Chapter 177 Yakovlev

Seryozha had never heard of Yakovlev until Korolev mentioned him. [No Pop-Up Novel Network] After Sergey learned about the glorious deeds this man had done ten years ago, Sergey became very interested in him. He deliberately went to learn about Yakovlev's life. This person is indeed not simple.

Yakovlev was born in a poor peasant family in Yaroslav, Soviet Union in 1923. He participated in the Great Patriotic War at the age of eighteen, and was honorably discharged from the army because of a leg injury and permanent disability. Since then, he has been on the rise, entered the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union at the age of thirty, became a key training object, and was sent to Columbia University in the United States for a year of study. If he hadn't published a sharply worded article criticizing Brezhnev in the "Literary Daily" ten years ago, I am afraid that he would have already been a member of the Soviet Politburo. After a setback in his career, he spent a good ten years as the Canadian ambassador, but was found because he used his personal relationship with the Canadian Prime Minister to do Gorbachev a big favor during Gorbachev's visit to Canada. Got a new backer. Yakovlev returned to Moscow shortly thereafter as director of the Institute of World Economy and International Politics of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Now he has been deeply imprinted with the brand of Goshi's men and horses.

But for the current Moscow officialdom, Gorbachev is not the most popular person in the Politburo. Because of his age, Ge Shi ranked last among the members of the Politburo Standing Committee, and not many cadres were willing to take the initiative to seek refuge with him. Only Seryosha, a belated person, knows who will eventually end up with the party and government power in the Soviet Union.

However, Seryozha did not think about relying on the power of Goshi to make his way in the officialdom. He just wanted to occupy a position in the Moscow Youth League Committee to prevent other forces from intervening. Among the factions of the Politburo, Mr. Bo's old subordinates who stood with Churbanov would not do this, and neither would Mr. An's men. The only variable is Grishin and Gromyko's faction .

Korolev arranged for Seriosha to get close to Yakovlev, which was a symposium on international workers' activities held by the Soviet Academy of Sciences for some senior trade union cadres. Yakovlev was one of the keynote speakers at the symposium. Originally, this opportunity belonged to Kololev, but Kololev gave it to Sergey.

The venue of the symposium was a small meeting room in the conference center of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, and the way of the symposium was quite different from the usual lectures. The young cadres participating in the meeting are free to ask any questions related to the theme. It is said that this is also arranged at the request of Yakovlev.

Seryozha pushed open the door of the agreed conference room on time, and walked in with his briefcase. At this moment, some people came here one after another. Most of them are senior cadres in the trade union system. Seryozha didn't know any of them, but he underestimated his popularity. Many cadres here seemed to know Seryozha.

"Secretary Ulyanov, nice to meet you here, I'm XXX"

"Secretary Ulyanov, I didn't expect to see you here again, I'm XXX"

"Secretary Ulyanov,

I have been in love with you for a long time, I didn't expect to see you here, I am XXX"

...

People kept getting up and saying hello to Seryozha, which made Seryozha feel a little embarrassed. He couldn't call these people by their names at all, but they were very enthusiastic. Seryozha was really not used to this kind of social occasion!

"Young man, it seems that you are very popular!" An old man sitting on the main seat in the center of the venue said.

"Hello, Director Yakovlev! I'm very glad to hear your speech today!" Sergey said humbly.

"I can't talk about it, I just came back from abroad, I just want to tell you what I saw and heard abroad, and broaden everyone's horizons! Please find a seat first, we will start soon! "Madam Yakovlev is very easy-going, and she doesn't feel the aura of a cadre in him at all, just like an approachable old man.

"Okay! Let's start now! Where do we start? Which of you has been to the United States or those developed countries in Western Europe?" Yakovlev asked everyone.

Few people raised their hands in the crowd, and Seryozha knew what he was coming for. There is no need to be conservative and humble at this time, so he happily raised his hand.

"Okay! I'm glad to see that there are cadres here who understand the outside world, then you also have a good idea of ​​the living standards of the working class abroad! Then let's talk about the housing standards of workers in our country and Western countries I think everyone has a deep understanding of the domestic housing system, so I won’t mention it here, I actually want to introduce what the housing conditions of foreign workers are like...” In the following time, Yaco Fulev belittled the Soviet Union's housing allocation system to the point of worthlessness. To be honest, Sergey felt that most of what the old man said was very reasonable, but Sergey felt that Yakovlev did not mention foreign countries. The disadvantages of the housing loan system, and did not say that once the old Bai surname fails to pay the loan, he will soon face the result of the bank's door-to-door collection of the house. He just praised how reasonable the foreign housing allocation system is and how comfortable the houses of foreign workers are. Seryozha had only been to the United States, not Canada. He didn't know the actual situation in Canada, so he just quietly listened to Yakovlev's advice.

"Director Yakovlev, one of the people we are working on is now presiding over the new Moscow workers' village project! I wonder if you are interested in hearing Secretary Ulyanov's opinion?" Sha pushed to the front of the stage.

"Okay! I just returned to China! But I have also heard about the project of the Moscow Workers' New Village! I would like to hear the views of the managers of this project!" Yakovlev stretched out his hand to Seryozha, enthusiastically invited him to speak.

At this moment Seryozha did not want to show off, but he was willing to make friends with Yakovlev. So Seryozha stood up and briefly introduced some problems in the source of funds for the new Moscow workers' village. He did not mention the advantages and disadvantages of the foreign housing loan system, because he did not want to contradict Yakovlev's point of view.

"Comrade Ulyanov, you really opened my eyes! Your method is indeed very good, but I think that compared with the Western housing system, the model you are using now is not universal. But I I'm still very glad that our cadres can carry out some institutional explorations and reforms without sticking to one pattern!" Yakovlev looked at Sergey with admiration.

After the meeting, Seryozha found an opportunity to invite Yakovlev to the Municipal Youth League Committee as a guest. Yakovlev readily agreed, and the two left each other with phone calls. Seryozha felt that his goal was basically achieved this time, and he was sure that he had left a deep and good impression on Yakovlev.
