“The construction of the platform floor building and the FPSO is certainly worth 12.5%.”Matsk said, "However, in the process of participating in this project, you can learn the overall idea of the design of offshore oil equipment, and you can also get the right to use the relevant patents, which is very valuable, after all, China's accumulation in this regard is not much."

“Does Mr. President mean that we can buy a ticket to the Marine Oil Club for $500 million?”Feng Xiaochen smiled and said that his face was light, as if he were talking about something other people.

"It is also possible for Mr. Feng to understand this way."

Matsk's tone is somewhat hesitant, he began to realize that the Chinese in front of him is not easy to fool, the Chinese in the process of participating in international technical cooperation has more self-confidence, not Europeans can be swayed with a root baton.

Previously, Matsk and his colleagues felt that China must be eager to acquire the technology of the sixth-generation rig, and at some cost.They think they have caught the shortcomings of the Chinese people and can ask for a price.

Who would have guessed that today's China already has a certain technical foundation, and Western technology is no longer so superstitious.For such an opponent, Europeans can only gain acceptance by the other party by adopting a sincere cooperative attitude.It must be said that Matsk and others have not yet learned how to deal with such a China.

“Mr. Matsk, if we hire you personally as a consultant for China’s sixth-generation offshore drilling rig project, are you interested?”

Instead of getting entangled with Matsk, Feng suddenly threw out a new proposal that stunned Matsk.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Feng, I don't understand what you mean."Matsk subconsciously replied.

Feng Xiaochen said: "Mr. Matsk just said that China's accumulation in offshore oil development is not much, I admit.I heard that Mr. Matsk had been working on offshore oil development, this time as chairman of the Captain Cook project committee, which had been hired by the European Union.If China is going to start a similar project, let me think, ... well, we can name it Zheng He Project, and Mr. Matsk is interested in taking the position of chief consultant on this project?”

The Zheng He Project...

Wang Weilong and others left their mouths and laughed in their hearts.This little Feng really refused to eat, people engaged in a Captain Cook plan, he came to a Zheng He captain's plan, not just talk about the big sea, when my Captain Zheng went to sea, Cook's ancestors are still picking fruit on the tree to eat it, my Captain Zheng is your ancestor of Captain Cook.

The development project of the sixth-generation drilling platform initiated by the National Development and Reform Commission has been launched for more than a year, but there is no project name, which is different from Western countries.Western countries to engage in a development plan, it is necessary to make a name, what Galileo program, Apollo program what, not to mention, such a mess, it sounds like some tall feeling.In the afterlife, Chinese officials also learned this routine and began to name their own equipment research and development plan, what is Chang'e, Beidou, Magpie Bridge and so on.Feng Xiaochen opened his mind at this time, and developed a Zheng He project name for the sixth-generation drilling platform, purely for the European Captain Cook plan to call the board, as for the NDRC there is no acceptance, not in his consideration.

Matsk did not know who Zheng He was also, but Feng Xiaochen wanted to express what he wanted to say, but he understood.His first reaction was to feel that Feng Xiaochen was humiliating himself, even humiliating the entire Captain Cook project, he sank his face and said to Feng Xiaochen: "Mr. Feng, I do not feel that this joke is very humorous, I am negotiating with you today with a sincere attitude, I hope you give us the same respect."

Feng Zhichen shrugged his shoulders, a look full of indifference, said: "Mr. Matsk, with all due respect, your sincerity is too self-righteous."I’ve also heard about the current situation with Captain Cook, and if you can’t find more money to invest in it, it’s likely to be delayed indefinitely.We are here to seek cooperation, we hope to get the technology we want from the cooperation, and you can get the financial support we provide, which is a cooperation that is good for both sides.

But your conditions for us are like a technology threat, we do not have the right to participate in the research and development of key technologies, and we can not get the full authorization of the relevant patents, we get just a ticket, and in fact, the EU is not the doorkeeper of this club, what do you have to sell us?

As for what you said I was just joking about, I want to clarify that what I just said is not a joke.I learned from my grandmother, Ms. Junlechin, that Mr. Matsk is a preeminent expert in offshore oil engineering and has extensive experience in offshore oil engineering management, and that if Mr. Matsk is interested in participating in a well-funded, determined sixth-generation platform development program at the decision-making level, we would be very welcome and pay you a high commission that perfectly matches your ability and prestige.”

