Director Ram held several reports in his hands and walked into the Prime Minister's office.

In the small apartment at the door, there were two or three senior cadres waiting. When they saw him, they greeted him cheerfully, and then went about their business.Secretary Xiaojing quickly made tea for Director Ram, which was Director Ram's favorite Biluochun.

The director smiled and nodded, thinking to himself: The young people nowadays are so powerful, they seem to remember the love lights of every cadre who came here...

In a blink of an eye, Director Gongyang subconsciously thought: Sioux City seems to be 10 years younger than secretary Xiaojing, and now he is not only in charge of his own affairs, but also wants to acquire a factory at the deputy ministerial level.He is also an independent director of China National Petroleum Corporation. If it is placed in the system, a main hall cannot escape..." This world is a bit confusing.

Director Gongyang simulated in his head how those seventies and eighties old deputy directors and old principals would go to see Sioux City. From Ge's point of view, he agrees that "Jinshi General Factory can retain the status of a state-owned enterprise" so that employees can retain their status as employees of a state-owned enterprise, but all administrative levels will be abolished, and they will be transferred to internal positions in state-owned enterprises. This is also a development trend.

While drinking tea, Mr. Gong Yang smiled slightly, picked up the file with him again, and flipped through it again to strengthen his memory:

"International Petroleum Price Trends".

"World Industrial Transfer and Offshore Petroleum Equipment".

"Dahua Industrial Acquires Tianjin Petroleum Machinery General Factory".

These three reports are the main content he will elaborate on.All were born out of the Sioux City reports, but they were different.At least one comrade from the Economic Reform Commission participated in the revision of the report. Every sentence in it was carefully selected and had a source. He only allocated 30 minutes. Reasonable allocation of time and focus is extremely important, Ram The director closed his eyes and thought silently.

When Sioux City arrived in Abu Dhabi, it was first welcomed by UAE dignitaries.

Not every company that bids for the oil field can get the oil. There are countless companies that have spent a lot of dollars but failed to discover oil during the exploration period. Arab countries have to close down a number of oil companies every year.

"Only an oil company that can produce oil is an oil company worth dealing with." This kind of thinking is popular in the Middle East.Officials in the United Arab Emirates have long since thrown away their reserve during the bidding period, and invitations to various banquets and dances have been pouring in like snowflakes.The oil minister of the United Arab Emirates alone signed two different events. A year ago, his attitude was completely different.

For a whole day, Su Cheng only had time to talk to Sha Mingyin for 10 minutes, and he didn't find the opportunity to leave until 10 o'clock in the evening, and threw himself on the big bed in the hotel in exhaustion.

"Bang bang bang".

There was a knock on the door as if the time had been pinched.

Su Cheng twisted and got up on the bed, and finally got up helplessly to open the door. At the same time, Shiro in the opposite room opened the door first and asked, "Who are you?"

Standing in the corridor were two Chinese men, about 40 to 80 years old, wearing ordinary blue suits and gold-rimmed glasses.From the perspective of China in the [-]s, it was considered fashionable, but from the perspective of Abu Dhabi's style, it was a bit behind the times.

The attitudes of the two were friendly, they turned around a little, and said with a smile: "I am Dai Xu, the commercial counselor of the embassy, ​​and this is my colleague Wang Lin. We are here to visit Mr. Su Cheng."

"What's the matter?" Shiro replaced Goro, who was five big and three thick, as half of Su Cheng's follower.Of course, Jingshan people are all big and thick, and there are not a few with big arms that are thicker than their heads. Even their normal tone of voice carries a natural threat.

"We are here to visit Mr. Su Cheng, and we would like to ask him for a few favors." Dai Xu was fine, but Wang Lin was a little nervous and took a small step back.

Su Cheng listened silently for half a minute, then opened the door from behind.

Wang Lin was so frightened that he almost jumped up.

Dai Xu slapped him, pressed the guy's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Su, I'm the commercial counselor of the Chinese embassy in the UAE. I think I'll come earlier..."

"Hello." Su Cheng guessed that they must have been waiting for a long time.

"Can you talk inside?" Dai Xu seemed very at ease.

Su Cheng let them in.

Dai Xu was polite, and entered the living room as he said, looked around, and said with a smile: "Mr. Su has received a lot of invitations today."

"Ok?"

"I said it directly, we want Director Su to bring a few people to these banquets."

"What do you mean?"

Dai Xu said a little embarrassedly: "We have established diplomatic relations with the UAE for a few years, but the situation in non-governmental exchanges has not yet opened up. This is also because our country does not have much economic exchanges with the UAE. People from these western countries, It’s all about economics.”

Sioux Cheng now understands that his Setan Oilfield is undoubtedly China's largest project in the UAE, so he and Dahua Industry are more popular than the Chinese embassy... Maybe they are popular a lot of.

"Which banquets are you going to attend?" Su Cheng beckoned and called Shiro, "Go and take out those invitation letters."

"Thank you very much." Dai Xu rubbed his hands together with a smile and said, "We can refer to the invitation letter together. Some occasions may bring us in. As long as we go in, we can do our own activities." "No problem." Su Cheng gave The two of them poured water, with indifferent expressions on their faces.

After a while, Shiro came in with a black plastic bag thicker than his own arm.

Dai Xu opened his eyes wide and asked, "Are they all there?"

Shiro shook his head and said, "Not entirely."

He then bent down to go under the bar in the room, took out a trash can, and then pulled out the same black plastic bag.

Dai Xu was puzzled: "What is this?"

"Oh, we threw the invitations as trash before." Shiro put on his gloves, and found one after another of the sticky invitations.

Dai Xu's expression was weird like a burnt toast.

Wang Lin coughed twice, and said: So Dong Su didn't plan to go to these banquets? "

"There are hundreds of banquets, and the time is concentrated within a week. I picked a few and didn't plan to go to them all."

"So that's how it is." Dai Xu laughed awkwardly, seeing that the invitation letter he asked for was in the trash can, he felt a little weird.

Invitations come in all varieties, as well as gilded and wooden ones.Due to the large number, Su Cheng quickly put on gloves and cleaned up together.The bins had remnants of beer and bread crumbs stuck to invitations that just needed to be wiped clean.

After a while, Dai Xu categorized the invitation letters and explained the information, background and other information of each company to Sioux City.

His channels were completely different from those used by Sioux City to obtain information. After some explanations, Sioux City immediately had a new understanding of Abu Dhabi's oil companies.

Dai Xu also became more and more excited as he talked.For the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this is a rare opportunity.For Dai Xuren, it is also a rare opportunity. As a commercial counselor, his job is to enhance the economic and trade cooperation between the two countries. If he can promote the UAE’s large imports to China, it will be considered complete.

Su threw a smile beside him, these companies were all interested in the oil and gas resources in the Setan area, just like most companies in the Middle East.There are even some companies that rely entirely on new oil companies for their livelihoods. Therefore, his demand for expanding inter-company exchanges is not as strong as that of Dai Xu.

After sorting out all the invitations, Dai Xu naturally wanted to take them away.At this time, he was a little embarrassed, thought for a while, and said: "I heard that Chairman Su is going to hold an international petroleum equipment exhibition in Abu Dhabi? We have already received the news, and the request from the Ministry is to go all out. This time, we can also talk about the oil equipment exhibition as the main topic. Yes, this way of talking is better than simply talking about economic and trade cooperation between the two countries, right?"

"That's right." Su Cheng was not surprised by Dai Xu's words.The importance of the oil equipment exhibition can easily be upgraded strategically, especially for the UAE embassy.China now urgently needs to break the ice diplomatically, and based on the historical axis, non-governmental activities with an official background are the most suitable. In 1954, the Red Cross Society of China went to Japan to break the ice." In 970, the American corps team was invited to visit China. It was a classic ice-breaking trip. As long as the Abu Dhabi Petroleum Equipment Exhibition can stick to one side, you can immediately get unlimited preferential treatment.

Dai Xu left a list of oil companies before it was opened.Sioux City has been roughly searched, and they are all Middle Eastern companies that have ties to China.

Compared with the domestic version, Dai Xu's revision is more complete.Su Cheng nodded secretly, handed it to Shiro and said, "Fax it back to China, and let someone from China contact you. Also, find a car, and let's go to the construction site tomorrow morning."

"Are you going tomorrow? What about those banquets?"

"Get up early and try to come back in the afternoon. When you're done, go and rest."

Shiro let out an "oh" and quickly added: "I fell asleep after doing 0 push-ups, otherwise I wouldn't be able to fall asleep."

The next morning, Sioux City got up at 5 o'clock, boarded a rented SUV and headed for the Setan construction site. Three hours later, I saw the Shaming seal under the fiery red flag.The long-term wind and sand made his rough skin as black and rough as sandpaper.

Below the banner is the third offshore drilling platform built by Dahua Industry.It stood in the shallow sea with eight legs, firmly suppressing the oil well below.On the working surface made of steel on the upper level, people come and go.

Sioux City took a commuter boat, jumped onto the drilling platform, and looked around.The industrial machines at work and the steel giants just produced in the workshop have completely different temperaments.

After Sha Mingyin helped tie the boat, he said with a smile, "The crude oil production on our platform is not stable yet, so there is no way to hold a welcome ceremony."

Su Cheng patted Sha Mingyin on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I don't need those fake things. It's you guys who have worked hard to explore oil abroad. How are you feeling?"

"Of course I'm happy that oil has been mined." Sha Mingyin held the walkie-talkie in one hand, and said happily, "We usually change shifts at 7 in the morning, but at 6 in the morning this morning, almost all the shift shifters have arrived. gone."

"Is there anyone else living in the desert camp?"

"Some people are not used to living at sea. However, they get up earlier. Some workers have to get up at 4 o'clock to eat. Before the weather is hot, they will drive for more than an hour to the beach, and then go to the beach. Boat work. We stipulate that we have to work continuously for 6 hours in the morning before taking a rest, and this time is also the time for maintenance.” Sha Mingyin said it very naturally, as if he was having brunch.

If it was in China, Su Cheng might not have felt it yet, but standing in the shallow sea near the desert, Su Cheng felt that he was about to be roasted, and couldn't help saying: "In this case, you have to work continuously for 6 hours. ?”

Sha Mingyin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You speak like those foreign experts. Now is the most comfortable time. At noon and afternoon, the iron railings of the drilling platform can't be grasped, and it's hot."

"Then how did the foreign workers do it?"

"They work for 4 hours in the morning and take a break. Logically, they should work for another 4 hours in the afternoon, but recently, the highest temperature at noon is 50 degrees Celsius, so they take it for granted and then take a rest. Sometimes they have to wait until the sun is coming soon. When the mountain falls, I only work for 2 hours, and at the end of the day, the total working time is only 6 hours." Sha Ming said with disdain.

In fact, even if it is an hour, it is not easy in the eyes of Sioux City. It is estimated that those pampered Abu Dhabi workers are not willing to go to the well.

Seeing that Su Cheng disagreed, Sha Mingyin said again: "Don't look at their working hours are only two hours less than ours. Over time, their work efficiency has been reduced. In fact, getting up two hours earlier can solve all problems. , When the weather is the hottest, we only send inspectors, not a large number of workers."

Su Cheng hesitated, and said, "Is the output stable?"

"The daily output is 3 to 35 barrels, and there is no tendency to decline."

Su Cheng nodded, and said: "In this case, why not add more workers?" "You can't add more workers, the drilling platform can only accommodate a limited number of people." It wasn't Sha Mingyin who spoke, but a young man who was eavesdropping The worker, who looked about [-] years old, only wore work clothes on his upper body, no undershirt, and his hair was shaved very short, obviously he was afraid of the heat.

Noisy Mingyin saw that Su Cheng was not unhappy, so he introduced: "This is Han Wo. When Dahua recruited from all over the country, we recruited people who can endure hardships and are very flexible. There is no place he can't go to on our drilling platform. "

The entire platform is as high as a storey, and there are seven or eight floors of steel structures in the middle like a building. It is very complicated. How to access the pipes during maintenance is a very complicated problem.

Seeing that he was only a few years younger than himself, Su Cheng said softly, "You can't add workers, how do you think the work pressure on the drilling platform can be reduced?"

Han Wo jumped down from the top nonchalantly, and said: "Workers live on the drilling platform every day, who works overtime and who doesn't work overtime, it's so fussy, if you have time, why don't you send more daily necessities for peace... ..."

"Not enough living supplies?" Su Cheng had a serious face.

"There is enough food, but it's useless. Magazines are delivered every two months, and the TV has no signal. The worst thing is that there is no phone." Han Wo counted on his fingers, and there was still hope in his eyes.

Sha Mingyin smiled wryly and said: "Don't listen to him, the drilling platform can only use satellite phones, except for emergencies, who can use them? It costs several dollars a minute!"

"Pull a telephone line to the drilling platform." Han Wo's words are childish.

He also seemed to know that it was a bit unrealistic, so his tone was quite depressing.

Sioux City remained silent. It is more than 0 kilometers away from the offshore drilling platform to Abu Dhabi. With the technology of this era, the one-time investment of pulling the telephone line is too large, and Etisalat Telecom does not know this kind of service. affairs.

The main problem with satellite phones is that they are expensive, because it is not uncommon to make calls through satellites for 1 dollars a minute.Although the salary of the Chinese workers is as high as the standard of one thousand yuan, it is not enough for the consumption of making phone calls.

"Can we go back to the city in batches?" Su Fang searched for a solution.

Sha Mingyin said softly: "The drilling platform is too far from the city, and it takes half a day to go back and forth. If you miss work and time, if you don't make it in the evening, you have to live in Abu Dhabi, which is too expensive. Moreover, many workers We don’t know a foreign language, and we have to be accompanied by an interpreter. After we came to the platform, we never went out again.”

Su Cheng's heart trembled when he heard that.

Oil is always buried in areas that are inaccessible and have harsh natural conditions. People like Sha Mingyin may have long been used to this kind of life in seclusion.In fact, they also know the prosperity of Abu Dhabi. In 1989, it was far better than the flashy capital of Beijing. These workers can bear it, which represents a kind of mentality.

"My motherland donates oil!" is far from a simple slogan. The reason why the word "sacrifice" is used is that hard work requires lofty principles.

Holding the hot railing with Su Cheng's hand, he asked Sha Mingyin, "How long have you been home? How is your family?"

"I earn so much money a month, and my family lives well. It's just that the child is still young and ignorant, and sometimes asks his father... Actually, I'm used to it. When I was on the exploration team, I still ran around day and night. "

Sha Mingyin's black face was as rough as sand and stones, occasionally showing a gentle expression, rather jerky.

"When I was on the exploration team, I could at least make a phone call to my family." Sioux Cheng sighed, and said, "Well, let's equip our drilling platform with a satellite phone. Each of our workers, every month You can call home for 10 minutes, the company pays the bill, and you can choose the time.”

Sha Mingyin was stunned, grabbed Su Cheng and said, "Do you know how much it costs?"

"10 minutes of phone calls, 100 dollars a month, or 400 yuan..." Sioux City pretended to be relaxed. The rise in manpower is a serious problem that any company is unwilling to face. Actively increasing manpower is not a one-off. a sensible approach.However, things in the world can't be too sensible sometimes.

Sha Mingyin hated iron and steel and said: "We use US dollars to make satellite calls, real US dollars. We dig oil overseas to earn some dollars? How can we waste it like this?" It is Hanwo, although very Looking forward to it, he still clenched his fists and refused: "Take home 100 dollars, and you can exchange it for 700 yuan. It's too expensive. We write letters in the same way."

Su Cheng disagreed and said: "Writing a letter feels different from making a phone call. We don't care about it now... Sigh, just treat it as a company benefit."

"No!" Sha Mingyin appraised and said, "Do you know which country is the richest in the Persian Gulf?"

"U.S?"

"The richest are the Japanese, and the French have the best welfare. They don't dare to let workers make satellite calls for free. At most, they can go home more than we can and pay more subsidies. They are still developed countries. Well." Sha Mingyin gritted his teeth and said, "It's a big deal, I organize people to go to Abu Dhabi every month to make phone calls. Even if long-distance calls are expensive, they are not as outrageous as satellite calls..."

"It doesn't have to be so clear." Su Cheng could see that everyone still wanted to make a call.When you think about it carefully, compared with the oil production of 3 barrels per day, the monthly welfare investment of tens of thousands of dollars is nothing.

Seeing that there were too many workers around him, he thought for a while, raised his head and said in a loud voice, "Dahua Industrial thank you for your excellent service overseas. Every overseas worker is the company If you pay the bill, you can make 10 minutes of satellite phone calls every month. If you don’t finish the calls in the current month, you can also save them for the next month. In the future, no matter where Dahua Industrial’s business is, this benefit will serve as a basic guarantee. ensure!"

Cheers erupted.Although Sha Mingyin felt it was a waste, the warm current between his chest and abdomen made him speechless.
