“...... The signing ceremony of the Hengsha Petrochemical Plant, a joint venture between the three parties, was held today. With a total investment of US$2.41 billion (the final investment amount before the formal signing of the contract), the Hengsha Petrochemical Plant will become a ...... , the leaders who attended the signing ceremony today have ......"

In the midst of the singing and dancing on the Chinese news program, in distant Fusoya, an argument was taking place among several people on board the exploration ship: "Sancheng, Mr. Thomas thinks that a well should be tried here." ”

Le Sancheng shook his head, still insisting on his opinion: "Our exploration is too brief, and we should carry out the overall exploration of the entire continental shelf, so as to obtain complete geological data." Based on the geological data, this can obtain a more reliable well drilling site. And I think it's only the marginal part, not even the marginal part, and the success rate of drilling wells here is not very high, and even if the oil is produced, it is not very economical. ”

After listening to the translation, the leading Toms shrugged with a smile: "Le, forgive me for being blunt, if you carry out a comprehensive exploration of the sea area, it will take at least two years." And we know that if you rent your boat, it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a day to rent. And judging from the sea area that has been explored, don't you deny that this is the most likely place to produce oil? I can't always look for it slowly, and I can't see the well? I can't explain it to my employer?"

"But it costs more than $800,000 to drill a well. If you don't find the right place, you will throw away the money?"

"That's better than that chartered drill ship that has been idle, I'm the representative of the Shuijing Group, you should listen to my ......"

“......”

At the insistence of several foreign experts, the captain and Le Sancheng reluctantly chose to give in. They began to prepare for drilling, and the captain quietly asked Le Sancheng: "Sancheng, how sure do you think you are?"

In the petroleum system, Le Sancheng is a more "legendary" figure, he likes to use "how many percent" to judge the size of the grasp, if it is "one percent", it means that you can try; if it is "two percent", it means that the grasp is very large, if Le Sancheng Chrysostom opens "three percent", then it must be nine out of ten. After all, oil exploration is subtle and never full of words.

After getting familiar with the habit of Le Sancheng, over time, "Sancheng" became his nickname. Others are also accustomed to asking "how much" before drilling, which is some kind of weather vane.

And Le Sancheng shook his head at the captain and sighed, which made the captain's heart "chuckle". This made the captain a little nervous: "Sancheng, is there a small chance this time?"

Le Sancheng smiled bitterly and shook his head again: "Old Xu, why don't foreigners know how to sharpen knives and not chop wood?"

The captain smiled: "Don't care about those, it's all foreigners' money anyway, and we don't need to save it for them, he will beat us if he asks him, so much to him?"

"But that will affect the subsequent judgment, and affect our reputation?"

"Foreign experts don't care about their reputation, do we need to care? Don't think so much, go and keep an eye on those boys!"

"Hey——!"

......

On the high side of the ship, three foreign experts were leisurely drinking coffee. One of them smiled and asked Toms: "Toms, in fact, there is some truth in what Le said, and the grasp of this well is indeed not very big." ”

Thomas smiled slightly: "Hehe, we all know this. However, Le was really in a hurry to achieve quick success, and he was about to go crazy when he wanted to find an oil field, and the stubborn vanity of the Chinese blinded him. ”

"Oh, you still don't think there's oil in this area?"

"I didn't say that, and from the earlier information, there are indeed several characteristics of the oil field. But we should all know that illusions are everywhere, and we are often misled by those false alarms. Thomas took a sip of his coffee, "There have been three previous explorations here, and none of them have found those features? I don't think so, mainly because the experts have determined whether they are true or false." ”

At this time, the instrumentation was not so advanced, especially the lack of computer-aided processing of data. To use an analogy, it is like the difference between X-ray and CT, so when it comes to oil exploration, it is often based on the experience of geologists.

And those three foreign experts look at the Chinese oil people with the same eyes as the uncivilized people in Africa, more or less discriminatory, so they don't believe much in their hearts, but believe in the previous three groups of European and American experts.

"Thomas. One was a little strange, "Since you don't believe there is oil here, why let the Chinese drill a well?"

"Hehe, I see what you mean. I have a work ethic and definitely put myself in the shoes of an employer. Thomas explained with a smile, "It's really not very likely here, so let's dig a few wells in the most promising places and let the employer see for himself, there is no hope here, and he will honestly give up." If, as Le said, the entire sea area is fully explored, the exploration cost alone may be as high as hundreds of millions of dollars. In this way, even if we spend millions or tens of millions of wells to drill a few wells, the subsequent exploration fees can be all saved. Those of us who are looking for oil must not only learn to find oil fields for our employers, but also learn to save for our employers. ”

"Hehe, I see!" When the other two experts heard this, they all thought so......

......

And on the port of Heilan City, Busanjo pulled Jiang Wenyi and looked nervous: "Jiang, I heard that you are going to dig a well." Is there any hope that oil has been discovered?

Jiang Wenyi smiled: "Friend, I always thought that you didn't believe that there was an oil field here." ”

Busancho also felt that he was a little out of shape, and laughed at himself: "I really don't believe it, but I also want to dream of it? I have always seen those oil countries so rich, as long as oil is bubbling out of the ground, it is a steady stream of money, when will we have such a good life?"

"Huh. ”

Bousancho seems to have been immersed in a sweet dream: "After I find oil, I can become the hero of Fjoya, and when the time comes, I will find His Excellency the President to operate and find a way to become the mayor of Heilan City." Jiang, Sanji's bitch has already looked at us unpleasantly, and he has made trouble with me in the city government several times, do you really think he can have the final say in Heilan City? Isn't it just that a few of our families give him a little face?......

Busanjo chattered endlessly, while Jiang Wenyi listened with a smile on the sidelines. That Sanchi, the current mayor of Heilan, may have been a little jealous of Bousancho's recent activity......
