My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 848 Back to Sydney

After wandering around the black market, the group finally came to the mechanical equipment area. The place was quiet and deserted, in stark contrast to other places in the park.

Ding Datou doesn't know much about this, so he can't help.

Fortunately, Ye Hui did her homework in advance, and called the previous broker on the spot. The other party appeared soon, and led everyone into a five-story office building.

Hearing that there was a big business coming, the boss of Zhenxia Equipment Co., Ltd. was so enthusiastic that he went out in person and waited at the door of the company with a few employees.

"Xu Dong, I have been admiring you for a long time!"

The broker quickly helped to introduce: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Ye, this is Mr. Qian Xia, Mr. Qian. He is one of the largest second-hand equipment suppliers in our Philippine region, ranging from offshore drilling platforms to small flour mills. , their company can provide them, and they are of high quality and low price.”

"Mr. Qian, did you really get the drilling rig?"

Xu Dong expressed doubts.

Offshore drilling platforms are called "lands that flow on the sea". They have a very high technological content and can be called a heavy weapon of a big country. It is not something that cats and dogs can get involved in.

"Of course." Qian Xia seemed confident, "If Director Xu needs it, I can help you contact the seller right now. As long as it is on Blue Star, I will guarantee it within half a year."

"May I ask, where did the drilling platform come from?"

"Mr. Xu, don't worry. Ever since the Europas took over the oil fields in the Middle East, they have looked down upon the North Sea oil fields. Many offshore drilling platforms have been 'idle' and are urgently needed to be sold."

Qian Xia quickly explained.

The size of the offshore drilling platform is there, even if it sells scrap iron, it can be sold for a lot of money. A high price means a high commission. He hopes that the other party will be interested.

"What? Is there no one in our country to take over?"

Xu Dong was suddenly curious.

I have long heard that the South China Sea has a lot of oil and gas resources, and now the sea level has dropped by more than 100 meters compared to ten years ago, which is a good time for large-scale development.

"Cough, the current oil price is low, and the cost of offshore oil production is too high, and the gain outweighs the loss."

Qian Xia explained helplessly.

Since the founding of the United States of America and the formal truce between Europe and Judas, the overall world situation has tended to be stable, and oil production has repeatedly hit new highs.

There is a lot of crude oil in the market, so the price of oil has naturally fallen all the way. It even fell below the 60 yuan mark at the beginning of this month, and it seems that it will go back to a few years ago.

In fact, in addition to food, not only oil, the prices of other bulk raw materials are slowly falling.

After all, the world has a population of less than 1.5 billion, of which more than two-thirds are in Asia.

On the one hand, there is excess capacity;
On the other hand, Asia Mutual has almost monopolized the bulk commodity transactions of Bluestar, and completely controls the pricing power of the market. This is the advantage of the entire industry chain.

Xu Dong nodded with a smile: "So that's what happened, I've been taught."

"Mr. Xu, if you need to drill a well..."

Qian Xia was a little unwilling to give up, and cautiously probed.

"No, I was just chatting casually."

Xu Dong waved his hand.

Given the current world situation, the energy industry is definitely profitable, and can make a lot of money. Unfortunately, most of the market is not something that private companies can get involved in, and they have no ability to intervene.

After all, the external risks are too great.

In case of a sudden situation, the bamboo basket will be empty at the least, and the family will go bankrupt at the worst.

Only state-owned enterprises can afford this risk.

After entering the meeting room, the two sides immediately started a war of words. This is a super project with a total value of more than 20 billion, and it cannot be negotiated in a short time.

Xu Dong listened to a general idea.

Generally speaking, Qian Xia is capable of completing this project. According to the other party, their company has deep connections both at home and abroad, whether it is equipment or engineers, it is not a problem.

The biggest problem is price.

If it is necessary to summon engineers from China, the cost will be high. Not only will it delay time, but it will cost millions of dollars per person just for the round trip.

Ye Hui proposed to recruit engineers from Europa.

Qian Xia nodded on the spot: "Mr. Ye, Europas are indeed cheap and easy to use, but there is one thing that will be very troublesome."

"What's the trouble?"

"They often have strings attached, and many require family members to accompany them, which is not a small burden."

"Take care of your family? What do you mean?"

Xu Dong asked curiously.

"It literally means that a fool can see the current situation in Europa. Many of these engineers are the pillars of their families. If they don't bring their families with them, they won't travel far away with peace of mind."

Ding Datou couldn't help curling his lips: "What are you dragging your family with you? I think they want to take the opportunity to immigrate?"

"Mr. Ding is right. If given the chance, of course they want to immigrate to our side."

"Engineers can be regarded as high-level talents, right? Is it difficult for them to immigrate?"

Xu Dong was puzzled.

Qian Xia quickly replied: "Mr. Xu, today is different. Because of the wave of immigrants, Europa has declined a bit in the past two years. Many factories either moved out or went bankrupt.

Under such a vicious circle, the unemployment rate has remained high for a long time, and our Philippine state has a weak industrial foundation and cannot absorb so many talents at all. "

"Such a waste."

Xu Dong couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"No way, low-end industries are better. After all, our state is short of people, but there is no shortage of so-called high-end talents."

"Didn't the above just move a lot of factories here? It should be able to provide a lot of jobs, right?"

"It is estimated to be difficult. On the one hand, the long-distance water cannot quench the near-thirst, and on the other hand, it is even more difficult for state-owned enterprises to enter. There are too many people waiting in line in China to go abroad. There is no shortage of people at all."

Qian Xia shook her head helplessly.

Xu Dong's heart suddenly moved.

He immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call to Liu Xin. The Philippine Chamber of Commerce is preparing to do a big job, so he simply organized a group to go to Europa to recruit a group of high-level talents back.

This group of "earth emperors", big bosses, and cruelty are their strengths, but they may not be able to run a company, so it is better to take the opportunity to make up for this shortcoming.

After hearing this, Liu Xin felt as if he had found a treasure, and called a meeting the next afternoon.

Xu Dong did not attend the meeting.

With Yang Shuo and others, he had already boarded the eastbound passenger ship.

……

A week later, the group changed to Lina.

Hurrying all the way, he finally returned to Sydney before New Year's Day. In order to surprise his family, Xu Dong sneaked back to the manor without notifying anyone.

Sydney is in summer in December.

Mama Xu was sitting in the yard watching her mobile phone, while the old man was watching short videos and wiping away tears.

As soon as Xu Dong entered the door, he saw such a picture, so he hurriedly said with concern:

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Mother Xu was startled, and quickly stood up: "Sir, why are you back?"

"My business trip is over, why don't I come back!"

"Why don't you guys notify me in advance, so that I can ask Master Zhong to cook two more dishes at noon."

Yang Shuo smiled and waved his hands: "Grandma, don't bother me. My uncle and I have been on a boat for a month, and we are almost numb. Now I want to eat something lighter."

"Okay, Lingling just happened to be at home, you should hurry back to your room, I have some good news for you, you are going to be a father again soon."

"Lingling is pregnant?"

Yang Shuo was overjoyed when he heard that.

"It was found out last month. The two of you want to go together. She also wants to give you a surprise, so she stops us from telling you."

Mother Xu joked.

"Grandma, I'll come back and chat with you later."

Yang Shuo couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed to the villa with his suitcase.

"No, you can spend more time with Lingling."

Xu Dong took the opportunity to sneak a glance at his mother's mobile phone: "Mom, what are you looking at? Why were you crying just now?"

"Alas..." Mother Xu sighed deeply, then pointed to the phone screen and explained: "Look at what it said, the Europa people are too pitiful, the little doll who is only six or seven years old is going to Do odd jobs in factories, or pick up junk on the street, otherwise there is nothing to eat."

"Mom, not everything in the short video is true."

Xu Dong immediately comforted him.

Whether it is before or after the disaster, many so-called self-media like to take out of context and make up stories in order to obtain traffic, which is simply frenzied.
