"Zhengyang, you also have to understand the difficulties of the broad standard, Changhe Petroleum plus two major refining, as well as the three major coal industries, the three major coal industries are now slightly better, but the next step of Changhe Petroleum and the two major refining and chemical companies will definitely have some workers laid off, the opinion of the provincial party committee and the provincial government is that this is the general trend of state-owned enterprise reform, but we can't just push them to the society, every worker represents a family, they are the pillars of the family, we must strive to create employment opportunities for them. ”

On this issue, You Wangang did not dare to let go.

It is the general trend that some employees of Changhe Petroleum and the two major refining and chemical companies will be laid off, and some of them may have to be transferred to Changchuan Industrial, which is also discussed by You Wangang and Zhong Guangbiao.

The scale of layoffs is too large, which will inevitably cause tremendous pressure on social stability, and the Hanchuan Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government must definitely consider this.

Changchuan Industry is equivalent to a buffer platform, some employees are transferred to Changchuan Industry, and Changchuan Industry has a wide range of industries, and the employees who can absorb it are relatively adaptable.

"You high-ranking officials, you are passing on the difficulties and problems to me. Sha Zhengyang made a bitter face, "I said why did a chairman hat fall on my head all of a sudden, and it turned out that there was this ambush here for a long time." ”

"Zhengyang, you are a party cadre, the organizational arrangement, you must obey, whether there is this or not, whether it is an ambush or not, you have to share the pressure and responsibility for the group. You Wangang solemnly said: "To solve the problem of the livelihood of laid-off workers, this is not only a corporate responsibility, but also a political responsibility, I also understand the difficulties of Changchuan industry, the provincial party committee and the provincial government and the group party committee will also consider to support in other aspects, what difficulties, Changchuan industry can also be raised." ”

Seeing that You Wangang's attitude became serious, Sha Zhengyang also knew that this was probably a political task that could not be shirked.

This year is only a preparatory stage, and it is estimated that starting next year will be a tough year for comprehensively promoting the reform of state-owned enterprises.

The Hanchuan Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government have been taking precautions and are already considering the risks in this regard, and trying their best to alleviate the pressure through various channels.

In fact, the best way to solve the laid-off workers of state-owned enterprises is to create more jobs, You Wangang and Zhong Guangbiao are so optimistic about themselves, thinking that they can create a miracle like Dongfanghong Group to help Changhe Energy Group absorb more workers who have retired from their main business.

"Governor You, you have said so, what else can I say? I can only say that I will do my best. Sha Zhengyang sighed, "But I also said in advance, Changchuan Industry will be fully integrated in the future, and large-scale adjustments will be made to various branches and subsidiaries in various sectors, and several fist industries will be created in the future, and the group may have to get full support in all aspects, personnel, funds, talents, etc., otherwise I can only push the cup." ”

"Zhengyang, I have discussed with Guangbiao, that is, I believe in your ability, so I will arrange you in this position, the group party committee stands firmly behind you, although you boldly let go of it, if there is any problem, the group party committee is your firm backing. You Wangang encouraged.

If you don't encourage it, Sha Zhengyang dares to say so, and he must have a certain degree of certainty.

At the beginning, the group company was most worried and troubled by Changchuan Industry, and now it seems that Sha Zhengyang seems to have a little confidence.

Zhong Guangbiao proposed that some of the laid-off workers be transferred to Changchuan Industry, and You Wangang was actually a little worried in his heart, worried that Sha Zhengyang would quit, but now it seems that the situation is not as bad as imagined.

Sha Zhengyang only put forward some other requirements, which are not a problem, for You Wangang, if the pressure of some laid-off workers can be solved, it is simply the greatest support.

"That's decided, I'll come to the door when the time comes, especially senior officials, don't deny it. Sha Zhengyang still has some confidence in his heart.

97 and 98 to 2000 should be the most difficult years for state-owned enterprises, climbing the slope, but it is also a few years of China's economic explosive growth, and the rapid development of secondary and tertiary industries has actually absorbed a lot of employed people.

The key lies in whether you can do a good job in the training and arrangement of these laid-off and re-employed workers.

Push it all to society, let them fend for themselves, let them learn and train new skills on their own, and then look for jobs, how can it be so simple?

It is not easy even in a Western country with a long history of experience abroad, let alone in a place like the country where there is no experience and rushes into battle.

Therefore, it is particularly important to have a relatively complete and targeted training system to help these laid-off and reemployed workers learn new skills, find new jobs, and make them dignified employment.

