Chapter 223 A Blessing in Misfortune

"Mr. MacDonald, could I take your time for a while, our Saskatchewan Wheat Consortium..."

"Minister Bradley, I would like to communicate with you again about the issue of grain exports to our country..."

...

At the lunch meeting held by the Saskatchewan Wheat Consortium, Sergey and Yakovlev split into two groups. Sergei continued to lobby Canada through the power brokers hired by the Saskatchewan Wheat Consortium. Various factions in the political arena, in addition to the radical far-right faction MPs, Seryozha mainly contacted the political forces in Saskatchewan, the political forces representing the interests of farmers, and he also wooed various stakeholders such as the Canadian Agricultural Association. Together with the parties to block the Canadian government's ban on food exports. Vertex novels are updated the fastest and Yakovlev keeps visiting the contacts he has accumulated in Canada over the past ten years. They did it both for the Soviet Union and for Gorbachev. Just last night, Gorbachev had a telephone conversation with officials from the Canadian agricultural sector about continuing to implement the agricultural cooperation agreement.

However, the media overwhelmingly reported on the Korean-Canadians protesting in front of the Soviet embassy. Sergesha and Yakovlev could only save the situation secretly through private communication. Now Canada's political tendency is still inclined to sanction the Soviet Union. Sergesha does not expect the Canadian government to give up this plan. He only hopes that the Canadian government can exclude food.

"How is the situation with you?" Yakovlev asked Seryozha after the lunch meeting.

"Saskatchewan MPs and representatives of the Agricultural Association reluctantly agreed to stand on our side, but they would not speak for us, they just agreed to vote in favor when voting on the issue!" Seryozha replied.

"It's already very good. I talked to the speaker of Canada. They agreed to hold a separate hearing on food and agriculture cooperation. This is the only chance I can get!" Yakovlev was a little frustrated Said.

"Based on your experience, what are our chances of winning?" Seryozha asked.

"What do the people from the Romanov Company say?" Yakovlev did not answer Seryozha's question directly, but asked him about the situation of the Romanov Company.

"They told me that all Saskatchewan legislators should support it, and there is no guarantee for others. When will the hearing be held, and how much time do we have left? What else can we do?" Sergey Sha asked road.

"Don't try to use domestic methods to deal with them. Not only is it easy to be self-defeating, but if someone finds out, it may bring us even greater trouble!" Yakovlev thought that Seryozha was moving With a twisted brain, he quickly persuaded.

"I just want to know what else we can do?" Seryozha explained to Yakovlev.

"You discuss it with the people from the Romanov Trading Company. If it doesn't work, we will change the transaction location to a neutral country, or a Warsaw Pact country that is not sanctioned!" Yakovlev suggested to Seryozha. It's not that I haven't thought about it. It’s just that Seresa wants to set the location in Turkey, and then transport the goods to Rostov through the relationship with the Turkish Mafia. In this way, his base camp Gorky will become the center of food turnover in the Soviet Union. But because Turkey is a NATO country and has frequent frictions with the Soviet Union, Sergesha worried that the Soviet government would not agree.

"However, in the face of pressure from the United States, how can these countries still conduct entrepot trade with us?" Sergey Sha asked worriedly.

"Did you forget? We still have oil. Unless they no longer need our oil, it is impossible to impose a complete trade blockade on us! Your Moscow trading company must be prepared in advance, and the country may let you take your business Expand to other countries and become a multinational!" Yakovlev replied.

Seryozha was overjoyed when he heard these words, and turned Moscow Trading Company into a multinational trading company, doing spot transactions in foreign markets. Moreover, the Soviet Union's national oil weapons endorsed itself,

Will such a good thing fall on his head easily? Seryozha couldn't imagine it. Could it be that Yakovlev had already communicated with Gorbachev on this issue? In order to find out, Seryozha hurriedly asked Yakovlev: "Director, is this your opinion on this matter, or Secretary Ge's meaning?"

"This is the alternative that Secretary Ge agreed to. Romanov is one of the few companies that can meet our grain import needs. This kind of company is hard to come by for us! If you can become a multinational trading company, it can help us If you solve more food shortages, why should you be restricted?" Yakovlev asked rhetorically.

"Then what do you mean?" Seryozha asked for advice. He couldn't wait to go back to China now. The things here have nothing to do with him. Even if the Canadian government imposes sanctions, Seryozha can let the Moscow Trading Company With branches all over the world, the Canadian government has no way of tracking where the food it imports comes from.

"Hurry up and go back to China, Seryozha! We can't control things here, so we might as well go back to Moscow and work hard!" Yakovlev seemed to have come with Secretary Ge's instructions.

After Sergey said goodbye to Yakovlev, he first called Mikhail at home and asked him to prepare for the establishment of a branch of the Moscow Trading Company abroad, and then rushed home and sent this The news came to Karim. Karim was also very happy to hear the news, only Eva was a little bit reluctant to leave Seryozha early.

"Don't be sad, Eva! This is a good thing. If the business scope of the Moscow Trading Company expands abroad, then I can go abroad often! Isn't it more convenient for us to meet?" Seryozha persuaded. Hearing what Seryozha said, Eva immediately understood that the parting this time will allow everyone to stay together more often in the future. This is indeed great news.

"I'm going to Switzerland to help us find a place to live. We will live in Switzerland permanently in the future. I will laugh out loud just thinking about it!" Karim said excitedly.

"Seryozha, do I still need to go to Poland?" Tonya asked.

"Maybe it's better for our air cargo company to be in Switzerland so that I can meet all of you more easily! Anyway, I'll go back to China first, and you will continue to deal with Monsanto and other things here! When everything is arranged, You all go to Switzerland, and I will come to you!" Seryozha urged them.
