indian products. From tea to food in North America and Australia, as well as resources such as spot oil and mineral products on a global scale, Glencore is one of the best competitors in these fields. After years of operation, Glencore has become the world’s largest grain trader, electrolytic aluminum trader, spot oil trader, and the largest buyer of South American coffee, soybeans and sugar, and the largest buyer of South African gold. At present, Glencore is aggressively purchasing copper ore in South America and Africa. Judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time before Glencore becomes the world’s largest copper ore trader.
Most of Glencore’s customers are countries that are blocked or lack foreign exchange, so Glencore’s barter trade provides these countries lacking foreign exchange with a new option to exchange for the required commodities. Over the years, as Glencore’s transaction volume has grown larger and larger, Serezha has been looking for new markets for Glencore’s resource products. From Japan to the United States, Serezha has been trying his best to acquire those profitability. Good industrial enterprises consume the resources in Canon’s hands.
Sergei Sha’s second special economic zone is planned in the Komsomolsk, because it is close to the Far East and can radiate the entire East Asia region, and can even export products directly to Canada and North America. The market there is huge and the potential is endless. Sergey Shah planned a large piece of land in the Komsomolsk for the construction of new petrochemical projects, as well as new natural gas pipelines and oil pipelines.
Sergei’s large-scale investment has greatly eased the severe unemployment in the Soviet Union. Because of the start of the natural gas pipeline project, a large number of downstream companies have regained orders, and a large number of unemployed youths have also been recruited. Natural gas pipeline project.
In order to avoid being taken away by others after the disintegration, and the Soviet government really has no money, these projects that Sergei started using all foreign funds, experienced the divestment of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone. After the tide, the funds earned from the Japanese market became the main source of development funds for large-scale construction in the Soviet Union.
Suddenly there were so many more construction projects, which made the originally abundant Soviet labor market become a little tense. Sergei Sha’s attitude towards the withdrawal of troops has now changed from worry to expectation. He hopes to be in Germany. The garrison will be able to return to the country earlier so that it can have more manpower for its natural gas pipeline project.
Hearing that the Soviet Union was going to build petrochemical and natural gas projects to the Far East, Japan and South Korea were overjoyed. They even took the initiative to request funds for the Soviet Union to jointly build this huge project. However, Sergei Sha did not want them to intervene in his own project. He only allowed the two countries to provide loans to the Komsomolsk Special Economic Zone, and the products would be used to repay the loans after the project was put into production. Facing the harsh conditions put forward by Sergei Sha, Japan and South Korea were afraid that there would be no shop in this village, and finally agreed without hesitation.
Although Sergei wanted to export natural gas and oil to China, the Chinese market has only just started, and China is still an oil exporter. I am afraid it will take several years to make China a buyer. However, Sergei knows that the current turmoil in the Japanese financial market will provide China with an excellent opportunity because of the collapse of Japan’s financial and credit system~www.mtlnovel.com~ Japan will have to transfer many manufacturing companies to Overseas, in that case China will become the biggest beneficiary country.
Sergei’s large-scale investment made many old men of the Gorky consortium indirectly drenched a lot. Hassan received one order after another from Sergei to build houses, which made Hassan earn a lot A large sum of money. However, due to the fact that there are too many orders, now those old men who have been with Sergei Sha for many years have also devoted themselves to the board construction industry. There really isn’t much content in the board room, so the low-entry industry is most suitable for the old men of Sergei Sha.
Although the current situation seems to be very good, the separatist tendencies of the three Baltic countries still make Sergei a little worried. Sergei was afraid of Georgia’s recurrence in the three Baltic countries. For Sergei Sha, the three Baltic countries are not that important. He neither invests in these areas nor does he place his own influence in these areas. But if the Red Army of the Soviet Union represses the three Baltic countries by force, it will probably cause another panic across Europe.
Sergei Shah has now determined his position on the three Baltic countries, that is, the Soviet Red Army must not be allowed to use force to suppress it, even if the three countries are truly independent, there is nothing remarkable. The present Soviet Union is not suitable for waving its fists. It should keep a low profile and repent and devote itself to developing its economy, just like what its southern neighbors have done over the years. Build walls high, accumulate grain, and slowly become king.
