Americans are very tolerant of joint ventures, and basically, as long as the company is mainly American employees and pays taxes to the United States, it is considered a U.S. company. Ella Book House 26book(Dingtian Novel House.dtxsj.) In terms of states, the concept of a U.S. corporation is broader.

Moreover, due to the secrecy system in the United States, people with intentions can hide the names of the owners of the capital in layers, so that people cannot judge who the real owner of a company is. In this case, it is not practical to delve into the owners of an American company.

The list of US-Arab joint ventures provided by Diab is based on the broadness of the United States' view of joint ventures and the desire to make a fortune from Chinese orders. After all, an ice-breaking trip has to prepare hundreds of millions of dollars, and in 1989, when it entered the depreciation channel, this amount of money was quite a lot, enough to buy the oil equipment that China needs in a year or two, or hundreds of Boeing planes. Especially since these U.S.-Arab companies are also likely to own the crown prince's private shares......

Su Cheng asked directly: "Do these dozens of companies have the shares of the crown prince?"

"The crown prince owns some shares, and there are other companies that are owned by the crown prince's supporters. Diab used his fingernails to make a scratch on the piece of paper with the company's name written on it.

Amir, who was fishing, turned to the side curiously. He was raised as an heir, his English was about the same as his mother tongue, and his ideas of politics and economy were far superior to those of his peers, and he was a little surprised by Sioux City's performance.

Looking at Sioux City again, about 50 companies, one-half belong to the crown prince and one-half belong to supporters. He nodded slightly. "I would recommend it to the Chinese government. ”

Diab pressed his hand and said, "No, the crown prince hopes that you can use all your methods to promote large orders based on this list, just like bidding for oil fields." ”

"It can't be. Sioux gently shook Diab's hand away. "I'm just a businessman under the Chinese government......"

"I'm sure you have a way. Diab interrupted.

Sioux City smiled and said, "I believe that if I have facilitated a large order." There would be benefits, but I wonder if I fail to make it. What's the harm?"

"This ......," Diab said. He didn't consider the possibility of Sioux City refusing because, judging by the way he bid for the oil fields, it was just a Chinese oil merchant who was more like an international oil merchant.

However, Sioux City chose to refuse outright.

Diab said unwillingly: "If you can facilitate the order, the crown prince will be very happy, and we will try to assist you in the development of the Setan oil field." ”

Su Cheng chuckled and said, "There are no other large oil fields to be developed in the UAE now, do you want to give up the Setan oil field because of this?"

The development of a large oil field is also beneficial to the host country. Otherwise, why would the UAE sell its oil fields? Oil produced in Sioux City. All of them have to be transported to the port through the UAE oil pipelines, and then loaded onto ships to the place of sale, and most of the equipment, consumables and other materials required for mining must be purchased in the UAE. Besides. For every barrel of oil he produced, he paid several dollars in management fees. This was still the rule before the 90s.

Diab shook his head helplessly. He clapped his hands again, asked the glamorous girl to bring the drink, drank it all again, and then said in a deep voice: "How can Mr. Su Cheng be willing to contribute?"

"It's like bidding for an oil field? Sioux City drank his drink and said, "And." To tell you the truth, we at Dahua Industrial also produce petroleum equipment, especially offshore drilling platforms are the focus of our development, and my energy should be put here first. ”

Diab's eyes lit up and he said, "Offshore oil platforms?

"Three generations. "Dahua Industry has actually only completed the research and development of the third generation, but this kind of petroleum equipment exhibition is order-based, an order is thrown over, and the delivery time is often one or two years later, with the speed of Dahua Industry, it can catch up.

Diab looked down and remembered.

After a while, he said softly, "If we can facilitate a few orders related to Dahua Industrial, will Mr. Su Cheng be able to facilitate ...... Purchases on the list?"

The price of a second-generation offshore drilling platform is close to 10 million US dollars, and the third-generation offshore drilling platform will only be more.

If it is such a quid pro quo, from the country's point of view, China will definitely not lose money, because they are ready to import in large quantities, regardless of whether they export or not. Of course, it is even more powerful for Dahua Industrial, and the Persian Gulf countries are the best sales place for shallow offshore drilling platforms.

Su Cheng laughed and said, "If that's the case, I can directly negotiate with the relevant people in the Chinese government, and there is no need to make a private agreement at all." ”

The advantage of public negotiation terms over private agreements is that they are fairer and closer to equivalent exchange.

Diab was a little uneasy and asked: "The Chinese government can decide on the purchase, can it interfere with the price?"

He also wanted to make more profits.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "I don't really want to get involved so deeply, if you are interested, you can talk directly with government officials and various enterprises." ”

Price manipulation is a serious accusation in many countries, Diab shook hands understandingly, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Mr. Sioux Cheng for his help, we will also try our best to facilitate the order of the drilling rig." ”

Su Cheng smiled and nodded.

Diab clapped his hands again, and this time several beauties came in with drinks and snacks.

Seeing that they were done talking, Amir turned around and smiled, "Mr. Sioux City, do you know how to fish?"

"Oh, I've been practicing for a few days. "People who wander in the officialdom can easily learn to fish.

"Let's have fun together, catch a fish you like, stay and ask the chef to cook it, and throw it back if you don't like it. Amir had already left a few retractable fishing rods and helped Sioux City prepare small chairs, and he was skilful in his movements. Fishing is probably his main political activity.

Diab also found a fishing rod and sat on it to accompany him in fishing. However, he does not hang bait, and it is completely an Arab version of Jiang Taigong fishing.

The three of them talked without a match, and there were beautiful women bringing food and drinks below. It was a pleasant afternoon of relaxation.

In the fish tank, colorful tropical fish, swimming in a daze, will be hit if you are not careful. Amir is still a child, and if he can't catch a fish for a while, he will secretly hang up the fish food that he often feeds, and no matter how smart the fish is, he can't figure it out. Safe food in the morning, how can there be an extra hook in the afternoon......

Amir often catches big fish weighing 1 catty, and some even weigh 5 or 6 catties. The fish pond in the whole room is almost like an aquarium. It is connected to the outside and dug deep into the ground, and it is estimated that there are a lot of fish stocked.

This is the time to catch dinner. Diab invited Sioux City to a dinner of entrepreneurs in Abu Dhabi, and that's what the executives were looking for.

Of course, it's good for Sioux City as well. The Persian Gulf is the world's oil center and, in the future, the center of research and development of alternative energy. Countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates know that oil will be dug up one day, maybe in 50 years, maybe 100 years, maybe 200 years from now. Therefore, it is also a good option to research alternative energy sources with a lot of dollars. In the memory of Sioux City. Their research center is quite fruitful.

Sioux City spent more than two weeks in Abu Dhabi and signed a large number of agreements before returning home.

The Middle East knows almost nothing about China, so cooperation is discussed in a state of poverty and whiteness. There's actually a lot to talk about. It's like a Venezuelan businessman going to China and being introduced by a senior government official to a gathering of entrepreneurs, and the deals are endless.

Especially when the two sides have a basis for cooperation, it is impossible to talk about the activities of the oil exhibition alone. It is almost natural to casually increase the trade in agricultural products, timber, primary processing.

When Sioux City set foot on Chinese soil, there were more than 20 boxes of agreement documents that accompanied him to land, and the weight was measured in tons.

Coupled with the gifts given by others, the gifts purchased by Su Cheng, and the whole truckload of luggage, Qi Meng looked at it with a wry smile on his face, and said: "Su Dong, you have a good time, you bought a lot of special products, I am in a hurry to have a cerebral hemorrhage." ”

"You're so young, what a cerebral hemorrhage. Su Cheng smiled and handed him a small box and said, "Those who see it have a share, and there are indeed gifts." ”

Qi Meng put it away, sighed helplessly, and said: "It's good to be an entrepreneur, make a concept, and leave the rest of the things to us little minions, do you know, how many people are worried about your petroleum equipment exhibition? ”

"This should be said by us entrepreneurs. The officials make a concept, and the rest is left to us minions. ”

"Our body is the size of a quail, and we the heart of a dinosaur egg. Qi Meng pointed to his nose, greeted Su Cheng into the car of the Physical Reform Commission, and said: "Su Dong, this petroleum equipment exhibition has finally decided to be jointly supervised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, the Ministry of Energy and the Propaganda Department, do you know?"

"Oh, how do you say that?" The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Propaganda Department are both large ministries, and their status is unusual, and they jointly supervise the petroleum equipment exhibition, indicating that the order is from a higher level.

Qi Meng naturally wouldn't be idle to tell him about the big guy in Beijing, he only nodded his finger and said: "Su Dong, I found that you are a person, do things, take one step, look at two steps, and the last three steps are all yours." You are engaged in this petroleum equipment exhibition, and the drunkard does not mean to drink. The Jinshi General Factory is still there happily searching for its own technology, running around to apply for patents, and not hesitating to offend other factories. I think the technology you have collected is yours in the end. ”

"I didn't expect that. Su Cheng put up his hands and hurriedly brushed himself off.

Qi Meng laughed twice, expressed disbelief, and said, "It doesn't matter if you are purely for Jinshi General Factory." Formosa Plastics Group is also going to be exhibiting.

