The Caspian oil circle in the early 90s, like the Middle East oil circle in the early 70s, was on the prelude to a blowout development. There are many oil companies here, not only super oil development companies, but also part-time oil exploration companies and oil drilling companies, and as for marginal companies such as oil storage and transportation or oil finance, there are even more.

BP is a big Buddha in the world's oil circle, and Ducat, the technical director, is even more travelling around the world, compared with his colleagues who often travel to the Middle East, Ducat's people are more aggressive, have more power in their hands, and can often make important decisions on the spot.

When Timsi saw Ducat, he suddenly felt a bad feeling, and his brain spun rapidly.

Ducatt also saw Timsey, but swept it away as if he were looking at the scenery. Suddenly, Ducat, on a cane, came to Sioux City.

His legs are a little lame, but with a civilized stick, his walking is basically undulating, which makes him feel like an old gentleman familiar to the Chinese.

I saw Ducatt slowly stretch out his hand and smile in accented English: "Please allow me to introduce myself, contemptible Ducat, responsible for bp's technology purchase, patent licensing, and scientific research equipment procurement. ”

"We're done. Sioux nodded to Timsey, as if unaware of the rivalry.

Ducat's reaction was extremely fast, and he said, "In that case, please ask Chairman Su to get in the car and talk to me." I have bad legs and feet, so I can't walk and chat with you. ”

After getting into his car, it was naturally inconvenient for Timsi to follow.

So, in the goodbye of Sioux City. Tim watched Sioux get into Ducat's car, and suddenly felt a kind of frustration that the steak had been snatched away.

Rather than buying cheap carbon fiber in bulk, Timsey naturally wants to get the technology of this carbon fiber. At the current pace of oil companies, there are too many places to use carbon fiber. Although tens of dollars a kilogram of carbon fiber is still expensive, it is difficult to say how much this technology is worth when it comes to some basic patents. Just look at the booming electronics industry.

However, there will always be all kinds of uncertainties in the predictions, so before meeting Ducat. Timsi wanted to take his time and carefully review the patents and technical points, but he didn't expect to meet a vulture like Ducater when he went out, and he pulled Sioux City away.

Such a competitive competitor immediately raised Timsey's expectations. It also allowed him to raise the value of cheap carbon fiber up a notch.

Timsey himself is Haliburton's vice president, but he is not good at technical direction, on the contrary, bp's technical director is the technical authority in the industry, and Ducat, a cripple, has invested heavily in several technologies, all of which have been paid off a lot.

What makes Timsi most anxious is that Ducatt has a lot of money at his disposal. Ever since bp began to pursue their famous elephant strategy. BP often chooses not to buy the right one, but only the expensive one.

Such an act will naturally raise the market price.

Timsey didn't have time to go back, so he patted his head on the side of the street. "Let the group's technical department focus on analyzing the value of Dahua's carbon fiber, and I want to get a report as soon as possible." ”

The men hurried away. Ayiman and Timsi were left on the side of the road.

Ayiman was already interested in Timsi, and now the opportunity came. Ling Bo stepped on his feet and turned to Timsey. Smiled: "Mr. Timosi hasn't eaten yet......"

"I have to rush back to the office, there are too many things. Timsi rejected Ayiman a little stiffly, and he was indeed in a hurry to go back and explain the situation.

Ayiman let him go so easily, and said enthusiastically: "I'll send you, my car has a license plate from the Presidential Palace, and the road is unimpeded." ”

Almaty in 93 will not be stuck in traffic, she said that it is unimpeded, and even the traffic lights can be run casually, which is also a privileged act inherited by Kazakhstan from the Soviet Union, and many sectors, including the oil sector, have considerable privileges.

Timothy hesitated, nodded and said, "Then thank you." ”

Ayiman smiled and showed Sensen's good teeth, his butt was like a shark's tail, he picked up Timsi into the car, patted the front seat, and waited for the car to start, and said without words: "Is the carbon fiber that Mr. Timsi wants to buy something very important?"

"It depends on the quality and price of their carbon fiber. If the quality is gone, the price is really only one-tenth, or a quarter of the current price, it is already a promising product. Timsey explained it briefly.

Ayiman seemed to be a good student, and said curiously: "Then I heard you said earlier that you want to buy technology, can you develop better carbon fiber?"

"Haliburton is the largest system solver and naturally has the ability to develop better carbon fiber...... If it can meet the standard of T300 and one-tenth of the cost, it is not an exaggeration to say that it will change the carbon fiber market. With the compliment of the lady, Timsi stated his goal.

