In March, the senior management of Formosa Plastics visited the mainland for the second time, much more frequently than expected by Sucheng.

However, the $7 billion project cannot be negotiated in a short while. In history, the two sides have been playing games for three years and have changed the conditions several times, but they have not done their best. Sucheng does not have to wait for their negotiations to finish the project, but they have to wait until the land is in place and the contract with Formosa Plastics can be completed before construction can be started.

The concern of central leaders is completely different from that of provincial leaders. As far as Sucheng knows, Formosa Plastics can even choose from a million acres of land: Guang* Dong Hui*zhou, Xiamenhai*cang or Meizhou Bay.

If an old landlord had to live freely even if he farmed on this million acres of land, let alone build a factory with a yield of 100 times.

This scale of Formosa Plastics has been accumulated over 30 years. If Dahua Industrial is a test field, then Formosa Plastics is a familiar piece of land.

Sucheng is not in a hurry. The Abu Dhabi natural gas that he needs to underwrite is calculated in annual terms, and there is still some time before the underwriting starts. If Formosa Plastics can eat up another 2 million tons, he will only have 6 million tons to consider, and the pressure has been greatly reduced.

On the other hand, Sucheng didn't have much time to consider it. The day after returning to Dongying, he stayed in Chengdao Oilfield.

The 4,500-meter large displacement well that had been put into operation was rumbling, and it didn't look conspicuous at all. If you observe the appearance, you would never have imagined that the underground would slant into the sea for several kilometers.

Everyone in the institute was smiling and full of pride.

Gu Haijian raised his chin slightly and said, "Director Su, although the 4,500-meter large displacement well is only half of the world's longest displacement well, it is the first in Shengli Oilfield. Moreover, this is only our first batch of large displacement wells, one is 4,500 meters and one is 3,100 meters. The second batch will be completed immediately. The longest will be 5,100 meters."

"How much crude oil can be produced?"

"Within a radius of 5 kilometers, it is estimated that there will be 2 million to 5 million tons." Gu Haijian smiled and said, "Secretary Tao is very happy. He said that as long as we can produce 1 million tons of oil this year, we will give us a bonus."

They are all technicians from Dahua Laboratory. The salary is paid by Su Cheng. What Secretary Tao can do is pay the bonus.

Su Cheng laughed and said, "Can 1 million tons be done?"

"The 3100-meter well is a thousand-ton well, and the 4500-meter well 2 can barely reach a thousand-ton. If there is no super high-yield well of 3000-ton in the second batch of wells, I guess I won't get the bonus." Gu Haijian was also smiling as he said.

His deputy Sui Yuanqing was not very familiar with Sucheng and further introduced: "The first year of oil wells is a period of improvement, and it is necessary to achieve stable and high yields. It often takes three to five years, and the most are 7 years. The Chengdao Oilfield is still under exploration, and 1 million tons is not easy to achieve."

Su Cheng nodded and asked, "Where is the drilling platform? Is it normal?"

Gu Haijian replied: "The next field test will be conducted. To be honest, everyone is a little nervous."

"As long as the level of the large displacement well can be maintained, I think there is no problem." Su Cheng smiled and encouraged: "From October to March, 5 months and 150 days, from technology to construction, a large displacement well of 4,500 meters has been completed. Not only is it a rare domestically, but also a rare internationally. The base-type marine drilling platform is just our second step. Next, it will be a self-lifting marine drilling platform. Everyone works hard, and if the sea trial is successful, we will also pay a bonus. There is no conflict with Secretary Tao."

Everyone laughed.

After the people dispersed, Su Cheng looked at the ocean drilling platform in the distance and took a deep breath.

Compared with the marine drilling platform he saw in the textbooks in later generations, this platform is much simpler. The platform is only 35 meters long and 22 meters wide. The upper deck is 12 meters high. On the sea surface, if there are greater wind and waves, you will not even be able to see clearly.

Such platforms can only be used in shallow seas, and it is best to be stable in bay-like waters.

Gu Haijian followed his gaze and whispered: "It is such a base-mounted marine drilling platform. Our domestic production rate is less than 50%. Halliburton has helped some. The main cost is on imported parts."

Su Cheng nodded slightly, there was nothing he could do about it. Even after 30 years, the marine drilling platform was still the field of foreigners. Dahua Industrial has taken a big step ahead because of the stimulation of Chengdao Oilfield. If he takes the shortcut to offshore oil production, it will eventually be a waste of 10 years.

Gu Haijian said embarrassedly: "Their technology is much more advanced than ours, so the price is so high. Moreover, their drilling platforms are basically electronic, and we are indeed not as good as that. Our foundation is the tracking research done by the country in the 1970s. Ten years have passed, and there is some improvement in concepts, so it is hard to say about materials and equipment."

"As long as it can be used, there is no need to worry about domestic production. We will use Halliburton parts, which is always cheaper than buying them directly, and will be gradually improved in the future." Su Cheng pointed and said, "Can such a platform be expanded?"

"We are planning to expand the length and width to 50 meters and 35 meters. In this way, the weight of the empty ship is about 2,000 tons, and there is no problem in mining the oil fields in Abu Dhabi." Gu Haijian also knew the goal of Sucheng, so he stopped and asked: "I heard that the leader of the headquarters will come to visit the day after tomorrow's sea trial?"

"Secretary Lin invited a few familiar department-level leaders, don't worry." The technology of the drilling platform belongs to Sucheng, but it must be used for free for the Petroleum Corporation. Therefore, it is normal for Lin Yonggui to invite people from the headquarters to visit the sea trial.

Because of the relationship between the Abu Dhabi oil fields, Dahua Industrial and the three major oil companies have a bit of a stiff relationship. However, this is just the opinion of individual leaders. Su Cheng knew in his heart that as long as the oil produced in Abu Dhabi, or the marine drilling technology of Dahua Laboratory exploded with satellites, or Formosa Plastics cooperation was successful, some leaders would become a few leaders...

A blacksmith must be strong himself. Judging from Sucheng's experience in his later generations, domestic competition is not the first priority. Maintaining its own stable growth is the highest priority.

Gu Haijian is different. I heard that not only the leaders of the headquarters, but Secretary Lin from Shengli Oilfield will also come, and he couldn't help but say anxiously: "Will our simple drilling platform make people laugh at me?"

"As long as it can be used, what are you afraid of being ugly?" Su Cheng glanced at him and said with a smile: "If you are afraid of being ugly, just paint your appearance like a whale. If you look like a shark, you will cover up your ugly face."

Su Cheng is talking about playing. But Gu Haijian was concerned. When he worked at Petrobras, he was often influenced by bureaucracy, such as using green paint to paint open space and disguise the lawn and changing Audi to a Mercedes-Benz logo. Brazilians are also extremely skilled, and are by no means the Chinese patent.

After seeing off Sucheng, Gu Haijian felt the more he thought about it. He found an outdoor advertising company overnight and painted the offshore drilling platform with them as a dolphin.

An outdoor advertising company in 1989 is quite familiar with drawing a beautiful woman, but my understanding of dolphins is pure blue.

Moreover, Gu Haijian is a young man with a strong hands-on action. He and several young researchers worked together to help, dumping more than a dozen buckets of cheap blue paint on it. Add a little decoration...

In the end, the 12-meter-high offshore drilling platform failed to turn into a dolphin as expected, but it looked like a pregnant crocodile with a few arrows poked on it.

When the overall image was out of the cage, Gu Haijian also realized the mistake. However, before he could modify it, the commuter boat had already arrived.

The sea surface in March is still calm.

After the boat passes the bay, you can see a drilling platform that exposes the sea level.

Su Cheng stood beside Lin Yonggui. He was about to introduce him, but he was stunned.

Lin Yonggui looked at the butt of the pregnant crocodile, was stunned and couldn't help but smile and said, "What's going on?"

"I guess it's a celebration ceremony." Su Cheng said helplessly.

"It's the kind of thing that is learned from foreigners." The leader from the headquarters laughed twice and said, "It looks a little weird, and the color is a bit weird. Is that blue?"

The boat was moving forward. The platform shape was exposed more. The Halliburton-like Jansen, who came with it, finally laughed and shouted in English: "This is a butt, I really didn't expect that after applying the color, it was very vivid."

Su Cheng had to cough hard. It was too conscientious to stop the translator. However, there were many people present who could understand English. The commuter boat quickly burst into laughter.

After climbing the drilling platform and meeting Gu Haijian, someone quickly changed the name with accent and specifically pronounced "Gu Haijian".

After Gu Haijian understood, he was stunned.

Su Cheng patted his shoulder to comfort him: "After a while, everyone will forget."

"What if I can't forget it?" Gu Haijian looked sad.

Su Cheng patted his shoulder, sighed, and said, "Go to introduce the platform first..."

Gu Haijian's face was filled with sadness and egg shatters.

After a while, Jansen returned to Sucheng, leaned against the railing, looked at the rippling blue waves in front of him, and smiled: "Dr. Su, I heard that you want to build a larger marine drilling platform?"

"That's it." Su Cheng nodded and looked at the person next to him.

When Jansen saw that he noticed, he immediately said: "I will introduce you to a friend, who is also our long-term partner of Halliburton, Mr. Simon of Fernor Shipping. Fernor Shipping is a solution for offshore drilling platforms. They do not produce them themselves, but they have advanced technology and have passed the certification of Lowe's Classification Society very early. I think that since Dahua Industrial wants to manufacture it itself, he should be interested in this way of cooperation."

Simon has a strong figure, very white skin, and a bit sickly. He said steadily in English: "We, Fenoer Shipping, was one of the first companies to enter offshore drilling platforms. We can provide complete solutions. We can only provide technology, construction contracting, and there is no problem in completing the key project. The price is very reasonable."

Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and smiled, "How reasonable is it?"

"Abu Dhabi's oil fields only have a drilling platform below 150 feet, a small platform, providing full-process technical services, 6 million US dollars." This is not the first time Simon has made a offer. As a technology company, they have even referenced the Abu Dhabi environment.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "This price is several times higher than our finished product."

"The technology is definitely several times stronger." Simon raised his head proudly.

Su Cheng's smile suddenly faded.
