Chapter 524 Invitation to meet

He came to Baku with Jiao Guoping, as well as Guo Jingxiang, Minister Zheng's close relative.

Sucheng smuggled out of the country. Naturally, he broke the boat and couldn't wait to return. But this abnormal move is also equivalent to burning Minister Zheng, who promoted the matter, on the fire.

Unprepared, Minister Zheng had to send out his most trusted personnel to "persuaded" Su Cheng to return to China to admit his mistake. Of course, Minister Zheng did not think that Aliyev could take office and sent Guo Jingxiang out of face.

Guo Jingxiang did not regard this matter as a big deal. He was still on a business trip abroad. When he arrived in Azerbaijan, he first looked for the embassy to fight the autumn wind, and then looked for the local store, thinking of buying two fur coats, or carpet tapestries and other things.

The entourage of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who came with him couldn't help it and rushed to the streets to buy some valuable products as much as possible. Azerbaijan, like Afghanistan, is rich in wool. In the era when Chinese people could not distinguish between cashmere sweaters and woolen sweaters, European countries began to purchase cashmere and wool from Azerbaijan and Afghanistan. Although the local sweaters and leather coats were more simple and could not withstand the materials, it was still a rare gift to bring them back to China.

The neat team collapsed that day, which made Jiao Guoping feel very bad, but he didn't say much. In his heart, he didn't think he could contact Su Cheng immediately.

Jiao Guoping admired Su Cheng's courage to fight back, but it is difficult to understand what he did.

In his eyes, Sucheng is like a mouse in a bellows. His behavior is not popular in the country, and the Azerbaijani authorities hate him to the bone.

Not to mention the base camp of Elicbe's Baku, even a slightly remote Azerbaijani city, I'm afraid it won't be like foreign speculators like the city of Sioux.

In view of this, Jiao Guoping specially instructed the embassy staff in charge of contacting, saying, "Remember to inform Su Cheng that we can let him determine the place to meet. Both at home and abroad, Iran, the United States or Europe are fine. As long as the time and place are determined, we will arrive on time.

However, unexpectedly, Su Cheng called back that afternoon and invited him to meet at dinner time.

It is not a message from many people, nor is it a prepaid phone from a foreign country, but an ordinary phone from Azerbaijan. The correspondent of the embassy even directly told Jiao Guoping's address: "Shaqi Hotel. It's in the city center."

"It's in the center of the city." Jiao Guoping repeated it and felt strange.

"Do you want to inform Director Guo?" The correspondent flattered, "Now send someone out to look for it. It's just in time."

Except for the ambassador, all the staff of the embassy are lower than the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Guo Jingxiang and Jiao Guoping are already half imperial envoys for the Azerbaijani embassy.

Jiao Guoping nodded subconsciously and then asked, "How is the public security in the city?"

"Baku is very good. Except for people who go to the streets from time to time, it is usually quiet. However, local religious and ethnic issues are more complicated, and we usually avoid them. The correspondent knew all and tried to think about it.

"That's it." Jiao Guoping was confused and didn't understand how Sucheng dared to appear in Baku.

In the past week or two, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan and Turkey has almost urged the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs three times a day. Otherwise, he and Guo Jingxiang would not have come in a hurry.

According to Jiao Guoping's idea, Su Cheng should be like a frightened bird at this time, hiding somewhere. How dare you invite me to meet you in downtown Baku?

Is it possible that he didn't come here in person? How to explain the voice on the phone?

Jiao Guoping's head is big, and his face is also changeable.

The correspondent next to him looked at him with admiration and said to himself: It's different from the department. You can think about a phone call for so long.

Wait, wait, wait, 3 minutes have passed, 5 minutes have passed, 10 minutes have passed, Jiao Guoping still doesn't speak...

The correspondent couldn't sit still and twisted around.

Jiao Guoping heard the voice, frowned dissatisfiedly, and asked, "Why are you still here?"

The correspondent thought about grabbing the ground: I'm not waiting for your order yet?

I can only think about this in my mind. I can't say it. The correspondent can only say softly, "So... do you want to inform Director Guo?"

Jiao Guoping's eyes widened: "Haven't you been notified yet?"

"I'm going to inform you now." The correspondent lowered his head and resisted the desire to break the guy's chin.

