Chapter 571: Tender Preparation

Dahua Industrial rented an office building next to the Ministry of Petroleum of Azerbaijan and filled it with employees from the Dahua headquarters, the total number of which was as high as 1,000, so that the number of people at the Dahua headquarters in Pudong in Shanghai has plummeted, the canteen is empty enough to invite each insect to occupy a table for meals, the commuter bus driver has also taken the opportunity to take annual leave, and the overtime and travel expenses of the finance department have suddenly increased by an order of magnitude.

But this is no way to do it, writing the tender itself is a very heavy work, in addition to the price, but also to describe the stages of the project itself, everything is involved, not to mention mistakes, Chinese companies in South America bidding, there has been a word spelling error, resulting in the failure of the bid, have to spend a lot of time and energy to appeal the example.

Azerbaijan's Ministry of Petroleum has given a three-day deadline for bidding, which is reserved for companies to write bids. If a team of less than 100 people works 8 hours a day, 3 days is just enough time for them to write a bid, and leave a little time to correct and deliver.

However, oil development has never been measured by the norm, and at least not one of the employees of the oil companies participating in the bidding can expect an eight-hour workday.

A group of companies is often composed of several large oil groups, and the time spent by these group companies is measured in years, and hundreds of millions of dollars in funds are finally condensed into a small tender. This kind of dedication, how can it allow that in the last three days, there are still people who abide by the 8-hour work week. Even the French no longer think about going to bed early and getting up early.

In the world's toughest negotiations, no one has had a good time.

Negative emotions such as exhaustion, pain, entanglement, regret, doubt, anger, anxiety, nervousness, despair, etc., can erupt at any time. If someone yells in the office, except for the person concerned, only the secretary will care about whether he has to clean the office again.

As for the others. They are too busy to care about a person's anger, and if they do, all that awaits them is the anger of their own boss.

A bidding document, or one or two hundred pages, or five or six hundred pages, when it is time to write, will be divided into very fine pieces, and a special person will be responsible for it. Someone writes, someone scolds, someone yells...... Sometimes, in order to figure out a number, the gentleman sitting in the office has to make dozens of phone calls. And the teams running around outside have to run a few hundred kilometers more.

The closer we get to the deadline, the more frequent and intense the outbursts of negativity become, and the sight of two people yelling at the same time in an office is a spectacle at the beginning of the bidding. With the deadline approaching, it's no surprise to everyone. In the last two days, even the courier brother can use a smile on his face. Facing the noise of the bidding group.

However, the bidding team is also faintly filled with the best emotions of human beings...... Of course, it's not the icing on the cake like "love", but persistence.

No matter how exhausted. No matter how painful, no matter how tangled. No matter how much regret, no matter how doubtful, no matter how angry, no matter how anxious, no matter how nervous, no matter how desperate, the bidding team must persevere, everyone, can only choose to persevere, and must choose to persevere, even if the spirit breaks, even if the goal is slim, after the roar, wipe away the tears, and have to get up again to work......

Persistence is the bottom line of survival and continuation.

Even if there is a saber-toothed tiger chasing behind him, he must run and struggle desperately, with despair and hope, until the moment he escapes or is eaten.

Even if you don't have enough to eat, leave food for the strong youth and young children, with despair and hope, waiting for the end of winter or the moment when they freeze to death.

Even if you are defeated repeatedly, everyone betrays your relatives and leaves, and you have to fight desperately, with despair and hope, until the last drop of blood of yourself or your enemy lands.

The foundation of a race, a nation, and a civilization depends on persistence.

A race, a nation, a civilization, how long it lasts depends on how long it can last.

The glory of a race, a nation, and a civilization comes from persistence in suffering.

In modern society, the pressure of survival has been greatly reduced, and people who have time are shouting in a cute voice: What if the earth has no oil? What if the earth has no energy? What if the earth has no rubber condoms?

After most people finish shouting, they just continue to do something pleasant, pleasant, and enjoyable for the audience.

The operation of the world, the continuation of civilization, naturally there are other people, with exhaustion, pain, entanglement, regret, doubt, anger, anxiety, tension and despair.

The foundation of modern society is oil, and these sticky, dirty things are never easy to obtain.

