Chapter 186 Catch the hornet empty-handed
Su Cheng found a bunch of newspapers and pulled He Yuwei and Qin Yun, who knew English, to look for them together.
Compared with the Crown Prince of the United Arab Emirates, Halliburton's senior management has much less news.
Everyone turned over for a day and found less than a hundred pieces of information in total. Su Cheng circled with a red pen and made a few more phone calls in several important parts before calling He Yuwei and said, "You are in Houston. Do you know any big businessmen?"
"There is a Chinese businessman who is familiar with it, and then a roundabout trading partner." He Yuwei replied with embarrassment. Although their COSCO shipping business is to repair ships, if American shipowners repair ships along the Pacific coast, they usually choose South Korea or [Sun] Ben's ship repair factory. The Chinese businessmen He Yuwei knows are actually a family relationship.
Su Cheng nodded, took out a cut newspaper and said, "You can ask him to investigate. This Brown vice president seems to have the habit of playing golf. If we can find a chance to meet him at his favorite golf course, we will probably have a chance to talk.
"He usually plays on the club court." He Yuwei was afraid that Su Cheng would not understand, so she whispered, "The membership course is a golf course for membership, and no one else can enter."
"Then find a membership member to bring in, or apply for a membership by yourself." Su Cheng smiled and said, "Even if it's a membership of tens of thousands of dollars, it's cost-effective to meet President Brown."
"If there is no way, that's the only way. It's cheaper than sending money." He Yuwei nodded slightly.
She went to the Houston Daily and other media units to find several relationships. After a lot of money, I asked Brown that the golf course he often went to was Bernac, and then he went to apply for membership, but he was rejected.
The stadium did not accept her $100,000 check at all, but explained: "Brnack Stadium is a recommended membership-based stadium. If you want to join our stadium, you must be recommended by three existing members. After one year of preparation, you can only join the stadium after getting more than two-thirds of the approval vote.
In this case. It's useless for He Yuwei to pay for it.
After being rejected by the manager twice, He Yuwei scolded angrily: "You think this is joining the party!" It's not so troublesome for me to join the Party.
The manager couldn't understand [Chinese] Chinese and said to himself, "I'm sorry. As long as you find the recommendation of three existing members, I will handle the procedure for you immediately.
He Yuwei's anger is also useless.
She tried to stop Brown outside the court, but was stunned by several roads in front of her, and the other party's driving car blocked the road quite **.
To some extent, the executives of this kind of resource-based multinational enterprise pay the most attention to personal safety. God knows who the company will offend in the process of developing business abroad.
He Yuwei really had no choice but to ask someone to bring herself in at a high price.
The price goes all the way to $110,000, that is, the price of more than $10,000 a year, so that an unlucky securities manager is willing to take the risk of giving up his membership. Take two people into...
In this way, Su Cheng and He Yuwei waited for the news that Brown was coming to play golf, and then pulled up the securities manager and immediately rushed to the court to ask where Brown was. When you get on the golf cart, it bumps away.
Su Cheng finally has a chance to play his talent.
I saw the steering wheel swing left and right, running on the hills and drifting on the green grass. Although it moves frequently, the golf cart is also jumping up and down. But He Yuwei couldn't feel uncomfortable. All she could think about was the next meeting.
The securities manager next to him vomited.
Su Cheng looked at He Yuwei and said with satisfaction, "When I drive, I always meet some people who are carsick. You're good. You climbed a lot when I was a child. Children should crawl more, otherwise the ear is not fully developed, and it is easy to get carsick.
He Yuwei didn't listen to him at all. She stared at the front and suddenly asked, "How are you going to convince Brown? Oh, my God, I forgot what to say when I meet Brown. What should I do?
He Yuwei herself is messy.
Su Cheng spread out his hand and said, "Just tell the truth. We have put forward a plan that is beneficial to Halliburton. With a little more persuasiveness, President Brown will want to talk to us."
"But Brown is hiding from me..."
"It shows that he was influenced by Jason. It shows that he is a person who is easily influenced by people. Su Cheng's hand waved in the air.
He Yuwei looked at Su Cheng's hands waving in the air, looked at the steering wheel, looked at Su Cheng's hands, and looked at the steering wheel, and suddenly asked, "Aren't you driving?"
"Oh, I forgot, but I didn't deviate from the direction."
The securities manager looked up and suddenly vomited even more.
The golf cart drove through the grass, leaving a long string of light yellow semi-solidified bodies. After a while, the human body fell on the grass.
Sitting under the wet tree, the securities manager was full of joy for the rest of his life and cried with joy!
