Since Secretary Gorbachev was elected, the Central Committee has begun to call on leading cadres to go to the grassroots level more often to understand the problems of ordinary people in their daily lives. As the de facto head of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and the key training target www.biquge.info of the Central Committee of the CPSU, Seryosha naturally had to set an example in response to General Secretary Gorbachev's instructions. As a result, Seryosha's schedule included a lot of visits and research activities.

Seryosha didn't want to leave Moscow for show, because it really had a lot to deal with. Therefore, he usually visited some grassroots units in the Moscow region at will, and under normal circumstances, Seryosha only took a look at the situation and did not express his opinion or give instructions. When you come, you go around, and you leave immediately after reading it. It's a habit that even Nastya has mastered.

On this day, Seryosha was scheduled to go to the Frunze district of Moscow to inspect the supply of goods in the department stores there. As usual, he took his own car and took his close staff to the largest department store in Frunze on time.

As soon as Seryosha got out of the car, he looked up and saw a banner that read, "Welcome Minister Ulyanov to visit and guide." He frowned, didn't say anything, and then put on a smile on his face, and shook hands with the comrades who were waiting for his arrival one by one.

As is customary for such events, Seryosha is accompanied by the person in charge of the mall to visit the supply and sale of goods in the mall, and Seryosha asks a few casual questions. Finally, everyone took a group photo. Today is exactly this kind of arrangement, but because Seryosha is an official of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, he will focus on inspecting the sales of imported goods.

After some self-introduction, Seryosha got to know Valery, the manager of the department store who gave him a briefing today. After shaking hands with him, Seryosha walked into the largest department store in the Frunze region under the leadership of Valery and began today's activities.

"Minister Ulyanov, look at this, here are all the imports that we have purchased from some friendly countries, coffee from Vietnam, black tea from India, cameras from the GDR, ......" Valery led Seryosha to a display window, which was lined with goods imported from various countries of the socialist camp into the Soviet Union. The various texts and packaging look colorful and colorful, and there is a sense of exquisiteness.

Seryosha nodded, and when Valery finished speaking, he casually asked, "Which one do the customer comrades like the most?" ”

"Naturally, coffee and black tea are in short supply in our mall every month?" Valery replied humbly.

Seryosha turned around and said to Nastya behind him: "Write it down, and have the opportunity to communicate more about the import of these goods with their foreign trade officials in the future!" ”

Seryosha nodded to Valery and motioned for Valery to continue leading the way. Everyone took the elevator to the second floor of the department store, and Seryosha just glanced at it, and he already understood something in his heart.

It's the weekend! There are so few customers in the mall. It seems that this Valery is still not honest after all. However, Seryosha did not intend to expose him. Seryosha felt that in fact, this kind of visit was of little practical significance, in the department stores of Moscow, the supply of goods was always abundant, and if you really wanted to realize that the Ming and Qing dynasties should go to the newly built cities in the Far East, such as the Komsomolsk, it was definitely much more difficult than here.

Seryosha glanced at Valery meaningfully, since this guy didn't plan to tell the truth, Seryosha didn't plan to listen to him seriously, he was looking forward to going back early to deal with more important work.

"General Secretary, here are our fruits imported from Turkey, as well as some fresh food from the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea! It greatly enriches the table of our citizens of Moscow, and we ......"

"You fart!" Valery was there gushing and performing, when suddenly a voice came from a distance.

Seryosha looked for the source of the voice, an old man in a jacket and a hat, and you angrily said to Valery. Valery was extremely embarrassed by this situation, and he stood still, looking at Seryosha, and wondered if he wanted to continue.

The current scene is so embarrassing that the accompanying reporters don't know what to do, although this old man is obviously not coming for Seryosha, but in this case, Seryosha must stand up as the top leader present.

"Why is this old comrade so angry? Did the staff at the mall mess with you? Seryosha took the initiative to say enthusiastically to this old man who came out of nowhere. Seeing this, the staff of the mall hurriedly let go of the old comrade who was caught.

"I know who you are, you are the original secretary of the Youth League Committee! You have built a lot of houses for the common people, you are a good person! "The attitude of the old comrades towards Seryosha is very different, and the attitude is very enthusiastic.

"Let this comrade come and talk!" After Seryosha finished speaking, he took the initiative to walk over to the old comrade. A large group of people behind him, including Valery, who had just been scolded, hurried to follow.

"Minister Ulyanov......" Valery was just about to speak, but was stopped by Seryosha.

Seryosha ignored Valery no longer and turned to the old comrade and said: "Old comrade, do you have any opinions to say!" ”

"Minister Ulyanov, I just knew that you were coming to visit today, so I came here to reflect the problem. These department store bastards are all lying to you! With such a big department store, you can't buy anything at all now, because the goods are all bought by these bastards...... Woo! Before the old comrade finished his last sentence, Valery immediately covered the old comrade's mouth and prevented him from expressing his opinion! But Seryosha already understood what the other party meant.

"All right, Comrade Valery! Let this comrade say everything he wants to say! Seryosha persuaded.

Valery still wanted to quibble about something, but how dare Seryosha come here without he. had to reluctantly let go of the old man.

"Minister Ulyanov, don't look at the variety of goods here, I dare say that as soon as you leave here, the things here will be sent to the black market in Moscow. The only thing we customers can buy when we come here is expired food, and we can't buy anything even with food stamps and other shopping vouchers issued by the state......," the old comrade said angrily, and as he spoke, he took out a bunch of cans from his shopping bag and took a Seryosha to look at.

When Seryosha saw that the production date was actually several years ago, it could be regarded as an antique......
