This is the second time that Su Dongyuan has "summoned" Su Cheng.

When Su Cheng graduated from school for the first time, Su Dongyuan was dissatisfied with Su Cheng's choice. This time it was naturally because of the Su torture. No matter which time it was, Su Dongyuan didn't come in person, but he was just the one who notified him, and he was replaced by a secretary and a son-in-law.

Su Cheng looked at Hou Haiqing with incomprehensible eyes and said, "I don't want to see Su Dongyuan." ”

"Anyway, it's your father. Hou Haiqing peeked at Su Cheng and saw that he was not angry, so he said in a consoling tone: "The friction between you and Su Xing, we don't care who is right and who is wrong, now look at it, you won." It doesn't hurt you to meet Secretary Su. ”

Su Cheng smiled and said, "But it's not good, is it?"

He wouldn't really be angry because of Su Dongyuan. After all, as a cross-traveled Sioux City, there is no need to inherit everything, such as this bad and eccentric father, or an equally bad and eccentric brother.

Hou Haiqing had no way of knowing Su Cheng's psychological activities, thinking that Su Cheng was still in some kind of anger, so he said: "No matter what, it's still a family." Secretary Su may be unhappy, but the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, let's meet. ”

Su Cheng put away his smile and said firmly: "I don't need to see him, everyone just go their own way." ”

"Alas, Su Xing was double-opened, maybe he will go to prison, he will definitely not be able to enter politics, and whether he can do business in the future is also two words. But you are different, you are a graduate of Peking University, a cadre, and you have achieved the level of a regular department in the Shengli Oilfield, right? Shengli Oilfield is now the Shengli Oilfield Management Bureau, and it has a proper administrative establishment. Moreover, you are also an independent director of the China National Petroleum Corporation, and when the time comes, we will find a way to operate it, and maybe we can free up a position at the deputy director level. Hou Haiqing changed his perspective.

Su Cheng still smiled and said, "I'm not interested in politics. ”

"Although Secretary Su has three children, Su Zhen is a girl. The one who can carry the beam is you and Su Xing. Now that Su Xing is no longer in politics, wouldn't it be a pity if you didn't go into politics either?" Hou Haiqing, as the son-in-law of the Su family, is indeed quite optimistic about Su Cheng. He said hard: "Old Man Su only has one son, Secretary Su. So, you are now the only grandson of Old Man Su who can enter politics. You can single-handedly fight your way out of the Victory Oilfield and get the Arabian Oilfield. Then you should know that it is a pity to give up such good conditions. ”

Su Cheng shook his head firmly and said, "If you want to choose a career, I won't go to Shengli Oilfield." ”

"You may have made a choice back then, why don't you make a choice now?" Hou Haiqing said without giving up: "You are also the chairman now, and the management work you do is the same as being an official, if you want me to say, your work may be more difficult." Since they are all in management, why not be a big official? Minister of Energy. Or a senior position in the State Department, which I think is more suitable for you and can play your role better. ”

Su Cheng smiled, turned sideways and said, "Doing business and doing administration are two concepts. Now that it's here, you can see what we're up to. ”

He brought Hou Haiqing into the factory.

Dahua Laboratory occupies a quarter of the area of Jinan Power Engine Factory, that is, 1,000 acres of land. Here, in addition to the four small laboratories scattered together, there is also a large newly built laboratory building, as well as two side-by-side buildings.

Drilling rig equipment from the sea. It belongs to medium and large equipment, so most of it is displayed in the factory and used as a warehouse. When it was time to do the experiment, the individual parts were sent to the laboratory building, and there was a small track in between the two that led directly to the elevator on the ground floor, which was very convenient.

When the two of them walked into the factory, they could see the empty hall, the various laboratories and offices separated by glass and ground glass, among which were the "waste" equipment and the theoretical research of the blackboard.

Su Cheng pointed to Yao Zefan's laboratory and said, "This is what we do. Neither the Department of Energy nor the State Department will ever do it. ”

"Factories and manufacturing?"

"Heavy industry. Accurate to what this factory does, we are making the land. An offshore oil rig is worth more than 1 square kilometre of land, and if we have 1,000 offshore oil rigs, we are building another Hong Kong. ”

"Even if you are in politics, it will not affect your creation of land. ”

"Maybe. However, there are two kinds of people who think about politics and people who think about industry. Politics should be leapfrogging, and industry should be continuous. Politicians can't do well with industry, and the most they can do is take advantage of the benefits of industrial progress. "Sioux City says this for a reason, China is actually catching the first wave of offshore drilling platforms. In 1973, in view of the international situation at that time, in order to defend the country's offshore oil and gas sovereignty, the country urgently needed a number of offshore drilling platforms that could exploit oil and gas resources in deep waters and harsh sea conditions, and China's first batch of drilling platforms was born at that time.

Moreover, after 11 years of hard work, in July 1984, the 708 Research Institute, Shanghai Shipyard and the Marine Geological Survey Bureau of the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources jointly designed and built China's first semi-submersible oil drilling platform "Exploration No. 3" by Shanghai Shipyard and officially put it into use. It has reached the level of a second-generation drilling platform.

However, this is also the only self-built offshore semi-submersible drilling platform in China. For 20 years, since 1984, China has not built a single offshore drilling platform. The 11 years of hard work of the three departments are actually in vain.

Modern people understand that in industrial production, the cost of design and experiment is the most expensive, and the manufacturing cost is much lower than the two, and the more the same product is produced, the more the cost of design and experiment can be amortized.

If only one offshore drilling platform is built, it can be said that it has no value except for political significance. It costs ten or twenty times more money than buying an offshore drilling rig, and it wastes an immeasurable amount of researchers' time and energy.

It can be said that the engineers and researchers who participated in the "Exploration No. 3" drilling platform that day only wasted 11 years of spring and autumn.

Twenty years later, China has once again restarted offshore drilling rig missions over oil and gas fields in the South China Sea. This time it's the sixth generation of offshore drilling platforms. The technical difficulty of the drilling platform spanning four generations is tantamount to starting over, and the previous experience and accumulation are completely useless, and if the designers of the year have not retired, the experience from the "Exploration No. 3" will not be much more than that of the recent graduates.

Sioux City has a hard time estimating how much the sixth-generation offshore rig will cost, and it is not known if a second sixth-generation offshore rig will appear. But the impulsiveness of politics completely neutralized the benefits of industrial progress. In fact, it's counterproductive.

In such a high-risk, high-investment project as an offshore rig, Sioux City does not see the slightest sign of political success.

As a result, he was convinced of the assertion that politics was using industry. This surprised Hou Haiqing slightly.

The tradition in China has always been that political correctness can create an industrial miracle. In other words, it was politics that laid the industrial foundations. Hou Haiqing has never considered it in the opposite direction.

Only those who are really in the wave of industry know that industrial progress does not care about your political ideas, it only does elimination.

Politics that cannot be adapted to industrial production will be eliminated.

Considering Su Cheng's tone, Hou Haiqing hesitated and said, "It seems that you have made up your mind?"

"Yes. ”

"This is a great opportunity. ”

Su Cheng shook his head and said, "I'll take my Yangguan Road, and he will take his single-plank bridge." ”

"Then I'll go back. Also, I've heard that you refuse to pick up the goods in arrears and late payment, which is offensive. "Hou Haiqing, this is pure concern.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "It's better than not paying them in arrears." ”

"Just pay attention to yourself. ”

"Director Yang sent you out. Su Cheng stood at the door, watched Yang Ming send Hou Haiqing to the car, and then returned directly to the factory.

These dismantled waste products are very important, for foreign companies, they have many ways to communicate, Chinese companies do not have the conditions, so they can only "communicate" through maintenance.

In the future, the company that designed and manufactured the sixth generation of offshore drilling platforms was completed by the former maintenance factory. This is how the road of imitation in post-developed countries probably began. There is a huge difference between seeing the complete set of equipment directly and reading the equipment information through books.

Sioux City can stay in the office, sign autographs, eat some steak, and be a manager. But at the end of the 80s, the management was not able to manage the factory well, and even the director of the factory could not sit in the office and have meetings every day, especially the problems he wanted to focus on.

As usual, Sioux City, along with the researchers, pounced on these "scraps".

China, once again in lockdown, will only get scrap in the coming years. Intact products can be transported to the deserts of Saudi Arabia, can be transported to the glaciers of Antarctica, but cannot pass through the South China Sea, which is helpless.

However, for the fledgling offshore equipment, the value of scrap is sufficient.

The Hua 107 offshore drilling platform was being renovated and built at the same time. At a visible speed, the fabrication of the sinking pads, columns and platform decks was completed, and then they were sent to the port of COSCO Shipping, where the platform decks were transferred to the columns for high-altitude closure with large floating cranes, which were completed more than twice as fast as the speed mentioned by Sioux City at the press conference.

Of course, COSCO's suppliers are more than twice as fast as this, and so are the suppliers of suppliers who consume materials.

Dahua Industrial paid the funds to COSCO Shipping on time, but COSCO Shipping adopted the longest method adopted by state-owned enterprises at this time and defaulted on the payment.

The entire line of capital chains is quietly tightened.
