Chapter 014, You're Fired

() An hour later, Canglong read all the information and called Yan over: "Inform all the heads of the branch that I want to have a meeting, I don't care where they are, give them half an hour to come over, and if they can't get here, they will be dismissed on the spot."

"Half an hour" grim face surprised: "I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up in half an hour, some people are still on the oil field, it is more than ten kilometers away from here, and it is impossible to rush over."

"I need you to carry out the order, not to question the order," Canglong said, looking at his watch, "The timer begins"

The grim face was very ugly, and Vivian on the side quickly ran down, and asked strangely, "What the hell do you want to do?"

Canglong didn't answer, just took the information and handed it to her, saying: "This is the situation of the Rumaila oil field, in fact, the largest oil field, and it is not in our hands."

Vivian took the information and looked at it, and after a few minutes, she also frowned: "The largest oil field in the Rumaila oil field is still in the hands of the Russian Luke Company, and we have to negotiate with the Russians when we go in, but what is this deputy director going to talk about with the British?"

"This is the crux of the question," Canglong said with a calm face: "Longteng International relied on Russia to enter the Middle East market, Luke was the main partner, Iraq's new bidding for oil and gas fields was a trap in itself, and the contract signed by Luk's Saddam Hussein did not expire"

"Killing two birds with one stone," Vivian said strangely, "no, we can negotiate cooperation with Luke."

"No," Canglong shook his head, "This is a historical issue, the Russians signed a contract with Saddam, and the new bidding agreement is a piece of waste paper in their eyes, how can they let go easily, the important thing is that now Longteng International is pulling the British to develop together, completely leaving the Russians aside, what will the Russians think"

"He would have thought that we had turned our backs on them and started working with the Americans to grab their interests in Iraq," Vivian analyzed

"Yes," Canglong nodded, "the British company is willing to cooperate with Longteng International, I am afraid that there will be instructions from the Americans, and Britain has always been with the United States, so the Russians mistakenly think that we are actually seeking help from the United States, but in fact, we are begging for food in the cracks, and we have abandoned Russia, the most reliable partner."

Vivien frowned, if this is the case, Longteng International will not please the Americans, apparently preparing China and Russia to fight for the Rumaila oil field, so that this already strong cooperative relationship will be broken and become enemies, and in the end, they will enjoy the benefits of fishermen

"Didn't Mr. Lin have a countermeasure before," Vivian suddenly asked, such a trap, Lin Wanrou wouldn't have found out, but after Longteng International entered Iraq, it was so stupid to walk into the trap laid by the Americans in the middle of winter, which looked too weird

"Mother should have expected it, but it was too late when she expected it, because she was already lying on the hospital bed at that time, and she didn't have time to explain," Canglong shook his head, "and our Director Ye is still going according to the original plan, so that now it has reached the point of no return."

Saying that, Canglong handed Vivian another piece, which recorded the incident of the conflict on the Rumaila oil field, and recorded that many Chinese petroleum workers had a conflict with the Russians because of business problems, although the peace talks could not be concluded in the end, but such conflicts became more and more intense as the drilling team of Longteng International drove into the Rumaila oil field and established a base

There is also a document that shows that the deputy director, Wang Daoming, had a record of many unsuccessful negotiations with the Russian side, which may be why he went to the local zhèng fǔ and the British

Vivian looked at the piece of face and solemnized: "This is a mess, there is no way to find a way to live"

Canglong frowned and touched his chin: "It's still the same sentence, if we play according to the rules of the Americans, we can only follow their routines, and walk in the rules set by others, how can we win, so we have to make our own rules of the game."

"You mean to delay the development of the Rumaila field and avoid a further conflict with Luké," Vivian asked

"By the way, you'll know the other half," Canglong said, picking up the walkie-talkie on the table, "Snow leopard, are they all here?"

"Most of them are coming," said the snow leopard, "and a few are still on the way."

Put down the walkie-talkie, Canglong and Vivian came downstairs to the conference room, and saw the deputy director at first sight, his face was full of anxiety and dissatisfaction, and when he saw Canglong coming down, he forced out a smile and said: "Mr. Cang, why don't you say anything to me, I'm going to pick you up."

He didn't expect Canglong to ignore it in front of all the employees, although he felt a little embarrassed, but Wang Daoming, deputy director Wang, endured it, a person who could not even give face to the ambassador, leaving aside the ambassadors of various countries and Iraqi dignitaries, how could a person who didn't know where to go give him face

Canglong looked at Yan Yan with a serious face and asked, "How many people have not arrived?"

Yan Yan had a bitter face: "They are all important engineers in the oil field, and they are blocked in the urban area"

"Is this really the case" Canglong suddenly looked at him with a smile, making him furious for a while, he secretly glanced at Deputy Director Wang, and didn't know how to answer, because just now he heard Deputy Director Wang call the person in charge of the oil field and asked them not to come

Without waiting for him to answer, Canglong looked at his watch and announced slowly: "Let the logistics department buy them plane tickets, inform them that they have been fired, and now have a meeting"

There was a burst of discussion in the conference room, and they all looked at Deputy Director Wang, and it was Deputy Director Wang who lived up to expectations, and he reminded with a serious face: "President Cang, we are short of manpower now, and the people you want to fire are all oilfield engineers, all of them are in key positions, if you fire them, I'm afraid."

