Chapter 563 Reserves Report
The intelligence organizations in Azerbaijan are not idle. After Aliyev came to power, the first batch of institutions to be purged were the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Not only did they take it into his own hands, but they also expanded it as soon as possible. ◎The Literature Museum is very natural. Aliyev was the leader of the KGB in Azerbaijan 30 years ago. He did not control the army. If even the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Special Police Force could not control it, that position would be too difficult.
Intelligence personnel from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, all over Baku, are busy investigating foreign companies every day. In this world, no oil company is abiding by the rules, especially in places like Central Asia. Rules-abiding oil companies cannot survive. The bottom-level officials can make these companies difficult to move. National-level food and card quotas are even more powerful. If Azerbaijan does not have the funding of Sucheng, he still has to pay for the bill. If this is not the case, the government will have to collapse.
Therefore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan mainly does, or can do all that is to control the work and prevent foreign companies from collecting intelligence from being too over-prone. This is almost their biggest pursuit. On the one hand, this is due to the national conditions of Azerbaijan, and on the other hand, it is also due to its strength. There are too many foreign oil companies that have appeared in Baku recently, and there are huge giant companies with huge power. They are not Azerbaijan's intelligence agencies that can check it as soon as they want, and they can check it whatever they want.
It should be said that although oil companies in various countries are asking Aliyev to obtain Azerbaijan's oil, this does not mean that they have no bottom line. It is just that the bottom line of oil companies has always been lower than normal levels.
However, sensitivity to power and money is the exclusive attribute of oil companies. A small country that has just been independent has no foundation to touch this nerve.
Although companies like Dahua Industrial developed rapidly and established an information bureau very early, Sucheng only dared to let them collect public information, which is the special situation in Azerbaijan that Sucheng had the idea of collecting secret commercial intelligence.
For members of the Dahua Information Bureau such as Dong Feng, this is a rare opportunity to experience. On the one hand, Sucheng's relationship in Azerbaijan has been rigged, from Prime Minister Aliyev to officials in the officialdom, and in this way, he is not afraid of being publicly tried for collecting commercial information. On the other hand, the geographical distance between China and Azerbaijan is not too far, both psychologically and realistically, which can help possible stop loss.
However, Dong Feng and his Information Bureau did not have many people to conduct secret intelligence operations. In fact, there was only one staff member on the front line, Liu Yi, who copied the information. He was the only one who knew the inflow and out of the information. In addition, even Dong Feng was not sure about the specific matters, nor did he know what specific documents were there. As for the person who collected the information, he was just doing ordinary money and power transactions. The person who passed the information did not know what he was passing. Of course, the three people who were responsible for translating the information also understood the content of the information, but they were far away from the front line and saw even copying and processing information. During their time in Baku, there was also a lack of opportunity to go out.
This simple and simple mechanism is actually the way to collect secret business information from most companies, which is boring. In addition to being more cautious, there is not much passion and happiness. Most companies cannot afford complex secret information collection. Because ordinary company employees may not necessarily have a big heart to undertake such affairs, and employees with a big heart may not necessarily have corresponding qualities.
Liu Yi from Dahua Information Bureau is one of the few people suitable for front-line intelligence work. In fact, even Dong Feng, director of the Information Bureau, is not necessarily suitable for front-line secret intelligence work.
Judging from Dahua's scale today, a front-line intelligence officer, several quasi-front-line intelligence officers, and about ten second-line auxiliary personnel are the largest scale they can afford.
Giant oil companies can make a larger scale. Before and after World War I, around the United States and after the Civil War, the intelligence personnel of those super companies played a role that national intelligence personnel could not play. However, with the emergence of increasingly strict social and moral standards, Giant oil has gradually faded out of the intelligence community, replaced by them influencing state institutions and collecting economic and commercial intelligence through national intelligence organizations. At this point, the Japanese consortium and Japanese intelligence organizations are the most well-known.
Despite all kinds of inconveniences and certain dangers, Sucheng still adopted the practice of commercial intelligence organizations, and the biggest reason was the value of the Azijiu oil field.
Fortunately, Liu Yi is a young man full of romantic feelings, quick, bold and diligent. Even if he is just staying alone in a confined room and constantly doing almost the same copying work, he is not tired of it.
More documents were sent to the safe house.
Liu Yi packed the bag while copying.
The huge German machine kept ringing all night, so that Liu Yi quickly regarded it as a harmless background sound.
This kind of physical work can only reach its peak after working for seven days.
However, before Liu Yi could complain, a special document was sent over.
"For this copy, you must cover some words." This is one of the few words that correspondents said.
"What are you covering up?"
"The page numbers on each page must be folded up. In addition, the same symbol will appear for each page, and it must be covered up."
"What's the meaning?"
"There is no time, just talk and do it." The correspondent opened the file in the room outside, and said while looking: "This file is issued in a limited quantity. I don't know what the content is, but each file has a number on the page number, which is accurate to the person who gets the file. In addition, the symbols on the page are seals before copying, which are usually stamped on auxiliary words or punctuation marks. Everyone has different numbers and the quantity is uncertain. Be careful not to miss it."
"It's so troublesome." Liu Yi said, and he was already excited. This was exactly the job he wanted.
The correspondent was a little anxious and said: "The document was sent out suddenly and was only allowed to be viewed for 3 hours. It took too long to go on the road, so I have to leave within 10 minutes."
Liu Yi's eyes were covered with brilliance: "A good trick, if you don't know, you will definitely reveal your bottom."
"Not that's the KGB's method." When he said this, the correspondent shuddered and stopped talking.
Liu Yi was full of energy and buried his head in the bitter seal.
Ten minutes later, the correspondent packed up his things and left. Not long after, another correspondent passed by downstairs and took the document away.
Although he didn't know what was inside, Liu Yi was still extremely excited.
He knew what important things he had done, and this feeling was exactly what he needed.
The next day, Liu Yi changed to a new safe house and bought a new photocopier. This deepened his understanding of importance and made him feel more and more comfortable.
At the same time, Su Cheng and others also saw this document as fast as possible
This is the Azerbaijani government's analysis of the reserves of several oil fields.
As early as the 1960s, the Soviet Union began to explore the Caspian Sea area. Due to the constraints of various conditions, Caspian Sea oil was not developed.
By the late 1980s, the recession of the Soviet Union was no longer able to continue large-scale oil exploration, and the split franchised republics were even more poor and lost to the ground.
The result is that the Azerbaijani government still has to use the former Soviet Union geological reports from more than ten years ago as a basis for exploration. Although it is a bit behind in time, it has to be said that the exploration of the former Soviet Union is still very valuable. Especially for the analysis of geological conditions, some topographic landforms that were considered impossible to produce oil in the 1970s. By the 1990s, based on new research results, it may become oil-producing terrain.
In addition, although most of the offshore oil, the former Soviet Union, had the ability to conduct preliminary surveys, could well analyze the situation of the 11 oil fields sold in Azerbaijan, which would be of great help to estimate the price.
In conjunction with the information obtained by Sucheng from other channels, Dahua Industrial's strategic business department has been able to give a bidding draft.
This speed is far ahead of the times compared to the companies that are still desperately bribing Minister Ahrainian.
Su Cheng carefully looked at the bidding draft, took out a pen, signed his name seriously, and said, "Let's start preparing now."
"Start now?" Zhang Chao was stunned when he heard this. He started competing for standard preparations now. He would undoubtedly alarm other companies, and perhaps Baku.
Su Cheng nodded clearly and said, "We are stupid birds flying first. We finally have some advantages. If we don't use it, we will not be able to catch up with others later."
Li Lin said tentatively: "Then should our public relations department go to discuss cooperation?"
Sucheng’s target is the Aqijiu Oilfield, but under the temptation of 11 oilfields, it is neither realistic nor eye-catching to take the initiative to give up the other 10. Therefore, it is a more appropriate way to choose one or two partners and bid for other oilfields together.
Sucheng thought for a while and said, "Besides the French Fina Company, find another one."
France's Fina also has a beautiful beauty representative, but it is obviously not as beautiful as Total's market analyst Emma. Looking back now, the two are like the gap between the supporting role and the protagonist.
However, it is impossible to determine the cooperation company based on the beauty of the beauty. In Sucheng's eyes, Total, which can take out a large amount of money and bid for the Azijiu oil field, is a dangerous existence. As the second French company, Fina, is a natural ally. Sucheng only mentioned the cooperation bidding once, and the two sides hit it off.
Li Lin looked down at the notes and asked, "What about another company that chose America? I talked to a representative of Petrobras, who are very interested in co-biding."
Brazil has made great achievements in offshore oil and is a BRICS country with stable development. However, they lack strength in Central Asia, and the alliance is also a necessary choice.
Su Cheng nodded and said, "If it is convenient to coordinate, it doesn't matter if there are a few more companies. But it should be noted that we have the right to act alone."
Li Lin understood and said, "Bid for each oil field separately."
"That's right."
Speaking of this, everyone here has become extremely enthusiastic.
Li Lin said with a smile: "I will contact various companies after I go back. By the way, France's Elf Petroleum Company has also sent someone to contact us, hoping to discuss some cooperation matters..."
"Refuse."
"Well, I'll call Mrs. Zhong Gu tonight."
"Madam Zhong Gu?" Su Cheng thought with déjà vu.
