Chapter 69: Daqing Has Arrived (Rolling on the Ground for Monthly Tickets)

  Qin Sheng's majestic physique had the effect of blocking out sunlight, his bulging biceps were as big as three fists, and the veins on his forehead stood out starkly, making him look incredibly intimidating.

  Two young researchers were as silent as cicadas in winter, while Director Yang quietly retreated two steps back and kept an eye on the escape route at all times.

  Su Cheng remained calm and said: "Director Qin, let's not talk about making money, just talk about lowering prices. If we follow what you said, the ex-factory price is 1200 yuan..."

  "360 yuan!"

  Su Cheng bluntly stretched out his hand and said, "Don't even mention 360, at a price of 1,200 yuan, other state-owned enterprises can forget about surviving..."

  "They produce their pumping jacks, you produce your anti-friction bearings, what's the connection? The oil field saves money and you also make a profit..."

  Su Cheng interrupted him, saying: "Wasn't the Victory Oilfield Machinery Factory like this before? Originally, they were normally producing 8170 gearboxes, but then Daqing Oilfield Machinery Factory launched the 8201, a product that was one generation ahead and priced lower than Victory Oilfield's. What happened next?"

  Qin Shiwai was stunned, he certainly knew about this matter.

  Su Cheng snorted twice with his nose and said: "Daqing Machinery Factory originally had a scale advantage, and after the introduction of 8201, the price was cheaper and the technology was more advanced. Naturally, it occupied the national turbine worm gear reducer market, squeezing out the victory oil field machinery factory, which almost stopped production. But can our several thousand people's machinery factory stop production? We have to continue producing, continue losing money, and continue inventorying... Then, what happened to Daqing Machinery Factory? They smashed their pots and sold iron on the production line, and the price was still so low that they couldn't make back the cost of the production line in three years. As a result, Daqing Machinery Factory went bankrupt again with 8225... Daqing Machinery Factory didn't go bankrupt because it had a thick foundation, stubbornly refusing to buy the right one, only buying the expensive one."

  Looking at Qin Shiwai, who was stunned, Su Cheng slowed down his tone and said: "Director Qin, tell me, who benefits from this low-price dumping tactic? The machinery factory is losing heavily, the oil field is buying at a high price and losing heavily, and the oil extraction factory has good products that can't be used, so they have to use their own old products. In the end, no one will start new production lines... The task of increasing oil production cannot be completed..."

  Poor Qin Shiwei, a technical person, was tongue-tied and couldn't say a word.

  At this time, a young researcher next to him said: "There are also companies that sell at low prices abroad, Rockefeller and Ford. Are they not the same?"

  "Rockefeller's low-price dumping is to monopolize and then sell at high prices, Ford's low-price sales are due to the reduction in costs after super-scale production... Our machinery factory does not have the strength of super-scale production. If we dump at low prices and don't raise them later, we'll only lose money." Su Cheng casually replied, and lightly added: "Our anti-bias grinding system already has the qualifications for high-price sales. Why bother with low-price sales, which would squeeze out other companies' living space?"

  "So you're saying that the manufacturers of special oil extraction rods should also thank me?" Qin Shiwei was completely bewildered.

  Su Cheng smiled and said, "If you put it that way, there's no big mistake."

  Apart from verbal reasons, there are also factors such as Dahua Industry's production scale not meeting the national supply level. Even if they sell at a low price and stock up on goods, their output cannot keep up, and they will still be unable to capture the market, it's just an empty promise. Every large domestic oil field has its own machinery factory, how can they watch Dahua Industry strangle their own subsidiaries to death and still buy products from Dahua Industry? Such things would not be done even by super-large conglomerates in capitalist countries.

  Qin Shiwai stopped talking, but Su Cheng didn't let him off the hook and chased after him saying: "Director Qin, for a price of 2,000 yuan, can you recommend us to those above?"

  Suzhou also has its own upper-class relationships, but the effect of being recommended by professionals is even better. People like Qin Shiwei have a higher credibility when speaking.

  Qin Shiwai took a deep look at Su Cheng and said, "I'm a technical person, I only know that being technically advanced never suffers. I'll help you get recommended to the higher-ups, but as for the price, I won't say."

  "Of course." Su Cheng was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

  "Technologically advanced, you don't even think about taking over the entire oilfield business. I heard that Daqing Oilfield is considering selling special oil pipes recently." Qin Shiwei said this and couldn't help but laugh out loud, probably thinking of Su Cheng's embarrassed expression.

  Who would have thought, Su Cheng said without batting an eye: "Even if Daqing Machinery Factory doesn't come, we'll still go."

  Director Yang coughed lightly.

  Su Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said solemnly, "It's nothing. No matter what Director Qin says, he is still the director of our Victory Oilfield Drilling Research Institute. Daqing Machinery Factory has taken away so many of our businesses, it's just fair competition, why hide?"

  He saw that in the blink of an eye, "fair competition" had turned into a competition between oil fields. Qin Shihui felt it was fitting and said, "You're finally acting like a Chinese major."

