Chapter 178 Mergers and Acquisitions of Shipping Companies

Jensen has been in China for a long time and has had several contacts with Sucheng, which can better understand China's national system and war system.

He thought for a moment and said, "Let's ask Su Cheng directly."

Jason left while talking and laughed, "Halleburton is also studying power positioning. If Dahua's system can be used in 100 days, we don't mind buying it. In fact, although Dahua does not sell technology, it has always been very open to technology sharing, but the price is a little harsh.

Simon snorted with his nose.

Jason smiled and said, "Their technology has always been unique. If they can save two years, money is not a problem."

"The technology in the 1960s, after 20 years of development, was actually preempted by the Chinese people. It's also too bad for you. You haven't studied much power positioning until today, have you?" Simon shook his head repeatedly, quite dissatisfied. Their Fenor shipping industry has always studied certain aspects of technology, and the rest have to buy the right to use it from large service providers such as Halliburton. Now looking at Halliburton buying Chinese technology, all kinds of unhilities are surging.

Jensen didn't know why, so he explained on the side: "As you said, our drilling platform is not ready to enter the deep sea of 1,000 meters... It is inevitable that the technical reserves are not perfect."

While talking, Jason went straight to Su City and said what he meant.

Su Cheng said without hesitation, "Let's talk about it above."

Only then did Jensen notice that there was a row of offices on the second floor of the workshop, and he could faintly see people.

Enter one of them and you can see the whole row of computers and three researchers using them.

It's different from the computers covered with red velvet that Jason had ever seen. These open-air machines still have books and notes on the monitor and computer desk, which are commonly used at first glance.

Simon noticed the brand of ibm and found that they were all commercial models within three years, and there were a large number of them, so he couldn't help counting them secretly. Pay special attention to the number of computers in other rooms. As a result, he was kicked out.

Even so, he was a little surprised, in Jason's ear. He said, "They may be all-electronic mapping."

Jason nodded extremely slowly.

Nowadays, there are two ways to make high-end machinery, one is to draw design drawings by hand. One is to make an electronic format. There is no absolute difference in the effect between the two. If it is really different, it is the latter in international bidding.

Because international bidding is worldwide, Singapore's shipyards may bid for Venezuela's projects and bring the completed drawings, which inevitably requires various modifications. These are all to be returned to the Singapore headquarters for correction. The air traffic is not only expensive and slow, but also the risk is greatly increased, which is far less affordable than the electronic version.

Therefore, companies interested in participating in international bidding. It is necessary to consider using the design drawings in an all-electronic format, and Chinese cannot be used. Otherwise, the ship owner's equipment has no Chinese decoding, and the printing is garbled.

China's current shipping companies and oil companies can't even solve their own needs for offshore drilling platforms. Naturally, I have no interest in international bidding. As the representative of Halliburton in China, Jensen has been to many large enterprises, but he has never seen Chinese people use the full electronic version of the design. If he changed to another company, he would not think about it, but considering that Dahua Industry has just won the oil field in Abu Dhabi. Jason's eyes changed.

Not to mention anything else, the power positioning technology and leakage prevention alone can form the core of an offshore drilling platform. For the rest, they can completely contract as a whole and then outsource separately like the Fenor shipping industry, so as to make excess profits.

Jason looked at all kinds of equipment in the office and said secretly: Su Cheng is definitely not for us to have a look.

Thinking of the confidentiality system implemented by this guy in Dahua Laboratory, Jason became more and more certain.

Su Cheng went to the side to pour water back and said with a smile, "So, do you want the technology of power positioning?"

"That's right." Jason raised his neck and was ready to be slaughtered. He said, "You make an offer."

Foreigners in China in the 1980s were usually used to being slaughtered. It is also a visit to the Forbidden City. Chinese people spend 10 cents, and foreigners have to pay 2 dollars. But on the other hand, foreigners don't think it's expensive.

However, Su Cheng did not engage in price discrimination this time. He looked wary of not wanting to sell, and said, "Our power positioning system is also being tested."

"We understand, but if it is a systematic technology, even if it is not complete, we are also interested. Please make an offer." In terms of this set of technology, Jensen feels that spending millions of dollars is not a problem.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "You can take a look at the technical documents of power positioning first."

"Is it okay?"

"There is no problem with descriptiveness. Besides, it's all the patented technology." Su Cheng smiled as if he were generous.

Simon was surprised: Chinese people are still very easy to get along with.

Only Jason was nervous and felt that Su Cheng had planted some secret trap.

In a moment, a large number of technical materials were really sent, and some electronic materials were also transferred to the room.

A 60-year-old woman operated on the computer system to help with the display.

Su Cheng introduced: "This is Ms. Shen Keyu, who retired from Zhongchuan Heavy Industry, and is now responsible for our platform outsourcing business with Zhongchuan. By the way, our largest outsourcing supplier is China Shipbuilding Heavy Industry.

"Hello, Ms. Shen Keyyu." Jason looked at the folds on the old man's face and thought: At such an old age, he can still work.

In fact, the computer level of Mrs. Orange Peel is better than that of the three people in this room.

I only saw that people quickly entered a string of symbols, pulled up the three-dimensional map of the dynamic positioning system, and eliminated all the data that should not appear. The whole action made people unable to react at all.

Simon was surprised and said, "Is this the pdms system? Three-dimensional layout design management system?

"Yes." Su Cheng nod his head.

"Well, only in this way can the sea platform fully reflect the collision resistance." Simon said these words in English, which is not very clear.

Su Cheng smiled gently and did not answer. Instead, he aimed at the screen and said, "This is the power positioning system we made, the 6 propeller system. The environmental load was calculated by considering the wind, flow force, wave force, referring to the relevant information of api and ocmf, and calculated by the Norwegian classification society sesam program. The prime mover of the thruster adopts a diesel engine and controls the speed with a throttle system... It has been designed to simulate the thrust system.

"Isn't that the design part is completed?" Jason was completely surprised this time.

"It's almost like this. Let's do the trial processing now. In order to complete this set of technology, in addition to using the tracking research carried out in the 1970s, the Offshore Oil Research Institute also lent all the researchers from central enterprises such as China Shipping at high prices, plus the high-paying young people from abroad and the direction determined by Sucheng.

The whole system costs nearly 10 million yuan, which is the highest investment project in the history of Suzhou City.

Even the Halliburton Group does not dare to say that it has invested so much research on an immature technology. On the contrary, if the finished product can be bought directly at the same price, Harry Burton will be happy.

"Let's offer the price." I don't know how many times Jason said that.

Su Cheng finally nodded and said, "We are ready to take out this power positioning system, anti-leakage system, and a fire protection system to form a new company, Dahua Shipping Industry. Based on Dahua Shipping Industry, it acquired a small and medium-sized shipping company with international bidding qualifications. If Halliburton is willing to participate, he can use these technologies through this company in the future.

"Small and medium-sized shipping companies with international bidding qualifications..." Jason chewed this sentence and unconsciously glanced at Simon.

Fenor Shipping is a shipping company that meets this condition.

Simon quickly reacted, raised his eyebrows and said, "Fenoll Shipping will not sell it."

"You don't have to buy Fenor's shipping industry, any one that meets the standards is fine." Su Cheng didn't even look at Simon. As an engineering salesperson, things are out of his control.

Jason didn't care about Simon and said thoughtfully, "It costs a lot of money to acquire such an enterprise."

"I can take out part of it, plus power positioning and other technologies to buy shares, according to our 50% each..."

"For Dahua Industry, which is preparing for oilfield development, it seems that the return on such capital investment is not high..." Jason asked puzzledly.

Su Cheng laughed and said nothing. For him, as long as Halliburton recognizes the technology of Dahua Industry, the money can be borrowed extra. Taiwan is in a period of industrial transformation, and the major consortia can't run out of money, which is exactly the opposite extremes of the mainland.

After this year, the situation will slowly turn upside down.

While Taiwan Plastics dares to invest 7 billion US dollars in the mainland, it also tries to carry out six light construction in Taiwan. Its capital thickness can support the development of two or three oilfields on its own, only on whether it is necessary and whether Sucheng can win it.

After getting a briefing, Jason and Simon went back with different minds.

The shipbuilding industry in Germany and the United States is shrinking, or the world's shipbuilding industry is shifting from Europe to the Near East, and Singapore, Malaysia and other countries have benefited from it. Small and medium-sized companies like Fenor's shipping industry, it is difficult to ignore large cash acquisitions.

Su Cheng returned to the office and immediately ordered, "Now draft an explanatory document and ask Minister Tang of COSCO Shipping if he is willing to send someone to learn technology."

Huo Chang understood and said, "I'll contact them right away. How about in the name of technical exchange?"

"Well, it's almost the same. Let them send more people here. If they can take the lead, they have a lot of work."
