Ren He Yuwei wanted to break his head, and he didn't understand why Su Cheng was focused on delaying for two months.

However, she now admires Su Cheng incomparably, listens to what is what, and without saying a word, she will investigate.

Sioux City thought about it for a while, then left the venue and went straight to the Haliburton branch.

He actually has some interest in offshore floating production storage units. Therefore, it is handed over to COSCO Shipping, on the one hand, it is not energy, and on the other hand, COSCO Shipping's qualifications are more suitable.

The so-called "offshore floating production and storage unit" may sound complicated, but it is actually simple. In terms of the technical condition of the late 80s, early 90s, 90% of FPSOs were converted from old tankers.

Oil tankers themselves have the ability to store oil, and floating at sea is naturally an essential element. The only thing that foreign engineers need to improve in Chapter 190 is to make it have a certain production capacity. Either it is a preliminary treatment, or it is simply produced and then shipped to the consumer country, which can reduce the cost a lot. It also reduces the pressure on offshore drilling platforms.

This technology, once developed, becomes a competition for engineering technology. Because the technical barriers are very weak, it is indeed more difficult to install petrochemical equipment on a 100,000-ton or even 200,000-ton oil tanker than on the road, but there is no essential change.

In the impression of Sioux City. China's large offshore engineering companies, at most, will be involved in this field in three to five years, and by 2012, the FPSO will already be a Chinese company. Unless the renminbi returns to the era of 3.7, Chinese workers who spend 200,000 a year. It will definitely be able to beat the European and American workers who spend $150,000 a year out of their teeth.

Of course, the earlier this time goes, the more benefits you get. In 2012, the annual salary of offshore oil engineers was 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, and if it was advanced to 2005, the salary of senior workers would be about 100,000 yuan...... The difference in price, in addition to being handed over to the state as a profit of a central enterprise. The rest can also be used for technological transformation to further enhance the potential, and in Chapter 190, foreign engineers occasionally have some fertilizer flowing out. It is also a controllable expenditure, and it is still in the country after all.

Americans actually know that the main competitive point of FPSO is the level of engineering and labor costs. Haliburton is therefore only researching and has not yet entered the market, they are service providers, and even if the customer asks for an FPSO, they have the potential to outsource. For the same reason, Sioux City is also not very interested in engineering companies, and at the end of the day, this is a labor-intensive industry where labor and overhead costs will be the highest if it is to capture the global FPSO market. At least four or five hundred thousand workers.

There was no confidence in Sioux City for managing so many people, and neither did the Americans.

Therefore, when Jensen saw that Sioux City had indeed achieved the approval of the head office, in addition to congratulations. There are no comments either. Instead, the engineers sent by Haliburton, craned their necks, drank coffee, and paid no attention to Sioux City or Jensen, just talking to each other. Laughter erupts from time to time.

"I'm sorry, they just came from China, and they are engineers seconded from headquarters. For this merger, the headquarters specially poached several engineers. Five of them were brought from Europe," Jensen explained.

Of these 12 engineers, the youngest ones are probably only college graduates, the older ones are gray-haired, and there are none of the middle-aged people in their forties and fifties. There were also two guys among them, whiskey on one side and vodka on the other, drinking happily, and sleeping when they were drunk.

Engineers require a certain amount of physical strength, and if they are too young, they will be inexperienced, and if they are too old, they will not have enough energy. Judging from the concept of Sioux City in later generations, the 12 people in front of him can be called old, weak, sick and disabled.

However, some are better than nothing. The Chinese have no understanding of FSSO, and Sioux City also knows why it is, even if it is directional, it has a decisive impact on the rapid completion of the joint venture plant.

He didn't bother to teach foreigners a lesson, and said quite indifferently: "They just need to work hard." ”。

"That's for sure, everybody is a professional person. Jensen clapped his hands as he said and said with a smile: "Everyone, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Su of Dahua Industry." Our joint venture between Haliburton and COSCO Shipping was promoted by Mr. Sioux City. Next, Mr. Su Cheng is also responsible for your work arrangement. ”

Su Cheng nodded, stood up, and said, "The joint venture factory between COSCO Shipping and Haliburton is located in Tianjin, and we will go over now, and your job is to teach a group of workers of the same level." This is also the ...... required by our contract"

Seeing Su Cheng walking outside the door, a young man hurriedly asked, "Shall we go now?" ”

"It's too late to inspect when I get to the car. Su Cheng said a word, and got on the bus and waited.