Guo Jingxiang is not easy to find, because the places where cheap furs are sold in Azerbaijan are very remote, and the subsidies for Chinese officials to go abroad are always less than foreign officials. Therefore, diplomats from European and American countries can buy souvenirs in Baku, and Chinese diplomats can only go to the suburbs.

It was almost 6 p.m. that the staff of the embassy found Guo Jingxiang. He is bargaining with the Azerbaijani indigenous people in Russian, trying to buy a fur-necked Soviet-style military coat.

I don't know which former Soviet military coat was vacated from the former Soviet military warehouse. It is of good quality, but it is not liked by Europeans and Americans, but it is very suitable for China. The embassy staff who came to Guo Jingxiang fell in love at a glance and asked in Russian, "'hometown', is there any more?"

The old Azerbaijani man who was selling goods nodded carefully and said, "There are three more."

"It's just right. We are three people." The staff of the embassy pointed happily at himself and his companions, as well as Guo Jingxiang next to him.

As a Beijing official, Guo Jingxiang is also poor. He has been bargaining for a long time just now. Now that he has a companion, he will not miss the opportunity.

The old man in Azerbaijan is also well-trained. In the face of foreigners, he vowed to squeeze out every penny, so he fought back bravely.

Four people pulled a military coat, from head to toe, and finally bought it for more than 30 dollars. Naturally, this money should be saved from their daily subsidies. However, if the money saved is not used to buy things, the forced foreign exchange settlement is 300 yuan, which is more than half cheaper than the domestic price.

Guo Jingxiang was very satisfied. He felt that the main task of his trip to Azerbaijan had been completed. He smiled easily and said, "You two are from the embassy, right? Why did you come here?"

"We are here to find you." The driver carefully put away his coat. Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Mr. Jiao, please go back and say that the person you are looking for has been found."

"Found? Where is it?" Guo Jingxiang Yixi, this is a double joy. He bought a cheap fur coat and found Su Cheng.

The driver shook his head and said, "I didn't say the details, I just said let's meet at dinner time."

"Dinner time." Guo Jingxiang's face changed rapidly and said, "What time is dinner here?"

"It's seven or eight o'clock."

"What time is it now?" Guo Jingxiang looked up at the sky and felt that it was gray, and he was angry when he asked.

Seeing that he was unhappy, the driver couldn't help scratching his head and said, "It's 8 o'clock now."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"I... I'm not afraid that you are in a hurry." The driver thought to himself: If I had told you earlier, if your things were expensive, wouldn't you blame me again?

Guo Jingxiang looked at the expressions of the two people and could also guess their thoughts. He got into the car with tears and laughter, and said in a muffled voice, "Go back to the embassy, hurry up."

The driver didn't dare to say anything. On the rotten road in Baku, he drove the big Polish bean diced out of 80 kilometers per hour, and Guo Jingxiang's teeth hurt.

Afed to the embassy, Jiao Guoping couldn't wait to leave. Guo Jingxiang asked the place and ordered the driver to rush to the Shaqi Hotel.

The road conditions are better this time, but the good ones are limited.

After Guo Jingxiang got out of the car, his face was pale and he quickly walked into the hall. When he saw Jiao Guoping, he was relieved and asked, "Is anyone here?"

"Not yet." Jiao Guoping shook his head slightly.

"How could you make an appointment in such a place? Is it Su Cheng himself?"

"It's hard to say, but it's him who called."

"Then wait." Guo Jingxiang sat on the sofa in the lobby and leaned comfortably. Fang said, "I guess this guy wants to fool us. The control of the Azerbaijani authorities is a little weak, but Baku is the capital anyway. Even if Sucheng dares to come, he dares not come out in a big way, let alone make an appointment by phone..."

Speaking of this, he saw Jiao Guoping's strange expression and said strangely, "What's wrong with you, Lao Jiao?"

Jiao Guoping picked up the corners of his mouth twice and said, "Su Cheng is here."

"Are you here...?"

Guo Jingxiang blinked and understood what Jiao Guoping was talking about. He turned around in disbelief.

Sure enough, Su Cheng, who had seen it several times in the photo, was coming with a smile on his face.

There is no sneaky, no left and right, no shackle and handcuffs. It's completely open and upright.

Su Cheng is also surrounded by a whole group of people, including translators, bodyguards, accountants, lawyers and business assistants. That style is much bigger than in China.

