Chapter 286

In a quaint building by the lake of Zurich, Switzerland, an international trade firm named Romanov was quietly established here. In Zurich, an international financial city with every inch of land and money, there are UBS, Credit Suisse and many private banks. Many financial institutions have a history of nearly a hundred years. Among them, Romanov is obviously a small generation. However, this small generation is not very well behaved recently. He actually digs experienced traders from major commodity trading companies all over the world with double market salary and high commission higher than the industry average, In particular, the spot traders of wheat have made all the trading companies itch to hate this humble little company.

The company is Karim's new commodity trading company, and it's in places like Switzerland. That's because it's a permanent neutral country and can trade freely without interference. Karim has just acquired Saskatchewan wheat consortium, Canada's largest grain and oil company, which controls the acquisition, warehousing, processing, and marketing of most of the wheat in Saskatchewan, Canada's largest wheat growing area. At the same time, seryosa also set up a similar trading company in Moscow, and Romanov company is the most critical node.

The ultimate goal of seliosha was to sell Canadian wheat to the Soviet Union. However, this business, which was very common more than ten years later, seems like a fable now. First of all, Canada and the Soviet Union belong to different camps between the East and the west, and there are almost no international trade agreements between them. According to the current international trade rules, Canada and the Soviet Union have no way to carry out such a large-scale legal grain transaction. Even if they can, it will be operated by the state-owned foreign trade bank of the Soviet Union, and it will not be able to turn to seliosha. As for rezhkov's agreed foreign trade rights, they are very clear to each other that their business scope is limited to the Warsaw Pact countries, or non aligned countries such as Yugoslavia, or neutral countries such as Switzerland, and other countries such as India. As for the United States, even if you want to trade with others, they may not agree.

However, after a series of political problems in Poland, the trade barriers between the East and the West seem to have loosened. As the solidarity movement intensified in Poland, the United States, as well as many countries in Western Europe, began to bet on them. Xie liaosha once represented a donation from unknown sources to Solidarity Union. The change in the attitude of the Western camp gave him an opportunity to transport wheat to Poland without being obstructed by the Canadian government. Of course, this is not without risks. The Polish government may confiscate the flour as smuggled goods. However, if there is a Solidarity Union as an internal agent, then everything is not a problem.

Now the first ship of flour from Canada is at sea, and the negotiation between Yakov and Solidarity Union is coming to an end. It is impossible for the Solidarity Union to reject the plan proposed by Yakov, because the shortage economy in Poland is becoming more and more serious, and the government and the trade union are striving for more popular support. After all, the people will follow who can provide bread. So this batch of flour is more powerful than guns.

The final destination of Canadian flour is Gdansk port on the Baltic Sea in Poland. Gdansk was once a German city, formerly known as danze. Before World War II, it was a free city taken over by the League of nations, but now it is the most turbulent city for the Polish workers' movement, the headquarters of Solidarity trade union, and the second largest political storm center in Poland after Warsaw.

The flour was nominally sold to Romanov by the Saskatchewan wheat consortium. At the same time, a batch of cotton will be transported from Uzbekistan in the Soviet Union to Gdansk port, and this batch of goods will be exported to Poland through legal procedures by Moscow trading company of seliosha. Both batches of goods will be stored in the bonded area of the port, waiting for Romanov's next arrangement.

As a Swiss company, Romanov does not have to comply with the trade ban issued by NATO countries. The Moscow trading company will get the flour it needs, while the Romanov trading company will take the cotton. In the process, solidarity is responsible for the safety of the goods, and they will get part of the flour in return.

This process is completely a game between the companies controlled by Xie liaosha. All the members participating in this transaction can get what they want. He did not need to use a fraction of the Soviet Union's domestic foreign exchange, nor did he need to use his overseas deposits to fund the deal. The only capital flow occurred between the United States and Switzerland, but according to Swiss law, neither the Soviet Union nor the United States could trace detailed transaction records, and Switzerland did not prohibit trade with the Soviet Union.

In the process, the things that shagliaosha provides can be cotton, oil or whatever. Xie liaosha's domestic customers who need to launder money can also participate through various channels, such as some anonymous bonds issued by the National Housing Bank. It's more hidden than cash, and it has interest.

This set of well thought out plans was not created by seliosha alone, and Karim played a very important role in it. During this period, she wandered between the aristocracy and the top rich class in Western Europe, and learned something about business. In addition, she gained some domestic foreign trade knowledge from Sobchak, and finally determined this complex and huge plan.

The Moscow trading company was established in a hurry. Xie liaosha sent his secretary nasja to preside over the preparation and follow-up work of the company, while another member of his staff, Gao Manzhu, was sent to the national housing development company to be responsible for the construction of the project. Now his black business is more hidden. Unless the United States and the Soviet Union jointly investigate and Switzerland amend its own banking law, no one will want to hold on to him. At last, Xie liaosha can easily and confidently hand over his work to his subordinates, and he has the energy to think about what he is more interested in, that is, to explore more Soviet black technology to western countries, and use the huge scientific research strength of this country to grab more wealth.
