Chapter 245 The Ambition of Natural Gas
"Hey! It's all my fault, I don't know the situation here, and I almost made a mistake!" Sergey patted the researcher who reminded himself, and then put the cigarette in his hand again WWW...lā. As soon as he said these words, the tense atmosphere suddenly eased. Seryozha then told a few jokes in a lively atmosphere. Although it wasn't funny, everyone still laughed and turned the atmosphere around.
"Is the Su-Europe natural gas pipeline project nearby? How about we go and visit it?" Seryozha suddenly said with great interest. In fact, when Yulia told him that this was the Su-Europe natural gas pipeline project, Seryozha felt a ripple in his heart. Recently, the Soviet Union has been suffering from sanctions from Western countries. Can the natural gas project continue smoothly?
"Director Ulyanov, please wait for a moment, we will go over and make arrangements right away!" Yushchenko hurriedly reported to Serezha, who nodded and let Yushchenko go to make arrangements first. Then take the people back to the car to rest. The temperature outside was too cold, and the smell in the greenhouse was not very good. Seryozha had long lost interest in staying outside.
Within five minutes, Yushchenko came back and reported that everything had been arranged, and he invited Sergei to visit. Seryozha still remembered Yulia's performance just now, and out of reward and pleasure for her, Seryozha asked Yulia to go with him in the same car.
After driving for about half an hour, the car arrived at the Ukrainian Management Center of the Su-European Natural Gas Pipeline Project. Although Seryozha is an official of the Ministry of Agriculture, he is from the central government after all, so the management center naturally dare not neglect. Seryozha had just walked into the building of the management center with a group of subordinates, and the staff of the management center who lined up on both sides immediately remembered the warm applause. When he was in Moscow, Seryozha was not treated like this. After shaking hands with the comrades in the management center, he visited the operation of the natural gas pipeline management center under the leadership of the officials in charge.
The reason why Seryozha came here to visit was because he was greedy for the natural gas business. Serezha was well aware of the appreciation potential of natural gas than anyone of his era. In Western countries in the future, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection, natural gas, an energy source, will replace coal and become the basis for economic development in Western Europe. As long as there is even the slightest possibility, Seryozha hopes to extend his tentacles to this field.
Seryozha is now in a completely different state from visiting agricultural projects. He listens carefully to the explanations and introductions of the staff here, and from time to time raises his own questions to communicate fully with the other party. It was during this process that a whole new plan began to brew in his mind. A whole new plan came to his mind that would combine gas and agriculture!
There was a smile on the corner of Seryozha's mouth, and he looked at everything here calmly. When he had the opportunity, he asked the staff here: "What about us locals? Is the consumption of natural gas high?"
"Hmm! This... You know Director Ulyanov, we also have a large coal mine here, which can produce high-quality coal. Most residents in this city use coal for heating in winter and for cooking!" A deputy mayor of Dnepropetrovsk who is in charge of infrastructure and people's livelihood immediately reported.
"This is not good, comrades! There is no reason for those western capitalist capitalist countries to use clean natural gas, while our own workers still use unclean coal! This is not leaving cleanliness to our enemies, Have we left the pollution to ourselves?" Although Sergey's tone was relaxed, the meaning of his speech revealed his dissatisfaction with the backwardness of the local people's livelihood. The faces of the officials in charge immediately changed, and they began to talk about the difficulties in their work with trepidation,
All the funds and technical talents have come. These words have only one meaning, that is, objective conditions do not allow us to do this.
"Don't be nervous, the problems you mentioned are all objective. I will truthfully reflect the difficulties encountered by the comrades to the central government. Although I am mainly responsible for the country's food production, the living problems of the common people are also our concern !” Sergey said sternly.
When the local officials heard Seryozha's statement, they were naturally rejoiced. They had in-depth knowledge of Seryozha's background. The reason why this young Moscow official was able to rise to the top is to a large extent closely related to the new workers' village project he led in Moscow. It is said that this project was registered with Mr. An, and it is said that his appointment to the Ministry of Agriculture was the result of Secretary Gorbachev's consultation with Mr. An in person. The words of a Moscow official with rich experience in infrastructure management carry considerable weight in Ukraine.
Although Seryozha did not discuss this matter with Gorbachev, but now Gorbachev has something to ask of himself, and Seryozha is not worried that Gorbachev will oppose him on this matter. Moreover, the last time he suddenly pushed himself to the position of the Ministry of Agriculture without even discussing it, Gorbachev must compensate himself.
Nastya has already noticed the unusualness of Seryozha's series of statements, and she carefully recorded the key points of Seryozha's speech. Nastya had worked under Sergei for such a long time, and already had a certain tacit understanding. There is a reason why Seryozha came here for investigation because of his side effects.
On the way back, Seryozha called Yulia into his car again, and he was about to leave Ukraine for Moscow. He didn't want to go around in circles with this charming woman anymore, he planned to be straightforward, and simply figure out what purpose this woman had for approaching him. If the opponent is really Tymoshenko, Seryosha also hopes to form a good relationship. So he asked directly: "We will return to Moscow in a few days. Is there anything else you can do for me?"
Yulia immediately raised her head and glanced at Seryozha with a smile, and then said: "Director Ulyanov really has a bright eye! In fact, I was entrusted to come to you. I have a relative, Dnepr The deputy director of the Petrovsk State Agricultural Bureau, and now the director of the Agricultural Bureau is about to retire, my relative wants to fight for the position of director, but there is a disadvantage in age, so..."
"Your relatives? What kind of relatives are they?" Seryozha asked impatiently.
"It's my father-in-law, Gennady Tymoshenko!" Yulia said bravely.