Su Cheng drove a golf cart, climbed up a green, and then rushed straight to the combination of the three old men.
Although several bodyguards in the distance ran over, Su Cheng and He Yuwei stretched out their hands to signal that they had no weapons. They put their hands on their waists and did not pull out the gun after all.
In front of Brown, Su Cheng jumped off the golf cart.
Brown is a tall Caucasian, with a high nose and deep eyes, and light yellow eyebrows. He stared at Su Cheng and He Yuwei with eagle-like eyes.
Su Cheng thought that he probably guessed the identity of himself and He Yuwei. After all, in the past few days, his bodyguard has blocked the yellow man from approaching more than once.
Unexpectedly, Brown did not wait for Su Cheng to speak first, but said directly, "Young man, I don't want to talk to you. The conversation is not good for you, only bad, and the same is true for Halliburton..."
"You are worried that rejecting us will affect Halliburton's business in [China] country, right?" Su Cheng raised his voice in English.
Brown looked at him without any expression.
Su Cheng smiled, pointed to the bodyguards around him, and said, "President Brown, since we have met, you can only listen to us say that it will not affect the business of [Zhongzhong]..."
Brown reached out to stop the bodyguard and said, "Threat can't be done."
"Of course." Su Cheng patted He Yuwei's arm and comforted her. At the same time, he reorganized his mood and asked, "President Brown, I once watched an interview program. You mentioned that the most proud thing in your life was the Iranian oil field that was bid for in 1973. Do you remember the process?
Brown said proudly, "Of course I remember."
"Let me think about it. Only when Halliburton helped Union Oil bid successfully at that time could he get rid of the debt group led by the bank and carry out business restructuring. That was a rebirth of Halliburton." Su Cheng turned around, but said, "As the most powerful [from] large oil company in the world, you have received a lot of preferential treatment, right?"
Brown was immersed in the meeting when he heard Su Cheng's words and snorted heavily.
His friend put down the mineral water bottle in his mouth and said, "Young man, in the Middle East in the 1970s, the strongest is the United Kingdom. The bidding of American enterprises in the Middle East will be subject to strong interference. Moreover, countries like France, Italy and [Japan] are not worry-free, and there are always a lot of off-site tricks. Bidding for oil fields is like a war. There is no battle to win.
"I know." Su Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
Brown "hummed" and said, "What do you know!"
"I know the hardships of bidding for oil fields." Su Cheng's eyes did not give up at all. He stared at Brown's blue eyes and said, "Just last year, I led Dahua Industry, an enterprise under my name, to successfully bid for the Sultan Oil Field in the United Arab Emirates. I have the honor to tell you that the scale of Dahua Industry is only one percent Halliburton. [China] The strength of the country in the Middle East is not only not as strong as Britain, but also as the United States, Italy, France, and [Day] Ben... But we won.
Brown said, "Are you Su from Dahua Industry?"
There are fewer and fewer oil fields in the Middle East, and often no oilfield enters the market in a year. [China] The Chinese company has invaded the Middle East oil barrel, which may have a greater shock to American companies than the Chinese company. In 1989, the Chinese people in the midst of inflation thought that the fuel price had nothing to do with me if I didn't take the car...
Only ordinary people in the country on tires will understand the importance of oil.
Su Cheng nodded slowly and said, "President Brown, we are all people who have bid for the oil field, and we also know the difficulties. The winner will never be the richest, the most powerful, or the deepest network. Only the most persistent person, only the smartest person, and only the person who is best at using resources can finally bid for the oil field..."
He took a different breath, pointed to He Yuwei and said, "As you did that day, Dahua Industry decided to help COSCO Shipping, which is also a huge strategic decision. We firmly believe that COSCO Shipping is a company with great potential and amazing returns. We will stick to it until the end until we find an excellent joint venture for COSCO Shipping. However, as the first choice, I hope that President Brown will promote the merger of Halliburton and COSCO Shipping!"
Brown understood for a moment, and then said, "I don't know this company. The joint venture with [China] Corporation will also change Halliburton's strategic decision."
"At least you know about Dahua Industry." Su Cheng's confidence doubled and said, "We are a company that invests in oil fields. In our eyes, COSCO Shipping is a [Zhongzhong] Guofu Mine for initial exploration. Give them the FPSO business. In 20 years, Halliburton will own another Iranian oil field!"
"So sure?" Brown smiled, and his eagle-like eyes disappeared.
"Yes." Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief before he began to introduce COSCO Shipping itself.
He Yuwei looked at Su Cheng with an extremely worshipful expression, just like watching the eldest brother perform the unique skill of catching wasps empty-handed when she was 5 years old.
