Chapter 41 Chebyshev's Wavering
The freight company under Dongia had already converted the plane into a cargo plane. Due to the haste of Seryosha's request, it was too late to rearrange the cabin. Flew to New York with just a few seats installed in the cabin. Despite this, Sergei's UAE guests were still very interested in Soviet sound planes. They curiously asked some questions about the plane, and the mechanics on the plane tried their best to answer their questions.
Sergey knew in his heart that the Emirates Aviation Exhibition, which only had 10 million US dollars, was doing very well. Sergey hoped to bind this company with the Soviet aviation industry and use foreign funds to help the Soviet Union, which was in trouble due to lack of funds. The aviation industry replenishes the blood. On the other hand, Seryozha is considering the safety of shipping. For a long time, Seryozha's bulk commodity transportation has been carried out by renting freighters from shipping companies. Because of Mark Ridge's special way of doing business, a freighter full of cargo and still sailing on the sea is often on the way. The traders trained by Mark Ridge changed hands by more than a dozen buyers over the phone, of course the freight The destination of the ship will also change accordingly, and in many cases the destination is a country that is blocked or embargoed. It would be too dangerous if you can't control these freighters in your own hands.
Macrich's current transportation is all carried out by his partners for many years. Safety is still guaranteed, but as Glencore's business grows bigger and bigger, the required transportation capacity is no longer enough for those friends of Mark Ridge's early years. Seryozha is now considering whether to buy a large shipping company to set up his own fleet.
According to the thinking logic of normal people, the current global economic depression is not a good time to invest in the shipping industry. Just this year, shipping companies, large and small, have gone bankrupt. But Macrich's business model is doomed Glencore must have its own transportation company. So Seryozha finally decided to let Dongia operate this matter in the name of the Mediterranean Freight Company. The first step was to acquire some freighters that were publicly auctioned by bankrupt freight companies. At the beginning, there was no need to buy particularly large tonnage. Anyway, Glencore’s transportation business is too much to handle. We will expand the company’s scale after we have accumulated a certain amount of experience.
It only takes three hours for the Yinliner to cross the Atlantic from New York to Paris for a transit. Then the plane took off again and flew to Moscow. When Sergey was in Paris, he asked the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation to contact the comrades of the Ilyushin Design Bureau to pick up the plane at the airport. in the USSR.
When the plane landed in Moscow in the dark, Seryozha finally breathed a sigh of relief. He has already decided that he will take the tu144d when he goes abroad in the future. After all, he can save more time. Seryozha introduced comrades from the Ilyushin Design Bureau to the UAE guests at the airport, and then the Ilyushin Design Bureau picked them up. Seryozha assured these UAE guests that they can contact them at any time regardless of any questions he.
The next afternoon Seryozha regained his strength after a good rest. He was not in a hurry to go to the unit to work, but stayed at home to discuss with Mark Ridge about US grain exports. Charity organizations in the United States have been registered, and all that remains is to recruit some employees to set up the shelf. Since the grain was to be shipped to Italy for processing, Yakov would also be involved in this matter. During this period of time, with the shift of business focus, many members of the Gorky Brotherhood were sent abroad. Some became traders at Glencore, while others were sent to Japan and Italy to do different jobs. Seryozha's Gorky Brotherhood has begun to develop in the direction of corporatization and grouping. Since this time the food business involves Africa, Makrich and Yakov will send some people to Africa to run the so-called charitable organization.
Macridge coveted Ethiopia's rich mineral resources, so he planned to send several elite soldiers there.
But Yakov is not the case. There are not enough manpower on his side, so he plans to select suitable manpower from among the few members who have just been sent over from the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, Chebyshev was included in the list of members sent to Africa by Yakov. It is also because the purpose of going to Africa is different, so Mark Ridge's men mainly went to Ethiopia in the name of charity organization staff, while Yakov's men also went to Ethiopia in the name of charity organization, but the destination was relatively Barren and chaotic Somalia.
Yakov knew that this was not a good job, so everyone who was sent there received a big red envelope from Yakov. Chebyshev now knew his mission, and he was eager to convey the news to his superior, Baranikov. So the night before leaving Italy, Chebyshev called Balanikov under the pretext of contacting his family and told him that he would be sent to Somalia.
", I don't want to do this damn undercover for you anymore, I want to go back to Moscow, I don't want to go to Mogadishu!" Chebyshev vented on the phone out of control.
"Calm down, Chebyshev! I don't know where you will be sent, but now you are the only one who has broken into the organization! And you have also found out about the organization's business and even reached Africa. If you leave now , They will definitely hunt and kill you. Do you think you can live in Moscow safely? As long as this organization is not completely destroyed for a day, you will always live in fear!" Balanikov said bitterly on the phone Persuasion, Balanikov is not having a good time now. He is still carrying out the investigation of Team Nikolai behind the KGB's superiors in private, and these are all carried out with his own salary. Although Balanikov's level is not low, he is still a little breathless due to the cost. But Balanikov firmly believed that what he had endured was worth it, because now it seems that Nikolai's criminal organization is extremely large, even colluding with foreign criminal groups, which is extremely harmful to the country. The responsibilities of the KGB made Balanikov never give up any opportunity to eradicate this organization and discover the black hands behind it. Balanikov moved with emotion and understood with reason. After finally making sense, Chebyshev continued the task.
