Seryosha spent about a week compiling a plan for the handover of the new workers' city, including the expenses and revenues of the entire workers' new city, the overall debt situation, and future planning plans.
The redemption of the National Bank will not begin until Gorbachev has found a suitable successor.
Almost shortly after Seryosha submitted the proposal to the Secretariat, it was reported within the Supreme Soviet and the Joint Council of Ministers that Gorbachev was looking for a new candidate to take over the project for the New City of Craftsmen.
Now the development of the new workers' city has gone far beyond what Seryosha envisioned, and it is really developing into a comprehensive urban area, not just a sleeping one.
In addition to modern residences with full facilities, there is also a shopping mall where you can easily buy foreign goods.
There are also many parks and recreational facilities around the workers' city, the largest playground in Moscow, the most modern theater, a primary school, a secondary school and a new campus of Moscow University, and even an artificial ski slope.
Far from the uniform living quarters of the Khrushchev era, it has become a fully functioning satellite city within Moscow.
At one point, the Moscow city government even considered upgrading it to a new administrative district of Moscow.
Clear-sighted people understand that the new head of the workers' new city project will be an excellent political springboard, and those who can get this position will definitely become the key training targets of the central government, and the previous head of this project, Seryosha, has already climbed to the rank of deputy minister at the age of 24, and even Secretary Gorbachev personally won for him the position of member of the Central Committee at the regular meeting of the Central Committee's personnel arrangements.
The cadres who were most enthusiastic about this post were naturally concentrated in the Central Committee.
The cadres who served as members of the Central Committee and alternate members of the Central Committee had one foot in the highest echelons of the Soviet political ecology, and most of them were the top officials at the state level in the republics of the Soviet Union, such as the secretary of the Gorky Oblast.
However, not all members of the Central Committee are eager for this position, those who have already taken refuge, and the Central Committee members of a certain bigwig are not very interested in the olive branch thrown by Gorbachev, and others who have reached retirement age are naturally not so eager, and only those Central Committee members who are eager to go further and have no background are the objects of Gorbachev's encirclement.
Yeltsin, the first secretary of the Sverdlovsk regional party committee, was one of those people, and after Yeltsin became a member of the Central Committee three years ago, at the age of 50, he was never able to go further in his career.
Yeltsin has been in the post of first secretary of the Sverdlovsk regional party committee for almost a decade, and Ryzhkov, who is only a year older, is now a member of the Politburo Standing Committee.
When Yeltsin became the first secretary of the Sverdlovsk region, Ryzhkov was still the general manager of the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant in the Sverdlovsk region, and he was just an industrial cadre, but Yeltsin would never have imagined that he would stand still for nearly ten years.
Now, every time Yeltsin saw Ryzhkov, his heart was filled with a lot of emotion and melancholy.
Yeltsin was always waiting for his chance, and after the staff in Gorbachev's office revealed that the workers' new city project would change hands, Yeltsin instinctively sensed that his opportunity had come.
Yeltsin knew all the backgrounds of the hundreds of members of the Central Committee, and although the competition seemed fierce on the Workers' New City project, Secretary Gorbachev had little choice when it came to removing the Central Committee members who bore the deep Brezhnev imprint on them, as well as those who had taken refuge in other courts.
And Yeltsin has an unparalleled identity and background among these people.
Yeltsin, a cadre born in the Sverdlovsk region, was born into a peasant family, and after graduating from high school, he was admitted to the architecture department of the Ural Polytechnic Institute.
After graduating from university, Yeltsin became an expert in construction engineering.
He has always worked in the construction department of the Sverdlovsk region, as well as in the building management of the Southern Urban Building Trust.
Before Yeltsin became the first secretary of the Sverdlovsk region, he was responsible for the industry and urban development of the Sverdlovsk region.
Over the past few decades, Yeltsin has gained a professional background and work background that he has acquired through conscientious study and work, and Yeltsin is absolutely confident that he will be able to prove to Secretary Gorbachev that he is definitely the most suitable candidate.
However, Yeltsin did not know how to clear the door of Secretary Gorbachev, because he had been working and living in the Sverdlovsk region, and after being elected as a member of the Central Committee, he only came to Moscow once a month, but Yeltsin still failed to accumulate many contacts and contacts in Moscow.
If this kind of initiative is not done in the way of officials whom Gorbachev absolutely trusts, it will have a bad impact.
Although Ryzhkov was a good door, Yeltsin could not pull his face to beg Ryzhkov anyway.
"It's difficult, if Ulyanov, the current head of the workers' new city, could recommend himself occasionally, this person is really capable, a few months ago when he was negotiating in Britain, he also helped the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant to obtain part of the steam turbine technology transferred by Alstom, which is one of the key technologies of the Soviet-European natural gas project," Yeltsin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Yeltsin, who was brainstorming while being melancholy, suddenly realized that the steam turbine project at the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant had already begun to be put into production, so he should also send an invitation letter to Comrade Ulyanov, the leader of this project, as long as he was invited to the Sverdlovsk region, and then find an opportunity to have a good relationship with him, then the workers' new city might really fall into his hands.
At that time, I can take advantage of the project of the workers' new city to go further in my career.
Thinking of this, Yeltsin immediately called the head of the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant and asked them to postpone the commissioning ceremony of the steam turbine for a few days.
Then he called his secretary and asked him to send an invitation letter to Comrade Ulyanov, assistant minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and chief negotiator of the Soviet-European gas project, in the name of the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant and the Sverdlovsk Oblast Party Committee, inviting him to attend the commissioning ceremony of the steam turbine project of the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant, and to sign Yeltsin's name at the end of the invitation. t1706231537:
