Chapter 190 Foreign Engineers

Ren He Yuwei wanted to break her head, but she didn't understand why Su Cheng focused on delaying for two months.

However, she now has great admiration for Su Cheng. She will investigate without saying anything.

Su Cheng thought about it for a while, left the venue and went straight to the branch of Halliburton.

He actually has some interest in offshore floating production and oil storage devices. Therefore, it is left to COSCO Shipping. On the one hand, the energy is not good, and on the other hand, the qualification of COSCO Shipping is more suitable.

The so-called "onshore floating production oil storage device" sounds complicated, but it is actually simple. In terms of technical conditions in the late 1980s and early 1990s, 90% of FPSOs were modified with old tankers.

The tanker itself has the ability to store oil, and floating on the sea is naturally a basic element. The only thing that needs to be improved is to make it have a certain production capacity. Either preliminary treatment, or simply producing refined oil and then shipping it to the consumer country can reduce a lot of costs. And it also reduces the pressure on the offshore drilling platform.

Once this technology is developed, it becomes the competition of engineering technology. Because the technical barrier is very weak, it is indeed more difficult to install petrochemical equipment on a 100,000-ton or even 200,000-ton tanker than on the road, but there is no essential change.

In the impression of Suchong. China's large maritime engineering companies will be involved in this field in three or five years at most. By 2012, FPSO will be among Chinese companies. Unless the RMB returns to the era of 3.7, it will cost 200,000 Chinese workers a year. I'm sure I can't find the European and American workers who spend $150,000 a year.

Of course, the earlier the time, the more benefits you will get. The junior annual salary of offshore petroleum engineers in 2012 is also 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. If it is advanced to 2005, the salary of senior workers will be about 100,000 yuan... The price difference is only after the profit of central enterprises is handed over to the state. The rest can also be used for technical transformation to further improve the potential, even if occasionally some fat water flows out. It is also a controllable expenditure, which is eventually left in China.

Americans actually know that the main competitive points of FPSO are the level of engineering and labor costs. Therefore, Halliburton only conducts research and has not yet entered the market. They are service providers. Even if customers ask for FPSO, they may outsource. For the same reason, Sucheng is not very interested in engineering companies. In the final analysis, this is a labor-intensive industry, and the cost of manpower and management will be the highest. If it wants to occupy the global FPSO market. There are at least four or five million workers.

Su Cheng has no confidence in managing so many people, and neither do Americans have confidence.

Therefore, when Johnson saw that Su Cheng did be recognized by the head office, in addition to congratulations. There is no opinion either. Instead, the engineers sent by Halliburton raised their necks and drank coffee. They ignored Sioux City and didn't care about Jason, but just talked to each other. There is laughter from time to time.

"I'm sorry, they just came from China and are seconded engineers from the headquarters. The headquarters specially poached several engineers for this merger. Five people were sent from Europe this time," Jason explained.

These 12 engineers, who are young, are probably just graduates of college. The older ones are already white-haired, and there are no middle-aged people in their 40s and fifties. There are also two guys, whisky on one side and vodka on the other side, drinking happily and sleeping drunk.

Engineers need a certain amount of physical strength. If they are too young, they will have insufficient experience, and if they are too old, they will have insufficient energy. Judging from the concept of Sucheng's later life, the 12 people in front of him can be called old, weak, sick and disabled.

However, some use is better than nothing. The Chinese people have no understanding of FSSO at all. Sucheng also knows why. Even the direction of the direction has a decisive impact on the rapid construction of the joint venture plant.

He was too lazy to teach foreigners a lesson, and said quite indifferently, "They just need to work hard."

"That's for sure. Everyone is a professional person." Jason clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Guys, to introduce to you, this is Mr. Su from Dahua Industry. The joint venture between Halliburton and COSCO Shipping was promoted by Mr. Sioux City. Next, Mr. Su Cheng is also in charge of your work schedule.

Su Cheng nodded, stood up and said, "The joint venture factory of COSCO Shipping and Halliburton is located in Tian*jin. Let's go there now. Your job is to teach a group of equivalent workers. This is also what our contract requires..."

Seeing Su Cheng walking out of the door, a young man hurriedly asked, "Are you going now?" We haven't got the jet lag yet.

"It's not too late to reverse the inspection in the car." Su Cheng said something and got on the bus to wait.

In about 20 minutes, the foreigners came up sparsely. Finally, the two of them carried a drunken guy and were about to move on the car. Su Cheng blocked him and said, "Stay, you can't work if you are so drunk. Mr. Jason, please tell the headquarters to change an engineer..."

Jensen gently advised: "If you send him back, the headquarters may not be able to send someone at any time. Let's give a warning.

Su Cheng shook his head and said, "Drunken during working hours, at least dereliction of duty. After dismissing him, recruit a useful engineer. In your contract, like this situation, there is no problem with dismissal.

Jason looked at Su City in surprise. What he saw in China was all tenured employment, which was stricter than in Japan. Su Cheng thought of dismissing the employee at the first time, but he really didn't expect it.

Su Cheng winked at him and smiled, "When I was reading, they taught me that if I want to gain a foothold in a new company, dismiss the first employee who said objections, and dismiss the second one who fights injustice for him, the company's thoughts will be pure. Are American companies like this?"

Jason was stunned and turned to laugh, "When I return to the company to be a big boss, I'll try it."

The two of them spoke in front of the engineers without any consideration. The foreigner, who was originally arrogant, suddenly stopped.

In 1989, the world economy began to decline, and tenured workers often did not experience it deeply, or the economic downturn or austerity were relatively beneficial to lifelong employees. For ordinary foreign employees, the risk of losing their jobs at this time is greatly increased. During Reagan's reign and Clinton's presidency, Americans liked to fire bosses. When Bush and Bush Jr. are on the stage, ordinary workers have to think twice.

For the 11 engineers on the bus, as long as they work normally, the relatively complete contract guarantee will naturally protect them and help them despise Su Cheng and Jensen. However, if you are caught, such as drunk during working hours, whether you can keep your job depends on the attitude of Jason and Sioux City.

When it was determined that Sucheng had the ability to fire them, everyone's vision of Sucheng changed.

The bus started slowly, Su Cheng and Jason continued to sit in the front and chat, and the engineers behind also put away the canine and cigars, silently.

The car is a classic Volvo B10M in the 1980s, which is a bus model that can often be seen in Hong Kong movies. Judging from the Chinese standards of this era, the comfort is a mess. The car taken by Su Cheng and others was borrowed from Zhongyuan Shipping.

Jensen and others naturally didn't pay attention to the 1978 Volvo car. He focused on Su Cheng and said funnyly, "I thought you would be furious..."

Su Cheng joked, "What's wrong? I have a bad temper.

"Chinese people seem to value this kind of thing very much." Jason lowered his voice and smiled, "I once had a colleague who mistakenly recognized the Chinese as Japanese in the hotel and was scolded. If he asked this kind of question now, he must first ask 'Are you Chinese'..."

Su Cheng laughed and said for a while, "It's time for us to learn from Japan. In fact, there are many Japanese bosses in the United States now.

"It's not just a lot, it's countless. What did they say to buy the whole United States? Jason shook his head helplessly and said, "It seems that they can really buy it, and the government has done nothing. Some very precious works of art have now been moved back to Tokyo by the Japanese. The yen has appreciated so much. How can it rise so much?"

If it hadn't been for the evolution of history, Sucheng might have complained about the appreciation of the yen. After all, although the appreciation of a country's currency has dealt a considerable blow to the export industry, it has increased their ability to buy overseas. This purchasing power can be used not only for the purchase of consumer goods, but also for the purchase of factories, mines, companies, oil fields and works of art. In 1989, Japan bought at least $3 trillion of overseas assets before the export industry suffered losses, which is equivalent to realizing all their struggles over the past 40 years. The benefits are self-evident for ordinary people and domestic-oriented companies.

Jensen laughed with a purely chat attitude and said, "The current 11 engineers were originally sent to Japan, because the FPSO joint venture was confirmed to be in China, so they were reassigned to China."

"Oh, did you plan to have a joint venture with a Japanese company?"

"That's not true, but it's very likely to be a joint venture with a Korean company." Jason hesitated for a moment and said, "Japan's artificial rise is too strong. South Korea is not bad, and our branch in South Korea is operating very well."

Su Cheng glanced at him and smiled, "One day, the Chinese branch will grow up."

"I hope so." Jason sighed for a moment, stood up and said, "I'll talk to them. Even if you dismiss everyone, it's always troublesome to send another batch of newcomers."

"I will at least keep one person." Su Cheng blinked narrowly and said with a smile, "Someone has to keep it to spread the corporate culture."
