Chapter 86 Image of Chinese Entrepreneur

Su Cheng on the stage seemed to have no idea, and he just turned his face slightly and avoided the dazzling flash. He thought to himself: Halliburton has a pretty good connection, and he has invited so many reporters.

He thought there were as many reporters on the left and right.

This is certainly impossible!

For the reporters, although the old men sitting on the left are in charge of hundreds of billions of funds and the fate of hundreds of thousands of employees, they are just a few old bureaucrats who are gaining power by selling oil resources.

Only Sucheng, which represents Dahua Industrial on the right, is weak and young, but has a prosperous vitality and vigorous ability, which is the image of a Chinese entrepreneur.

Almost all central and local media rushed to the right and attacked Sioux City with flash lights.

The reporters who stayed on the left were mostly media people in the petroleum and petrochemical system, and they could not help but count.

Due to the small number of flashes, the few people on the left side of the stage could see the contrast between the two sides. They were secretly helpless and a little surprised by Su Cheng's popularity. As the secretary who was about to retire, Bo Rong could face the rise of this young man calmly. Director Mu, who represented the oil department, wrinkled his face as if he was constipated, and thought to himself: As soon as today comes, Su Cheng will be well known in the oil system. If he can't suppress him, this kid will be retaliated, which is a big deal.

The people watching the ceremony below were even more surprised.

Even old-established companies like Daqing can only be the purchaser of Halliburton. Dahua Industrial has actually become the supplier of Halliburton. Wouldn't that mean that none of the petrochemical companies in China can catch up with Dahua Industrial?

If it were an insider, he would probably not have such a ridiculous conclusion. But in the eyes of gentlemen outside the oil system, the thing is that simple: Chinese oil companies buy things from Halliburton, Halliburton buy things from Dahua Industrial, Chinese oil companies are Halliburton's downstream manufacturers, while Dahua Industrial is Halliburton's upstream manufacturers...

This idea can be said to be very one-sided. However, many people do not pursue comprehensive conclusions.

Especially journalists, they are good at sensationalism. They finally have such a basic version, so they don’t know how to use it.

Someone has already made a fuss: China's oil engine industry has been reshuffled, not only foreign giants have entered, but also local companies have risen. Dahua Industrial, an unknown company, suddenly stood among the oil giants...

The man was happy as he thought about it, and said happily: "This Dahua is really a bit amazing. Is it an international oil machinery factory?"

"It's not an oil machinery factory, but a product and service supplier." Director Huo said proudly with his neck tilted.

His low-key correction immediately aroused greater interest from the reporters and immediately asked: "What goods are Dahua Industrial supplying to Halliburton?"

“Oiling machine.”

"The oil production machine for mining oil?" The man was still remembering desperately, and asked, "Which unit do you belong to?"

"I'm from Dahua Industrial."

"Hey, if you don't know Mount Tai, then you must accept my interview."

"No problem." Director Huo had long seen the flash on the stage and was jealous. While posing for a cadre's travel, he smiled foolishly: "When your newspaper comes out, I will definitely buy a few more and take them back and hang them..."

Director Huo's style is very classic. Standing among the crowd, he has both a pioneering appearance and a generous picture in every move.

The reporter said with appreciation: "Director Huo must often go to newspapers. This posture is well-posed."

Director Huo couldn't say that he had practiced at home. While keeping his shape motionless, he let out a heavy "hmm" and asked again: "Have you taken it?"

"Oh? No." The reporter lowered his head and wrote something.

"Snapshot."

The reporter was stunned for two seconds before he suddenly realized and said regretfully: "I am a text reporter, sorry, the photographer is in front of me."

On the stage, the host waited for a while before continuing: "Now, please let friends from all parties witness the signing of Halliburton with five Chinese partners... Halliburton promised to provide Daqing Oilfield with more than 1,000 top-drive drilling devices, more than 1,000 sets of directional drilling equipment, and more than 35,000 machine-time real-time drilling services to Shengli Oilfield... Provide complete sets of marine drilling equipment, 10,000-meter-level logging winches, 7,000-meter-level hydraulic logging trucks, more than 1,000 mud pumps... Procure no less than 2,000 special oil pumps from Dahua Industrial..."

Perhaps for the sake of good sound, Halliburton added the word "special" in front of the oil pump, which suddenly raised the level of Dahua Industrial.

Su Cheng smiled without saying a word and signed his name on the open contract.

The same is true for the red-haired foreigner next to him.

The applause from the audience was rumbling, and the flash lights rose again. This time, the smiles of the oil field leaders were barely much stronger. They bought the goods with the US dollars earned from selling oil, while Dahua Industrial made the US dollars. However, several people were also curious about the "special oil pump".

