Chapter 32 Deliberately Making Friends
When the staff of the Ural Heavy Machinery Factory personally delivered the invitation letter to the office of Sergey Shalesha of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, Sergey Shale was still a little surprised. At the beginning, Seryozha in the United Kingdom transferred the key technologies of two natural gas pipelines on the condition of reducing costs. The Ural Heavy Machinery Plant received part of the steam turbine technology transferred from Alstom. Acquired pipe production technology from British Steel. These two technologies are beyond the reach of the current domestic industrial strength of the Soviet Union. The Su-Europe natural gas pipeline project will pass through the Caucasus region between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, where the Chechen Republic is located and a famous earthquake zone. Some uninhabited areas that the pipeline passes through have even experienced earthquakes with magnitudes as high as nine. There are extremely strict requirements on the seismic performance of pipelines. Therefore, the Su-Europe natural gas pipeline project can be said to be the pinnacle of pipeline engineering technology.
Sergesha was very happy about the invitation of the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant. In contrast, the Krivoy Roglenin Iron and Steel Plant in Ukraine did not have such insight as the leader of the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant. Seryozha 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 issued by Yeltsin himself.
"Thank you comrades in Sverdlovsk Region for your warm invitation. Please convey my greetings to the workers and comrades of the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant. I will attend the commissioning ceremony of the steam turbine production line of the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant on time!" Sergey Sha Changing his attitude, he voluntarily left his seat to greet these cadres from Sverdlovsk. He asked Nastya to arrange for them to live in the guest house of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and invited them to spend a few days in Moscow. After Seryozha arranged the schedule, he arranged for them to fly back to Sverdlovsk.
In the few days before departure, Seryozha finally figured out Yeltsin's current situation. Of course, Seryozha did not expect that Yeltsin invited him because of his new city of workers. I thought this was just the kindness of the Ural Heavy Machinery Factory. But Seryozha deliberately made friends with Yeltsin. Even if Seryozha is not familiar with history, he knows who is in charge of Russia after the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
Seryozha asked Nastya to help him adjust his future schedule and included the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant in the scope of the investigation. Seryozha did not intend to return home just by missing a single point at the commissioning ceremony. He wanted to stay in Sverdlovsk for a while, and it would be best if he could win Yeltsin into a friend on his political path. Seryozha never thought that Yeltsin wanted to establish a close relationship with Seryozha even more urgently than him. In this way, Seryozha came to Sverdlovsk with different thoughts.
The city of Sverdlovsk was founded in 1723 and was once named after Empress Catherine I, but later the Soviet government changed it to Sverdlovsk in memory of the communist fighter Sverdlovsk. city of Sk.
Located in the east of the Ural Mountains, it is an important transportation hub connecting Siberia and Moscow, as well as an important industrial, trade, scientific and cultural center in the Soviet Union. As a super-large state-owned machinery manufacturing enterprise, the Ural Heavy Machinery Factory not only undertakes the R&D and manufacturing of many large-scale machinery projects in the Soviet Union, but is also an important military industrial enterprise.
As soon as Seryozha got off the plane, he met Secretary Yeltsin who came to greet him. After shaking 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 to Seresa some of his work in Sverdlovsk over the years. Especially for some large-scale projects he led when he was working in the construction department, both of them had participated in municipal construction experience, and they had common topics, so the two of them chatted very well along the way. He even shared some experience and experience in municipal construction. Yeltsin was very inspired by Seryozha's experience in project financing.
And Yeltsin's experience in construction management also benefited Seryosha a lot. When he got out of the car, Yeltsin even directly called Sergey as Sergey's brother instead of Comrade Ulyanov. And Seryozha called Yeltsin Brother Boris. There is a deliberate friendship factor in this. Seryozha kept his posture very low, and Yeltsin also felt that the other party did not put on any airs of annoying Moscow cadres.
"Brother Xie Liaosha, tomorrow is the weekend. Although we just met, I hit it off with you, and we chatted more and more speculatively. I wonder how your drinking capacity is, brother? Do you have time to enjoy it at our home in the suburbs? As a guest, our villa in the suburbs is by the river, by the way, do you like fishing? We can go boating and fishing together!" Yeltsin warmly invited.
"Brother Boris, I naturally wish for it. I have listened to some of your suggestions on the establishment of the municipal administration today. I am really educated. If I have the opportunity to listen to your opinions as soon as possible!" Sergey Sha complimented .
"This is just some talk from experience. It can be regarded as a summary of my work as a person who has experienced it! But although I have left the construction industry to take up a leadership position, I still dare not neglect my profession. Occasionally I will double it when I have time. Review some past materials!" Yeltsin inadvertently revealed that he was experienced in municipal development, hoping to attract the attention of Sergei. But Seryozha obviously did not understand what Boris meant.
After the two parted ways at the hotel, Yeltsin drove home in a special car. In the car, Yeltsin used the car phone to contact his wife Yeltsina. Instruct him to start preparing the dishes for the distinguished guests early tomorrow morning, and the distinguished guests from Moscow will come to the door tomorrow. Yeltsin is very prestigious at home, and his wife quickly agreed without asking further questions.
After hanging up the phone, Yelicina took out a pen and paper to list some things to buy tomorrow. Naturally, there will be a nanny at home to help her purchase tomorrow, but the dishes still have to be cooked by Yelicina herself to show sincerity.
Yeltsin sat in the car and reviewed all the conversations he had with Seryozha 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. Seryozha is the most popular person around Gorbachev recently. Yeltsin does not intend to use him only as a tool to obtain a new city for workers. Such a capable and young cadre will definitely become his future in Moscow. A big help.
