Ever since Seryosha invested in Blackstone, he has not interfered in the company's operations.
But every once in a while, Mikhail received reports from Peterson's company, which were not only an important channel for Seryosha to monitor Blackstone's operations, but also an opportunity for Seryosha to learn from Peterson's investment philosophy.
Seryosha's tenure as Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of the USSR was not short.
But because the Soviet Union was not a market economy after all, he had a lot to learn from veterans like Peterson, who had served as U.S.
Secretary of Commerce.
In addition, investment geniuses like Schwartzman were also studied by Seryosha.
Over the years, Seryosha has relied on the knowledge and the ability to foresee brought by his previous life, and has avoided crises again and again, thanks to his career as a junior officer in the border troops in his previous life.
At that time, Seryosha's only access to outside knowledge, apart from books and newspapers, was news broadcasts.
Thanks to Seryosha's good memory, many things have an impression in his mind.
In this report just sent by the Blackstone Group, Seryosha saw a name that made some impression on him.
This company is one of the investment targets that Peterson highly recommends in the report.
However, Seryosha had the impression that the company's share price would fall from $90 to 60 cents after 2,000 years due to financial fraud, and finally go bankrupt.
At that time, Enron was a super-large company that could compete with energy giants such as ExxonMobil and BP.
However, Enron does not have the scale of the future, and it is just an energy company of decent size, and Enron's current business is mainly involved in the natural gas and power industries.
It has several coal-fired power plants and 37,000 kilometers of natural gas pipelines in the United States.
However, their owner and founder, Kenneth Ray, is not happy with the current business, and he has bigger ambitions.
Kenneth Reey is actively seeking investors on Wall Street, and he has a brilliant idea to make money by converting his coal-fired power plants into natural gas plants, while looking for cheap natural gas to meet the needs of these plants on the global market.
In Lei's view, the price of natural gas is now significantly lower than that of coal, and natural gas is a clean energy source, which basically does not cause any pollution to the environment.
Ray believes that natural gas represents the future of the U.S. power industry.
However, renovating power plants, expanding natural gas pipelines, and finding natural gas resources all require a lot of money, and there are very few power plants in the United States that use natural gas as an energy source.
The reason for this is that the transformation of power plants requires a lot of money.
Many people are reluctant to take on heavy debt or dilute their shares.
Still, Peterson saw the bright spot in Kennethray's business plan, and he not only got Blackstone to invest in Enron Energy, but also invited Bank of Colombia to fund Kenneth Ray's plan.
Now even Seryosha is starting to pay attention to the investment.
Seryosha's Gorky companies now have four companies involved in the gas industry: Mediterranean Trading Company, Glencore Group, and Occidental Petroleum Corporation, which has just acquired a controlling stake, in addition to British Gas, which is wholly owned by Seryosha, which also has a partial interest in the pan-European gas pipeline.
It can be said that Seryosha has cheap natural gas on hand to meet the needs of Enron.
Seryosha considered for only 30 seconds before agreeing to Peterson's recommendation in the report, telling Blackstone through Mikhail that it was okay to invest, but it was necessary to take a controlling stake.
After a difficult decision, Kenneth Ray finally agreed to Bank of Colombia's request to take control of Anran Group.
There is no way, now that the economy in the United States is in recession, the industrial capitalists cannot say no to the financial capitalists, even if the conditions are more harsh, Kenneth Ray can only agree without any choice.
Thus, after a series of market maneuvers, the Gorky Brotherhood once again took control of a future energy giant.
More importantly, however, Seryosha gained access to the U.S. power generation industry and also owned 37,000 kilometers of natural gas pipelines in the United States.
The investment in Enron opened a whole new window for Seryosha, who had finally been able to use his role in Europe's natural gas industry.
Seryosha once wanted to control the UK's electricity market, but now it seems that the US electricity market is more attractive.
Most of Enron's assets are now located on the East Coast, where the United States was first developed.
It has a mature market and is a major consumer of electricity in the United States.
The eastern states of the United States are generally affluent and have a huge demand for clean energy.
It can find a market for the large amount of natural gas in the hands of the Glencore Group, which will have a huge boost to the entire Gorky brothers.
Seryosha was sitting at his villa in the village of Gork at this moment, monitoring his business in the Americas, while at the same time he was concerned about the turmoil in Georgian officialdom.
Seryosha does not plan to return to Moscow during this time, the contradiction between Shevardnadze and Ligachev is becoming more and more intense, which makes Moscow's officialdom very dangerous, it is wise to avoid the edge, besides, Seryosha has had the opportunity to move to the village of Gork to live, so he naturally has to relax.
The reason why Seryosha loved the villa in the village of Gork so much was because there was a symbolic meaning to living in the village of Gork.
This is where Lenin lived in his later years with his wife Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya, and after his death Lenin left a political will that was extremely ill-intentioned towards Stalin, recommending that the Central Committee of the CPSU remove Stalin from all posts.
This order is said to have originated from the pillow wind that Krupskaya blew on Lenin, and Krupskaya told Lenin that Stalin lacked respect for herself, which made Lenin have a lot of opinions about Stalin.
Less than a year after Lenin's death, Krupskaya was driven out of the village of Gork.
And the village of Gork has become a sacred place of recuperation for the highest political echelons of the Soviet Union.
Being able to live in the village of Gork represents a kind of status and strength, although Seryosha has the lowest rank among the residents of Gork Village, but his villa is second only to the rank of a member of the Politburo in Gork Village.

Father Petrov now stays in the village of Gork every day and is reluctant to go out, he said that he is the only citizen who has lived in both the Gulag and the village of Gork since the founding of the Soviet Union, and if he has the opportunity to sleep in the Kremlin for one night, he will have no regrets in his life. t1706231537:
