The next morning, Yeltsin personally drove to the city government guest house to pick up Seryosha.
It was a private meeting, so both sides were dressed somewhat casually.
Yeltsin wore a white short-sleeved shirt with no tie.
Seryosha scurried a plaid shirt and carried a gift box in his hand.
According to Russian rules, when visiting someone's house, you always have to bring some gifts, such as alcohol or cooked food.
Seryosha sent someone to buy two bottles of good wine in the foreign trade store last night as a gift for the first time, and Yeltsin did not shirk this.
Along the way, Yeltsin and Seryosha in the passenger seat chatted with each other, from the lace news in Moscow to the places of interest in Sverdlovsk, from the mistress of Ivan the Terrible to the face of Catherine, from hunting to fishing, the two found a lot of common topics.
But there was no talk of politics or work.
Yeltsin was still tempting, while Seryosha was afraid that he would cause unnecessary trouble by slipping the tongue.
The car soon drove along the city's main road to the outskirts.
According to the portrayal of the Soviet Union.
The best life is that each family can have two houses, one in the suburbs in the city, one in the city for weekdays, and on the rest day you can go to the suburbs to relax in a holiday villa.
It is not known when the workers will receive this kind of treatment, but the leading cadres, especially those at and above the ministerial level, have enjoyed this treatment.
As the No. 1 villa in Sverdlovsk, Yeltsin lived in the best villa in the Sverdlovsk region.
The villa is located on the banks of the Iset River, and not only does the house belong to the Yeltsin family, but also a large forest around the house and a river in front of the house are also considered to belong to the Yeltsin family.
As the car drove into the asphalt path in the forest, Seryosha suddenly remembered his home in Gorky, which he had not been back to for a long time and did not know what was going on with the house The car stopped directly in front of the courtyard of Yeltsin's holiday villa, and Seryosha and Yeltsin got out of the car.
His wife Yeltsinva, daughters Yelena and Tatyana came out of the house together to welcome Seryosha.
Yeltsin hugged his daughters as he walked by and kissed them on the cheeks.
Yeltsin's daughters were all adults, and after Yeltsin's introduction, Seryosha discovered that Yeltsin's youngest daughter, Tatyana, was actually the same age as himself.
It's summer at the moment, and an outdoor barbecue is certainly a good option.
After greeting Yeltsin's family, Seryosha put down the vodka he had brought and went fishing with Yeltsin and other boats.
On the sparkling surface of the river, Seryosha and Yeltsin rowed the boat to the center of the river.
The two sat back to back in the boat, set up the fishing rods, and then opened a bottle of beer and waited for the fish to take the bait, while drinking and chatting.
At this moment, the surroundings are quiet and the breeze is blowing, and it is definitely a good time to talk about things.
Mr.
Yeltsin gradually turned the conversation to work, and he began to ask Seryosha about his experiences in England, until Seryosha talked about his time in England when he was troubled by agricultural projects at home.
Yeltsin finally found a good starting point for the topic, and he asked Seryosha: "Brother Seryosha, how did you arrange your successor when you left the Ministry of Agriculture, after all, you still have some plans and arrangements that have not been put into practice, if the new grain bureau Zhang completely rejects your plan, then your hard work during this time will not be in vain?"
"Yes, Brother Boris, I also thought about this at the time, when I left the Gorky League Committee and went to Moscow, I was in a hurry because of poor consideration, so when I left the Ministry of Agriculture, I recommended Korolev of the Moscow trade union as my successor, we worked together for some time in the workers' city, I know Comrade Korolev very well, I know him very well, I know him not to overturn my plan," Seryosha explained to Yeltsin.
"Did the Ministry of Agriculture agree with your recommendation?"
Yeltsin asked.
"I think I accepted it, just a few days ago I heard that Korolev's personal relations have been transferred to the Ministry of Agriculture," Seryosha replied.
"Seryosha, I heard some rumors when I was in Moscow, and I don't know if it's true or not.
I heard that your workers' new city project is also going to be handed over to someone else to do, is this true?"
Yeltsin took the opportunity to turn the topic to the workers' new city project, and began to ask straight to the point.
"The central government does have this kind of idea in this matter, but the workers' new city is too big, where will it find a suitable successor for a while," Seryosha replied matter-of-factly.
"Have you ever thought that if the successor to the workers' new city project did not continue according to your plan, but changed or even overturned your plan at will, if this is the case, your years of hard work will be ruined," Yeltsin said otherwise.
"I don't expect the new workers' city to be handed over to the state and still be implemented according to our original plan.
After all, the central government has to decide on the candidates, and I only have the right to make suggestions at most, not the right to decide," Seryosha said helplessly.
"Seryosha, you can take the initiative and recommend some familiar comrades to the Central Committee, preferably with a working background or even an educational background in municipal construction and industrial construction, after all, you must make the best use of your resources and make the best use of your talents?"
Yeltsin looked at Seryosha seriously, and said with a solemn and serious expression.
"Brother Boris, do you intend to take over the follow-up development of the new city of Moscow" Seryosha already knew in his heart, he finally understood why Yeltsin was so enthusiastic about him, and his feelings were to ask Seryosha to recommend him to Gorbachev to be the successor of the new workers' city "Seryosha, I think my professional and work experience are the best successors for this project, I dare not say, at least if I have the opportunity to take over the new city of workers, I will respect the fruits of your labor, and will not overturn your future plans for the new city of workers" Yeltsin sincerely and seriously assured Seryosha, who said that Seryosha was a little moved.
Although Seryosha was most concerned about state compensation after the workers' new village was handed over, if the new successor could respect his own opinion, Seryosha would of course favor those who kept the existing plan for the workers' new village.
Moreover, Yeltsin himself made Seryosha simply unable to refuse.
"Brother Boris, I can't think of anyone better than you to be in our workers' new city," Seryosha agreed happily after understanding Yeltsin. t1706231537:
