During this period, Yuri and Ivankov tried their best to leverage their funds to support Mikhail in Tokyo. However, since Yuri and Ivankov's businesses both require huge cash flow in the hotel and gambling industries, they could not spend much money in a hurry.

Yuri and Ivankov also cannot raise funds from banks and other financial institutions. Because whether it is a chain hotel, a casino or a betting station, the accounts are closely related to the gangsters. These accounts must not be seen by the bankers. So Yuri put his ideas on the drug dealers in Colombia.

Yuri dared not to embezzle the money of Escobar or Aurejuela's brothers without saying anything. He must say hello in advance. Relatively speaking, Escobar trusted Yuri and the others more, and Escobar did not refuse the borrowing of money. However, when he knew that Yuri wanted to borrow as much as 15 billion US dollars, Escobar could no longer calm down.

"Yuri, what do you want so much money?" Escobar asked in surprise.

"This is Mr. Nicholas' order, we just do it! But Mr. Nicholas said that the money is not used in vain, and the annual interest rate is 20%!" Yuri replied on the phone.

Escobar was hesitant, and Nikola's people knew better than he himself. Moreover, not long ago, Escobar proposed to the government to exempt the crime by repaying Colombian foreign debt. At that time, Escobar proposed the amount between 100 and 14 billion yuan. It is clear whether Escobar could take out the money Nikola knew.

"Yuri, you're making me embarrassed!" Escobar said in a bad tone.

"Friend, if you are worried, I can mortgage my hotel and casino to you. We will borrow the money for half a year and return the principal and interest at that time!" Yuri continued.

As soon as Escobar heard Yuriken take out his own property as collateral, Escobar felt much more relieved. Escobar knew that Yuri was the owner of the ibis hotel chain. Ibis' cheap hotel chains are all over the big and medium-sized cities in Western Europe and North America. Most importantly, most of these hotels are owned properties. In addition to the casino assets, 15 billion will definitely not be lost.

Considering that all the arms in Escobar are from Nikola now, he is now relying on organizing his own arms to fight against the government. Even if he does something about offending Nikola, he can't choose such a thing, so he reluctantly agreed.

After getting the $15 billion Escobar's hands, the remaining Cali Group is not that difficult. Yuri used the same method to mortgage part of the assets of the United States and raised another $5 billion from the Cali Group.

Yuri sent the money to Mikhail again through the Colombian Bank. Now Mikhail has $60 billion in funds.

It was not only Yuri who raised funds for Mikhail, but also Yakov in Italy. However, they were all gangsters, and the Italians were not as rich as Colombians.

Yakov did not have any of his own industry, and the only company was the Mediterranean trading company affiliated with the Soviet government. So Yakov could not borrow money by mortgage like Yuri, so he could only make an levy. Unfortunately, Yakov's method could not allow these stingy Italians to take out real money. Yakov had worked hard for a long time and got hundreds of millions of dollars.

As the date approached, Eva and Kalim also raised some funds and sent them to Japan, which were added up to less than 60 billion US dollars. Although this was a huge sum of money, Mikhail's opponents in Japan were old chaebols such as Mitsui, Mitsubishi, and Sumitomo. This little money was definitely not enough.

Seriosha had already secretly started to embezzle foreign exchange in foreign trade banks. Although it was embezzling the country's money, Seriosha believed that he was doing the right thing. This time, Seriosha had to enrich his wealth and also gain more foreign exchange for foreign trade banks, and at least he had to repay the part of the foreign debt owed to West Germany from the Brezhnev era. The money was originally owed for the 1980 Moscow Olympics. You should know that before the Afghan War, the relations between the Soviet Union and Western Europe and the United States continued to ease. The Soviets originally hoped to use this Olympics to let the whole world recognise a brand new Soviet Union. This Olympics raised about 10 billion US dollars from West Germany, but with the outbreak of the Afghan War in the last few days of 1979, the money of the Soviets was wasted.

The foreign debt of West Germany has been overdue for several years, and the principal and interest are pressing on the heads of the Soviet people. Now the price of natural gas delivered to West Germany by the Soviet Union's Soviet-European natural gas project is much lower than that of France and the United Kingdom, largely because the interest on this debt plays a role.

Although the country Gorbachev took over was still sufficient in its treasury, foreign exchange income had begun to decline. The competitiveness of Soviet industrial products in the world was continuing to decline, while Eastern European countries continued to turmoil and were in trouble and could not provide the Soviet Union with a dumping place for goods. The situation in the future will only worsen better.

Seriosha soon set up an office for the Foreign Trade Bank in the City of London. The head of this institution was Seriosha's heart Nasca. Seriosha arranged for her to leave Moscow and go to London to handle the preliminary work. Because of the British government's desire for funds, the City of London has cancelled supervision of the financial industry. Therefore, Seriosha's funds can flow into the account of the London branch of the Soviet Foreign Trade Bank without any scruples.

Not long after Nasja arrived in London, he soon took the initiative to visit Seriosha's old friends in the UK. These etiquette matters were just to make the Soviet Foreign Trade Bank gain a foothold in the financial city. Because of Seriosha's relationship, the British bankers' union accepted the Soviet Foreign Trade Bank, a bank from the other side of the Iron Curtain. Many British government officials still remember Gorbachev's visit last year. Gorbachev left an enlightened impression on the British government. Now Gorbachev is already the general secretary, and the cooperation between the Soviet and the UK is becoming increasingly close. With the failure of the coal miners' strike, British society has finally returned to an orderly state.

However, just when British friends were still fascinated by Seriosha's representative Nasca, a signed article by Seriosha was published in the journal "Economist", which surprised the British financial circle...
