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

However, she was very impressed by Su Cheng now. She went to investigate without saying a word.

Su Cheng thought for a while, then left the venue and went straight to Halliburton's branch.

He actually has some interest in offshore floating production and storage devices. So, it is because he has not had enough energy on the one hand, and on the other hand, the qualifications of COSCO Shipping are more suitable.

The so-called "floating offshore oil production and storage device" sounds complicated, but it is actually simple. As far as the technical conditions of the late 1980s and early 1990s were concerned, 90% of FPSOs were transformed with old tankers.

Oil tankers themselves have the ability to store oil, and floating on the sea is naturally a basic factor. The only thing that needs improvement is to make it have a certain production capacity. Either preliminary processing, or simply produce refined oil and then transport it to the consumer country, it can reduce a lot of costs. It also reduces the pressure on offshore drilling platforms.

Once this technology is developed, it becomes a competition for engineering technology. Because the technical barriers are very weak, installing petrochemical equipment on 100,000 tons or even 200,000 tons of oil tankers is indeed more difficult than on the road, but there is no essential change.

In Sucheng's impression, China's large offshore engineering companies will involve this field in three or five years at most. By 2012, FPSO will be the world of Chinese companies. Unless the RMB returns to the era of 3.7, Chinese workers who spend 200,000 yuan will definitely be able to beat European and American workers who spend 150,000 US dollars a year.

Of course, the earlier this time, the more benefits you get. In 2012, the annual salary of offshore oil engineers was 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. If it was advanced to 2005, the salary of senior workers was only about 100,000 yuan... The difference in this price, in addition to being paid to the state as a profit from central enterprises, can also be used for technological transformation and further enhance the potential. Even if some of the fertilizers occasionally flow out, it is a controllable expenditure and is finally left in China.

Americans actually know that the main competition of FPSO lies in engineering level and labor costs. Halliburton therefore only conducted research and has not entered the market yet. They are service providers. Even if customers require FPSO, they may outsource them. For the same reason, Siucheng is not very interested in engineering companies. In the final analysis, this is a labor-intensive industry, and labor and management costs will be the highest. If they want to occupy the global FPSO market, they will need at least 400,000 or 500,000 workers.

Siucheng has no confidence in managing so many people, and Americans have no confidence.

Therefore, when Jansen saw that Suecheng had indeed obtained recognition from the head office, he had no objection except congratulations. Instead, the engineers sent by Halliburton raised their necks and drank coffee, ignoring Siucheng and not caring about Jansen. He just talked to each other and laughed from time to time.

"Sorry, they just came from China and were seconded engineers from the headquarters. For this merger, the headquarters poached several engineers. Five of them were sent this time were brought from Europe," Jansen explained.

These 12 engineers, the youngest, probably only graduated from college, the older ones are already gray-haired. There is not a single middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. There are two other guys, one with whiskey and the other with vodka, and they are having a great time drinking and sleeping when they are drunk.

Engineers need a certain amount of physical strength. Too young age means insufficient experience, and too old means insufficient energy. Judging from the concept of Su Cheng in his later generations, the 12 people in front of him can be called the elderly, the weak, the sick and disabled.

However, some are better than none. The Chinese have no idea about FSSO at all, and Sucheng also knows the reason but not the reason. Even if it is directed, it will have a decisive impact on the rapid construction of the joint venture.

He was too lazy to teach foreigners a lesson, and said with a very calm attitude: "They just need to work hard."

"That's certain, everyone is a professional person." Jansen said, clapping his hands and laughing: "Everyone, let me introduce to you that this is Mr. Su of Dahua Industrial. Our joint venture between Halliburton and COSCO Shipping was promoted by Mr. Sucheng. Next, your work arrangements will also be handled by Mr. Sucheng."

Su Cheng nodded, stood up, and said, "The joint venture between COSCO Shipping and Halliburton is located in Tianjin. We will go there now. Your job is to teach a group of workers of similar level. This is also what our contract requires..."

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

"It's time to go back to inspect when I get on the bus." Su Cheng said, then got on the bus and waited.

