Spring Breeze 1991

Sherdar got in the car and left the Grand Turkmen Hotel, but he didn't notice a Lada sedan followed quietly.This kind of civilian car in the former Soviet Union has a very large number, and it can be seen everywhere in the city of Ashgabat.

The driver was Yakov, and there was one person in the co-pilot.

Behind them, there was a gray van following alternately.This kind of work couldn't be easier for people like Yakov.

Sherdar did not go home, but went around to another hotel two streets away from the Grand Turkman Hotel, and walked in through the side door of the hotel with a bodyguard.

Yakov took someone and quietly followed in.

Their faces are convenient for doing things. If it is Jiang Yong and others, Asian faces are very easy to expose.

Sherdal turned around and came to the VIP reception room. Yakov saw with his own eyes a middle-aged man with an Asian face warmly greeted Sherdar at the door.

He didn't approach rashly, but noticed that there were bodyguards at the door, both with Asian faces, he whispered a few words to his subordinates, and then his subordinates strode over, pretending to look for someone, but were stopped by the bodyguards, after a few words of negotiation, his subordinates quickly returned.

"It's Japanese." The subordinate reported in a low voice.

Yakov said, "You are here to stare."

After arranging follow-up follow-up, Yakov quickly returned to the Grand Turkmen Hotel to report to Yao Yuan.

"Japanese?" Yao Yuan frowned.

Yakov said, "I have arranged for someone to investigate, and there will be news soon."

Yao Yuan said, "They do things so covertly, I'm afraid they are well prepared, and it's hard to investigate."

"Boss, don't worry. The Turkmen Ministry of Internal Affairs has my old subordinates. I ask them to help with the investigation." Yakov said.

The Turkmen Ministry of Internal Affairs he mentioned refers to the KGB agency in the former Soviet Union. After Turkmenistan declared independence, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was officially established. In fact, a considerable number of people are still members of the original KGB.

The KGB is the largest intelligence agency in the world. At its peak, the KGB had an overwhelming advantage over the CIA. During the Cold War, the KGB single-handedly singled out the intelligence agencies of the entire Western countries. In other words, led by the CIA The combined intelligence agencies of Western countries are barely on par with the KGB.

It can be seen that this intelligence agency is powerful.

In terms of scale, the KGB system had more than 50 staff at its peak, and 30 of them were border troops.Moreover, there are nearly 200 million informants, 30 spies abroad, and an annual budget of more than 100 billion US dollars.

That was 80 billion US dollars during the Cold War in the 100s and [-]s!

At the same time, China's defense budget was only more than 100 billion US dollars, which shows how huge the scale is and how abundant the funds are.The leader of the KGB is a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union and one of the leaders of the five major countries, which shows its high political status.

Yakov spent more than half of his military career in the Eastern European branch of the KGB. He served as the head of the KGB in East Germany, and later served in the headquarters of the military region. He has the rank of colonel, many comrades in arms, and many old subordinates.

Since he said that he could quickly find out the background of those Japanese, there would be no falsehood.

Yao Yuan pondered and said, "Don't worry about anything else, just worry about people from Xindaihua."

Different from the time in Tyumen Oilfield, this time Xinrihua received the support of the Japanese government and did not hesitate to send the Minister of International Trade and Industry to visit Azerbaijan.Thanks to the close relationship between Yao Yuan and Aliyev, and the fact that they had made sufficient preparations in advance, otherwise the Bakker oil pipeline project might really fail.

In the Tyumen Oilfield, the Hyundai Petroleum-New Daily Chemical joint bidding entity was mainly based on Hyundai Petroleum, and the new daily chemical provided funds and was responsible for the downstream business, and the sense of existence was not very strong.

But if you underestimate Xindaihua because of this, it would be a big mistake.

Yao Yuan rarely said such depressing words.

"This is the information about Xindaihua that we found. It has a strong background." Lin Wei took out a copy of the information and handed it to Lin Xiaohu for them to circulate.

Yao Yuan said, "Behind Xindaihua are Mitsubishi Petroleum, Sumitomo Corporation and Daiichi Kogyo Bank. These three are the top five chaebols in Japan. The Mitsubishi Motors and Mitsubishi Petroleum we deal with are all companies belonging to Mitsubishi Corporation. Mitsubishi Corporation also has Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which is even more powerful, building warships and fighter jets.”

"Our scale is not small, but it is much weaker than these Japanese chaebols. The most important thing is that they have the support of the Japanese government behind them. To be honest, with the full support of the Japanese government, Xinrihua will bring us A lot of trouble."

Lin Xiaohu and the others fell into deep thought.

After reading the information, Su Jianmin handed it to Qin Zhenjun, and said in a deep voice, "After all, we own 30.00% of Azerbaijan State Oil Company and are the operator of the company. At the same time, we are basically responsible for Azerbaijan's infrastructure projects. President Aliyev There are some concerns."

"Turkmen is different. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, my country established diplomatic relations with Turkmen in January this year. According to the collected information, President Alipov intends to take the route of permanent neutrality."

Yao Yuan nodded slightly, "In other words, Alipov doesn't want to offend anyone, and he won't have any obvious inclinations. What's worse, the diplomatic relations between my country and Turkmenistan have just started, and the appreciation of the yen has brought about it in the hands of the Japanese. There's a lot of idle money, and they're investing it all over the world."

"Turkmen's natural gas is very rich, and the difficulty of exploitation is relatively small, but the cost of oil exploitation may be higher than that of Baku." Qin Zhenjun expressed his opinion from a technical point of view, "If we win the Shidan Oilfield, we will I can’t take care of the Turkmen side anymore.”

He was implicitly reminding Yao Yuan not to make the stall too large.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the two places, Tyumen Oilfield and Baku Oilfield, have exhausted all the technical strength of Dongfang Petroleum, mainly the exploration teams, and most of the exploration teams are rented from the major oilfields under the Petroleum Corporation. production, there are no more exploration teams to rent.

If you compete for the Shidan Oilfield, exploration will follow immediately, and the exploration team will become a scarce resource.

Yao Yuan was deep in thought.

According to his plan, there will be a time difference. After talking about the pipeline and the oil field, the construction of the pipeline will start, and the exploration of the oil field will start. Basically, it will be a year later. By that time, the large-scale exploration activities in the Tyumen Oilfield will basically After the end, the exploration team can transfer to the Shidan Oilfield or the Turkmen Oilfield, choose one of the two.

However, if Xinrihua intervenes, it will not be a matter of choosing one or the other, but both must be contested, because Xinrihua has already confirmed its participation in the bid for the Shidan Oilfield, which is clearly written in the UAE's notification.

To put it bluntly, it cannot be separated by human hands.

Yao Yuan thought for a while and said, "If we try to solve the problem of the exploration team, it is really impossible to introduce a joint venture. The most urgent thing to do is to find out the situation of Xinrihua in Turkmenistan. Whether it is pipelines or oil fields, we cannot let them get it."

No one noticed that what Yao Yuan said was "you can't get the new daily chemical", but didn't "make sure you get it", which shows that his bottom line is "even if you can't get it, you can't let the new daily chemical."

The reason is simple, Yao Yuan can't make Little Japan feel better.
