Soviet Godfather

When the staff of Ural Heavy Machinery Plant personally delivered the invitation letter to the office of Selesha of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, Selesha was still a little surprised. At the beginning, in Selesha, the United Kingdom, the key technology of two natural gas pipelines was transferred to the United Kingdom on the condition of reducing costs. The Ural Heavy Machinery Plant received part of the steam turbine technology transferred from Alstom, and the Kryvorog Lenin Steel Plant in Ukraine Obtained British Steel's pipeline production technology. Both of these technologies are beyond the reach of the current industrial strength of the Soviet Union. The Soviet-Europe natural gas pipeline project will pass through the Caucasus region between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea. It is the seat of the Chechen Republic and is also a famous seismic zone. Some uninhabited areas that the pipeline passes through have even experienced earthquakes of magnitude nine. There are extremely strict requirements for the seismic performance of the pipeline. Therefore, the Su-Ou natural gas pipeline project can be said to be the pinnacle of pipeline engineering technology.

Selesha was very happy with the invitation of the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant. In contrast, Ukraine’s Krivoy Rog Lenin Steel Plant did not have the knowledge of the leaders of the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant. Sergei originally wanted to find a reason to decline the other party's invitation, but when he opened the invitation and saw the signature at the bottom, he couldn't help but get a little excited. Unexpectedly, this invitation was actually issued by Yeltsin himself.

"Thanks to the comrades of Sverdlovsk Oblast for their warm invitation. Please convey my greetings to the comrades of the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant. I will attend the commissioning ceremony of the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant's steam turbine production line on time!" Changed his attitude and took the initiative to leave his seat to greet these cadres from the Sverdlovsk region. He asked Nasca to arrange for them to live in the guest house of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and greeted them to spend a few days in Moscow. After Selesha had arranged his schedule, they would be arranged to return to Sverdlovsk by plane.

In the days before the departure, Sergey Sha finally figured out Yeltsin’s current situation. Of course, Sergey Shah did not expect that Yeltsin invited him only after seeing his new worker city. Sergey Sha was innocent. I thought this was the kindness of Ural Heavy Machinery Plant. But Seryosha had the intention of making friends with Yeltsin deliberately. Even if Sergei is unfamiliar with history, he knows who is in charge of Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Sergei asked Nasca to help him adjust his future schedule and included the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant in the scope of the inspection. Sergeysha did not intend to return home just by missing one side at the commissioning ceremony. He would stay in Sverdlovsk for a longer period of time, and it would be best to win Yeltsin into his political friend. Sergey did not expect that Yeltsin actually wanted to establish an intimate relationship with Sergey more urgently than he. In this way, Sergei came to Sverdlovsk with a different mind.

The city of Sverdlovsk was founded in 1723 and was once named after Queen Catherine I. However, the Soviet government later changed it to Sverdlov in honor of the communist fighter Sverdlovsk. City.

Located to the east of the Ural Mountains, it is an important transportation hub connecting Siberia and Moscow, and an important industrial, trade, scientific, and cultural center in the Soviet Union. As a super large state-owned machinery manufacturing enterprise, Ural Heavy Machinery Plant is not only responsible for the R&D and manufacturing of many large-scale machinery projects in the Soviet Union, but also an important military industrial enterprise.

As soon as Sergey got off the plane, he met Secretary Yeltsin who came to greet him. After the two shook hands, they returned to the guest house of the state government in the same car. On the way, Yeltsin picked up the plane and introduced Sergeisha to some of his work in Sverdlovsk over the years. Especially for some large-scale projects that he led when he was in the construction department, both of them had participated in municipal construction experience, and everyone had a common topic, so the two of them had a very good conversation along the way. He even shared some insights and experiences in municipal construction. Sergey Sha’s experience in project financing was very inspiring to Yeltsin, and Yeltsin’s experience in construction management also benefited Sergey Shah. shallow. When he got off the bus, Yeltsin even directly called Sergei Selesha's brother instead of Comrade Ulyanov. Sergey Shah called Yeltsin the eldest brother of Boris. There is a factor of deliberate friendship. Sergei put his posture very low, and Yeltsin also felt that the other party did not put on a disgusting Moscow cadre.

"Brother Sergey, tomorrow is the weekend. Although we have just met, but I and you hit it off at first sight, and the more we talked, the more speculative. I don't know what your drinking capacity, brother? Is there any time to enjoy it in our home in the suburbs? As a guest, our villa on the outskirts is by the river. By the way, do you like fishing? Let's go boating and fishing together!" Yeltsin warmly invited.

"Brother Boris, naturally I can't ask for it. After listening to some of your suggestions on the establishment of municipalities, I was very educated. If I had the opportunity to listen to your insights as soon as possible, it would be great!" Xie Liaosha complimented. .

"These are some empirical talks, it can be regarded as a summary of my work from someone who has come over! However, even though I have left the construction industry to take up a leadership position, I still dare not give up my profession, and occasionally I will turn it over when I have time. Let’s review some of the information in the past!” Yeltsin inadvertently revealed his veteran experience in municipal development, hoping to attract Seriosha’s attention. But Sergey Shah obviously didn't realize what Boris meant.

After the two separated at the hotel, Yeltsin drove home in a special car. In the car, Yeltsin used the car phone to contact his wife Yeltchena. He was asked to prepare dishes for the guests early in the morning, and guests from Moscow will be on the door tomorrow. Yeltsin was very prestigious at home, and his wife did not dare to ask more and quickly agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Yelichenna found paper and pen to list some things to purchase tomorrow. Tomorrow, there will naturally be a nanny at home to help her purchase, but Yelichena still has to make the dishes by herself to appear sincere.

Yeltsin sat in the car and reviewed all the conversations between him and Sergei over and over again. Through today's conversation, Yeltsin feels that at least one thing is good, that is, the other party seems to be very close to him. Sergei Sha is the most popular celebrity around Gorbachev. Yeltsin does not intend to use him only as a tool to obtain the Workers’ New City. Picking up such a capable and young cadre will surely become his own in Moscow in the future. A big help.
