The simple basketball court of Dahua Petrochemical Company was changed to an "interview" venue. Eight basketball racks were suppressed by cement boards, covered with white cloth, and red slogans were placed on them, which looked like a look.

The warm sunlight shines through the window lattices and shines into a group of small buildings facing south. The building is only two stories high, and it is painted with white powder outside. It looks sad and anxious and has no aesthetic sense at all. But it is built fast enough. When the construction site lays sewer pipes, the building starts to be built. Before the sewer is completed, the building is completed.

In view of amazing efficiency, Sucheng stubbornly endured the vulgar buildings. The small building was originally an administrative building, and 24 offices were arranged. Now 10 have been vacated, and officials and entrepreneurs with higher status have been placed in, and chairs are placed in the open windows, so as to serve as stands.

The demolition of the temporary building on the remaining three sides of the basketball court truly reflects the definition of temporary, and the remaining two sides are filled with machinery and roads. The domineering petrochemical pipelines are like countless shrinking roller coasters, winding and interlacing, each leading to the place where they should go, like steel vines surrounding bushes of varying heights, endless, and no end can be seen.

Ding Zhipeng and another State Council leader sat in the middle, stared at the petrochemical pipeline outside for a moment, and said, "I haven't seen each other for a few months, so I'm really fast. When will it be officially put into production?"

"It will be almost done in two or three months. If this interview is passed, it can be tested and then officially put into production."

"This is Dahua's speed!" Ding Zhipeng puffed out his palms.

The official sitting in the middle was the same age as him, with warm and white skin. His eyebrows were clasped with the word "chuan" and it was obvious when he was calm. He smiled reservedly and followed Ding Zhipeng's words: "Dong Su is very sensible, Dahua is very efficient, and I hear it from time to time in Beijing. Some of our comrades are just the opposite."

Ding Zhipeng leaned his body and smiled and said, "Director Mao has a story."

The two of them were the highest-level cadres on the scene. Others sat or stood around them. They smiled and their ears were raised, all of whom were good listeners who had been experienced for many years. Following Ding Zhipeng's words, they immediately responded quickly and said, "Please tell us."

Everyone likes to tell stories, and Director Mao is no exception. The Sichuan character on his brow is slightly relieved, and he said in a slightly cordial tone: "It's not a story. I'll tell you a little experience, and I'll remind our cadres. That is, a few months ago, in order to welcome the Formosa Plastics' large ethylene project, only half of the small ethylene projects in the country were suspended. Some cadres came to the committee to cry and said that it was the 30,000 tons of ethylene project that I finally applied for. I stopped it and couldn't figure it out. I told him that the project applied for in 1986 was approved in 1987, and it took three years. Why hasn't it been built yet? If it is completed, how could it be stopped... Dahua's project made me feel moved. The infrastructure construction in 3 months is completed and put into production in 3 months. Such a gap is shocking!"

Everyone nodded, showing deep thoughts on their faces.

Senior cadres never talk about the matter. Director Mao waited for two seconds. He smiled at Wang Sheng on the side and said, "Formosa Plastics must also learn from Dahua. The petrochemical base will be completed and put into production one day earlier, and the reward will be obtained sooner. Haicang and Fuzhou-Kang areas can also generate chain benefits. The domestic ethylene project approval cannot last too long, otherwise, if local cadres make trouble, we will be very passive."

He was reminding Formosa Plastics. Wang Sheng had no choice but to say "yes" with a hilarious look.

Director Mao laughed, pulled the topic out again, and said, "When I was flying yesterday, I met Lao Jiao and went to the United Nations headquarters in New York. Iraq was in a mysterious situation, one resolution after another, nervous...Duke Su, Dahua's Middle East oil fields are in the UAE, has it been affected?"

The second half of 1990 was turbulent. On August 2, Iraq occupied Kuwait, and on October 3, the merger of East and West Germany. Two major events in the two places happened so quickly that it was overwhelming.

Sucheng only remembers that the last and most effective resolution of the UN Security Council on Iraq was issued in November, and even if it does not appear, it will be soon. When the resolution, which stated the final withdrawal period, was passed, the fog naturally opened.

As it was just gossip, Sucheng deliberately narrowed the issue and said: "The Setan oil field in Dahua is indeed in the UAE. Because the Persian Gulf is not very safe, I have asked the Crown Prince of the UAE to borrow several hours of oil pipelines every day to detour from Saudi Arabia."

Director Mao's eyes lit up and said, "It's not easy to borrow oil pipelines, right?"

