The ventilation fan above the exhibition hall was blowing.

The English and Arabic are all over the place, and there are also various types of traditional petrochemical companies. The traditional top 500 companies have Arab branches, which send Arabic translations, and even Arab engineers.

Dahua Industrial has no such conditions, and can only use English to charge the numbers. In this way, customers need to understand English by themselves, or bring an English translation and a three-party translation.

Su Cheng felt that Chai Wei had the intention of using a beauty trick, but if you observe carefully, you would feel that her movements and language were normal.

While he was secretly alert, he smiled and said, "There is always a little nervous, especially when you can't figure out the details of your opponent."

Chai Wei smiled softly and said, "Dr. Su regards me as an opponent? We can benefit each other and achieve our respective goals."

"I am not familiar with you, so why don't we talk about mutual benefit? We should do our own things and not interfere with each other." Su Cheng suddenly felt a headache when he heard her cooperation.

"Doctor Su doesn't want to sell a few more offshore drilling platforms? I heard that this thing is about the same price as a ship."

"You are talking about a complete set of offshore drilling platforms. The price of drilling platforms is high, and it is not something you can sell by selling them. There are a series of details to talk about. Besides, our offshore oil equipment of Dahua Industrial is not very famous yet. It is better to accumulate for two years and then enter the world market."

This sentence is insincere, just distrust Chai Wei. No matter what department it is in China, no matter how powerful it is, it cannot control foreign countries. A drilling platform worth tens of millions of dollars can be determined in just a few words. Diab refers to the oil power of the UAE and talks as the representative of the crown prince. Su Cheng does not think Chai Wei can reach this level.

Chai Wei saw Su Cheng’s distrust, squinted her eyes and smiled, and said, “You can’t be too disadvantageous, just like this. As a thank you, I will introduce you to a list, but whether you can get it. There is indeed a series of details to discuss. Whether you can discuss it depends on your ability.”

When she spoke like this, she seemed a little old-fashioned.

However, when the person she invited appeared and introduced that "this person is the representative of Nasr Latia. Aramco," Sucheng was indeed surprised.

Representative of Saudi Petroleum Corporation!

For major oil companies in the world, "Saudi National Oil Company" is definitely a high-quality customer of the crown class. They have too many oil resources under their name. They don't care about spending money at all... The world's best and most oil mining equipment and oil refining equipment are sold to Saudi Arabia.

Aramco is also Saudi Arabia's only oil company, owning the entire Saudi Arabia's oil resources. The largest shareholder is Saudi King. Since the 1980s, Saudi Arabia has recovered all its oil property rights from American companies, their control over oil has become increasingly strict and profits have also risen. Oil companies that cannot produce oil from Saudi Arabia regard selling oil equipment as the only way to make money...

Even in Sucheng, he did not expect that representatives from Saudi Petroleum Corporation would come to visit him.

Chai Wei blinked at him and introduced: "You can talk. I hope we will have a happy future cooperation."

"after?"

"We have contacted Mr. Diab." Chai Wei made a phone call gesture.

Only then did Su Cheng remember that he had called Diabu's cover number in the conference hall of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. If they were careful, they could indeed contact Diabu directly.

As a result, Sucheng felt at ease and asked the Saudis on his own initiative: "Mr. Nasr, what do you need?"

"We have a semi-submersible offshore drilling platform that is damaged and needs repair." The translator around Nasr answered in different Chinese.

The group of five of them wore traditional white robes, headscarves, and cloaks with gold edges. They both had a luxurious atmosphere and were solemn and mysterious.

"Repair? Is it a major repair? Why not leave it to the shipyard that produces it?" Su Cheng frowned strangely. The semi-submersible offshore drilling platform has a very strong technical content, and it is inevitable that there are some technical patents from production and R&D companies. If repaired by other companies, it is not difficult.

Nasr said softly, and his translator said: "The reason for scheduling. We hope that the platform can be repaired on site. It is best to be in the Persian Gulf."

Sucheng's eyelids twitched and said, "We don't have a shipyard in the Persian Gulf."

"The platform has been dragged to Jeddah Port."

This project is actually a bit useless. Especially for Dahua Industrial, which has ordinary technical strength, it is not easy to repair a semi-submersible offshore drilling platform, and it takes a lot of time and energy. As for the project itself, it is definitely not cost-effective.

If you want to talk about the benefits, you can learn about the third generation of semi-submersible offshore drilling platform on the spot.

And it can be taken apart and played.

Su Cheng looked up at Chai Wei. The latter smiled innocently and said, "Anyway, if you can do it, it will be a good business, right? I wish you success."

Nasr seemed a little impatient and said, "If you can't do it, we'll find someone else."

"Have you found someone else before?"

"We have talked with the two companies and are not very satisfied with the price and time." Nasr said calmly: "First of all, the price cannot exceed one-quarter of the total project quotation, that is, US$3 million, and the time cannot exceed two months."

The price is quite good, and it is indeed the style of Saudi Arabia's National Petroleum Corporation. Su Cheng then asked: "Which two companies have you consulted?"

"We signed a confidentiality agreement and cannot tell you the specific company. So, if you can't do it, I won't force it." Nasr didn't know what kind of exchange of interests he got. He directly gave a company the qualification to repair without passing the bidding procedures. Even in Saudi Arabia, it would violate the rules.

Su Cheng thought for a while and smiled, "Since that's the case, we've also seen your drilling platform first."

"Of course." Nasr said resolutely: "Is it okay to set out now?"

"Now? OK." Su Cheng no longer hesitated, waved to Gu Haijian, and then asked everyone a few more words before leaving.

The third generation of semi-submersible drilling platform has a very good technological content. Even if the profit is not high, it is good to learn from it.

Except for the oil-producing countries in the Persian Gulf that do not take this kind of offshore oil equipment seriously, they are like treasures in other places and are not allowed to be seen easily. In the cooperation with foreign countries, there is such an example. Foreign engineers take overall charge and are fully responsible for the maintenance and updating of equipment. Chinese engineers cannot take a look at it, and the contract stipulates that they are not allowed to watch it. Finally, the oil production in China's waters ended, the shipowner pulled the ship away, and the resources were exchanged for technology. In the end, what was changed? No one could tell.

Today, OPEC is not yet mature, and Gulf countries are still focusing on onshore oil. By the end of the 1990s, oil prices were high. When Gulf countries also began to play with offshore oil equipment, no matter whether they could make it out, there would be very few opportunities to look at the equipment.

At least you have to sign a series of contracts to see the real thing.

With a tourism mentality, Sucheng took a business plane from Saudi Petroleum Corporation and arrived directly to Jeddah Port.

When I arrived at the place, I saw the rusty "Sea Dian No. 6" and found out that this guy had been shut down for two years.

Nasr said comfortably: "The oil price has dropped in the past two years, and the lease period for Haidian No. 6 has arrived. If you can't rent it out for a while, you can only stop."

"Didn't the platform be cooled down?" Gu Haijianyuan looked at the drilling platform in the dry dock and said with a little heartache: "It's a waste to put such a good machine here."

The next sentence he said, the translator didn't translate it, and he gave him some face.

Su Cheng thought to himself that for Saudi Arabia, what is it like to waste a offshore drilling platform? Just pulling out a royal family will be a waste of life.

Nasr said with some expectations: "No one expected that it would be suspended for 2 years. We are now preparing to restart the 'Sea Diamond No. 6'. If you can get it back into the applicable state, then sign the contract."

"Don't be so anxious, let's take a look first."

Nasr is really not in a hurry. He waits quietly and prepares a lot of delicious food.

Su Cheng and Gu Haijian changed into work clothes and drilled into the dilapidated offshore drilling platform. Although they could not conduct a comprehensive inspection, looking at some key equipment, they could still see that the platform was damaged in Chengdu.

Both of them were surprised by this examination.

The so-called damage is almost equivalent to the platform sinking into the sea and fishing it up again. One of the diesel engines had been running for 56,000 hours without overhaul. Two of the three cranes were paralyzed, and the remaining one was not running smoothly. Another nameplate was a used mud pump in 1984. The crankshaft was full of cracks and it seemed that it could not be used anymore...

It was not until evening that Sucheng got off the platform.

Nasr put away his arrogant look he pretended in Abu Dhabi at this time and asked carefully: "How is it?"

"3 million US dollars is too little. We have to do a comprehensive assessment to know which parts need to be replaced. Now it seems that there will be many parts to be replaced."

Nasr was not surprised, laughed and said, "Then let's have a meal first and then talk."

Sucheng now knew that other companies were unwilling to do it, and he also saw that the situation was serious.

However, this is a good opportunity for Dahua Industry.

Instead of moving, Su Cheng asked, "Does your budget be stuck?"

"Yes." Nasr was helpless. He actually knew that $3 million was more than enough to repair a general offshore drilling platform, but it was a bit insufficient for this offshore drilling platform that was equivalent to two years of unmaintained.

However, Saudi Petroleum is a large bureaucratic organization. Once the budget is made, the difficulty of revising it is beyond imagination. It is better to repair it casually.

Su Cheng was very satisfied with his answer and said, "We can take over this offshore drilling platform for $3 million. However, it is impossible to use original parts, we can only replace parts made in China."

"How can that work?"

"We also provide warranty services. Even if the performance is worse than the original one, it will not be much worse." Su Cheng said, leaving another tail: "Except for us, it is impossible for other companies to repair this big guy for $3 million."
