Chapter 457: Alam

Almaty is a green city and claims to be the garden city of Central Asia. If it weren't for the bumpy flight, it wouldn't be much like the so-called famous cities of Europe. 、

Although it was the time of the CIS, during the landing of the planes, you could still see collective farms in the oases, as well as small and medium-sized factories painted red. The area of the airport is very large, and dozens of planes can be seen to be parked with the naked eye, some new and some old, which is no worse than the domestic ones.

In the process of the collapse of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan was not affected much by the presence of iron-fisted President Nursultan Nazarbayev, and its economic situation was better than that of the 15 union republics. ZTE's Caspian oil originated here, which has a lot to do with the calmness of the Kazakhs.

The action of the plane landing was quite light, Yan Xuecan, Wang Guan and Li Jianxia each picked up their luggage, and followed Su Cheng curiously, looking left and right.

Gu Hongjun and Yang Ming took the lead and explored the way forward. Several people intentionally or unintentionally sandwiched Su Cheng and Shulan in the middle, behind them, were Dahua employees belonging to different departments, and the number of the entire Dahua delegation reached 22 people, even if it was an official delegation, it was large enough.

However, most of them will not stay long, but will go to the north of Kazakhstan, as well as to Azerbaijan and Turkey.

Kazakhstan covers a huge area of 2.7 million square kilometers, which is about one-third of China's, and is the second largest CIS country after the Russian Federation.

Outside the airport, there were already 6 cars prepared by the advance team, as well as an equal number of drivers and interpreters.

Although Wang Guan and Li Jianxia both know the foreign languages of the three countries, they are proficient in Russian. But the Kazakh language is commonly spoken in Kazakhstan. Therefore, local students were arranged to work as part-time translators, who had received a short period of training, became familiar with some professional language and sentence patterns, and made a report on the collected information, in order to enable the members of the delegation to understand the situation in Kazakhstan as quickly as possible.

Su Cheng sat in the passenger seat, leaning slightly and listening to the introduction of translator Liu Qiang.

This is a dignified young man, who looks a little older than he really is. Quite old-fashioned: "Kazakhstan is not the same as other member states of the former Soviet Union, probably because the continuity is better, the wave of name changes from other places has not become popular in Almaty, the original buildings, and even the party emblem or something." Some are still hanging. On the wall of the main building of our school, there is still an oversized slogan, studying and living like Lenin. ”

When Liu Qiang said this, everyone couldn't help but smile.

Liu Qiang peeked at Su Cheng and knew that he was the chairman of Dahua Industrial, so he deliberately adjusted his sitting posture and said, "The local area is more special or troublesome." It's a national question. There are more than 100 ethnic groups in Kazakhstan, only 40% of the population is Kazakh, and 38% of the population is Russian, so. Kazakhstan is the only country in Central Asia where the population does not exceed 50 per cent, and in my opinion, Kazakhstan can maintain the situation it is today. President Nursultan Nazarbayev owes a lot of money. His popularity in Kazakhstan is also high, and he is called a national hero. It is the idol of many young people. ”

"This person is the person we want to focus on. Sioux City commented. Nazarbayev remained in power until 20 years later, making him one of the few political evergreens. Although Sioux City is uncertain about the exact time of his reign, it is inevitable that it will last for 10 years and complete the relocation of Almaty.

For oil students, the relocation of Kazakhstan's capital will have a significant impact on the Caspian oil landscape, which is usually covered by oil history, so Sioux is confident that Nazarbayev's term will be extended until at least 2000.

Others naturally think it's normal to focus on the president. Liu Qiang then went on to introduce Kazakhstan's industry and commerce, as well as commodity prices. Like Russia, it is also a former Soviet Union with strong heavy industry and weak light industry, and for the upper class, they will value cash more, and for the middle and lower class Kazakhs, physical goods may be more motivating their initiative.

Wang Guan took notes on paper seriously, especially when Liu Qiang talked about jeans for 250 rubles, denim for 300 rubles, and down coats for 1,300 rubles, his eyes widened. That's more than three times the domestic price.

He stopped his waist and said softly: "If we get some light industrial products, won't we make a profit?"

Liu Qiang smiled and said, "There are many people doing this kind of business now, but it is becoming more and more difficult to do." When I used to come to school, the road was full of people with big bags and small bags, but now there are a little more. ”

"How?"

