Replacing original parts with cheap components is a good way to reduce costs. Civil and industrial products are no exception.

The difference is that civil products are simple to maintain and the working environment is relatively balanced. Industrial products are different. For example, offshore drilling platforms are rented into Beihai and working in Beihai. When renting into Australia, they are working in Australia. Different environments are accompanied by similar strong winds and waves and alkaline seawater. If the quality is not up to standard, it will not only cause losses, but will also lead to lawsuits.

Nasr knew that it was indeed not easy to repair a semi-destructive drilling platform for $3 million. He had asked other companies that failed to do so. However, it was still difficult for Arabs who advocated European and famous brands to use all Chinese parts.

We are not short of money!

Nasr’s favorite thing is to use a stack of money to smash European suppliers to call him a mother.

The only problem he has encountered at the moment is that his budget is insufficient.

When he was short of money, Nasr could not use all the tricks he had on weekdays. At this time, he asked a little embarrassedly: "It is okay to use replaced parts, but can you increase the scope of procurement? Compare more countries, such as 10% of parts made in China and 90% of parts made in Europe..."

"It is OK to use some parts made in Europe, but if 90%, 3 million is definitely not enough." Su Cheng laughed loudly.

Nasr really wants to say "adding money", which is also their most common method. However... the bureaucrats in the company will not give him such an opportunity. The maximum maintenance fund is 3 million, which has been decided long ago. People do not care whether this "Sea Diamond No. 6" is particularly bad or very good. When they make money, they will naturally encounter trouble.

For Nasr, this is the time for trouble.

He looked at Chai Wei, then at Su Cheng, and finally said: "If you use a large amount of Chinese parts, we may not easily agree to this repair. You can do an evaluation first. Try to focus on parts made in Europe."

"Of course." Su Cheng was not opposed to the evaluation and turned to Gu Haijian and said, "You go to find a third-party professional inspection company to conduct a comprehensive evaluation."

In fact, even if he wants to use Chinese parts 100%, it is impossible. For example, whether things like diesel engine crankshafts can be replaced is difficult to say. Even on Dahua Industrial’s drilling platform, there are still 20 to 30% of foreign imported parts. Therefore, the so-called use of Chinese parts in Sucheng is to use 60 to 70%...

But this idea cannot be expressed. On the one hand, there is room for nothing, and on the other hand, it also means that it will not increase the other party's sense of distrust.

Saudi Petroleum Group uses the best products produced by the world's best companies and pays the most. If they know that half of the parts that Dahua Industrial can produce have just passed, it will be difficult to negotiate later.

Gu Haijian soon invited an inspection company in the UAE and asked them to bring equipment to Saudi Arabia for inspection. The workload of comprehensive inspection is a lot and there is also a lot of equipment required. In the oil equipment industry, it has also become a specialized business, where professionals operate professional machines and carry them in professional methods. In addition to super-large oil companies, ordinary oil companies outsource this business.

If a third-party company conducts the inspection, the conclusion will be relatively fair.

The entire inspection work lasted for 10 days. The scope of the inspection includes drilling system equipment, mud system equipment, well control equipment, underwater equipment, power system equipment, electrical equipment, platform ballast control system, ballast pump chamber, pipeline system platform anchor system, deck machinery, safety fire protection facilities, communication systems, platform structure and equipment maintenance records and spare parts storage, etc., and finally a report was issued.

On the second day of the inspection, the China International Petroleum Exhibition in Abu Dhabi also ended. Looking at the smiles of Secretary-General Gan and Ding Zhipeng, Su Cheng knew that the meeting goals were basically achieved. Dahua Industrial received an order of more than 20 million US dollars, which was a full return.

More than 20 engineers, half of whom continued to return to China to do their research, were the rest of them heading to Saudi Arabia and also visited the third-generation semi-submersible drilling platform.

Dahua Industrial and Halliburton have created a platform that is second and a half. The third generation is still on the design drawings. Nowadays, there are ready-made third-generation drilling platforms that can be detached, which is the best thing for researchers.

Soon, the engineer and the people from the testing company buried their heads in the drilling platform.

The semi-submersible drilling platform is a drilling platform with most of its floating bodies not below the water surface. It has a high technical content. The sixth generation offshore drilling platform made by CNOOC and CNY 20 years later is the semi-submersible offshore drilling platform. However, in 1989, China has been in nearly 20 years and has never been exposed to such high-end offshore oil.

Not to mention in-depth contact.

On the other hand, the semi-submersible offshore drilling platform is also developed by a base-based offshore drilling platform, which is in line with the technology of Dahua Industrial. These engineers of the company can always get it.

Therefore, as the inspection increases, the more engineers learn, the more interested they are, and the longer they work.

Although the Saudis only believe in European products and are a little disdainful of American products, they are still very scared when they see the Chinese working for more than ten or twenty hours a day.

Nasr was very worried that someone would die suddenly or be seriously injured, and repeatedly asked Sucheng to reduce the working hours of workers to within 8 hours.

Su Cheng ignored him and just asked everyone to try their best to rest, freely allocate time, and arranged a doctor's physical examination.

After all, such an opportunity is rare. For Chinese researchers, working in China is also like this. The effect in Saudi Arabia is better, so there is naturally no reason to rest.

Only in Saudi Arabia, which does not pay attention to technology, can we unscrupulously dismantle and study the third-generation offshore drilling platform in this way. If it is a drilling platform for European and American countries, or Japanese, Korean and Singapore ship owners, such qualifications as Dahua Industrial, there is no hope of getting on board.

What's more, the third-generation offshore drilling platform generally has less than 10 years of working hours. Except for countries like Saudi Arabia, who would stop the new drilling platform for two years without taking any cold stop measures?

If there was no such a long time of stopping, there would naturally be no need to disassemble them all for inspection and repair, and there would be no such wonderful research opportunities.

At this time, Su Cheng thanked Chai Wei a little. The opportunity they provided was that although there were few orders for drilling platforms that generated obvious benefits, the effect of technology improvement was the same.

The comprehensive inspection took 20 days, and when the results were announced, more than one company in Dahua Industrial appeared. Halliburton, the United States and Hydru, Norway, also appeared at the same time.

Halliburton sent a group of people during the exhibition. Jansen was with him as a consultant. Lao Bai's face was a little rosy. When he saw Su Cheng, he smiled and said, "I heard that Dahua Industrial participated, so I thought I could meet Mr. Su."

"How did you achieve at the exhibition?"

"Of course, it's not as good as Mr. Su." The foreigner with a red nose smiled a little disappointedly, saying, "Director Su has only sold $600,000 per unit. How much is the profit?"

"Aren't you from Halliburton? You don't know the cost of our joint venture?" Sucheng looked at Jensen.

The latter coughed and introduced: "This is our sales director, New Zealander, Bertos."

Su Cheng suddenly realized that no wonder he looked red, probably because he was a mixed-race of Maori people.

Bertos had a bad impression of Siu City. He muttered a few words that were not in line with the market economy and went to find Saudis to be cute.

Su Cheng smiled and asked Jansen: "Do you still want to take this maintenance mission?"

Jansen hesitated for a moment and whispered: "If Saudi Arabia intends to start mining offshore oil, Halliburton will definitely not miss this opportunity."

"Do you have the ability to fully repair the third-generation platform?" Sucheng looked at Jansen with a very demeanor. Halliburton did not study too much on offshore drilling platforms. Their current main force is still in the joint venture with Sucheng.

It can be said that the engineers of Halliburton's offshore drilling platform are now working for Sucheng, and their level is probably not as good as Dahua Industrial.

Jansen is the head of the China region, so he naturally knows this and said helplessly: "Bertos insists, and I have no choice."

Su Cheng shook his head and said, "You also let him make a fool of himself. He made a fool of himself during the exhibition, but how many orders were signed out? Now he wants to compete with Dahua Industrial again? This time, Halliburton not only fails to get the cost, but also has no strength."

Bertos turned back at some point and listened to the next half sentence, saying, "Since Chinese companies can do it, we, Halliburton, can do it. Although I don't understand technology, I know how to compare simply. Halliburton is better than Chinese companies. If Chinese companies can accept orders, Halliburton can accept it."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when the comprehensive appraisal report comes out."

"Okay, our engineers are waiting." Bertos was very tough.

Within a few minutes, the third-party appraisal company sent the specific information. The Arab from the UAE Oil Company held the folder and said on the spot: "According to our inspection, in the past two years, the platform has rarely or has not been maintained and lacks any cold shutdown or sealing arrangements, which has had an adverse impact on the mechanical parts of various equipment of the platform. The structure and machinery of the platform have been severely damaged due to continuous erosion. If the platform wants to continue drilling operations, it must carry out enhanced maintenance and repair work. Among them, 45 direct repair projects, 16 statutory and classification society inspection projects, 11 single procurement projects, and 4 Jijia service projects... a total of 81 items..."

The engineers around Bertos turned green when they heard "severely damaged" and when they heard 45 direct repair projects, they were completely abstract.

In terms of their cost, every direct repair project means a cost of $100,000, which is naturally terrible.

The engineer lay on Bertos' shoulder to explain to him. The man from Heidlu, Norway, whispered for a moment and said, "We have questions about the repair costs."
