Chapter 190 Foreign Engineers

Ren He Yuwei wanted to break her head, and she didn't understand why Su Cheng was so focused on procrastinating for two months.

However, she now has great admiration for Su Cheng. She listens to what is what, and goes to investigate without saying a word.

Su Cheng thought for a while, then left the venue and went directly to Halliburton's branch.

He is actually interested in offshore FPSOs.So entrusting COSCO Shipping to do it is because of lack of energy on the one hand, and on the other hand, the qualifications of COSCO Shipping are more suitable.

The so-called "offshore floating production storage device" sounds complicated, but it is actually simple.In terms of technical conditions in the late 80s and early 90s, 90% of fpsos were rebuilt from old tankers.

The tanker itself has the ability to store oil, and floating on the sea is naturally a basic element.The only thing that needs to be improved is to give it a certain production capacity.Or preliminary treatment, or simply produce refined oil, and then transport it to the consumer country, which can reduce a lot of costs.It also reduces stress on offshore drilling platforms.

This technology, once developed, becomes an engineering competition.Due to weak technical barriers, it is indeed more difficult to install petrochemical equipment on a 10-ton or even [-]-ton tanker than on the road, but there is no qualitative change.

In the impression of Sioux City.China's large offshore engineering companies will get involved in this field in three to five years at most. By 12 years, FPSO has already become the world of Chinese companies.Unless the RMB returns to the era of 3.7, the annual expenditure of 20 Chinese workers.It will definitely beat the European and American workers with an annual expenditure of 15 US dollars to the teeth.

Of course, the earlier this time is, the more benefits you will get. For 12-year offshore oil engineering personnel, the junior annual salary is also 05 to 10. In [-], the salary of senior workers was only about [-].The rest can be used for technical transformation to further increase the potential, even if some fat water occasionally flows out.It is also a controllable expenditure, after all, it stays in the country.

Americans actually know that the main points of competition for fpso lie in engineering level and manpower.Therefore, Halliburton only conducts research and has not yet entered the market. They are service providers. Even if customers request fpso, they may also outsource it.For the same reason, Sioux City is not very interested in engineering companies. In the final analysis, this is a labor-intensive industry, and the manpower and management costs will be the highest. If it wants to occupy the global fpso market.At least 50 million workers are required.

Sioux City has no confidence in managing so many people, and neither do Americans.

Therefore, when Jason saw Sioux City, he had indeed obtained the approval of the head office, other than congratulations.No comments either.Instead, the engineers sent by Halliburton were drinking coffee with their necks raised, ignoring Sioux City and Jason, and just talking to each other.Laughter from time to time.

"I'm sorry, they just came from China, and they are engineers seconded by the headquarters. The headquarters specially poached a few engineers for this merger. Five of them were recruited from Europe this time." Jason explained the two sentence.

Of the 12 engineers, the younger ones probably only graduated from college, the older ones were already gray-haired, and none of them were middle-aged in their 50s or [-]s.There are also two guys among them, whiskey and vodka, drinking very happily, as if they were in a state of falling asleep when they were drunk.

Engineers need a certain amount of physical strength. If you are too young, you will lack experience, and if you are too old, you will lose energy.From the point of view of future generations in Suzhou City, the 12 people in front of them can be regarded as old, weak, sick and disabled.

However, something is better than nothing.The Chinese don't understand FSSO at all, and Sioux City also knows what it is but doesn't know why. Even directional guidance will have a decisive impact on the rapid completion of the joint venture factory.

He didn't bother to teach the foreigners a lesson, and said in a rather indifferent manner: "They just need to work hard."

"That's for sure, everyone is a professional." Jason clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Everyone, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Su of Dahua Industrial. We Halliburton and COSCO ship The business joint venture was promoted by Mr. Su Cheng. Next, Mr. Su Cheng is also responsible for your work arrangements. "

Su Cheng nodded, stood up, and said: "The joint venture factory between COSCO Shipyard and Halliburton is located in Tianjin, and we will go there now. Your job is to train a group of workers of comparable level. This is also What our contract requires..."

Seeing Su Cheng walking out the door, a young man hurriedly asked, "Shall we go now? We haven't lost the jet lag yet."

"It's too late to inspect when we get in the car." Su Cheng said a word, got on the bus and waited.

In about a minute, foreigners came up sparsely. In the end, the two were carrying a drunk guy and were about to move it into the car. Su Cheng blocked him and said, "Stay here. You can't work if you're so drunk. Mr. Johnson, please Tell the headquarters, and another engineer will come over..."

