Director Yang walked into the Prime Minister's office with a few reports in his hand.

There were two or three senior cadres waiting in the small suite at the door. When they saw him, they would greet him happily and do their own things. Secretary Xiao Jing acted quickly to make tea for Director Yang, which was Director Yang’s favorite Biluochun.

The director nodded with a smile and thought to himself: The young people are really amazing nowadays. They seem to remember the hobbies of every cadre who has been here...

In a blink of an eye, Director Gongyang unconsciously thought: Su Cheng seemed to be 10 years younger than his secretary Xiao Jing. Now he is not only alone, but also wants to acquire a deputy ministerial-level factory. He is also a director of China National Petroleum Corporation. If he is placed in the system, a main hall cannot escape... This world is a bit unobstructed.

Director Gongyang simulated the old deputy and old officials in his head, and how to visit Su Cheng, which is just a pure simulation. Dahua Industrial requires all senior executives of the Jinshi General Factory to resign. From the perspective of institutional reform, he agreed that the Jinshi General Factory can retain the identity of a state-owned enterprise and allow employees to retain the identity of a state-owned enterprise employee, but the administrative level must be completely abolished and converted to positions within a state-owned enterprise, which is also a development trend.

Taking advantage of the tea, Director Yang smiled slightly, picked up the documents he carried with him again, and searched them again to enhance his memory:

"Trends of Changes in International Oil Prices".

"World Industrial Transfer and Offshore Oil Equipment".

"Dahua Industrial Acquisition of Tianjin Petroleum Machinery Plant".

These three reports are the main contents he wants to explain. All were born from Sucheng's reports, but there were differences. At least 20 comrades from the Sports Reform Commission participated in the revision of the report. Each sentence in it was carefully verbal and sentenced. He only allocated 30 minutes. It was extremely important to allocate time and focus reasonably. Director Gongyang closed his eyes and thought silently.

...

When Sucheng arrived in Abu Dhabi, it was first welcomed by UAE politicians.

Not every company that bids for oil fields can get oil. After spending a lot of dollars, it ultimately fails to find oil during the exploration period. Arab countries have to close a group of oil companies every year.

"Only oil companies that can produce oil are oil companies worth interacting with." This idea is popular in the Middle East. UAE officials have long left the reserve of bidding, and various invitations to banquets and dances flew in like snowflakes. The UAE oil minister alone signed two different events. A year ago, his attitude was completely different.

For a whole day, Su Cheng had only had time to make a phone call with Sha Mingyin for 10 minutes. It was not until 10 o'clock in the evening that he found the opportunity to leave early. He threw himself on the big bed in the hotel exhausted.

"Bang bang bang bang bang".

The door was knocked as if it was pinched with time.

Su Cheng twisted and got up on the bed. Finally, he had no choice but to get up 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, in their thirties and forties, wearing ordinary blue suits and gold-rimmed glasses. From the perspective of the Chinese perspective of the 1980s, it can be considered fashionable, but from the Abu Dhabi style, it is a bit behind the times.

The two of them had a kind attitude, turned a little, and smiled and said, "I am Dai Xu, the business counselor of the embassy. This is Wang Lin. We are here to visit Mr. Su Cheng."

"What's the matter?" Shiro replaced Goro, who was big and thick, and became half of Sucheng's follower. Of course, Jingshan people were all in shape. There were many big arms thicker than their heads. Even in a normal tone, they had a natural threat.

"We are here to visit Mr. Su Cheng and want to ask him to help." Fortunately, Dai Xu was a little mentally irritated and took a small step back.

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

Wang Lin almost jumped up in fear.

Dai Xu slapped him, pressed the guy on the shoulder, and smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Su, I am the business counselor of the Chinese Embassy in the UAE. I originally wanted to come earlier..."

"Hello." Su Cheng guessed that they probably had been waiting for a long time.

"Can you talk in it?" Dai Xu seemed very comfortable.

Su Cheng gave the two of them in.

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

"Um?"

"I said directly that we want Mr. Su to bring a few people to these banquets together."

"What's the meaning?"

Dai Xu said a little embarrassedly: "We have established diplomatic relations with the UAE for several years, but in private exchanges, the situation has not yet been opened up, and it is because our country does not have much economic exchanges with the UAE. People from these Western countries pay attention to the economy."

Sucheng now understands that his Setan oil field is undoubtedly China's largest project in the UAE. Therefore, he and Dahua Industry are more popular than the Chinese Embassy... Perhaps much more popular.

"What banquet do you want to attend?" Su Cheng waved and called Silang, saying, "Go and take out all the invitations."

"Thank you so much." Dai Xu rubbed his hands with a smile: "We can discuss the invitation letter together. You may ask you to take us in in some occasions. As long as you go in, you can move freely."

"No problem." Su Cheng poured water for the two of them, his expression was indifferent.

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

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

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

He then bent down to 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 invitation letters as garbage before." Shiro put on gloves and found one sticky invitation letter after another.

Dai Xu's expression was as weird as baked bread.

Wang Lin coughed twice and said, "Dr. Su is not going to go to these banquets?"

"There are hundreds of banquets, and the time is concentrated within a week. I have picked a few and am not going to go all of them."

"So that's it." Dai Xu smiled awkwardly, and it felt a little weird when he saw the invitation he asked for in the trash can.

There are all kinds of invitation letters, including gold-plated and wooden ones. Because of the large number, Sucheng quickly put on gloves and cleaned them together. There were residues of beer and bread crumbs in the trash can. It was stuck to the invitation letter and just wiped it and it would be clean.

After a while, Dai Xu classified the invitation letters and explained the capital, background and other information of each company to Sucheng.

His channels are completely different from those of Sucheng to obtain information. After an explanation, Sucheng immediately gained a new understanding of Abu Dhabi's oil companies.

Dai Xu became more and more excited as he spoke. This was a rare opportunity for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was also a rare opportunity for Dai Xu himself. As a business counselor, his job was to enhance economic and trade cooperation between the two countries. If it could promote the large amount of UAE imports from China, it would be perfect.

Sucheng smiled. These companies were attracted by the oil and gas resources in the Setan area, just like most companies in the Middle East. Some companies even rely entirely on new oil companies to survive. Therefore, his demand for expanding inter-company interactions was not as good as Dai Xuwangsheng.

After sorting out all the invitation letters, Dai Xu naturally wanted to take them away. At this time, he felt a little embarrassed, thought for a while, and said, "I heard that Director Su was going to hold an international oil equipment exhibition in Abu Dhabi? We have received this news. The Ministry’s request is to do its best. This visit can also be discussed as the main topic. Yes, this way of negotiation is better than simply saying that economic and trade cooperation between the two countries, right?"

"That's right." Su Cheng said Dai Xu without surprise. The importance of the oil equipment exhibition can easily be upgraded to strategic, especially for the UAE Embassy. China now urgently needs diplomatic icebreaking, and with history as the axis. Folk behavior with official background is the most suitable. In 1954, the Chinese Red Cross went to Japan to break the ice. In 1970, the American table tennis team was invited to visit China, which is a classic icebreaking journey. As long as the Abu Dhabi oil equipment exhibition can be glued to the edge, it will immediately receive unlimited preferential treatment.

Dai Xu left a list of oil companies before leaving. Sucheng roughly reviewed it. It was all Middle Eastern companies that had a relationship with China.

Compared to the domestic version, the revised version in Dai Xu was more complete. Su Cheng nodded secretly and handed it to Silang and said, "Fax back to China and send someone to contact us in China. In addition, find a car and we will go to the construction site tomorrow morning to check it out."

"Will you go tomorrow? What should I do if those banquets?"

"Get up earlier and try to come back in the afternoon. After finishing, you can go and rest."

Shiro said "Oh" and quickly added: "I'll go to bed after doing 200 push-ups, and I can't sleep."

The next morning, Sucheng got up at 5 o'clock, took a rented SUV and headed for the Setan construction site.

Three hours later, I saw the sound of the sand under the fiery red flag. The long-term wind and sand made his originally rough skin look like matte paper, black and rough.

Below the banner is the third offshore drilling platform built by Dahua Industrial. It stands in the shallow sea with eight feet, firmly suppressing the oil well below. On the working surface of the upper steel casting, there are people coming and going.

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

After Sha Mingyin helped tie the boat, he smiled and said, "The crude oil production on our platform is still unstable, and there is no way to get a welcome ceremony."

Su Cheng patted Sha Mingyin on the shoulder and smiled and said, "There is no need for those who are weak. But you have worked hard to explore oil abroad. How are you all in a mood?"

"Of course I am happy to have oil mined." Sha Mingyin pinched the walkie-talkie in one hand and said happily: "We usually hand over shifts at 7 a.m., and at 6 a.m., the shift changes are almost all."

“Are there anyone living in desert camps?”

"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 have dinner. When the weather is not getting hot, they take a car to the beach for more than an hour, and then board a boat to work. We stipulate that we have to work for 6 hours in the morning before we can rest, and this time is also the time for maintenance." Sha Mingyin said very naturally, as if he was brunch.

If it was in China, Sucheng might not have felt it yet, but just standing in the shallow sea near the desert, Sucheng felt that he was about to be roasted and couldn't help but say, "In this case, you have to work for 6 hours in a row?"

Sha Mingyin was stunned for a moment and laughed: "You speak like those foreign experts. Now is the most comfortable time. It's not even possible to catch the iron railings of the drilling platform, and it's hot."

"How do foreign workers do it?"

"They work for 4 hours in the morning and then rest for 4 hours in the afternoon. However, in recent times, the maximum temperature at noon was 50 degrees Celsius, so they took it as a matter of course to rest. Sometimes they had to wait until the sun was about to set and only worked for another 2 hours. At the end of the day, the entire working time was only 6 hours." Sha Ming Yinyu was disdainful.

In fact, even if it takes 4 hours, it seems that it is not easy in Sucheng. I guess those pampered Abu Dhabi workers are unwilling to go to the well.

Seeing that Su Cheng disagreed, Sha Mingyin said again: "Don't look at their working hours being only two hours less than us. Over time, their work efficiency is more than 30%. In fact, when you wake up two hours early, all problems will be solved. When the weather is the hottest, we will only send inspectors and will not send large quantities of workers."

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

"The production of 30,000 barrels per day is 35,000 barrels, and there is no trend of decay."

Su Cheng nodded and said, "Since that's the case, why don't you follow the processing person?"

"You can't chase after processing people, and there are only people who can live in the drilling platform." The person who spoke was not Sha Mingyin, but a young worker who was eavesdropping. He looked about 20 years old, and his upper body was only wearing work clothes and no sweatshirt inside. His hair was also shaved very short, which seemed to be a person who was afraid of heat.

Seeing that Su Cheng was not unhappy, Sha Mingyin introduced: "This is Hanwo. We recruited during the recruitment of Dahua nationwide. We can endure hardships. And it is very flexible. There is no place for us to go to the drilling platform."

The entire platform has a height of 20 floors, and is like a building in the middle, with seven or eight floors of steel structures, which are very complex. How to contact the pipes during maintenance is a very complicated issue.

Seeing that he was only a few years younger than him, Su Cheng couldn't help but speak softly, saying, "You can't chase after processing people. How do you think you can reduce the working pressure on the drilling platform?"

Han Wo jumped out of the above indifferently and said, "Workers live on the drilling platform every day. Whoever works overtime does not work overtime? They care so much. If you have time, it is better to send more daily necessities..."

"There are not enough daily necessities?" Su Cheng's face was full of seriousness.

"I've eaten enough, but it's useless. Magazine is delivered every two months, and there is no signal on the TV. The worst thing is that there is no phone number." Han Wo counted his fingers, and there was still expectation in his eyes.

Sha Mingyin smiled bitterly and said, "Don't listen to him. The drilling platform can only be made with satellite phones. Except for emergencies, who can use it? It costs several dollars per minute!"

"Pull a telephone line to the drilling platform." Han Wo's words were just the words of the child.

He seemed to know that it was a bit unrealistic, so he was quite depressed in his tone.

Sucheng was silent. It was more than 200 kilometers away from offshore drilling platforms to Abu Dhabi. With the technology of this era, the one-time investment in pulling telephone lines is too great, and UAE Telecom will not provide such services.
