"Congressman McDonald, could I delay you a little longer, our Saskatchewan Wheat Consortium" "Minister Bradley, on the issue of grain exports to our country, I would like to communicate with you a little more" At the luncheon held by the Saskatchewan Wheat Joint Venture, Seryosha and Yakovlev were divided into two ways, Seryosha constantly lobbied various factions of Canadian politics through the political brokers hired by the Saskatchewan Wheat Joint Venture, in addition to the radical far-right faction of parliamentarians, Seryosha mainly contacted the political forces in Saskatchewan Province, the political forces representing the interests of farmers, and he also enlisted various stakeholders such as the Canadian Agricultural Association to block the Canadian government's ban on grain exports.
Yakovlev, on the other hand, kept visiting the contacts he had built up over the course of ten years in Canada.
They did this both for the USSR and for Gorbachev.
Just last night, Gorbachev had a telephone conversation with officials from Canada's agriculture department about continuing to implement the agricultural cooperation agreement.
The media, however, overwhelmingly reported on the Korean-Canadians who protested in front of the Soviet embassy.
Seryosha and Yakovlev could only save the situation secretly through private communication.
At present, Canada's political tendency is still biased towards sanctions against the Soviet Union, and Seryosha does not expect the Canadian government to abandon this plan, he only hopes that the Canadian government will exclude food.
"How's the situation on your side?"
Yakovlev asked Seryosha after the luncheon.
"Saskatchewan's parliamentarians and representatives of agricultural associations reluctantly agreed to be on our side, but they wouldn't speak for us, they just promised to vote yes on the issue," Seryosha replied.
"It's already good, I talked to the speaker of the Canadian parliament, and they agreed to separate the food and agriculture cooperation for hearings, and that's the only chance I can get," Yakovlev said with some frustration.
"In your experience, what are our odds of winning," Seryosha asked.
"What do the people of the Romanov trading company say" Yakovlev did not directly answer Seryosha's question, but asked him about the situation of the Romanov trading company.
"They told me that the Saskatchewan legislators should all support it, and that the others are not guaranteed.
When will the hearings take place, how much time we have left, and what more can we do," Seryosha asked.
"Don't try to use the domestic way to deal with them, not only is it easy to be self-defeating, but once it is discovered, it may bring us more trouble," Yakovlev thought that Seryosha was using his brain, and hurriedly persuaded him.
"I just want to know what else we can do," Seryosha explained to Yakovlev.
"You consult with the people of the Romanov trading company, but if it doesn't work, we will change the place of the transaction to a neutral country, or a Warsaw Pact country that is not subject to sanctions," Yakovlev suggested to Seryosha, who did not think about this.
It's just that Seryosha wants to set up a location in Turkey, and then transport goods to Rostov through his relationship with the Turkish mafia, so that his home base Gorky will become the center of the Soviet Union's domestic grain turnover.
But since Turkey was a NATO country and had frequent frictions with the Soviet Union, Seryosha feared that the Soviet government would not agree.
"But how can these countries still engage in entrepot trade with us in the face of pressure from the United States?"
Seryosha asked worriedly.
"You forget that we still have oil, and unless they no longer need our oil, it will be impossible to impose a complete trade blockade on us, and your Moscow trading company will have to prepare in advance, and the state may allow you to expand your business to other countries and become a multinational company," Yakovlev replied.
Seryosha was overjoyed when he heard this, and let the Moscow Trading Company become a multinational trading company, doing spot trading in foreign markets.
And there is also the Soviet Union's national oil weapons to endorse himself, will this kind of good thing easily fall on his head Seryosha can't imagine it, could it be that Yakovlev has already communicated with Gorbachev about this issue In order to figure it out, Seryosha hurriedly asked Yakovlev for advice: "Director, is this matter your opinion, or is it Secretary Ge's meaning?"
"This is the option that Secretary Ge agreed, Romanov is one of the few companies that can meet our grain import needs, this kind of company is unattainable for us, if you can help us solve more food shortages, if you become a multinational trading company, why restrict you," Yakovlev asked rhetorically.
"Then what do you mean" Seryosha asked, he can't wait to return to China now, the matter here has nothing to do with him, even if the Canadian government sanctions, Seryosha can let the branches of the Moscow Trading Company open all over the world, and the Canadian government can't trace where the grain he imports comes from.
"Let's hurry back to China, we can't control the affairs here in Seryosha, it's better to go back to Moscow and work hard" Yakovlev seemed to come with Secretary Go's instructions.
After saying goodbye to Yakovlev, Seryosha first made a phone call to Mikhail in the country, asking him to prepare for the opening of a branch of the Moscow Trading Company abroad, and then rushed home and told Karim the news.
Karim was also very happy to hear the news, but Eva was a little reluctant to leave Seryosha early.
"Don't be sad, Eva, this is a good thing, if the business scope of the Moscow Trading Company expands abroad, then I can go abroad often, wouldn't it be more convenient for us to meet," Seryosha persuaded.
Hearing Seryosha say this, Eva immediately understood that this parting would allow everyone to stay together often in the future, which was indeed great news.
"I'm going to Switzerland to help us find a place to live, and we're going to live in Switzerland forever, and I'm going to laugh out loud just thinking about it," Karim said excitedly.
"Seryosha, do I still need to go to Poland?"
asked Tonya.
"Maybe it's better for our air cargo company to be in Switzerland, so that I can see all of you more easily, anyway, I'll go back to China first, and you guys will continue to take care of Monsanto and other things here, and when everything is arranged, you will all go to Switzerland, and I will come to you," Seryosha instructed them. t1706231537:
