Chapter 505 The Free Market

The Caspian Sea oil circle in the early 90s, just like the Middle East oil circle in the early 70s, is on the prelude of blowout development.There are many oil companies here, not only super oil development companies, but also part-time oil exploration companies and oil drilling companies. As for marginal companies such as oil storage and transportation or oil finance, there are more.

BP Petroleum Company can be regarded as a giant Buddha in the world's oil circle. Dukat, the technical director, has traveled all over the world. Compared with his colleagues who often travel to the Middle East, people like Dukat are more aggressive. The power they hold is also greater, and they can often make important decisions on the spot.

When Timothy saw Ducat, he suddenly had a bad feeling, and his mind turned quickly.

Ducat also saw Timmy, but he swept it away as if looking at the scenery.After a while, Dukat came to Su Cheng with a cane.

His legs are a little lame, but with a civilized stick, he walks basically without ups and downs, which makes him look like an old gentleman familiar to Chinese people.

I saw Dukat stretching out his hand slowly, and said with a smile in English with an accent: "Please allow me to introduce myself, my humble Dukat is in charge of bp's technology purchase, patent authorization, and scientific research equipment procurement. I heard that Dahua The industry has made cheap carbon fiber, which has kept the cost extremely low, I will come here immediately, hoping to inspect it, and I won’t disturb you.”

"We're done talking." Sioux City nodded to Tim West, as if unaware of the competition between the two parties.

Dukat reacted very quickly, and the interface said: "In this case, please let Chairman Su get in the car and talk with me. My legs and feet are not good, so I can't take a walk with you and chat."

After getting into his car, it was naturally inconvenient for Timothy to follow.

So, amidst Sioux Cheng's farewell sound, Tim West watched Sioux Cheng get into Ducat's car eagerly, and suddenly felt depressed that his steak was taken away.

Compared to buying cheap carbon fiber in bulk, Timsey naturally wants to get this kind of carbon fiber technology.With the current pace of development of oil companies, there are too many places where carbon fiber is used.Although tens of dollars a kilogram of carbon fiber is still expensive.But this set of technology involves some basic patents, so the value is hard to say.This point can be understood by looking at the booming electronics industry.

However, there will always be various uncertainties in the matter of estimation. Therefore, before meeting Ducat, Timsey wanted to talk slowly, at least carefully reviewing patents and technical points.I didn't expect to meet a vulture-like figure like Ducat when I went out, and he dragged Su Cheng away.

Such a competitive competitor.Immediately raised Timsey's expectations and allowed him to push the value of cheap carbon fiber up a notch.

Tim West himself is the vice president of Halliburton, but he is not good at technology. On the contrary, the technical director of bp company is the technical authority of the industry. Got a lot of money in return.

What makes Timsey most anxious is that Ducat has a lot of funds that can be used.Since bp company began to implement their famous elephant strategy, bp company often chooses not to buy the right one.Only buy expensive strategies.

Such behavior will naturally drive up the market price.

Before Tim could go back, he patted his head on the side of the street and said, "Let the group's technical department focus on analyzing the value of Dahua's carbon fiber. I want to get a report as soon as possible."

The men left in a hurry.Ayman and Timsi were left on the side of the road.

Ayman was already interested in Timsi, and now the opportunity came.With a slight step on his feet, Lingbo turned to Timmy and said with a smile, "Mr. Timmy hasn't eaten yet..."

"I have to go back to the company, there are too many things." Timothy rejected Ayman a little bluntly, he was indeed in a hurry to go back and explain the situation.

How could Ayman let him go so easily, and said enthusiastically: "I'll see you off. My car has the license plate of the presidential palace, and the journey is unimpeded."

There was no traffic jam in Almaty in 93. She said it was unimpeded, even the traffic lights can be broken at will. This is also a privileged behavior inherited by Kazakhstan from the Soviet Union. Many departments, including the oil sector, have considerable privileges. of.

Timothy hesitated.He nodded and said, "Thank you then."

Ayman showed his good teeth with a smile, and his buttocks swayed like a shark's tail. He picked Timmy into the car, patted the front seat, and waited for the car to start. He had nothing to say: "Mr. Is the carbon fiber you want to buy a very important thing?"

"It depends on the quality and price of their carbon fiber. If the quality is good enough, the price is really only one-tenth, or one-fourth of the current price, and it is already a very promising product." Musi simply explained a few sentences.

Ayman seemed to be a good student, and asked curiously: "Then you said that you want to buy technology, can you develop better carbon fiber?"

