Chapter 85 Suppliers
If you make foreign exchange, you must report to many departments. The State Administration of Foreign Exchange, the People's Bank of China, the Ministry of Petroleum, Shengli Oilfield...
Su Cheng personally reported to Lin Yonggui: "Dahua Industrial has received another $3 million this time."
After explaining the details, Lin Yonggui was very moved and said, "Technology is really useful. There are many factories in our oil field, but none of them can get foreign exchange. The production cost is low, so Americans don't want it..."
Su Cheng secretly said: Where is the production cost of state-owned enterprises in our oil field? Workers' wages are indeed low, but taking things at home, wasting raw materials, and casually producing waste products has long offset the difference. You have not seen truly low-cost township enterprises.
Lin Yonggui didn't realize it and called his secretary and asked him to write a few reports.
Su Cheng suddenly felt cold and thought: If I debuted as a Chinese student, I would probably do this.
After saying goodbye to Lin Yonggui, Su Cheng went to see the secretary. The man at about 30 was frowning and his writing was as smooth as he was... In a while, when he was about to finish writing, he pulled out the thin paper from bottom to top, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the wastebasket next to him.
There are already more than ten pieces of paper balls there.
Su Cheng sighed and quietly retreated. There seemed to be the secretary's muttering behind him: the improvement of foreign trade level, the improvement of independent innovation capabilities, the improvement of industrial technology level, the enthusiasm of shareholding reform, the success of optimizing industrial structure... Zla... the improvement of foreign trade level...
The next day, it was December 15.
Halliburton's celebration ceremony was high in specifications and large in scale. It not only included the leaders of the oil, machinery, metallurgy, chemical industries, etc., but also the central leaders came to deliver speeches.
In such an occasion, Su Cheng could only hide in the corner as an audience while holding the invitation.
Looking around, almost only **oss can come on stage. The small boss can sit in front of him. It is already considered a step-by-step arrangement. Compared with that, almost no factory and mine leaders in chemical, coal and other industries can come on stage.
Halliburton is the global leader in the oil mining industry, and the many equipment they produce and manufacture are still difficult to imitate in China until the 21st century. There are not only patent barriers, but also technical gaps.
Su Cheng secretly regretted: If he had been studying for more than ten years or more time traveling for more than twenty years, the technical employees of Halliburton and other companies could only bow down and surrender.
As for now, he shook his head - using memory, he could not design something like a submersible oil pump.
Behind him, someone slapped him gently and asked, "Why are you shaking your head?"
Su Cheng turned his head and saw that it was Wang Ting in casual clothes. He couldn't help but smiled and said, "Why are you here?"
In the same dormitory, Wang Ting had the best family background and helped other classmates a lot. However, at that time, Su Cheng was a man who was willing to suffer for face. Instead, he had to make people "serve" in different ways. Now, it is also interesting to think about it.
Wang Ting went to the Ministry of Public Security to be his secretary. He was probably proud of the officialdom and pointed at someone on the stage and said, "I came with the leader. On the list of personnel at the signing ceremony, I saw your name and found it from there when I have time."
Su Cheng thought for a while and said with a smile: "Our company is going to sign a contract with Halliburton. However, the contract has been drafted, but it is just a formality."
"Who is not going through the motions?" Wang Ting said, laughing: "I couldn't understand at the time. How could anyone run to the grassroots level? Unexpectedly, you have made a fortune now..."
Su Cheng quickly interrupted him and said, "You are here too."
"This is making fun of me. I am here to do the security work. You are here to attend the contract signing ceremony..."
"The leaders and secretary of the Ministry of Public Security, who dares to use you to defend himself? When you come, you are invited to come out to meet him. Who knew that you were chosen in such a place. Could it be to save a meal?"
"Go, go. You make money from abroad, and you still have to pay for a meal." Wang Ting said, and asked in a hesitant tone: "There is rumors that you Dahua Industrial has a foreign exchange in your hands, is it true?"
Su Cheng nodded affirmatively. The "Overseas Chinese Policy" back then was very powerful, including the power of free foreign exchange. The first foreign exchange was used to buy factories in exchange for treatment, but the current foreign exchange can be kept.
Looking at Wang Ting's expression, Su Cheng smiled and asked, "What, do you want to get some foreign exchange?"
"It's my leader who wants it, and there are a lot of it." Wang Ting said in one breath, his face turned red. He rarely asked for help from studying to working.
Su Cheng can understand Wang Ting's feelings very well. As the leader's secretary, it would be fine if he did not take the initiative to solve his problems. Can he refuse the leader's specified requirements?
He patted Wang Ting on the shoulder and asked, "I can make the decision on foreign exchange, how much do you want?"
"20,000. It's USD." Wang Ting stretched out his two fingers and said embarrassedly: "I had an opportunity to go abroad a year ago. The leader wanted to buy more things..."
"It's okay to have 20,000 yuan. After today, you can just send someone to pick it up. Then you can just return it to me with the official price."
"This is not good." Wang Ting knew that it was only 50,000 yuan short of it.
"There is nothing wrong, don't forget to report my name." Su Chengxin said, with the level of your leader, that is, Xinxian, in the past two years, I will never bother to exchange foreign exchange when I go abroad in the future. I may not have such opportunities to give gifts in the future.
Wang Ting was also happy when he saw that Su Cheng really didn't care.
At this moment, the signing ceremony also began.
"Okay, I'm going up." Su Cheng patted Wang Ting's shoulder, walked up the narrow road and sat on the right.
On his side, there was only one person alone, and relatively speaking, there were four tables opposite him.
Minister Mu was also one of the representatives of the signature. He looked at Su Cheng from the opposite side and withdrew his gaze disdainfully.
After a while, five senior executives sent by Halliburton also sat opposite the tables on both sides of the left and right sides.
The host introduced in passionate voice: "Today, Halliburton China Branch will use the form of public contracts to confirm the first five partner companies in China. They are:
The purchaser is “China Daqing Oilfield”, the purchaser is “China Shengli Oilfield”, the purchaser is “China Changqing Oilfield”, the purchaser is “Baoji Petroleum Machinery Co., Ltd.”. The supplier is “Dahua Industrial Co., Ltd.”.
The host's pronunciation was clear, so everyone could understand.
It turned out that the four companies on the left were buyers, while the one on the right was actually sellers.
Leaders who are not in the oil industry can't help but quietly discuss. For those who have just learned about the gap between Halliburton and Chinese companies, the supplier "Dahua Industrial Co., Ltd." is inevitably unique.
Wang Ting also took this opportunity to whisper to the leader.
