After dealing with the matter of Monsanto, Tonia, Eva and Kalim came to Switzerland together, intending to settle here for a long time. Tonia was arranged by Seriosha to serve as the head of the Mediterranean Trading Company by secondment from Soviet Airlines. However, this is only a temporary arrangement, because Seriosha has put the preparations for the air cargo company on the agenda.

The five existing Tu144D models are all cargo missions in the hands of Soviet civil aviation. However, because this type of aircraft has strict requirements on pilots and is too expensive, the Soviet civil aviation has always wanted to take them off. Now Seriosha comes to the door and hits their minds. Seriosha soon reached an agreement with Soviet Airlines. Seriosha's air cargo company will lease these aircraft for five years, and in five years, these aircraft will automatically belong to Seriosha's cargo airline. In addition, Seriosha also contacted the Tu144 production line in Voronezh. Although the production of Tu144 has been stopped, the Tupolev Design Bureau is obviously unwilling to let Tu144D die in this way. They have not stopped the relevant work of T144. Seriosha reached an agreement on aircraft maintenance and use, and they provide all-weather maintenance, maintenance services, and pilot training.

In this way, Selyosha has actually saved most of the maintenance costs of the tu144d. Judging from the current situation of the tu144, the advantages and disadvantages of this type of aircraft are very distinct. Of course, the advantages are fast speed, long range, and fuel-efficient. The disadvantages are mainly concentrated in the high maintenance costs and difficult pilot training. However, now the Tupolev Design Bureau is asking others to use it, hoping to make this aircraft survive. Selyosha actually costs not much.

Mikhail, on behalf of the Mediterranean Trading Company, took over all the assets related to tu144d from the Soviet Civil Aviation, including pilots, ground crew members and other technicians. Donniya is responsible for the application for routes and check-in at the airport. She will poach some capable talents from the Soviet Civil Aviation Company to handle this matter with high salaries. It is expected that the follow-up issues will not be handled until January next year as soon as possible.

This year, Selyosha has been living in panic all day long. Only after the incident of Flight 007 of the Republic of Korea did Selyosha have the energy to do what he wanted to do. So the end of the year has been particularly busy, mainly because Secretary Go was urging him to a little too tightly, Selyosha could only keep urging Mikhail to speed up his pace. In order to give Secretary Go an explanation, Mikhail first prepared the Italian branch of the Mediterranean Trading Company, and then the cargo ship transporting commercial grain from Romanov Trading Company drifted on the sea from Canada.

Seryosha planned to make these grains processed in Italy and transform them into wheat produced in Hungary. Then, from Italy, across the Turkish Strait, from Rostov to transport them to Volgag and Gorky respectively through the Don and Volga Rivers, and then transfer them to the domestic market. Yakov had already prepared them along the way, and neither Italians nor Turks would have any problems.

However, the expansion of grain trade means that Romanov trading company will receive more resource products such as cotton, electrolytic aluminum and oil, and Romanov must recruit more traders.

Romanov's current traders are mainly facing the resource markets in Europe and North America, but over the years, the market growth rates in Europe and North America have begun to decline. Although Romanov, as a market intruder, has a cost advantage, he is facing a run by old trading companies. Romanov is not a rival to the old trading companies behind these companies, so he must find markets in virgin land as a new business breakthrough. Therefore, after careful research, Romanov will focus on opening up Asian markets, especially the Japanese market. Therefore, Romanov urgently needs a large number of traders familiar with the Asian market.

However, Romanov's recruitment plan attracted the interest of an American who had just arrived here. The man was Mark Ritchie, who was once a member of the world's largest oil trader, Philip Brothers, and later left the company to start a business alone. Mark Ritchie was born to love adventure and used all means to make huge profits from the trade rights of turbulent countries. He traded with Iran during the Iran hostage crisis and conducted it with Cuba and Libya during the US trade embargo. However, the paper cannot be kept in the fire. Just over a month ago, the US Department of Justice filed a number of charges against Mark Ritchie, including fraud, trade with the enemy, tax evasion. Mark Ritchie and his partner Green fled to Switzerland.

As an old trader who has worked hard for many years, Mark Ritch quickly noticed Romanov's unique trading model. Romanov did not involve many spot trading varieties, only wheat, cotton, oil and electrolytic aluminum. However, these commodities span agriculture, with three major industries: metal and oil. Ordinary trading companies will only focus on one or two of them, which made Mark Ritchy feel strongly curious about Romanov.

Romanov's recruitment had just begun, and Mark Ritch found Kalim through some of his own connections and made a request to meet Kalim. Kalim had no intention of taking it seriously. It was not until his subordinates reminded him that Kalim noticed Mark Ritch's fierce resume, so he agreed to Mark Ritch's request. The meeting was located at the headquarters of Romanov's company.

Mark Ritchie arrived at Romanov's company half an hour in advance. Kalim, who had received the news, hurried to receive it. Mark Ritchie was very surprised at first when he saw Kalim. However, he did not show it. Instead, he smiled and said, "It is hard to imagine that Romanov's head is still a beautiful girl. Although I learned about your situation before coming, I was still surprised to see you!"

"Mr. Mark Ritchie, you are a legend in our industry. It is my honor to be able to get to know you!" Kalim flatteredly.

"But I am just an unemployed wanted criminal now. I wonder if you are willing to give me a favor to get a job in your company?" Mark Ritchie said directly...
