The newcomer is still the Chinese team. At the head were two half-tracked trucks, followed by a water truck and a tracked vehicle, most of which were Russian-made trucks.

The frozen soil of Siberia is almost impossible to build concrete roads, and even if the British BP wants to transport supplies in Tyumen, the first consideration is Russian heavy trucks. In order to develop Siberia, the Soviet Union once invested a lot in land vehicles, and the stupid and coarse Russian equipment was also very suitable for the muddy land of Siberia, and with the establishment of the Russian Federation, idle companies sold or rented vehicles one after another.

The Russians, who had run out of the camp to meet the food, were puzzled when they saw that it was another Chinese exploration team, but they were greeted anyway.

In contrast, Li Zhengfu was surprised.

"The fourth. Li Zhengfu watched in a low voice as Su Cheng walked out of the temporary board room in neat clothes to greet the exploration team from China.

Vaguely, you can still hear terms such as "East China Geophysical Exploration Bureau", although he is Chinese, the Chinese can only be said to be reluctant, and he did not understand the meaning for a while.

Ito Nobunshige was a little expected of the large number of people in China, not as surprised as Li Zhengfu, and he had the leisure to count, and said: "This team is between three hundred and four hundred people, which is slightly more than the number of the first three teams, even if it is transported by train, it will also account for four or five carriages, and the capacity of the Trans-Siberian Railway has almost been used to the limit by them, and it is impossible for there to be more people." ”

"Well, four exploration teams, it doesn't affect the overall situation. Li Zhengfu also said the same thing to comfort himself. After all, the other side added more than 1,000 explorers in a day. There are already more people than them.

Exploration itself, is a mixture of technology and manpower. Clever technology is about saving manpower, which is especially important in foreign companies that are concerned about profits, but if you pick up speed. Even aerial exploration is inseparable from the exploration work on the ground, and if there are more people in the ground exploration, their technical advantages can be completely neutralized.

Nobuyigge Ito nodded noncommittally and said, "Hurry the plane, and in addition, we have to consider some alternatives." ”

"What alternative?"

"Recruit one or two Russian exploration teams as a supplement so that the Chinese do not use crowd tactics. "Nobuyshige Ito is not stingy with money at this time. I'm Japanese. He still has some understanding of China's crowd tactics, but his understanding is also limited. Otherwise, it would not be said that it is one or two Russian exploration teams.

Li Zhengfu was naturally willing to take the method of insurance, and immediately said: "I'll go find someone." However, our exploration design plan has been made, where will the recruited Russian exploration team be used?"

"Supplemental exploration will be carried out on the periphery first, and other exploration teams can also increase the number of manpower as much as possible. Increase efficiency. "Nobuyshige Ito also has no experience in deploying a large number of exploration teams, and Ito Trading Company has been involved in the development of many oil fields, but the number of people employed is rarely more than 1,000 people, and no matter how much it has to be outsourced. And he is not to blame for that. With the exception of China and the former Soviet Union, few other countries have organized oil exploration teams of tens of thousands of people. There is also no relevant experience.

The development of China's oil industry is completely different from that of foreign countries. China's industrial base is weak, and the foundation of the oil industry is even weaker. In the 50s, he began to engage in oil exploration, and it can be said that he relied entirely on his own exploration. In the case that technology development cannot be immediately effective, it can only be done by the people themselves, so we have considerable experience in the coordination of a large number of human resources.

The iron man Wang Jinxi once organized manpower to carry a drilling rig weighing dozens of tons by shouldering it. It wasn't for fame, it was for real work, and that's what people did at that time. Because the state cannot provide enough handling machinery, or even no handling machinery at all. In this case, do you just watch the rig fall into the dust and rust, or wait for a crane to fall from the sky to help?

In Africa's democratic republics, union-protected workers have been waiting, some for more than 30 years. As a result, after 30 years of development, African democracies that have emerged from colonization are still making no progress, and some are even regressing.

If they do not have the level of development of developed countries in Europe and the United States, but they think about the leisure of developed countries in Europe and the United States, and they also want the labor protection of developed countries in Europe and the United States, the result is that everyone's labor is worthless. The resource extraction sector manufactures machinery in the industrial sector, the industrial sector purchases equipment in the foreign trade sector, the foreign trade sector approves funds in the financial sector, and the financial sector makes money in the resource extraction industry. In the end, after a turn, everyone felt that the conditions were insufficient, so no one did anything.

If China learned from the Western industrial model, the 21st century's silk people wanted to masturbate, it is estimated that they would have to borrow a kerosene lamp shy first, and then copy a golden plum bottle overnight for backup. In that kind of China, the seeds are still planted in the field, the cavalry and infantry will still only appear in the war books, and Japan is still an enemy country, and only when it talks about cornfields, it will attract a burst of boos and red faces.

Nobushige Ito and Li Zhengfu couldn't even reach the level of China proficiency, and although they were nervous, they didn't really think that they would lose. If they weren't seventy or eighty percent sure, they wouldn't dare to give up compensation and sign this racing contract.

So, after a few idle words, the two returned to the office and contacted the domestic company separately.

