Chapter 535 Overlooking Aqijiu
Aliyev's speech was slightly lengthy, which was for innocent people who did not know the situation.
For the faction of people who understand the situation, Aliyev's speech is still very informative. His views on the future cabinet design of Azerbaijan and his views on international diplomacy, especially his plans for national oil and private oilfield development, were all expressed through the opportunity of the consultation.
Ordinary people think that it is impossible for Aliyev to go on stage, but just have a good time, so after being surprised, they should sleep and talk about what they should take seriously.
Only a few people listen very seriously.
This is the first time that Aliyev has expressed and expounded his policy program. To put it rudely, there will be countless people's life and career development, which will be affected.
Huserinov turned his mind to analyze the pros and cons. Mamedorf stared at the podium sarcastically. The Soviets and the Russians were silent. The real audience was more than 100 people belonging to the Aliyev faction, and they would also be the backbone of the new government of Azerbaijan.
It is undeniable that Aliyev has accumulated a deep network over the years, and there are countless collections in the belt. Despite the awkward position, he can still find many suitable supporters. This alone is unmatched by Husseinov and Mamedov.
Although Husseinov occupied the capital by force, half of the government officials he designed were collaborators and half were soldiers. Mamedorf has been a political party figure for many years. The cabinet he prepared is full of people from the political party, and most of them are people with anarchy experience.
This is the Republic of Azerbaijan. For another country, it can't be so hasty.
After a two-hour speech, the host came on the stage, and everyone's eyes focused on Husseinov.
Aliyev is obviously going to compete for president, at this moment. The dominant Husseinov said that it was the most suitable performance of the script.
The extras looked at the leading actors and wanted to play one more round.
However, Husseinov never made a clear statement.
The $100 million bank promissory note was in his arms. Even if you leave Azerbaijan, it's quite good to be a rich man.
The money fell into his hands. Strictly speaking, the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning, but it is impossible to say that it is meaningless.
Just the current bird in Azerbaijan. It is estimated that there is only one way for Hussainnov to get $100 million in cash.
But after the search, his president still couldn't do it.
Not only that, you can't put all the funds you can get in your own pocket. It is indeed a challenge for Husseinov to make up $100 million in personal income. Although he has been a military and political leader in the Ganjia area, first of all, he is a soldier, and then a political leader. It is not easy for him to barely maintain his army with the money he gets every month, and it is impossible to have more than enough. Thanks to him inheriting the army and equipment of the former Soviet Union. And there are grants from the central government of Azerbaijan.
The army of tens of thousands of people is not so easy to maintain, not to mention the maintenance cost of a large amount of equipment. Husseinov has seen a lot of money, but it's all over. It is impossible to withd retain 100 million US dollars.
Perhaps, when Azerbaijan's oil industry is in full swing, $100 million will be an easy figure.
But. Husseinov is not sure about this. He has no experience in local construction and is not familiar with the oil industry. Except for foreign loans, he can't think of a way to increase the treasury income.
Coupled with the increasing instability of his subordinates, Husseinov unexpectedly lost the courage to refute.
Yes, I am the president, how can I maintain this country and this army?
Also, more than half of the people sitting in the hall now will become the opposition again. What will happen then?
He thought about these problems and really lacked interest in polem with Aliyev.
The host waited for a long time and ended the meeting strangely.
People left in twos and threes.
For Aliyev, the first day of the consultation couldn't go smoothly.
In the evening, there are more banquets. The huge city of Baku is like a festival, with bright lights everywhere.
Sioux City, which reappeared in the public eye, briefly attended the banquet held by Aliyev and gave a second payment to the division commanders and brigade commanders under Husseininov. Compared with the previous time, these officers who were used to the flashy world were more happy.
Little Aliyev was nervous for an hour, and then sent Sucheng away as quickly as possible.
Husseinov's gendarmes ambushed outside the door for two hours, but after all, they did not come in to find the bad luck of Su City.
It should be said that it was Husseinov who lost interest in finding his bad luck.
After all, this matter belongs to Aliyev. Sucheng only plays the role of a money bag. After anger, Husseinov has his own choice.
However, this time it was Su Cheng's own judgment, an adventure made by himself.
History will not tell him a temporary decision of Husseinov. This is the decision made by Su City based on the situation in Azerbaijan - whether Husseinov wants to compete for the president, give up the president, or hesitates, he should not take the city of Su as the primary goal.
Moreover, the $100 million was burned, even if it was burned in the name of the Aliyev family, it could only burn a little incense.
The consultation meeting in the next two days took some form, but it was still good news for Aliyev. He is like a tireless bee, wandering among the various parties, promising all kinds of benefits, taking back all kinds of power, and matching all parties...
All of everything, Aliyev does like a fish in water. He has decades of political experience, and now he has the capital, and he is even more comfortable.
The longer the time, the smaller the gap between him and Husseinov and Mamedorf.
The latter two spent many years accumulating today's advantages, like the wine being brewed. Aliyev is like a pool of old wine, trying his best to volagate the aroma, which makes people smell it.
The disturbing political combination belongs to the Azerbaijanis, and the Soviet city pays as usual, but no longer intervenes in the political situation.
The layout of the first two years does not count. In just a few months, he spent nearly $400 million, and the capital saved is more than enough.
This kind of large-scale public relations expenditure was often seen in Europe and the United States in the 1950s and 1960s, and in Japan in the 1960s and 1970s. After entering the 1990s, it rarely appeared. In fact, even if European and American companies are willing to spend a lot of money in Azerbaijan, they will not be as "reckless" as Sucheng.
At least, it's not too late to wait until the new president comes to power.
Of course, the price and harvest at that time were definitely disproportionate. In a huge oil area like Aqijiu, by 2000, the oil production capacity will exceed 150 million barrels per year, worth more than 10 billion US dollars. By 2010, the output of the Aqijiu oil area will be 40.6 million tons, equivalent to 3 billion barrels and worth 300 billion US dollars.
It's horrible!
This is equivalent to Aqijiu Oilfield creating one or two top companies in the world's top 500 every year, or dozens of companies at the end of the world's top 500. Or three or five Fortune-headed millionaires, or dozens of Forbes-headed millionaires...
Of course, oil companies in the 1990s could only get a share agreement at most. More excessive barrel pay agreements have also begun to emerge.
In the early 1990s, due to the low oil prices, oil companies still had a chance to get about 15% share agreements. This means an annual revenue of $1.5 billion to $45 billion.
This is only the simplest primary benefit.
looking at the 30-year century contract, who can control even 15% of the oil distribution right of the Aqijiu oilfield. That is, the distribution right of more than 20 million barrels of crude oil and 450 million barrels of oil per year is put on Wall Street, which is the only contract. You can get billions of dollars in loans.
If it is an American company, it is not difficult to decide how many representatives to influence one or two senators or governors. However, it should be changed to an ordinary American company. If you want to get so much oil production, its own scale is not small.
Calculated according to the 30-year contract of the century. In front of the oil company is the interest of at least $45 billion.
Not to mention the 400 million US dollars in Sioux City, when the presidential election is over, these foreign companies will invest 10 times more in public relations.
Historically, the Aqijiu oil field was eventually divided by nine foreign oil companies. Among them, in order to get part of the contract, the British BP company's public relations fee alone is as high as 4,500 pounds, about 90 million US dollars. BP also invited several shadow cabinet members to lobby the local government, and indirectly spend less on future foreign ministers or defense ministers.
In addition, in order to bribe Azerbaijani officials, BP also held a sex party in London to entertain those who have the power to make a decision and even the potential to make trouble. There are even rumors that the British MI6 also intervened during the period...
Judging from the results, foreign oil companies pay more and get less, but also take less risks.
The 400 million or more money spent by Sucheng is likely to be wasted. This probability and risk are at least equivalent to the size of the casino.
And "imperialist" oil companies don't have to do so. As long as they adopt a definite strategy and spend the money in place, they are almost destined to get an oil field, at least part of the equity of an oil field. In terms of probability and risk, they are more like doing financial management in a non-Chinese bank. There is a possibility of losing money, but it is basically stable.
In fact, if there is a choice, Sucheng is also willing to run a company like BP. However, the reality is that BP has a hundred times its resources. If Dahua Industry wants to obtain Aqijiu Oilfield, even if it is part of the equity, it can only take an abnormal way.
Weekend.
There will be a clear trend to end the negotiation, and more and more oil companies are gathering in Baku. Some small companies will gamble before opening, but most of them are quietly waiting for the end. According to the usual rules, even if the president of Azerbaijan decides, the oilfield bidding may be delayed for two or three years, and everyone has enough time.
PetroChina and CNOOC also sent a small team to Azerbaijan. They are crazy when they want to get out, and so far they have not been successful. They have no confidence in the seizure of the oil field in the eyes of the public, and they don't have so many resources. It's more like going through the scene.
The new ambassador who prepared the national letter also came to Baku in the name of the public counselor. He invited Su Cheng and others to the embassy party as soon as possible. This replacement also officially announced the end of Counsellor Liu's ambassador's dream, and at the same time heralded that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would adopt a new Central Asian policy.
On the contrary, Vice Minister Zheng is still in love with the stack and is looking forward to the opportunity. ( To be continued) RS
