Chapter 230 Legendary Trader
After dealing with the Monsanto matter, Tonya, Eva and Karim came to Switzerland together, intending to settle here for a long time. Vertex novel update is the fastest. Dongnia was seconded by Seryozha from Soviet Aviation to the Mediterranean Trading Company's office as a supervisor. But this is only a temporary arrangement, because Seryozha has already put the preparations for the air cargo company on the agenda.
The existing five tu-144d aircraft are all in the hands of Soviet Civil Aviation for cargo missions, but because this type of aircraft has strict requirements for pilots and the cost is too high, Soviet Civil Aviation has always wanted to sell them. Now Seryozha took the initiative to come to the door and fell into their arms. Sergey quickly reached an agreement with Soviet Airlines that Sergey's air cargo company would lease these planes for five years, and after five years these planes would automatically belong to Sergey's cargo airline. In addition, Seryozha also contacted the tu-144 production line in Voronezh. Although the Tu-144 has been discontinued, the Tupolev Design Bureau is obviously unwilling to let the tu-144d die like this. They have not stopped the t-144. Sergey and them reached an agreement on the maintenance and use of the aircraft, and they will provide round-the-clock repair and maintenance services, as well as pilot training.
From this point of view, Seriosha has actually saved most of the maintenance costs of tu-144d. Judging from the current situation of tu-144, the advantages and disadvantages of this aircraft are very clear. The advantages are of course fast speed, long range, and fuel economy. The disadvantages mainly focus on high maintenance costs and difficult pilot training. But now the Tupolev Design Bureau is begging others to use it everywhere. In order to make this kind of aircraft survive, Seresha actually didn't pay much.
On behalf of the Mediterranean Trading Company, Mikhail took over all the assets related to Tu-144d from the Soviet Union Civil Aviation, including pilots, ground staff and other technical personnel. Tonya is responsible for the application of the route and check-in at the airport. She will come from the Soviet Union. High salaries within civil aviation have poached some capable talents to deal with this matter, and it is estimated that the follow-up issues will not be dealt with until January next year at the earliest.
This year, Seryozha lived in fear almost all day long. Only after the incident of Flight 007 in the Republic of Korea happened, Seryozha had the energy to really do what he wanted to do. So the few months at the end of the year were extraordinarily busy, mainly because Secretary Ge's urging was a bit too tight, and Seryozha could only keep urging Mikhail to speed up the pace. In order to explain to Secretary Ge first, Mikhail first prepared the Italian branch of the Mediterranean Trading Company, and then the cargo ship of the Romanov Trading Company to transport commodity grain drifted on the sea from Canada.
Seryozha intends to have these grains be processed in Italy and transformed into wheat produced in Hungary, and then from Italy, across the Turkish Strait, from Rostov to the Don River and the Volga River to be transported to Volgog and Gorky respectively, and then Then transfer to the domestic market. Yakov has already taken care of everything along the way, and neither the Italians nor the Turks will have any problems.
However, the expansion of grain trade means that the Romanov Trading Company will receive more resource products such as cotton, electrolytic aluminum, and petroleum. Romanov must recruit more traders.
Romanov's current traders are mainly dealing with resource markets in Europe and North America, but over the years, the market growth rates in Europe and North America have begun to decline. As a market entrant, Romanov, although having a cost advantage, is facing a run on by established trading companies. Romanov is not yet the opponent of the old business houses behind these family backgrounds, so he must find those virgin markets as new business breakthroughs. Therefore, after careful research, Romanov will focus on developing the Asian market, especially the Japanese market.
Therefore, Romanov urgently needs a large number of traders familiar with the Asian market.
But Romanov's recruitment plan has aroused the interest of an American who has just arrived here. This man is called Mark Ridge, who once worked for Philip Brothers, the world's largest oil trader, and later left the company to start his own business. Macrich is naturally adventurous, and he is unscrupulous for his own interests. He specializes in obtaining huge profits from trading rights in countries in turmoil. He once traded with Iran during the Iran hostage crisis, and with Cuba and Libya during the US trade embargo. However, paper cannot cover the fire. Just over a month ago, the US Department of Justice filed a number of charges against Mark Ridge, including fraud, trading with enemies, and tax evasion. Markridge fled to Switzerland with his partner Green.
As an old trader with many years of hard work and rich experience, Mark Ridge quickly noticed Romanov's distinctive trading model. There are not many spot transactions involved in Romanov, only wheat, cotton, oil and electrolytic aluminum, but these commodities span the three major industrial types of agriculture, non-ferrous metals and oil. Trading companies would only focus on one or two of them, which made Mark Ridge very curious about Romanov.
Romanov's recruitment had just begun, and Mark Ridge found Karim through some of his contacts, and asked to meet Karim. Karim hadn't taken it seriously at first, until his subordinates reminded himself that Karim noticed Markridge's sturdy shoes, so he agreed to Markridge's request. The meeting took place at the headquarters of the Romanov company.
Mark Ridge arrived at Romanov Company half an hour earlier, and Karim, who got the news, hurried to receive him. When Macrich saw Karim, he was very surprised at first. But he didn't show it. Instead, he smiled and said, "It's hard to imagine that the head of Romanov is still a beautiful girl. Although I inquired about your situation before I came, I was still surprised to see you!"
"Mr. Macrich, you are a legend in our industry, and it is my honor to get to know you!" Karim flattered.
"But now I'm just an unemployed wanted criminal. I don't know if you'd like to let me find a job in your company?" Mark Ridge said straightforwardly. (To be continued.
