"The construction of the China-Russia oil pipeline has come to an end. The main purpose of our trip to Russia this time is to discuss the price of oil. Everyone knows that the United States has a very tight blockade on my country's sea lanes and energy, so we must negotiate with the northern energy powers. Improve relations with Russia and win their support in oil and natural gas, etc.
Break the US blockade so as not to fall into an energy crisis. Russia's economy is also in a strong revitalization stage and urgently needs our Chinese currency foreign exchange. This is a relationship in which both parties benefit from cooperation and lose from division. However, the North
The polar bears are not good either. We must fully understand the difficulties of this energy negotiation..."
On the afternoon before setting off for Russia, Wang Quanan presided over the last meeting of the negotiating team before departure. The meeting had two themes, one was to unify ideological and political understanding, and the other was to estimate and analyze the problems and discussions that would be encountered during the negotiation process.
Countermeasures.
At noon the next day, a group of twenty people from the negotiation team boarded a plane to Moscow and officially began this difficult negotiation journey.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, the plane landed slowly at Moscow International Airport, and the negotiating team was picked up by officials from the embassy in Russia and the Russian Deputy Minister of Energy.
Knowing that only a deputy minister came to pick him up, Long Ziyou found that Minister Wang Quanan's face became a little ugly and solemn, but his face quickly returned to normal. Long Ziyou knew in his heart that according to the principle of treatment, the Russian side
A minister should be sent to pick up the plane, but now the other party has sent a deputy minister. This is obviously to give the Chinese side a slap in the face, and it also indicates that this negotiation will not be smooth sailing.
Although Long Ziyou is still a layman, after three days of preparation, he also realized that this negotiation will be very difficult. Although this energy cooperation is a matter of mutual benefit, the current relationship between countries is
The relationship between interests involves the interests of one's own country. Who doesn't want to fight for it more?
Sergeyev, the deputy minister of the Russian Ministry of Energy, was very enthusiastic and wanted to arrange a hotel for the Chinese side, but Wang Quanan declined. As a result, the negotiation team stayed in a hotel opened by a Chinese businessman under the arrangement of the embassy.
of high-end business hotels.
This guy has no good intentions! Long Ziyu, who could roughly understand what Sergey said, knew that if his party stayed in a hotel arranged by Russia, every word they said would fall into their ears.
Everyone seemed to sense Russia's intentions. On the way to the hotel, no one talked much, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn. But this did not seem to affect Wang Quanan. Along the way, he still had some problems with Ambassador Li Dong and Sergeyev.
He was joking and seemed to be in a good mood, and his mood also affected other people, making everyone feel less heavy.
A hero shows his true colors in times of crisis! Long Ziyou secretly gave Wang Quan'an a thumbs up. Wang Quan'an is the person in charge of the negotiations. If he loses confidence, it will be a fatal blow to the team. Therefore, in
Long Ziyou learned something more from him, that is, as a leader, you should never lose confidence at any time, let alone lose confidence in front of your subordinates!
Sergeev sent the Chinese negotiating team to the hotel to settle down before leaving. After checking into the hotel, the first thing Wang Quanan did was to ask the accompanying security experts to carefully check all the rooms to see if anything had been stolen.
Surveillance or eavesdropping equipment has been installed. Although the security experts of the embassy have already done this work, be careful and make sure you check it more than once.
While the security experts were busy, Long Ziyou was not idle. He sent out all the "scouts" he had with him. In addition to checking each room, he also checked the surrounding buildings to see if anyone was monitoring his party.
.
Long Ziyou only had about twenty 'scouts' with him, which was not enough to check the rooms of himself and others, so he sent a few more 'scouts' to the back door of the hotel where the food waste was thrown and found hundreds of them.
The 'scouts' searched the surrounding buildings and even other rooms. Not to mention, more than half an hour later, although no monitoring equipment was found in their room, they found it in a room in a building opposite the hotel.
Three suspicious characters!
The reason why Long Ziyou felt that these three people were suspicious was because the three of them were debugging radio receiving equipment, and these equipment were very advanced and were usually used by the security department. In addition, the curtains in this room were all closed, and all of them were
The kind that is opaque.
But why was no listening equipment found in the room? After discovering the Russian surveillance personnel, Long Ziyou couldn't help but feel confused. After thinking about it, he thought there were only two possibilities. One was that the Russian listening equipment was very advanced and small.
The Russian security experts failed to detect it; another possibility is that the eavesdropping equipment has not been installed yet. The Russian side knew that we would definitely check it before moving in, so it chose to install the eavesdropping equipment after moving in.
In Long Ziyou's opinion, the latter of the two possibilities was more likely. After he was convinced, he slightly curved his mouth and thought: This time he finally has a place to be useful!
After settling in, Wang Quanan immediately held a meeting, emphasizing the need to keep confidentiality and pay attention to personal safety. Try not to go out unless there is nothing to do, and even if you go out, do not go out alone. Especially lesbians, they are not allowed to go out without the company of gay men. There is indeed something wrong.
If you want to go out, you must obtain approval from him or Executive Deputy Minister Tang Riming.
After emphasizing confidentiality and personal safety issues, Wang Quanan made arrangements for the negotiation work that will start tomorrow, and also emphasized that no mistakes can be made.
Long Ziyou was responsible for collecting information on international crude oil prices in recent years, especially on Russian crude oil exports. He had already done the data collection at home, so after dinner, when everyone locked themselves in their rooms to prepare, he was thinking
I'm thinking, if the Russian side wants to obtain information or install eavesdropping equipment, it can only start with the hotel waiters or the staff of the negotiation team. Should I create some opportunities for them?
Thinking of this, Long Ziyou couldn't sit still anymore. In order to test whether the Russian security personnel could eavesdrop on the mobile phone calls of himself and others, he used his mobile phone to dial Mei Xin's mobile phone and left a message through him in the building opposite.
The 'scouts' in that room found that they started busy as soon as they dialed Mei Xin's mobile phone. This showed that ordinary mobile phone signals were already under their surveillance!
"Ziyou, what's the matter?" Mei Xin was about to take a shower and familiarize herself with tomorrow's negotiation materials, although she had already read them several times.
"Sister Xin, this is my first time in Russia. Will you, a Russian, accompany me to experience this exotic customs?" Long Ziyou teased in a joking tone.
"This is not good. During the meeting, the Ministry of Finance emphasized that going out is not allowed." Mei Xin was a little hesitant. In fact, she also wanted to go out for a walk.
"Halo, Sister Xin, why are you obedient? The royal family said you should try not to go out. I didn't say you were not allowed to go out." Long Ziyou corrected.
"Going out requires approval. If you can get approval, I can accompany you out at any time." Mei Xin's beautiful eyes on the other end of the phone showed a sly smile.
"No problem, just change your clothes and wait for my call." Long Ziyou agreed readily. Since he was the one who proposed to go out, he would naturally handle the matter of release and approval.
A few minutes later, Mei Xin received a call from Long Ziyou again, saying that the release approval had been settled and he was waiting for her in the hotel lobby.
"What did you say? How could the royal department approve it so easily?" Mei Xin asked curiously after seeing Long Ziyou in the lobby.
"It's very simple. I said I would go out for fishing, and Wang Bu agreed." Long Ziyou replied.
"Fishing? What fishing?" Mei Xin naturally didn't understand Long Ziyou's code word.
"Hey, this is a secret. Sister Xin, it's better you don't know." Long Ziyou didn't want Mei Xin to feel burdened if she knew too much.
"Tch, forget it if you don't tell me." Mei Xin looked unconcerned. In fact, she knew better. Since it was not convenient for Long Ziyou to tell him, it was better not to know.
The two walked slowly on the street, chatting and admiring the exotic scenery of Moscow at night. About twenty meters behind the two, there was a Russian couple also shopping, and another fifty meters away, a car
The black business car was walking slowly. Long Ziyou, who looked relaxed on the surface, knew that they were being followed shortly after they walked out of the hotel, and the people following them were divided into two groups.
Now that we came to Moscow, we naturally had to go to Red Square. Red Square is to Russia what *** Square is to China. Under Mei Xin’s strong recommendation, the two took a taxi to Red Square.
Iron-blooded, vicissitudes of life, heavy and majestic, this was Long Ziyou's first impression of the Red Square. At this time, he couldn't help but think of a famous saying: Moscow does not believe in tears! Yes, this is a place that only the strong can conquer.
A place that countless strong men yearn for.
Like ordinary tourists, the two took out their cameras to take photos. In order to take a photo with Long Ziyou, Mei Xin asked a Russian couple who happened to pass by to take photos of them.
Look what tricks you can do! Long Ziyou naturally knew that these lovers were the ones stalking them.
After taking two photos of the two from different angles, the Russian beauty returned the digital camera to Mei Xin, and then left with her boyfriend.
"Report No. 1, the eavesdropping device has been installed in the Chinese woman's digital camera." After leaving a distance of about twenty or thirty meters, the Russian beauty used a micro intercom device to speak to the person sitting in the black business car.
She reported that she didn't notice at all that there was a fly sitting on the back of her clothes. Maybe even if she found it, she would just chase it away and not care.
After hearing this information, Long Ziyou couldn't help but murmured in his heart: This woman's methods are so fast and covert. He kept staring at her and didn't even notice how she installed the bug into the digital camera!
