Chapter 395

With the end of the energy negotiations, the negotiating delegation from the Ministry of oil and gas industry and the Ministry of coal industry have returned home with fruitful results. Only the delegation from the Ministry of agriculture led by Xie liaosha continues to stay in London. This is not because the British did not cooperate in the agricultural negotiations, but because of the current situation of agricultural development in the Soviet Union. Because up to now, he has not found an effective way to rapidly increase the Soviet Union's grain production.

When it comes to agriculture in the Soviet Union, that's really a big problem. Although the Soviet Union had a vast territory, it did not have a suitable population, and the labor force engaged in agriculture was seriously insufficient. Coupled with the cold climate, the food crops in most areas of the Soviet Union can only be harvested once a year. It is very difficult to reform.

In addition to population constraints, climate was also a major challenge to agricultural production in the Soviet Union. A large cold wave is enough to destroy a whole year's harvest in an area. Most of the time, seeing the growing crops deprived by the merciless weather, those members engaged in agricultural production really want to cry without tears.

Now most of the Soviet Union has passed the time of sowing wheat and other crops, and the improvement that can be achieved by working hard on it is very little. In order to make achievements, Xie liaosha had to start with non-staple food. Therefore, Xie liaosha decided to cut off part of the profits from coal and natural gas trade as agricultural development funds. In addition to purchasing some agricultural machinery for Gennadi Tymoshenko's farm, he plans to focus on improving the production of crops such as fruits and vegetables and developing ocean fishing.

Xie liaosha plans to transplant greenhouse cultivation techniques to Moscow, Leningrad, Dnieper petrovsk and other major cities to improve the supply of non-staple food in these major cities. This is also the only measure Xie liaosha can take according to the actual situation.

Another place where Xie liaosha can make a difference is to develop the food processing industry. There is more room for us to play in this respect. Now the common people of the Soviet Union complain most about the single variety of goods supplied by the state-owned shops and the lack of change. In fact, the main crops in the Soviet Union are just a few, but if we can process them a little, we may be able to change people's dissatisfaction with the single variety of food to a certain extent. After all, potatoes can be processed into chips, potato cakes, chips, mashed potatoes, starch and so on. Although the raw materials of these things are still potatoes, they have increased varieties and improved taste after all.

In order to fully understand the current situation of non-staple food in western countries, Xie liaosha ordered to go down to London and search for all brands and varieties of food available in the market. Then let everyone taste one by one, and select some products that are suitable for the taste of the common people in the Soviet Union for in-depth research. Study whether the Soviet Union has the production capacity of this commodity and how much it costs. It can be said that Xie liaosha wants to use this clever way to temporarily change people's dissatisfaction with the single variety of food stores.

These things are cumbersome and complicated, and they can't be done in a single day. Xie liaosha left his subordinates in London for the time being. He wanted to go back to China and report his work to Secretary Gorbachev. In addition, he had to deal with the work of the Youth League Committee and the grain production bureau.

So she said goodbye to her new friends in London, and the bankers association even held a farewell party for her. Xie liaosha is grateful for this. He asked Karim to manage the sub-prime derivatives affairs on his own behalf. For this reason, Xie liaosha set up a small agency in London. After everything was arranged, seryosa returned to Moscow on a Soviet civil aviation flight.

When he returned to Moscow on Wednesday, he made an appointment with Gorbachev's staff the next morning to meet him. At the beginning, the staff told him that the secretary would preside over the regular meeting of the Central Secretariat, hoping to change the meeting time to the day after tomorrow. But just after Xie liaosha hung up the phone, Gorbachev's secretary called him and said, "Secretary Gorbachev hopes you will come to the White House early tomorrow morning. He invited you to attend the regular meeting of the Secretariat tomorrow, and you may be allowed to speak at that time. Please be prepared!"

After putting down the phone, Xie liaosha felt a little flattered. It was the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union! Every secretary in the office of the politburo is a high-ranking person in the Soviet Union. These people have the status and power next only to the members of the Politburo. Gorbachev wants to put himself on the fire!

Therefore, Xie liaosha did nothing that day and spent all his time sorting out the work summary of this period in Britain. For the first time, Xie liaosha spoke on such an important occasion, so he must be more careful.

The next morning, he arrived on time at the site of the highest Soviet office building, the White House. He had a thick leather bag in his hand, which contained some information that had been sorted out. Xie liaosha was soon taken to a small conference room upstairs.

Gorbachev's secretary sent him into the room. As soon as he entered the room, he found that the conference table was full of people. Gorbachev, sitting on the main seat of the conference table, saw that it was seliosha. He immediately stood up from his seat and walked to seliosha. He reached out his hand and said to Xie liaosha with a smile: "welcome back, Comrade Xie liaosha. You've worked hard this trip!"

"These are all tasks entrusted to me by the party, which I should do!" Xie liaosha replied humbly.

Gorbachev began to introduce his colleagues and subordinates to him after their greetings. There are nine secretaries in the Secretariat, each of whom, under Gorbachev's introduction, stands up and shakes hands with shariosha. From the moment he entered the door, he felt the change of Gorbachev's attitude towards himself. It is obvious that Gorbachev is very appreciative of himself now, and he also helped himself to arrange a speech at the regular meeting of the Secretariat. This is obviously paving the way for yourself! A young cadre who can speak in the Secretariat has a bright future no matter how he looks at it.

Xie liaosha hides his pride in his heart. He doesn't know whether the dispute between gromiko and Gorbachev has come to an end. In addition, what Xie liaosha is most concerned about is his speech later. He doesn't know what Gorbachev wants him to say at the meeting?
