Chapter 245: The economy is improving


After the Malta summit, the Soviet Union and the United States reached a new cooperation agreement, in exchange for relinquishing most of the Soviet Union's power in Eastern European countries and reducing the forces and strategic weapons deployed on the Western Front.

At Seryosha's insistence, the American side agreed to the assistance requested by the Soviet Union for the step-by-step withdrawal of troops, as well as the corresponding financial assistance after the Soviet Union completed the withdrawal.

This was great news for Gorbachev, because when the Soviet Union's large foreign debt matured next year, the Soviet Union could make up for the shortfall with new loans from the United States and reparations for the withdrawal of troops.

However, the biggest benefit is not that it has direct access to funds, but that the Soviet Union can finally import much-needed supplies such as grain, meat and other materials from the United States.

The day after the Malta agreement was signed, a number of companies under the Gorky consortium began to enter the Soviet market.

Iridium entered the Leningrad Special Economic Zone with the world's most advanced satellite telephone system, and Bank of Colombia announced the launch of financial operations in the Soviet Union.

Glencore Group has reached a strategic cooperative relationship with the Soviet Union's natural gas and the Soviet Union's aluminum industry.

In the last month of 1989, the Mediterranean Trading Company imported large quantities of food, alcohol, and meat from the United States and put them on the supply market for the Soviet New Year, greatly alleviating the supply gap in the Soviet Union for many years.

This has led many people to rekindle hope for their future lives.

Under Seryosha's many years of careful care, Glencore has become a resource trading platform, and his business has covered most of the world's commodity varieties, from coffee, soybeans, sugar, Indian tea, to North America and Australia's grain, as well as oil spots, minerals and other resources worldwide, Glencore is one of the top competitors in these fields.

After years of operation, Glencore has become the world's largest grain trader, electrolytic aluminum trader, spot oil trader, and is also the largest buyer of coffee, soybeans and sugar in South America, and is also the largest buyer of gold in South Africa.

Most of Glencore's customers are blockaded or foreign exchange-starved countries, so Glencore's barter trade provides a new option for these countries that lack foreign exchange for the goods they need.

Over the years, as Glencore's trading volume has grown, Seryosha has been looking for new markets for Glencore's resource products, from Japan to the United States, Seryosha has been trying his best to buy profitable industrial companies to consume Canon's resources.

Seryosha's second SEZ is planned in Komsomolsk, because of its proximity to the Far East, which can radiate to the whole of East Asia and even allow direct exports to Canada and North America.

The market there is huge and the potential is endless, and Seryosha has planned a large area of land in Komsomolsk for the construction of new petrochemical projects, as well as new gas pipelines and oil pipelines.

Seryosha's large-scale investments greatly alleviated the severe unemployment situation in the Soviet Union, as a large number of downstream enterprises regained orders due to the start of the gas pipeline project, and a large number of unemployed young people were re-drafted to participate in the gas pipeline project that crossed the eastern and western routes of the Soviet Union.

In order to prevent his own efforts from being stolen by others after the disintegration, and the Soviet government really had no money, Seryo started these projects with all foreign funds, and after the wave of withdrawal of funds from the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, the funds earned from the Japanese market became the main source of development funds for large-scale construction in the Soviet Union.

The sudden increase in construction projects has made the already abundant Soviet labor market a little tighter, and Seryosha's attitude towards the withdrawal has now changed from worry to anticipation, and he hopes that the troops stationed in Germany will return to China sooner so that his gas pipeline project can have more people.

Japan and South Korea were overjoyed to hear that the Soviet Union was going to build petrochemical and natural gas projects to the Far East, and they even offered to provide the Soviet Union with funds to jointly build this huge project.

However, Seryosha did not want them to interfere in his own projects, and he only allowed the two countries to provide loans to the Komsomolsk Special Economic Zone, and in the future, when the project was put into operation, he would use the products to repay the loans.

In the face of the harsh conditions put forward by Seryosha, Japan and South Korea were afraid that there would be no such store in this village, so they finally agreed without hesitation.

Seryosha is keen to export gas and oil to China, but the Chinese market is still in its infancy, and China is still an oil exporter.

It will probably be a few more years before China becomes a buyer.

But Seryosha knows that the current turmoil in Japan's financial markets will provide a great opportunity for China, which will have to move a lot of manufacturing companies overseas in the future because of the collapse of Japan's financial and credit systems, in which case China will be the biggest beneficiary.

Seryosha's large-scale investment made many old subordinates of the Gorky consortium indirectly stain a lot of light, and Hassan made a lot of money from Seryosha's next orders for board construction, which made Hassan make a lot of money.

However, due to the fact that there are too many orders, now those old subordinates who have followed Seryosha for many years have also devoted themselves to the production of board houses.

There is really no almost content in the board room, so the low-entry industry is most suitable for Seryosha's old subordinates.

Although the current situation seems to be very good, the separatist tendencies of the three Baltic states still cause Seryosha to be a little worried.

Seryosha feared that things in Georgia would recur in the Baltic states.

For Seryosha, the three Baltic states were not so important, he neither invested in these regions, nor did he install his own forces in them.

But if the Soviet Red Army once again carried out armed suppression of the three Baltic states, then I am afraid it will cause another panic in the whole of Europe.

Seryosha has now determined his position on the three Baltic states, that is, the Soviet Red Army must not be allowed to suppress them by force, and even if these three countries are really independent, there is nothing remarkable about it.

The current Soviet Union is not suitable for waving its fists, and it should repent, bury its head in developing its own economy, just like its southern neighbor has done all these years.

Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become kings. t1706231537:
