Su Cheng on the stage didn't realize it, only turned his face slightly, avoided the dazzling flashing lights, and thought: Haliburton's connections are quite good, and he has invited so many reporters.

He thought there were equal numbers of reporters on the left and on the right.

This is certainly impossible!

For the reporters, although the old men sitting on the left side are in charge of hundreds of billions of dollars in funds and the fate of hundreds of thousands of workers, they are just a few old bureaucrats who have risen to power by selling oil resources.

Only the right side represents Dahua Industrial, although weak and young, but with a thriving vitality and vigorous ability, it is exactly the image of Chinese entrepreneurs that readers want to see.

Almost all the central and local media, rushed to the right and attacked Sioux City with flashing lights.

Most of the reporters left on the left are media people in the petroleum and petrochemical system, and they are helpless.

Due to the small number of flashes, several people on the left side of the stage can clearly see the contrast between the two sides. They were secretly helpless, and they were also a little surprised by the popularity of Sioux City. Bo Rong, as a secretary who is about to retire, can face the rise of this young man calmly, but Director Mu, who came forward on behalf of the Ministry of Petroleum, wrinkled his face as if he was constipated, and secretly thought: As soon as today passes, Su Cheng will be known in the oil system, in case he can't be suppressed, this kid will fight back, and he will be afraid of it, this is a troublesome matter.

The people watching the ceremony below were even more surprised.

Even an old company like Daqing can only be a purchaser of Haliburton. Dahua Industrial has actually become the supplier of Haliburton, doesn't that mean that none of China's petrochemical companies can catch up with Dahua Industry?

If you were in the industry, you probably wouldn't have come to such ridiculous conclusions. But in the eyes of gentlemen outside the oil system. It's as simple as that: Chinese oil companies buy from Haliburton, and Haliburton buys from Dahua Industrial. Chinese oil companies are Haliburton's downstream manufacturers, while Dahua Industrial is Haliburton's upstream manufacturers......

This kind of thinking can be said to be very one-sided. However, many people do not pursue comprehensive conclusions.

Journalists, in particular, are capable of sensationalism, and finally have such a base, where they don't know how to use it.

Some people have already made a draft: China's oil machinery industry has been reshuffled, not only with the entry of foreign giants, but also with the rise of local enterprises. Dahua Industrial, a little-known enterprise, suddenly stood among the oil giants......

This one thought about it and was happy. Said to himself: "This Dahua." It's really a bit remarkable, it's an international petroleum machinery factory?"

"It's not a petroleum machinery factory, it's a supplier of products and services. /very/[Director Huo craned his neck and said with pride on his face.

His whispered correction immediately aroused the reporter's greater interest, and he immediately asked: "That Dahua Industrial." What to supply Haliburton?"

"Oil extractor. ”

"Oil extractors for oil extraction?" the man asked, still desperately remembering, "which unit are you from?" ”

"I am Dahua Industrial. ”

"Hey, if you have eyes and don't know Tarzan, then you must accept my interview. ”

"No problem. Director Huo had already looked at the flash lights on the stage, and while posing as a cadre, he smirked: "When your issue of the newspaper comes out, I will definitely buy a few more copies and take them back ......and hang them up."

Director Huo's style is very classic, standing in the crowd. It not only has the appearance of a pioneer, but also has a sense of generosity in his gestures.

Comrade reporter said appreciatively: "Director Huo must often be in the newspaper, this posture is good." ”

Director Huo couldn't say that he had practiced at home, and while maintaining his style motionlessly, he let out a heavy "um" and asked, "Have you taken a photo?"

"Oh? no. "The reporter bowed his head and wrote something.

"Snapshots. ”

The reporter was stunned for two seconds. Only then did he suddenly realize that he said regretfully: "I'm a text reporter, I'm sorry, the photographer is in front." ”

On the stage, the host waited for a while before continuing: "Now, please invite friends from all walks of life to witness the signing of Haliburton with five partners in China...... Haliburton promised that in the next five years, it will provide more than 1,000 top-drive drilling units, more than 1,000 sets of directional drilling equipment, and more than 35,000 real-time drilling services to Daqing Oilfield...... Provide complete sets of offshore drilling equipment, 10,000-meter-level logging winch, 7,000-meter-level hydraulic logging truck, and more than 1,000 mud pumps to Shengli Oilfield...... Purchased no less than 2,000 sets of special pumping units from Dahua Industrial ......"

Perhaps for the sake of sound, Haliburton added the word "special" in front of the pumping unit, which suddenly raised the level of Dahua Industrial.

Su Cheng smiled and signed his name on the open contract.

The same goes for the red-haired foreigner next to him.

The applause from the audience was sparse, and the flashing lights started again. This time, the smiles of the leaders of the oil fields were much more reluctant, and they used the dollars they earned from selling oil to buy goods, while Dahua Industrial made dollars. However, several people are also full of curiosity about the "special pumping unit".