“This...” Matsk instinctively felt that he should rebut a few words, but swallowed back to his mouth.We are all intelligent people, Feng Xiaochen said to this extent, Matsk to do what explanation, is not to insult Feng Xiaochen's IQ, but to insult his own IQ.He began to have some regrets, he should not be fooled by Heinzl and others to try to make the Chinese cheap, these people regard the Chinese as a fool, but the result is Matsk's face was beaten, this is not a generation of shot?

As for the last words of Feng Xiaochen, it is simply the corner of Captain Cook's project, and the corner of the chairman of Matsk is indeed very humiliating.But Matsk also can not refute, because people say very clearly that Europe's project is not funded enough, facing the danger of bad, and China's Zheng He captain plan is well-funded, people look at their own ability, willing to hire him as a consultant, and is still the chief consultant, this is a good idea, what can he say?

"I am sorry, Mr. Feng, for your good intentions, but since I am the Chairman of the Captain Cook Project Committee, I am afraid that it will not be convenient for the like-mindedness of your country."Matske Nee responded.

Feng Xiaochen said: "It is no matter, Mr. Matsk can consider it again, or he can observe it again."We had planned to spend $500 million on the Captain Cook project, but now it seems impossible.Therefore, we are ready to spend the $500 million to build a research institute in Europe, and to hire European experts to participate in the research work of Zheng He.Mr. Matsk may contact us at any time if he has the intention.If Mr. Matsk has any good friends who are interested in this project, they can also recommend it to us.Life is short, and instead of wasting time on a shell plan that is destined to be fruitless, it is better to devote yourself to a strong and vibrant project.”

The last sentence is simply awe-i-chee for Matsk.But Matsk could only laugh bitterly, because in his heart, he did not have the same view.He nodded to Feng Xiaochen and said, "Thank you, if I have any friends who are interested in your project, I will recommend it to you."

At this point, the two sides have nothing more to talk about.Feng Xiaochen and his party got up to say goodbye, and Matsk embarrassedly sent them out of the office building.

Leaving Captain Cook's project committee, Wang Weilong asked Feng Xiaochen, "Little Feng, is our trip a blank run?"

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "It can't be a white run, at least we still have hope to pry Matsk over it."

The cold flying cloud grunted and laughed, saying, “Wow, you are really damaged.”Running to people to negotiate and directly open the price to pry the chairman of the family, is this not a bully to bully home?”

Feng Xiaochen looked up and said, “Old cold, how can you think like this?”I also think for the old horse, let him play a little heat.Think about what the future holds for this Captain Cook project, the old horse is here, is a pure waste of youth... well, although he is not young, but he can not waste it?I asked him to come to our institute as a consultant, didn’t that show him a bright road?”

Cold flying cloud asked: "Whising, you just said that you would spend $500 million to build a research institute in Europe, will not mean our European research institute?"

Feng Xiaochen shook his head and said, “No.I was there just in Matsk, Matsk slides introduced a lot of experts, and their projects are now lack of funds, they can't get it, these experts are idle.Why don't we set up a special research institute and ask these experts to help us work.The old Matsk is very clear-eyed and has a good professional foundation, and it is absolutely worth the money to hire him as a principal consultant for $100,000.”

“I think it’s feasible.”Huang Ming interjected, “We originally planned to pay tuition, participate in Captain Cook’s project, and learn design technology from their experts.”Now that the plan doesn't work, let's pay the experts directly for their tuition, bring them over, and maybe it will cost less."

“That’s it.”“There is a saying in Matsk that we lack accumulation in offshore oil, and there are many scholars and engineers in Europe who have accumulated in this area, and we want to make full use of the knowledge and experience in their minds.”I thought first of all that I could set up a research institute in the Netherlands, located near the Captain Cook project, hire a group of European experts, and then send a group of young people from home to apprentice with them.As for the director of the institute...”

At this point, he smiled and glanced at Huang Ming, and saw that Huang Ming also cast a beam of eager eyes at him.
