Chapter 277 The truth that is close at hand
When Seriosha returned to Leningrad again, in order to discuss the future development direction of the Gorky Group, the core members of the Gorky Group returned to Leningrad to meet Seriosha. Many people had not met Seriosha for several years. The business is too big now and there are too many things to do, so it is very difficult to get everyone together.
Papa Petrov hasn't seen everyone for a long time, and he feels very happy. Now his body is not as good as before, and he drinks less. The doctor advises him to control his weight, so his father no longer eats at night. However, when he sees Seryosha's good brothers gathered together again, Papa Petrov couldn't help but touch the wine glass.
Everyone is now with identities, especially Eva and Tonya, who basically have to be received by leaders in any country. Their plane has just landed in Leningrad, and the Kremlin is like they have sent an invitation. Mikhail is also the key target of the Kremlin. Gorbachev wants to talk to them about Seriosha without caring about anything. Seriosha is concerned about how the Gorky consortium that has controlled most Eastern European countries can safely survive on this land forever.
According to Seryosha's meaning, Columbia Bank's big tree attracts wind, and now the exposed assets are comparable to the five major investment banks on Wall Street. It also plays an important role in the US electricity, agriculture, and natural gas markets. Such companies are really dazzling. If this continues, every step of Columbia Bank will be exposed to the spotlight.
How can we hide our strength and continue to expose the achievements of Colombian Bank? Seryosha's method is to break the whole into pieces, actively dismember the Colombian Bank into several smaller banks, and then disclose a portion of the shares to the public. In this way, the Gorky Group can operate these decomposed banks through offshore companies, and then control the next-level enterprises through these banks.
In order to cover up, in addition to the core members of the Gorky Group, Seriosha also invited managers of well-known European companies to come to Leningrad to participate in this event in the name of Leningrad Special Economic Zone. Because in the past year, Leningrad's economic boom has attracted worldwide attention, this time, basically all well-known large companies in Europe and the United States have sent representatives to attend the meeting.
Yakov is now the famous betting and hotel chain in Europe. He and the Italian Mafia control almost the most influential sporting events in Europe. It includes William Hill telephone and online betting sites, ibis hotels, and most casino businesses in Europe. In addition, Yakov is also the largest commercial real estate developer in Europe. Yakov, who was born in Gorky auto manufacturing, covers the sky in Italy with only one hand, and almost all the powerful mafia families have business dealings with him. He even owns the Ferrari team and Juventus football team.
Because Yakov was deeply involved with the underworld, he did not dare to be careless about his own security issues. This time, Yakov specially brought some of his confidant subordinates to Leningrad. One of them included Chebischev, an undercover agent who was stationed by the KGB inside the Gorky Brotherhood. This time it was definitely the best opportunity for Chebischev to join the Gorky Brotherhood.
Chebishev had contacted his superior Balanikov before leaving Italy. Balanikov had been waiting for so many years and had always wanted to know who the control behind the Gorky Brotherhood organization was. In recent years, Chebishev first intervened in aid food smuggling case in Africa, and then was sent to Latin America to assassinate Colombian politicians. He almost became an accomplice in assassinating the President of Colombia. As Chebishev did more for the Gorky Brotherhood, he gained deeper trust. Until a year ago, Chebishev finally had the opportunity to return to Italy again and became the person around the Italian godfather Yakov.
Although Chebishev didn't know why Yakov came to Leningrad, he still vaguely felt that Yakov was coming to meet some important figure. Since Chebishev came to Italy, he had seen Yakov go to ask for advice on a certain mission by phone at a critical moment.
Who else can be a leader in the Gorky Brotherhood who is more senior than Yakov is definitely the highest level of the entire organization. Now Chebischev is eager to see who this guy is. As long as you can determine the true identity of the top leader of the Gorky Brotherhood, Chebischev's undercover career can be completely over, and he can stay away from this two-sided life and change his name and live a normal life.
After Yakov came to Leningrad, in addition to attending several entertainment activities organized by the local government, he always stayed in the resort villa where he lived. It seemed that he was waiting for the arrangement of the big man behind him. According to Chebishev's understanding of Yakov, it was absolutely abnormal for Yakov to be so quiet. Yakov was famous for Italian playboys, and he never lacked the figures of supermodels and female stars around him. In addition, Yakov also likes racing and drives different sports cars to nightclubs all night long every day. But after arriving in Leningrad, Yakov almost seemed to have changed someone.
Yakov, who lives in the resort, kept in contact with Italy. Chebishyev learned from Yakov's words that Yakov was asking his accountants to count the huge assets under his name, but Chebishyev didn't understand what he was going to do. Until one day, Yakov only took Rubik and Chebishyev to leave the resort.
The car left the city of Leningrad in the night and then came to the Leningrad International Airport. Their cars were easily put in and finally arrived at a secret apron. A business plane that had been on standby here seemed to be waiting for Yakov's arrival.
"You two can go back now. Come and pick me up when I inform you. Remember not to mention this to anyone, and don't even talk about your own people!" Yakov explained to Rubik and Chebishev.
When Yakov boarded the plane, the cabin door slowly closed. Then the plane left the apron and began to slid towards the runway in the distance. This time, Chebischev felt deep despair. He was so close to the truth. Why, why did he miss the truth behind the scenes again?
