super energy power

Beijing.

Su Cheng stood in the Olive Hall on the East Second Ring Road, looking up at the huge relief "Huaxia Civilization" above his head.On the two-story building and hundreds of meters wide, you can see bronze wares from the Warring States period, terracotta warriors and horses from the Qin Dynasty, jade pendants from the Han Dynasty, astronomical maps from the Song Dynasty, treasure ships from the Ming Dynasty, and modern Long March [-] carrier rockets, etc. .

And below it, there is another Huangze wood relief screen selected from "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival". The vivid Bianjing business district seems to be frozen at a certain point in time, quietly waiting for future generations to copy and worship .

Su Cheng's restless mind gradually calmed down.

This scene, in the eyes of Jiao Guoping who came after him, could only be a series of wry smiles.Based on his understanding of Su Cheng, the leisurely mood at this moment is likely to be due to holding back energy and wanting to make trouble.

Secretly alerting himself, Jiao Guoping resentfully said to Liu Minghao who was hiding in the corridor: "You can talk about what you left behind."

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

Jiao Guoping's voice was low and fast: "Minister Zheng asked you to speak because of your identity. I will accompany you out, but you have to come forward."

"No." Liu Minghao also said simply.He's an intelligence officer, yes, but that depends on who and what.There is no license to kill in the legend, and he is not 007 himself. He cannot even be regarded as a spy. At best, he is just an official serving in the intelligence system. The power model is not much different from officials in other systems, only the type is different. Well, if Su Cheng wants to pay attention to him, he will be very powerful. If Su Cheng ignores him, then he is free?

Jiao Guoping was even more reluctant to come forward.He suffered enough dark losses from Su Cheng.Fortunately, Zhou Lao's incense is there, and he has never provoked Su Cheng head-on, so he has a smooth future today, as far as Jiao Guoping is concerned.The work assigned by the above must be done, but you can't let yourself personally offend others for the sake of business.

Seeing that Liu Minghao's feet were rooted and refused to move, Jiao Guoping used his trump card and said, "Didn't you keep asking Minister Zheng to cooperate? If the Azerbaijani affairs cannot be suppressed, the Turkish side will definitely be unhappy. .We can wait, can you wait?"

The current government of Azerbaijan is implementing a policy of fully leaning towards Turkey.The ruling People's Front even made "Turkic" the national language.As a republic of the former Soviet Union, the widespread dissatisfaction caused by this move has caused the domestic situation in Azerbaijan to be unstable. However, the intensity of this policy tilt is also obviously fully supported by the Turkish government.In return, they will also help Azerbaijan put pressure on neighboring countries and cut off other countries' support for Azerbaijan's domestic opposition.Former Soviet officials like Aliyev are the ones Elchibey needs to look forward to in the united front.

As far as the general understanding of Chinese officials is concerned, although they don't care much about Azerbaijan, they care about Turkey, a regional power that straddles Europe and Asia.Liu Minghao's business scope.What's more, Turkey's cooperation is very much needed. This is half a private matter and half a business matter, so he can't help but not care about it.

Jiao Guoping's Shangfeng Minister Zheng used this matter to motivate Liu Minghao, but Cui Guoping used it again, and the effect was equally remarkable.

Liu Minghao gritted his teeth twice, shook his head and went up.Walking up to Su Cheng, he smiled and said, "What's the matter with Director Su coming this time?"

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

"How could that be? I was sent here too. Uh...that's not someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Liu Minghao made a sudden move and sold Jiao Guoping.

Jiao Guoping was about to come out when he heard Liu Minghao's words.That look is called a resentment.

Is this going to offend Su Cheng to the death?

He didn't care about Liu Minghao, he laughed three times, the echo resounded through the hall, he cupped his hands from a distance, and raised his voice: "Su Dong, we meet again. Don't get me wrong, I can't help myself. Isn't this Came here specially to explain.”

"There's no misunderstanding." Su Cheng turned half of his body slightly, and looked away from the relief.

Jiao Guoping was startled, don't really misunderstand, and hurriedly said: "I really didn't know about this matter, no, I didn't know about it beforehand, and only then did I know, so I came to see you..."

"I know." Su Cheng nodded.

"Know?" Jiao Guoping was puzzled.

Su Cheng said, "Suspend Dahua's overseas business. Naturally, it is up to senior officials to decide on such a matter."

Jiao Guoping didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but what Su Cheng said was right, he was not qualified to make such a decision.

"Long live the understanding." Seeing that Su Cheng didn't really misunderstand, Jiao Guoping shook his head and said.However, after rejoicing, he regretted that he was not qualified to make decisions after all.

Su Cheng looked at Jiao Guoping with a half-smile, then at Liu Minghao, and said, "I'm here this time because I hope to meet the one who decides this matter...Minister Zheng. It must be him."

Sure enough, I still came to find fault!

Jiao Guoping was not surprised that Su Cheng knew Minister Zheng.They had all been Mr. Zhou's staff, and Su Cheng was also recognized by Mr. Zhou as an expert on international issues.The people he knew back then, now there are not a few who hold real power, and there are even more people who can find out the news.

However, Su Cheng's request was by no means what Jiao Guoping wanted.

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

Jiao Guoping sighed secretly, and said: "Su Dong... Let's be honest, the colleagues in the Central Asia Bureau are not optimistic about the Aliyev you funded. I have asked several experts, and everyone said that even if Azerbaijan wants to change The president, first of all, it should be in their People's Front party, or at worst, it will also be Mamedov of the Independence Party, and it will not be Aliyev's turn... How do you say that you have supported him in the past? , It’s equivalent to sunk costs, and you can’t get it back. If you feel sorry for stopping the funding, or you can’t face it, just push it to us. In other words, the consistent principle of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to prohibit interference The internal affairs of other countries, because the Azerbaijani authorities raised it, they had to do it..."

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

Even Liu Minghao's expression relaxed a lot.

According to him.Sioux City's normal choice is to go downhill. Since Aliyev is no longer worth investing in, it is natural to end early to save money.

However, Sioux City never regarded Aliyev as a sunk cost.

From his point of view, now is the darkness before dawn, the last moment of burning cold stoves.At this time, it is too late to step up efforts to support Aliyev, so why talk about retreating.

Therefore, Sioux City said very displeasedly: "Eliqibey is currently in the final stage of regime instability. If it weren't for the overwhelming opposition in the country, he would not be able to make such a request to you."

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

Su Cheng sullenly, relaxed after a while, and said, "I have to listen to what Minister Zheng has to say."

Then, he added another sentence, saying: "If it is convenient, I would also like to see Your Excellency the Minister."

"Minister..." Jiao Guoping's lips trembled, and he said helplessly, "If you want to see Minister Zheng, that's enough for me. Seeing Minister, that's not something I can decide."

Su Cheng's eyes slit into a smile.Said: "I invested 1 million US dollars in Aliyev, even if it is thrown into the water, you have to let me know."

When the figure of 1 million US dollars was spit out, not only Jiao Guoping, but even Liu Minghao was shocked.

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

In 93, China's foreign exchange reserves were just over US$600 billion.The funds for diplomacy and intelligence are pitifully small. Even in the world, the diplomatic expenditure of 1 million yuan is extraordinary.Lee Teng-hui paid only 450 million US dollars to a consulting firm in Washington for his public relations visit to the United States, and he has already been amazed by domestic diplomats as a prodigal.And Lee Teng-hui clamored for the funding for Taiwan's accession to the UN, which was nothing more than "billions of dollars".

as a company.Spending $1 million on a dying old Soviet-era politician?

Jiao Guoping and Liu Minghao, who had done their homework, looked at Su Cheng again, with expressions of "you're crazy".

In the real world, lunatics 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 up to me..."

"If you tell me, he will definitely agree." Su Cheng smiled.Said: "Where should I wait for the news?"

"Oh, let's go to the reception room. We have quite a few reception rooms, all of which are pretty good." Jiao Guoping smiled and led the way ahead, his tone soothing like a tour guide suffering from laryngitis.

He also thought it over clearly, it would be best not to offend the lunatic who bet $1 million without blinking an eye.Even where he is now, that's definitely not worth $1 million.

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

If the dog bites the dog, it doesn't matter who wins.

Liu Minghao started to scratch his head, he understood the value of 1 million US dollars in the international market better than Jiao Guoping.At this time, it is indeed difficult for Su Cheng to stop supporting him.

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

Half an hour later, when Minister Zheng and His Excellency appeared in the meeting room together, Minister Zheng still said in a persuasive tone: "The situation in Azerbaijan is chaotic, we can not get involved...you may have heard The recent Yinhe incident, as well as the ongoing Olympic bid, all require the support of the international community. China's diplomatic principles, at this time, should be adhered to..."

In the 93 Olympic bid, the applicant applied for the 00 Olympic Games.

