The meeting was over, and Zhong Guangbiao was the last to come out of the conference room, looking a little lonely, and his whole body seemed to be carrying a heavy burden, which made him a little tired.

The bright hallway shone on his face, and he struggled to pick himself up and hurried back to his office.

The longer I took over, the more I felt the tremendous pressure on my shoulders.

You Wangang didn't lie to him.

The other party said that he had long wanted to unload the burden of the senior party official, chairman and general manager (director) of Changhe Petroleum Co., Ltd. (Changhe Petroleum Administration), but he had not been able to do so, and it was not until the province decided to form the Changhe Energy Group that the burden was successfully handed over to Zhong Guangbiao, but Zhong Guangbiao had always been skeptical about You Wangang's attitude.

In his opinion, Changhe Petroleum may have such and such problems as state-owned enterprises, but after all, it is such a large resource-based enterprise, and various businesses are also carried out normally, there is no reason to be as pessimistic as You Wangang said, and now the two refining and chemical enterprises have also been merged in recent years, forming an integration, and the competitiveness of the enterprise has also been greatly improved, so he thinks You Wangang is not a bit alarmist.

But as the research deepened and the more he understood, Zhong Guangbiao's mood began to become heavier and heavier.

He doesn't even have much energy to ask a few major coal companies now, and for him, the biggest problem in front of him is the problem of Changhe Petroleum and the two major refining companies.

There are many redundant personnel, heavy social burdens, outdated and backward equipment, low investment in technology research and development, high exploitation costs, and less and less profits, these problems he has long been mentally prepared, but there is only one problem he did not expect, or he did not expect to be so serious, that is, the recoverable oil and gas resources have been so depleted, and the situation in the new exploration area is not satisfactory, not to mention, but also faced with various disputes with PetroChina.

In the past month, he has been running to the two cities of Qindu and Wuyang, which are the main operating areas of Changhe Petroleum, especially Wuyang, and the feedback from all sides is not very good.

Changhe Petroleum has its own exploration research institute, and its technical strength is not weak, and it has been actively carrying out exploration operations in the demarcated area in recent years, but the feedback is not very good.

Or that the really valuable operation area has been registered by PetroChina early, even if they have not carried out drilling operations, they still belong to others.

Some areas with some value are registered by two families, and the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and it is difficult to explain it.

Because of this dispute, the conflict between the two sides has intensified since the past few years with the decline in the exploitation of the oil side of the Yangtze River.

The day before yesterday, the provincial government received a letter from PetroChina, accusing Changhe Petroleum of illegally invading the PetroChina registration block in Yitian County, Wuyang to carry out exploration and exploitation operations, triggering a conflict between the two sides.

Zhong Guangbiao was still researching in Qindu, but he had to drive back overnight to report to Wang Yunxiang with You Wangang and study the relevant situation.

In fact, there have been countless precedents for dealing with this kind of thing, which is nothing more than a war of words, then a relaxation of emotions, and finally a slow negotiation and negotiation, and finally a compromise that is destined to be unsatisfactory to both parties.

Either give way here, or take a step back there, or everyone breathe a sigh of relief, or just maintain the status quo for the time being, and everyone will not move, all in all, this kind of thing will not have any satisfactory results for everyone.

The problem is that there are more and more such things, and they are becoming more and more frequent, not only greatly involving their own energy, but more importantly, the oil family in the family has a big business, and there are bases in various parts of the north, which itself occupies a central advantage.

On the one hand, it is necessary to immediately promote enterprise reform, eliminate redundant personnel, and divest the enterprise of running the society, and at the same time speed up the transformation of the enterprise and find a new way out, otherwise in three or five years, once the business within the scope of Changhe Petroleum's current operation block is shrinking, then the problems it faces will be more severe, and may even evolve into a crisis.

In fact, this issue has been raised by You Wan when he first took office, and the provincial party committee and provincial government have also realized the urgency and severity of this problem.

At least now the coal market is still booming, the benefits of the coal industry are not bad, and after the refining and chemical merger, Changhe Petroleum can also form a vertical integration, even if the crude oil produced by Changhe Petroleum is insufficient in the future, you can also consider PetroChina to make up for the business, in this area of normal market business behavior, PetroChina will not refuse.

