Soviet Godfather

Remember [Thousands of Novels] in one second, providing you with wonderful novels to read.

The fact that Gromyko was going to participate in the United Nations Global Security Conference quickly spread to the ears of all members of the Politburo. Many people immediately turned their eyes from Gorbachev to Gromyko.

Before leaving, Gromyko District went to the Central Hospital to visit General Secretary Chernenko. There was an hour-long conversation between the two. The content of the conversation is unknown to outsiders.

But this matter was beyond what Sergey Sha could intervene. Sergei has more important things to do now. That is to select a few vice presidents who can take on major tasks for the Foreign Trade Bank.

Why is the vice president? Because the post of President Sergei Shah intends to take up the post by himself. As the foreign trade bank second only to the central bank among the four largest domestic banks in the Soviet Union, such a large financial institution is involved in all aspects of the export and financing of industrial enterprises in the Soviet Union. In addition to the foreign financial business that Sergei most values, there are also some businesses that specifically face domestic companies that need to be shouldered by someone. But these people in charge now are Zhulavlev’s people, and Selesha will not let them stay in the future.

Sergei is now focusing on the list of experts and consultants of the National Economic Reform Commission and the National Planning Economic Commission. Because the Foreign Trade Bank is not a small financial institution, it is a large institution related to the Soviet Union's national economy and people's livelihood. Only economists who can be favored by the National Economic Reform Commission and the State Planning Economic Commission can satisfy Sergei.

But this kind of thing can only be done secretly now, because Yakovlev is still working at the Soviet Academy of Sciences. Therefore, Selesha entrusted the job of finding a suitable vice president to Yakovlev. This is also Sergei's move to make clear to Gorbachev. In the future, even if Sergey took control of the Foreign Trade Bank, it would be difficult to guarantee that Gorbachev would not mix sand in the middle, so Sergey might as well let Gorbachev decide this candidate.

Yakovlev quickly found several suitable candidates from the State Economic Reform Commission, and arranged a convenient time for Selesha for everyone to meet together. Yakovlev would certainly not say that this was an interview about the candidate for the vice president of the Foreign Trade Bank, but these candidates still guessed that this meeting might be related to the personnel appointment of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.

The meeting place was not the place of work, but the holiday villa of Yakovlev. Sergei came here simply because it was a private gathering, and because these experts were the most outstanding economists in the Soviet Union, Sergei's attitude was very low. After some introduction, everyone gradually became familiar with each other.

Sergei quietly pulled Yakovlev aside, and asked bluntly: "Just talk about the person you recommend!"

"You trust me so much and don't go and see for yourself. Are you a famous economist overseas?" Yakovlev asked cheerfully.

"These are all from a serious economics class, I, an amateur economist, let it go! I am also a little clever in finance!" Xie Liaosha said sincerely.

"Okay! I really have a favorite candidate. If he wasn't too young, I would recommend it to Secretary Gorbachev!" Yakovlev replied in return.

"Who the **** is it? Make you so important?" Xie Liaosha asked curiously.

"You look at the young man sitting on the sofa in gray clothes! He is called Yegor Gydar. Don't look at his old age, he is only twenty-eight years old now!" Yakovlev pointed quietly. A slightly fat guy in the corner said to Sergey.

"A 28-year-old member of the expert panel of the National Economic Reform Commission? Are you kidding me?" Sergey asked in surprise. When he first saw the guy, Sergey thought he was in his thirties. . But I didn't expect that they were already among the top economists in the Soviet Union at the age of 28. Most scholars are already very good after they graduated with a PhD at the age of 28!

"Can the person I recommend to you be an ordinary person? Of course the best! Isn't your Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation now focusing on the South American and British markets? This Yegor Gydar can speak English and Spanish fluently. And Serbian. And his dad is Castro’s old friend, he is a good brother who fought the Bay of Pigs together, life-long friendship!" Yakovlev winked at Selesha. That means this buddy is definitely a good guy in Latin America. Apart from other things, the prestige of the old card among the Latin American leftists can really be used for anything.

"What kind of work is this Gaidar now in charge of the National Economic Reform Commission?" Sergei asked.

"It is mainly the study of economic reform in Chile, and now it seems that it is also shouldering the research work on the economic reform of the United Kingdom! If it weren't for the National Economic Reform Commission, Gromico would get him out of Castro's relationship. Go to the Cuban Embassy." Yakovlev introduced to Selesha.

Speaking of Chile Sergei, I understand that Yegor Gaidar was originally an economist of the Chicago School. No wonder Yakovlev admired him so much. But since it was the person recommended by Yakovlev, Sergey would still want to meet somehow.

Under Yakovlev’s introduction, Sergey Sha had a general impression of Heydar~www.readwn.com~ When Sergey nodded and agreed to talk to Heydar, Yakovlev immediately Called him over. Introduce each other to the two.

"Minister Ulyanov, it's nice to meet you. I have been admiring your name for a long time, and I have always hoped to meet you in person!" Gaidar said with a smile on his face, with a pleased expression in his expression.

"It's nice to meet you, Comrade Gaidar!" Sergey Sha said indifferently.

"Okay, don't be polite! Gaidar is a graduate student at Moscow University, so you are alumni!" Yakovlev patted the shoulders of the two people and said enthusiastically.

So next, Selesha and Gaidar discussed some things about Moscow University. Counting that when Gaidar was in graduate school, Sergey was also at Moscow University. Therefore, the two people have a bit of a common topic.

Yakovlev, who was eager to sell Gaidar to Selesha, talked about the topic of banking from time to time, and Selesha also listened to Gaidar's insights on the banking industry. Some of Gaidar's views are indeed unique, and he is also very familiar with some conditions of foreign commercial banks. Sergei Shah still has no doubts about Gaidar's professionalism. Although this person Sergey Sha would accept, but Sergey Sha did not intend to reuse him.

Gaidar is a discerning guy who didn't seize the opportunity to talk endlessly. After he answered Sergei's question, he found an excuse to leave. On the contrary, after Gaidar left, Yakovlev couldn't wait to ask: "How is it, are you satisfied with this candidate?"

"Satisfied! No one recommended by the dean is dissatisfied!" Xie Liao Sha replied insincerely.

(PS Yegor Gaidar was Russia’s first prime minister. He was a staunch promoter of shock therapy, excluding Yeltsin)