Colonel Drake, who turned oil into a commodity that could be obtained from a steady stream of wells, took four years to drill the first barrel of oil in Texas, and before he and his partner had gone bankrupt three times, it was difficult to think about how much negativity would arise and how much perseverance it would take to restart the plan.

The Arabs, who took the initiative to carry the oil weapon, never cared about the economic recession caused by the oil crisis, nor did they want to find out how much oil there was, they only wanted their share, more and more.

The oil trusts of various countries have never cared whether there is enough oil, let alone the harm that the price of condoms caused by the rise in rubber prices may cause people. They just make money and make more and more money.

The world interpreted with love and justice is a beautiful world.

But that's not how the world works.

The essence of the world is perseverance.

Survival is the foundation of everything.

Without the insistence of the American oilmen, the British would probably still be fiddling with their steam engines; without the insistence of the Chinese ironmen, China's cars would still be carrying huge steam drums; and without the negotiations and compromises organized by modern enterprises, the world economy would have been as volatile as it was in the 20s of the 20th century, with frequent unemployment.

From the very beginning, Su Cheng did not have a talented IQ, let alone an amazing EQ, all he could do was to persist and persevere.

Dahua Industrial, established by him, naturally engraved the brand of Sioux City. Although the concept of persistence and persistence cannot be regarded as the corporate culture of Dahua Industry, it is engraved in the spirit of Dahua people. Only the great Chinese people who uphold this spirit can be promoted step by step and move towards more important positions. On the contrary, the employees of the headquarters with different philosophies are likely to be transferred to the branch after a period of investigation, and the employees of the branch, if they have different philosophies, can only go to affiliated companies.

Although this approach cannot make the company and the United States, it does greatly increase the company's competitiveness.

The bidding team in the office building has no intention of stopping, they want to ensure that the efforts of the company's colleagues are not in vain, so in addition to the signing fee and the share ratio, they must make sure that the other conditions are not much different from those of other companies, at least not significantly behind, just to achieve this requirement in three days, has made countless people worry about gray hair.

And the emergency PR team outside, with sheer confusion, began what would later be called an offensive PR act.

Three days, in a normal PR manner, is not even enough for them to meet the secretaries of senior foreign leaders. However, Azerbaijan's oil fields can also be called a recent major event, coupled with the foreshadowing in the past few years, the Japanese group, the French group and the American group have achieved good results, and the tens of millions of dollars of funds prepared by each group have been sent out through various channels.

Historically, pig-like teammates have always outnumbered god-like opponents, for the simple reason that there are always more pigs than gods. Politicians in other countries, like those in China, are always more interested in their own interests.

As a result, conservative remarks suddenly became popular in various countries, and the experts and professors who had received money also published all kinds of research reports and made all kinds of remarks as quickly as possible, trying to influence the oil companies.

For a huge group of companies, although their capital and human resources are huge, they can also have more voices, and they can only adopt a policy of compromise in order to maintain reunification.

Conservatism will become synonymous with large companies, not from any one day, but as an inevitable result.

On the second day of the start of the bidding, there are smaller groups of companies that begin to submit bids, most of them are prepared in advance, and the signing fee and the share ratio are often calculated, and they usually participate in the bidding with the feeling of being happy if they succeed and not being discouraged if they lose.

At the same time that these bids were sent in, there were secret documents containing the numbers.

In addition to the information on the No. 6 oil block, Sioux City shared other information with other companies in the Dahua group. Although Dahua accounts for less than 20% of many oil blocks, it does not need to be responsible for the next steps, and it is still very cost-effective if it can get an oil field.

On the last day, large groups of companies gradually submitted bids. However, most companies are prepared to wait until the last minute to submit their bids. This kind of caution can make ordinary commercial spies have no way to do it.

Even if Dahua Industrial Co., Ltd., with the help of the highest level, it must always be ready to complete the production of bids as quickly as possible.

The bidding in the 90s was already complicated, and the staff of the bidding team, although they removed all the irrelevant papers, still had dozens of pages left, and in the last few hours, all they could do was wait.

Sioux City is also waiting with a hundred times the spirit, and before the last second of the deadline, it is far from the moment of relaxation.
