Despite attending many banquets, Sioux City still didn't quite adapt to the atmosphere of a Western-style banquet.

However, the true protagonist of a banquet never needs to learn etiquette.

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to cocktail, the beauty will bring you a cup of it, and after tasting it with red lips, it will be introduced to you with a breath.

It doesn't matter if you don't know the etiquette of the banquet, the beautiful women surround you, as long as you don't prostitute in public, others will not see your banquet etiquette.

Don't know how to chat, it doesn't matter, the beauty laughs before you speak, no matter what you say, in short, you have to show that you are wise and powerful, great and glamorous...... Whoever says something makes them angry - and says you don't know how to speak, professionally trained!

Sioux City's age is one of the reasons why major oil companies choose to break through the beauty array, and at this moment, he is like a cat, falling into the gentle array.

After the beauty warmed up for more than ten minutes, half of Su Cheng's body was grabbed by a maroon French beauty, she held Su Cheng, pressed his arm tightly on her chest, and blocked the other women with subtle steps, while laughing in English: "I am the representative of the French company Fina, we have done business with Dahua Industrial, and we have rented the offshore drilling platform produced by you, which is very good." However, we also have our own technology, such as marine exploration, which is lower than its peers, and it is quite efficient, our exploration aircraft can complete 200 square kilometers of marine exploration work per day, and this year, we explored two oil fields in North Africa in just three months. ”

"Fina, that's a good name. Sioux looked left at him.

The French beauty laughed twice, leaned into her ear, and exhaled hotly: "Yes, it's not just the name." ”

Being vaguely touched by the sexy lips, Su Cheng was still a little itchy. With great perseverance, he tried to push her away, but unexpectedly touched a sensitive spot again.

The French beauty said "ah". He immediately smiled and said, "It seems that you are very willing to cooperate." ”

Sioux quickly withdrew his hand and said in English with a dry smile as he reminisced, "To be honest, I have no intention of cooperating with a foreign company. ”

"Why?"

"If you know my journey in Azerbaijan, you should know how much I have paid, and I will not give up my interests in the end. ”

"Because of your great efforts, we at Feina are willing to give up control in the cooperation. You can get at least 51% of the shares. ”

Su Cheng pursed his lips and didn't bother to answer. The French obviously want to take a free ride, not to mention 51%, and give 90% to earn.

There were thirty or forty oil companies present, to say the least. Again, this has something to do with China, or a very large oil company. However, even if it is a subcontracted oil contract, the number of oil companies that can finally get the contract will not be too many, and the super-large-scale oil field can accommodate fifteen to twenty is the limit, with the idea of Sioux City. If he doesn't monopolize it, he can be regarded as worthy of the capitalists of various countries.

Most oil companies are unlikely to be able to secure contracts for large oil fields on their own. If you want to get it, you have to take a huge risk, like Sioux City. It takes a lot of effort.

Foreigners also understand the truth of asking for a sky-high price and paying back the money on the ground.

The French beauty still insisted on being rejected, and smiled and leaned against Su Cheng, saying, "I heard." Dahua didn't have the support of the Chinese government, which was the same thing we did in the '80s, when the Lambert cabinet didn't like us very much. Total had all kinds of cooperation from the government, and we could only eat some scraps. Since then, Finer has focused on government relations...... Now, like Total, Finer has the full support of the Élysée Palace. As you know, Finner is not as big as Total, so we have a lot of resources at our disposal. If Dahua needs some cooperation from the government, it is ideal to cooperate with Fina. We can take care of all government relations except the State of Azerbaijan, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey...... Even China ......"

On this occasion, there is really no one who is easy to get along with.

Even if Su Cheng decided not to cooperate, he was still moved.

Officials are afraid of foreigners, and foreigners are afraid of the people. Dahua Industrial is a private enterprise, and its current troubles are really more from China.

If you work with a foreign company, many problems can be solved. As the French beauty said, a company with high government resources on a scale similar to Dahua Industrial is clearly more desirable than a large multinational corporation with a super scale.

So, in the Azerbaijani project, put on the skin of a foreign enterprise?

Su Cheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Dahua Industrial has not yet acquired any Azerbaijani oil fields. It is possible to subcontract some services if obtained. Are you interested?"

