early morning.

When the bicycle army gradually disappeared in the streets and alleys, Manager Yang opened the door and prepared to open the business. Since he was transferred to Dongying Industrial and Commercial Bank, he would go to work early every day and conduct inspections from beginning to end. This also prompted employees to go to work earlier.

The dust outside was a little heavy. Manager Yang sneezed, raised his head comfortably, and saw Su Cheng.

In an instant, Manager Yang's calves turned around. After working in a banking for 20 years, no customer could impress Manager Yang like Su Cheng.

This was the man who took away all the cash payments and millions of bank notices. The half-day besieged by depositors made Manager Yang unforgettable for his life. It was that day that Manager Yang truly had the concept of a bank run.

At this moment, looking at Su Cheng's brisk steps, Manager Yang smiled bitterly and thought to himself: Why is this person coming again?

The calves turn is the calves turn. On the surface, Manager Yang also has to greet: "Director Su, come and save money."

Since Su Cheng used 12 million yuan from this bank to buy more than 200 oil wells, he has entrusted Xiaopang to deposit two or three million yuan in the bank every week. After accumulating in the past six months, it has been 17 million yuan in cash. The preliminary expenses for Dahua Laboratory and shallow sea oil field exploration come from here.

Manager Yang hopes that Su Cheng will come to save money in person today.

However, Su Cheng shook his head gently.

Manager Yang immediately held the door and did not fall.

He was not worried about Su Cheng withdrawing money, he was afraid that Su Cheng would withdraw all the money. Not to mention how he did this month's performance, he was worried about how he lived today.

"Director Su, leave some for me." Manager Yang begged.

Su Cheng said strangely: "Save something?"

"It would be better if you could keep a little bit of everything." Manager Yang was talking about cash and quota promissory notes.

Su Cheng laughed and said, "Do you want to change careers and become a robber?"

At this time, Manager Yang woke up from his personal imagination and knew that he had missed his words. So he smirked and said, "Then what business are you here to do?"

“Get money.”

Manager Yang let out a "bang" and grabbed the door with both hands. He said intimately: You are still withdrawing money, a robber!

Sighing. Manager Yang asked again: "How much do you want to get?"

"Look at the situation first."

Manager Yang said in a heart-warming voice, "It's almost the end of the year, and the bank's deposits have dropped sharply, which is very worrying."

“Where is the loan?”

"There are more loans, but less loans are paid."

"There are so many loans. Can you also lend me some loans?" Su Cheng walked into the bank with a joke.

"You... are rich people and still need loans?" Now, unlike later generations, bank managers would chase wealthy customers to borrow loans. In 1988, the main customers were state-owned enterprises and third-level governments. Those companies that could not pay wages could pay wages from banks. However, township enterprises that needed to expand capital operations might not necessarily get loans with money.

On the other hand, inflation has also made banks cautious in lending. Even cadres who do not understand finance at all have found that banks cannot lend unlimitedly...

Because of this, in terms of business, what bank cadres like Manager Yang most hope is that customers put their money on their accounts and slowly get eaten by inflation.

The fat man’s behavior of saving money or transferring checks every week is a good customer example in Manager Yang’s eyes. Of course, if he can change the frequency of the week to every month and reduce everyone’s workload a little, it will naturally be better.

Su Cheng glanced at Manager Yang with the corner of his eyes and said with a smile: "I want to use money. There are two ways, one is to withdraw money and the other is to borrow money. You can do it as you please."

Manager Yang shook and asked in a low voice: "How much does it take to borrow?"

“It’s 10 million.”

Manager Yang shook his head desperately and said, "I don't have that much authority."

"Then get me ten million." Su Cheng and the rough exploration team members had been teaching for three months, and suddenly came back to the clever and cunning world, but they found it quite interesting and a bit funny.

Manager Yang looked at the ceiling speechlessly. Thinking about it carefully, Dongying Industrial and Commercial Bank has never seen a private large customer like Sucheng. Even those large customers, how many people can take out 3 million yuan in cash? Therefore, as the branch manager, the loans he usually approves are at the limit of millions, and he doesn't even think about tens of millions of yuan, so he flatly refused.

But Su Cheng is right. Their deposits are as huge as 17 million yuan. If they don’t give a loan, they will withdraw money. Can they stop them?

After a moment of entanglement, Manager Yang said with a short body: "Or, just borrow 5 million first, and I'll go to the head office to tell me."

Su Cheng stretched and said, "You can borrow 5 million yuan, and you can withdraw 5 million yuan in cash, cash and promissory notes for me."

Manager Yang said it was useless, so he had no choice but to issue a bank notice of 5 million yuan and promised to apply for a loan of 5 million yuan.

Su Cheng took the promissory note to Dahua Laboratory and began to convene a situation briefing meeting.

