Chapter Thirty-Four: Actual Measurement Data (Click to Recommend)

  "Time's up!" The researcher in charge of the calculation shouted after taking a reading with a ladle, "4 hours, 1.4 cubic meters of liquid output."

  Dean Qian's eyes lit up and he hastily asked: "It's now 8.4 tons per day, what was the original output of these two wells?"

  "5.6 cubic meters."

  "The efficiency has been increased by 50%." Dean Qian's mouth was agape, and he asked again: "How much power does it consume?"

  "Crude oil ton electricity consumption, 24.6 degrees."

  A staff member next to him quickly checked the data and calculated, "Before, No. 12 well used an ordinary oil pump with a power consumption of 59.4 degrees per ton, now it only accounts for 41% of the original, saving nearly 60% of electricity."

  Dean Qian was amazed, with saliva flowing from his mouth, and said loudly: "Great! Great progress! Our oil extractor has made great progress..."

  "Suzhou is our person." Dean Yuan wasn't unwilling to fight, but there was no benefit in fighting. Now that they had an extraordinary oil extractor, he didn't show any weakness and said: "The last time Suzhou did the pipe connection, it was also our school's people..."

  "His relationship is not in your hospital."

  The two of them started arguing loudly, no longer caring that Lin Yonggui was standing in front of them. To say nothing of the fact that they and Lin Yonggui, who was in charge of production, were not even part of the same system.

  This is the interesting thing about Chinese officialdom, when there are many mothers-in-law, no one's words can stop, when there are few mothers-in-law, only listen to the mother-in-law's words. But once it involves personal interests, it's as if the mother-in-law was never seen.

  Lin Yonggui also rose to prominence through his food, letting them take a bite first. He waved his hand naturally and called out to Su Cheng, "60% energy saving, and 50% increase in efficiency! I didn't expect that we've been shouting about pursuing beauty and catching up with the day, but it was you who completed it. I said earlier, if it's 30% energy saving, you're our great benefactor, and we should reward your merits. Hmm, what do you want?"

  "If the oil field is willing to use this oil extractor, and can convert my hard work into real crude oil, that would be the greatest reward for me." Su Cheng said with sincerity.

  Lin Yonggui smiled and said: "You're going to waste a good opportunity."

  "I've already gotten what I wanted." Su Cheng gazed at the excited engineers and technicians around him, his tone even more resolute.

  At this time, he hopes more for pure enjoyment of the process.

  What he pursued was not wealth and power.

  If he pursued wealth and power, he didn't have to give up the State Council, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other super ministries. Su Cheng chose the Petroleum Department and then jumped from the Petroleum Department to the oil field, all in order to make use of his own expertise, so as not to waste the hard-won opportunity for rebirth.

  Since he had that $20,000, Su knew that satisfying his personal luxurious desires was easy in this world. The truly difficult thing was achieving success and making the country rich and powerful.

  For most people, wealth and power are tangible and close to themselves, while a strong country and career achievements are intangible. For Su Cheng, it's the opposite. Looking back on his 20 years of experience, he has enough qualifications to do things that benefit the country and nation, and other things are just additional benefits.

  Lin Yonggui gazed deeply at Su City.

  He is a man who can read people, but the more he does so, the less he understands Su Cheng.

  A 20-year-old young man may be willing to give up money, but few people are willing to give up honor and power. That is even more intoxicating than a beauty.

  "Really don't want to?"

  "Really don't want to." Su Cheng shook his head again.

  "Are you not going to ask for that patent fee?" Secretary Lin's concerns were naturally taken care of by someone who helped him investigate thoroughly.

  Su Cheng smiled and said: "For domestic authorized production, I won't charge any money. Exporting abroad is a different story."

  Lin, the secretary who thought he had grasped the pulse of the situation, was once again bewildered: "Do you know how many oil extraction machines are working nationwide? Even if you collect 1 yuan in patent fees, it's enough to live a lifetime."

  Su Cheng burst out laughing and said with undisguised disdain: "A few hundred thousand yuan, that's not enough to last a lifetime."

  Secretary Lin let out a "heh" and laughed, saying: "You earn just over a hundred yuan a month, yet you look down on tens of thousands? Don't you calculate how long it would take for you to earn tens of thousands?"

  Su Cheng shook his head and said: "Even if I charge 1 yuan, there will be people who are eager to pay. Now the most important thing is to promote it, and the matter of collecting money can be postponed indefinitely."

  If he can't afford to eat steak, then he should consider collecting patent fees - not afraid of hard work, not afraid of rumors. But now that he has money to eat steak, he's too lazy to bother with others.

  It has been almost 10 years since the reform and opening up, and China's Patent Law has only been implemented for 5 years. People have already begun to become familiar with and understand this new thing, but paying patent fees to the state is still extremely rare.

  Su Cheng didn't want to spend time in such a place. Moreover, for some state-owned enterprises' absurdity, in order not to pay the 1,000 yuan patent usage fee, they might rather use 5 years of time and 1 million yuan to do research. This kind of thing has happened before and won't be the last time either.

  On the other hand, Dean Qian and Dean Yuan were arguing endlessly, pulling each other to Lin Yonggui's face, saying: "Secretary Lin, you be the judge, should Su City be counted as part of our institute?"

  "You should ask Su Cheng about this." Lin Yonggui made a Tai Chi push-hand gesture and sent the person flying in front of Su Cheng.

  "Suzhou, which institute are you thinking of?" Dean Yuan came over smoothly and shouted: "Master Liang has already invited you, if you come, you can only come to our institute!"

  Dean Qian said with a smile, "Su City, our Drilling and Oil Production Research Institute is the core institute of the oil field. Many leaders have come from our institute, now you're coming over, your treatment will definitely be top-notch."

  "Are we going bankrupt?" Director Yuan said angrily.

  "Aren't you poor yet?"

  Just as the two were about to come to blows, Su Cheng hastily intervened, saying: "I never planned on going to the research institute, I couldn't bear the temperament for doing research. Now being in the planning department is just fine."

  "Suzhou, you'd better think carefully, the Institute of Industrial Technology is a full-division institute, and its position is much higher than that planning office."

  Dean Qian knew that he had left a bad impression, so he said more bluntly: "Little Su, I'm the kind of person who likes to take credit, but once you get to our Drilling and Oil Extraction Research Institute, you'll understand. Among all the oil fields, ours has the largest budget and attracts the most talent. What's the point of those other research institutes? They're just for show, only good enough to eat our leftovers."

  Su Cheng smiled and shook his head.

  Director Yuan and Director Qian gazed at Secretary Lin again with a fierce stare.

  Secretary Lin then mediated, pointing to Su Cheng and saying: "You may not know that our little Su was originally given the opportunity to go to the State Council. However, because a certain comrade mentioned the hardships of our petroleum front line, he resolutely put down his advantageous work and voluntarily entered the Petroleum Ministry. Later, he also volunteered to come to our Victory Oil Field, starting from the most basic oil worker position. Our oil field has always claimed to respect talent and introduce talent, so now when facing talent, we must respect their choices, isn't that right?"

  Others looked at Su Cheng with an incredulous expression, as if he were a god.

  What is the State Council?

  That's living in the news broadcast!

  Director Yuan and Director Qian glared at each other, then suddenly rushed towards Lin Yonggui together, shouting: "This oil extractor was designed in collaboration with our institute, it should be counted as one of our products!"
