Chapter 427

Volga automobile factory, tauriati, Samara. After receiving the order form from Mediterranean trading company, the manager of the sales company almost jumped to the table.

The manager would never have thought that the number of LADA Vanni ordered by Mediterranean trading company in the next quarter would be as high as 10000. This is almost the annual production of Volga last year.

In fact, Mediterranean trading company did not expect that LADA Vanni's sales in Latin America would be so good. After all, Latin America has always been dominated by American cars. Only in recent years have European and Japanese car manufacturers come here to explore the market.

But LADA Vanni's success can't be attributed entirely to luck and drug lords. First of all, the poor road conditions in Latin America have made LADA Vani with excellent cross-country ability win a lot of markets. In addition, he is the only car of the same class equipped with air conditioning system. The maintenance cost is very low and the leather is durable. As for the only drawback, fuel consumption does not seem to pose any problem in countries such as Colombia and Venezuela.

LADA Vanni was originally a national car in the Soviet Union, so he still had a certain price advantage in Latin America, a country with low income. Xie liaosha now wants to use auto loans to digest the funds of Medellin group and Kali group locally, so as to minimize too many unnecessary links. With the help of Yuri, these drug lords set up a series of automobile trading companies in the Caymans to trade with Mediterranean trading company.

When the cars arrived in Colombia, they were, in principle, the property of a company in the Caymans near Jamaica and had nothing to do with the local drug lords. But all of LADA's sellers are being forced to use the Bank of Columbia's auto loan service. For a while, CBC's auto loan business began to flourish, and opened branches in Venezuela, Central American countries, and Mexico.

Now it seems that these drug lords in Colombia are fully responsible for most of the money laundering work. But they are not dissatisfied, because only the Mediterranean trading company and the Bank of Columbia in the world can handle such a large amount of money for them, and only they can let these drug lords with their heads pinned on their waistbands give away their money.

The development of Columbia bank has been limited because of its location. Now with the help of auto loan business, it has become the largest auto consumer bank in the Caribbean, thanks to the drug lords. However, just last month, the humble bank provided a loan of US $500 million to William Hill, a famous European gambling company, to help him collect the well-known hotel in New York, Plaza Hotel, which caused a strong discussion among his peers in Latin America. 500 million US dollars is not a small amount. This loan is even more than the foreign exchange reserves of some Central American countries. People are also talking behind their backs about who is the gold owner behind the Bank of Columbia?

Now that the Bank of Columbia has been privatized, it does not have to provide its property and financial status to anyone unless it is suspected of committing a crime. Xie liaosha retained the original management of the bank, but strengthened its auto loan business. He is not worried that the company's management will find that someone is using CBC to launder money. After all, the income and expenses of car loans come from real transactions.

The acquisition of Plaza Hotel made William Hill famous, because it is not only a hotel, it has become a historical witness of New York. The Hilton family would not have sold the hotel if it had not been for the purpose of raising money to buy the more famous Waldorf. In order to ensure that the service quality of the hotel will not have any problems, Yuri spent a lot of money to keep the original staff of the hotel, from the hotel management to the doorman and waiter. Yuri doesn't plan to integrate the hotel into his own Ibis chain, but plans to let him run it alone.

However, Yuri has already said hello to the hotel management. If any important guest will stay in the Plaza Hotel, be sure to inform him. Naturally, the employees have no objection to the requirements of the new boss. They don't know that the purchase of the hotel for $500 million is just to get the news of the signing of the Plaza Agreement in advance.

Due to the sudden increase in car orders, Boris, who temporarily took charge of the Mediterranean trading company for Mikhail, asked Xie liaosha whether to set up his own transport fleet, because he got a message from Yakov that there was a shipping company in the hands of the Italian Mafia that wanted to sell because the economic downturn was about to last, However, this shipping company used to launder money. There were too many secrets to tell. For a moment, the Mafia couldn't find anyone to take over. If Xie liaosha wants to buy flowers, it won't cost much.

Xie liaosha had asked dongnia to pay attention to whether there was a bankrupt shipping company for sale some time ago. However, we haven't found a suitable one all the time. Some of the reasons are that the main business is not in Europe, and some are because the scale is too small. Now that he has been informed by Boris, Xie liaosha naturally wants to seize the opportunity. This shipping company is not small in scale, and its headquarters is in Naples, which is just in line with the requirements of seliosa.

So Donia soon left Switzerland and went to Naples to inspect the shipping company. Because the other party was a Mafia, she was afraid that they would play tricks to conceal their assets, so she entrusted mark Ritchie to hire several reliable accountants from Switzerland to help Dounia assess the assets of mediterranean shipping company. These accountants are really powerful. The cars on the wharf and the ships in the harbor drive past them one by one. It was soon discovered that the Mafia had falsely reported the fixed assets of the shipping companies and the number of vehicles and ships.

Yakov severely warned these dishonest guys and gave a discount on the already cheap purchase price. With 2.1 billion U.S. dollars successfully won this shipping company with 40 large cargo ships.

At this time, dongnia finally owned a large enterprise, and it was also the most important transportation industry for the Gorky brothers. That night, dongnia talked with Xie liaosha excitedly on the phone for a long time. It also plans to integrate the current air cargo business.

The original business of mediterranean shipping was mainly the transportation of goods from the Mediterranean coast to Africa, with serious losses and debt problems. During the oil crisis in 1979, the company ordered several large oil tankers all at once because of the soaring oil price. Now, due to the lack of shipping, the company intends to break the contract and does not want to pay for the shipyard. However, with Xie liaosha's Soviet foreign trade orders, the shipping company would be hard to lose money in the future. Xie liaosha happily bought these tankers and continued to build them. At the same time, he also placed orders for new cargo ships with larger tonnage.