"It's quite difficult. I found a lot of relationships to complete it. Oh, I negotiated a contract a few months ago, and it's almost impossible now." Su Cheng thought to himself, how can the benefits of $1 million a day be not difficult? To count it in time, using their oil pipeline for an hour will cost 200,000 US dollars alone. However, it's still good to have a way to bribe it. Many oil fields are blocked due to the Persian Gulf, and the oil produced cannot be transported out and there is not enough oil storage equipment, so they can only be poured back into the underground. Not to mention that the oil price has been rising steadily, even if it has not risen, this is also a loss of millions every day. When the waves are calm, the oil fields will not increase production because you inject crude oil back. The losses these days will turn into solid production losses.

Others don’t know that Director Mao was in the Development and Reform Commission, so how could he not know the importance of oil pipelines? During peacetime, the transportation costs of oil pipelines were very popular among oil fields and were usually only used by the state oil companies. Now in wartime, oil pipelines are only more important.

Director Mao heard Su Cheng relaxed and looked at him deeply, wandering outdoors, wondering what he thought of.

Ding Zhipeng sighed in his heart and also left the nature of his speech. Others reacted quickly, and someone quickly answered, keeping the atmosphere lukewarm and hot.

China in 1990 may have been the year when it had the least knowledge of the outside world since the reform and opening up. Many cadres were no exception. Even if they paid attention, they focused more on the unification of the two morals, and the topic quickly deviated.

After a while, the interview for Casali Company began.

The invited state-owned enterprises cadres such as Shangpec and Beipec gradually shifted their attention to the basketball court.

A total of 160 Dahua Petrochemical workers were interviewed. They will be the first batch of test machine operators and substitute operators. Casali must train and test them to ensure that two or three people in each position are fully mastered before the final payment can be recovered. This fee is also included in the tens of millions of dollars in equipment costs.

For Casali, testing Dahua employees is a very important responsibility. Once all operators and substitute operators pass the test and there is a problem with the test machine, mechanical failure must be considered first, and Casali will be responsible for the safety and economical test until the safety and economical test machine is successful. However, if an operator and substitute operator fail the test, the test machine cannot be carried out, and it is even more impossible to start production. Casali's work will not be completed. They must continue to train Dahua employees until everyone is qualified.

Although such terms form two constraints, the most serious constraint is the responsibility of the test machine. Because the maintenance costs incurred by the test machine are much more expensive than training.

Therefore, for large companies like Casali, the "interview" has always been strict and there is not much favor to talk about.

Su Cheng mentioned this principle a little, and everyone present immediately understood it. Everyone's eyes changed.

Ding Zhipeng asked: "Have Dahua tested it before?"

Su Cheng replied: "No."

"first?"

"first."

Ding Zhipeng couldn't help but slam the table and improved the atmosphere in a teasing tone, saying, "You guy is really brave, aren't you afraid of failing to pass and losing face in front of Director Mao?"

Director Mao indeed put aside the concept of the world and laughed: "Young people are very brave and deserve praise. See if Dahua can succeed in one go."

"I have to succeed. I don't want to fly most of China to watch the ceremony." Ding Zhipeng kept shook his head.

Everyone smiled and secretly admired Su Cheng's connections. Ding Zhipeng's relaxed words showed that the relationship between the two was very harmonious and there was a lot of information.

Casali is a Swiss company. It has nothing to do with the Chinese government. No matter how many "big people" they see, they only do their own things on the playground, placing simulated operating tables in sequence. The shape is like dismantling the operating parts, which is a simulated methanol operating system.

This simulation system is a bit like the way to train armored soldiers in the army. It is made separately for a set of steering wheels, brake throttle transmissions, and seats. Although it does not have functions, the operation method has all been provided. The examiner sets several conditions and the operator proceeds according to the instructions. The correct operation is not correct at first glance.

The entire simulated methanol operating system is a little more troublesome. The examiner sets the conditions. The operator not only needs to operate accordingly, but also pay attention to the feedback from the previous operators.

But Buckman didn't give them time to discuss, and said loudly: "The simulation operation assessment starts in 2 minutes, please take the operator in place..."

Dahua employees ran towards their positions.

What surprised Casali engineers was that most of the Dahua employees went to the right place, which was quite difficult for a chaotic simulation system with hundreds of seats. However, they didn't know that Dahua's Pudong training base had long had its own simulation system.

"Start, set the conditions, the heat pipe pressure is 8 MPa, fresh air is operated one way..." Buckmann is a Swiss of Germanic descent, tall and hoarse, standing in front of a basketball stand, as if doing defense.

As soon as he finished speaking, a Chinese employee translated the message. Then, a team leader raised the volume and said: "One single-machine empty load test run, compressor heater..."

Wang Sheng stared at the bottom without blinking, and the feeling in his heart was unclear.
