Ye Kai and others did not stay in the Soviet Union for long, and set off on their return journey a week later.
There is a reason for this. The situation in the Soviet Union has reached a state where an arrow has to be fired. The brewing storm is about to break out. Li Er and Li Wu are both worried about Ye Kai's safety, so they report the matter to Uncle Li.
report.
Originally, Ye Kai wanted to stay in the Soviet Union for a while to see what opportunities there were in the chaos, but under everyone's urging, he had no choice but to return disappointed.
However, Zhang San and Li Si stayed. With General Dyanov and the others taking care of them, and the protection of the embassy, it is estimated that there will not be any big problems. After all, the center of the storm is in Moscow.
At the same time that Ye Kai boarded the plane to return home, the young Major Butt also boarded a large military transport plane to transport a large amount of arms to Africa and was about to start digging for the first pot of gold in Africa.
Ye Kai has no doubts about whether Major But can succeed immediately. Considering the current situation in Africa, Major But will be regarded as a distinguished guest by buyers and there will be no need to worry about the lack of market.
Zhang San and Li Si are the helpers who assist Major But in doing all these things. They are both outstanding in all aspects, including jewelry appraisal, etc. Ye Kai is very curious about where the second old man comes from.
To discover such talents.
After returning to the capital, Ye Kai was summoned by Mr. Ye for questioning.
"I told you to keep a low profile, why are you involved in the housework of Lao Hou's family again?" Mr. Ye asked when he saw Ye Kai.
It happened that Ziping had just arrived at the Political Bureau of the Central Committee for a meeting and was also here with the old man, sitting and talking with him.
Mr. Hou also has a relatively prominent status in the party and is relatively senior. Otherwise, Comrade Fang He would not have entrusted him with the daily affairs of the Advisory Committee.
Now, although Mr. Hou has completely retired and the Advisory Committee has reached its end, Mr. Hou's political influence is still there and he is a force that cannot be underestimated. Even if it is not as powerful as the Ye family, it is still quite powerful.
"It's a coincidence. If you don't take advantage of the opportunity you encounter, you will always have some regrets in your heart." Ye Kai's explanation for this was unclear.
"Many people know about Hou Laosan Hou Kang's matter." Ye Ziping said, "No one wants to cause this trouble. Xiaokai, you have made us a little passive."
"I don't think this should be understood this way." Ye Kai said flatly, "Hou Laosan has done a good job. This person is courageous in his work and dares to think and do. Haidong City needs great development. I would like to borrow from Hou Laosan."
The power of three can develop faster and better."
Mr. Ye nodded in agreement and said, "Well, if it is from this aspect, special promotion can also be considered. Work is work, and favors are favors. They cannot be confused. Otherwise, it will not comply with the party's cadre appointment principles. Some old comrades
There may be some ideas, but they are just a matter of personal anger and should not become a standard of reference in work. Many comrades in our party just cannot control this point, have soft ears, and are easily influenced by human feelings.
, often losing one’s own position, which is not good.”
Ye Kai nodded repeatedly after hearing this. The old man was the old man, and his perspective on the problem was indeed different from ordinary people.
Family matters are family matters and work is work. It is very inappropriate for you to bring your personal emotions to work.
Moreover, this matter is actually unfair to Hou Laosan.
However, could it be said that this matter would also bring some trouble to the old Ye family? Ye Kai was not sure.
"Let's put political matters aside for now, but from a work perspective, the two squad leaders and deputy squad leaders in Haidong City are older and less enterprising. They should be replaced by a younger and more capable squad leader," Ye Kai said.
"And in my conception, Haidong City also plays a very important role in the future large aircraft carrier strategy, and it should be constructed simultaneously so as not to delay the entire strategic deployment."
After hearing this, Ziping suddenly realized: "It turns out that your support of Hou Laosan is just a matter of face. You really want to control Haidong's power!"
Ye Kai smiled and said nothing, saying to himself that there is no good thing. Why should I jump up and down and be so active?
It's just that Ye Ziping is on the outside and doesn't know Ye Kai's overall plan, so it's natural that he can't sort out what he did in Haidong City.
On the contrary, Mr. Hou was scheming. When he first heard Hou Kang mention this matter, he understood that the Ye family planned to support Hou Kang, the third son of Hou, in exchange for control of the entire Haidong City.
Once Hou Laosan becomes the Secretary of the Haidong Municipal Party Committee, then the mayor must be someone nominated by the Ye family. In the future, Haidong City’s economic construction plan will definitely be realized according to the grand blueprint designed by the Ye family.
, what is the explanation behind this, although it is not very clear, but Mr. Hou can definitely guess that Ye Kai, the grandson of the old Ye family, will not lend a helping hand for no reason.
Haidong City is definitely a very important part of strategic planning for the old Ye family.
