Chapter 214 Maintenance

The ventilation fan over the exhibition hall is blowing.

English and Arabic are also all kinds of wow. The traditional top 500 petrochemical enterprises have Arab branches, sending Arabic translators, and even Arab engineers.

Dahua Industry does not have such a condition. It can only be charged in English, so that the customer needs to understand English by himself, or bring an English translation and a three-way translation.

Su Cheng felt that Chai Wei had the intention of making a beauty trick, but if she observed carefully, she felt that her action language was normal.

While he woke up secretly, he smiled and said, "There is always a little nervousness, especially when you can't figure out the details of your opponent."

Chai Wei smiled gently twice and said, "Does Su Dong regard me as an opponent? We can be mutually beneficial and achieve our respective goals.

"I don't know you well. How can we talk about mutual benefit? We'd better do our own things and not interfere with each other." When Su Cheng heard that she was involved in cooperation, he suddenly became a big deal.

"Do you want to sell more offshore drilling platforms? I heard that the price of this thing is about the same as that of a ship.

"You're talking about a complete set of offshore drilling platforms. The price of the drilling platform is high. It does not mean that it can be sold. There are a series of details to talk about. In addition, our Dahua Industry's offshore oil equipment is not well-known. It is better to accumulate for two years and then enter the world market.

This sentence is insincere, but he just doesn't trust Chai Wei. No matter what department it is in China, no matter how powerful it is, it can't control foreign countries. The tens of millions of dollars of drilling platforms can be decided in a few words. Diab refers to the oil power of the United Arab Emirates. Talking as a representative of the crown prince, Su Cheng didn't think that Chai Wei could reach this level.

Chai Wei saw Su Cheng's distrust, squinted and smiled, and said, "I can't let you suffer too much. That's it. As a thank you, I would like to introduce a list to you, but. Whether you can scoop it up or not, there is indeed a series of details to talk about, and whether you can talk about it. It depends on your ability.

When she talked like this, she looked a little old-fashioned.

However, wait for the person she invited to appear. And he said, "This is Nasr Latia. Su Cheng was really surprised when he was the representative of aramco.

Representative of Saudi National Petroleum Corporation!

For the world's major oil companies, Saudi National Petroleum Corporation is definitely a crown-level high-quality customer. There are so many oil resources in their name that they don't care about spending money at all... The best oil exploration equipment in the world, as well as petroleum refining equipment, are sold to Saudi Arabia.

aramco is also the only oil company in Saudi Arabia, with the entire Saudi oil resources, and the largest shareholder is the King of Saudi Arabia. Since the 1980s, after Saudi Arabia recovered all its oil rights from American companies, their control over oil has become increasingly strict. Profits are also rising. Oil companies that can't extract oil from Saudi Arabia regard the sale of oil equipment as the only way to make money...

Even in the city of Sioux, it was not expected that a representative of Saudi National Petroleum Corporation would come to visit.

Chai Wei winked at him and introduced, "Let's talk about it. I hope we can have a good cooperation in the future.

"In the future?"

"We have contacted Mr. Diab." Chai Wei made a gesture to make a phone call.

Only then did Su Cheng think of it. I called Diab's cover number in the conference hall of the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade. If they pay a little attention, they can really contact Diab directly.

In this way, Sioux City was relieved and took the initiative to ask the Saudis, "Mr. Nasr, what do you need?"

"We have a semi-submersible offshore drilling platform damaged. It needs to be repaired. The translator around Nasr answered in different Chinese.

The five people in their group are all wearing traditional white robes, turbans, and gold-rimmed cloaks, which not only have a luxurious atmosphere, but also solemn and mysterious.

"Repair? Is it a major overhaul? Why not give it to the shipyard that produces it? Su Cheng frowned strangely. The technical content of the semi-submersible offshore drilling platform is not weak, and it is inevitable that there are some technical patents of production and R&D enterprises. If it is maintained by other companies, it will be difficult.

Nasr said softly, and his translator said, "The reason for scheduling. We hope that the platform can be repaired on the spot, preferably in the Persian Gulf.

Su Cheng's eyelids jumped and said, "We don't have a shipyard in the Persian Gulf."

"The platform has been dragged to the port of Jeddah."

This project is actually a little bit of chicken ribs. Especially for Dahua Industry, which has ordinary technical strength, it is not easy to repair a semi-submersible offshore drilling platform, which takes a lot of time and energy. As far as the project itself is concerned, it is definitely not cost-effective.

What are the benefits, that is, to learn about the third-generation semi-submersible offshore drilling platform on the spot.

And you can take it apart to play.

Su Cheng looked up at Chai Wei. The latter smiled innocently and said, "In a word, if you can do it, it's also a good business, right? I wish you success."

Nasr was a little impatient and said, "If you can't do it, we'll find someone else."

"Have you found anyone else before?"

"We talked to two companies and were not satisfied with the price and time." Nasr said calmly, "First of all, the price cannot exceed a quarter of the total quotation of the project, that is, 3 million US dollars, and the time cannot exceed 2 months."

The price is still good, which is indeed the demeanor of Saudi National Petroleum Company. Su Cheng then asked, "Which two companies did you consult?"

"We have signed a non-disclosure agreement, so we can't tell you the specific company. So, if you can't do it, I won't force it. Nasr didn't know what kind of benefit exchange he got. He directly gave a company the qualification to repair without going through the bidding procedures. Even in Saudi Arabia, it was against the rules.

Su Cheng thought for a while and said with a smile, "In this case, we have seen your drilling platform first."

"Of course." Nasr said vigorously, "Is it okay to leave now?"

"Now? All right." Su Cheng no longer hesitated and waved to Gu Haijian. He told everyone to set out in a few words.

The scientific and technological content of the third-generation semi-submersible drilling platform is not weak. Even if the profit is not high, it is good to learn from it.

This kind of offshore oil equipment, except for the oil-producing countries in the Persian Gulf, is like a treasure in other places. Don't let people see it when you've been idle. In CNOOC's cooperation with foreign countries, there is such an example that foreign engineers take charge of the overall situation. I am fully responsible for the maintenance and update of the equipment. Chinese engineers can't see it if they want to, and the contract also stipulates that they are not allowed to see it. Finally. At the end of oil production in Chinese waters, the shipowner pulled the ship away, changed resources for technology, and finally changed. No one can tell.

Today's OPEC is still immature, and the Gulf countries will also focus on land oil. By the end of the 1990s, when oil prices were high and the Gulf countries began to play with offshore oil equipment, whether they could get it or not, this kind of opportunity depends on the equipment. Very few.

You have to sign at least a series of contracts to see the real goods.

With a tourist mentality, Sucheng took the business plane of the Saudi National Petroleum Company and went straight to the port of Jeddah.

When I got to the place, I didn't know until I saw the rusty "Sea Diamond No. 6". This guy has been out of work for 2 years.

Nasr said freely, "The price of oil dropped in the first two years, and it happened that the lease of Sea Diamond No. 6 had arrived. If it could not be rented out for a while, it could only be stopped."

"No platform cold-stop measures have been taken?" Gu Haijian looked at the drilling platform in the dry dock and said with some heartache, "Such a good machine is here. It's too wasteful."

He didn't translate the last sentence, which left some face for his family.

Su Cheng thought to himself that for Saudi Arabia, a rich man in OPEC, what a waste of a sea drilling platform is it? It's a waste to pull out a royal son casually, and it's a waste of life.

Nasr said expectantly, "At that time, no one expected that it would stop for two years. We are now ready to restart 'Sea Diamond No. 6'. If you can put it back into the applicable state, then sign the contract.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Let's take a look first."

Nasr is really not in a hurry. He waited quietly and prepared a lot of delicious food.

Su Cheng and Gu Haijian put on their work clothes and drilled into the dilapidated offshore drilling platform. Although the two of them can't do a comprehensive inspection, if you look at some key equipment, you can still see that the platform is damaged in Chengdu.

Both of them were shocked by this examination.

The so-called damage is almost equivalent to the platform sinking into the sea and fishing again. One of the diesel engines ran for 56,000 hours without major repairs. Two of the three cranes were paralyzed, and the remaining one did not run smoothly. Another nameplate is a 1984 semi-new mud pump. The crankshaft is full of cracks, and it can't be used...

It was not until the evening that Su Cheng came down from the platform.

Nasr put away the arrogance he pretended to be in Abu Dhabi at this time and asked carefully, "How about it?"

"3 million dollars is too little. We have to make a comprehensive evaluation to know which parts need to be replaced. Now it seems that there will be a lot of parts to be replaced."

Nasr was not surprised. He smiled and said, "Then let's eat first and then talk."

Su Cheng now knew that other companies did not want to do it, and he also saw that the situation was serious.

However, this is a good opportunity for Dahua Industry.

Su Cheng did not move, but asked, "Is your budget stuck?"

"Yes." Nasr was very helpless. He

In fact, we also know that 3 million US dollars is more than enough to repair the general offshore drilling platform, but for this offshore drilling platform that has not been maintained for 2 years, it is a little insufficient.

However, Saudi National Petroleum Corporation is a large bureaucracy. Once the budget is made, the modification is beyond imagination. It is better to repair it casually.

Su Cheng was very satisfied with his answer and said, "We can take over this offshore drilling platform with a price of 3 million US dollars. However, it is impossible to use original parts. We can only replace parts made in China.

"How can that work?"

"We also provide warranty service. Even if the performance is worse than the original product, it will not be much worse." Su Cheng said, leaving another tail: "Except for us, other companies can't use 3 million US dollars to repair this big guy."
