Chapter 505

Since the signing of the Plaza Accord on September 22, under the joint control of the Japanese and American governments, the yen has soared from 250 to 200 in just three months. In dollar terms, Mikhail's Japanese yen earnings were as high as 25% during this period. But this is only the most basic rate of return. Because Mikhail didn't let his yen lie down, he took a big position in the Nikkei index and invested heavily in Japanese real estate projects. Under the background of the world's capital pouring into Japan, Japan's property market and stock market continue to soar like a rocket.

This is the best time for Japanese entrepreneurs, especially real estate companies and companies that intend to invest overseas. They can get loans from banks with very low interest rates, and then invest in real estate and overseas assets. As a leader in Japanese real estate and hotel industry, Xiwu group naturally needs to take advantage of this opportunity to expand overseas. Under Mikhail's insinuation, di Yiming had a strong interest in the Plaza Hotel, the Pearl of New York Hotel Industry and the place where the Plaza Agreement was signed. Since the Plaza Agreement, the strength of the Japanese yen against the US dollar has won the respect of the whole world. For this reason, the Plaza Hotel has a different status and significance in the hearts of the Japanese.

It is no longer useful for the Plaza Hotel to stay in the hands of the Gorky brotherhood. It would be better to become a man of beauty and earn a good price from the Japanese with the help of this strong wind. When Yuri, the owner of the hotel, a gambling and hotel tycoon, more than doubled the purchase price and offered a billion dollars for sale to Xiwu group, American businessmen were shocked by the Japanese's wealth.

"Mr. Di Yiming, your offer is not only to buy an excellent property in New York, but also to have a feeling in it. I believe the Plaza Hotel is just the first step for you to step into the commercial territory of the real estate industry in the United States!" Yuri complimented happily when signing the contract. He really felt that di Yiming was a hero in his heart. But the sentiment still made him very happy. He raised his glass and replied in Japanese English: "money is meaningless to me. In my eyes, Plaza Hotel is the art of the hotel industry. It's worth the price!"

The signing ceremony brought together the two brothers who haven't seen each other for a long time. Yuri and Mikhail are now the most important agents of seryosha in Asia and America. Yuri's huge gambling company and hotel chain are important tools for Gorky group to launder money, Mikhail's financial companies, on the other hand, have made incalculable wealth for the Gorky brothers. The two brothers are now the printing machines of the Gorky brotherhood.

"Are you going to buy skyscrapers in New York like these Japanese when you come to America this time?" Yuri pulled Mikhail and asked with concern.

"No, shagliaosha has a new plan. It's not safe for us to invest in the United States. Don't forget that all our customers are enemies of the U.S. government! Moreover, the purchase of huge assets in the United States is not only subject to huge taxes, but also subject to strict supervision. What he means is that we can set up in England! " Mikhail replied to his brother.

Yuri knows something about Britain and Europe. His business in continental Europe includes Ibis and William Hill. Although it seems that they are all small businesses, the capital turnover is very fast. This kind of business is designed for money laundering. Not only the cost is low, but also it is very hidden and safe. Now the assets of European customers are transferred to the United States through these two industries. But he was not very clear about seryosha's British plan, so he asked curiously, "is there any way for seryosha to make money?"

"Of course, now that the British coal strike is over, Prime Minister Thatcher has won the final victory! Xie liaosha thinks that this woman should continue to sell those state-owned companies in Britain! Electricity, communications, water supply and natural gas will be put on the shelves one after another for people to choose from. Xie liaosha thinks that this is a good business that can make a steady profit without losing money. As long as people live, they have to use these things. If they lack one thing, people's life will go wrong! " Mikhail explained to Yuri.

"How dare he think that he wants to be an Englishman's landlord?" Yuri joked. His metaphor is very appropriate. Water, electricity, natural gas and communication are necessities for the British people. The income of this livelihood industry is as stable as rent.

"By the way, why don't you see Ivankov? I always hear you talk about him, and I want to see him? " Mikhail asked suddenly.

"He! I'm on holiday with this year's Miss Ohio on a small island in the Caribbean! I can't get him back! " Yuri said jokingly.

As Yuri said, Ivankov is not in the United States, but enjoying his life on the Caribbean island. He had no idea that a catastrophe would fall on him. Ivankov is now known as the head of security at the Taj Mahal casino, but he actually controls an underground force belonging to the Gorky brotherhood. With the support of Yuri's large sum of money, Ivankov registered a private security company in Panama and bought several uninhabited islands in the Caribbean to set up a secret training base. Many of the fellow townspeople recruited from Brighton Beach are here for military training. In addition, Ivankov also employed a group of experienced mercenaries like Ben Ali for a long time. Ivankov's 500 man army is comparable to a real army, because many of its members have participated in the war in Afghanistan. This army was built entirely with money, and Ivankov's purpose of maintaining this army was to prevent it from being hacked by escoval or Kali groups.

Now the Gorky Brotherhood has been officially involved in the arms trade, and Ivankov's army no longer has to worry about the supply of weapons and ammunition. All the mercenaries used were Soviet made weapons, including conventional rockets, grenades, firearms, as well as some unconventional air defense weapons, individual missiles, and even armed helicopters and radars produced by the Soviet Union. The whole island was armed to the teeth.

Ivankov's way of controlling these people is very simple, rich salary and American green card. These two simple things made the mercenaries sell themselves to Ivankov.
