Under Seryosha's arrangement, Gorbachev and Seryosha came to Denis's house as guests. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info This is a party that has nothing to do with politics, and the guests and hosts played a round of golf happily and relaxedly, and then had dinner together. And the common topic of conversation at dinner is probably only some experiences during World War II.

These topics were not familiar to Seryosha, who had finished all his work in England and was going to return home with Gorbachev. Seryosha contacted his subordinates by phone in advance and asked about the progress of the handover of the workers' new city. Now it seems that everything can end before Christmas. As for the matter of the National Housing Bank, I am afraid that it will have to be delayed until after the Thanksgiving Day.

Shortly after the visit to Thatcher's home, Seryosha returned home on Gorbachev's plane. When he got off the plane, Seryosha was still in a good mood. At least he didn't have a whole bunch of work to deal with. Moreover, the Mediterranean Trading Company suddenly had on its books a large sum of money from the Workers' New City project, even though it was a credit asset on the Mediterranean Trading Company's books. Therefore, this money could be circulated only among enterprises within the USSR.

The first thing Seryosha did when he returned home was to visit his father Petrov, who was like father and son. Seryosha's business is now getting bigger and bigger, and almost all the brothers who remain in the country are Boris. This makes this year's New Year seem very deserted.

Papa Petrov has been dealing with some personnel matters all this time. Some of the old courtiers in the gang need to leave the Gorky gang because of their personal ability and age, but this kind of thing is inevitable in any gang, although it is a little unsatisfying, but it is necessary.

The Gorky Brotherhood is not short of money now, and it is naturally more humane to do this kind of thing. Papa Petrov was an experienced man, and he knew that if he gave the money to these big-spending accustomed guys at once, they would definitely spend it all. Therefore, it is better to find them some serious livelihood to do.

Papa Petrov asked these people to make a living in their hometown by opening a small restaurant, tavern or café or something. As a place for them to settle down after retirement, in addition, Petrov will give them a pension every month, although the money is not much, but there is more than enough to live. Daddy wanted this to be an institutional placement of the old members of the Gorky Brotherhood.

When Seryosha came home, his father was dealing with these things. Seryosha was no longer in a position to show up inside the gang, so he walked quickly into the study to rest for a while. After Daddy's side has dealt with it almost, he will naturally come to him.

Many of the books in the study were tomes read by the cadres, and no one had been in here for a long time since Seryosha left for England. Seryosha saw a book called "American Notes" on the table, and picked it up casually.

This book is actually the work of the current general secretary Chernenko, which is a theoretical study material within the party issued by the organization, and when you turn the first page, Chernenko's photo of his youth is printed on it, and it looks quite handsome. Seryosha roughly skimmed through the table of contents, and immediately lost interest in reading. The whole book is about ideology.

"Anyway, after taking over as the first secretary of the Communist Youth League in the future, theoretically there must always be two brushes! These theoretical works, more or less need to know something! ”

With Seryosha in mind, he opened the preface, intending to get a general idea of the main content of the book. From the preface, it appears that the book is a reminder to the cadres to prevent the corrosive influence of bourgeois liberalization ideas on the Soviet Union. And the idea of this book is to know oneself and one's opponent, and win all battles. This is also the origin of the name "American Notes".

"Seryosha, you can be regarded as coming back, I thought you were planning to stay in England and not come back!" Daddy Petrov pushed open the door and said jokingly.

"How's that, Daddy! I think about your craft every day in England! Seryosha put down his book and stood up and replied.

"That's right, we'll have a good meal in the evening! I've recently come up with a few new dishes, just in time for you to try them for me! Daddy hugged Seryosha and patted him on the back and said.

During the meal, Seryosha asked casually: "Dad, how are you doing with the placement of your old subordinates?" ”

"Seryosha, I always feel that it is unreliable to open a restaurant or tavern for them! Look at the long queue in front of the butcher shop now, how difficult it is to buy some meat. You can't open a steakhouse unless you go to the black market and buy high-priced meat! Let's see if you're going to solve it! Daddy replied, munching on the steak.

"Dad, the purchase volume of these people's stores can't even use a container a month, and these small stores are scattered all over the place! It's really impossible to let Mediterranean Trading Company be a supplier! If they don't go to the store and make a different living, I might be able to help them! Seryosha pointed out the problem pointedly.

"What do you have in mind, tell me about it?" Daddy asked curiously.

Seryosha forked the cherry tomato next to the steak as a side dish with a fork, pointed at it and said to his father: "Daddy, how about you let them open a fruit farm, most of the fresh vegetables and fruits in our country are imported, and the price is not cheap!" ”

"That's because it's winter, it's snowy. That is to say, cadres like you can eat fresh fruits and vegetables every day, and ordinary people rely on beets and potatoes to survive the winter! Daddy shook his head and said.

"No, Daddy! In fact, in foreign countries, fresh fruits and vegetables can be produced all year round through scientific means! This is a good business, but not many people in the country know about it, plus the government has no money, and it can't find enough labor! That's why it didn't be promoted! The Ministry of Agriculture has funding for it, and if they want to, I can say hello to my old subordinates at the Ministry of Agriculture! Seryosha raised his glass and touched it with his father, then drank it all.

"You have a lot of ways, but I can tell you, these people are all guys who are used to knives and guns, and it's not easy for them to farm honestly!" Dad still added with some unease.

"They can recruit a few workers as employees, and as long as things are produced, they don't have to worry about sales at all!" Seryosha patted his chest and reassured.