Subcontracting services means that there is no share of equity and oil, which is the most tasteless part of oil development, like a bone that has been gnawed, the scale is not small, the oil and water are pitiful, and at most there is some soup.

The French beauty hesitated, she naturally wanted to get a high value-added project. The French oil companies are among the best in Europe, they have world-class salaries and world-class vacation systems, they have raised generations of romantic, lazy French people, and at the same time, they have one of the best governments in Europe, and their public relations scores are much higher than those of China in the 90s.

Therefore, if it were just a bone, the French company would rather not gnaw. However, Finner expects to open a gap in this way.

The French beauty has not yet made a decision, and the Japanese beauty who is half a head shorter than her on the side laughed, and said in a middle way: "We INPEX are willing to undertake the subcontracting project of Dahua Industrial, and we are also willing to cooperate with the government public relations project of Dahua Industrial." ”

Inpex is a lesser-known, but powerful Japanese oil company. Due to their late development, they have always liked the oil fields of Central Asia. Historically, among the nine foreign oil companies that have eaten the Azijiu oilfield, INPEX accounted for 1,086%, ranking third.

Of course, any oil company, as long as you can hear the name. It's not much weaker. It's normal for a company like IEPEX to come up with billions of dollars in cash, and Fina is no exception.

As for those well-known oil companies, they are super companies that can come up with tens of billions of dollars, but they are not used to support the stinky feet of Sioux City.

This is naturally not because they are relatively thin-skinned, but because they have a relatively large appetite, and they can't take a 50% ride on a ride.

Inpex's preemption made the French beauty of the Finer company angry, and she grabbed Sioux City's arm. "Our technology, capital and government resources are sufficient, and we are willing to accept subcontracting from Dahua Industrial. ”

"We do, too. "This time it's the turn of the American companies, who are always the vultures of the market, and a newly established company dares to snatch the lion's food.

Su Cheng was busy, and the Chinese in the embassy were dumbfounded.

Although many are diplomats. But who has ever seen this.

In the 90s, the production rate of Chinese enterprises was not necessarily lower than that of Hong Kong, but the pressure on exports was heavier than that of Taishan. How many companies that are masters in China, when they go abroad, they can't wait to go all the way to the Statue of Liberty, the kind of piety that pursues commerce and trade, and those who see it are sad and cry......

Companies such as PetroChina export crude oil that cannot be processed. On the one hand, it imports refined oil that cannot be processed, and it makes money very happily, but in order to make this money, it can't stand up in foreign waists.

Not to mention the borders of Azerbaijan. Companies that come here either have money, technology, or government resources. And at least one of them is top-notch. So, let alone a Chinese company. What can give respect to Chinese officials is the result of people's quality education, and it is a manifestation of clarity and politeness.

In the world of the 90s, there were few Chinese who could be looked down upon, and even fewer Chinese and Chinese companies who could be begged for by knees.

"People are more popular than people. Han Chenghang looked at the beauties around Su Cheng, and then looked at the bald and bald heads, short and fat men and old men around him, drank half a glass of wine silently, and then said to Jiao Guoping: "When Su Dong comes out, we have to have a good chat for a while, it all depends on your introduction." ”

"It's no problem to introduce him, I'm afraid he won't be able to pull out. Jiao Guoping's eyes widened in surprise......

"It's okay, just wait. Han Chenghang said as if talking to himself: "I didn't expect him to attract so many foreigners, I knew that this was the case, I should have asked him to help invite some friends." ”

"These foreign businessmen are afraid that they are following the smell of the oil fields. ”

"So, are they optimistic about Aliyev?"

"Aliyev doesn't have to win. "Jiao Guoping is no longer willing to judge the situation in Azerbaijan, there are too many variables.

Han Chenghang nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "You say, is Su Dong interested in the people sent by Minister Zheng?"

He took a fancy to the resources of Su City and was ready to sell Minister Zheng's rhythm.

Jiao Guoping was stunned, although he also sold Minister Zheng to Su Cheng, but it was obviously not as popular as Han Chenghang's style. After thinking about it, Jiao Guoping said: "Su Dong must be happy, but ......"

