After the meeting, Sioux City looked at the weather outside and said, "Let's go see Jensen immediately." ”

"He's in Bei*jing. He Yuwei said in surprise.

"Just go to Beijing. Time waits for no one, if everything goes well, the time will be just enough, and if you delay it a little longer, I'm afraid it's too late. "Since it was determined that Mr. Wang, the general manager of Changning Infrastructure, is Su Xing's grandfather, Su Cheng's attitude towards COSCO Shipping has been much more positive.

He Yuwei felt his attitude and was greatly moved, and while booking a plane ticket, she thought: This Sioux City still has some promises.

The two took nothing with them, and went to Bei*jing empty-handed to meet Jensen. This time, He Yuwei put forward a proposal to re-establish the joint venture.

Jensen hesitated for a long time and said, "Although I can appreciate the need to invest in COSCO Shipping, I mean that Haliburton's business in China may benefit from this in 20 years." However, this kind of pivotal investment is not something for me to decide, you have to find a higher level. ”

"It's just tens of millions of dollars, and Mr. Jensen doesn't end it every year. He Yuwei smiled.

Jensen shook his head, looked at Su Cheng and said, "If you want us to invest in COSCO Shipping, it's relatively easy. The joint venture factory chooses FPSO technology, and such a requirement is a big problem for us. ”

Su Cheng grabbed He Yuwei and whispered in his ear: "If Haliburton invests in COSCO Shipping, will it have any effect?"

He Yuwei tilted her head, the tips of her hair touched Su Cheng's itch, the corners of her lips moved slightly, and said, "That will affect the issue of merger equity distribution." Approvals can't be passed. ”

"Can it only be a joint venture plant?"

"Yes. "Investing in COSCO Shipping is to buy the shares of COSCO Shipping, and at the moment of the upcoming merger, listed companies need to issue detailed announcements.

After Su Cheng learned about their bottom line, he sat up straight and said again, "Jensen." Haliburton has tens of thousands of patented technologies, maybe more? I have the impression that Halliburton Energy Services, Landmark Drawing, Wellbore Company. Joint ventures include Enventure, Bredero-Shaics, Halliburton Subseas, as well as a large number of LNG plants, refineries and processing plants, production facilities, onshore and subsea pipelines, and government-invested utilities and commercial facilities...... In the field of oil. You've got a lot of everything, and you're focused on FPSO, which isn't your strong point, is it?"

Jensen also sat down and said: "FPSO is not COSCO Shipping's strong point. As I said, unless it's an advantageous project, if I make a proposal, I will be criticized. ”

"But COSCO Shipping is likely to be China's dominant company. Su Cheng said instead of He Yuwei.

Jensen just shook his head and said, "This is the policy, I am not responsible for the policy, you have to talk to the higher levels about this issue." ”

He bit it to death and was unwilling to take responsibility, and Su Cheng and He Yuwei had no choice but to leave Jensen's office.

Things are back to square one. Neither of them was in the mood to speak, so they walked along the road and walked slowly.

In spring and summer, the trees are slightly green, and the newly sprouted leaves are still tender. Wandering under the light wind, disturbing people's hearts and minds.

For He Yuwei, his father is just a member of the He family, and resources such as foreign exchange loans are already the greatest help they can get. They also need to continue to prove themselves and rely on themselves to rise. But. Without Haliburton's investment, the task would have been extremely difficult, or rather, Haliburton would have been part of the difficulty of reaching the halfway point.

For Sioux City, he hoped that Haliburton would invest in COSCO Shipping, on the one hand, because of He Chengjun's promise, and on the other hand, because of the He family. At his current position, the absence of people in the DPRK and China is already a problem that needs to be solved urgently. Through He Yuwei and He Chengjun's father and daughter, he can make up for this biggest shortcoming.

All of this needs to be persuaded to Haliburton.

Su Cheng thought to himself: If it were 20 years later, it wouldn't be so troublesome. Any influential company in China's industry can build a joint venture plant with tens of millions of dollars and merge with a potential technology company.

"What now, do you want to find Haliburton's higher-ups?" He Yuwei suddenly spoke. She was a little weak-hearted.

Conducting political activities in the country is a job that she is very familiar with. However, going abroad to engage in political lobbying was something she had no experience with.

She didn't wait for Sioux City's answer, and then asked, "How did you do it in the UAE?"

"It's also about doing one step at a time. Well, you should first go to the United States and visit the upper echelons of Haliburton and feel what they think. I'll go back, take care of the factory, and then join you in the United States. You have to be mentally prepared that it will be very difficult to convince Haliburton's higher-ups. Sioux City spoke in a dull tone. Jensen's attitude must have been a continuation of the attitude of Haliburton's head office, and in this case, it would be difficult for a little-known Chinese company to get a joint venture from Haliburton.

There are quite a few joint ventures in Haliburton around the world, but they are mainly for the purpose of profit-grabbing, often taking stakes in oil-rich oilfield companies or technology companies that have already shown their strength. For a company like COSCO Shipping, it can be said that it is difficult to even have the opportunity to be acquired.

Jensen only politely refused for the sake of Sioux City's face. He Yuwei also expected the difficulty at this time, and asked whimfully: "Are your visas and passports suitable?" ”

At the end of the 80s, passports were a rarity, and you couldn't get them with money.