Dinner was held in the big wooden house of Alexe, and he asked the chef to make a traditional Russian borscht, served with simple bacon and bacon, plus canned meat and fruit, which was quite a sumptuous dinner.

Sioux Cheng sat on opposite sides of the long table with Nobuyoge Ito and Masao Lee, leaving the main seat to Alexei and his wife.

Everyone sat together, and naturally they wanted to talk about the oil field.

Alexei asked Sioux Cheng for a while, and then toasted Li Zhengfu, and everyone kept a considerable smile.

A bottle of vodka went down, Alikse's face blushed a little, he clasped the cup with a smile, and said, "You can't get drunk today, oil field work is the most important." How long do you think it will take to be able to explore for oil. ”

Nobuyug Ito laughed and said, "Mr. Alexei is in such a hurry?"

"Before the oil is all expenses, after the oil is all income. Hehe...... I don't have a lot of money, and I'd love to see crude oil sooner. Alexei shook his head and smiled.

"Of course, we expect to see oil in half a year. I can't say for sure exactly when. After all, the exploration team has only entered a week. While Li Zhengfu spoke, he thought to himself: You have already obtained the race exploration, you are not idle enough, if it is not for other people's contracts, who cares about you.

Alikse took a bite of the sausage and said with satisfaction: "Half a year is very good." What about Chairman Su? Can Dahua Industrial see oil within half a year?"

"There's a chance. Sioux City was succinct and to the point.

Li Zhengfu laughed twice and said, "Su Dong is really full of confidence, is it because of the exploration team that has been added today? Dahua is really generous. ”

With the exception of Alixe, the other three chose to communicate in English. Alixai was a little struggling to listen to the translation, and said incomprehensibly at this time: "Chairman Su has added an exploration team unplanned?"

"Oh no. The exploration team that came today. It's planned. ”

"A 1,000-strong exploration team?"

"Four exploration teams, a total of about 1,100 people. ”

"Oh, listen to Mr. Li, will you continue to send people?" Although he didn't understand oil exploration, the more people there were, the faster the exploration. Always understood.

Su Cheng nodded and said, "There will be support in the future." ”

The word support has a broad meaning and can be both exploration teams and logistical support.

Nevertheless. Alikse also smiled very happily: "I like Su Dong's style, people are the most powerful." More powerful than any machine, when the USSR. We are exploring for oil, and we have sent a lot of exploration teams. Siberia is too big, and with few people, nothing can be done. ”

"There are indeed many similarities between China and the Soviet Union. Su Cheng gestured with his glass, then took a sip lightly.

Li Zhengfu's heart moved, and he turned to Alikse and asked: "If it was a Soviet company doing racing exploration, how many people do you think would participate?"

Alixai is also a smart person, and knows that Li Zhengfu wants to get information. But the purpose of holding this dinner was to give both sides access to information, and this kind of competition could prompt them to do their best. So, Alikse said with a smile: "If it is the national oil company of the Soviet Union, if necessary, it will often organize a team of more than 10,000 people to carry out exploration, that is, 20 to 30 exploration teams. ”

Li Zhengfu was taken aback: "30 exploration teams?"

Sioux City remained silent and said secretly: The population of the Soviet Union is still small. What is the size of 10,000 people, and China will not prepare 5780,000 people for any major battle. 100,000 is not too much.

Even so, Li Zhengfu felt incredible, looked at Su Cheng and said, "Su Dong is not going to send 30 exploration teams." ”

Su Cheng smiled but did not speak.

Nobuyoge Ito's face changed, and finally asked in a deep voice: "The expenses of the 30 exploration teams?

"What do you mean?"

"30 exploration teams...... If Su Dong really does this, we have no choice but to increase the number of exploration teams. ”

"Oh, how many more?" Su Cheng raised the corners of his mouth. The crowd tactic is indeed a tactic that can be imitated and copied, but it also depends on the situation. If it were to be replaced by the Singapore and Malaysia Group itself, it might be possible to outsource 25,678 exploration teams from Malaysia, Brazil and even Norway and the United Kingdom. However, with the addition of the Ito Group, it is not possible.

For a company of Fortune 500 size, bureaucracy often trumps the urge to make a profit. If the Ito Group were to outsource an exploration company, it would have to sign a contract that complied with the norms, and it would be able to negotiate with each other. As soon as the outsourcing exploration company looks at the order of the world's top 500 companies, the asking price will rise, and they tend to sign a guaranteed contract.

Whether it's Ito, BP, or ExxonMobil, the monthly cost of hiring an exploration team is more than $100,000, and inviting 30 exploration teams at the same time means that the labor cost alone is millions of dollars per month.

The Singapore and Malaysia Group cannot afford it.

Not only can't they afford it, but they can't use it. Even if they get 30 exploration teams, it will be very troublesome to integrate these teams from different companies. Petroleum exploration is not really an inch-by-inch planing, but a targeted monitoring and verification, so as to make scientific inferences.

China has spent many years training and integrating different exploration teams so that they can be called upon and used at any time. How could exploration teams in other countries have never had this kind of exploration experience, so how can they be born to know.