"That's okay, the white-clothed Economic and Trade Bureau over there, as well as Secretary Li you have seen, is Minister Zheng's person, you tell Su Dong, just say that I support him. When Han Chenghang said this, he paused and said with a smile: "It's all up to you for me to greet the others." ”

Jiao Guoping took a job stupidly.

Fortunately, Sioux City was not trapped in Gentle Country for too long.

At about 9 p.m., several companies were promised to discuss cooperation, and Sioux City was liberated. Don't look at a group of beauties around, nine out of ten are masters of playing ambiguous, and the one who is willing to do something must ask for ridiculously high prices.

After the baptism of the beauties, Sioux City has no interest in the men holding the glasses next. Jiao Guoping chose a vacancy and went up to relay Han Chenghang's words.

Su Cheng smiled dumbly and said, "It seems that Minister Zheng is really not good, you and this Ambassador Han are using him as a springboard." ”

"I heard that the minister didn't want to see him, so it didn't matter to him. Jiao Guoping told the truth. He and Han Chenghang are both cadres at the deputy department level, and if they meet the deputy minister in their heyday, they will naturally retreat, but they will have less respect for the deputy minister whose work has been adjusted and he doesn't know how many small shoes he has to wear.

"When did you be so honest. Su Cheng made a joking comment, and then said, "What is the specific background of these two people, can you help me find out?"

This is not the age of the Internet, and the only way to find detailed information about an official is in government files. If it is a non-public channel, then you can only find someone to ask, which is not so convenient.

Jiao Guoping's connections accumulated in the old Zhou era can play a role at this time.

He stared at Su Cheng for a while and asked, "I can find out the information, you should be cautious in handling it." ”

"Didn't you tell me to use tricks?"

"I'm afraid that we don't understand the same means, so you have to consider a milder trick. ”

"Don't worry, my tricks are very gentle. Su Cheng smiled and showed his snow-white and sharp teeth.

It didn't take long for a large wave of Azerbaijanis to approach.

They introduced themselves and represented the campaign offices of Aliyev, Husseinov and Mamedov, respectively.

I believe they themselves can't tell what the use of this purely Westernized campaign office is, but when people come, they have to entertain them, and the personnel of the Chinese embassy still greet them.

The Azerbaijanis who came were also very practical, while picking the most expensive things to eat, while desperately pouring vodka into their mouths, and at the same time not forgetting to chat with the Chinese: Who do you support?

Most of the diplomats will not express their position, and the Azerbaijanis will not entangle, but the three people assigned to Secretary Li and Section Chief Wang of the Economic and Trade Commission in the white shirt are obviously masters.

Before the banquet ended, Secretary Li and Section Chief Wang, who thought they were on the line, had almost leaked the purpose of the trip.

They came to the same people sent by Minister Zheng to contact Mamedov and Husseinov, who were still worried about how to do things, but now they have a good opportunity and immediately take advantage of it.

In addition to not saying Minister Zheng's name, the two of them couldn't wait to do a B-ultrasound to show their hearts.

In the end, they made an appointment with the heads of the two campaign offices for the next meeting, and Le Taotao went back.

Jiao Guoping saw the end from the beginning, and then asked Su Cheng curiously: "Do you want to get another official letter from Minister Zheng? He suffered this loss, and it is impossible to leave any evidence." ”

"These two men are the proof. ”

"Then how do you send it back to China?"

"You say, if the two Azerbaijani newspapers published separately, the Chinese Foreign Minister fully supported Husseinov, and the Chinese Foreign Minister fully supported Mamedov's two reports, and then fought each other, would it be enough to attract attention?"

"This is your ungentle method?" Jiao Guoping was not confident enough, otherwise he would have yelled out.

"I promise to let the two newspapers tell the truth. ”

"It's going to kill people. Jiao Guoping was chilled all over his body. If this matter had not been operated by Sioux City, it would have been a silent little story, and it was a big deal that Aliyev came to power and lost his temper. If he can't get on the stage, Minister Zheng will earn it.

But let Sioux City do this, like a Western election campaign, the media doesn't know what jokes will come up. When the time comes, I am afraid that these jokes will all fall on Minister Zheng.

……

ps: There was something during the day these two days, and it became an evening update again.

Tomorrow afternoon is still to entertain people, and if it can't be updated by the afternoon, it will still have to fall into the evening.
