Chapter 73: Gromyko's Counterattack
"Brother Boris, Professor Sobchak is my teacher. He has been working diligently in the head of the National Residential Bank. If you leave, where can I find such a capable person!" Sheryusha was excited and almost told everything about the foreign trade bank. Now this is a secret. Sheryusha doesn't want others to know that he is planning to plot against the Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
"Brother Seryosha, you also know that I have some experience in construction, and financing is not my strength. If you don't keep Professor Sobchak, if something goes wrong, how can I explain to Secretary Gorbachev!" Jeltsin complained.
...
Selyosci and Jeltsin argued for a long time over the Sobchak matter, but no one could convince anyone. In the end, Selyosci chose to give in. He would rather let Jeltsin owe him a favor than let Jeltsin have any ideas. After all, Jeltsin will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be
Selyosci's ultimate letting go made him lose the best candidate for the foreign trade bank, but Selyosci is not so regretful about this. After all, he now has a transnational commodity trading empire. The economists within his own hands are enough to give advice to foreign trade banks. Selyosci's ultimate goal is not to make foreign trade banks grow and grow. On the contrary, Selyosci was to use foreign trade banks as a breakthrough to master the Soviet commodity trade. The final result is that the foreign trade bank will become an insolvent shell before the disintegration. In fact, if a puppet can be placed in this position, it will be easier to implement Selyosci's plan smoothly. Sobchak may not be willing to help Selyosci do such things, and Selyosci also doubts whether Sobchak has the courage.
After ending the discussion about Sobchak's position with Yeltzin, Seriosha had dinner with Yeltzin before leaving. On the way back, Seriosha suddenly received a call from Gorbachev, asking him to go to the Supreme Soviet.
Seriosha felt a little strange. What was wrong with summoning him so late? Seriosha didn't dare to delay and immediately asked the driver to turn the front of the car to drive towards the highest Soviet. About half an hour later, Seriosha finally arrived at the White House where the highest Soviet was located. He came to Gorbachev's office with a familiarity, and soon the secretary took him in.
When Selyosha walked into the room, he found that the room was full of people, and Yakovlev also sat aside. When he saw Selyosha coming, he hurriedly waved his hand and asked Selyosha to sit over.
"What happened?" Xie Liaosha asked in a low voice.
"Don't mention it, I don't know what's going on. Gromiko got the budget report on the central bank's acquisition of the workers' new city. He was very dissatisfied with the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation taking such a large sum of money. He claimed that he would hand the money over to the treasury and use it uniformly by the state..." Yakovlev explained in a low voice. As soon as he finished talking about the cause of the matter, Selyosha stood up in anger, slapped the coffee table beside him, and shouted sternly: "Is there any other kingly law!"
Gorbachev and everyone in the room looked at Seriosha. Gorbachev said lightly: "Sheriosha, don't be excited, the matter has not been settled yet! Gromiko just exposed this matter to the Politburo and the General Secretary, and there is no conclusion yet!"
"Secretary, this matter is not only a matter of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Trade and the Communist Youth League. When we planned the workers' new city from scratch, we received a lot of money from the people in Moscow, Gorky and other places! Although the workers' new city has been taken away by the central bank, the debt is still left on the heads of our Communist Youth League and the Mediterranean Trading Company. Gromiko wanted to possess this money just to rely on the life savings of the people in Moscow who trust us..." Selyosha explained angrily.
"Seryosha, this matter is not something I can decide. I hope you can understand. Now I have summoned all my staff members who are familiar with the economy. I also notified Comrade Jeltsin that he would come here later. Secretary Chernenko stated that he wanted you and Gromiko to go to the General Hospital to explain to him in person. We have more than ten hours left, so we can help you find a solution!" Gorbachev personally poured a cup of coffee for Selesha and handed it to Selesha's hand and said.
Then Selyosci then understood why so many people came today. He first expressed his gratitude to everyone. Then Yakovlev began to convene everyone to discuss how to deal with General Secretary Chernenko tomorrow. Fifteen minutes later, Jeltsci also rushed here. Selyosci told Jeltsci roughly about the matter, and Jeltsci naturally stood on Selyosci's side.
"Seryosha, comrades, Secretary Gorbachev. I will only say one thing, if there is a problem with the redemption of the construction bonds of the Workers' New City, then how will our Workers' New City be financed? Now the Workers' New City is our key project in Moscow. Once there is a problem, there will be a large number of unfinished buildings in the future!" Jeltsin explained the truth of supporting Seleyosha from his own perspective.
"Secretary, there is a reason why we left this money. According to the original bond issuance contract, we are obliged to pay the interest and principal of the bonds at maturity. We must keep the money worthy and increase the value through trade. Now the central bank has only paid our part about the principal, and the interest part was originally paid through the rental income of the Workers' New City. At the beginning, the central bank said that the interest part has become the internal income of the Communist Youth League, so it is not included in the cost price of entering the Workers' New City. We have made sacrifices for the country. Do we have to let us go bankrupt?" Selyosha said excitedly.
Gorbachev listened quietly while rubbing the sun, without expressing any opinions. He felt that he was a little fluttering when he was in the UK. He thought Gromiko had really given up, but in fact he never forgot to attack you. Gorbachev was almost unprepared for this raid. Now he could only let his subordinates put together some countermeasures temporarily.
