In just a few days, Azerbaijan's bid briefing spread throughout Central Asia and the oil industry. As a direct consequence, Baku's high-spending hotspots have become even more popular.

Bars with good wine, nightclubs with beautiful women and sturdy men, and well-guarded casinos...... These luxurious places located in the old Soviet-style buildings, like spring mountain flowers, bloom in a chaotic and orderly manner all over this Caspian mountain city. Baku Airport, which has not yet recovered from its senses, keeps adding flights, and the routes to London, Paris, Tokyo and New York are full one after another.

Many officials who have never left Azerbaijan in their lives suddenly become guests of luxury in the land of luxury, drinking wine, feasting on beautiful women and men, and spending lavishly in oxygen-filled halls...... By the way, the major oil companies have also taken countless information from their mouths.

The so-called snake has a snake path, and rats have a rat path, and although these half-old Azerbaijani officials cannot directly provide ready-made pieces and answers, they can at least provide fragmented information.

Little Aliyev could not have done a hundred-page piece by himself, he had assistants to help, and his assistants also needed assistants to collect and organize information.

Azerbaijan's bidding modalities mimic the oil field policies of recent years in South America and Eastern Europe, and while not eligible for bids from other companies, it is sufficient for ordinary oil companies to justify their bids.

Dahua is not exempt from vulgarity. Dahua Public Relations Department has provided a large number of air conditioners and central air conditioners to relevant Azerbaijani departments and individuals at low prices in a familiar way in China, in exchange for goodwill and information......

Today's Baku is a big construction site, and those officials are happy to eat in a chaotic environment. Since the 80s, Baku has not been treated well by Moscow, and he has never had such a star-studded treat.

Li Lin pulled Chen Baoqing from the compressor project team of Dahua Laboratory. Personally work for the Azerbaijanis.

I saw her wearing high heels and a short skirt, running up and down the wide and long staircase, and from time to time through the dimly lit corridors, arranging for the workers to do this and that.

Whether it is a domestic worker or a locally recruited worker, they are all happy to listen to Li Lin's greeting, no matter what, this mature woman with a hip is always more popular than the foreman of the five big and three thick.

Chen Baoqing hated the chaotic environment and splashing dust, and said anxiously: "The matter of installing air conditioners." Just leave it to the workers, if you call me, I won't. ”

"Such a large building, using renovated central air conditioning, is not Team Leader Chen. I'm not worried. Li Lin's tone is a little Hong Kong and Taiwan, and she uses the charming 90s to sell cuteness, which is one of her internal public relations tricks. If she were a foreigner, she would use her newly learned London accent. Although she is not good at reading and writing, Li Lin is very hard at language, especially in tone. It is also because of her example that the Dahua Public Relations Department has not experienced a major change. More than 60% of the employees have relied on their own efforts to keep up with the development of the group, and they have made a lot of contributions as a result.

As a professional and technical researcher, Chen Baoqing has 80% otaku attributes. Looking Li Lin up and down, he gave in again, and said, "What should I do? First of all, there are engineers for the wiring of the central air conditioner." I'm a scientist......"

"Yes, yes, yes. Li Lin covered her mouth and chuckled: "You are an expert in the compressor project team, I just want you to check it." ”

"What a waste of time. Chen Baoqing said secretly: If it weren't for the letter from the headquarters. The devil just came to this place where the night freezes and the shoulder is dry during the day.

Li Lin knew the personality of the laboratory experts, and smiled softly: "It's not that you're here, they can rest assured." There are several companies competing with us for air conditioning projects, if there is no god like you, how can we fight. ”

"What you can fight for is the low price. Cabbage price, don't be a fool. Chen Baoqing said this, shook his head and said: "Tell me, engage in commercial bribery, and engage in such competitiveness, those foreigners are also stupid, don't you just reduce the price, no, you must sell it at the price." ”

"Their business department doesn't work well together. For those group companies and consortia, it is only the oil fields of Azerbaijan, and it is not enough for them to fully cooperate. ”

"The scale of Dahua Industrial is not small. Chen Baoqing pursed his lips and said, "Recently, the application for project funding has been slower than before. ”

"If it's much slower, you can appeal to the board of directors. "The heads of many departments and the general managers of the branches of Dahua Industrial are directors, and although they do not have equity, they have higher management dividends and a stronger voice.

