Chapter 120: Drink

Manturov's appointment as First Deputy People's Commissar for Construction was not an accident, it was not a hasty decision, and no one regarded him as a temporary replacement. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In terms of experience, Manturov was no match for another deputy People's Commissar of Construction, Eugene (who later became the first deputy People's Commissar of Construction). Eugene has worked in the Ministry of Heavy Industry and the Ministry of Fuel Industry, and has held key positions in different industrial enterprises before, so he is very familiar with industrial construction work. So in the history that we are familiar with, Eugene was able to rise to the rank of First Deputy People's Commissar.

And what about Manturov? In just two years, he built Novosibirsk Oblast into one of the most productive and industrially productive regions in the country.

This kind of ability, such a successful experience, cannot be cultivated in ten or twenty years in the industrial sector. In terms of successful construction experience, Manturov is clearly more "sophisticated" than anyone else, but if you count it by years, it will definitely be a loss.

In addition to his successful experience, he also has the "creativity" that young people often have. He "invented" and applied new steelmaking technology, which greatly improved the production quantity and quality of local iron and steel enterprises, and also "invented" prefabricated apartments, increased the supply of houses, and solved the housing problem of local people.

In addition to "inventing" new technologies, he also "discovered" gold deposits in the Novosibirsk region and "discovered" oil-producing regions in the middle reaches of the Ob River, fully demonstrating his knowledge of the Siberian region.

These achievements earned him the Order of Lenin and made him the first person in the Soviet Union to receive the title of "Hero of Socialist Labor".

The experienced and engineering-minded People's Commissar for Construction, Ginsburg, and the creative and planning First People's Commissar for Construction, Manturov, form a complementary combination.

………………………………

In Moscow in mid-November, the temperature has dropped below freezing.

On the streets, people are already dressed in warm clothes. People from the warmer regions of the south wore a thick coat to protect them from frost. Even people from Siberia, or the cold regions of the north, add a coat.

As soon as he walked into the door of the Moscow Hotel, a warm air rushed to his face, and a gentle, warm female voice reached his ears: "Comrade Manturov, can you have a drink with me?" ”

"Comrade Ustnova?" Manturov looked at the blonde beauty in a short red dress in front of him and said, "What do you want me to drink with you?" Vodka is exempt, beer and kvass can also be considered. ”

"Comrade, you can drink whatever you like, I just want to talk to you." Veronica Ustnova said, twisting her body.

Veronica wore a short red tight-fitting skirt that was perfectly trimmed to a woman's unique lines, revealing her seductive, fair-skinned legs. The bumpy part was so big that it almost had two holes in the upper part of the skirt.

"Aren't you hot, comrade? It's so warm in the hotel, and you still have so many clothes in it? Veronica asked, shaking her glass of wine.

The temperature in the hotel room had reached more than 20 degrees due to the heating, but Manturov was still wearing the black suit coat. "It's not hot."

Veronica glanced at Manturov and asked, "It's really not hot?" ”

"The body is mine, I know whether I am hot or not." Manturov remembered the situation when he had just been in the conference room, and he was in a-for-tat confrontation with the beautiful woman in front of him. "Also, I am in charge of the Novosibirsk region, and I know the labor force and population figures very well in it, so I don't need to be reminded of it."

Veronic smiled charmingly and said, "Of course I know, you are the secretary of the state party committee, and of course you know the situation in the state better than me. In fact, you are more prepared than we do, and your workforce is growing faster than ours. ”

Manturov sat down, took a sip of kvas, and said: "Then why did you just say that we were not well prepared? Why refute our plans from the direction of surplus labor? ”

Veronica shook her glass and said, "I am not wrong about the fact that you do not have a lot of surplus labor, but you can make up for it by the foreign labor of your Novosibirsk region and the labor brought in by local graduates, as you said at the end."

Also, you have built only one small refinery on the banks of the Ob River, which is not enough to cope with the massive increase in the supply of crude oil after the completion of the pipeline.

Although on our side of Tyumen there is not a single decent oil refining facility. We are obviously not as well prepared as you are in terms of supporting facilities.

But for this project, we have invited a lot of talents, and selected a group of workers who will work in the refinery in the future, and provide them with training related to refining production. Your academic institutions have trained a large number of engineers, but there is still a lack of skilled workers. ”

"I see, it seems that you are very serious about this plan."

Veronica looked at Manturov's mature and youthful face and said: "Of course, we pay attention to the fact that the population of our city of Tyumen is not large, the economy is not developed, the financial resources of the government are relatively small, and the people's life is not very good. ”

"So, you are trying to develop the oil industry in Tyumen as a way to improve the local economy, raise government taxes, and use these revenues to raise the level of local development?"

"That's right. I'm going to develop Tyumen into a second Stalingrad! No! It's a better city than Stalingrad. Veronica imagined her vision of the future of Tyumen. Outside the city, new large factories will be built, and the people of the city will live in magnificent, spacious apartment buildings.

In the future, there will be two beautiful causeways on both sides of the Tula River, planted with all kinds of flowers and trees, where people walk, children play, and couples fall in love.

Hopefully this will happen in the future. ”

"Maybe." Manturov gave a positive response, hoping that Veronica could use the resources from the oil industry to realize her development plans. This plan had no disadvantages for the people, and Manturov's position was always on the side of the Soviet people, and there was no reason to oppose it.

"I'm sorry." Veronica took a sip of French wine and said, "Comrade, I didn't speak very well just now, but this plan is too important for us, I hope you can forgive me." ”

Manturov smiled kindly, as if he had forgotten the battle of words in the conference room of the Ministry of Oil, and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter anymore. The important thing is how we should build this pipeline and how we will develop a large-scale oil refining facility in Tyumen. ”

"We?" Veronica's pearly eyes gave rise to a look of confusion.

Manturov did not directly tell the truth about his promotion, but said: "Yes, I also participated in the construction of oil refining facilities and pipelines in Tyumen City. ”

"Why? Aren't you the secretary of the Novosibirsk Regional Party Committee? ”

"I still am, but soon I won't."

"Not soon? What position will you hold? ”

"First Deputy People's Commissar for Construction."