"Halliburton is the largest system solution provider, so it can naturally develop better carbon fiber... If it can meet the t300 standard and one-tenth of the cost, it is not an exaggeration to say that it will change the carbon fiber market." In Ms. Complimenting, Timmsey states his goals.

Most of the current European and American markets are occupied by cheap Japanese carbon fiber.Some companies have given up the carbon fiber market and withdrew completely, and some companies have turned to carbon fiber equipment and moved upstream. Halliburton also has such plans.

However, for new materials such as carbon fiber, the investment in equipment is high and the risk is high, and the average profit can only be said to be meager. Halliburton continued to study in order not to be completely kicked out of the market.God knows when carbon fiber will become a petrochemical product with an annual output value of hundreds of billions. If it is gone now, there will be no future dividends.

If you can make a complete set of cheap fibers and return to the carbon fiber production market, that would be a great achievement.However, average quality and ultra-low prices are not so easy to achieve, which is why companies like Halliburton set their goals so high in the first place.In Dahua Industrial, Sioux City did not dare to have such unrealistic fantasies.

For Chinese companies, it is impossible to make the t300 regardless of cost, let alone low cost.

Ayman felt itchy when he saw Timsi thinking, and he looked extremely admiring, and said with a smile: "You can definitely change the market. I know that people like you are born to change the world. "

What he said immediately excited Timothy.

When he reached his position, besides endless money and endless power, what he wanted was to change the world and leave his name in history.

In this way, Timothy felt pleasing to the eye when he saw Ayman, nodded and said: "It is really necessary to study Dahua Industrial's carbon fiber technology. Even if the quality of carbon fiber is not good, it is very rare to find it cheap. Japan is very good at this. It has made achievements, but looking at the current level of textiles in China, it seems that it has more experience in reducing costs."

Whatever he said, Ayman would probably nod his head and say yes, but Sucheng is a new enemy, and he can't forget it even if he wants to.Ayman couldn't help but said: "Dahua Industrial's technology is so good? Can't you develop new technologies yourself?"

Timothy was not clear about the situation, and shook his head and explained: "If this kind of cheap fiber is in line with the market, as long as the other party is willing to invest, it will definitely improve in terms of quality and cost. We will start from scratch. If we can't keep up with their speed , It will definitely become a loss, it is better to cooperate."

"You guys must be better than theirs." Ayman wanted to cheer up.

Timothy shook his head vigorously and said, "You don't understand. It's not easy to do well and cheaply. It's very difficult just for the cost of research and development. On average, each researcher needs an investment of 15 US dollars. It is too slow to use less, and it is not cheap fiber if it is used too much.”

As he spoke, he patted the front seat involuntarily, and ordered: "Drive faster, I'm going back to the company."

"So, the company in Sioux City has produced something amazing?" Ayman finally understands why a company like Dahua Industry has been protected and recognized by his father.

"It's worth at least an oil field." Timothy said unconsciously, looking out the window.

Such a description couldn’t be more clear to Ayman, even if she wasn’t interested at first, she has become very interested now, and asked quickly, “Do you mean the value of an oil field, or the continuous income generated? "

"Yes, what will happen in the future depends not only on the carbon fiber market, but also on their respective levels. By the way, can you book the fastest flight for me? To China, there will be more people." Tim West Say what comes to mind.There are direct flights between China and Kazakhstan, but the capacity is not high, and the frequency has not reached the level of one flight per day. It is difficult to buy tickets temporarily.

Of course, this is nothing to the privileged Ayman, she asked straightforwardly: "How many tickets do you want?"

"Zhang, bring more people, and the evaluation will be faster."

This number surprised Ayman for a moment. With so many people traveling, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as grand for European companies.

However, what made Ayman even more unexpected was that when she sent someone to buy a ticket, she received a reply of "sold out", and she couldn't even add more flights.

After careful inquiry, it turned out that many oil companies were going to China, which instantly dried up the few sources of tickets.

Sioux City also encountered the problem of tight ticket sources. Fortunately, the Petroleum Corporation chartered flights all the year round, so that he would not fall behind most companies.

In fact, when he arrived in Shanghai, several companies operating in China had arrived earlier.

When Sioux City's plane landed at Hongqiao Airport, what I saw was not only the pick-up team from Dahua Industrial, but also the pick-up team from the local government and other governments.

Under the slogan "Welcome foreign-funded enterprises to inspect the local investment environment", there are not only the local China Merchants Bureau, but also the staff of the China Merchants Bureau from the Shanghai Office of other places, staring at the passageway.

There are even more agile staff who broke through the barriers of various guards, sent small cards to everyone, and said in their mouths like chanting: "5 US dollars for capital verification, free travel for a week! No investment, no need, small car Pick up, free market!"