Wang Daoming's tone was a bit threatening, as if to say that if you fire them all, there will be no one to help us extract oil

Canglong looked at him coldly: "You are one of the two deputy directors who came to pick me up with Ye Lun at the airport."

"It's an honor that President Cang can still remember me," Wang Daoming said with a sarcastic look in his tone

"Yes, how could I not remember you," Canglong sneered, "I don't need you to question my orders, I just need you to carry out my orders, understand?"

Speaking of this, he also understood what Canglong meant, but he was not afraid of Canglong, but sneered: "Since President Cang wants to go his own way, then with all due respect, this is Iraq, not běi jīng, you can't be allowed to do anything here, even if you are the president, you must fire people, you must through the permission of Director Ye and our two deputy directors, you can't make assertions."

"Do you mean to say that Longteng International is a director system rather than a president system?" Canglong's tone was cold, and there was a bit of chill in his words

"Of course not, we respect Mr. Lin, she is your mother, we also respect you, if she wants to fire anyone, we don't have a second word, but you are different, you don't understand the situation at all, without our help, you don't have the ability to take charge of Longteng International," Wang Daoming threatened

"Let me tell you, since I am the president, I have full authority to represent my mother and the State Council, there are not many of them, and you are the same" Canglong showed a smile, "Now that you have been fired, I will buy a plane ticket to send you and your people back to Běi Jīng, and I will also inform the embassy that your work visa has expired"

The conference room was in an uproar, Wang Daoming looked at Canglong with a blue face, if he still had any scruples just now, then now Wang Daoming had no scruples at all, he stood up and said: "When you beg me, you will be fully responsible for messing up the Iraq strategy."

After speaking, he left the conference room angrily, but Canglong didn't care and said to the snow leopard: "Send someone to send our former deputy director Wang out, now he is no longer a person from Longteng International, for safety, he doesn't need to sort out anything that belongs to him, and the company will express it to him."

Wang Daoming paused at the door, and he could clearly see that he was trembling with anger by Canglong's words, but he didn't say anything

The conference room returned to calm, and Canglong continued: "Anyone who is ready to question my orders or think that they are indispensable, can stand up immediately and follow Deputy Director Wang out of here, I will also reimburse you for the air ticket, and pay you your salary on time, so that you can leave here with peace of mind."

Without speaking, they looked at each other, and a few people stood up and left, but most of them still stayed, so this branch, which was originally only a dozen people, was suddenly only ten staff left, of course, not counting the people brought by their security department and Canglong

"Isn't anyone ready to leave?" Canglong glanced at the people in the conference room

Everyone didn't speak, but nodded, Canglong changed his indifference just now, and said with a smile: "Now that I announce that Miss Vivian has become the deputy director of the Iraq branch of Longteng International, do you have any objections?"

The people in the conference room were speechless, how dare they question Canglong's orders, so they could only nod their heads one by one like rattles

"Grim, you leave the others to disperse," Canglong said calmly

When everyone reacted, they realized that Canglong's meeting was not a regular meeting at all, mainly for Deputy Director Wang, for a while, they all felt that the decision to stay just now was very wise, after all, they could not find such a well-paid job in China, although it was said that this was Iraq, they were all doing jobs, and they did not need to go to the oil fields with the most conflicts

After everyone left, only Vivian and Grim Canglong were left in the conference room, and they also stood up and walked to the door, saying as they walked, "Take me to the oil field"

Grim could only nod his head resignedly, seeing him like this, Canglong asked: "Do you have any objections to my dissatisfaction with my decision just now, I won't fire you?"

This sentence seemed to give a severe pardon order, but he still thought for a long time before saying: "Deputy Director Wang is the liaison officer in charge of Longteng International's main customer in southern Iraq, and he specializes in dealing with the British, and the British will definitely be dissatisfied, and you have dismissed the person in charge of the oil field and the chief engineer, how can we still extract oil?"

But Canglong asked: "Then do you think we can extract oil if I don't fire them?"

Grim obviously didn't think about it, but he soon found out that they were in a difficult situation now, so it didn't matter if there were these people or not, he had been in Iraq for no less than two years, and he also had some understanding of the situation here, in fact, everyone knew that as long as the Americans did not let go, China would not want to extract even a barrel of oil here

"So keeping them is just a waste of resources, and it's better to fire them," Canglong smiled

"But they know Iraq better than you do, that's absolutely," he reminded grimly

But before he finished speaking, Canglong smiled, he looked at Vivian and the members of Team B, who here doesn't know more about Iraq than Wang Daoming, I'm afraid Wang Daoming knows more about Iraqi officialdom, and Canglong just doesn't like to deal with these people, because it's not necessary
