super energy power

Guo Jingxiang, Minister Zheng's confidant, came to Baku with Jiao Guoping.

Sioux City smuggled out of the country, so naturally he was desperate, and he couldn't return.But this kind of abnormal behavior is tantamount to setting Minister Zheng, who is promoting this matter, on the fire.

Caught off guard, Minister Zheng had no choice but to send out his most trusted and capable people to "persuade" Su Cheng to return to China and admit his mistake.Of course, Minister Zheng didn't think that Aliyev would be able to take over the position, so he dispatched Guo Jingxiang out of consideration of face.

Guo Jingxiang didn't take this as a big deal, he still went on a business trip abroad. When he arrived in Azerbaijan, he first went to the embassy for the autumn wind, and then looked for the local shops, thinking about buying two fur coats, or carpets and tapestries. .

The attache of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who came with him also couldn't hold back, and rushed to the streets one after another, buying some valuable products as much as possible to go back.Azerbaijan, like Afghanistan, is rich in wool.In the era when Chinese people could not tell the difference between cashmere sweaters and woolen sweaters, European countries began to purchase cashmere and wool from Azerbaijan and Afghanistan. Although the sweaters and leather clothes made locally were crude, the materials were not good enough to be brought back to China. Still a rare gift.

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

Jiao Guoping admired Sioux City's courage to fight to the death, but it was difficult to understand his approach.

In his eyes, Sioux City is like a mouse in a bellows.The country does not wait to see his actions, and the Azerbaijani authorities hate him even more.

Not to mention Baku, the base camp of Elchibey, even a slightly remote city in Azerbaijan, I am afraid that foreign speculators like Sioux City will not be welcomed.

In view of this, Jiao Guoping specially asked the staff of the embassy in charge of liaison, saying: "Remember to tell Sioux City that we can ask him to determine the meeting place. It can be done at home or abroad, Iran, the United States or Europe. Will arrive on time."

However, it is unexpected.That afternoon, Su Cheng called back and invited to meet at dinner time.

It's not a multi-person call, or a prepaid phone from a foreign country, but an ordinary phone from Azerbaijan.The correspondent of the embassy even directly told Jiao Guoping the address: "Shaqi Hotel. It's in the city center."

"It's in the city center." Jiao Guoping repeated, feeling weird.

"Do you want to notify Director Guo?" The correspondent said flatteringly, "Send someone out to look for it now. It's just in time."

Except for the ambassador, the staff of the embassy are a head lower than those in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Guo Jingxiang and Jiao Guoping are for the embassy in Azerbaijan.He is already half an imperial envoy.

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

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

"That's it." Jiao Guoping was puzzled, not understanding how Su Cheng dared to appear in Baku just like that.

In the past week or two, the foreign ministries of Azerbaijan and Turkey have been urging the Chinese foreign ministry to give an explanation almost three times a day.If not.He and Guo Jingxiang would not come here in a hurry.

According to Jiao Guoping's thinking, Su Cheng should be hiding somewhere like a frightened bird.How dare you invite to meet in the center of Baku.

Could it be that he didn't come here by himself?What about the voice on the phone?

Jiao Guoping's head was getting big, and his expression was also changing.

The correspondent next to him looked at him in admiration, and thought to himself: The ones from the ministry are different, and it takes so long to think about a phone call.

Wait and wait, wait and wait. 3 minutes passed, 5 minutes passed, 10 minutes passed, Jiao Guoping still didn't speak...

The correspondent couldn't sit still and squirmed.

Jiao Guoping frowned when he heard the voice.Ask: "Why are you still here?"

The correspondent wanted to grab the ground with his head: Am I still waiting for your order?

I can only think about this in my heart, but I can't say it out. The correspondent can only say softly: "Then...do you want to inform Director Guo?"

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

"Let's go and notify." The correspondent lowered his head, holding back the desire to hit the man's jaw.

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 those of foreign officials.Therefore, diplomats from European and American countries can buy souvenirs in Baku as they please.Chinese diplomats can only go to the suburbs.

It was almost 6 o'clock in the evening that the staff of the embassy found Guo Jingxiang.He was haggling with Azerbaijani natives in Russian, trying to buy a Soviet-style army coat with a fur collar.

This style of Soviet military overcoat, I don’t know which former Soviet Union’s munitions warehouse it came from. The quality is good, but it is not liked by Europeans and Americans, but it is very suitable for China.The staff of the embassy who came to see Guo Jingxiang fell in love with it at first glance, and asked repeatedly in Russian: "'Fellowship', is there any more?"

The old Azerbaijani man who sold the goods nodded familiarly and said, "There are three more."

"Exactly, there are three of us." The staff of the embassy cheerfully pointed at themselves, their companions, and Guo Jingxiang next to them.

As a Beijing official, Guo Jingxiang was also desperately poor. He had bargained for a long time just now, and now that he had a companion, he didn't miss the opportunity.

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

Four people dragged a military coat, discussed it from head to toe, and finally bought it at a price of more than 30 dollars.This money will naturally be saved from their daily subsidies.However, if the saved money 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, and felt that the main task of the trip to Azerbaijan had been completed, so he said with a relaxed smile, "You two belong to the embassy, ​​why did you come here?"

"We're here to look for you." The driver carefully put away his coat and said with a smile, "Director Jiao, please go back. He said that the person he was looking for has been found."

"Found it? Where is it?" Guo Jingxiang was overjoyed. This is double happiness. He bought a cheap fur coat and found Su Cheng.

The driver shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything in detail, I just said we'll meet at dinner time."