"It's better to come to Kazakhstan than to Russia. Moreover, the largest light industry dealers are Russians, they have a wide network and channel advantages, and most of the Chinese do business on our side. "Liu

Qiang unconsciously looked at Su Cheng and said, "In the past two years, many Chinese came to do border trade, and some companies heard that it was the whole train wagon pulling goods. ”

Su Cheng smiled slightly, when Dahua was in the collapse of the Soviet Union, he did border trade for a period of time, which was not a secret thing.

In about 20 minutes, the convoy arrived at the hotel.

It is a four-storey, hundreds of meters long, with a small curve, revealing fifty or sixty windows, and dark red bricks are scattered in a classical style.

Yang Ming took the lead in pushing the door and getting out of the car, and said loudly: "Everyone has half an hour of rest, take a shower and change clothes or something, just gather quickly, we booked a conference room on the 4th floor." ”

"Ahem. Liu Qiang raised his hand, immediately put it down, and said: "The city's water supply is relatively tight, and the bathroom is open for a limited time. ”

Su Cheng patted his forehead unexpectedly. Before the exchange of black gold into US dollars, the urban construction of Central Asian countries remained at the level of the 70s, and if it were not for external hotels, independent toilets were a luxury.

The journey from Asia to Europa and back to Central Asia was so exhausting that no one said anything, so they went to their room with their luggage.

At most, a quarter of an hour later, people went to the conference room one after another.

This secret journey must be a race against time, and no one knows when PetroChina will find out about their actions, and if it causes interference, it will be difficult to do.

In the low conference room, no one spoke, so when they came, they found a place to sit down and silently thought about their own affairs.

It wasn't until Su Cheng came in that Yang Ming stood up: "Chairman, do you want to start?"

"Let's get started. ”

Yan Xuecan stood up and said with a serious face: "Yes." We are now assigning Kazakh government officials to each person in charge, and in terms of oil pipelines, the Information Directorate believes that there are 48 key people who will affect the pipeline project. Among them, there were 32 influential officials in the early stage, 26 influential officials during the construction period, 18 people who maintained the pipeline in the later stage, and 28 people who were repeated. Now, our first target is the 32 influential officials in the early stage, please look at the illustration......"

I saw an A0-sized picture hanging on the wall, and a row of improvised numbers was hung in the shape of a Christmas tree.

Yan Xuecan pointed to the illustration and said, "We are now classifying 32 officials. There were 3 persons in category A, 8 persons in category B and 21 persons in categories C and D. In the last week, one group targeted B01 to B03, 2 groups targeted B04 and B05, 3 groups were responsible for B06 to B08, and 4 groups were tasked with touching categories C and D...... The information of the person represented by each number will be sent to the respective responsible groups at that time. Everyone, please note that the group must be absolutely confidential and cannot exchange information......"

Wang Guan raised his hand and asked, "What about Class A?"

"I'm in charge of category A. Sioux lifted his chin.

Wang Guan and the others stopped talking for a while.

Su Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Go on." ”

Yan Xuecan nodded and continued: Your job is mainly to contact the target, release friendly messages, and do not allow easy promises, nor do you allow private money and power transactions......

Although it had long been prepared to bribe these greedy Central Asian officials, it was impossible for Sioux City to let ordinary employees operate the matter themselves.

It would be great if the various groups of the delegation could solve the communication problems in the early stage.

As for category A targets, they are actually the president and the bloc. Theoretically, Nazarbayev has absolute power in Kazakhstan and does his job, and no one else cares about it.

However, in the real world, it is a foolish thing to just kill Hades without a little imp. Half of the power structures in Kazakhstan are directly converted from the CPSU, including Nazarbayev himself, who was also the secretary of the CPSU, and has been quite skilled in dealing with them.

In principle, even if you don't need the help of dozens of Kazakh officials, then make sure that they don't make trouble.

In Sioux City's shallow experience, officials have always had a much greater ability to make trouble than they were to help.

During the time-constrained journey, the meeting was very brief. The need to unify thinking or something was done as early as in China.

As soon as Sioux City announced the end of the meeting, the groups rushed out of the hotel impatiently.

Instead, Sioux City, waiting in the hotel with peace of mind.

Kazakhstan is not the same as countries like the UAE. After about 10 years of turmoil, officials here are generally not very self-disciplined.

Relying on crooked ways to make money, or to get gray income, is something that almost every official will do.

Therefore, Sioux City did not need to find a special key person as a stepping stone, he only used a first-level bribe to go up, and it would not take a few days for Mr. President to receive the news.