Those who signed the signatures were executives with the vice president and above Halliburton. After saying a few words to Sucheng, they exchanged contracts and took photos, and then went back and had their own staff responsible for China to take over.

Jansen is a British man with a prominent chin. He came to greet Siucheng in London-like English and smiled and said, "Sorry, I didn't see you in advance. The plane was so hurrying."

Su Cheng shook hands with him, and there was another flash in the audience.

Jensen smiled even more. In the eyes of foreigners, his strength was equal to media attention. He couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect Dahua Industrial to be so popular. You should be a powerful oil equipment company in China."

"There are still some advantages in technology." Su Cheng didn't want to underestimate himself for the first time when we met. He paused for a moment, but asked curiously in English: "What's going on with this partner in China?"

"Sorry, there was no notice before. It was like this. We originally identified three Chinese regional partners, namely Daqing, Shengli and Changqing... However, due to the requirements of Baoji Petroleum Machinery Factory, we found two omissions. The first is that there are no oil equipment companies, and the second is that there are only buyers and no suppliers, which are not very good-looking." Jansen explained in detail. Foreign companies have various speculations about China and attach importance to fairness when doing things, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble. The Chinese public's favorability towards foreign companies was established during this period and maintained for a considerable period of time.

"It should be a good thing to be able to understand, partners." Su Cheng has heard a lot of words like partners in his later generations, unlike the ordinary public, who are confused.

Jansen nodded immediately and smiled: "Partners have many rights and obligations, but it should be beneficial to your company. We will also ask partner companies to guarantee each other priority repayment and priority transportation of partner companies' equipment procurement, equipment leasing, personnel allocation and other projects and work. In addition, if you need it, you can also borrow our branches around the world..."

This is actually an unequal policy. Because Halliburton is strong and Chinese companies are weak, the latter naturally receives relatively preferential policies. This is also because the other four state-owned enterprises are really rich, which can bring Halliburton more than 100 million US dollars in revenue every year, while also helping them explore new Chinese markets...

From Halliburton's perspective, ensuring the interests of partners will naturally guarantee their interests.

As it turns out, in the 1980s, all foreign giants who did this received more than imagined rewards.

Su Cheng thought to himself: This time he took advantage. What is Halliburton's requirement for China is probably looking for Shengli Oilfield instead of Dahua Industrial. For example, the requirement of priority collection and priority procurement is that Dahua originally did. People gave US dollars, so we will naturally send the things first.

As they spoke, the reporters gradually dispersed and each interviewed.

Su Cheng politely rejected the two media outlets and was a little more leisurely.

At this time, Secretary Liu from Daqing Oilfield, led by Bo Rong, came with a smile and asked: "Director Su, your Dahua Industry still has a secret weapon. I just asked Secretary Bo if he knew what the special oil extraction machine was, and Secretary Bo didn't know..."

Su Cheng laughed silently and said, "The special oil harvester is a double donkey-headed oil harvester, which is added by others."

"Double-headed oil harvester?" For the secretary of Daqing Oilfield, such a term may not arouse much interest even if it appears on his desk.

Su Cheng took the opportunity to explain and said, "Daqing Oilfield has distributed more than 10,000 double-headed oil harvesters. In this regard, I guarantee that the quality of oil recovery engines provided to domestic and foreign countries is the same."

"Where is the price?" Secretary Liu joked: "It cannot be based on the price given to foreigners."

"We all have a profit of 10 in China, and foreign countries collect US dollars. At the exchange rate of RMB, the profit does not exceed 30..."

People around him suddenly burst into laughter. The RMB exchange rate was underestimated by about twice, which added a profit of 30... While several oil field cadres laughed, they were also secretly stunning: the profits of oil equipment are too great, and they are simply more profitable than oil...

So someone asked about the sales situation again, and Su Cheng said it without any hesitation. Dahua Industrial started out with technology and would also rely on technology to make a living in the future. With the complexity of foreign equipment, Halliburton was their best advertisement.

When the press conference was about to end, more than 20 people were leaving Sucheng's business card, and he also received a large number of visit invitations, all of which were potential users.

After a while, Jameson solemnly handed Su Cheng an invitation letter and said, "In a few days it will be Christmas. The US Embassy in China has a very grand dinner and dance party. I hope Mr. Su can attend."

"Sure." Su Cheng was surprised and accepted it. Looking at it, it was a company invitation letter, and no more than 6 pairs of men and women could enter the US Embassy to attend the Christmas party.

"I believe many people like the pure American Christmas dinner in the 1980s." Su Cheng held a curious attitude, but he did not expect that in Beijing, today, there were many people working hard for this place.
