Seryosha, who returned to the USSR, immediately got busy, something he had absolutely not expected before leaving the country.
The first thing was the opening of an overseas branch of the Moscow Trading Company.
In the presence of several leaders, including Gorbachev, Seryosha expounded the Canadian government's attitude on this matter, pointing out that if it only relies on imports from Canada, it is easy to be subject to sanctions, so in addition to increasing domestic grain production, it is also necessary to actively expand new import channels overseas.
Seryosha's remarks were mainly intended to pave the way for Moscow's overseas expansion plans, because everyone here knows that there are four main countries in the world that can control other countries through food: the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
These countries have a strong food production capacity and do not consume much food themselves, so they can rely on their ability to manipulate food to achieve certain political goals, which is known internationally as food power.
The similarities between the status of the above four countries in the field of food and the discourse power of Saudi Arabia and other countries in terms of oil are not alarmist, and many African countries have suffered from food blackmail from these countries.
They can use their market position to control international food prices, impose food embargoes or export food on political terms to achieve their own ends.
In fact, Seryosha is clear to everyone, the so-called overseas branches are measures taken to break the grain blockade of these countries, and in an emergency, Seryosha can even smuggle grain into the Soviet Union through these branches with the tacit consent of the government.
That is, the official can acquiesce in Seryosha's smuggling of grain from abroad to his homeland.
Originally, these good things could not have fallen on Seryosha's head, but a missile in the Far East completely changed everything, and trade sanctions were inevitable.
Now, in response to the trade blockade of Soviet grain and imports of major agricultural products, the Soviet Union has officially reduced the tax rate on agricultural imports to close to zero, but the volume of grain imports in the Soviet Union has continued to decline.
Seryosha shoulders the responsibility of saving the country's food security to a certain extent.
After the meeting was dismissed, Gorbachev summoned Seryosha to his office and made it clear that he must guarantee the monthly import of one million tons of wheat into the country, as well as a number of other agricultural products.
Seryosha understands that Lao Ge is pressing the treasure on himself.
If he can't handle this matter, Lao Ge will not be able to mix up here at all, not only will Lao Ge's prestige be ruined, but he will also lose all his future, this time Seryosha will definitely do his best to hold on to the import of grain.
After leaving the Supreme Soviet, Seryosha went back to the Youth League Committee to discuss with Mikhail about the Moscow Trading Company, and Seryosha planned to change the name of the Moscow Trading Company, at least not to know that it was a Soviet company as soon as he heard it, because such a name could easily attract the attention of others abroad.
So the first thing to do was to give Moscow Trading a new name, Seryosha expected that his first branches and offices would be mainly opened in Italy, Turkey and other places, so he eventually named it Mediterranean Trading Company.
After consultations with Mikhail, it was decided to devote the main focus to two branches in Italy and Poland, as well as to open offices in Switzerland, Turkey, etc.
After Seryosha and Mikhail had decided on all the major events, Seryosha explained that Mikhail would negotiate with the Soviet Civil Aviation Company to lease five Tu144Ds of the Soviet Civil Aviation Company to open a cargo company in Poland, and also discuss with the Tu144D production line in Voronezh the maintenance of these five aircraft and the training of pilots.
Seryosha gave Mikhail a bunch of work at once, except for one thing, one small thing.
This matter is about William Hill, and with the help of Rothschild Bank, Yuri successfully won William Hill.
Now, William Hill's two major businesses, hotel chains and sports betting betting, will be spun off into two companies.
There is nothing wrong with the hotel chain, and Yuri will naturally deal with this matter.
However, William Hill's gambling business is a bit troublesome, and the company operates sports events, including the Premier League, League One, FA Cup, as well as tennis, horse racing, greyhound racing and many other events.
However, there is one thing that needs to be done before all events can start accepting bets, and that is to calculate the odds for the event.
This kind of thing is not an easy job, you must know that the reason why William Hill faced a shortage of funds in the past is related to their large odds error, resulting in poor management of the gambling business.
Therefore, the calculation of odds has become the key point of the company's operation.
Seryosha happened to know the most suitable person, and that was Grigory.
Grigory's talent for gambling is unquestionable, so Seryosha is going to Leningrad to ask Grigory what he means to see if he is interested in taking charge of the newly acquired bookmaker.
The next day after Seryosha arrived in Leningrad, he made an appointment with Grigory to go fishing in the suburbs.
He asked his guards in Leningrad to help him find a small yacht, then sent someone to pick Grigory on board, and the two sailed down the Neva River to the Baltic Sea.
The two set up fishing rods on the side of the boat, drank beer and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the sea, quietly waiting for the fish to bite the hook.
Seryosha and Grigory chatted and explained the ins and outs of the matter, and Grigory was very interested when he heard it.
It's just a lot of fun to predict the outcome of a sporting event.
"But Seryosha, I can't do this alone, it involves statistics, probability theory, and even non-Euclidean geometry, I'm afraid I'll have to find a lot of people to work together," Grigory thought for a moment and told Seryosha all the difficulties he had in mind.
"It's okay, do you remember that our Moscow Youth League Committee has a youth science and technology center, we can pay your friends, don't worry, money is not a problem, even if you want a mainframe computer, I can get it for you," Seryosha patted his chest and promised.
"That's really good, many of my classmates and even teachers have a tight life, who is not happy to earn extra money," Grigory said excitedly, this kind of good thing is simply to kill multiple birds with one stone, can make everyone have more income, can also apply mathematical knowledge to practice, and can also watch foreign competitions, this is the most ideal part-time job for mathematicians.
"I'm going to set up a small company for this project, under the name of the Moscow Youth League Committee, how about you say that our company is called Haoyun 365," Seryosha asked Grigory for advice. t1706231537:
