Chapter 519 I'm going to open up territory

The capital.

Su Cheng stood in the olive hall of the East Second Ring Road and looked up at the huge relief "Chinese Civilization" overhead. On the two-storey, 100-meter-wide wall, you can see representative artistic patterns such as the bronzes of the Warring States Period, the terracotta warriors and horses of the Qin Dynasty, the jade pendant of the Han Dynasty, the astronomical map of the Song Dynasty, the treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty, and the modern Long March 2 carrier rocket.

And below it, there is another Huangzemu relief screen cut in the "On the River during the Qingming Festival". The vivid business district of Bianjing seems to be frozen at a certain point in time, quietly waiting for the reproduction and worship of future generations.

Su Cheng's restless mind also slowly calmed down.

This scene fell into the eyes of Jiao Guoping, who came later, and it could only be a wry smile. As far as his understanding of Su Cheng, at this moment, he is probably holding back his energy to make trouble.

He secretly warned himself, and Jiao Guoping complained to Liu Minghao, who was hiding in the corridor, "Go and talk about the handle you left behind."

"Didn't I do it for you the day before yesterday?" Liu Minghao didn't want to and said, "Since he came to the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he must want to talk to your Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It's nothing for me to go out."

Jiao Guoping said in a low and fast voice, "Mr. Zheng asked you to talk about it, just to borrow your identity. I'll go out with you, but you have to come forward."

"I won't go." Liu Minghao also said it simply. It's true that he is an intelligence officer, but it also depends on who he is. There is no legendary killing license, and he himself is not 007. He can't even be regarded as a spy. At best, he is just an official working in the intelligence system. There is not much difference between the power mode and the officials of other systems, but the type is different. If Su Cheng wants to pay attention to him, he has Hehe Huwei, and If you ignore him, isn't it idle?

Jiao Guoping is even more reluctant to come forward. He has suffered enough in Sucheng's hands. Fortunately, Mr. Zhou's incense is there, and he has never been forced to provoke Su Cheng, so he has a smooth future today. For Jiao Guoping, the work assigned above must be done, but he can't let himself offend others for the sake of business.

Seeing that Liu Minghao's feet took root and didn't move, Jiao Guoping offered a killer weapon and said, "Didn't you ask Minister Zheng to cooperate? If the situation in Azerbaijan can't be suppressed, Turkey will definitely be unhappy. We can wait. Can you wait?

The current government of Azerbaijan implements a policy of fully turning to Turkey, and the ruling party, the People's Front, has even designated the Turkic language as the national language. As a republic of the former Soviet Union, the widespread dissatisfaction caused by this move has caused the unstable situation in Azerbaijan, but the tilt of this policy has obviously received the full support of the Turkish government. They also need to help Azerbaijan put pressure on neighboring countries and cut off other countries' support for the opposition in Azerbaijan. Former Soviet officials such as Aliyev are the object that Ellicibeyi needs to expect a united front.

As for the general understanding of the officialdom of the country, although they don't care much about Azerbaijan, they care much about Turkey, a regional power that spans Europe and Asia. Liu Minghao's business scope requires the cooperation of Turkey very much. This is half a private matter and half a business, so he can't help but pay attention to it.

Jiao Guoping's Shangfeng Zheng, originally used this matter to urge Liu Minghao, Cui Guoping used it again, and the effect was equally significant.

Liu Minghao shook his teeth twice, shook his head, walked to Su Cheng, and said with a smile, "What's the matter with Su Dong coming this time?"

"Oh? Are you really working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Su Cheng glanced at him with the corners of his eyes.

"How can it be? I was also supported by someone. Well... that's not from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Liu Minghao made a surprise and sold Jiao Guoping.

Jiao Guoping was about to come out when he heard Liu Minghao's words, and his eyes were called a resentment.

Is this to offend Su Cheng to death?

He couldn't take care of Liu Minghao. He laughed three times, echoed through the hall, arched his hand from afar, and said in a loud voice, "Su Dong, see you again. Don't get me wrong. I can't help it. This is not a special explanation.

"There is no misunderstanding." Su Cheng turned his body slightly and took his eyes back from the relief.

Jiao Guoping was shocked. Don't be a real misunderstanding. He hurriedly said, "I really don't know about this matter. No, I didn't know it in advance. Only then did I know that I came to see you..."

"I know." Su Cheng nodded.

"Do you know?" Jiao Guoping was shocked and uncertain.

Su Cheng posted and said, "Dahua's overseas business has been stopped. Naturally, it is up to senior officials to decide such a thing.

Jiao Guoping couldn't laugh or cry, but Su Cheng was right. He was not qualified to make such a decision.

"Long live understanding." Seeing that Su Cheng did not really misunderstand, Jiao Guoping shook his head and said. However, after being lucky, he regretted that he was not qualified to make a decision after all.

Su Cheng looked at Jiao Guoping with a smile, then at Liu Minghao, and said, "I'm here this time, hoping to see and decide this matter... Minister Zheng. It's him, right?"

Sure enough, I'm here to find fault!

