"If Dahua Industrial really wants to increase the exploration teams a lot, I will immediately add 3 exploration teams within my authority. If I ask them to move here, it will only take up to 3 days. And I will apply to the board of directors for more exploration teams and drilling teams." Ito Nobuki paused for a moment, looked at Su Cheng intently, and said, "Dr. Su, do we need to fight like this?"

He glanced at Ariksai, and no matter what his expression was, he said to Su Cheng: "Unlimited competition is harmful to both sides. If Director Su controls the exploration team to less than 5 units, we will not add the exploration team. Based on this, the drilling team is set to five units, and then how about the racing?"

Not to mention 30 exploration teams, sending 10 exploration teams is also unbearable for Ito Nobuki. Moreover, now is only the beginning of racing exploration, and the large investment makes Ito Nobuki's psychology difficult to accept.

He even made preparations and waited for Sucheng's bargaining. For example, limiting the exploration teams of the Singapore-Malaysia Group and Ito Trading Company to 3 teams is the best choice from the perspective of Ito Nobuki.

However, Sucheng's character and experience determined his firm pursuit of his goal. As his private company, Sucheng did not have to consider shareholders and board of directors, and was able to tolerate a short period of cost surges and capital losses.

The winner receives compensation, while the loser receives the consequences.

Since the moment he confirmed the racing exploration, Su Cheng had anticipated the current situation. He smiled leisurely and said: "If even the exploration team is reluctant to give up on the racing exploration team, he will admit defeat directly. The number of exploration teams is restricted, which is contrary to the spirit of the contract."

"This is just a meaningless arms race." Li Zhengfu retorted weakly.

"When you sign a racing exploration agreement, don't you know that the contract signed is an 'arms race'?" Su Cheng said sarcastically. The cost of his dispatch of exploration teams and the Singapore-Malaysian Group are two concepts. The cost of 10 exploration teams may not be as much as that of Li Zhengfu's two exploration teams. However, their effectiveness will far exceed that of foreign exploration teams equipped with advanced instruments.

An ordinary Chinese worker’s monthly salary is not 500 yuan, and the investment in labor costs does not exceed 1,000 yuan. A member of a foreign exploration team earns at least a thousand US dollars a month. Even if the appreciation of the yen eliminates half of Ito Trading Company’s expenditure, a team of 100 people will also require labor costs of more than 100,000 US dollars. Those equipment operators with high technical titles, or exploration teams with multiple types of employment often have as many as three or four hundred. It is not uncommon to jump 10 times.

The numbers on the books are the ones Ito Nobuki, and it is precisely because of this that he feels very upset. Foreign exploration teams have been pursuing high-tech and low-management methods since the 1970s. Unexpectedly, today they would meet a guy like Sucheng who does not follow the international trend.

The core of a high-tech exploration team with less manpower is not to increase efficiency, but to reduce costs.

As the number of newly discovered oil fields in the world becomes less and less, the total investment in exploration by the oil industry is gradually decreasing. Exploration teams using high-tech equipment only adapt to this situation, further reducing costs and at the same time reducing the mining speed. Many high-cost exploration teams often tend to go bankrupt when there is insufficient workload.

If a company wants to be fast, it is possible to hire multiple exploration teams to explore and let those half-dead exploration teams survive. On the contrary, companies tend to spend as little as possible and put their profits in financial markets such as the stock market.

You can also understand from another perspective. No matter how advanced the exploration equipment of developed European and American countries in the 1950s, it will not be more advanced than that of Chinese in the 1990s. Since European and American countries in the 1950s were able to explore most of the world, there was no reason for China in the 1990s to complain because of backward equipment.

It took only two or three years for the Daqing Oil Battle and the victory of the Oil Battle. It was still the poor China in the 1960s. If it were foreign oil companies, whether in 1960 or 1990, it would not be rare to develop a Daqing oil field in 10 years. Of course, at the cost of foreign oil companies, if they adopt the oil battle model, they would be dead ends if they explored much oil. This is something that they could not learn even if they wanted to learn. Tens of thousands of established troops who were directly equipped with retired troops were invested in oil construction in the form of conscripts, and accompanied by a fiery enthusiasm for construction. The power that burst out from this was not replaced by a few cranes and more advanced drilling rigs.

ExxonMobil and BP cannot learn, but Ito Trading Company and the Singapore-Malaysia Group cannot learn. Ito Nobuki wants to limit competition.

After the method of restricting the exploration team was rejected by Sucheng, Nobuki Ito was silent for a moment and said, "Chairman of Sucheng, you have increased the cost of competition. Since that is the case, we both can only increase the cost of competition simultaneously. You have opened the Pandora's box."

Su Cheng said, "Since the signing of the racing exploration agreement, the magic box has been opened."

This is why oil companies don’t like to sign a racing exploration agreement. No matter how beautiful it is, for huge profits, both parties will eventually do their best to improve their bargaining chips until one party gives up or fails.

Ito Nobuge suddenly smiled and said, "That's right."

