Sioux City's so-called "mobile land" has also been officially recognized, popular in major newspapers and magazines, and the entire Shengli oil field has been hyped. In the budding spring, many people talk about prices and commodities, and the most talked about is the offshore platform.

Day 3. The first oil from the simple platform was drilled, adding a handful of oil to the celebration on the shore, and Simon took another trip to the simple drilling platform on the same night.

The humming of the motor can be heard from afar, and although it is already six o'clock in the afternoon, the workers have no intention of resting, and they are all busy on the platform. Different from foreign fully automated drilling platforms, this equipment designed by Dahua Laboratory has a lot of manual parts, such as sluices, oil discharge, variable pressure, etc., all of which have to run up and down. For workers, they are busy almost all the time, and the number of people and workload on the platform exceed that of similar foreign products.

The translator grabbed the boat gang and sighed: "Such a good platform, if I work on it, I will buy a fishing rod and fish every day." Get a few more books to read. ”

"The rig is very hard, and when you go up, you'll know. Simon spoke, but his eyes didn't even look at the rig, but kept touring the sea.

The closer the boat came, the more focused Simon became, and by the end of the day, he had almost half of his body tilted out.

"What are you looking for?" the interpreter had to go over and grab him.

"Oil stains. ”

"Isn't that?" the translator said, pointing to the dark waters ahead. At the beginning of the oil production, there will always be some crude oil leaking out, and when it really enters the extraction state, there is no crude oil left. The so-called dripping oil does not go to the sea, but it is talking about the oil production stage.

Simon looked at the time, shook his head and said, "It's only 2 hours, that's too little." ”

"Too little?"

"The oil trail is regular. After saying this, Simon put on his diving goggles, seriously tied a cable from the boat gang around his waist, and said, "I'm going to go down and take a look, and I'll pull the rope three times, and I'll pull me up." ”

Without waiting for an answer, he pinched his nose and sat down into the sea. The cable slid into the sea with a "whoosh" and quickly disappeared without a trace.

The translator looked stupidly at the ropes of the boat gang and the cables that disappeared from the sea...... "The fisherman who drove the boat said quietly: "The cable is broken, and I haven't had time to replace it." ”

When Simon was fished out, he shivered and swung around like a dehaired penguin. The interpreter gave him a towel and a blanket.

The fisherman's uncle silently shook off the seawater, untied the cable from his waist, hung it on the boat, and pulled it like a rope for hanging.

Simon looked at the broken edge of the cable in a daze, and said, "Your anti-leakage system is world-class, can't you buy a better rope?"

The fisherman uncle couldn't understand what he said, so he laughed innocently twice and took off his shirt to reveal his red and dark upper body, and his muscles were full of strength.

Simon coughed twice and laughed again, "The rope is pretty good." ”

The translator looked helpless on the side, thinking: How can people understand what you say?

Amusing himself to the shore, Simon hurriedly jumped out of the boat and shouted to Jensen, who was already waiting there, "You are right, the oil stain is at most one-third of the normal level. ”

"I'll just say that this director of the Sioux City factory is the most powerful Chinese I have ever seen. It was obvious that he had a secret weapon in his eyes that day. He said that a drop of oil can't go to the sea, and when drilling wells, there must be skills. Jensen joked in English and said, "This is our Haliburton partner, Fenor can now understand our choice, Dahua Industrial is a very powerful company in China, we have purchased several of their patent rights, and they are selling very well." ”

"Well, if Haliburton can buy this leak-proof patent, we at Fenor Shipping are willing to buy royalties. Europe's environmental standards are getting higher and higher, and South America is not low. "Simon's Fenor Marine is not a very large company, but a typical German medium-sized company, which tends to have some key technologies, employ well-paid engineers and researchers, and focus on developing new technologies in a certain field. But for other technologies that are ancillary, they tend to buy royalties for the least amount of money and don't buy patents outright.

Haliburton, on the other hand, is a typical American-style behemoth, fond of setting standards, constantly expanding with capital operation, buying patents is commonplace, and buying companies is also commonplace. Simon persuaded Jensen to buy it, also for the convenience of use.

Jensen unexpectedly vetoed, saying: "Dahua Industrial is a bit like you, they are not large, they rarely sell patents, and only give the right to use them. ”

"It's a pity. Simon shook his head again and said: "It's a bit of a waste, such a good technology, used on such a simple platform, how big that thing is, and it can extract oil, it's amazing." Do you see the oil pipes they use? It's just a plain land oil pipe, and it can't be simpler to go directly to the land. ”

"They're going to build big rigs soon. "Jensen is in a good mood and quite defending. Dahua Industrial had to outsource various technologies and equipment to build drilling platforms, among which a large number of key equipment was purchased from Haliburton, which greatly increased their sales in mainland China.

Simon said reluctantly: "The big drilling platform, with their current foundation, won't it take two years? I really don't know what the nobles of Abu Dhabi are thinking......

Jensen smiled and said, "It's already started." ”

Simon was taken aback and said, "How is that possible? Don't they want to design?"

"I heard that it has been designed a long time ago, and the factory has entered production, do you want to see it?"

Simon nodded immediately. He himself graduated with a bachelor's degree in engineering, and he worked in engineering technology for almost 20 years before switching to management and sales, and now he has not left his technology behind.

The two agreed on a time and went back to the hotel to rest. The road met a bonfire party, but saw that the celebration was still continuing, and there was no entertainment in the new oil field, so it was easy to seize the opportunity, how could everyone let go of the opportunity. Moreover, the success of the first drilling of the experimental drilling platform is indeed a good thing to celebrate.

Simon suddenly felt a little envious, looked at the workers of the big industrial era, but said: "The era of rapid growth is indeed the happiest era." ”

"Haliburton estimates that in 5 years at most, the mainland of China will be our most important sales area in Asia, and you Fenor Shipbuilding should also take into account the future growth ......."

Simon asked vigilantly: "Does Haliburton want to get involved in the offshore oil industry in China?"

Jensen didn't gnaw on anything.

Jinan Power Engine Factory.

Jensen and Simon changed the sign and walked into the factory, Chen Zunian saw that they were foreigners, and assigned an office guide to prevent them from going to the wrong place.

The 4,000 acres of land have been re-leveled and planned. The wide depth is endless. The wide road has 8 lanes, and only a few bicycles pass by alone.

Thick and strong trees can be seen everywhere at the beginning of the factory, including deciduous trees that are pulling branches, and green and fruitful pines and cypresses.

Bypassing a small forest, what you can see is a microwave artificial lake, with turquoise lotus leaves floating in the lake, gently moving in the wind.

The edge of the lake is a wooden plank and a stone road, and there are small bridges and flowing water, bamboo forests and elegant pavilions, built like Suzhou gardens.

Independent workshops, like dots around the lake, are built around the lake.

From the factory model of the 21st century, Simon's eyes are straight. Jensen was also dumbfounded, looking at the lush woods in front of him and the rest chair below, and couldn't help but say, "It's like transplanting New York's Central Park." ”

The staff of the office smiled and took them around the lake to listen to a string of admiration, and then pointed to the red brick factory in front of them and said: "There is the fourth workshop, and Director Su is inside." ”

"In the workshop?" Jensen said unaccustomedly: "What is Su Dong doing in the workshop?"

"It's just doing what ordinary workers do, and you can see it when you go. "The staff helped them to inform them before leaving.

Jensen and Simon entered the factory in a daze, and sure enough, they saw Sioux City operating a cutting machine, splashing fire all over the ground.

The surrounding workers are busy with their duties.

Jensen and Simon are both professionals and can see the process at a glance.

Simon was surprised: "It's time to prefabricate the single piece, the inspection and testing procedures have been completed, the material processing has also been completed, are they doing it at the same time?"

"It's very likely that the machining design is synchronized. The 35-meter platform is completely straightforward to prototype, and they may have made the current small platform in order to obtain data and experience first. Jensen estimated while staring at Sioux City.

The work of the factory, even the work of pressing the buttons, is not really easy, in short, it is all work that requires the use of the body. In order to play an exemplary role, Su Cheng wore a full set of labor protection clothes and sweated like rain.

It's completely different from the Sioux City that Jensen is familiar with.

In Jensen's eyes, Sioux City is almost like a governor or a presidential candidate: he always has a warm smile on his face, and when his interests are not far away, he is extremely fierce when his interests are involved. But in the final analysis, Sioux City still looks like an office person, but now Sioux City is like a pure worker. With a resolute expression and a focused look in his eyes, Jensen thought to himself: If this is a show, Sioux City can really run for president.

"Who are you looking for? Li Lianxiang spoke Chinese English and looked at each other vigilantly. The current fourth workshop of Jinan Power Engine Factory is similar to the third workshop of Shengli Machinery Factory. It is all a large number of new machinery, the difference is that the level of machinery is better, and there are a small number of imported models.

In Li Lianxiang's eyes, this place is like heaven, or rather, half of heaven. In the past, Dahua Industrial had a state-owned enterprise component, and a small amount of foreign exchange earned had to be handed over, but now with the guise of Abu Dhabi's large oil field, Huā's own foreign exchange does not have the slightest psychological pressure. The machinery inside is not the top in the world, at least the top in China.

Li Lianxiang stood in front of them, looked at them with the eyes of a spy, and repeated: "Who are you looking for?"

Jensen cautiously pointed to Sioux City and introduced himself, "Let's meet, I'm Jensen from Haliburton." ”

"Foreigners are all the same. Li Lianxiang muttered, put his hands together, and shouted: "Su Dong, someone is looking for you." ”

It was still someone else who reminded Su Cheng to turn his head.

His face was covered with black ash, and he smiled and showed his white teeth.