After about 20 minutes, the foreigners came up sparsely, and finally the two of them carried a drunk guy and were about to move into the car, Su Cheng stopped and said: "Stay, you can't work if you are drunk like this." Mr. Jensen, could you please tell the headquarters to get another engineer here......"

Jensen tactfully persuaded: "If you send him back, the headquarters may not be able to send someone at any time." Forget it, warn it. ”

Su Cheng shook his head and said: "Being drunk during working hours is at least dereliction of duty, after dismissing him, hire a good engineer to come over." In your contract, if this is the case, there is no problem with dismissal. ”

Jensen looked at Sioux City in surprise. What he saw in China was all lifelong employment, which was more rigorous than in Japan. Su Cheng immediately thought of dismissing the employee, but he really didn't expect it.

Su Cheng winked at him and said with a smile: "When I was reading, people taught me that if I want to gain a foothold in a new company, I should dismiss the first employee who said dissenting opinions, and dismiss the second employee who was upset with him, and the thoughts in the company would be pure, is this the case in American companies?"

Jensen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled: "When I return to the company and become a big boss, I will try the method I use." ”

The two of them spoke in front of the engineers, without the slightest thought. The foreigner, who was originally high-spirited, suddenly died down.

In 1989, when the world economy began to decline, tenured workers often did not have a deep understanding, or the economic downturn or contraction was relatively beneficial to tenured workers. For the average foreign employee, the risk of losing their job increases dramatically. During Reagan's reign and Clinton's presidency, Americans liked to fire their bosses. When Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. were on stage, ordinary workers had to think twice.

For the 11 engineers on the bus, as long as they were doing their jobs, the relatively good contractual guarantees would naturally protect them and help them despise Sioux City and Jensen. However, if you get caught, such as drunkenness during working hours, whether you can keep your job depends on the attitude of Jensen and Sioux City.

When it was determined that Sioux City had the ability to fire them, everyone's view of Sioux City changed.

The bus started slowly, Su Cheng and Jensen continued to sit in the front and chat, and the engineers in the back also put away the flasks and cigars, silently silent.

The car is a classic Volvo B10M from the 80s, which is a bus model that can often be seen in Hong Kong movies. By the Chinese standards of this era, it's a comfortable mess. The car that Su Cheng and the others were riding was borrowed from COSCO Shipping.

Jensen and the others naturally didn't pay attention to the 1978 Volvo car, his attention was on Sioux City, and he said with some amusement: "I thought you would be angry......

Su Cheng joked, "What? ”

"The Chinese seem to take this kind of thing very seriously. Jensen lowered his voice and said with a smile: "I once had a colleague who was scolded in the hotel for mistaking Chinese for being Japanese, and if he asks this kind of question now, he must first ask, 'Are you Chinese?'......"

Su Cheng laughed, but after a while, he said, "It's time for us to learn from Japan." Actually, there are a lot of Japanese bosses in the United States these days. ”

"It's just a lot, it's just too many. What are they saying, to buy the whole of America. Jensen shook his head helplessly, and said: "It seems that they can really buy it, and the government doesn't do anything, some very precious works of art have now been moved back to Tokyo by the Japanese, and the yen has appreciated too much, how can it rise so much." ”

Had it not been for the early knowledge of history, Sioux City might have complained about the yen's appreciation. After all, the appreciation of a country's currency, while dealing a considerable blow to the export industry, increases their overseas purchasing power. This purchasing power can be used not only for the purchase of consumer goods, but also for the purchase of factories, mines, companies, oil fields, and works of art. In 1989, Japan bought at least $3 trillion in overseas assets before its export industry suffered losses, which was equivalent to monetizing all of its 40 years of struggle, and the benefits were self-evident for ordinary people and domestic companies.

Jensen smiled and said, "The current 11 engineers were originally going to be sent to Japan, but they were re-sent to China because the FPSO's joint venture company was determined to be in China. ”

"Oh, did you plan a joint venture with a Japanese company?"

"That's not true, but there is a big possibility of a joint venture with a Korean company. Jensen hesitated for a moment and said, "Japan's artificial rise is too strong, South Korea is not bad, and our branch in Korea is operating very well." ”

Su Cheng glanced at him and said with a smile: "One day, the Chinese branch will grow." ”

"I hope so. Jensen sighed, stood up and said, "I'll talk to them, even if you fire everyone, it's always troublesome to send another batch of new people." ”

"I'll keep at least one person. Su Cheng blinked narrowly and said with a smile: "Someone has to stay to spread the corporate culture." ”！！！
