Chapter 9 Valentin's First Business
Ivankov has had a great time working with Yuri during his time in the United States. Under their division of labor and cooperation, the business in North America has gradually become one of the most stable sources of income for the Gorky Brotherhood.
Under the division of labor, Yuri's main responsibility is to handle the money laundering business within the gang, including maintaining relationships with major clients and managing fund operations. These jobs require certain financial and business knowledge. With the help of Terkina, Yuri gradually mastered these skills and techniques, and began to appreciate the fun of this business.
Although Terkina and Yuri are not yet married, they are already living together as husband and wife. Due to the agreement on Jews signed between the Soviet Union and the United States in 1970, the United States allowed Jews to immigrate from the Soviet Union to the United States, and both Terkina and Yuri's fake identities took advantage of this loophole. So Jelkina and Yuri already have legal residence status here.
Ivankov has never been too cold about financial matters, so he is not very helpful to Yuri's management. But Ivankov has an extraordinary talent for organizing people. Thanks to the efforts of Ivankov, most of Yuri's casinos employ young Russians from the Brighton community in New York. Ivankov obtained U.S. residency through a sham marriage with a native Russian widow in Brighton, for which he paid the other party fifteen thousand dollars. With the passage of time, Ivankov gradually formed a Russian gang with certain strength in the Brighton community and Atlantic City of New York, which changed the situation where the Irish and Italians in these two cities were dominated by one family. In Atlantic City these days, if someone walks down the street speaking Russian-sounding English, they will hardly get into trouble. In the New York area, almost all underworld people know that there is a powerful Russian gang in Brighton Beach.
In addition to being responsible for the security of Yuri Casino and other businesses, Ivankov's men will also be in charge of other businesses. For example, the export business of Yakov's Italian company. Ivankov handled these matters in an orderly manner.
After Yuri and Ivankov waited for a week in Colombia, they finally received the news from Seryozha. Seryozha agreed to make an exception for his big client, Escobar. However, the Gorky Brotherhood will not be directly involved in this business, and they do not want to take any risks for Escobar. The Gorky Brotherhood is completely a middleman, helping Escobar introduce sellers. Yuri and Ivankov then handed over Papa Petrov's phone number to Escobar and returned to the United States.
Papa soon received a call from Escobar, and Escobar told Papa Petrov about his needs. But the old man said to him: "Mr. Escobar, I probably know your needs, but I think you should understand the situation before buying! The kind of missile soldiers you need that can shoot down armed helicopters and fighter jets are not It’s easy to do, and in terms of price, it’s impossible to sell it to you at an internationally accepted price!”
"I understand what you said, as long as I can buy weapons that can deal with American aircraft, I am willing to pay no matter how much it is!" Escobar said eagerly, this is what he said in his heart. For drug dealers who only have rockets and assault rifles in their hands, the powerful firepower of armed helicopters and attack aircraft is invincible. If Escobar wants to stabilize the morale of the army, he must have weapons that can suppress the enemy.
Since it was the first time Petrov and Escobar talked on the phone, they didn't have much time to talk. Although the father was a soldier, it was during World War II, so his knowledge of arms came from The newly added Valentin.
Valentin originally thought that after joining the Gorky Brotherhood, he would start with some trivial things. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long before I received a call from my superior, asking if there was a way to get weapons that could shoot down American armed helicopters and ground attack aircraft,
It also has to be easy to learn, preferably like a rocket. Valentin was taken aback at the time, but he didn't dare to ask further questions. He just said that he was not sure, so he could only ask and try first. However, Valentin was more thoughtful, and he asked the other party's bid on the sidelines.
This point of thought can't be hidden from the old man, and the old man simply said to Valentin: "The price is up to you, as long as you can get it, the price is not a problem!"
"I think only the Needle-1 individual soldier missile can meet the opponent's requirements!" Valentin said affirmatively.
"Is it easy to do? How much is a coin?" asked Petrov's father.
"It's not easy. Only a few troops are equipped with this kind of missile. And most of these troops are deployed in Afghanistan! Mainly to deal with Pakistani and American reconnaissance planes in the border area! In terms of price, probably... About $300,000 a piece!" Valentin blew up the price five times in one breath, and if it was sold at this price, Valentin himself would be able to make a net profit of about $240,000.
"Okay, let's take this price! It's best to get some samples within a month. If the customer is satisfied, I think he will make you a lot of money!" Dad said on the phone .
"Thank you, boss, I will definitely work hard!" Valentin quickly replied excitedly. He knew the concept of two hundred and forty thousand dollars. This amount of money was a lot of money even abroad, and it was the income of an ordinary American family for several years. As long as he gets one, he will be able to eat and drink for the rest of his life.
"Valentin, there is one thing I want to tell you, I don't care how much money you make in this business! But if you get into trouble, you can only carry it yourself. If you really bring trouble to the organization If you don’t, I think you should know what kind of punishment you will receive. The KGB is a government department after all, and he will only deal with you alone. We are not, if we can’t find you, we will go to your relatives!” Petro Father Husband warned on the phone.
Valentin was reminded by his father's warning, and quickly calmed down! This is an arms deal, and the risk and profit are directly proportional! I was so overwhelmed with patronage just now that I forgot who I was dealing with. Valentin was silent for a while, and then replied on the phone: "Don't worry, boss! I have received self-suicide training in the KGB, and I know what to do when something goes wrong!"
"Very good!" The old man quickly hung up the phone after speaking.