Because Shengli Machinery Factory was handed over to PetroChina, Dahua Laboratory and Dahua Industrial were actually two signs in the same unit. For example, Li Huanxiang and others transferred to Dahua Laboratory to work, but the organization was placed in Dahua Industrial. Researchers such as Liu Qiu and other Jinan Power Machinery Factory also remained unchanged and came to Dahua Laboratory to work.

In addition, dozens of senior engineers and researchers have been poached in Sucheng and more than 100 graduates have been recruited. In terms of configuration, Dahua Laboratory can be regarded as one of the top-level research institutes in China.

Gu Haijian, deputy director of the laboratory, was a researcher he specially invited back from Petrobras. At this time, he was surprised to hear Su Cheng's explanation.

He jointly invested in and produced technology with the Petroleum Corporation, mainly engaged in the development of marine oil production technology with Dahua Laboratory, and allocated patent rights based on the level of investment... In fact, the name of the Petroleum Corporation alone made him raise his eyebrows - this is equivalent to a small company with 200 people, a state oil company with millions of people, and a small company takes advantage of it.

Gu Haijian, who had been away from China for some time, looked at Su Cheng with extremely incomprehensible eyes.

For example, Liu Qiu, Li Huanxiang and others were inevitably a little proud. Gu Haijian's status as a returnee always put a lot of pressure on them.

After a while, Gu Haijian, who is still the most familiar with marine oil mining, asked: "Dr. Su, where will we study it?"

The technical scope of offshore oil extraction is too wide, which is very different from the onshore oil extraction methods. Due to the special environment, some problems that are not problems onshore at all, but have become problems at sea. Foreign marine mining technologies are still concentrated in shallow seas below 200 feet, and there are several development directions. Strategically speaking, determining a development direction is the most important thing.

Su Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Overseas oil production is the first step. We will focus on horizontal wells and large displacement wells."

He was prepared for a long time. The goal of horizontal wells and large displacement wells is to connect offshore oil reservoirs with onshore oil wells, so as to use onshore equipment to mine offshore oil. This is also the method used by Shengli Oilfield to mine Chengdao Oilfield in the mining of Chengdao Oilfield.

Gu Haijian recalled the data he had seen and said, "In this case, it is estimated that one-quarter of the Chengdao oil field can be mined. Next, should we use the method of building land around the sea or artificial islands?"

Land-making in the sea is the model of land-encircling the sea, directly building an 80-kilometer seawall, emptying 500 square kilometers of seawater, and then using onshore oil recovery method. The artificial island is the method adopted in the later stage of Chengdao Oilfield, which is equivalent to filling only a part of the sea, and then connecting the artificial island with the land with a 5,000-meter sea entry channel, and then mining it in the artificial island by horizontal wells and large displacement wells. This is because the length of the energy displacement of the large displacement well is also limited, and about 8 kilometers is the limit. Oil reservoirs 8 kilometers away from land need to be mined on the artificial island.

From the perspective of Sucheng, these two methods are cheap and easy to use methods, which can solve the oil extraction problem of Chengdao Oilfield, but lack potential. They are almost impossible to transplant abroad.

The most famous shallow sea oil production area in the world is the Persian Gulf, with an average water depth of no more than 90 meters, but what countries are around it? Oman, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Iran and Iraq... Which one can allow Chinese oil companies to build land there or do artificial island oil production? On the contrary, offshore drilling platforms in the UK and the United States are still very popular despite the daily rent of more than US$100,000.

Sucheng needs to obtain results in a short period of time to meet the political demands of the head office, and it is natural to use displacement well mining along the coast. However, away from inland areas, there is no doubt that offshore drilling platforms should be used. Although the cost is more than twice as expensive, in terms of overall benefits, the cost is actually reduced.

The technology of artificial islands can be played in China at most. Even if Sucheng is not developed, Jidong Petroleum Company or CNOOC will still be developed... Similarly, such low-end technology patents cannot be sold for money.

However, marine drilling technology is really complicated and cannot be supported by the Dahua Laboratory, which has only more than 200 people.

In order to avoid spreading, Su Cheng did not say it explicitly, and said: "First develop horizontal wells and displacement wells. Let's consider what to do next. You should first prepare to build the Dahua Ocean Petroleum Research Institute, and use the small building behind it as an office building. First, list a research table and equipment table."

"Don't wait for the oil company?"

"They have a bureaucratic style, don't worry." Su Cheng said this, but hoped that the headquarters would react more slowly. Elephants cooperated with ants. If ants don't build their nests out, they can only change their careers and become dung beetles.

"What about... what about the budget?" Gu Haijian asked, and the others also pricked their ears.

"The first batch of 10 million."

The sound of "sucking" the air sucking of the house, like a bicycle shop doing centralized repairs.
