This Chebyshev recommended by Rubik, Yakov was not very impressed with him.
For none of Yakov's capable subordinates who were trusted did not follow him to make a fortune in Italy.
I will definitely not send them to Africa no matter what.
However, since this was requested by Rubik on his own initiative, Yakov will not refute Rubik's face, at most he will send one more person to Colombia.
After Yakov and Yuri summoned Rubic over to finalize the matter, they set out to contact Escobar in Colombia.
Seryosha also called to inquire about this matter, which made both Yakov and Yuri feel very abnormal.
In fact, Seryosha is in a bit of trouble right now, and since Chernobyl, the central finances of the Soviet Union have suddenly become strained.
In order to ease the financial pressure on the central government, Ligachev, the secretary of the Secretariat in charge of the economy, began to reach out to the ministries and commissions below.
For several years, bureaucracy and hedonism have been prevalent in Soviet officialdom, and the daily expenses of various departments have been increasing.
In addition, Gorbachev opened up a part of the field for economic reform.
In order to expand their financial resources, many ministries and commissions have used their power to support some of their own tertiary companies.
On the one hand, these companies can arrange for some of their own related customers to have a decent job, and more importantly, they can earn profits for their own department and use them as a small treasury within the department.
It's almost an open secret.
For example, the fishery department focused on caviar, a special product of the Soviet Union, and although during the Andropov period, there was a case of the fishery department and the Soviet navy jointly smuggling caviar, but under the condition that the Soviet Union had never engaged in a market economy, I am afraid that even Gorbachev could not tell whether the fishery department should be blamed in the process of reform.
How could there be only one fishery department doing such a thing, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Oil and Gas Industry, the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, the Ministry of Automobile Industry in the USSR were all doing the same thing.
However, these departments have never been able to bypass Seryosha's Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.
Ligachev, who was now worried about financial problems, wanted to rectify these enterprises under the name of the ministry and bring their management and profits into the central treasury of the Soviet Union.
This was tantamount to weaning the various ministries and commissions of the Soviet Union, and the first to bear the brunt of the blow was Seryosha's Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.
Although Seryosha is now only a deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, everyone knows that Seryosha is in charge of this department.
The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation was definitely the richest among the ministries and commissions of the Soviet Union, and Seryosha now firmly grasped the two major financial resources of the Soviet Union, the Foreign Trade Bank and the Mediterranean Trading Company.
Whether it is cotton from the Ministry of Agriculture, electrolytic aluminum from the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, or resource products from the Ministry of Oil and Gas Industry, they are all inseparable from the foreign trade exports of the Soviet Union under the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.
And one of the most technical steps in this is the question of how to settle the foreign exchange after the export of these products, whether to transfer all the money to the corporate credit books of the Central Bank of the USSR, or to set aside a part of the cash from the Foreign Trade Bank and hand it directly to the small coffers of these departments, all of which are a matter of Seryosha's words.
Now Ligachev wants to take everyone to the knife, and the ministers of several ministries and commissions who are not willing to just forget it all ran to Seryosha.
Together, they discussed how to deal with Ligachev.
But when they arrived here, they saw someone they never expected.
He was Yeltsin, the first secretary of the Moscow City Party Committee.
"Why is Secretary Yeltsin here?"
When these ministers saw Yeltsin, they thought that Ligachev had already known about everyone's small movements and specially sent Yeltsin to discipline everyone.
Seeing this, Seryosha hurriedly beckoned everyone to sit down, and then said: "Don't be afraid, Secretary Yeltsin and we have the same problem, and Ligachev wants to stop the project of the new workers' city in Moscow" Needless to say, Seryosha knows what is going on.
The contradiction between Ligachev and Yeltsin has not been a day or two, and with a slight mention of Seryosha, everyone understands why Yeltsin is here today.
"Since everyone has arrived, I will first say a few words that I still support Secretary Ligachev's ideas, but Secretary Ligachev is in the Central Committee, and there are some specific issues that he may not know very well, or he may be deceived by the people around him As members of the CPSU, we all have the responsibility to point out these problems for Comrade Ligachev, so everyone gathered together today not to speak against the Central Committee, but to collectively report to the Secretariat of the Central Committee on issues of common concern.
Truthfully reflect the problem to Secretary Ligachev and Secretary Gorbachev.
Seryosha brought these ministers together and first set the tone for the meeting, lest someone betray everyone in the future and give Ligachev an excuse.
"Okay, let me talk first" Yeltsin, who was sitting in the main seat, waited for Seryosha to finish his opening remarks, and then asked to speak, he looked at everyone present, basically the first and second leaders of the Soviet domestic industrial sector, and most of them had business dealings with Seryosha, such as the Ministry of Automobile Industry, their products are now sold to South America, and they still occupy the local market, while in the past, Soviet cars could only be sold to Eastern Europe and other countries of the socialist camp, and even a large part of them were exported as aid.
Earning so much forex like this would have been unimaginable in the past.
Whose credit is all this, isn't it Seryosha "The new workers' village project is a major project in the country, and it is related to the housing of thousands of families in Moscow.
I don't think it's fair to postpone the entire project indefinitely just because of a temporary financial problem, for the citizens of Moscow who are looking forward to their new home.
I would like to point out that although the previous phases of the Workers' New Town were funded by the state, most of the funds in the current Workers' New Town come from social financing.
If we stop like this, the citizens who have bought the bonds for the construction of the workers' new city will not agree, so on the issue of the workers' new city, on behalf of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, I would like to make a statement, we do not agree with the Central Committee Secretariat to mess around like this," Yeltsin said solemnly.
Seryosha looked at everyone with a smile, and with Yeltsin's brick-throwing lead, everyone agreed, but still no one took the initiative to speak, and Seryosha quietly gave a look to the comrades of the Ministry of Automobile Industry at this time, and the other party then raised his hand to join the ranks of denouncing Ligachev's policy. t1706231537:
