Chapter 180 Merge

The offshore drilling platform is like a thin man with a fat waist and a slender lower column, supporting the thickness of the two hulls in the middle. The superstructure is like the chin after liposuction, and there are few places under the countless folds that can be used.

A barge towed the platform and slowly sailed to the Dao oil field.

Su Cheng and others got on the commuter boat, followed, and watched the platform in front of them disembark, pull out piles, sail, put them in place, ballast...

Four or five hundred workers, engineers and others crowded on the deck, intoxicated.

In their eyes, the gyro-like drilling platform is simply beautiful, like a 50-meter-long beauty, which can't be more beautiful.

Due to the early planning, expected reporting and shortening of the process chain, and the implementation of cross-work, the work that originally had to be carried out for a few days was completed in only one day.

When Sha Mingyin reported "everything is ready" on the walkie-talkie, the jubilation of the crowd also affected the foreigners present.

Jason patted Su Cheng on the shoulder and said, "We must celebrate. I believe that Dahua Shipping will be so smooth."

"Dahua Shipping has sufficient orders. As long as the operation is adjusted, the profit is naturally not a problem." Su Cheng said calmly. What he is pursuing is no longer pure profit.

Jensen smiled at Sioux City and said seriously, "This investment was completed by me. If it can be achieved, I will definitely promote further cooperation between Halliburton and Dahua Shipping Industry."

Sioux City knew what he was thinking and said with a smile, "There is no problem with the management mainly Halliburton. I believe that Halliburton's connections will make the company expand rapidly.

"Don't worry." Jason nodded with a little gratitude. The new company is located in Hong Kong. However, the production plant is located in the mainland to take advantage of the abundant cheap labor costs. However, if the operation is also handed over to the mainland, and when the order of Dahua Industry is completed, it is difficult to say the future of the shipping company. In the late 1980s, China's terms of trade were much weaker than those of Southeast Asian countries.

Simon's expression was a little embarrassed, and he just looked and didn't say anything. The pace of Halliburton's acquisition is underway. They are looking for several companies, including Fenor Shipping. In this capital operation, Simon is the sales director of the Asian region. I can only let my fate go. Considering the possibility of becoming a subordinate of Jason and the yellow man, Simon's mood is naturally not good.

Hu Jian stood on the other side of Sucheng and listened to them. I sighed secretly. COSCO Shipping has wanted to join the international bidding group for a long time, but they can't do it because it's too difficult. It's too simple to fight. In the end, they can't go up and continue to repair the ship industry.

At this time, he also looked at the shallow sea drilling platform in front of him with some worries. In private estimation, even if you learn something and go back, you still can't build such a shallow sea drilling platform with COSCO's own business. With the opening of a new road of China's offshore oil equipment in Dahua Shipping Industry, Hu Jian was worried about the company in front of him and divided up all the cakes.

Unconsciously, it was getting late, and the commuter boat started the engine. Go around the drilling platform, hang a colorful flag, and return to land.

behind. The headlights were turned on at the derrick, as if a torch was lit in the middle of the sea. The clatter of cold circulating water and the rumbling sound of the rig made the silence of the sea disappear.

Su Cheng turned around and looked at Hu Jian and said with a smile, "Manager Hu. Even if this order is finished, what do you think of COSCO Shipping?

"Naturally, we will continue to fight for orders. Anyway, it is better than the profit of repairing the ship." Hu Jianfang looks younger. Standing in the bow of the ship, he also looks a little energetic. If the 50-meter large platform is built abroad, it may cost two million US dollars, but in China, the cost is only half. Even so, it is a rare large order for COSCO shipping.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "The ship can be repaired for at least another 20 years. If you are unlucky, offshore oil equipment may not make more money than ship repair.

"But the output value of a single person is much higher than that of repairing a ship." Hu Jian touched the newly grown stubble and said, "In our state-owned enterprises, the most important thing we should pay attention to is the single-person output value. Because people are recruited, they can't be dismissed, so we must do high-value-added work. We can't focus on pure profits. That kind of business risk is too high."

Su Cheng couldn't help looking at him with new eyes and said, "Manager Hu, if COSCO Shipping is a leader like you, it will take a few years to prosper."

"If you say so, I'm serious." Hu Jian felt comfortable all over. After all, Su Cheng had no place to beg him. This beautiful words were completely different from the flattery he usually received.

The celebration on the deck was getting louder and louder, and Jason was also involved in the lively crowd by his compatriots. Su Cheng looked at the front with a smile until his sight was blocked by a piece of fiery red clothes.

"Factory Director Su, my name is He Yuwei. Like Manager Hu, I am the executive manager of COSCO Shipping." He Yuwei is up to 30 years old, with a goose egg face and long bangs. In addition to being shrewd and capable, she still has a charming color. On the ship full of gray and yellow males, it is so bright that people can't squint.

Hu Jian rushed up from behind, pushed away his secretary, and said to Su Cheng, "Factory Director Su, this is my deputy, He Yuwei. As soon as she arrived today, she let her get on the boat first.

Su Cheng smiled with understanding. Facing He Yuwei, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Actually, I wanted to invite Director Su to have two meals, and then make a request after a little familiarity. However, since you have asked, I will say it directly. Is it possible for us to invest in Dahua Industry and share technology? He Yuwei said business in a joking tone. If it were a man, it would be intolerable, but women had the advantage and would not feel strange.

Su Cheng would not regard her as a joke. He frowned and said, "Well, how does Manager He want to invest?"

"We pay a certain proportion of the money, such as 30%, and then get 30% of the shares, and share the technology of Dahua Shipping." He Yuwei quickly took a quick look at Hu Jian and continued, "We have never had a way out. Now we have seen the opportunity. Please don't blame Mr. Su Cheng."

Her words are in line with Hu Jian's previous feelings. However, Hu Jian was obviously calm and could stand the fate of the boss after working first, and He Yuwei was a little eager to achieve success.

Su Cheng changed his mind. He laughed and said, "If you can really invest in Dahua Shipping Industry, it won't do me any harm. However, I will not propose or approve it.

"Why?" While He Yuwei's eyes widened, she unconsciously straightened up her chest. She is a little short, but exquisite and very interesting.

Su Cheng glanced at it quickly and withdrew his eyes. He lowered his head and said, "Now the 50% ratio of each side is the result of a concession, if I propose or agree. Jason would think that we conspired to seize control, but it was not beautiful. I don't want to break this trust. I also hope you can understand." Su Cheng was very polite, but he also quietly pointed out the stakes: the shares acquired by COSCO will affect the controlling interest.

He Yuwei nodded gratefully and said, "I understand, but I don't know how much money should be spent on about 30% of the shares?"

"Dahua Industry invested in shares with technology and capital, and spent more than 10 million US dollars. The total capital of the company is 40 million. This money is mainly used to acquire foreign small and medium-sized shipping companies to form its own technology system, and the total amount is expected to be enough. Su Cheng's smile was warm, just like his performance in front of people.

"I can also help with the acquisition of the company. Which company do you like?"

"Newco in the Netherlands ranks first. Then there is a company in Norway and the United Kingdom, and the German company Fenol is also under consideration. I heard that these have been contacted.

"Did you hear that?"

"The acquisition was all completed by Halliburton."

He Yuwei shook her head repeatedly and said, "How can this work? It's easy to be deceived by others. Don't private enterprises care about money now? I'll go to the representative of Halliburton now and say..."

"My name is Jason." Su Cheng corrected.

"Yes, Jason." He Yuwei laughed, and her shrewdity disappeared, leaving all the mature charm.

Su Cheng couldn't help asking, "Do you have enough money?"

"This year, the central government seems to have special funds in this regard, and we COSCO are qualified to fight for it." He Yuwei said. I hurried to find Jason.

Hu Jian sighed and said, "Factory Director Su, I'm sorry, He Yuwei's background is different from ours. After arriving at the sea, she is single-minded to do great things and cause you trouble."

He also quietly pointed out He Yuwei's background.

Actually, she doesn't need to say that Su Cheng is also clear. How can ordinary people dare to win the special funds of the central government? In addition, Hu Jian has become the executive manager of COSCO Shipping at the age of 40. He Yuwei has reached the same position at a young age, and the probability of pure hard work is too low.

Su Cheng nodded and said, "Zhongyuan Shipping is a Chinese company anyway. Dahua Shipping Industry is not the core business of our Dahua Industry. If He Yuwei can get shares, it will be a good thing for both sides."

"But it's not a good thing for Halliburton, right?" Hu Jian understood what he meant.

Su Cheng laughed and said, "So let him get Jason's consent. If he can give a certain amount of benefits and make Jason feel satisfied, it will be something that everyone is satisfied with. If it doesn't work, then everything will be the same. Manager Hu, whether COSCO Shipping can get shares or not, in terms of engineering, I hope you can take more attention.

"Sertainly." Hu Jian said, but he was still a little sorry. He explained again, "COSCO Shipping has been a downstream enterprise for so many years, and has always wanted to develop upstream. He Yuwei is still a young man. She is a little impatient... Please bear with her.

Hu Jian said later, and some of them couldn't go on. Since studying Su Cheng's resume, he has never regarded Su Cheng as a young man, but when talking face to face, how Su Cheng looks young...

"Our Dahua also wants to strive for the upper reaches. Whether it is successful this time or not, there is still a chance next time." Su Cheng quietly changed the topic. He was not optimistic about He Yuwei's lobbying. Johnson not only has a foreign background, but also a foreign capital background in Halliburton. As a super oil service provider that can do business in 185 countries around the world, they have some experience in dealing with local snakes.

Even if He Yuwei has twice the benefits, she may not be able to tell Johnson.

Dahua Industry can invest more than 10 million US dollars. In addition to cash and technical investment, there is also hidden order investment. The Sultan oil field in Abu Dhabi requires at least five large offshore drilling platforms. Depending on the exploration situation, more than eight may be needed in the later stage. These orders are the foundation for the start of Dahua Shipping Industry.

On the other hand, Sioux City and Halliburton have cooperated many times, and the background of the central enterprise of COSCO Shipping is an obstacle at this time.

Not long after, He Yuwei came back with a cold face. Jason's refusal was straightforward and did not give her a chance to explain at all.

without waiting for the inquiry, He Yuwei said to Su Cheng, "Factory Director Su, what can we do to let COSCO Shipping join this cooperation?"

"The success of this cooperation depends to a large extent on the foreign companies acquired. With the technology of our Dahua Industry, it is definitely not advantageous in the bidding of offshore oil equipment. Halliburton just stepped into this circle with one foot..." Su Cheng half persuaded and half explained.

Seeing that Su Cheng was absent-minded, He Yuwei asked, "What should I do? Dahua Industry is willing to help?"

"There is really nothing I can do to help." Su Cheng spread out his hand and said.

He Yuwei looked at him with a smile and didn't force him. Her eyes flowed and said, "Let's talk about it next time."

Watching her walk down the deck, Su Cheng couldn't help but be surprised. He turned to Hu Jian and said, "Manager Hu, you have to tell me the truth. What's going on?"

"This... Hu Jian hesitated and didn't say it.

"Looking at Manager He's appearance, he doesn't care much about money." Twenty years later, central enterprises can not care about money, but in 1989, foreign exchange was quite rare, not what can be obtained if needed. It depends more or less on relationships, and it is a personal relationship.

More than 10 million US dollars, there is no doubt that it is a favor. No matter how excellent He Yuwei's family background is, it is the same. This makes Su Cheng feel strange. Just for the transformation of Zhongyuan navigation, there is no need for He Yuwei, an executive manager, to be so active.

From Su Cheng's point of view, central enterprises, such as monopolistic enterprises with strong capital and huge financing advantages, do not have to chase emerging hot spots at all. When the market is mature, it is the right way to press them with policy and capital advantages. The same is true of the blue giant of the free world like IBM.

Hu Jian was quite scrupulous and whispered, "If it is more than 10 million, Manager He can indeed do it."

"Is it necessary to have more than 10 million dollars?" The money invested by Sucheng was borrowed from Formosa Plastics for the purpose of developing the Setan oil field, which is similar to the strong wind. No matter how good He Yuwei's family is, it is probably more difficult to make money with the template of COSCO shipping.

Hu Jian said helplessly, "We took the initiative to seek foreign investment, but we have never succeeded. Enterprises like Halliburton are simply... How to say, they are indeed worth more than 10 million."

"Do you want to go public?" Su Cheng asked doubtfully.

"How come." Hu Jian smiled.

"If you really want to invest in Dahua Shipping, you have to let me know something." Su Cheng curled his lips in the sea breeze, smelling salty.

Hu Jian thought for a long time, and it was true. Then he slowly said, "Receiving the news, we will probably merge with several companies such as Shangyuan Transportation."
