Norwegian Hydru Company, expected to increase maintenance costs to $5 million. At their cost, it is probably only profitable.

The Saudis naturally refused: "Our budget is only 3 million yuan, and it cannot be increased."

The Norwegian also said straightforwardly: "In this way, we can only withdraw. Please note that you have many requirements. The condition of 'Haidiao No. 6' is also very poor. The damage to the platform structure is a serious problem, and the same is true for erosion... If you still need our services, you can contact us again."

Hydrew really left.

Nasr was not surprised. He gently pulled the gold-edged cloak, without saying anything, but his face looked a little anxious. This was the Saudis in the late 1980s who were so anxious. When they sold $500 billion in oil every year, no Saudis would really be anxious because of their work.

Siucheng watched the Norwegian leave, turned around gently, and asked, "Mr. Bertos, is Halliburton ready to continue bidding? If this is considered a bid."

Bellsto rubbed his big red nose with his hands twice, and did not answer Su Cheng's words, but lowered his head to discuss with the engineer.

It can be imagined that if they can win this repair project for $3 million, Dahua Industrial will have little competitiveness. The reputation of both sides is like Audi and Alto. In Saudi Arabia, where they can afford anything, famous brands are very important.

Beersto was even ready to make 1 yuan. He signed the order.

However, the engineer quickly raised his head and said, "We can't do this..."

“How much does it cost?”

The engineer's expression was serious and awkward, saying, "It's not a cost issue. I mean. We may not be able to repair the 'Sea Diamond Six'."

"How is it possible!" This was something that Bellsto couldn't accept. He asked wide-eyed: "How could we not be able to repair Haidian No. 6, and Chinese companies can?"

"Dahua Industrial is the strongest oil equipment company in China. If you notice it, you may find that not long ago, Halliburton helped them acquire two European shipbuilding companies, both with technical accumulation of offshore drilling platforms. In addition, our offshore department of Halliburton is now working with Dahua Industrial." The engineer finished speaking in one breath and continued: "Now, if we undertake this project, we must also find a new engineering company, or use a joint venture between Halliburton and Dahua Industrial."

"Halliburton himself, don't have the ability to complete it?"

"Yes, the Norwegians said, structural damage is difficult to solve. Maybe it needs to be rebuilt."

"What is the company doing? Give business to Chinese people?"

"They may be considering industrial transfer."

"Transfer a sunrise industry?"

"Offshore oil equipment still belongs to the shipbuilding industry. Haven't we always stayed away from this industry?"

Belsto blew his nose and said, "That's why we see Chinese in the Middle East. A bunch of short-sighted guys!"

The engineer shrugged, showing that he could do nothing.

Bellsto looked up and not only Halliburton's people were listening to them. Not far away, Siucheng and Nasr also looked over.

This forced Beersto to the corner of the wall and rubbed his nose and couldn't speak.

In the end, Nasl couldn't wait and asked, "What is Halliburton's opinion?"

Bellsto said unclearly: "We have different opinions on the maintenance of the platform."

Nasr believed it and asked happily: "What kind of opinions? We will try our best to answer."

"We need to comprehensively analyze this test report, and maybe we ask another company or a third-party company to conduct the test."

Nasr said in confusion: "The one responsible for testing is already a third-party testing company."

"If this is the case, we cannot take over this order for $3 million." Bellsto hummed for a long time, but the content was similar to that of the Norwegians.

Nasr was disappointed and looked back at Sioux City.

At this time, he suddenly thought: "Mr. Bellsto, if I were to give you more choices of accessories, you would not have to buy original grade accessories from the original manufacturer, but use some other accessories, such as Chinese-made accessories, would you accept it?"

The steel structure of offshore drilling platforms is only a matter of materials and technology. Things like mud pumps, diesel engines, cranes, etc. are purchased from certain companies in other countries. It is impossible for them to come from the manufacturer of offshore drilling platforms. This is also the place where the accessories cost the highest. Sucheng hopes to reduce costs in this way, and at the same time introduces Chinese-made accessories. Nasr indirectly revealed the bottom line of Dahua Industrial.

However, although Bellsto wanted to accept it, he wisely chose to refuse.

Since they cannot repair "Sea Dian No. 6", the problem is not the source of the mud pump, but the overall problem.

After saying the words to withdraw, Bellsto reluctantly smiled at Su Cheng and left without looking back.

Jansen greeted Su Cheng, but he didn't stay for long.

Not long after, the rest was Dahua Industrial again.

Sucheng spread his hands to Nasr and smiled and said, "It seems that we can only talk about it."

The Saudis nodded dullly. This is not the first time they have hit a wall. The situation of "Sea Diamond 6" is inconsistent with their maintenance policies, but they still have to discuss this order. For the big guys of Saudi Arabia's National Petroleum Corporation, $3 million is not at its eye, so there is no room for modification.

After discussing with a few people around him, Nasr proposed: "All accessories must be inspected by us and repairs must be completed within half a year, otherwise..."

"We demand low liquidated damages." Siucheng stopped Nasr from continuing, saying: "Since the drilling platform cannot be dragged back to China, we need free dock rentals and necessary equipment... You know, this approach actually increases our costs. The shipping cost should not have been included in the maintenance fund."

Nasr nodded generously, as he usually did.

On the day of signing the contract, hundreds of Chinese workers were sent from COSCO Shipping and Dahua.

At the same time, workers who were originally planning to operate the second "Hua 106" drilling platform were also sent to Saudi Arabia in advance.

The project that was supposed to be repaired by about 100 people was stuffed into three or four hundred people at once, and immediately accelerated the speed. In just about a week, the equipment on the platform was dismantled and transported back to China in the name of scrap steel.

From the perspective of the Saudis, these things can indeed be regarded as the standard of scrap copper and iron. As a national enterprise that is satisfied with the division of labor in the world, they do not care about the technology contained in the equipment...
