Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, is also the political, economic, scientific, cultural and transportation center of the Russian Federation.Moscow was founded in 1147 and has a history of more than 800 years. With a population of nearly [-] million, it is one of the world's megacities and the largest city in Europe.Gorky Street is the main artery of the city and the most prosperous street.In the middle of Gorky Street, there is a six-story typical Russian-style building full of antiques. This is the headquarters of ALROSA, which is well-known in the world's diamond industry.
Chepchugov, the general manager of ALROSA, was walking towards the party secretary's office at this time, greeting the passing staff from time to time along the way.If you are not an employee of ALROSA, I am afraid it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine that this fat man who looks shorter than ordinary Russians will be the second in command of ALROSA.
As Chepchugov walked, he wondered why Rambras had called him to the party office.Rambras, secretary of the party committee of ALROSA, is well-deserved leader, but under normal circumstances, he doesn't often intervene in the company's business affairs.
"General manager, please come in. The secretary is waiting for you in the room." Ramblas' secretary stood up and greeted him graciously.
Chepchugov smiled and pushed open the door. Ramblas's office was [-] to [-] square meters, and there was a row of large bookcases against the wall, which were filled with various books.In the middle are two sets of sofas and a large coffee table. Behind the large desk in one corner, Ramblas, who has already bald, is looking at the documents.Hearing the sound of the door, he raised his head.
"Comrade Chepchugov, are you coming soon?" Ramblas smiled, "Sit down, what do you want to drink? Sugar or honey?" Muscovites like to drink black tea with sugar or honey. There are not a few people who love coffee.
Chepchugov also smiled and said: "Of course it is according to your taste, secretary." Rambras laughed, and soon the beautiful female secretary brought black tea with honey and returned it. go out.Ramblas got up from behind his desk and sat on the sofa opposite Chepchugov.
"Comrade Chepchugov, I called you here because I want to discuss something with you." Rambras is good at this, and rarely talks to you like some leaders do. For a long time, you have to spend your brain trying to figure out what his intentions are.Chepchugov quickly took out a notebook and a pen from his clothes—this is also the tradition of Rambras, his conversations must be recorded by his subordinates, so as not to look back and make excuses for forgetting.
"Comrade Chepchugov, you don't need to remember this conversation," Rambras waved his hand and said in satisfaction.Since the incident two years ago, which not only harmed the payment made by De Beers Consolidated Mining Company to the company, but also took away [-] million rubles from the company and fled to the United States, the authority of Ramblas in Alrosa Company has been No one can compare.Although the newly promoted Chepchugov is the second in command of the company, he is very knowledgeable.
"I got the news that the Japanese businesswoman who signed a mining license with the Amur State Government in the Far East of Siberia a few days ago, at the invitation of Minister Mikhail Royle of the Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, went to Yakutia. Kutsk city visit, and she proposed to visit our company’s branch in the Republic of Yakutia, and Nikolasky has already had contact with the other party.” When receiving Nikolasky, Rambras’s The voice paused slightly.
Of course, Chepchugov already knew the news. This poor Nikolasky's son actually injured the son of the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Russia, Waldzev, and his good days were coming to an end.Chepchugov was wondering who could take over the post after Nikolaisky was imprisoned.Of course, this needs to be approved by Ramblas.
Although Chepchugov is happy to see Nikolasky's predictable downfall, after all, in the company, among these vice presidents, Nikolasky has the oldest qualifications and the greatest influence. Sometimes he has to take care of his emotions when doing things.Rather than pointing fingers at will like others.However, he also has to admit that if Nikolaski resigns, he will definitely be affected a lot by managing the production base of ALROSA. It may be difficult for the successor to be like Nikolaski in a short time. satisfactory.
"The company's finances have not improved in the past two years. To be honest, the leaders are quite dissatisfied with this." Ramblas said lightly.Chepchugov quickly lowered his head and said, "Secretary, what you said is that I can do this job..."
