Chapter 176 Lakeside Factory

The so-called "mobile land" in Sucheng has also been officially recognized and is popular in major newspapers and magazines, which has heated up the entire Shengli Oilfield. In the spring of the year, many people talked about prices and commodities the most, the maritime platform was the one they talked about.

On the third day, the simple platform first drifted out oil, adding fire to the celebrations on the shore.

On the night of oil production, Simon took the excuse to go to another simple drilling platform.

The buzzing motor sound can be heard from a distance. Although it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, the workers had no intention of resting at all. They were all busy on the platform. Unlike the fully automated drilling platform abroad, the equipment designed by Dahua Laboratory has a lot of manual parts, including sluice gates, oil drainage, pressure change, etc., and all have to run up and down. For workers, they are almost always busy, and the number of people and workload on the platform exceeds similar products from abroad.

The translator grabbed the boat gang and sighed: "If I work on such a good platform, I will buy a fishing rod and fish every day. I will get a few more books to read."

"The drilling platform is very bitter. You will know when you go up." Simon said, but he couldn't even look at the drilling platform. Instead, he kept traveling on the sea.

The closer the ship drove, the more focused Simon's attention was. Later, almost half of his body leaned outside.

"What are you looking for?" The translator had to go over and hold him.

“Oil Trace.”

"Not that?" The translator pointed to the dark sea water ahead. When the oil first came out, some crude oil always leaked out, and it really entered the mining state, but there was no crude oil. The so-called drop of oil did not go into the sea, which was the oil production stage.

Simon looked at the time and shook his head and said, "It's only 2 hours, too little."

“Too few?”

"The oil-track walk is regular." Simon said this, then put on a diving glasses, carefully tied a rope from the boat gang around his waist, and said, "I want to go down and take a look. I pulled the rope three times and pulled me up."

Before he could answer, he pinched his nose and sat down into the sea with a "splash". The cable quickly slid into the sea with a "swish" sound, and soon disappeared without a trace.

The translator silly looked at the cables of the boat and the cables that disappeared on the sea...

The fisherman who drove the boat said quietly: "The cable is broken. I haven't had time to change it."

When Simon was fished out, his whole body shook, like a hair-lossing penguin, swaying around. The translator gave him a towel and put on a blanket.

The fisherman uncle silently shook the sea water, untied the cables around his waist, and hung them on the beam of the boat. He pulled a flower, like a hanging rope.

Simon stared blankly at the broken edge of the cable and said, "Your anti-leakage system has been world-class, so can't you buy a better rope?"

The fisherman uncle couldn't understand what he was saying, so he smiled honestly twice, took off his shirt, revealing his red and dark upper body, and his muscles were full of strength.

Simon coughed twice and laughed again: "The rope looks pretty good."

The translator looked helpless on the side and thought to himself: How can he understand what you are saying?

When she arrived at the shore, Simon hurriedly jumped off the boat and shouted to Jansen who had been waiting there: "You are right, the oil trace is only one-third of the normal level at most."

"I just said that the director of Sucheng is the most powerful Chinese I have ever met. His eyes that day were obviously of secret weapons. He said that he would not go into the sea. He must have skills when drilling wells." Jensen joked in English, saying, "This is our partner of Halliburton. Fenoer can understand our choice now. Dahua Industrial is in China. It is a very powerful company. We bought several of their patent rights. They sold very well."

"Well, if Halliburton could buy this anti-leakage patent, our Fernor Shipping Company would be willing to buy the usage fee. The environmental standards in Europe are getting higher and higher, and the requirements in South America are not low." Fernor Shipping, where Simon is located, is not a big company, but a typical German medium-sized enterprise. They often master some key technologies, hire high-paying engineering and technicians and researchers, and focus on continuously developing new technologies in a certain field. But for other affiliated technologies, they often purchase the usage fee with the least amount of money, and do not directly purchase the patent.

Halliburton is a typical American behemoth. He likes to set standards and continuously expand with capital operations. Purchasing patents is common, and buying a company is also common. Simon advises Jensen to buy it for convenience when using it.

Jansen unexpectedly rejected it and said: "Dahua Industrial is a bit like you. They are not big in scale and rarely sell patents, but only sell the right to use."

"What a pity." Simon shook his head again, "It's a bit of a waste. Such a good technology is used on such a simple platform. How big is that thing and it can produce oil. Do you see the oil pipes they use? They are modified with ordinary land oil pipes and directly pass through the land, which cannot be simpler."

"They will build a large drilling platform soon." Jansen was in a good mood and was quite maintenance-oriented. Dahua Industrial started building a drilling platform and had to outsource various technologies and equipment. The key equipment was purchased from Halliburton in large quantities, greatly increasing their sales in mainland China.

Simon said unwillingly: "With their current foundation, it will take two years to build a large drilling platform? I really don't know what the nobles in Abu Dhabi are thinking..."

Jansen smiled and said, "Business has started."

Simon was startled and said, "How is it possible? Do they not design?"

"I heard that the design has been completed long ago and the factory has entered production. Should I go and see it?"

Simon nodded immediately. He himself graduated from a bachelor's degree in engineering and had been working in engineering technology for almost 20 years before he switched to management and sales. He has not left the technology behind now.

The two agreed to go back to the hotel to rest separately. When they encountered a bonfire party on the road, they saw that the celebration was still continuing. There was no entertainment activity in the new oil field. It was so easy to catch the opportunity, so how could everyone miss it? Moreover, the first drilling of the experimental drilling platform is indeed a good thing worth celebrating.

Simon suddenly felt a little envious, looking at the workers in the era of large industrialization, but said: "The era of rapid growth is indeed the happiest era."

"Halliburton estimates that at most 15 years, mainland China will be our most important sales area in Asia. You, Fenoer Shipping Industry, should also consider the future increase..."

Simon asked alertly: "Does Halliburton interfere in China's offshore oil industry?"

Jensen didn't talk about it anymore.

...

Jinan Power Machine Factory.

Jansen and Simon changed their signs and walked into the factory. Chen Zunian gave them an office guide to prevent them from going to the wrong place because they were foreigners.

The 4,000 acres of land have been re-leveled and planned. The wide depth is endless. The wide road has 8 lanes, and at this time, only a few bicycles pass by alone.

There were thick and large trees that were everywhere since the beginning of the factory construction, including deciduous trees that were plucking branches and lush and plump cypresses.

Bypassing a small wood, you can see that it is an artificial lake with rippling waves. Green lotus leaves float in the lake and move lightly with the wind. At the edge of the lake are wooden boards and gravel roads. There are small bridges and flowing water introduced, bamboo forests and elegant pavilions, built like Suzhou gardens.

The workshop is built around the lake like a decoration by the lake.

Simon's eyes were straightened by the factory model from the 21st century. Jansen was also stunned, looking at the lush woods ahead and the rest chairs below, and couldn't help but say: "It's like transplanting Central Park in New York."

The office staff smiled without saying a word and took them around the lake. After listening to a string of praise, they pointed to the red brick factory in front of them and said, "There is workshop 4 there, and Director Su is inside."

"In the workshop?" Jansen said unaccustomedly: "What does Mr. Su do in the workshop?"

"It's just about doing things that ordinary workers do. You can see it when you go." The staff helped them inform them inward before leaving.

Jansen and Simon entered the factory in a daze and saw Su Cheng operating a cutting machine, splashing sparks all over the ground.

The workers around each perform their duties and are very busy.

Jensen and Simon are both professionals and can see the process at a glance.

Simon said in surprise: "The single piece prefabricated has arrived, the inspection and testing procedures have been completed? The material processing has also been completed? Did they do it simultaneously?"

"The processing design is likely to be synchronous. The 35-meter platform can be directly tested. They may have made the current small platform in order to get data and experience first." Jansen estimated, and also stared at Sucheng.

The work in the factory, even the work of pressing buttons, is not really easy. In short, it is all about using the body. In order to play an example, Su Cheng even wore a full set of labor protection clothes and sweated heavily.

This is completely different from Sioux City, which Jansen is familiar with.

In Jameson's eyes, Sucheng almost looks like a governor or presidential candidate: he always has a gentle smile on his face, he is not far away or close to others, and when he is involved in his own interests, he fights extremely fiercely. But in the final analysis, Sucheng still looks like an office person.

However, Su Cheng is now like a pure worker, with a firm expression and a focused look...

Jansen thought to himself: If this is a show, Su Cheng can really run for president.

"Who are you looking for?" Li Huanxiang spoke Chinese English and looked at the other party vigilantly. The current workshop of Jinan Power Machinery Factory is similar to the workshop of Shengli Machinery Factory 3. It is full of large batches of new machinery. The difference is that the machinery is of better quality and there are also a small number of imported models.

In Li Huanxiang's eyes, this place is like a paradise, or half of the heavenly court. In the past, Dahua Industry had the components of a state-owned enterprise, and even had to pay for a small amount of foreign exchange. Now, with the guise of the Abu Dhabi oil field, spending its own foreign exchange without any psychological pressure. The machinery inside cannot be called the world's top, at least China's top.

Li Huanxiang stood in front, looked at them with the look of looking at the spy, and repeated: "Who are you looking for?"

Jensen pointed carefully at Su Cheng and introduced himself: "We have met, I am Jensen of Halliburton."

"The foreigners are all the same." Li Huanxiang muttered, gathered his hands together, and shouted: "Dr. Su, someone is looking for him."

It was only after someone else reminded that Su Cheng turned his head.

His face was covered in black and gray, and his white teeth were smiling.