This is not a simple job, and Sha Zhengyang does not have the ability to influence this society, but he hopes to do this work better within the scope of his ability, so that Changchuan Industry can become a model in this regard.

Back in Almaty, there is still a lot of work to come.

Almaty, the largest city in the southeastern corner of Kazakhstan, has only recently been the capital, and Astana will replace it as the new capital, but it is still the capital.

Dealing with the Kazakh government is also quite complicated, but it is essential.

The Americans have made a good start, and JP Morgan has been in contact with the Kazakh State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Bureau, which represents the Kazakh government, to articulate some of the ideas of Changhe Energy Group as a Chinese-owned company, helping the Kazakh government to upgrade its refining capacity and build new gas processing enterprises as a potential factor in winning the Aktobe project.

Of course, some things can be put on paper, but some things can only be discussed verbally for the time being.

But as long as there is an intention in this regard, Sha Zhengyang believes that the Kazakh side will be tempted.

Although Kazakhstan is very rich in oil and gas resources, in terms of oil refining capacity, with the disintegration of the former Soviet Union and the passage of time, the aging equipment and slow technology update have increasingly become the main reason for the problem and constraint of its refining capacity.

Kazakhstan's three major oil refineries – Shymkent, Atyrau and Pavlodar – all have an impact on this factor, of course, the biggest factor is capital, technology is also one thing.

The central government of Kazakhstan has been hoping to help the three major oil refineries to renovate or build new ones to meet the country's domestic demand for refined oil products, but foreign oil companies have shown little interest in this, preferring to the unexplored oil and gas resources along the Caspian Sea in Kazakhstan.

When Chinese companies proposed that they could cooperate in this area, the Kazakh government was of course moved.

"Listen, Mark, if we want to form a written agreement, it can only be used as a supplementary contract, provided that we get the right to build the oil and gas pipeline from Kinkyak to Atyrau, we can't make too many concessions on the project itself, that's the bottom line,......"

Sha Zhengyang leaned on the table with one hand and drew with a signature pen in the other.

After more contact with JP Morgan's project director, Sha Zhengyang's impression of this supervisor has improved a lot.

This guy has the straightforward and fiery personality of a typical Texas cowboy, is extremely serious about his work, and is desperate to do anything as soon as he gets into the work state, but in private he is a very good friend.

"Hey, Sha, you have to understand, now that we want to defeat Texaco and Amoco, let these two go back to their hometown, we must make conditions that make the Kazakh side tempted, you know very well that your Changhe Energy cannot be compared with Texaco or Amoco in any aspect, we must make some concessions, and we must also have something new enough to impress the Kazakh side, do you understand what I mean?"

There was a certain kind of fanatical passion in Mark's gray-blue eyes, and it was clear that he saw the project as a turning point in his career in China.

He was frustrated by the failure of the cooperation with PetroChina, but in the blink of an eye, a new opportunity came, and this time he would not let it slip away.

"Mark, Texaco is your hometown business, but Amoko is said to be hooking up with the British and preparing to sell himself to BP, is there such a thing?" Sha Zhengyang diverted the topic.

"Sha, can we be professional? There's nothing wrong with Texaco going back to Texas, are you questioning my professionalism?" Mark scolded, "It's not a bad thing for Amoco to sell to those hypocritical Brits, they're not doing well lately, let the Brits worry about Amoco's shit." ”

Sha Zhengyang saw that the other party was a little unhappy, and laughed, "Okay, okay, let's get back to business, ok, the pipeline from Kenkiyak to Atyrau should be included in the terms, well, it can be packaged with the Aktobe project, I believe that Kazakhstan will not refuse, this pipeline will not be built in two years,......"

"Sha, are you confident that you can increase the production of Kenkiyak to the point where it can satisfy the Orsk refinery and deliver oil to Atyrau?" Mark, surprised.

Although he is not from the oil industry, he is well aware of the situation of the Aktobe project, and he has a large group of professionals under him to analyze the current production and future production capacity of the two major oil fields of the Aktobe oil company, Kenquiac and Jeannanor.

Even if Changhe Energy Group transforms the two major oilfields after taking over, its production capacity will at most maintain its original state and increase slightly, even if it is good, it is unlikely to increase much, unless it ......

"Sha, do you think the pre-salt oil fields in Kenkiac are worth exploiting?" Mark is not stupid, and naturally wants to get it.

"Sorry, Mark, this is our trade secret. Sha Zhengyang shrugged.

"Shit's trade secrets!" Mark dismissed, "Okay, I won't ask, since you are so confident, well, this can be included, but how to convince the Kazakh side?"