It doesn't work if it's not good. He earns dozens of millions of dollars every day. He not only needs to settle accounts, but also needs to protect those who have money. In addition, Azerbaijani politicians who want money find an opportunity to contact Aliyev and Sucheng, and there are also people around them.

As for the Baku government, the role played by the silver bomb offensive is really limited. The police chief and garrison commander in Baku took the US dollar from Sioux City, and how could they be ashamed to stop him from moving freely.

At the end of the former Soviet Union, the governments of the major republics were rotten to the bone. To this day, Azerbaijan is not much better.

Ellici Beyi may be a good young man with ideals and ambitions, but most of the others in the government are from the era of the former Soviet Union. Not to mention their administrative ability, the ability of corruption is no less than that of their predecessors.

In the Caspian Petroleum Circle, this skill will be passed on for a long time.

With the domestic thinking mode, Jiao Guoping couldn't guess the causal relationship at all, and was surprised: "Why are you like this?"

Su Cheng laughed and said, "If I don't do this, how should I do it?"

"The Baku authorities won't arrest you?" Guo Jingxiang was particularly surprised. In the past month, the protest documents of the Azerbaijani authorities have been full of cattle. Why did they get to Baku? Instead, they saw the generous appearance of Sucheng Daming in the city center.

Su Cheng can't say that I smiled at the bribes of all sides, loved by everyone, and flowers bloomed.

He simply shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be cool, "Say, you can contact me. What's the matter?"

Jiao Guoping kept silent.

As a close relative of Minister Zheng, Guo Jingxiang stood up and said, "In China, it's better to ask Su Dong to return to China."

"If I go back to China, Aliyev's line will be broken."

"Elić Beye's term of office is still long, as long as Aliyev's age, I'm afraid he can't wait." Guo Jingxiang paused for a moment and continued, "If it is an improper means to become president, it will not be recognized by the country. Therefore, Su Dong still hopes to return to China as soon as possible.

"Say it, you still want me to stop supporting Aliyev, which is no different from the official letter issued to me by Minister Zheng."

"We came here this time to show our attitude. Does Su Dong really not want Dahua Industry?" Guo Jingxiang's threat this time is more specific.

Su Cheng twisted his eyebrows and sneered, "With you, I can't eat my Dahua Industry."

Guo Jingxiang's embarrassment went away, shook his head and said, "Susong, don't be obsessed. Supporting foreign political parties is very serious in nature..."

"That's what I'm talking about risk." Su Cheng suddenly sighed and turned his head to the right.

Beside him is the little Aliyev with a simple face. He just listened to the translation and said deeply, "You have paid too much for the Afghan people."

"Who are you?" Guo Jingxiang was at a loss.

Little Aliyev said with a smile, "My name is Aliyev, Ilham Aliyev. It was my idea to invite you here today.

Guo Jingxiang and Jiao Guoping are as dull as wood chickens. It's one thing for them to threaten Su Cheng, but in other people's territory, it's another thing to face BOSS-level characters.

Little Aliyev didn't need them to talk and said to himself, "Before I met you, I also thought that there was a traditional friendship between China and Azerbaijan. My father, as a former member of the Soviet Politburo, should have something to do with the Chinese government. Unexpectedly, you would rather destroy Mr. Sucheng's company than Support the Aliyev family..."

Jiao Guoping was unwilling to bear such a charge and hurriedly said, "Mr. Aliyev..."

"No need to say, I'll treat you to a good show today." Aliyev clapped his hands, and a beautiful welcome lady came up.

Guo Jingxiang asked in Russian in surprise, "What's the good show?"

"Just the day before yesterday, there was a fierce exchange of fire between the Azerbaijani government army and the Armenian army, and the Azerbaijani government army was defeated... A group of fools fought a war..." Aliyev commented and continued: "Since yesterday, there have been demonstrations all over Azerbaijan. According to our guess, Pakistan The parade in the Ku area is about to begin.

"Demoirquee..." Jiao Guoping and Guo Jingxiang turned their heads three times before they realized that this is Azerbaijan, a "democratic country". The parade here and China's victory parade are completely different things.

In developed democracies, even if there are a large number of marches, it will not cause great harm. The marches in underdeveloped democracies often turn into riots...

Jiao Guoping and Guo Jingxiang looked at each other and became nervous.
