Jiao Guoping and Counselor Liu failed to achieve their goal and had to return to the embassy to report upward.

Sioux City's refusal was unexpected, and the ministries and commissions far away in the capital had no good ideas for the time being, so they still ordered the embassy to solve the problem on its own and establish relations with the new government.

The telegram was patted, and Jiao Guoping and Counselor Liu looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Counselor Liu shook his head and said: "Let's offend Aliyev so badly, and still establish a relationship? If we can establish a relationship, why should we go to Su Cheng to pretend to be a grandson." ”

Jiao Guoping coughed twice and said: "We represent the country, it is always possible to meet, which step can be achieved, which step to do first." ”

"This is still the lack of attention to Azerbaijan. Counselor Liu held back his stomach and complained, complained slightly, and said: "Some people are just rats, I think, we can't take it easy, you look at it, or a few days of work, the order has to be changed, the requirements have to be raised, and then, let's continue to pretend to be a grandson." ”

Jiao Guoping remembered the Russians he saw when he went out, and agreed with Counselor Liu's opinion, but he didn't tell him about it, and only slightly revealed: "Times are different. In the past, Azerbaijan was at best located at a key point, but now it is a symbol of the five Central Asian countries and the Caspian oil circle, and regional and energy issues are complex enough, plus the relations of the CIS...... By the way, I heard that quite a few oil companies are coming to Baku?"

The counselor is well aware of the geography and humanities of Azerbaijan, but he said in an emotional tone: "First, Baku has been developed for decades, and it is still not old, and when Elichbey was in time, foreign oil companies had not had time to do their work. The Azerbaijani government also does not know how to develop it. Now that he has stepped down, the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are all here...... Don't say it, this guy in Sioux City is going to have good luck. ”

The first Baku was Baku, because the oil production here was too high, and the time of abundance was too long, so that it became a symbol of Soviet oil, and later, the Ural oil region was called the second Baku, and the Tyumen oil region was called the third Baku.

Baku's status in the USSR. It is equivalent to China's Yumen Oilfield plus Daqing Oilfield, plus half of the status of the Ministry of Finance. The oil produced here was one of the few products that could be exchanged for foreign exchange during the Soviet era. At the same time, more than 100 years of industrial oil exploitation history has trained and cultivated a large number of petroleum professionals, so to speak. Baku is the cradle of Soviet oil. Just as the Yumen oilfield is the cradle of China's petroleum. Before the 50s, the Soviet oil system was full of Baku, and until the collapse of the Soviet Union, the power of the Bakuists was not to be underestimated.

Unlike China, the Soviet oil system was so powerful that it was not a problem to replace half of the treasury, so the Soviet oil workers were the best-paid positions. The oil officials of the USSR were the most powerful corporate officials, by the seventies. Even the General Secretary of the Soviets had nothing good to do in the face of the intertwining of the oil system.

Now, although the Soviet Union has collapsed, Baku has been preserved intact, and the former Soviet Baku faction has left a root. Many of the former Soviet bigwigs that Sioux City has met in the Tyumen oil fields are inextricably linked to Baku.

Azerbaijan's domestic power is not superior to Baku's oil system, and it relies on military power to maintain a reluctant relationship.

Eliqibeyi's control over the country is weak, and his influence on the army is ordinary, so naturally he can't pinch the oil faction in Baku.

Although he wanted to develop the oil subsidy treasury, the oil faction in Baku did not cooperate, and the timeline for the restoration of the Baku oil fields could only be delayed again and again, but the local oil workers did not care, and they just got a little oil to sell, and they would not be without food and clothing.

However, the same presidential position is completely different if it goes under the ass of Aliyev or Husseinov.

Elichbey was born as a scholar with no footing, and although he organized a popular front and gained national prestige in Azerbaijan, he was at best a template for Sun Yat-sen, lacking powerful means. Aliyev was the former first secretary of the Azerbaijani Soviet, and he made his fortune as the Minister of Internal Affairs, in other words, Aliyev is the largest KGB in Azerbaijan, exactly the same as Putin's path, and the level is much higher.

Not to mention Husseinov, all the troops under his control have rushed to Baku, and if the oil system dares not to cooperate, he will not necessarily wash the mining area in blood.

Therefore, foreign oil companies with a little intelligence and analysis skills, although they are not sure who will succeed Azerbaijan to the presidency, believe that Azerbaijan's oil development is about to begin, and naturally start to move into the Caspian country. Smaller foreign oil companies are parasites, and they don't hesitate to go wherever their hosts go.

Oil companies don't care about wars and coups, they want expensive demolition costs over areas with stable regimes, and they prefer chaotic countries and environments.

