Ilham is like a strengthened version of Aliyev, younger, more talkative, more confident, and more playful in conversation.

He is in the prime of life, knows three or four foreign languages, and is especially fluent in English. For 30 years before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ilham was the standard second-generation Soviet officer: he went to the best red schools, received preparatory cadre education, went on vacation to the Warsaw Pact countries twice a year, enjoyed judicial and criminal privileges, enjoyed delicious caviar and mellow vodka, and a refreshing Baltic girl, a pure Russian girl......

When the elder Aliyev was still a member of the Central Committee of the CPSU, Arham graduated from the graduate school of the Moscow Institute of International Relations and immediately stayed on to teach, following the traditional routine of academia and politics.

However, when the elder Aliyev stepped down, all Arham could do was a businessman, and similar to the Komsomol members he had been in contact with in Sioux City, Arham made a lot of money from the shadow of the elder Aliyev, which was the main fund that supported Aliyev in the past two years.

Azerbaijan in the early 90s was like China in the era of the Republic of China, with many great powers, and it was impossible to do without money, not just money. The rich and powerful warlords are the most powerful.

Arham returned to Azerbaijan last year and began to work for his father's throne, and after sitting on the empty side, he welcomed the arrival of Sioux City even more.

Sioux City is also interested in befriending the future president of Azerbaijan. The meeting between the two was extremely pleasant.

After more than ten minutes of greetings, Alham looked at the bonds one by one, and then nodded: "It's all hard currency, US government bonds, German government bonds, British government bonds...... Oh, it's all bearer state bonds. That's no problem, I don't have to go abroad, I'll be able to exchange them for cash in Baku. ”

"Baku is Eliqibei's territory. Sioux asked curiously.

Alham smiled and said, "This is a bearer bond, and Baku has bankers and oil merchants who want to hide their money. ”

"Uh......" Su Cheng listened embarrassed. Anyway, he was one of the bankers and oil merchants.

Alham smiled again, and at the same time seriously put the big and stiff bonds back into the suitcase, gently as if he were a lover, turned his head and asked, "Don't you need to hide money? China's tax rate is not low, right?" ”

"No, I don't have to. Sioux City spread his hands. "Our bank passbook is not bearer. ”

"It's better to be socialist. Alham was full of nostalgic arias. In Soviet times, he was much more comfortable than the old Aliyev.

Sioux City smiled silently.

Alham quickly changed the subject, patted his suitcase and said, "I need about a week or two, these days, arrange some activities for you?"

Old Aliyev also nodded with a smile. "Nakhichevan seems to be barren, but in fact there are a lot of interesting things, you will know when you see them...... If you want, please stay here, the room will be more comfortable. ”

"Then you're welcome. "There is nothing to hide in Sioux City, he is wholeheartedly fighting for the cause of the Azerbaijani people.

Ilham shook hands with Sioux City again and dragged his suitcase out of the house himself.

Sioux City stayed in the place with peace of mind. Sleeping on goat hair carpets, eating goat meat, drinking goat's milk, caviar and wine are available at any time.

Nakhichevan is closer to Iran than to Baku. There is a constant supply of food from Tehran, and as long as you are willing to spend money, life is actually quite good.

Sioux City remotely commanded the domestic company, and was not in a hurry to go back. He can't actually go back. He was not put on the wanted list in China, and Dahua Industrial was shut down. It's already open to the net, and now when you go back, all kinds of censorship are indispensable, which will only make the situation worse.

It can be said that from the moment the decision to smuggle out, Sioux City's choice was tantamount to a ruin.

Aliyev and his son also experienced the feelings of Sioux City, and the elder Aliyev was even ready to open up a place for Sioux City to live for a long time.

A week later, Ilham returned to Nakhichevan with two suitcases full of dollars and more than $30 million in foreign bank bills.

Seeing Sioux City, Ilham was even more happy, and said: "The exchange went very smoothly, there are too many, I almost can't get it back." ”

"I thought you were going to use up some in Baku. Sioux City was also shocked as he looked at the two half-human-tall suitcases filled with green bills.

Nearly 10 million dollars piled together, and the feeling of a few thin bonds is very different.

In the international market, bearer bonds, although they are hard currency, are not recognized by every warlord. The most popular is still the green dollar.

Ilham smiled in a very righteous tone, "I always want to show you the money I got in exchange." Also, Father and I hope that you will join us in doing this. ”

"This matter?"

"Send money. "The Tao of Ilham Le Tautau.

Su Cheng looked left and right with a slight doubt.

Old Aliyev patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have more confidence in me than I have in myself." I'd love to trust your judgment, but it's too hard to run for president, too much luck, too much investment. If...... I mean, if I fail to become president of Azerbaijan, I don't want you to lose all your bargaining chips, and it would be good for your career to know some Azerbaijani officials. ”

"This ...... Thank you for your understanding. "Su Cheng said it sincerely. The elder Aliyev was a local snake, and he asked Sioux City and Ilham to send money together, which was tantamount to introducing Sioux City to the entire Azerbaijani elite. It's time for a smaller-minded oilman to laugh at the fact that if he invests enough, he might be able to exploit an oil field without Aliyev coming to power.

Of course, a super-large oil field like Azijiu must require overwhelming strength.

Old Aliyev slapped him twice more and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you won't be able to rest well." ”

"Huh?"

"We're going today. Ilham took over and said, "Since you have to send money everywhere, you have to be tight on the time, otherwise, some people will receive the money, and some people will not receive it, and it will not be good." ”

Su Cheng nodded half-understandingly.

"Bang bang bang".

Ilham slapped three times into the air.

A group of more than a dozen girls slipped in along the wall, and one by one they came to Ilham with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, automatically and consciously lined up, opened the suitcase, and began to sort out the dollar bills.

I saw them skillfully unwrap the waist or string that bundled the money, re-count it with a money counting machine, and add new waist strips, which were neatly placed in cardboard boxes of different sizes.

The cardboard box is the most ordinary corrugated cardboard box, with a rough appearance and a bit prickly. However, when such corrugated boxes are filled with dollars, they look much better.

Ilham waited for a while, then pulled Sioux City forward, selected two boxes, and said, "Let's send these two first, to the local garrison." ”
