During Seryosha's stay in the Sverdlovsk region, Seryosha was invited to a world economic summit to be held in New York.
It was a high-level economic conference with distinguished economists, business leaders, and financial officials.
Originally, there was nothing to do with this kind of activity by Soviet officials, but as a series of concepts such as asset securitization and debt securitization gradually became new hot spots in the financial market, Seryosha, as the inventor of subprime mortgage products, was fortunate to be invited this year.
According to the organizational procedures of the Soviet Union, the visit of a deputy ministerial official was required to apply to the Supreme Soviet.
Therefore, after receiving the invitation, the Office of the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation immediately submitted an application to the Supreme Soviet.
This matter was inadvertently reported to General Secretary Chernenko by the secretary of General Secretary Chernenko when he reported on his work, and at this time the General Secretary was recuperating in the hospital due to physical discomfort, but he was keenly aware that this might be an opportunity, so at the behest of the General Secretary, the matter was concealed from Foreign Minister Gromyko and only Secretary Gorbachev was notified.
Chernenko had a position on this matter, since relations between the United States and the Soviet Union have been very tense since Andropov took office.
Official exchanges between the two countries have been interrupted for a long time, and this time the US economic conference, which was requested by Shelio, was another high-level meeting, attended by the US Department of Commerce, the Department of Trade, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the chairman of the Federal Reserve.
General Secretary Chernenko believes that this is a rare opportunity to get in touch with the US government.
Given Gromyko's consistently hawkish claims.
Chernenko, who was eager to improve relations between the United States and the Soviet Union and shifted his focus to economic construction, decided to go to Gorbachev to discuss this matter without Gromyko, after all, Seryosha was his man.
The last time Seryosha negotiated with the British government, Seryosha was in the limelight, and Chernenko and some other high-ranking Kremlin officials have recognized his ability, and General Secretary Chernenko is looking forward to Seryosha being able to use the opportunity of this economic meeting to create another miracle.
Therefore, he and Gorbachev reached a private agreement to let Seryosha attend the meeting in an official capacity rather than a private capacity, forcing American officials to sit down and negotiate with Seryosha in an attempt to ease the current tension between the two countries.
After Seryosha and Yeltsin returned to Moscow, Seryosha asked Korolev, who had previously been in charge of the workers' new city project, to give Yeltsin a detailed briefing on the actual situation of the workers' new city, and then Seryosha invited Yakovlev and Yeltsin to meet at his home.
As long as Yakovlev knew about this, he would neither refute Seryosha's face, nor hide Yeltsin's intentions from Gorbachev.
With Yakovlev as an intermediary who knew about this before Gorbachev, then Gorbachev would not suspect that they were colluding without permission from the leadership.
Seryosha was called to the Kremlin by Gorbachev the day after his return.
Under the watchful eyes of General Secretary Chernenko, Gorbachev explained to Seryosha the task of taking the opportunity of attending international economic conferences to make contacts with US economic officials.
Seryosha was extremely surprised by this, and he did not believe that the objective conditions for a US-Soviet détente now existed.
But since General Secretary Chernenko has come forward, it means that this matter is not what Secretary Gorbachev meant.
"If there is anything to contact me directly, be careful not to let the comrades of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs know about this matter," Gorbachev carefully admonished Seryosha.
Seryosha could not explain the difficulty of this matter in front of the general secretary, but as long as he agreed, he must undertake this task.
Seryosha is not allowed to refuse at all in this matter, unless he resigns from the post of assistant minister of foreign trade and economic cooperation.
So Seryosha nodded very dryly, and this time Gorbachev gave him another problem.
Seryosha left with Gorbachev, the two left the Kremlin in the same car, and on the way Gorbachev sincerely apologized to Seryosha, Seryosha naturally did not dare to be, but tactfully told Gorbachev that he was not sure that this matter would be done.
"Seryosha, things are not what you imagined, there must be a result, as long as the Americans can change their attitude towards us, and contact with us is a victory, even if it cannot be done, at least let the Gromyko people think that you have done it, only in this way will the comrades think that we have mastered the communication channels between the United States and the Soviet Union," Gorbachev whispered to Seryosha in a face-to-face manner.
Seryosha immediately understood what Secretary Gorbachev meant, and this matter was proposed by General Secretary Chernenko, who hoped that Seryosha would create a new channel of communication between the two countries, and Secretary Gorbachev hoped that the comrades in the party would think that Seryosha would give the two countries a new channel of communication.
These are fundamentally two different concepts.
The former is an almost impossible task, and then life is like a drama all depends on acting skills.
After comprehending this meaning, Seryosha immediately put his heart in his stomach.
Seryosha did not return to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation until the afternoon, and he asked Nastya to arrange for her to fly to the United States as soon as possible.
This time, Seryosha decided to go to the meeting alone, and did not intend to bring any entourage with him from China.
The organizers of the conference had already arranged a place for him to stay, and Seryosha never imagined that it would be the Plaza Hotel in New York.
Seryosha didn't know anything about the past history of the Plaza Hotel, but he at least knew that the Plaza Agreement was signed at the Plaza Hotel, but when it was signed, Seryosha had no memory.
At the request of the organizing committee, Seryosha was required to speak at the economic summit forum, and he handed over the draft of the speech to the Glencore experts, who focused all his attention on how to break the trade ice for the Soviet Union.
Objectively speaking, this is indeed a rare opportunity to get in touch.
The global economic situation is now sluggish, and all countries except Japan are suffering from a slowdown or even a recession.
The United States is not having a good time, on the one hand, the economies of the Soviet Union and the United States are declining, and on the other hand, there is a big arms race on both sides.
In fact, if the current economic growth rate is put in 30 years, the governments of Europe and the United States will even feel very satisfied, but now it is not possible, everyone has not yet recovered from the high growth of industrialization, and has not yet become accustomed to it.
After a long flight, Seryosha landed at the airport in New York exhausted, and Seryosha secretly decided in his heart that he must develop the 144 into a real commercial supersonic passenger aircraft to meet the needs of his future visits. t1706231537:
