During this time, Yuri and Ivankov tried their best to free up the funds they had to support Mikhail in Tokyo.
However, because Yuri and Ivankov have businesses in the hotel and gaming industries, which require huge cash flow.
So they can't come up with much money in a hurry.
Yuri and Ivankov are likewise unable to obtain financing from financial institutions such as banks.
Because whether it is a chain hotel, or a casino and a betting shop, the accounts are inextricably linked to the gang.
These accounts must never be seen by the people of the bank.
So Yuri hit the idea on the head of the Colombian drug dealers.
Yuri didn't dare to embezzle Escobar's or Orejuella's money without saying a word.
He must have said hello in advance.
Relatively speaking, Escobar trusted Yuri more and did not shirk the matter of borrowing money, but when he knew that Yuri wanted to borrow as much as 15 billion dollars, Escobar could no longer be calm.
"Yuri, what are you asking for so much money for?"
asked Escobar in surprise.
"This is Mr.
Nikolai's order, we just do it, but Mr.
Nikolai said, the money is not for use, and the interest rate is twenty percent a year," Yuri replied on the phone.
Escobar was hesitant, as Nikolai's people knew better how much money he had than he did, and that not long ago, Escobar had offered the government to pay off Colombia's foreign debt, and Escobar had offered between 100 and 14 billion.
Whether Escobar can come up with the money Nikolai is clear.
"Yuri, you're embarrassing me," Escobar said in a bad tone.
"Friend, if you don't feel at ease, I can mortgage my hotel and casino to you, and we will borrow this money for half a year, and then pay it back with interest," Yuri continued.
As soon as he heard that Eureken had taken out his property as collateral, Escobar was much more relieved.
Escobar knew that Yuri was the owner of the ibis hotel chain, which owns budget hotels in large and medium-sized cities in Western Europe and North America, and most importantly, most of these hotels are owned by himself.
Coupled with the assets of the casino, 15 billion is definitely not a loss.
Considering that all the arms in his hands now come from Nikolai, Escobar is now relying on organizing his own armed forces to confront the government.
He couldn't pick such a time even if he did something that offended Nikolai, so he reluctantly agreed.
With Escobar's $15 billion in hand, the rest of the Cali Group will not be so difficult.
In the same way, Yuri pledged a portion of his American assets, raising another five billion dollars from the Cali Group.
Yuri sent the money again to Mikhail through the Bank of Colombia.
Now Mikhail has six billion dollars in money.
It was not only Yuri who raised funds for Mikhail, but also Yakov in Italy.
But they are also gangsters, and Italians are not as wealthy as Colombians.
Yakov did not have any industry of his own, and his only business was the Mediterranean Trading Company, which was affiliated with the Soviet government.
So Yakov can't borrow money by mortgage like Yuri, he can only go to apportionment.
It's a pity that Yakov's method did not allow these Italians to take out the real money.
Yakov worked hard for a long time and got hundreds of millions of dollars.
As the date approached, Eva and Karim also raised some funds to send to Japan, which added up to less than $60 billion.
Although it is said that this is a huge amount of money.
But Mikhail's opponents in Japan are old chaebols such as Mitsui, Mitsubishi, and Sumitomo.
This money alone is definitely not enough.
Seryosha has already secretly begun to go to the Foreign Trade Bank to embezzle foreign currency.
Although it is said to be the embezzlement of state money.
But Seryosha thinks he's doing the right thing.
This time, Seryosha planned to enrich his wealth and at the same time to obtain more foreign exchange for the Foreign Trade Bank, and at least to repay the part of the foreign debt owed to West Germany from the Brezhnev era.
The money was owed for the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
Before the war in Afghanistan, relations between the Soviet Union and Western Europe and the United States continued to détente.
The Soviets had hoped that the Olympics would give the world a new understanding of the Soviet Union.

The Olympics had borrowed nearly $10 billion from West Germany, but with the outbreak of war in Afghanistan in the last days of 1979, the Soviets lost that money.
This foreign debt of West Germany has been overdue for several years, and it has been weighing on the heads of the Soviet people with interest.
The price of natural gas delivered to West Germany by the Soviet Union's Soviet-European gas projects is now much lower than that of France and the United Kingdom, largely because of the interest on this debt.
Gorbachev inherited a country with a fairly large treasury, but its foreign exchange earnings have begun to decline.
The competitiveness of the Soviet Union's industrial products in the world continued to decline, while the countries of Eastern Europe continued to be in turmoil and economic difficulties, unable to provide the Soviet Union with a dumping ground for goods.
The situation will only get worse for the better.
Seryosha soon set up an office for the VTB in the City of London, and the head of this office was Seryosha's heart Nastya.
Seryosha arranged for her to leave Moscow for London to deal with preliminary work.
Because of the British government's thirst for money, the City of London has deregulated the financial industry.
As a result, Seryosha's funds could flow into the account of the London branch of the VTB without any scruples.
Not long after Nastya arrived in London, she soon took the initiative to visit Seryosha's old friends in England.
These ceremonial things were only to allow VTB to gain a foothold in the financial city.
Because of Seryosha's connections, the British bankers' union accepted the Soviet NatixtBank, a bank from the other side of the Iron Curtain.
Many British government officials still remember Gorbachev's visit last year, Gorbachev left an enlightened impression on the British government, and now Gorbachev is already the general secretary, and the cooperation between the Soviet Union and Britain is getting closer and closer, with the failure of the coal miners' strike, British society has finally returned to a state of order.
However, just when British friends were still fascinated by Seryosha's representative, Nastya, a signed article by Seryosha was published in The Economist magazine, which surprised the British financial circle. t1706231537:
