Chapter 357 Homogeneous Opponents

The three of them have the unique reserve and pretentiousness of Asians. They got off the helicopter, with a pilot in the front and an attendant in the back. They hesitated to move their footsteps, only the loess pad the way, and the water was splashed on the street.

They all wear fur coats and wrap themselves like fur animals in the cold Siberia. In addition to the leader showing a face, the two people behind not only have scarves on their necks, but also earmuffs on their ears, glasses in front of their eyes, and fingerless gloves that are as thick as possible.

Qin Shiwei and other technicians don't care who comes and who goes. They are carefully observing the data parameters on the computer. Su Cheng, Shamir and others naturally turned their heads and watched them come.

"Chairman Su Cheng?" The Asian standing on the left side of the back row shouted in special Chinese, and the leader stretched out his arm from afar and bent down to shake hands with Su Cheng.

The other party's posture was so low that Su Cheng's expectation was that he stretched out his right hand and gently shook it.

When it was close, Su Cheng could recognize it. The leader was obviously a Japanese, and the two people behind him were a little confused.

It is not surprising to see Japan in Russia. The Anda line that China hoped to get was eventually replaced by the Japanese Ana line. As a Japanese consortium, it has become a tradition for the world to buy oil fields and extract oil. They do not have oil in their own countries and need oil, so they adopt the mode of oil recovery and return to China. In addition, Japan is also one of the world's heavyweight oil technology providers, which is no less than Britain in oil extraction and smelting technology.

"Which company are you from?" Su Cheng didn't mean to be polite and asked condescending. No matter what the next competition is. The Soller oil field has been taken by Dahua Industry, and the Japanese came here to his territory.

"I'm Nobushige Ito of Ito Trading Company."

"Ito Trading Company?" Su Cheng's tone was slightly improved.

"Yes. I once bought shallow sea oil technology from Dahua Industry, and also participated in the bidding for the Sertan oil field in the United Arab Emirates. Before I went out, I was told by Vice President Takanobu Ito to respect Chairman Su Cheng. Vice President Takanobu Ito said that Su Dong was the one he had seen. The most resilient and best business talent..." Ito Nobushige said compliments, and his eyes paid attention to Su Cheng's expression with the afterglow. Seeing that he looked at ease, he couldn't help but despise him. He suddenly pointed to the Asian on the right side of his left hand. He laughed and said, "Please allow me to introduce you. This is Mr. Li Zhengfu of Xinma Petroleum Company."

Su Cheng frowned as he expected and asked, "New Malaysia Petroleum Company?"

"Petroleum companies in Singapore and Malaysia. It is a newly established joint venture with national assets of Singapore and Malaysia. Ito Nobuo smiled and said, "New Malaysia has $25 billion in assets and a series of new oil production and refining technologies. Our Ito Trading Company has signed an agreement with New Malaysia to jointly develop the Siberian market."

This is the obvious car and horse grabbing the market. Su Cheng knew that his cruel words were all idle at this time, so he said lightly, "In that case. I wish you all the best in your business."

It's a lie to say don't worry. Singapore and Malaysia are typical Asian countries. Although their labor costs are higher than those in China, the average productivity of workers is also higher than that in China. If labor and average productivity are taken into account, their labor costs may be lower than those in China in the 1990s. This is the core combat effectiveness of Asian countries in the process of the rise of the four Asian dragons. With the passage of time. Workers' wages are getting higher and higher, and the average productivity of workers has not increased, which has brought the increase to a standstill.

But in the early 1990s, Singapore and Malaysia had absolute cost advantages. Especially in countries such as Singapore and Malaysia, unlike European and American countries, which have strict and boring labor protection, in the case of abundant funds. The production progress can be very fast. At the same time, their main workers are not inferior to the technical and educational level of European and American countries.

In the battle to attract investment in Asia in the 1990s, Singapore's combat effectiveness was the strongest. A good geographical location has created a global petrochemical base, which in turn has nurtured generations of skilled workers.

Whether it is technology, manpower or cost performance. Before 1997, the four Asian dragons all had the strength to challenge Chinese enterprises. It can be said that the financial crisis in 1997 solved the problem of snoring people on the side of the couch for China.

Before that, Su Cheng had to face the challenges of these Asian companies of the same type. Even if Dahua Industry is fighting at home, there will be a big chance to win. If you compete for an order in Russia, it is hard to say who will win or lose.

Li Zhengfu of Xinma Company took off his glasses, pointed to the operation room, and asked, "Is it okay?"

Su Cheng nodded and said, "We have separated a visiting room. Please don't disturb the staff inside."

There are usually various electronic instruments in the drilling operation room in the field, so try to provide a better environment. However, except for the unconventional equipment of a few countries, most of them are replaced by movable board houses or camping houses, and Dahua's is no exception. It consists of three container-sized camping houses. After a little reinforcement and wind-proof measures have been taken, all kinds of electronic equipment have been moved in.

Ito Nobushige and Li Zhengfu raised their heads and walked in, no longer seeing the appropriate humility.

The partitioned visiting room is very small, but facing a large piece of glass, you can see the scene clearly inside.

At the first sight of Dahua's computer, Li Zhengfu grinned his teeth and deliberately shouted in English, "It's not easy for Dahua's equipment to reach the level of the early 1980s. Many of our equipment operators may not have seen this model.

"We focus on the efficiency of oil production and saving money for users." Su Cheng glanced at Ito Nobushige and said, "If you just spend money to buy equipment, I don't think customers need technical service companies. What we do is to save money for customers on the premise of achieving the goal.

"I heard that Dahua Industry provides financing. Is it possible that Dahua's funds are limited and can't help customers finance more funds?" Li Zhengfu is obviously an offensive route, and he has probably designed all kinds of rhetoric for a long time.

Su Cheng was not annoyed and said calmly, "There is a banking group of six banks behind Dahua. If necessary, I can also unite with two state-owned oil companies in China to participate in the construction project together, and even reach the turnkey project. In fact, the more customer financing, the more money Dahua earns. We try our best to reduce the development cost, which is also to reduce the pressure on customers. Dahua is not to make money, but to ignore the black-hearted trading company that ignores the customer's capital chain.

"

He is dealing with Russian users, so there is no need to talk about state-owned enterprises.

In so-called democracies such as Latin America or Africa, state-owned enterprises will more or less cause some doubts. But in Russia, a country that has just experienced the collapse of the Soviet Union, state-owned enterprises are still more popular than private enterprises.

In fact, at the moment of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russians felt pain. While losing the status of an international power and falling into economic difficulties, it also gives the people a deeper understanding of national dignity. Even the Russian financial oligarchs who benefited from the collapse of the Soviet Union were still full of regret when talking about the Soviet Union. Putin once quoted a sentence: "Whoever does not regret the collapse of the Soviet Union has no conscience; whoever wants to restore the former Soviet Union has no brain."

When Sucheng talked about two state-owned oil companies, he saw Russians nodding gently.

When Li Zhengfu was about to say something else, Ito Nobushige grabbed him and said a string of words in Japanese.

The translator immediately said in Russian: "For oil fields of the size of Skoller, Japan can provide a three-year loan of 50 billion yen and provide a one-stop service from mining to sales."

50 billion yen is about 400 million US dollars, and no matter what equipment is used, it is enough to develop the Skoller oil field. Although the appreciation of the yen has put unparalleled pressure on Japan's domestic exports, it has brought considerable convenience to Japan's acquisition of overseas assets.

If the price of the yen was low in 1985, Ito Trading Co., Ltd. had to pay 100 billion yen to exchange it for 400 million US dollars. Now it only costs 50 billion yen, which saves half of it, and also greatly increases the financial competitiveness of Japanese commercial companies.

In terms of financial strength, especially foreign exchange strength, Ito Trading Co., Ltd., the world's top 500, has more money than all China's oil companies. Nobu Ito held his head high and was completely different from Shicai.

Su Cheng did not take a step back and mocked, "Ito Trading Co., Ltd. may spend 400 million US dollars to develop the Skoller oil field, and only 50 million is enough for Dahua Industry. Japanese companies are really profitable.

Japanese enterprises in the 1990s were the most concerned time in the world. Their corporate culture and business model were also used as examples of lectures in business schools in many countries around the world. The high profits harvested by Japanese trading companies have always been the envy of European and American companies.

Ito Nobushige was not in a hurry to speak. He bowed his head and asked Li Zhengfu, "Can you use 50 million US dollars to develop the Schiller oil field?"

In fact, this question is not only asked by Nobuaki Ito, but also other Russians.

There is no doubt that if the Japanese consortium can provide more financing and build oil fields at a lower cost, it will naturally be their first choice.

Li Zhengfu did not answer immediately. He turned around and whispered to his colleague.

Although they have done cost analysis of the Schiller oil field, they obviously do not regard $50 million as a node.

Two minutes later, Li Zhengfu said happily, "If the customer needs it, we promise to develop the Skoller oil field within 50 million US dollars."

"The oilfield of preliminary exploration will produce oil within half a year. Unexplored oil fields, exploration within half a year, oil production within one year? Can you do it too? Su Cheng said gently.

Li Zhengfu looked back to discuss, and then quietly. He actually wanted to ask Su Cheng, "Can you really do it?"

In the end, he didn't ask.

Su Cheng also gently wiped his sweat and thought to himself that it was often the most troublesome to meet homogeneous competitors.