"No, no, I didn't mean to blame you. I am very clear that the current plight of the company is not caused by everyone's ineffective work, but by the overall domestic and foreign environment. The world economy is recovering slowly, and our country's market Weak and weak, a large amount of raw diamonds are produced, but they can only be stored in warehouses, and cannot be exchanged for the funds we urgently need. These difficulties actually exist.” Chepchugov showed a grateful look.
"It's just that the leaders can't tolerate the fact that our company monopolizes the country's diamond industry without turning in profits every year, so this time I came to you, hoping that you can continue to work hard and strive to realize it by the end of this year and early next year. Profit." Ramblas said slowly.
Chepchugov immediately showed embarrassment. In the current situation of Alrosa, it is definitely not easy to turn losses into profits, especially in such a short period of time.But he also understood that this was not what Rambras meant, but what the leaders above meant. If it was impossible, the leaders would not mind changing someone to take the seat of the leader of Alrosa. "Secretary, I'm afraid this is too difficult. De Beers United Mining Company refuses to buy more raw ore, and our domestic and Eastern European markets continue to decline..."
"It's useless to say these things," Ramblas waved his hand, and called Chepchugov to come. He didn't come here to listen to his complaints. "The leaders won't listen to what you say. Our task now is to turn the company from loss to profit no matter what, before reporting the results next year. Let's start with the two of us and save unnecessary expenses. From now until next year's performance report, unless necessary work expenses, other expenses can be reduced as much as possible."
Ramblas knew very well that if the leaders were not satisfied with him, no matter whether it was a flat transfer or a demotion, he would no longer be able to promise as much as he did in Alrosa, and at that time, not only It is the reduction of income and status, and if it is not done well, there will be a prison sentence.In the Soviet Union, cadres who had no political future were easily targeted by violent government agencies.Ramblas did not want to eat bread in the Ministry of the Interior.So no matter what, even if it is fraudulent accounting, it is necessary to turn Alrosa's financial income this year into a positive number before the end of the year.
Chepchugov also understood this truth, and said with a bitter face: "Secretary, if we only rely on saving expenses, I am afraid it will not meet the requirements. The important thing is to rely on sales." Chepchugov didn't know How many times have I scolded my predecessor because he took away a lot of money and spent a huge amount of money in the futures market, otherwise, even if the markets in the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries have been sluggish in recent years, Arro Sa company will not be forced to this point.
"You're right, the important thing is to rely on sales. That's why I came here for you." Ramblas picked up a piece of paper from the desk and put it in front of Chepchugov.
"Huh?" Chepchugov only glanced at it, and was completely attracted by the content. The more he looked at it, the more excited he became, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.This is a report from Nikolasky, which clearly mentions that foreign businessmen from Japan intend to purchase large quantities of raw diamond ore stocked by ALROSA, but the price is kept low, so please give guidance from the headquarters.Of course, there are also a lot of meritorious words by Nicholassky about how he struggled to motivate the other party to buy.Chepchugov was very annoyed, why didn't he receive the same document at all?
"According to the [-]% discount of the purchase price of De Beers United Mining Company, secretary, isn't that too low?" Chepchugov said after a while.
"It's too low." Ramblas nodded meaningfully, "But do we have a choice?"
Chepchugov let out a long sigh. Ramblas was right. He also mentioned just now that in order to make the company's financial books turn around and increase profits, it is impossible to rely solely on saving expenses. The important thing is to increase sales, but the sales markets in European and American countries are completely controlled by De Beers United Mining Company, and De Beers United Mining Company rejected its own proposal to increase the purchase volume, while the domestic and Eastern European markets have not improved. Who can the raw diamond mine be sold to?
Now that there is a Japanese foreign businessman who intends to buy in large quantities, they are already lucky. This is how you can have a pillow if you want to sleep. If you say that you are still picky, how can you complete the tasks assigned by the leaders?
"Comrade Chepchugov, I hope you and I will jointly ask the leaders for instructions. Regarding Comrade Nikolaisky, we must keep it safe for the time being, at least until the end of this transaction. The Japanese are very cunning. If you say this Comrade Nikolasky, if something went wrong, maybe..."