Jason persuaded tactfully: "If you send him back, the headquarters may not be able to send someone at any time. Just give a warning and forget it."

Su Cheng shook his head and said, "Getting drunk during working hours is at least dereliction of duty. After you fire him, hire a useful engineer. In your contract, it's like this, so it's okay to fire him."

Jason looked at Su Cheng in surprise.What he saw in China was all life-long employment, which was stricter than ever before.Su Cheng immediately thought of dismissing the employees, but he really didn't expect it.

Su Cheng winked at him, and said with a smile: "When I was reading, I was taught that in order to gain a foothold in a new company, fire the first employee who expressed objections, and fire the second employee who complained. It’s pure, isn’t that how American companies do it?”

Jason was stunned for a while, then smiled and said: "When I return to the company and become the big boss, I will try the method I used."

The two of them spoke in front of all the engineers without paying any attention.The previously high-spirited foreigner suddenly died down.

In 1989, the world economy started to go down, and tenured employees often didn't understand it deeply, or the economic downturn or austerity was relatively beneficial to tenured employees.For ordinary foreign employees, the risk of losing their jobs is greatly increased at this time.During Reagan's presidency, and during Clinton's presidency, Americans liked to fire their bosses.Ordinary workers have to think twice when Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. are on stage.

For the 11 engineers on the bus, as long as they work normally, relatively complete contract guarantees will naturally protect them and help them despise Sioux City and Jensen.However, if someone gets caught, such as being drunk during working hours, whether he can keep his job depends on the attitudes of Jason and Sioux City.

When it was confirmed that Sioux City was capable of firing them, everyone's view of Sioux City changed.

The bus started slowly, Sioux Cheng and Jason continued sitting in front chatting, and the engineers behind also put away their flagons and cigars, silently.

The car is a classic Volvo b80 from the 10s, which is the bus model that can often be seen in Hong Kong movies.Judging by the Chinese standards of this era, it is a mess of comfort.The car that Su Cheng and others took was borrowed from China Shipbuilding by COSCO Shipyard.

Jansen and the others naturally didn't pay attention to the 1978 Volvo car. His attention was all on Su Cheng, and he said a little funny: "I thought you would be furious..."

Su Cheng joked: "What? My temper is not bad."

"Chinese people seem to take this kind of thing very seriously." Jason lowered his voice and said with a smile: "I once had a colleague who mistook a Chinese for a Japanese in a hotel and was scolded. If he asks this question now If you want to ask this kind of question, you must first ask 'Are you Chinese'..."

Su Cheng laughed loudly, but said after a while: "It's time for us to learn from Japan. In fact, there are many Japanese bosses in the United States now."

"It's not just a lot, it's too numerous to count. What they said, they want to buy the entire United States." Jason shook his head helplessly, and said: "It seems that they can really buy it, and the government doesn't make it. Some very precious works of art are also sold now. It was moved back to Tokyo by the Japanese, and the yen has appreciated so much, how could it have risen so much.”

If it hadn't been known about the evolution of history, Sioux City might also complain about the appreciation of the yen.After all, a country's currency appreciation, while having a considerable blow to exporters, increases their ability to buy overseas.This purchasing power can be used not only for the purchase of consumer goods, but also for the purchase of factories, mines, companies, oil fields, and artworks. In Japan in 1989, before the export industry suffered losses, they purchased at least US$3 trillion in overseas assets, which was equivalent to realizing all their struggles in the past 40 years. The benefits for ordinary people and domestic-oriented companies are self-evident.

Jensen said with a purely chatty attitude, "The current 11 engineers were supposed to be sent back in the past, but they were re-sent to China because the fpso joint venture company was confirmed to be in China."

"Oh, did you originally plan to enter into a joint venture with a Japanese company?"

"That's not true, but there is a great possibility of a joint venture with a Korean company." Jason hesitated, and said: "The daily labor increase is too high, and South Korea is not bad, and our branch in South Korea is operating very well. .”

Su Cheng glanced at him and said with a smile: "One day, the branch in China will grow."

"I hope so." Jason sighed, stood up and said, "Let me talk to them, even if you fire everyone, it will always be troublesome to send a new batch of people."

"I will keep at least one person." Su Cheng blinked narrowly, and said with a smile, "Someone must be kept to spread the corporate culture."