Chen Baoqing laughed twice and said, "It's just a few days late, and there is no need to appeal." By the way, I heard that the pipeline company is also inspecting the pipeline compressor of the book, I don't know if Mr. Li can help speak, after all, the company's compressor is safe to use. ”

"Su Dong has asked all departments to be independent, and whether to use the company's compressor depends on the final score. When Li Lin said this, the conversation changed sharply and said: "I'll help you ask, but the requirements for pipeline compressors are too high." ”

"I'm not afraid of high requirements, I'm afraid that some guys worship foreign people, you don't know those things in the procurement committee, they are picky one by one, and the smooth surface that is useless has to be investigated......"

"There are a lot of people in the lab who are on the purchasing committee. ”

"This ...... Some people also come and go. Chen Baoqing was very embarrassed, and the usual whining words in the laboratory seemed to change when he got outside.

Li Lin laughed secretly, turned around, and said with a smile: "It's all here, why don't you go to the banquet together in the evening?" I heard that there are a lot of delicious foods." ”

Chen Baoqing looked at her suspiciously, and said, "The banquet in the evening is the banquet of the Azerbaijan State Oil Group, right?

"It's suitable, how it's not suitable. Li Lin said with a smile on his face: "Isn't the extension of the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline going to be built in Baku? Your air-conditioning compressor project will also pass the acceptance of Azerbaijan in the future. ”

"That's right. Chen Baoqing was still full of suspicion, and said: "It's a little strange that you are enthusiastic, let's talk about it first, I am a person with a wife." ”

"What nonsense, I'm looking for you to protect us. Li Lin looked weak and said: "You also know, most of our public relations department are ladies, and recently, Azerbaijani officials are not easy to talk to, and they want to eat tofu at every turn, so they have no choice but to ask you for help." ”

Chen Baoqing frowned: "Why don't you find the company's security department?"

"If they don't do it well, they will do it. After doing it, they don't care, the results of our public relations department are not going to be ruined. It's okay, you just need to bring a few people to the banquet with us to fill up the number of people, so that they don't dare to mess around. Those who are officials are at the level of eating tofu, and they don't dare to really do anything. Speaking of the back, it became Li Lin comforting Chen Baoqing.

Having said that, Chen Baoqing was also helpless, so he could only go back to count the personnel, try to find a few big ones to change into suits, and participate in the banquet in the evening.

Li Lin focused on the deputy of Aliyev Jr., or more precisely, Sakhbal, the "auxiliary minister" of Aliyev Jr. His position is comparable to that of Sioux City, and he is also the vice president of the Azerbaijan State Oil Corporation, except that he is also responsible for the day-to-day affairs of the Azerbaijan State Oil Company. Since Aliyev Jr. did not design practice, Sakhbal was a veritable second-in-command, and in some respects, more powerful than Aliyev Jr.

Matters such as the bidding for oil fields were ultimately decided by Aliyev and his son, but the whole process was under the control of Sakhbar, and neither Aliyev nor Aliyev Jr. had the time, energy, and expertise to manage it all. Sioux City can influence Aliyev and his son, and the rest will be done by the Dahua Public Relations Department.

As a result of the reshuffle of Azerbaijan, the number of current officials is smaller, and Sakhbar's power has become unprecedented, so to speak, he is the first node for oil companies to break through.

In the entire banquet hall, the most eye-catching figure is the stout Saqbal.

Even when Sioux City arrived at the venue, he was not as well received as Sarkbar, and only a few high-ranking representatives, such as Ducat, casually greeted him and gathered together. Still, they all sent people to flatter the rude former Soviet accountant.

Sakhbal laughed heartily, he, like several subordinates of the Azerbaijani State Oil Corporation, was an upstart who had only gained power since Aliyev took office, and it was the happy time of power that maintained the same brutality as before.

After a while, two beautiful female representatives escaped from the circle with shocked faces.

Despite this, more female delegates rushed to Saqbal like moths to a flame.

Li Lin hesitated, but still pulled Chen Baoqing forward.

"I'm going to be taken advantage of. Chen Baoqing whispered.

Li Lin bit her lip and said unwillingly: "If you are taken advantage of, you won't lose a piece of meat, you protect me a little, it's best not to be taken advantage of." ”

Chen Baoqing was happy and said: "Look at the righteousness you said, you are actually unwilling." ”

"On this occasion, what they can't do is to take advantage of the convenience of delivering to the door. Li Lin waved his hand and said, "As long as I have a clear attitude, they will know what the situation is." ”

"Can a dog change it and eat?"

Li Lin giggled: "So, people are different, they are happy to eat, and they are happy to take money." ”

As they spoke, the two gathered together in Saqbal's circle. At this time, he and his subordinates were talking about the glorious past of the Baku era, and there were always a few girls who came to the door, gathered around the hairy Saqbar.

As she drank more and more, Saqbal got more and more into the groove, and soon she set her sights on a French girl.