Jiao Guoping is not surprised that Su Cheng knows Minister Zheng. They have all worked as Mr. Zhou's staff, and Su Cheng is also an expert on international issues recognized by Mr. Zhou. There are many people he knew in those years who hold real power now, and there are more people who can get information.

However, Su Cheng's requirements are by no means what Jiao Guoping wants.

They originally hoped that Sucheng would quietly accept the request of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and even happily accept the request of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Jiao Guoping sighed and said, "Su Dong... To be honest, the Aliyev you funded and the colleagues of the Central Asia Bureau are not optimistic. I have asked several experts, and everyone said that even if Azerbaijan wants to change a president, it should first be within their People's Front Party. If it is not good, it will also be Mamedorf of the Independent Party, and it will not be Aliyev's turn... Your previous support for him, how to say, is equivalent to the cost of sinking, originally It can't be recovered. If you feel sorry to stop funding, or you can't hang your face, just push it on us. That is to say, the consistent principle of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China is to prohibit interference in the internal affairs of other countries, because the Azerbaijani authorities have proposed it, and they have to do it..."

In this passage, what Jiao Guoping said was well-founded, hard and soft, and quietly pointed out the principled position of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which also gave Su Cheng a step down.

Even Liu Minghao listened to it with a much loose look.

According to him, it is a normal choice for Sucheng to go down the slope - since Aliyev is no longer worth investing, he naturally saves money early.

However, Sucheng has never regarded Aliyev as the cost of sinking.

From his point of view, it is the darkness before dawn, the last moment of the cold stove.

At this time, it is too late to increase support for Aliyev. Let's talk about retreat.

So, Su Cheng said reluctantly, "Eliqi Bey is currently in the final stage of political instability. If it hadn't been for the great opposition in the country, he wouldn't have made such a request to you."

"But he made a request, so it's hard for us to ignore it." Jiao Guoping said, "You can understand."

Su Cheng's face was stiff, and after a moment, he relaxed and said, "I have to listen to what Minister Zheng said."

Then, he added, "If it's convenient, I would like to see the Minister."

"Minister..." Jiao Guoping's lips shivered and said helplessly, "If you want to see Minister Zheng, it's enough for me to suffer. See the minister, that's not something I can decide."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "I invested 100 million dollars in Aliyev. Even if it is thrown into the water, you have to make a sound for me."

The number of 100 million US dollars was spit out, not only Jiao Guoping, but also Liu Minghao was shocked.

Before the post-Bush era, the U.S. dollar was still called the U.S. dollar, which was a valuable world currency.

The foreign exchange reserves of China in 1993 were only more than 60 billion US dollars, and the funds for foreign affairs and intelligence were poor. Even worldwide, the diplomatic expenditure of 100 million yuan was amazing. In order to visit the United States for public relations, Lee Teng-hui gave Washington's consulting company a fee of only 4.5 million US dollars, which has been adeplored by domestic diplomats. And Lee Teng-hui's clamor of Taiwan's entry into the United Union is just "billions of dollars".

As a company, do you invest $100 million in an old politician in the former Soviet era?

Jiao Guoping and Liu Minghao, who had done their homework, looked at Su Cheng again with a "you are crazy" expression.

In a real society, lunatics can always get some preferential treatment.

Jiao Guoping looked around worriedly and said, "I'll talk to Minister Zheng whether he agrees or not is not what I can decide..."

"You told me, and he will definitely agree." Su Cheng smiled and said, "Where am I waiting for the news?"

"Oh, let's go to the reception room. We have a lot of reception rooms, all of which are quite good." Jiao Guoping led the way with a smile, and his tone was soothing like a tour guide with laryngitis.

He also made it clear that it's better not to offend a madman who can bet $100 million without blinking an eye. Even if he is in his current position, it is definitely not worth $100 million.

Such a high-end matter should be handled by high-end people.

The dog bites the dog's hair, no matter who wins.

Liu Minghao began to scratch his head. He knew the value of $100 million in the international market better than Jiao Guoping. At this time, it is indeed difficult for some strong people to stop supporting Sucheng.

However, Minister Zheng does not seem to have such an understanding.

Half an hour later, when Minister Zheng and His Excellency appeared in the conference room together, Minister Zheng still said in a persuasive tone: "The situation in Azerbaijan is chaotic. If we don't get involved, we won't get involved... You may have heard about the recent Galaxy incident, and it is still going on. The Olympic bid work needs the support of the international community. At this time, the diplomatic principles of China should be adhered to..."

The bid for the Olympic Games in 1993 was applied for the 2000 Olympic Games.

Su Cheng didn't remember the Olympic bid process of [China], but he was impressed by the Sydney Olympic Games. Under the premise of knowing the failure of the bid for the Olympic Games, he naturally lost his awe and smiled, "What does the Olympic bid have to do with Azerbaijan..."

Minister Zheng frowned and said, "We are bound to win this Olympic bid. Not only the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also the national enterprises and institutions should cooperate as much as possible. Although Dahua Industry is a private enterprise, we also hope that Dahua Industry can take responsibility..."

