Soviet Godfather - v5 Chapter 247
How to occupy a larger share of the US market is a problem that Sergei and Gorky Financial Group must face in order to survive. Precisely because the United States is the most mature capitalist market in the world, in addition to emerging high-tech industries, whether it is the energy industry, manufacturing, or financial industry, it has long been carved up by the big consortia. As a participating participant, the Gorky consortium will inevitably grab a portion of the market and benefits from these consortiums. The difficulty of this can be imagined.
The Gorky Consortium participated in a lot of money laundering business at the founding stage. No matter what it is, these things are like a bomb that can bring the Gorky Consortium to the top of the disaster at any time. If you want to completely wash the Gorky Brotherhood into a recognized legal consortium, and participate in the distribution of American interests in the sun, you have to break out of the American market that has been divided up by the American consortia. Follow your own path and expand your control and influence as much as possible.
The Gorky Consortium is now the largest consortium in the UK. It controls the UK’s water supply, natural gas, and more than half of the electricity market. Basically every British family contributes profits to the Gorky consortium. In Germany, the Gorky consortium controls half of the Federal German automobile industry, and more than one-tenth of West German workers are working for the Gorky consortium. In Italy, the Gorky consortium and the Mafia monopolized the entire Mediterranean shipping industry, and indirectly controlled the Italian domestic natural gas market and foreign trade market. In addition, the Gorky consortium is gradually infiltrating the Eastern European socialist camp that is about to change, and these Gorky consortiums alone have no rivals in Europe.
But Europe is not the center of the world after all. No matter how Sergei toss in Europe, he cannot truly obtain absolute security. Therefore, Sergei Sha’s ultimate goal is to gain a firm foothold in the United States. A year ago, Sergei used the Blackstone Group to acquire an unknown large-scale energy company, the American Enron Group, and retained the company’s management. Sergei bought this company because he knew that the company would grow into the world’s largest energy company and energy trading platform, and eventually went bankrupt due to financial fraud. However, how Enron has grown from a small company in Texas to the world’s largest energy giant in more than ten years is not clear to Sergei. It wasn’t until recently that Kenneth Ray, CEO of Enron Group, imported a large amount of cheap natural gas from Europe, which inspired Sergey Shah.
Kenneth Ray’s business strategy is very simple. He has successfully transformed the traditional coal-fired power plant fuel from coal to natural gas by transforming its power plants. And it is directly transported to the power plant through the gas pipeline. In today’s world, natural gas has not replaced coal as the mainstream energy source. However, because natural gas is a clean energy source, it is highly favored by environmental protection groups, so this transformation not only achieved economic success, but also won a good social reputation for Enron.
Kenneth Ray wanted to acquire and renovate more power plants. This inspired Sergey Shah. Electricity is the basic driving force of industry. Controlling electricity is equivalent to controlling American industry. And Kenneth Ray’s Enron company seems to be the right key for the Gorky Group to open up the American market.
Sergei Shah now controls a large amount of natural gas resources, not only in the Soviet Union, but also in the United States. After all, Occidental Petroleum is the top ten oil industry group in the United States. Just after the death of Comrade Hamer last year, the entire Occidental Petroleum Company has completely become an enterprise fully controlled by the Gorky Financial Group. With the help of the hard work of Comrade Hamer, Sergey Shah not only owns a large number of oil and natural gas fields, but also has a mature petrochemical and chemical industry chain. In addition, Occidental Petroleum is also the largest beef cattle producer in the United States. Let Seriosha suddenly become the largest rancher in the United States.
It now seems that the combination of Occidental Petroleum’s natural gas fields in North America and Enron Group will start a clean energy revolution in the US electricity market. This is a rare opportunity for Sergei Sha to control the U.S. electricity market. Sergei can completely manipulate all of this by hiding behind the scenes quietly. He can donate to those environmental protection groups and let them protest against those power plants that still refuse to transform and continue to use coal. Do not underestimate the power of these civil organizations. They represent votes in the United States, and votes are the lifeblood of politicians. These private environmental groups can drive politicians to pass relevant environmental protection bills. Forcing these coal-fired power plants to switch to natural gas is absolutely beneficial to Enron Group.
After figuring out these truths~www.mtlnovel.com~Sergey Shah asked Kalim in the United States and Europe to check if there are any suitable environmental groups. Sergei Shah can support these groups through funding. Kalim has been very proficient in using politics to achieve his business goals. Sergei Sha thinks this may be inherited from the character of Kalim’s politician dad Amin. Since Griffith was successfully elected governor of South Dakota, Kalim has applied the model of fostering political agents in North Dakota, Iowa, and Alabama. Kalim obtains agents by looking for potential politicians to provide them with campaign funds, and when these politicians are elected, they naturally have to reciprocate Kalim’s companies. In this way, Monsanto’s seed products have successfully occupied the seed market in the above-mentioned states.
However, it is not enough just to achieve this level. Sergei also has McDonald’s, the largest restaurant chain in the United States. You must know that McDonald’s is the world’s largest purchaser of ground beef, tomatoes, cabbage and other agricultural products. In order to ensure that the tastes of each of its restaurants are basically the same, McDonald’s has strict restrictions on suppliers. They can be refined to the specific details of the beef cattle breeding environment, feed and so on. If you don’t raise beef cattle in accordance with McDonald’s requirements, you cannot become a supplier of McDonald’s. However, McDonald’s requires sufficient corn and soybeans as raw materials in the feed. This is actually expanding the market for Monsanto. After all, there is no corn or soybean production cost lower than Monsanto’s genetically modified seeds. With this series of related businesses, Kalim is in the so-called free American agricultural market. , Completed the actual monopoly.