At present, most of the European and American markets are occupied by cheap Japanese carbon fiber. Some companies have given up on the carbon fiber market and completely withdrawn, and some companies have turned to make carbon fiber equipment and headed upstream, and Haliburton also has such plans.

However, new materials such as carbon fiber, the investment in equipment is high-risk, and the average profit can only be said to be meager, and Haliburton also continued to research in order not to be completely kicked out of the market. God knows when carbon fiber will become a petrochemical product with an annual output value of hundreds of billions, and now that it has run, the dividends in the future will be thought of.

If you can make a complete set of cheap fibers and return to the carbon fiber production market, it will be a great achievement. However, average quality and ultra-low prices are not so easy to achieve, and it is a company like Haliburton that would set its goals so high in the first place. In Dahua Industrial, Sioux City did not dare to have such unrealistic illusions.

For Chinese companies, it is impossible to make T300 regardless of cost, let alone low cost.

Ayiman looked at Timosi's thinking, he felt itching, and he looked extremely admiring, and said with a smile: "You will definitely be able to change the market." I know that people like you are born to change the world. ”

What he said suddenly made Timsey excited.

When it comes to his status, in addition to making endless money and fighting for endless power, what he is chasing is to change the world and leave a name in history.

In this way, Timsi also felt pleasing to the eye when he looked at Ayiman, and nodded: "I really have to take a good look at Dahua Industrial's carbon fiber technology, even if the quality of carbon fiber is not good, it is rare to get it cheaper." Japan has made great achievements in this area, but looking at the current level of textiles in China, it seems that it has more experience in reducing costs. ”

Whatever he says, Ayiman will probably nod and say yes, but Suzhou City is a new feud here, and he can't forget it. Ayiman couldn't help but say: "Dahua Industrial's technology is so good, can't you develop new technology yourself?"

Timosi didn't know the situation, shook his head and explained: "Such cheap fiber, if it is in line with the market, as long as the other party is willing to invest, in terms of quality and cost, it will definitely be improved, we will do it from scratch, if we can't keep up with their speed, it will definitely become a loss, it is better to cooperate." ”

"You must be doing better than theirs. "Ayiman still wants to cheer up.

Timsi shook his head vigorously and said, "You don't understand, it's not easy to do well and make it cheap." The cost of research and development alone is difficult, with an average of $150,000 per researcher to invest, and if you use less and too slowly, and if you use more, it will not be cheap fiber. ”

As he spoke, he involuntarily patted the front seat and ordered, "Drive faster, I'm going back to the company." ”

"So, Sioux City's company has made a powerful thing?" Ayiman finally understood why a company like Dahua Industrial would be protected and recognized by his father.

"At least one oil field is worth it," Timsey said unconsciously, looking out the window.

This description couldn't be clearer for Ayiman, even if she wasn't interested, but now she is full of interest, and she hurriedly asks: "Do you mean the value of an oil field, or is it a steady stream of income?"

"Yes, what about the future, not only depends on the carbon fiber market, but also depends on their respective levels, by the way, can you help me book the fastest flight? to China, a little more people. "Timsey said whatever came to mind. There are direct flights between China and Kazakhstan, but the capacity is not high, and the frequency has not reached the level of one flight per day, so it is difficult to buy tickets temporarily.

Of course, this is nothing to the privileged Ayiman, who asks cheerfully, "How many tickets do you want?"

"20 photos, bring more people, and evaluate faster. ”

This number surprised Ayiman for a moment, so many people traveled, for a European company, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as grand.

However, what made Ayiman even more unexpected was that her dignified president's daughter sent someone to buy tickets, and she also got a reply that "it was sold out", and she couldn't even increase the number of flights.

After careful inquiry, it turned out that there were a number of oil companies that were going to China, which instantly dried up the already small number of ticket sources.

Sioux City also suffered from the problem of tight ticket supply, but fortunately, the oil company chartered flights all year round, so that he would not fall behind most companies.

In fact, when he arrived in Shanghai, several companies operating in China had already arrived in advance.

When the plane from Sioux City landed at Hongqiao Airport, it was not only the pick-up team of Dahua Industrial, but also the pick-up team of the local government and foreign governments.

Under the slogan of "Foreign-funded enterprises are welcome to inspect the local investment environment", not only the local investment bureau, but also the personnel of the foreign investment bureau in the Shanghai office, staring at the channel one by one.

There are also more nimble staff, breaking through the barriers of various guards, sending small cards to everyone, and saying as if chanting: "50,000 US dollars for capital verification, free travel for a week! No investment, no car, free market!"