Su Cheng smiled and didn't speak. Formosa Plastics' investment in China is top secret. The boss of Formosa Plastics lives in the United States, and Wang Sheng and others go to the United States every time in the name of visiting the boss, and then from the United States to China, in a big circle, just to avoid being discovered by the Taiwanese media and politicians. In China, cadres who are not of sufficient rank cannot hear about this at all. What is known is also known on a small scale, and it is not allowed to discuss with each other.

Historically, Formosa Plastics' $7 billion investment was ultimately accidentally photographed by reporters when Formosa Plastics executives got off the plane, and it was concealed for two or three years. After the news was exposed, the first person who was frightened was the Chinese, at that time, the foreign exchange reserves of the whole of China did not have 7 billion US dollars, such a large number, many cadres from the movement era. I can't understand it. From the point of view of 1989, this is indeed a rich petrochemical group.

Qi Meng didn't really want to discuss, so he asked, and said, "Formosa Plastics is exhibiting, did you guess?"

"At the World Petroleum Equipment Exhibition, it is normal for Formosa Plastics to participate. ”

"You invited it. "Qi Meng knows that the country is now about Formosa Plastics. With a string on it, all kinds of resources and policies are tilted. If Formosa Plastics shows 10% interest in the Petroleum Equipment Exhibition, China will show 10% sincerity.

Sioux City was still smiling.

Qi Meng's angry blowing beard and glaring were useless. After a while, he said: "If you don't want to say it, forget it, and after a while, you yourself will report to the leaders of the ministries and commissions." There are also exhibitors to explain. If you look at how anxious I am, you can see what they're like. ”

When Su Cheng heard this, he hurriedly said: "Why, the leaders of various ministries and commissions and exhibitors are still waiting for me?"

"Beautiful you. Qi Meng finally felt a little more comfortable, lay on his back, and said with a smile: "Since you left, the level of petroleum equipment has risen step by step." Now that the four ministries and commissions are supervising, then the ministerial-level enterprises across the country should consider participating. And because it's in the UAE, everyone is not familiar with it. Therefore, we have been holding meetings recently to discuss how to run this international petroleum equipment exhibition well and make it unique. Yes, it's always open. Today you're back. Secretary-General Gan ordered me to bring you here. So, explain it to everyone yourself. ”

How terrible the meeting in China is, Sioux City has learned. If it's a consistent external matter, it is estimated that it will be easy to solve, but. After all, the Petroleum Equipment Exhibition is an exhibition for shopping, and competition with each other is inevitable......

Thinking of the four ministries and commissions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, the Ministry of Energy, and the Propaganda Department, plus the petroleum system, the foreign economic and trade system, the chemical system, the machinery committee system, and perhaps the enterprises of the electronic industry system, what Su Cheng has simulated in his head is a chaotic scene.

When I arrived at the main venue of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, there was indeed all kinds of trouble, as if the shrew shop had occupied the land of a prostitute.

In the conference hall of several hundred square meters, there were sixty or seventy people, half of whom were smoking, and half of them were rolling up their sleeves and shouting.

Especially when the door opens, you can clearly smell the aroma of bacon.

"Here, smoke a cigarette and fool your nose. Qi Meng was used to it, lit a cigarette at the door, took two puffs, and walked into the venue.

This is the most painful time Sioux City smokes,

Qi Meng went to the rostrum and whispered a few words to the secretary general.

Secretary-General Gan covered the microphone and asked, turned around, tapped the microphone, and said: "Everyone, be quiet, that, Chairman Su of Dahua Industrial has returned from Abu Dhabi, let's listen to what he has to say, on-site experience." ”

Su Cheng clearly saw that there were hundreds of eyes, staring at him.

"Su Dong come, come, come up and sit. Secretary General Gan understood the movements of the upper echelons, and was very polite to Sioux City, speaking on the microphone and beckoning gently.

Su Cheng went to the rostrum along the middle passage, and there were all the way with tigerish eyes, including Du Lijun's wolf-like gaze.

Du Lijun actually hated and feared. He couldn't figure out how an exhibition proposed by a private company could have such a scale, and there were no uncommon equipment exhibitions in China before. What is the Beijing International Equipment Exhibition, the Da*Lian International Equipment Exhibition, and the Dong*ying International Equipment Exhibition, whether it is international or not, only the parties concerned know. But this time, the country has not yet come out, and a vote of ministerial-level enterprises has come out first, and the Jinshi General Factory looks like a maid.

Sioux City stood on the rostrum in three or two steps.

Secretary-General Gan asked people to assign a microphone and said, "Chairman Su, the companies and ministries we are present have some questions. Otherwise, let's start with a little bit about Abu Dhabi. ”

Sioux City didn't know where to start, but fortunately, he was also trained for a long time, and quickly adjusted, in the form of introduction, talking about Abu Dhabi's oil industry.

