Gorbachev and Thatcher had a closed-door meeting that was not closed.
Since the British side said that the prime minister would fly to Beijing to negotiate the Hong Kong issue with the Chinese side, there was only one meeting between the two men.
The main topic of the meeting between Gorbachev and Margaret Thatcher was personally handled by Yakovlev and Seryosha.
These issues are all related to economics and trade.
Prime Minister Thatcher walked out of the room smiling and shaking his head, as if something interesting had happened.
Seeing this, his courtier asked curiously, "Madam, it seems that you have a very pleasant conversation."
"I just think he and I are both Milton Friedman, a member of the Chicago School of Economics, a believer in the 1976 Nobel Prize in Economics on economic issues, and if he didn't speak Russian, I would really think I was talking to our allies about economic issues, and he was really an outlier among Soviet leaders," Prime Minister Thatcher said half-jokingly.
Not surprisingly, Yakovlev, a good friend of the Canadian prime minister, was also in Gorbachev's entourage, and Yakovlev had studied at Columbia University.
And the chief trade representative sent by Gorbachev to Britain is in a heated fight with our bankers, who are discussing the issue of capital circulation all day long," Prime Minister Thatcher's chief of staff knew something inside, and he told the prime minister.
"Well, gentlemen, in any case, the Soviet Union has finally come up with a leader who can talk to us about economics and trade, not medium-range missiles, and that's a good thing, so if he asks anything during my absence, try to accommodate him as long as it doesn't go too far," Prime Minister Thatcher explained.
For his part, Gorbachev was also satisfied with the outcome of the talks, and after his return, he made a point of mentioning some interesting facts about the talks with his confidants.
Seryosha had no interest in it, as he had been interested in the City of London for some time.
Due to the current economic downturn in the UK, coupled with a serious fiscal deficit.
The Thatcher government is preparing to sell off the state-owned assets in the hands of Britain and the government in a big way, but this will not work, and foreign funds must take over these burdens in the hands of the British government.
If the British government wants money, it must create a suitable soil for foreign investment.
But now that the workers are still on strike, how dare foreign capital invest in Britain, so the Thatcher government is out of the way this time, and they are ready to give up all British control over foreign capital.
This is a major positive for Seryosha, because the British government will no longer impose strict restrictions on the inflow or outflow of foreign funds, and Seryosha can finally establish a financial center on the European continent that belongs to the Gorky Brotherhood.
Now Seryosha has two banks, one is the only Colombian bank in Colombia, and this bank is mainly engaged in the business of car loans in the USSR.
One of the other banks is the Moscow-based National Housing Bank, which helps to finance the workers' new city.
Now for Seryosha, the Bank of Colombia is somewhat useful.
And the National Housing Bank is about to become a chicken rib, because of the emergence of Yeltsin, if Seryosha holds the National Housing Bank in his hands again, he will help Yeltsin to finance.
This kind of thing cannot bring any value to Seryosha at all, except for political interests.
Now Seryosha is raising money for his own Japanese project, so as long as these miscellaneous businesses in his hands are not the main business, Seryosha is ready to take off his gloves.
Due to the large assets of the Moscow Workers' City, the handover to the Central Bank of the USSR was not easy.
Yeltsin, the person in charge of this project, cannot come to Moscow to work in the short term, because Yeltsin's rank is too high, and the top leaders of the local government must go through the personnel procedures of the Politburo and the approval of the general secretary to come to the central government.
However, General Secretary Chernenko, who is now ill, has no intention of doing this, so it has been put on hold for the time being.
Since the Minister of Construction of the USSR had just passed away, the Ministry of Construction was now in a situation of being leaderless.
Seryosha wanted to hand over the project to the Ministry of Construction first, so that Seryosha could get the money he wanted from the Central Bank.
As it turned out, there was really the best time to make such a request at a time when Gorbachev was now heavily dependent on Seryosha.
Gorbachev agreed without even thinking about it.
Seryosha then mentioned another problem, that is, the matter of the Mediterranean Trading Company.
When the Mediterranean Trading Company was founded, Seryosha mainly imported daily necessities for the residents of the new workers' city.
Later, however, the Mediterranean Trading Company gradually evolved into one of the important export enterprises of the Soviet Union.
However, in order to ensure the smooth foreign trade channels of the Soviet Union, this company used the form of joint ventures abroad to cover up its Soviet background.
The company was a collective enterprise in the USSR and a private enterprise abroad.
Originally, behind this company was the National Housing Bank, but Seryosha did not want to abandon the Mediterranean Trading Company if he abandoned the National Housing Bank, so Seryosha's other suggestion was to separate the foreign trade business of the National Housing Bank and hand it over to the Foreign Trade Bank under the control of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.
The Mediterranean Trading Company was now the main grain importer of the Soviet Union and was an important guarantee for Gorbachev's agricultural achievements.
Naturally, Gorbachev was not going to let Seryosha give up control of the enterprise.
Thus, Seryosha was able to take advantage of the integration of the Mediterranean Trading Company by the Foreign Trade Bank to put his hand into the territory of the Minister Zhuravlev.
This strategy was conceived by Seryosha during his time in England, and Seryosha waited for Gorbachev to try to convince him when he came to England.
However, this is a big plan, and it is not appropriate for Seryosha to say it later, and it is better to let Yakovlev go through the air first.
Margaret Thatcher left London the day after her meeting with Gorbachev and flew to Beijing.
Gorbachev chose to attend the commemoration of Marx's tomb the next day.
Seryosha contacted his golfer, Prime Minister Thatcher's husband, Dennis, by phone that evening and asked if he could arrange for Gorbachev to visit 10 Downing Street.
Denis replied: "Seryosha, of course, I welcome the guests of the Soviet Union, but I have to ask the opinion of the Cabinet on this matter.