But Mr. Hou has no other choice. Although the location of Haidong City is important, it is not something that cannot be given up. After all, the most important thing is that his son can escape from this small place as soon as possible, not to mention the old Hou family.
Having been operating in Haidong City for a long time, the Ye family may not be able to easily mix sand into it.
"Xiao Kai's idea is still excellent, but we have to carefully consider the candidates." Mr. Ye said this, which definitely means he agreed with Ye Kai's suggestion.
Of course, when mixing sand, you must find a good sand specialist. Otherwise, it will be a waste of an opportunity, which would be a pity.
Ye Kai really didn't know much about the reserve force of the old Ye family. He was familiar with the situation in the family, but he had no impression of people not named Ye.
However, Ye Ziping thought about it for a while and then proposed a candidate: "How about Hou Mingyuan?"
"Hou Mingyuan?" Mr. Ye heard this, thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but laugh. "Ziping, your idea is not bad."
Ye Kai burst out laughing after hearing this, saying he didn't expect his father's trick to be so bad.
Ye Kai had heard about Hou Mingyuan, but he didn't know that he was from the old Ye family.
This person is only in his early forties now, but he has been at the department level for five years. He used to be the secretary of the municipal party committee in a prefecture-level city in Liao Province. He is very capable, and Liao Province also has the intention of promoting him.
, but the direction of promotion may be directly to the province.
However, the number of sub-provincial positions in the province was very limited, and a suitable one could not be found for a while, so Hou Mingyuan had no choice but to continue working as secretary of the municipal party committee.
Now there is an opportunity here in Haidong City. If the old Ye family pushes for it, the opinions in Liao Province are likely to be supportive, especially since Ye Kai's second uncle, Ye Zichu, is the chief of staff of the Liaodong Military Region and a lieutenant general.
The military rank has great influence there, which shows that the old Ye family also has a deep influence on Liaodong. If the old Hou family has no objections, then the problem of Hou Mingyuan serving as the mayor of Haidong will not be a big problem.
However, Hou Mingyuan's appointment as the mayor of Haidong also has some arguments.
In a place as big as Haidong City, if you write a book with the surname Hou, and a mayor with the surname Hou, what does that mean?
When the people who didn't know the truth saw it, they thought Haidong had completely become the domain of the old Hou family.
Even those who know the inside story may not necessarily understand this matter in a positive light, and may even distort it to add fuel to the flames. It will indeed have no good impact on the reputation of the Lao Hou family.
Ye Ziping glared at his son and explained to the old man, "The main reason is that Hou Mingyuan has enough qualifications, the right level, and good personal abilities. I think if he goes to Haidong, he can realize our long-term plan."
"Well, this is a must. Work ability is the first choice, and then everything else is considered." Mr. Ye Mou muttered, "You can't lose the opportunity for promotion just because of your surname. That kind of reason is untenable."
Those who engage in politics are those who engage in politics. Seeing the old man and his father discussing Hou Mingyuan's affairs in a serious manner, Ye Kai wanted to laugh in his heart.
However, as he said, Haidong City has a special location. If it cannot take the lead in development, it will definitely have a negative impact on the future large aircraft carrier strategy.
"How did you feel about going to the Soviet Union this time?" Mr. Ye suddenly asked.
The last time Ye Kai and Ye Ziping went to the Soviet Union together, Ye Kai encouraged Ye Ziping to publish an article analyzing the success or failure of the Soviet reform, which caused a strong stir in the domestic political arena. This time Ye Kai went to the Soviet Union again, but
Don’t know what benefits you can get?
It's just that Mr. Ye asked casually, not thinking that Ye Kai would gain anything new. As far as he knew, Ye Kai was here purely for business matters.
It's a pity that Ye Kai originally wanted to talk about this matter. Now that the old man is asking questions, he naturally wants to show off: "The problem in the Soviet Union is on the verge of breaking out, and Gorbachev can no longer suppress the situation."
This time I went over and met with General Dyanov who was in charge of KGB affairs in Kiev. I mentioned to him that a coup was brewing in the Soviet Union. As a result, he didn’t show any surprise at all. In fact, except for Gorbachev,
My husband has been kept in the dark, and many people already know that a coup is going to take place against him!"
"Is this really going to happen?" Mr. Ye and Ye Ziping were both shocked when they heard this. They did not expect that the situation in the Soviet Union had evolved to such a dangerous level.
Naturally, the situation in the Soviet Union was well understood in the country, and it was known that it was more dangerous, but he did not expect that Ye Kai actually revealed the news that the Soviet Union was about to undergo a coup. Could such a thing be leaked in advance? It is easy to suspect that this is fake news.
, so their surprise was not faked.
"Of course, the danger is already detonating. I estimate that something will happen in mid-to-late August." After thinking about it for a moment, Ye Kai pointed out the date and pointed to the powerful computer in the corner and said, "If nothing happens,