  Instead, Qin Shihui resumed his deputy director identity and commented: "Daqing Oilfield has been doing anti-wear products for many years. Although our oilfield is unwilling, those high-yielding wells are still using their casing pipes. Otherwise, the downtime for maintenance would be too long. Our oilfield's pipe factory has been in operation for 30 years, but it can only produce ordinary pipes now, which is not a small difference. So... your stuff is not bad, but don't look down on others."

  Su Cheng Zheng is the key. The strength of both sides is there, Daqing Machinery Factory is still the leader in China's petroleum equipment industry.

  The "anti-corruption system" has been reporting layer by layer, and Su City is not idle either. It entrusted Xiao Pang and Director Yang to go to the Science and Technology Committee and handle public relations for products. At that time, taking two bottles of wine to visit leaders was a very face-giving thing, which was not tainted with words like corruption and bribery. Bringing Maotai together naturally made it more powerful.

  The Science and Technology Commission has the power to award "Technical Invention Awards" and recommend them upwards. For some bureaucrats, product awards are very important "technical indicators", as for real technical indicators, they don't look at them or can't understand them. The product department has certain procurement authority, a small amount of use, and it is naturally convenient to compare and deepen impressions.

  The former's workflow is very slow, while the latter is extremely fast. I heard that it was an oil field's own joint venture factory, and they didn't even look at things, just waved their pen and settled on 100 sets.

  200,000 may be a small number, but Li Jianxiang and other tech enthusiasts are still happy to sing and dance. They used to promote others' research results, so their own works naturally feel different.

  Su Cheng personally led the team to Linpan for installation. On the way, he thought about the ease of signing at the product site and thought: At this time, ordinary people don't have much cash in hand, and enterprises are still extremely rich. To make money and develop, they still need to rely on enterprises.

  Upon arrival, 5 work teams started working together, making rapid progress. They replaced the wellhead in two hours and soon caught up with another group of construction workers.

  Oil field workers come and go, running into people working on the same site is very common, but this group of people attracted Su City's attention, because the leader wearing a deep blue work uniform was actually a short-haired beauty.

  There are not a few women in the oil system, but girls on the front line in the wilderness are rare, and beauties are even more scarce. What's most precious is that she does things with ease and elegance. She was seen directing seven or eight workers, pulling out the oil rod, leveling it, tidying up, and replacing it with a new one without stopping. The smooth process and the clear voice of reminding workers of procedures from time to time all show her to be capable and healthy.

  Su Cheng's face suddenly turned cold: What are they doing with the oil pump?

  Li Ruo Xiang behind him has already spoken: "It's Da Qing."

  Su Cheng narrowed his eyes like a cat. The product department arranged the trial wells of the two companies together, seemingly with profound meaning.

  "You must be Director Su." A bright female voice interrupted Su Cheng's thoughts, she stretched out her hand and said: "I'm Xue Jie, a technician at Daqing Machinery Factory."

  Xue Jie's eyes were bright and spirited, with her short hair revealing a shoulder that was stained with oil, giving off a wild and sexy vibe.

  Su Cheng smiled slightly and said: "I am Su Cheng."

  "Great, really is. Are you installing an anti-deviation system? Deviated wells are indeed a public hazard in the oil field, and your chosen angle is very good." Although it was a praising remark, Xue Jie still dominated the conversation between the two parties.

  Su Cheng raised her chin slightly and didn't follow her tone of voice, but said: "The feeling you give me is not like a worker, but more like a soldier."

  Not talking about work, but directly evaluating personally, if placed on later generations of self-proclaimed feminist, it would probably be annoying. Xue Jie after all was in the 80s, had a strong spirit, but no complaints after struggling, stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I come from a military family, grew up in a new soldier company, Director Su saw very accurately."

  "When Father changed his career to the oil field, he became an oil worker?" Su Cheng casually responded, in similar families, it's not uncommon for oil fields to be involved. Every successful battle required the help of disciplined and hardworking retired soldiers who were willing to learn, until the late 1990s when the military atmosphere finally disappeared from the oil fields.

  Xue Jie nodded again, but said: "You don't seem like the Director Su I've heard about either. When I just got off the train, I heard people mention you, and my impression was that you were a Confucian general."

  "What's next?"

  "After all, he's a Confucian official." Xue Jie hinted with her eyes towards the back and said: "If you can't eat and live with the soldiers, how can you expect to win battles?"

  Su Cheng smiled wryly and thought to herself: This is a girl who likes to take the lead, she even doesn't want to be passive in conversation.

  "That's your anti-bias system, right?" Xue Jie saw that Su Cheng was no longer speaking and her aggressive posture subsided.

  But in Su Cheng's eyes, she was still gathering momentum, like a beautiful flower leopard, retreating under the tree, only to make a fatal blow.

  Such a beautiful girl would probably get along well if she went to a foreign company. Su Cheng nodded in agreement, but only responded with a nod to Xuejie's words.

  Xue Jie saw the situation, chuckled twice, raised her short hair, and said handsomely: "I've seen your anti-bias grinding system, not a bad idea, but it's still one point worse than what we have in Daqing!"