Ariksai felt that he was a little ignored, so he had a tense face. However, seeing that they were inclined to increase their investment, Ariksai raised his wine glass with a smile and shouted: "I wish you both success!"

"Success!" Several people drank vodka with their own thoughts, and then grinned in a spicy way.

Ito Nobuge let out a breath of turbid air, put down his cup, and smiled: "Dr. Su may not know that Ito Trading Company has invited an aviation exploration team from the United States. Although it is a low-altitude and low-speed aircraft, it will take only a few days to do the primary exploration."

Ariksey said in surprise: "I know about aviation exploration. I have been sitting in Siberia when it was first developed."

The Siberian environment made the early Soviet Union relied heavily on air transportation, and helicopters such as Mi26 specifically considered the needs of Siberia. At the same time, the Soviet Union also built many onshore heavy trucks that were very powerful even after 20 years to make it pass through muddy roads deeper than people. Ariksey was able to obtain an undeveloped land plot in the Tyumen Oil Zone, which proved that his status in the upper level of the Soviet Union, or the current Russian Federation, was not uncommon for aviation exploration.

Ito Shinji looked at Sucheng, as if he wanted to find a little surprise or anger.

He saw nothing.

Su Cheng said lightly: "We all know that oil exploration is a systematic project, and aviation exploration can do it. It is really limited. If Ito Trading Company only has this ability, it would be better to surrender early, so as not to suffer too much losses."

Li Zhengfu said in a Chinese interface that is unclear, "We just don't want to lose both sides. If Director Su wants to compete for manpower, I hope your speed can keep up. The train that takes one week will be transported too slowly."

Su Cheng smiled. At this moment, a bouquet of car headlights came from behind, passed through the window, and fell on the dining table.

The temporary campsite is very simple. Even the room that Arik is only at the level of a domestic youth hostel. It is found by the car's headlights, and it is difficult to see things in the living room.

Several people walked out the door at the same time.

I saw a team of cars squeaking in. This time, the front was a large 6*4 flat-head truck, covered in mud and weathered.

"Is it Dahua's exploration team?"

"Yes."

"When I saw the red and yellow colors, I thought of Dahua Industrial." Ariksai laughed twice. The red and yellow colors he mentioned were Dahua's ci logo. Since the integration of Dahua Group two years ago, Dahua's corporate image recognition system has been increasingly widely used, and Dahua's logo has become more and more famous. So the number of large enterprises using these two colors in China is decreasing.

Ito Nobuge and Li Masao frowned and watched Su Cheng go up to greet the newly arrived prospectors.

At the same time, the Dahua Logistics Team, which had already prepared dinner, also brought pots of food to the table. The son of Chef Fan, who was once the son of Chef Fan of Shengli Oilfield, guarded the soup of two large pots and greeted: "Come and drink some hot pots of warmth..."

The people left behind in Dahua, whether they were logistics personnel or administrative personnel, all rushed out and asked about their well-being in the bitter cold wind. Although many people were sleepy, they still smiled and wrapped in their coats and ran back and forth to help.

From Tyumen City to the temporary camp, it took almost a whole day to drive, and there was only cold bread on the road. At this time, the driver and passengers jumped out of the car, stomped their feet and slapped at the same time, while cursing the ghost weather in Siberia with Chinese fellow villagers in the temporary camp. Oil workers who traveled around the world were never frightened, let alone in a foreign country. Whether they knew or not, everyone quickly became familiar with each other. You are from Hunan from South China Exploration Bureau, and I am from Hubei from Dagang Oilfield. Let's rub it. The South China Exploration Bureau and Dagang Oilfield are friends from my cousin's in-laws.

In just a few minutes, Dahuamen formed a piece. While drinking hot soup, everyone stomped their feet to wait for the distribution of the room. There were also personnel from the maintenance team who opened their headlights to verify the condition of the truck.

Normal repairs and openings will be carried out tomorrow during the day.

This fleet is equipped with large equipment and a set of steel structures. Dahua needs to build another supply base in the Kuwak area, otherwise it will be difficult for a team of tens of thousands of people to stick to it.

It’s early in Siberia, and once the sun sets, the temperature will soon drop below zero. Even wearing a fur coat, it’s hard to say it’s warm.

However, none of the employees who stayed in the temporary camp in Dahua hid in order to keep warm. They first sent the driver and passengers who had been running around for a day into the camping house, helped check the vehicle situation, and then unloaded a small amount of equipment that needed to be unloaded... They were very busy.

These Chinese people seemed to be filled with heat all over their bodies, and used this heat to infect their compatriots...

Lee Zhengfu asked himself, if it was such a cold day and he fell asleep, would he get up and help?

Answer: If it weren't for my job, I wouldn't!

Similarly, other staff members of the Singapore-Malaysia Group, except for the specified duty staff, probably would not run out of the warm room...

However, it is difficult to maintain a team of tens of thousands of people by relying solely on rules and regulations. It will make the work more difficult and add more pressure to everyone.

If you want to keep a duty team, how many people will be needed? How much does it cost? How much does it cost? What kind of efficiency can it be?