About 20 minutes later, the foreigners came up in a scattered manner. Finally, the two of them were carrying a drunk guy and about to get into the car. Su Cheng blocked him and said, "Stay here, you can't work even if you're so drunk. Mr. Jansen, please tell the headquarters and change an engineer to come..."

Jansen advised tactfully: "If you send him back, the headquarters may not be able to send someone at any time. Just warn me."

Su Cheng shook his head and said, "Drunk during working hours, at least it is a dereliction of duty. After dismissing him, please recruit a useful engineer. In your contract, in this case, there is no problem if you dismiss it."

Jansen looked at Su Cheng in surprise. All he saw in China was lifelong employment, which was even more strict than Japan. Su Cheng thought of dismissing his employees at the first time, but he really didn't expect it.

Su Cheng blinked at him and smiled, "When I was reading, people taught me that if I wanted to gain a foothold in a new company, I would dismiss the first employee who spoke against him, and the second one who stood up for him, the thoughts in the company would be pure. Is this the case for American companies?"

Jansen was stunned when he heard this, and turned to laugh and said, "When I return to the company and become the boss, I will try it."

The two of them spoke in front of the engineers without any consideration. The former arrogant foreigner immediately stopped.

The world economy began to decline in 1989, and lifelong workers often don’t have a deep understanding, or economic downturn or tightening is relatively beneficial to lifelong workers. For ordinary foreign employees, the risk of losing their jobs is greatly increased. During Reagan’s reign and during Clinton’s coming to power, Americans like to fire their bosses. When Bush and Bush Jr. were on stage, ordinary workers had to think twice before they could do it.

For the 11 engineers on the bus, as long as they work normally, relatively complete contract guarantees will naturally protect them and help them despise Siucheng and Jansen. However, if they are caught, such as drunkenness during working hours, whether they can keep their jobs depends on the attitude of Jansen and Jansen.

When everyone's vision of Sucheng was confirmed to be able to fire them, everyone's view of Sucheng changed.

The bus started slowly, Su Cheng and Jansen continued to sit in front and chat, while the engineers behind also put away their wine pots and cigars and silently said nothing.

The car is a classic Volvo B10M from the 1980s, which is a bus model that can be seen in Hong Kong movies. Judging from the Chinese standards of this era, it is very comfortable. The car that Su Cheng and others took was borrowed from the China COSCO Shipping.

Of course, Jansen and others didn't take the 1978 Volvo car seriously. He focused all his attention on Su Cheng and said with some amusement: "I thought you would be furious..."

Su Cheng joked: "What? I have a bad temper."

"The Chinese seem to value this kind of thing very much." Jensen lowered his voice and smiled: "I once had a colleague who mistakenly regarded Chinese as Japanese in a hotel and was scolded. If he asked such a question now, he would definitely ask first, 'Are you Chinese'..."

Su Cheng laughed loudly, but after a while, he said, "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 do they say, they want to buy the entire United States." Jensen shook his head helplessly and said, "It seems that they can really buy it, and the government doesn't do anything. Some very precious works of art have been moved back to Tokyo by the Japanese. The yen has appreciated so much. How can it be so much?"

If it weren't 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 a considerable blow to the export industry, it has increased their overseas purchasing power. This purchasing power can not only be used to purchase consumer goods, but also to purchase factories, mines, companies, oil fields, and art. In 1989, Japan purchased at least 3 trillion US dollars of overseas assets before the export industry suffered losses, which is equivalent to cashing out all their efforts over the past 40 years. The benefits for ordinary people and domestic companies are self-evident.

Jansen smiled purely with a chat attitude: "The 11 engineers are originally going to be sent to Japan, but they were sent to China again because the FPSO joint venture was confirmed to be in China."

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

"That's not, but there's a high possibility of a joint venture with a Korean company." Jansen hesitated and said: "The artificial rise in Japan is too great, South Korea is not bad, and our branches in South Korea are operating very well."

Su Cheng glanced at him and smiled and said, "One day, China's branch will grow."

"I hope so." Jansen sighed for a moment, stood up and said, "I'll talk to them. Even if you fire everyone, it's always troublesome to send another group of new people."

"I will keep at least one person." Su Cheng blinked narrowly and smiled: "Someone must keep it to spread corporate culture."
