Norsk Hydro, expected an increase in maintenance costs to $500 million. .et .et In terms of their success, probably only this price is profitable.

The Saudis naturally refused: "Our budget is only 300 million yuan and cannot be increased."

The Norwegian also said simply: "In this way, we have no choice but to withdraw. Please note that your request is very high, and the condition of 'Haizuan No. [-]' is also very poor, and the structure of the platform is seriously damaged. The same is true for erosion... If you still need our services, you can contact us again."

Hydro really left.

Nasr was not surprised.He gently tugged on the cloak inlaid with gold, did not speak, but looked a little anxious on his face.This is why the Saudis in the late 80s were so anxious. When they sold 5000 billion US dollars of oil every year, no Saudis would really be anxious about work.

Sioux City watched the Norwegian leave, turned around slightly, and asked, "Mr. Bertos, is Halliburton going to continue bidding? If this counts as bidding."

Birstow rubbed his big red nose with his hands twice, and instead of answering Su Cheng's words, he lowered his head to discuss with the engineer.

It is conceivable that if they can win this maintenance project with 300 million US dollars, Dahua Industrial will have little competitiveness.The reputation of both parties is like that of Audi and Alto. In Saudi Arabia, where you can afford anything, famous brands are very important.

Bairstow is even ready for it, as long as he can make a buck.He signed the form.

But the engineer quickly looked up and said, "We can't do this..."

"How much?"

The engineer looked serious and embarrassed, and said, "It's not a problem. I mean. We may not be able to repair 'Sea Diamond [-]'."

"How is it possible!" This was unacceptable to Bairstow, and he asked with wide eyes: "How can we not be able to repair Haizuan-[-], but the Chinese company can?"

"Dahua Industry is the strongest oil equipment company in China. If you notice, you may find that not long ago, Halliburton helped them acquire two European shipping companies, both of which have offshore drilling platform technology. Accumulation. In addition, our Halliburton’s offshore department is now cooperating with Dahua Industry.” The engineer finished in one breath, and continued: “Now, if we undertake this project, we must also find a new one. engineering firm, or use a joint venture between Halliburton and Dahua Industries.”

"Haliburton himself, can't finish it?"

"Yes, the Norwegian said, structural damage is hard to fix. Maybe rebuild."

"What exactly is the company doing? Giving business to the Chinese?"

"Maybe they are considering industrial transfer."

"Transfer a sunrise industry?"

"Offshore oil equipment still belongs to the shipbuilding industry. Haven't we always kept a respectful distance from this industry?"

Bairstow blew his nose and said, "That's why we see Chinese people in the Middle East. A bunch of short-sighted guys!"

The engineer shrugged.to show incompetence.

Bairstow looked up, not only Halliburton's personnel were listening to them.not far away.Su Cheng and Nasr also looked over.

This pushed Bairstow into a corner, rubbing his nose and being speechless.

finally.Still, Nasr couldn't wait any longer and asked, "What's Halliburton's opinion?"

Bairstow said in a vague way: "We have different opinions on the maintenance of the platform."

Nasr believed it and asked happily: "Which opinion? We will try our best to answer."

"We need to comprehensively analyze this test report, and maybe invite another company, a third-party company, to do the test."

Nasr said suspiciously: "The third-party testing company is already in charge of testing now."

"If that's the case, we won't be able to take over this order with 300 million dollars." Birstow groaned for a long time, but the content was similar to that of the Norwegian.

Nasr was disappointed, and looked at Sioux City again.

At this time, he suddenly thought: "Mr. Bairstow, if, I mean, if you are given more options for accessories, you don't need to buy the original level of accessories from the original manufacturer, but use some other accessories, such as Chinese-made accessories. Are you willing to accept replacement parts?"

The steel structure of the offshore drilling platform is only a matter of materials and workmanship. Things such as mud pumps, diesel engines, and cranes are purchased from certain companies in other countries, and it is impossible for all of them to come from the manufacturer of the offshore drilling platform.This is also the place where the cost of accessories is the highest. Sioux City hopes to reduce the cost in this way, and at the same time introduce the accessories made in China. Nasr indirectly revealed the bottom line of Dahua Industrial.

However, Bairstow wisely chose to refuse, although he wanted to accept it.

Since they cannot repair "Haizuan No. [-]", the problem is not the source of the mud pump, but the whole.

After saying the words of quitting, Birstow forced a smile at Su Cheng, and left without looking back.

Jason greeted Su Cheng, but he didn't stay for long.

Not long after, the rest was Dahua Industrial again.

Su Cheng spread his hand to Nasr, smiled and said: "It seems that we can only talk about it."

The Saudi nodded sullenly.It wasn't the first time they had run into a wall. The condition of "Sea Diamond No. 300" completely contradicted their maintenance policy, but they still had to negotiate this order.For the bigwigs of the Saudi National Oil Company, $[-] million is out of sight, and there is no room for modification.

After discussing with a few people around him in a low voice, Nasr made his debut: "All accessories must go through our inspection, and repairs must be completed within half a year, otherwise..."

"We demand low liquidated damages." Sioux City prevented Nasr from continuing, and said: "Since the drilling platform cannot be towed back to the country, we want free dock rent and necessary equipment... You know, this approach, In fact, it has increased our cost. The cost of shipping should not have been included in the maintenance cost.”

Nasr nodded generously, as he usually does.

On the day the contract was signed, hundreds of Chinese workers were dispatched from COSCO Shipping and Dahua.

At the same time, the workers who were going to work on the second "Hua 106" drilling platform were also sent to Saudi Arabia by the former.

The maintenance project that was supposed to be carried out by about 100 people was suddenly filled with 400 people, and the speed was immediately accelerated. It took only about a week, and the equipment on the platform was dismantled and replaced with scrap steel. Nominal, all shipped back to China.

From the perspective of the Saudis, these things can indeed be regarded as the standard of scrap copper and rotten iron. As a national enterprise satisfied with the division of labor in the world, they don't care about the technology contained in the equipment...