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

"Seven or eight o'clock."

"What time is it?" Guo Jingxiang looked up at the sky.I only felt that it was gray and gray, and the question became angry.

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

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

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

Looking at the expressions of the two, Guo Jingxiang could guess what they were thinking, and got into the car dumbfounded.He said in a muffled voice, "Go back to the embassy, ​​hurry up."

The driver dared not say a word.On the bad road in Baku, Guo Jingxiang's teeth hurt when he drove the fist-sized Polish little Douding at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.

When they arrived at the embassy, ​​Jiao Guoping couldn't wait to leave. Guo Jingxiang asked the location and ordered the driver to go to Shaqi Hotel.

This time the road conditions were better, but only limited.

After Guo Jingxiang got off the car, his face was pale, and he walked quickly into the hall.Seeing Jiao Guoping, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is anyone here?"

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

"Why did you meet in this kind of 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, leaned against it comfortably, and said, "I guess this guy is trying to trick us. The control of the Azerbaijani authorities is a little weak, but Baku can't say anything." It's the capital, even if you dare to come to Sucheng, you don't dare to come out in a big way, let alone make an appointment by phone..."

Having said that, seeing Jiao Guoping's strange expression, he asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you, Old Jiao?"

Jiao Guoping twitched the corner of his mouth twice, and said, "Sucheng is here."

"coming?"

Guo Jingxiang blinked before he understood what Jiao Guoping was talking about.Unbelievably turned around.

Sure enough, Su Cheng, whom he had seen several times in the photos, was walking over with a smile on his face.

There was no sneaking around, no looking left and right, and no shackles or handcuffs, just walked over in a completely aboveboard manner.

Su Cheng was accompanied by a whole group of people.There are translators, bodyguards, accountants, lawyers and business assistants.That style is much bigger than in China.

It doesn't matter if you don't have much style, he passes tens of millions of dollars every day, not only needs to settle the accounts, but also needs to protect the money.In addition, Azerbaijani politicians who want money find opportunities to contact Aliyev and Sioux City, and there are indispensable people around them.

As for the Baku government, under the silver bullet offensive, its role is really limited.The police chief and garrison commander of Baku took dollars from Sioux City, so how dare they prevent him from moving freely.

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

Elich Beixing may be a good young man with ideals and aspirations, but most of the other people in the government are left over from the former Soviet era. Not to mention their administrative ability, their ability to embezzle money is not inferior to their predecessors of.

In the Caspian oil circle, this skill will be passed on for a long time.

With the domestic thinking mode, Jiao Guoping was completely unable to guess the causal relationship inside, and his surprise was beyond words: "Why did you come here like this?"

Su Cheng laughed out loud, and said, "If I don't come here like this, how should I come here?"

"Will the Baku authorities arrest you?" Guo Jingxiang was particularly surprised.In the past month, the Azerbaijani authorities have written a lot of protest documents. How come they arrived in Baku, but instead saw the generous appearance of Sioux City Daming in the city center.

Su Cheng can't always say that I am smiling at people who bribe me from all sides.

He simply shrugged and pretended to be cool: "Speak, you can contact me, what's the matter?"

Jiao Guoping remained silent.

As Minister Zheng's confidant, Guo Jingxiang stood up and said, "From the point of view of the country, it is better to invite Su Dong to return to China."

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

"Elichibey's term of office is still long, and at Aliyev's age, he may not be able to wait." Guo Jingxiang paused and continued: "If he becomes president by illegal means, the country will not recognize it. Therefore, Su Dong still hopes to return to China quickly."

"After all, you still want me to stop supporting Aliyev. It's no different from the official letter issued to me by Minister Zheng."

"We came here this time to show our attitude. Could it be that Dong Su really doesn't want Dahua Industrial anymore?" Guo Jingxiang's threat this time was more specific.

Su Cheng frowned, sniffed and said, "With you alone, you still can't eat my Dahua Industry."

Guo Jingxiang turned away in embarrassment, shook his head and said, "Su Dong, don't be obsessed with your obsession. Supporting foreign political parties is very serious..."

"This is what I call risk." Su Cheng sighed suddenly, and turned his head to the right.

Beside him was the little Aliyev with a silly face.He listened to the translation just now and said with deep emotion: "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 is my idea to invite you here today."

Guo Jingxiang and Jiao Guoping were stunned.It's one thing for them to threaten Su Cheng, but it's another thing to face a boss-level character on someone else's territory.

Little Aliyev didn't need them to talk, and said to himself: "Before I met you, I still thought that there is a traditional friendship between China and Azerbaijan. As a member of the former Soviet Politburo, my father should have a relationship with the Chinese government." Yuanyuan, I never thought that you would rather destroy Mr. Su Cheng's company than support the Aliyev family..."

Jiao Guoping didn't want to bear such a crime, so he hurriedly said, "Mr. Aliyev..."

"Stop talking, I'll treat you to a good show today." Aliyev clapped his hands as he spoke, and a beautiful welcome lady came up.

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

"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 war fought by a group of idiots..." Aliyev commented and continued: "Since yesterday, all parts of Azerbaijan have There have been demonstrations, and according to our guess, the demonstrations in the Baku area are about to begin."

"Parade..." Jiao Guoping and Guo Jingxiang turned their heads three times before realizing that this is Azerbaijan, a "democratic country", and the parade here is completely different from China's victory parade.

In developed democracies, even if a large number of demonstrations occur, there will be no great harm, but in underdeveloped democracies, demonstrations often turn into riots...

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