Chapter 377

After returning to Moscow, he only slightly inquired about the songtsevo brotherhood. Now he doesn't want to continue to directly intervene in the fight between gangs, because there are too many opportunities in front of Xie liaosha. Since Xie liaosha has the strength to seize these opportunities, why should he make great efforts to do those things?

But it's one thing that Xie liaosha doesn't want to do it. It's another thing for others to interfere in his business. Over the years, Xie liaosha has long understood a truth that gangs can never be completely wiped out. The fall of one gang will make the rise of another. When he left Golgi, his black market was occupied by those humble guys. Although it didn't take much effort to get it back later, the reputation and customer relationship that he had accumulated consumed a lot of energy. And his business partner, the Italian mafia! The same is true. Now they are no longer as brave as they were in New York, and the five families have become a thing of the past! Now the Carly group and Medellin group, which monopolize the production and distribution channels of D products, are the top gangs in the United States. Therefore, Xie liaosha will not give up his own territory and let the songcaiwo brotherhood become bigger and stronger.

At present, the top priority of shailyusha is the issue of agricultural reform in Ukraine. Now the bureaucracy in Central Asia has been cleaned up by the KGB, and a large number of ready-made posts have been vacant. And in the Kremlin, the struggle between the old subordinates of the general assembly and the newly rising KGB forces has intensified. Just before the new year's holiday on the 23rd of last month, Soviet ambassador to Cuba vorotnikov was transferred to the presidency of the Council of Ministers of the Russian Republic and joined the Politburo together with his predecessor, solomentsev. The struggle of the upper class became more intense. Although Xie liaosha did not know which faction would be the final winner of the struggle, he knew that it was right to hold Gorbachev's thigh tightly.

Since Gorbachev was eager to carry out the reform of agricultural production, seliosha put forward a bold plan to cater to Gorbachev's psychology. He has now overturned the original series of ideas in the city of dneprpetrovsk, how much natural gas a fertilizer plant can consume, and the soil in Ukraine is fertile, so the demand for fertilizer is not strong.

Xie liaosha finally decided to give the report to the agricultural economic experts within Glencore group to operate. Only in this way can the report be more professional and operational. Gorbachev is known as an agricultural economist in the Soviet Union. He believes that this report will attract Gorbachev and make up his mind to do it.

Finally, after half a month of sorting out, the report was finally submitted to the office of the Secretary of the Supreme Soviet Gorbachev. Gorbachev immediately summoned seryosha to discuss the report. Gorbachev's conclusion to shariosha is that the report is very good, with only one question: where does the money come from?

"Secretary! Glencore hopes to obtain the right of natural gas trade from Mediterranean trading company at a preferential price. They are willing to provide this part of the capital in the form of special trade! " Xie liaosha said in a low voice.

"You mean the gas pipeline trade between the Soviet Union and Europe, don't you?" Gorbachev nodded thoughtfully, while seryosha felt a little nervous. From January 1 this year, the Soviet Union began to provide stable natural gas supply to France. From this day on, Western Europe can no longer get rid of the energy shackles from the East. It's a good business with huge profits and stable profits. Relying on the natural gas trade contract, the Soviet Union can get about 10 billion US dollars of foreign exchange income every year. This is also the energy trade between countries. If it is the end price of energy consumption, I am afraid it will be even richer.

"What are their terms?" Gorbachev seems to be excited. For more than a year, the cooperation between Mediterranean trading company and Glencore has been very smooth. Gorbachev has the final say that the other side has been in great danger to provide stable food supplies to the Soviet Union. In fact, Li Qing feels that he should give him some return. Now the gas pipeline has been built. The annual gas supply is what the Soviet Union has said. The other party is interested. Gorbachev has no reason to oppose it.

"Glencore is willing to pay the same price as the French government. As you know, we need a lot of funds to support the agricultural reform in Ukraine. Moreover, the reform may not be immediate and may bring about the pain of food supply. On the contrary, we are even more inseparable from Glencore's food trade!" Xie liaosha tried his best to persuade him that he was eager to win this big deal through Mediterranean trading company and Glencore company.

"Comrade ulyanov, I can't guarantee you that this will be a success, but I will still fight for the right to trade natural gas with the foreign trade department for you! Now the most urgent task is to solve the problem of domestic food supply. We can't always consume the precious foreign exchange of the country to buy food, and let these western countries hold us by the neck. I believe our country has the ability to achieve food self-sufficiency. Comrade ulyanov, you have always been very capable. I hope you can play a greater role in the position of the Ministry of agriculture! " Gorbachev said some words of encouragement, but he didn't promise anything to seryosha, which made seryosha feel a little disappointed.

After leaving the White House, shagliaosha immediately called Mark Ritchie to discuss the gas business. During this period, mark Ritchie used his contacts in the United States to successfully sell Soviet aluminum ingots to General Motors and Boeing, and found several long-term buyers for Glencore. However, these aluminum ingots need to be smelted and processed again in Italy to deceive the US government's trade sanctions act! With the stability of the aluminum business, mark Ritchie has shifted his focus to the UK, where he is planning a big business.

With his years of experience in mineral and energy spot trade, mark Ritchie is keen to discover the great opportunities in the UK. Recently, the negotiation between British coal miners and Margaret Thatcher's Government on closing coal mines has reached an impasse, which has led to the continuous rise of coal prices in the UK. At that time, the price of natural gas will certainly rise. More importantly, Margaret Thatcher is frantically selling British public utilities to reduce the government's fiscal deficit, This is a good opportunity to copy the bottom of these state-owned utility companies in the UK. Now the only uncertainty is whether Margaret Thatcher will compromise if the British coal miners go on strike. It is important to know that the 1974 strike directly drove the Heath government out of power, which is also the place where mark Ritchie has been hesitant.