This kind of public content is easy for everyone present to obtain, and Director Yun of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who is also on the rostrum, said dissatisfiedly: "Su Dong, we are now facing a practical problem, can you solve the practical problem for us." ”

He was not as polite as Secretary General Gan. There are also people below who shout regardless of their identity: "That is, what is the matter if the matter is left to us? We have no oil fields in Abu Dhabi." ”

Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, picked up the microphone and spun around. Smiled: "Then may I ask, what are the practical problems that can't be solved?"

"May I ask Chairman Su, how to solve the venue problem?" The first person to fire was an official from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation who was in charge of hosting the event. They have to be responsible for basic issues such as venues, which is very troublesome and costly, and there is an extra layer of procedures for remote control from home to abroad.

Sioux City was puzzled. Q: "Is there anything that the venue is difficult to solve?"

In his thinking 20 years later, the venue is almost something that can be done with money.

However, the Chinese in 1989. There are very few opportunities to go abroad, let alone hold exhibitions overseas, and there is a lack of information and resources. Domestic officials did not dare to do anything at all, for fear of getting into trouble.

Su Cheng's attitude angered the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and the somewhat scholar-like official pulled down his glasses and said, "Of course it's not easy to solve." We are the organizers, and we have a month to go. However, until now, we don't know how many exhibitors there are, and we don't know how much space we need, whether they want to be in kind or not, whether they are in the venue, or whether they are decorating ...... open space."

He snapped and snapped a string of words, without a microphone. The sound also spread throughout the conference hall, and resentment came to the face.

Sioux City didn't think about this kind of thing at all. He is young, although he has done grassroots work, but he has not done middle-level coordination work, and he can't make sense with empty white teeth.

But. His connections in Abu Dhabi are no longer what they used to be. After thinking about it again, the petroleum equipment order meeting is indeed something we want to do, so I took the initiative to come over and said: "In this way, I will solve the problem of the venue." ”

That's it. Sioux City put down the microphone as if the matter had been settled.

The officials who were accustomed to kicking the ball were stunned, Du Lijun, who was about to insult, was also stunned, and everyone on the rostrum was also stunned.

"This ...... How is Su Dong going to solve the problem?" The officials of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation quietly put on their glasses and returned to their polite appearance. This time, his tone was much more relaxed, and he said: "This is an exhibition supervised by four ministries and commissions, and there are some specifications and precautions, and it is not just a matter of finding a random venue." ”

"I'm going to find a company in Abu Dhabi, the specific specifications and precautions, how about they talk to you?"

"That's not going to work. The official of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation was anxious and said: "There are many procedures here, we have asked the company in Abu Dhabi, and within a month, we could not find a suitable venue, and there is a hotel near the venue." There are a lot of meetings in the UAE, so you have to book in advance. ”

Although Su Cheng didn't know how to do it, he thought about it: Since the crown prince of the UAE cares about this matter, it means that the venue is not a matter at all, and he is definitely not so nervous that he can't find it.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng said softly: "How about I find the venue and inform you again?"

"That's not a solution to the problem. The official of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation looked at the rostrum.

Director Yun of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs heard from the embassy that Sioux City has a wide range of friends in the UAE. Therefore, he pressed it with his hand and said, "Su Dong, the venue is a prerequisite. We have not set the number of exhibitors, but also because the venue can not be determined, this is a continuous cycle of problems, if you can provide a solution, our conference today, can be regarded as a successful conference. ”

He ended up telling a bad joke that no one laughed at all.

Su Cheng sat on the rostrum, spread his hands, and said, "You can't let me find a venue now." ”

"Since you said you would solve it, you have to give us a word. The officials of the Ministry of Foreign Trade below were already in a hurry, and their glasses were wiped off again.

Sioux City looked left and right, and no one helped to speak. Ding Zhipeng and Secretary-General Gan were already frightened, and the meeting lasted for more than ten days, and they barely talked about the exhibition itself, and they were also anxious.

The people below are also excited. I have been quarreling for more than ten days, from the share to the booth, from the position to the foreign exchange, from the number of dispatchers to the reimbursement method...... Even if it's a clay figure, it's been fried for so long, and it's become a sculpture.

Su Cheng saw that these people were eager to try, waiting for themselves to admit defeat and surrender, and then start scolding and throwing eggs.

After a moment of hesitation, Su Cheng got up and said, "Can you let me make a call?"

Without waiting for a response, he calmly walked to the right side where the phone was placed.

The head of the dozens of people who are dozens of years older also slowly moved to the right side with his footsteps.