The signatories, all of whom were senior executives above the vice president of Haliburton, said a few words to Sioux City, exchanged contracts with each other and took pictures, and then went to the back, and their own staff in charge of China came to take over.

Jensen, an Englishman with a prominent chin, came to greet Sioux City in London-accented English, and said with a smile: "Sorry, I couldn't see you in advance, the plane was too rushed." ”

Sioux City shook hands with him, and there was another flash of light in the audience.

Jensen smiled even more. In the eyes of foreigners, strength and media attention are equal, and he couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect Dahua Industry to be so popular." You should be China's most powerful petroleum equipment company. ”

"There are still certain advantages in terms of technology. "The first time we met, Su Cheng didn't want to be presumptuous. He paused, but asked curiously in English: "What is the situation of this Chinese regional partner?" ”

"Sorry for not notifying before, that's the case, we originally identified 3 partners in China, which are Daqing, Shengli and Changqing...... However, due to the requirements of Baoji Petroleum Machinery Factory, we found two omissions, the first is that there is no petroleum equipment enterprise, and the second is that there is only a purchaser, no supplier, which is not very good-looking. Jensen explained in detail that foreign companies have all kinds of speculation about China, and they also pay attention to fairness when doing things, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. It was during this period that the Chinese public's goodwill towards foreign companies was built and maintained for a considerable period of time.

"It's a good thing to understand, partners. "Sioux City has heard of the word partner a lot in later generations, unlike the general public, who are at a loss to know about it.

Jensen immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Partners have many rights and obligations, but they should be beneficial to your company. We will, and also ask our partner companies, to guarantee each other priority payment, priority delivery of partner companies' equipment procurement, equipment leasing, personnel allocation and other projects and work. In addition, if you wish, you can borrow from one of our subsidiaries around the world......"

This is actually an unequal policy, because Halliburton is strong, and Chinese companies are weak, and the latter naturally gets a relatively preferential policy. This is also because the other four state-owned enterprises are so wealthy that they can bring Haliburton more than $100 million a year and help them open up new Chinese markets......

From Haliburton's point of view, guaranteeing the interests of the partners naturally guarantees their interests.

It turns out that in the 80s, all the foreign giants who did this, were rewarded beyond imagination.

Sioux City secretly wondered: This time it can be regarded as taking advantage, what does Haliburton have for China, it is estimated that he is looking for Shengli Oilfield, not Dahua Industrial. For example, the requirements of priority payment and priority procurement, Dahua originally did just that. People are giving dollars, so let's send things over first.

As they talked, the reporters gradually dispersed and went their separate ways.

Su Cheng politely rejected the two media outlets, and was a little more relaxed.

At this time, Secretary Liu of Daqing Oilfield, under the leadership of Bo Rong, came with a smile and asked: "Director Su, you Dahua Industry still has a secret weapon." I just asked Secretary Bo if he knows what a special oil extractor is, and Secretary Bo doesn't know ......"

Su Cheng smiled dumbly and said, "The special oil extractor is a double donkey-head oil extractor, which was added by others." ”

"Double donkey-headed oil extractor?" For the secretary of the Daqing Oilfield, such a term, even if it appears on his case, I am afraid it will not arouse much interest.

Su Cheng took the opportunity to explain and said, "Daqing Oilfield has allocated more than 10,000 double donkey-head oil extractors. In this regard, I assure that the quality of the oil extractors supplied to the country and abroad is the same. ”

"What about the price?" Secretary Liu joked: "You can't follow the price given to foreigners." ”

"We have 10% of the profit in China, and we receive US dollars abroad, and according to the exchange rate of RMB, the profit does not exceed 30% ......"

The people around burst into laughter. The renminbi exchange rate is about twice undervalued, plus a 30% profit...... While laughing, several oilfield cadres were also secretly babbling: the profits of oil equipment are too great, and they are simply more than the profits made by oil......

So someone asked about the sales, and Sioux City didn't shy away from telling the truth. Dahua Industrial started with technology, and will also rely on technology to eat in the future, under the complex of foreign equipment, Haliburton is their best advertisement.

By the end of the press conference, there were already more than 20 people who were going to take the business card of Sioux City, and he had also received a lot of invitations to visit, all of which were potential users.

After a while, Jensen solemnly handed Su Cheng an invitation letter and said, "It's Christmas in a few days, and the U.S. Embassy in China has a very grand dinner and ball, and I hope Mr. Su can come to attend." ”

"Definitely. Sioux City was surprised and accepted it. Expanded, it was a company invitation that allowed no more than six couples to enter the U.S. Embassy for a Christmas party.

"The pure American Christmas dinner in the 80s must have been liked by many people. Su Cheng had the mentality of hunting for curiosity, but he didn't expect that how many people in today's Bei*Beijing City were running for this one place.
