Chapter 531 Rain of Money
Jiao Guoping and Counselor Liu failed to achieve their goal, so they had to return to the embassy to report.
Su Cheng's refusal was reasonable and unexpected. The ministries and commissions far away in the capital had no good idea for the time being. They ordered the embassy to solve the problem by itself and establish a relationship with the new government.
When the telegram came, Jiao Guoping and Counselor Liu looked at each other with a wry smile.
Counselor Liu shook his head and said, "We have offended Aliyev so badly, and we still have established a relationship? If we can establish a relationship, why should we pretend to be a grandson for Sucheng?
Jiao Guoping coughed twice and said, "On behalf of the country, it's always okay to meet. Let's take which step we can take first."
"The above still doesn't pay attention to Azerbaijan." Counselor Liu complained a lot and complained a little. He said, "Some people are just short-sighted. I think we can't be relaxed. Look at it. In a few days, the orders have to be changed and the requirements have to be raised. Then, let's continue to pretend to be grandchildren."
Jiao Guoping remembered the Russians he saw when he went out and agreed with Counselor Liu. However, he did not tell him about it, but only revealed a little: "The times are different. In the past, Azerbaijan was at most at its point, but now it is a landmark country of the five Central Asian countries and the Caspian oil circle. Regional and energy problems are complex enough, coupled with the relationship of the CIS... By the way, I heard that many oil companies have come to Baku?
The counselor knows the geography and humanities of Azerbaijan well, but said in an emotional tone: "The first Baku has been developed for decades, and the sword is still not old. At the time of Ellicibeyi, foreign oil companies have not had time to do the work. The Azerbaijani government doesn't know how to develop it. Now that he has step down, the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods are all coming... Don't say that Su Cheng is going to have good luck.
The first Baku is the Baku, because the oil production here is too high and the high production time is so long that it became the symbol of Soviet oil. Later, the Ural oil area was called the second Baku, and the Tyumen oil area was called the third Baku.
Baku's status is in the Soviet Union. It is equivalent to China's Yumen Oilfield, Daqing Oilfield, and half the status of the Ministry of Finance. The oil produced here is one of the few products that could be exchanged for foreign exchange in the Soviet era. At the same time, more than a hundred years of industrial oil extraction history has trained and trained a large number of petroleum professionals. Baku is the cradle of Soviet oil. Just like the Yumen oilfield is the cradle of China Petroleum. Before the 1950s, the Soviet oil system was full of Baku faction. Until the collapse of the Soviet Union, the power of the Baku faction could not be underestimated.
Unlike China, the power of the Soviet oil system is amazing, and there is no problem to replace half of the Ministry of Finance. Therefore, the oil workers in the Soviet Union are the best-paid position. Soviet oil officials were the most powerful corporate officials in the 1970s. Even the General Secretary of the Soviet Union has no good way in the face of the intertwined oil system.
Nowadays, although the Soviet Union has disintegrated, Baku has been completely preserved, and the former Baku faction of the Soviet Union has left a root. Many of the former Soviet bosses that Sucheng met in the Tyumen oil field must be inextricably linked to Baku.
Compared with the domestic power of Azerbaijan and the oil system in Baku, the political power is not dominant, and it relies on military power to maintain a reluctant relationship.
Elchibei has weak control over the country and ordinary influence on the army, so he naturally can't control the oil faction in Baku.
Although he wants to develop the oil subsidy treasury, but the oil faction in Baku does not cooperate, and the timeline for the restoration of the Baku oil field can only be delayed again and again, but the local oil workers don't care. They casually get a little oil to sell, and they will not lose food and clothing.
However, if the same presidential position is under Aliyev or Husseinov's buttocks, it will be completely different.
Elicbeyi was born as an unfollowed scholar. Although he organized a People's Front and gained national prestige in Azerbaijan, he was at best the template of Sun Dabao and Sun Yat-sen, and lacked powerful means. Aliyev was the former First Secretary of the Azerbaijani Soviet and the Minister of the Interior. In other words, Aliyev is the largest KGB in Azerbaijan, exactly the same number of roads as Putin, and the level is much higher.
Not to mention Husseinov, the troops he controlled rushed to Baku. If the oil system dared not cooperate, he might not have washed the mining area.
Therefore, although foreign oil companies with a little intelligence analysis ability are not sure who will succeed the presidency of Azerbaijan, they believe that Azerbaijan's oil development is about to begin, and naturally they are busy to settle in this Caspian country. Smaller foreign oil companies are in the form of parasites. Wherever the host goes, they will not hesitate to go.
Oil companies don't care about wars and coups. They prefer chaotic countries and environments because they want to be more expensive to demolish areas than the regime stabilizes.