Sioux City doesn't remember much about China's Olympic bid process, but he was deeply impressed by the Sydney Olympic Games. Knowing that the Olympic bid failed, he naturally lost awe, and smiled: "What does the Olympic bid have to do with Azerbaijan.... "

Minister Zheng frowned, and said: "Our bid for the Olympic Games is inevitable. Not only the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also enterprises and institutions across the country must cooperate as much as possible. Although Dahua Industrial is a private enterprise, we also hope that Dahua Industry can take responsibility..."

Minister Zheng is a black-faced man of medium build, a bit like the brigade secretary in the TV movie at this time, although his speech is more level, but it is inevitable.

Su Cheng resisted so much that he didn't show any impatient look, and said with a straight face: "Our Dahua Industrial is an energy company, and what we do is energy business. It is of course very good that the Olympic bid can enhance China's international influence. However, Is it putting the cart before the horse by asking us to give up the oil fields we have acquired for the sake of the Olympics?"

The minister sitting in the middle heard the important point, and said strangely: "Dahua Industrial acquired the oil fields in Azerbaijan?"

"This is a prerequisite for supporting Aliyev. He promised. Once the time is right, Chinese companies will become the number one partner in Azerbaijan's oil industry..." Sioux City slightly modified the name of Dahua Industrial to China Enterprise, making it sound nicer.Of course, the original commitment itself will not change.

But Minister Zheng smiled and said: "The prerequisite for Dahua Industrial to obtain the oil field is Aliyev's coming to power. How is this possible... If Aliyev came to power, we will deal with Iran, Armenia, Georgia and Turkey. Policies have to be changed...Central Asia Bureau must be idlers."

"Colleagues from the Central Asia Bureau of your Ministry. If you have to pay attention to so many countries in Central Asia at the same time, it is understandable to miss Azerbaijan..." Su Cheng first helped them explain.In fact, the same is true. So many countries in Central Asia have just experienced the turmoil of the disintegration of the Soviet Union. It is the stage when all kinds of strange things are popping up. It is not surprising that experts can't grasp the pulse.On the contrary, when Minister Zheng said this, he was a bit suspicious.

Minister Zheng obviously didn't think he was wrong. He tapped Su Cheng in the air with his finger, and said in a joking tone: "I think you won't cry until you see the coffin. It's such a big thing as the Olympic bid. It's such a big thing as diplomacy. And how can you, a small private company, be able to command. Listen to me, the principle of China’s diplomacy is non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. This principle, you say, can’t be changed. So, I don’t care if you are in If you have any business in Azerbaijan, you have to withdraw it to me."

What he said was extremely rude, and Su Cheng's face was also very hurt.Since he became Su Dong, especially after getting the support of Mr. Zhou, he was rarely reprimanded face to face like this.

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

It's not something to be ashamed of.It's angry!

Minister Zheng is also breathing heavily. He is the deputy minister in charge of Central Asian affairs. One-third of an acre of land in his home was invaded by a private company, and he made the opposite decision. temper.

He didn't swear, it was because Minister Zheng was looking at other people's face.I have restrained myself.

It's a pity that Su Cheng didn't lose his anger just because he scolded lightly.

He stood up sullenly, and said, "So, Minister Zheng wants me to stop supporting Aliyev?"

"That's right." Minister Zheng dismissed Su Cheng's anger.Today's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is no longer the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that Mr. Zhou was when he was a member of the Central Advisory Committee. He has nothing to be jealous of.

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

Minister Zheng was a little hesitant at this moment, and said: "What is between you, you explain it yourself."

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

Jiao Guoping silently recited "Fire at the gate of the city will harm the fish in the pond", and he stood up bravely and said, "I mean, in private."

Su Cheng pouted, obviously not agreeing with his words.

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

"Yes."

"In this way, I will issue an official letter requesting foreign trade companies to abide by domestic and foreign foreign policies and diplomatic disciplines, and you can explain it to Aliyev yourself." Minister Zheng gave a harmless conclusion to himself.

Su Cheng nodded.Such content plus time is enough to explain the problem.

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

As he said that, he asked Jiao Guoping to draft the official letter, signed and stamped it on the spot, and asked the minister to sign it beside him, handed it to Su Cheng in person, and then patted him on the shoulder in a friendly way.

It seemed as if all the stern voices in front were illusory.

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

The minister had nothing to do with this matter, he smiled like a peacemaker and said, "Guoping, you go see it off, don't treat him slowly."

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

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

Suffocated, Su Cheng stopped abruptly, looked at Jiao Guoping like a wolf, bared his teeth in disdain, and said, "I'm going to open up the territory."

"what?"

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

Jiao Guoping felt something, staring blankly at Su Cheng's back as he turned around the screen of "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival", passed through the relief sculpture of "Chinese Civilization", and gradually moved away...