Only a few days after the military coup in Azerbaijan, Baku already has a large number of foreign oil companies, some of which are negotiating projects in Kazakhstan, and they do not mind observing the situation closely.

But in terms of the right time, place and people, there is no Dahua Industry that can compare to Sioux City.

Even Aliyev did not come to power, and Husseinov, who received nearly $50 million in funding for two months, was embarrassed to say that he did not know Sioux City.

Jiao Guoping and Counselor Liu saw through this, but they felt that it was tricky.

Now that there is no big hat such as "diplomatic principles" to press, the power of Dahua Industrial has rebounded, and Sioux City is open to the sky abroad, and they really have nowhere to start.

Not only that, but the city of Sioux in Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan was opened up one after another, which once again strengthened his image as an expert on international issues, and added two ways to retreat. Even if Minister Zheng was at the helm, he would not dare to oppress Sioux City like this anymore.

Jiao Guoping and Counselor Liu discussed for a long time, but there was no effective way, so they only wanted to contact all parties as much as possible.

It's not that hard.

In the days leading up to the start of the CPPCC, various banquets and performances were held one after another, just for the various factions to chat and talk about their hearts.

Formal meeting occasions are not suitable for talking about conditions with a black face, that is the underworld. However, formal meetings need to negotiate conditions, and various private occasions have become very important, and the interim government of Azerbaijan has also paid attention to this point and tried to provide conditions to everyone in every possible way.

Naturally, what they want most is negotiations, and only by political means can the current interim Government have room to play its role. If the crisis is resolved by force, then they will have nothing to do, and Husseinov will directly establish a military government, which will be the end of regime change.

The Chinese embassy collected a lot of invitation letters, and according to the degree of importance, all of them sent people to participate, and this alone consumed the favor that Counselor Liu had accumulated over the years.

He can't take care of it, if he can't be an ambassador, Counselor Liu won't have much time to work in Azerbaijan, and it's useless to keep favors.

On the contrary, Sioux City received countless invitations, and almost all high-end banquets would take the initiative to invite Sioux City to participate.

Whether Aliyev can be president or not is one thing, but it is another thing that he has made a good fortune by spending money.

Seeing that the consultation meeting is about to begin, regardless of whether or not they owe Aliyev favors, everyone at least hopes to draw Aliyev to their side.

Many people who couldn't get Aliyev invited Sioux City, and most invited both.

In just a few days, to hold so many banquets, it was not enough for Aliyev and Aliyev Jr. to be cut into two pieces, and the three of them inevitably had to find some agents.

In fact, now Baku is full of proxies.

The Dahua Public Relations Department, which has just lifted the ban on going abroad, has re-sent a strong team to Azerbaijan and then the whole world to participate in the banquet in Daisoux City.

Sioux City was well aware of the oil company's dependence on public relations, so he spared no effort in building Dahua's public relations department. High-level graduates, business people who are well-versed in the world and society, professional technical management and retired administrative officials are all recruited by the Dahua Public Relations Department, and they carry out planned research for different public relations targets.

This approach and construction intensity even exceeds that of foreign companies. After all, the energy industry in the early 90s did not have the hardships and hardships of later generations, and today, developing countries are open and welcoming to energy and resources companies, such as Venezuela's Hugo Chávez, which is not in the mainstream. In addition to the construction of oil pipelines and other extremely large land projects that are often hindered by energy companies, oil exploration and other aspects are relatively smooth. As for projects such as oil refining and chemical industry, because they can always bring jobs and investment, and the site selection is relatively free, they will not rely too much on public relations. For foreign oil companies, what they need more is a team of lawyers.

Sioux City is well aware of where the oil company is headed. In another 10 years, due to the sharp rise in oil prices, countries will strictly control oil, let alone countries like Azerbaijan, and even chaotic African countries will need careful public relations to make a profit. In a country like Russia, even with Putin's renationalization, it is useless to encounter such a superb regime, and a powerful public relations team with good luck may be able to gain something.

The Public Relations Department is the earliest department established by Dahua Industrial, and its development is also the best. By 93 years, after five years of development, the Dahua Public Relations Department had more than 300 specialists, as well as nearly 200 internal support personnel, and Li Lin brought more than 80 people, like a visiting group, all over Baku.

At the same time, instead of stopping Aliyev's $50 million per month funding, Sioux City increased $50 million to Dahua.

Aliyev is a powerful background, but to take a huge oil field, this alone is not enough.

Other oil companies want to catch up, and they have to spend money.

The gushing rain of money, like the appetizer of the feast of wealth, is being tasted by the Azerbaijani elites.

All you saw at the banquet were smiling faces.

However, presumably, the benefits that the oil companies will receive, such a rain of money is just a drizzle.
