Volume Five, Chapter 119, Difficulty, Take the Pulse
The meeting ended, and Zhong Guangbiao was the last to come out of the conference room, looking a little lonely and lonely, and his whole body seemed to be carrying a heavy burden, which made him a little tired.
The bright corridor shone alone in his shadow. He tried hard to cheer up and speeded up his pace to return to his office.
The longer you take over, the more you can feel the huge pressure on your shoulders.
You Wangang didn't lie to him.
The other party said that he had long wanted to remove the burden of a senior party official, chairman and general manager (director) of Changhe Petroleum Co., Ltd. (Changhe Petroleum Administration Bureau), but he had not been able to do so. It was not until the province decided to establish Changhe Energy Group that the burden was successfully handed over to Zhong Guangbiao. However, Zhong Guangbiao had always been skeptical of You Wangang's attitude.
In his opinion, Changhe Petroleum may have problems with state-owned enterprises, but after all, it is such a large resource-based enterprise, and all businesses are also underway. There is no reason to be as pessimistic as You Wangang said. And now the two refining and chemical companies have been merged in recent years to form an integration, which has greatly improved the competitiveness of the company. So he thinks You Wangang is a bit alarmist.
However, as the research deepened and the more we learned, Zhong Guangbiao's mood began to become heavier.
He doesn't even have much energy to ask about the major coal companies now. For him, the biggest problem facing him is Changhe Oil and the two major refining issues.
He had been mentally prepared for many redundant staff, heavy social burdens, outdated and backward equipment, low investment in technology research and development, high mining costs and less profits. However, he had been mentally prepared for these problems, but he did not expect that it would be so serious, that is, the exploitable oil and gas resources were exhausted so much, and the situation in the new exploration area was not satisfactory, but he also faced various disputes with CNPC.
This month, he has been traveling to Qindu and Wuyang. These two cities are the main operating areas of Changhe Petroleum, especially Wuyang. The news received from all sides is not very good.
Changhe Petroleum has its own exploration research institute and its technical strength is not weak. In recent years, it has been demarcating the area and actively carrying out exploration operations, but the news received is not very good.
Or in other words, valuable operating areas have been registered early by CNPC. Even if they have not yet carried out drilling and mining operations, they still belong to them.
Some areas with some value are registered by two companies. The husband has his own reasons, and the mother has his own reasons, which is hard to describe.
Because of this kind of dispute, the conflict between the two sides has become increasingly fierce since the decline in the exploitation volume of Changhe Oil.
The day before yesterday, the provincial zhèngfu received another letter from CNPC accusing Changhe Petroleum of illegally invading the CNPC registered block in Yitian County, Wuyang, for exploration and mining operations, which triggered a conflict between the two sides. CNPC has reported the situation to the State Council, and the State Council is also asking about the situation of the provincial zhèngfu.
Zhong Guangbian was also in Qindu for investigation, so he had to drive back overnight, report to Wang Yunxiang with You Wangang and study the relevant situation.
In fact, there have been countless precedents in dealing with such things, which are nothing more than talking, then ease emotions, and finally slowly negotiate and negotiate, and finally barely reach a compromise plan that neither side is destined to be satisfied.
Either let it go, or take a step back, or everyone can relax, or keep the status quo for the time being, and no one can move. In short, this kind of thing cannot have any result that will satisfy everyone.
The problem is that there are more and more such things, and they are becoming more and more frequent. Not only does it greatly involve one's own energy, but more importantly, the Chinese Petroleum family has a great business and has bases in various parts of the north, which itself has a central advantage. Even if these areas are disputed, it will not have much impact, but it will have a great impact on Changhe Oil, which is increasingly shrinking.
As You Wangang said, Changhe Petroleum now needs to make major decisions. On the one hand, it must immediately promote enterprise reform, lay off redundant employees, and divest enterprises and run society. At the same time, it must accelerate enterprise transformation and find new ways out. Otherwise, three to five years later, Changhe Petroleum's current business within the operating block will shrink, and the problems faced will become more severe and may even turn into a crisis.
This issue has actually been raised when You Wan was in office, and the provincial party committee and provincial government have also realized the urgency and severity of this issue. In fact, the integration of the three major coal industries and refining is not just about binding them together to make them bigger and stronger.
At least the coal market is still booming now, and the benefits of the coal industry are not bad. After refining and chemical integration, Changhe Petroleum can also form a vertical integration. Even if the crude oil produced by Changhe Petroleum in the future is insufficient, you can consider making up for the business from Petroleum. In this area, CNPC will not refuse normal market business behavior.
Zhong Guangbiao is also facing tremendous pressure now, transformation and enterprise reform, these two questions are more difficult to do.
Enterprise reform has already taken a direction. If the sector is divested from society, the province has already had a general intention and adopts the method of transferring relevant assets together to transfer schools, hospitals, etc. to local governments. At the same time, the province and enterprises will also have some policies and transfer payment support for the transfer of this part of the employees. In addition, some enterprises belonging to auxiliary industries must decisively decouple from their main business and push them to the market.
The layoffs and layoffs of enterprise employees are also a problem of scraping bones and healing injuries, but they have to leave. This is also a huge challenge for Zhong Guangbiao. Fortunately, he has worked in the Chinese Group for many years and is not unfamiliar with this work. No matter how hard or tiring he is, he will continue.
The most difficult thing to make him feel is transformation.
Transformation cannot be achieved in one or two days, and it is not even clear in direction. How to turn? In which direction?
Tens of thousands of employees, even if they are only part of the transformation, is a huge matter. How to achieve transformation? Without a detailed and feasible plan from zhèngfu, it is simply impossible.
At the same time, transformation is for workers who have worked in the oil industry for decades, how do they adapt? These are all problems.
Sitting in the chair of the senior class, Zhong Guangbiao rubbed his face.
For Zhong Guangbiao, there are many problems, but the more important thing is that he can't find a few people who can discuss with each other, which is what makes him the most helpless.
The group company was just formed, and several vice presidents, except for the one who came from the Provincial Economic Commission, who was still able to tell him, the others were either from Changhe Energy, or from the three major coal industries and refining. Now they know people but not the ones. Many jobs are very enthusiastic, but in terms of specific implementation, everyone is silent.
With thousands of troubles, but it is difficult to tell others, Zhong Guangbiao sighed, picked up the phone, and suddenly felt aroused.
"Zhengyang, where are you?"
"I know you are studying at the Party School, and you should finish your studies now, right? Evening self-study, do you still have evening self-study?" Zhong Guangbiao was a little funny, "Well, can you come out? You have to ask for leave, okay, you go and ask for leave. If it really doesn't work, I'll help you."
Half an hour later, Zhong Guangbiao's Land Cruiser had already stopped at the gate of the Party School and waited to go out at Sha Zhengyang.
"Secretary Zhong, is it so leisurely?" Sha Zhengyang joked as soon as he got in the car.
"You leisure? Do you know that the night before yesterday I rushed back from Qindu overnight and studied for a night. Then the next day, I went to Wang Provincial Chief I with Provincial Chief I to report on the work. Yesterday, I studied for a whole day and arranged for someone to deal with it. This afternoon, I was considered to have controlled the situation and barely calmed down. Until now, I haven't even had a bite of supper." Zhong Guangbiao said with a snorted.
"So serious?" As soon as he heard about controlling the situation, Sha Zhengyang understood what was going on. "Have you started to make trouble with CNPC again?"
"Hmph, there have been several times in this year?" Zhong Guangbiao sighed, "But when will this end? After going back and forth, you will fight for an inch of land and gain profit. For both companies, it seems that it is related to life and death. But CNPC can afford to deal with it, where is our Changhe Oil?"
Sha Zhengyang was also a little surprised when he saw that Zhong Guangbiao was driving in person, "Where are you going to have a meal?"
"I won't eat anymore, I have no appetite, find a place to sit." Zhong Guangbiao started the car tiredly and drove straight into the lane.
Feeling that Zhong Guangbiao was in a bad mood, Sha Zhengyang comforted: "Every time we get to a new environment, we need to have an adaptation period, just take it slowly."
"Zhengyang, it's not that simple." Zhong Guangbiao looked ahead, "I still underestimated the difficulty. The longer I stayed and the more I learned, the more I felt that this task was too challenging. No wonder Minister Wang told me specifically that he had to be mentally prepared to suffer setbacks. I hadn't experienced it before, but now I understand it."
Sha Zhengyang thought, "Secretary Zhong, what are the main aspects you mean when you are suffering and frustrated?"
Zhong Guangbiao looked at Sha Zhengyang and nodded, "I found you today. Actually, I just want to talk to you. I think your mind is more flexible than ordinary people. I am good at building a business. I understand what kind of business reform you say is good, but I always feel that my thinking is still stuck in the inherent thinking. Many times I can't break out of the rut. Unlike you, many ideas are unique and different ways. I want you to help me take the pulse of Changhe Energy to see if there are any new ideas and give me some suggestions."
