Chapter 146 Unexpected Joy

A few majestic motorcycles cleared the way in front, followed by several high-end Seagull cars. Needless to say, we knew what kind of people were sitting in the cars. ? Eight? One Chinese Network ≈

The convoy stopped in front of the gate of Workers' New Village. From the car in the middle, a cadre wearing a suit and a woolen coat got out of the co-pilot. He walked to the door and opened it gently. An old man in a black wool coat and glasses slowly got out of the car.

"It's General Secretary Andropov!"

"Look! It's General Secretary Andropov!"

...

People at the scene were amazed that the new top leader of the country, chairman of the Soviet Supreme Presidium, and General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Andropov actually came to the scene in person. The crowd suddenly boiled, and everyone rushed forward, scrambling to witness the new general secretary's demeanor.

The police in charge of security work and the Kremlin's internal guards hurriedly blocked the crowd. They held hands and kept the crowd out of the scene, protecting no one from getting close to the general secretary!

Mr. An kept waving his hands to greet the surrounding crowd. Behind him was Gorbaqiaofu, a member of the ZZ Bureau (I heard that his original name would be blocked), and Shelepin, the chairman of the Central Council of the Soviet National Federation of Trade Unions, who hadn't seen his face for a long time.

Damara had a premonition that there was a big news at this time. After so many years, Shelepin seemed to have disappeared from the political arena of the Soviet Union. Why did he suddenly appear here today, together with Secretary Andropov? A political signal? Is Shelepin going to be employed again?

The reporter's intuition is always very keen. It stands to reason that the new king of Andropov is busy when he ascends the throne, but now he has come to the Workers' New Village project with great fanfare. This in the end is why?

The long guns and short cannons in the hands of the reporters quickly aimed at Mr. An, and everyone rushed to record every moment Mr. An was here with their cameras. Mr. An walked forward with great strides. Zyuganov and Grishin, who had heard the news, had long been standing by the roadside waiting for Mr. An to be interviewed. see the same. The outstretched hands of the two hung in the air like this, and the smiles on their faces suddenly froze.

Xie Liaosha was explaining something to his subordinates. Although many people from the Youth League Committee came today, it was still Xie Liaosha and the Youth Industry Department he led.

"Comrade Ulyanov!" A familiar voice came from behind Seryozha. Seryozha turned around and saw that it was General Secretary Andropov who came.

"General Secretary, you... why are you here!" Sergey rushed up to meet him, and extended his hand to shake hands with the General Secretary.

After the two shook hands, Mr. An patted Sergey on the shoulder and said, "What's the matter! Are you still busy? I didn't disturb your work, did I?"

"How could it be, General Secretary!" Seryozha replied with a smile.

"These are the comrades who work with you, why don't you introduce them to me?" General Secretary An said familiarly.

So Serezha began to introduce to Mr. An the staff of the Youth Industry Department and the staff of the city trade union participating in the workers' new village project. Mr. An, Gorbaqiaofu, and Xie Leping shook hands with everyone in turn. I couldn't believe that I was actually received by the general secretary. What happened next was as often reported in the news. Sergey accompanied Mr. An to visit the newly built workers' new village project.

The first phase of Gonggong Xincun is not isolated buildings. Since the living facilities in the south of the city where the project is located are not perfect, the bottom four floors of each building are connected together to serve as functional areas for living facilities. Shops, kindergartens, barbershops, restaurants, food stores, etc. are arranged in these places to facilitate residents' life. There is also a small movie theater and a large city.

The general secretary visited these areas that have not yet been fully put into use with great interest, and listened carefully, with a satisfied smile on his face from time to time. After visiting this place,

The general secretary raised a few more questions, and Sergey answered them one by one. Although Zyuganov always wanted to move forward, it was a pity that no one paid him any attention. After visiting here, Mr. An took the elevator to the top floor and knocked on a house booked by a worker from the Moscow Gies Automobile Factory who also came to see the house.

Each house in Workers' New Village has three types of 1oo, 15o, and 2oo, all of which are relatively large. It's not that Seryozha is making money at a loss. This is designed by taking into account the actual family situation of the Soviets. There is no problem of family planning here, and it is the mainstream of society that each family has two or more children. That's why Xie Liaosha specially designed a large apartment to meet the actual needs of workers' families.

General Secretary Andropov asked the workers' family about their views on the new home. The family was so happy that it looked like a palace. This sentence made some people laugh. Everyone realized the family's longing for a better life in the future.

"Comrade Ulyanov, tell me, if I hand over this area south of the city to you, how soon can you make it as beautiful as the Workers' New Village!" Chairman An pointed to a large area of ​​rotten land in the distance. The last floor asked.

"General Secretary, it's hard to say. We don't have a lot of funds on hand, and the rate of return on rent is very low. I'm afraid it's only a little higher than the bank's interest." Sergey Sha said truthfully. , he has no plans to get promoted. The construction of the Workers’ New Village was operated by Sergey with a lot of dirty money. If there is a problem with the capital chain, Sergey will not be able to survive. Those domestic bureaucrats will not let Niguo go even if they dig three feet Therefore, when conditions permit, Seryozha prefers a slow and steady development strategy.

"So, it's the funds that restrict you, so you can't let go and do a big job?" Andropov asked again.

"Mmm, Mr. An! You understand correctly!" Sergey Sha could not express his true thoughts, so he could only nod vaguely in agreement.

"Comrade Ulyanov, what if our Central Committee gives you the Communist Youth League, especially your Youth Industry Department, greater autonomy and allows you to raise funds yourself?" Andropov looked at Seryozha with a smile, his tone calm And it's meaningful, as if I've been waiting to ask this question for a long time.

Hearing this, Xie Liaosha almost jumped up from the ground happily and raised funds independently. Does this mean that the Ministry of Youth and Industry can legally engage in commercial activities in the future?
