Chapter 84 Direct Supply Products

Su Cheng walked to Professor Huang, gently pulled the telegram back, and slowly put it back in the envelope, and said, "Professor Huang, you have been in the domestic oil industry for many years. Have you ever heard of Halliburton buying only patents from domestic companies, not equipment?"

Professor Huang forced a smile.

"So have you ever heard that Halliburton buys cheap machinery from domestic oil companies?"

Professor Huang laughed so uglier than crying.

"Our double donkey head oil pump was sold for $1.29 million with just one set of drawings. Haliburton bought it and could not produce more, so he could only produce 1,000 sets. Professor Huang... What do you think is this technical level? Can it reach the advanced level in China?" Su Cheng looked harmless, but he had caught a good card, but he never let go.

Two professors, Sun Wang, looked at Professor Huang with sympathy and thought to himself: It turned out that Halliburton bought their patent. Fortunately, he didn't say anything, so forget it, cover his head and eat the food.

So, they started the banquet with concentration as if they hadn't heard others talking. Now it is the time to make "missiles are worse than sell tea eggs", and only the time for the awards at the end of the year can the professors eat some good food.

Professor Huang spent half a day of absentia, and finally defeated Su Cheng's stern eyes and said, "It can reach the advanced level in China."

Su Cheng sighed, but said, "When you say you don't look at our designs when you don't reach it, you don't look at our designs when you say you don't look at our designs when you reach it..."

Professor Huang was so angry that he almost burst into tears: I'm surrendering, what are you going to do?

Su Cheng looked at the two professors Sun Wang and asked, "What do you two think?"

Professor Sun shook his mouth and said calmly: "Since you can sell the patent to Halliburton, it means that it is at least a world-class design. There is no problem with domestic advancedness."

He had no nerve to say that Halliburton had more experts than theirs.

Professor Wang also smiled and said, "It seems to be one of the few excellent designs in China."

Being a scholar is different from being an official. It is necessary to have a degree of inverting black and white. After all, real data and experiments can prove it. In the domestic academic community, advocating foreign countries is inevitable and inevitable. In the era when translating a foreign paper and re-doing a foreign experiment, it is possible to enter a journal. Dahua Industrial’s patent was sold to the world’s largest oil technology service provider. The meaning here is clear.

If Professor Huang is a stubborn duck, he will be happy now. When others go out to promote it, they will definitely become a stubborn duck. Don’t even think about any academic dream. Sun and Wang don’t care. They did not comment on the design of Dahua Industrial before, and now they say nothing is embarrassing.

After getting the confirmed answers from the three professors, Su Cheng smiled faintly, put the envelope into his top pocket, and said with a smile: "If nothing is wrong, then I will go back first, Director Xu. Thank you."

Xiaopang shook his butt, passed by Xu Fuyou, and snorted heavily.

Xu Fuyou was unaware of anything, and his mind was full of "Director Xu, thank you!". There is no doubt that due to his "help", the three professors were in the expert group. Naturally, it was unquestionable that Dahua Industrial won one or two "Science Achievement Awards". During the time when various gods show off, he really helped others save time and energy.

Professor Huang said "ah" and started drinking a muffled wine.

Professor Wang laughed secretly, ate two bites of the dish, and stood up and said, "Director Xu, if nothing is wrong, I will leave first."

"Let's go." Xu Fuyou had nothing to say.

Professor Huang was in a bad mood. He squinted his eyes and said, "Lao Wang, you are not authentic, you are asked to help me, see what you have done."

"I didn't get the money." Professor Wang was still unhappy. He hummed twice and said disdainfully: "I'm here to accompany you, the clay-sculpted Bodhisattva, but the river."

Professor Sun shared the same hatred for the enemy, chewing the fragrant pot meat, and said with a smile: "Old Huang, I will meet a ghost after walking too much at night. I think you will still think about your own affairs."

The intellectual is timid. He and Professor Wang never dare to take other people's money, at most they only eat some food and get some. Professor Huang is a bold master and often implicitly mocks them like them. Now that they have fallen into the pit, they can't help but gloat.

After saying a few words, Wang Sun and the others left. Professor Huang was left and drank sips after sip, which made Xu Fuyou angry.

"Old Huang, go."

“Where to go?”

"Go home." Xu Fuyou and Lao Huang are quite familiar with each other. They have been drinking and meat friends for several years. He has been doing all the awards and other things in recent years through Professor Huang.

Drinking in a state of silence, Lao Huang laughed drunk and said, "I have no place to go back. Oh, it's almost the same to go back to my hometown."

"Don't talk nonsense." Xu Fuyou also hoped that he would help him contact the academic community. In a professional ministries like the Ministry of Petroleum, if there were few experts and professors who could speak, it would be difficult to make the voice louder.

But Old Huang was already full of decadence, smiled foolishly, and shook his head and said, "I am embarrassed today... I am embarrassed..."

Seeing him staggeringly leaving, Xu Fuyou was both angry and anxious, and he had no choice but to do anything.