He Yuwei smiled reluctantly and said, "That's all I can do now." ”

"Mine still works. Su Cheng paused for a moment and said, "You'd better prepare some unregulated funds that are easy to access at any time in the United States." ”

He Yuwei's eyes widened and said, "Don't come nonsense, the United States has an anti-foreign bribery bill." ”

Sioux City took a look and said, "Americans didn't grow up drinking rootless water, and there is an anti-foreign bribery bill." It only shows that their overseas bribery is rampant. It is not necessary to use the funds ready, in any case, the expenses abroad will not be less, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

He Yuwei nodded lightly, with all kinds of worries in her heart. She is an official of a state-owned enterprise, and it is extremely easy to sign a few invoices. Sending dollars abroad is not simple.

Sioux City's money actually flows more freely, but he doesn't want to do it all. If the He family doesn't contribute, they won't experience the hardships. Nor will I understand how much help Dahua Industrial has.

The next day.

Sioux City returns to the Victory Oilfield and goes to the school to meet Shulan first.

Xiao Nizi is about to graduate, and every day in addition to internships is self-study. Seeing that Su Cheng was overjoyed, he rushed over and hugged Su Cheng's neck, pushed him away again, and said, "It stinks to death." I haven't seen you in days. ”

"I went to Bei*Beijing, a day of round-trip, a day of living, and the skeleton was going to run away. "Su Cheng's temperament is becoming more and more calm, that is, in front of Shu Lan, he is free and easy.

Shu Lan rubbed his brows with soft and glutinous hands. Cai said: "It's very difficult to do." ”

"How do you know?"

"The harder things are, the faster I think you can run. Unlike others, you don't seem to want to work lightly. Shu Lan pouted slightly, a little distressed.

"Human energy is limited, since I have the ability. You should do the hard thing, and you won't be in vain......"

"Old-fashioned, you look like Professor Liang. When Shu Lan saw Su Cheng, her eyebrows rose with her mood.

Su Cheng smiled slightly, and said in a low voice, "Can you skip class?"

Shu Lan looked at Sioux City vigilantly like a deer. "It's okay to go to dinner, but not to remote places." ”

"Look at what you say, as if I went to a remote place, it would be bad. Su Cheng pretended to sigh and said with a smile: "Accompany me to the oil well to have a look, have you seen Huang Ping recently?"

"He also brought some snacks two days ago. Shu Lan said with a bright smile and said, "Huang Ping is powerful now, he is Master Huang in the oil field." ”

"Master Huang?" Su Cheng was puzzled, and when he arrived at the oil well area in Binnan, he understood what Master Huang meant.

I saw a large group of people surrounding the empty field, on the edge of the lonely oil wells. Among them are workers in yellow and blue overalls, as well as small businessmen in suits and leather shoes.

Huang Ping stood in the highest place in the middle, talking and demonstrating, looking quite interesting.

Su Cheng parked the car and pulled Shulan to watch as he walked.

They are located in the most intensive area of tertiary oil recovery. Most of the three oil wells that have basically stable production rates and have already entered the stage of stable production are the first batch of oil wells, that is, the oil wells that belong to Sioux City.

The second batch of oil wells are the oil wells of Shengli Oilfield, which are mainly experimental wells of Dahua Laboratory and Shengli Oilfield Third Oil Production Institute, with relatively excellent management and high management intensity.

The third batch of oil wells is the oil wells of the small bosses of the oil field. Depending on the management situation, the suitability of the tertiary polymer flooding purchased is different, and the yield is also very different. In order to extract as much oil as possible and make as much money as possible, small bosses try their best to find technology to learn technology.

Huang Ping, as the first oilfield owner to contact the third oil production, was naturally touted after solving a few small problems of everyone, and was respectfully called "Master Huang" by everyone.

In order to maintain a rare good title, Huang Ping not only began to study on his own, but also tried to consult experts from the Third Oil Production Institute and Dahua Laboratory whenever he encountered a problem that he did not understand. Compared with others, Comrade Su Cheng's apprentice Huang Ping is of course very open in the Dahua Laboratory, and he wants to ask whomever to ask. After going back and forth, the oil bosses got acquainted with Huang Ping, and almost used him as a jack of all trades, and Huang Ping also formed his own knowledge system through continuous communication.

Su Cheng listened to it for a while, but felt that there was something to say, not just a pure blow.

It's not easy for a chubby guy who likes to work hard.

After a while, Huang Ping finished talking about the key points of injecting polymer flooding into the reservoir.

Several people stretched out their hands and shouted, "Master Huang, Master Huang, I have a problem." ”

Some people also asked directly: "Master Huang, how to adjust the pH of polymer flooding with a machine......? Master Huang, life and death are at stake, it's time for my oil well to drive again. ”

Shu Lan jumped to her feet playfully, and also beckoned and shouted: "Master Huang......"

Her crisp female voice immediately became the focus.

Huang Ping looked down, first saw Shu Lan, and then looked at Su Cheng in an instant, and suddenly his face was full of joy, shouting "Master"!

The bosses turned their heads in unison, and those who had seen Su Cheng immediately muttered: "This is Director Su!"

"Director Su of the Middle East oil field?"

"Definitely. After the large shallow sea oil field with reserves of at least 100 million tons is opened, the output will not be much less than that of the Shengli oil field! Good guy, I don't know how much money it will make!"

"As long as one oil well is drilled, it will produce more than all of us. ”

In the whispers, Su Cheng arched his hand to everyone, and those who had met nodded and smiled.

Huang Ping and Yourongyan, while pushing hard, shouted: "This is my master, get out of the way, my master, don't rob!"