Minister Zheng is a medium-sized black-faced man, which is a bit like the image of the brigade [book] in TV movies at this time. Although he speaks more efficiently, it is inevitable.

Su Cheng endured and did not show impatience. He said with a straight face, "Our Dahua Industry is an energy enterprise, and what we do is energy business. It is good that the bid for the Olympic Games can enhance the international influence of the [China] country. But isn't it a bit of putting the cart before the horse for the Olympic Games to let us give up the oil fields we have already got?

The minister sitting in the middle heard the point and said strangely, "Dahua Industry has obtained the oil field in Azerbaijan?"

"This is a prerequisite for supporting Aliyev. He promised that once the time is ripe, [China] Chinese enterprises will become the first partner of Azerbaijan's oil industry..." Su Cheng modified it slightly and changed the name of Dahua Industry to [China] Chinese enterprises to make it sound better. Of course, the original promise itself will not change.

Minister Zheng smiled and said, "The prerequisite for Dahua Industry to obtain the oil field is Aliyev to come to power. How is this possible... If Aliyev comes to power, our policies on Iran, Armenia, Georgia and Turkey will be changed... Is it possible that the Central Asian Bureau will all be idle?

"Your colleagues from the Central Asia Bureau should pay attention to so many countries in Central Asia at the same time, and it is understandable to miss Azerbaijan..." Su Cheng first helped them explain. In fact, so many countries in Central Asia have just experienced the turmoil of the disintegration of the Soviet Union. It is the stage of all kinds of strange things coming out. It is not surprising that experts can't catch the pulse. On the contrary, it is a little suspicious that Minister Zheng said so.

Minister Zheng himself obviously didn't think he was wrong. He pointed a little of Su Cheng in the air with his fingers and said in a joking tone, "I don't think you can see the coffin and don't shed tears. Such a big thing as bidding for the Olympic Games, such a big thing as diplomacy, can you be commanded by a small private enterprise? Listen to me, the principle of [China] national diplomacy is the principle of not interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. If you say it, you can't change it. So, no matter what business you do in Azerbaijan, you have to withdraw it for me.

This is very rude, and Su Cheng's face is also hurt. Since he became Mr. Su, especially with the support of Mr. Zhou, he has rarely been scolded in front of him.

In an instant, Su Cheng's old face turned red.

This is not shameful but angry!

Minister Zheng also breathes heavily. He is the deputy minister in charge of Central Asian affairs. His own acre of land has been invaded by private enterprises, and he has made the opposite decision. That's really a clay figurine, not to mention his explosive temper.

He didn't swear. It was Minister Zheng who restrained in the face of others.

Unfortunately, Su Cheng did not lose a trace of anger because he cursed lightly.

He stood up with a stiff face and said, "So, Minister Zheng is required me to stop supporting Aliyev?"

"That's right." Minister Zheng disdained Su Cheng's anger. Today's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is no longer the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when Mr. Zhou was the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. He has nothing to worry about.

"Do you dare to write an official letter to me?" Su Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "You have to let Aliyev know the reason why I stopped supporting him."

Minister Zheng was a little hesitant and said, "You can explain the matter between you by yourself."

Su Cheng shook his head and looked at Jiao Guoping and said, "It's not what you said. If I can't hang on my face and feel sorry, I can push it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

Jiao Guoping stood up bravely, meditating that "the fire at the city gate affected the pond fish" and said, "I mean, in private."

Su Cheng curled his lips and obviously disagreed with his words.

Minister Zheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "If I send an official letter, will you stop supporting Aliyev?"

"Yes."

"In this way, I will issue an official letter asking foreign trade enterprises to abide by domestic foreign policy and foreign discipline, and you can explain it to Aliyev by yourself." Minister Zheng came to a conclusion that was harmless to himself.

Su Cheng nodded. This kind of content, coupled with time, is enough to explain the problem.

Seeing that he agreed, Minister Zheng finally smiled and clapped his hands and said, "Look, how good it is."

With that, he asked Jiao Guoping to draft an official letter, sign and stamp it on the spot, and asked the minister to attach it next to him, hand it over to Su Cheng in person, and then pat him on the shoulder.

It seems that the voices in front of him are all illusory.

Su Cheng put away the letter without saying a word, turned around and walked out of the conference room. Minister Zheng didn't think of the pestle, but glanced at Su Cheng with contempt.

The minister had nothing to do with this matter. He smiled like a peacemaker and said, "Guoping, go and see him off. Don't be slow."

Jiao Guoping quickly answered and quickly walked out of the conference room.

When he got to the first floor, he caught up with Su Cheng out of breath and said politely, "Where are you going? I'll see you off."

Su Cheng, who was full of anger, suddenly stopped and looked at Jiao Guoping like a wolf. He pouted disdainfully and said, "I'm going to open up territory."

"What?"

"I'm going to open up territory." Su Cheng repeated it, but his tone became more and more firm.

Jiao Guoping felt something, stared at Su Cheng's back, turned around the screen of "On the River during the Qingming Festival", passed through the relief of "Chinese Civilization", and gradually went away...