...

When Sucheng returned to the hotel, he called Dahua Industrial on the outside line. He was about to arrive at the phone number left by Halliburton, and then he dialed it again and transferred it layer by layer before he could get it connected.

He turned on the hands-free phone call and made a "beep..." sound, and the foreigner's "hello" came from it.

Director Huo and Qin Yun stared at each other with breath and lay on both sides of the phone.

Su Cheng hesitated for a moment before saying in English: "I am Su Cheng, deputy director of China Dahua Industrial. I received your telegram and wanted to purchase a new batch of patents for the double donkey-headed oil harvester."

"Please wait, I'll turn it over for you." The other party covered the phone, and for a while, a "beep" sound was made on the phone again.

Director Huo stared at him: "Has he died?"

"Just transfer." Su Cheng had just explained, and another voice came from the phone.

The other party was much more happy this time and shouted: "Mr. Su, are you Mr. Su Cheng?"

"Yes."

"I am Jensen, who succeeds Farrell, on behalf of Halliburton, and I hope to purchase you another patent for 1,000 sets of double donkey head oil harvesters."

Qin Yun translated Chinese with paper and pen to show Director Huo. The latter was happy and happy.

Sucheng said "Oh" and asked, "Where has Farrell been?"

Jansen naturally didn't know that Farrell had offended them. He smiled apologetically: "He resigned to the company for some reason."

Halliburton is the best company in the industry. Resigning in this economic environment is a bit like that stupid guy.

Su Cheng thought without sympathy and chuckled: "There is no problem with the patent authorization of 1,000 sets of oil harvesters. In terms of price, it used to be $1,299, so how about reducing it to $1,290."

"I just want to talk to you about this. Because it is the second time I have purchased a patent, our company hopes to have a lower purchase price, such as below $500."

"Are you under great financial pressure?"

"Of course not."

"If this happens, it will be difficult for us to reduce it by half at once."

"Mr. Su must consider it. The company has given me strict restrictions. You know, we are a technical service company, and the cost is too high and will make customers dissatisfied..."

"Maybe I can provide another solution." Su Cheng had an idea when he was calling. He calmly suggested: "We can produce a thousand sets of double donkey-headed oil harvesters for you, and the landed price of each set is $3,499. In this way, you can save a certain amount of expenses and we cannot lose too much profit."

“That is, will we provide our products directly?”

"Yes." Su Cheng couldn't help laughing when he remembered what he said to Professor Huang. Indeed, there are very few companies in China that only sell patents but not equipment, because China's labor costs and manufacturing costs are so low. Basically, companies that are willing to work as long as they are given US dollars, and companies that are willing to pay for patent fees are willing to pay for equipment.

Jansen said "Wait a minute" and began to translate the information.

After a while, he bargained again: "If it can be reduced to less than US$3,000, purchase it according to 1,000 sets."

"$2,990." Su Cheng reduced the price without hesitation. The effect of $1,000 is greater than that of 10,000 RMB. 1,000 oil production machines, 1,000 US dollars more, which is exactly the price that made Du Lijun of the Jinshi General Factory unscrupulous.

What's more, if the equipment cannot be sold, the other party insists on buying a patent for less than $500, and he may not agree. In this way, he will make an extra $2,500.

Of course, Halliburton is not a loss. Jensen was very happy that the cost of a set of oil production equipment was reduced by $2,000, so he smiled and said, "Okay, just calculate it at the landed price of $2,990. It's a pity that the production line will cause some losses."

Director Huo saw the numbers translated by Qin Yun on paper, and was so happy that he wandered around the room like an orangutan.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to buy a production line for production by yourself. If we produce OEM, we will save a lot of money."

"That's right. Farrell is a fool, causing huge losses to the company." Jansen cursed and said, "Actually, we are ready to put the production line in Mumbai. Since China can provide a lower price, this plan will be temporarily cancelled."

"We can continue to provide products at this price, and you can rest assured." Su Cheng said, but thought: Farrell wanted to create huge profits back then. If he hadn't registered his patent early, he would have been cheated of two or three million dollars and would have to come with a set of patents. However, he was also blamed for his lack of patience and did not wait for the results of the patent inspection.

After saying a few gossips, Jansen said again: "Although the purchase of a thousand sets of oil production machines has been decided, can you attend the signing ceremony? Halliburton is preparing to establish its first branch in China. It is tentatively scheduled to hold a signing ceremony and a press conference in Beijing, the capital of China, on December 15..."

"Of course there is no problem, congratulations. I'm still busy 10 days before Christmas, so I'm really dedicated."

"Halliburton has branches in more than 80 countries and regions around the world, and our employees are used to celebrating Christmas abroad." Jansen said with a smile: "I will leave soon and I will ask the embassy to send you an invitation letter first."

Su Cheng sighed and put down the phone.

Behind him, Director Huo had already started humming a song: a chicken in his left hand and a duck in his right hand...