A few days after the military coup in Azerbaijan ended, there were a large number of foreign oil companies in Baku, some oil companies that were talking about projects in Kazakhstan, and they did not mind observing the situation nearby.
But as far as the right time, place and people are concerned, there is nothing comparable to Dahua Industry in Suzhou City.
Even if Aliyev did not take power, Husseinov, who received nearly 50 million US dollars in funding for two months, was embarrassed to say that he did not know Sioux City.
Jiao Guoping and Counsellor Liu saw through this and felt tricky.
Now that there are no big hats such as "diplomatic principles", the power of Dahua Industry has rebounded, and Sucheng is in the sky abroad. They really have nowhere to do it.
Not only that, it has opened up the Soviet cities of Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan one after another, once again strengthened his image as an expert on international issues, and added two retreats. Even if Minister Zheng was at the helm, he did not dare to oppress Su City like this.
Jiao Guoping and Counselor Liu discussed for a long time, and there was no effective way. They only wanted to contact all parties as much as possible.
It's not difficult.
A few days before the start of the Political Consultative Conference, all kinds of banquets and performances were unconsciously used for all factions to chat and talk.
For formal meetings, it is not suitable to talk about conditions with a black face. It is the underworld. However, formal meetings need to be negotiated, and various private occasions have become very important. The interim government of Azerbaijan also pays attention to this point and tries to provide conditions to everyone.
Naturally, what they expect most is negotiation. Only by political means to solve the crisis can the current interim government have room to play. If the crisis is resolved by force, it will have nothing to do with them. Even if Husseinov directly establishes a military government, the regime change is over.
The Chinese Embassy has collected a lot of invitations. According to the degree of importance, all the people have been sent to participate. This alone has consumed the human situation that Counselor Liu has accumulated over the years.
He can't take care of it. If he can't be an ambassador, Counsellor Liu won't have much time to work in Azerbaijan, and it's useless to keep the favor.
On the contrary, Su Cheng received countless invitations, and almost all high-end banquets would take the initiative to invite Su Cheng to attend.
Whether Aliyev can be president or not is one thing, but the good fate he made with a lot of money is another matter.
Seeing that the consultation meeting is about to begin, whether they owe Aliyev or not, everyone at least hopes to bring Aliyev to their side.
Many people come to invite Su City without Aliyev, and most of them invite both.
In just a few days, there were so many banquets to be held. It was not enough for Aliyev and Little Aliyev to cut into two sections, and the three of them inevitably had to find some agents.
In fact, now Baku is flying agents everywhere.
The Dahua Public Relations Department, which has just lifted the ban on going abroad, re-sented a strong lineup to Azerbaijan, and then attended the banquet on behalf of Su City in the world.
Su Cheng knew too well that the oil company relied on public relations, so he spared no effort to build Dahua Public Relations Department. High-level graduates, business people who are familiar with the world and society, professional technical management and resigned administrative officials are all recruited by Dahua Public Relations Department. They carry out planned research for different public relations objects.
This practice and the strength of construction even exceed that of foreign companies. After all, the energy industry in the early 1990s did not have the difficulties and hardships of future generations. Now, developing countries are open and welcoming to energy and resource companies, such as Chavez in Venezuela, which is not mainstream. In addition to the frequent obstacles to the construction of projects such as oil pipelines, oil exploration is also smooth. As for projects such as oil refining and chemical industry, because it always brings jobs and investment, and the site selection is relatively free, it is not too dependent on public relations. For foreign oil companies, what they need more is a team of lawyers.
Su Cheng is well aware of the future development direction of the oil company. In another decade, due to the soaring price of oil, countries will be strict in the care of oil. Not to mention countries like Azerbaijan, even chaotic African countries also need careful public relations to get results. Countries like Russia even have Putin's renationalization. When encountering such a superb regime, the lawyer group is useless. If a strong public relations group is lucky, it may be able to get something.
The public relations department is the earliest department established by Dahua Industry, and its development is also the best. By 1993, after five years of development, the Dahua Public Relations Department had more than 300 commissioners and nearly 200 internal support personnel. Li Lin brought more than 80 people, like a visiting group, all over Baku.
At the same time, Su City not only stopped funding Aliyev 50 million US dollars a month, but increased 50 million US dollars to Dahua.
Aliyev is a strong background, but it is not enough to take down a huge oil field.
If other oil companies want to come later, they have to spend money.
The pouring rain of money, like the appetizer of a feast of wealth, is being tasted by the dignitaries of Azerbaijan.
What I saw at the banquet was a smiling face.
However, it must be the benefits that oil companies will get, and such a rain of money is just a drizzle.