Zhong Guangbiao is also facing tremendous pressure now, transformation and enterprise reform, these two questions are more difficult to do.

Enterprise reform has already had a direction, stripping the society, the provincial government has a general intention, together with the transfer of relevant assets, schools, hospitals, etc. as a whole to the local government, 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 staff, and there are also some auxiliary enterprises, which should be decisively decoupled from the main business and pushed to the market.

The laid-off layoffs of enterprise employees are also a problem of scraping bones and healing, but they have to go, which is also a huge challenge for Zhong Guangbiao, but fortunately, he has also worked in the Sinicization Group for many years, and he is no stranger to this work.

The biggest headache for him is transformation.

Transformation is not something that can be done in a day or two, and even the direction is not clear.

Tens of thousands of workers, even if only a part of the transformation, is a huge matter, how to achieve the transformation? Without a detailed and feasible plan from the government, it is simply impossible.

At the same time, how will the transition adapt to the transformation for workers who have been in the oil industry for decades?

Sitting in the executive chair, Zhong Guangbiao rubbed his face.

For Zhong Guangbiao, there are many problems, but more importantly, he can't find a few people who can discuss with him, which is what makes him the most helpless.

The group company has just been established, several vice presidents, except for the one who came from the Provincial Economic Commission, can be regarded as talking to himself, and the other few are either from Changhe Energy, or from the three major coal industries and refining.

Distressed, but difficult to confide in others, Zhong Guangbiao sighed, picked up the phone, and suddenly moved in his heart.

"Zhengyang, where are you?"

"I know you're studying in the party school, so you should finish your studies now, right?" Zhong Guangbiao was a little funny, "Well, can you come out? ”

Half an hour later, Zhong Guangbiao's Lu Xun had already stopped at the gate of the party school, waiting for Sha Zhengyang to go out.

"Secretary Zhong, so leisurely?" Sha Zhengyang quipped as soon as he got in the car.

"Leisurely? Do you know that the night before yesterday I rushed back from Qindu overnight, studied for a night, and then the next day he and Governor You went to Governor Wang Province I to report to the work, yesterday I studied all day, arranged for someone to deal with it, this afternoon I was able to control the situation, barely calmed down, until now I haven't even eaten a bite of dinner. Zhong Guangbiao snorted.

"So serious?" As soon as he heard the control of the situation, Sha Zhengyang understood what the situation was, "It's making trouble with PetroChina again?"

"Hmph, how many times has it been in that year?" Zhong Guangbiao sighed, "But when is this the end? Turning over and over, every inch of land must be fought for, every inch of profit must be gained, for the two companies, it seems to have become a matter of life and death, but people can afford to toss oil, what about 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 eat?"

"If you don't eat, you don't have an appetite, so let's find a place to sit. Zhong Guangbiao started the car a little tired and drove straight into the lane.

Feeling that Zhong Guangbiao's mood was not very good, Sha Zhengyang was relieved: "Every time you arrive in a new environment, you must have an adaptation period, just take your time." ”

"Zhengyang, it's not that simple. Zhong Guangbiao looked ahead, "I still underestimate the difficulty, the longer I stay, the more I understand, the more I feel that this task is too challenging, no wonder Governor Wang I specifically told me to have some psychological preparation for frustration and suffering, I haven't experienced it before, and now I understand it." ”

Sha Zhengyang thought thoughtfully, "Secretary Zhong, what do you mainly mean by suffering hardships and setbacks?"

Zhong Guangbiao glanced at Sha Zhengyang and nodded, "I found you out today, in fact, I just want to talk to you, I think your brain is more flexible than ordinary people, and I am also good at engaging in business, you say that enterprise reform is good, I also understand, but I always feel that my thinking is always stuck in the inherent thinking, many times out of the box, unlike you, many ideas are ingenious, find another way, I just want you to help me to Changhe Energy also take the pulse, see if there are any new ideas, give me some suggestions." ”

"Secretary Zhong, you think too highly of me, how can I have such great ability?" Sha Zhengyang said with a smile: "But I really like some challenging things, and I won't tell you that I have been thinking about it during this time, my roommate is Chao Hanzhong, director of the Mining and Energy Department of the Provincial Planning Commission, he has introduced me a lot of information, I think it is very meaningful." ”
