Chapter 6 A Harmonious Atmosphere
Gao Qiang took out a printed document from his desk and handed it to Chen Mo. "This is a multi-Chinese translation of oil industry-specific terms, which is an internationally recognized standard translation answer in recent years, and although various new words are still emerging, these are enough for you to cope with your current job temporarily."
"Did you give it to me?" Chen Mo felt that this Gao Qiang was too good to himself, even if Kang Xuedong was standing behind him, he didn't have to scold himself like this. There is no love for no reason in this world, and he is not a woman, and there is a reason why opposites attract.
"You misunderstood, each of us has a copy of this answer on our computer, but we have to memorize them all, so I printed a copy out of it for easy reading. As for the new technical terms that came out later, you still need to count them yourself. ”
Without waiting for Chen Mo to speak, he leaned over and helped Chen Mo point out the thesaurus table in the computer. "You see, the standard answers are here, and they're updated every month, but they're mostly based on the application terms that appear in the market."
Chen Mo asked curiously, "Then where did these new terms come from?" ”
"The people in the Technology Collection Section subscribe to almost all oil-related magazines and periodicals around the world, as well as patents. New technological applications and new ideas that have emerged around the world will be recorded and enriched. These things are not of much use to others, but they are very practical to us. This is equivalent to a standard answer, so that we will not be unable to translate some words when facing various requests for proposals. ”
Chen Mo nodded, and asked again: "In addition to these, what do you think I need to strengthen myself?" ”
"Have you been in our industry before?"
Chen Mo didn't know how to answer, to say that he hadn't been in contact, he had read a lot of internal information about the petrochemical industry since he was a child, and he also had some memories of Lang Yufu's future. But when it comes to understanding, he has never been systematically exposed to this knowledge. Even if I had a month of pre-job training last month, it was more of a general study, involving his position, his personal work, and these general trainings could not produce any help.
Gao Qiang knew that this question was a little too general when he looked at his expression, so he changed his tone and asked: "Then I'll ask the simplest question, do you know which ten of the world's top ten oilfield technical service providers are?" ”
Chen Mo nodded and said: "I know some, the more famous ones are Schlumberger, Halliburton, Fluor, Offshore Oil, etc., since I haven't studied it in depth, except for Schlumberger being the largest, I don't know much about the other rankings." ”
Gao Qiang nodded and said: "According to this statement, then you don't know their technical advantages and shareholder composition." In this way, you spend a week to get a good understanding of this information, which is not an assessment, but a knowledge that must be mastered. We are buyers, and although we don't need to buy in person, we have to understand which company has a technical advantage in which industry. For example, offshore oil, although they are not as large as the others, but their technical reserves in offshore oil exploitation have a competitive advantage over the others, because the advantages of the others are mainly in land-based oil exploitation. Therefore, if Shengli Oilfield discovers new oil wells in the offshore area and wants to develop them, we will be more inclined to seek technical services from offshore oil companies, which can save us some detours. ”
Chen Mo asked curiously, "Aren't we all capable of mining ourselves?" ”
Gao Qiang sighed and said: "The development of the oil industry, just like the automobile industry, although we have been improving, but some foreign companies, they are developing faster than us. We struggled to solve a difficult problem, only to find out that the technology was outdated. However, we still have to do without research and development, because if there is a missing link in the middle and a link of technical reserves is missing, there will be a greater technical gap in our future technology mastery. Industry is a systematic project, which is like a precision machine, without any accessories, the machine cannot operate. ”
"At present, our country has mastered a full set of technologies in land-based oil exploitation, but it is still lagging behind the international level in terms of large-scale equipment or technical reserves of emerging equipment. This is not to say that we cannot mine ourselves, but the use of our own technology, the cost and utilization rate of development are far lower than the use of foreign advanced technology. To take the simplest example, with our own technology, it costs a thousand dollars to extract a ton of crude oil, and it also causes pollution. However, the use of foreign advanced technology only needs 800 yuan, and it will not cause pollution. ”
Chen Mo lowered his head, sighed and said, "If you fall behind, you will be exploited, and you will be beaten!" ”
Gao Qiang laughed and said: "Don't be so pessimistic, although we are still lagging behind in the application of high-end technology, but in terms of basic technology development, we have gradually pulled in with the world's advanced level." People in our industry always like to compare with the automobile industry, in the past, in our country, the energy and time spent on building a car have increased exponentially, and we can't even make steel plates for cars. But now, in addition to high-end electronic technology, engine and transmission technology, our technical reserves in other aspects of the car have reduced the cost to a lower stage than foreign countries. ”
Chen Mo asked curiously, "You seem to be very satisfied with our current situation?" ”
Gao Qiang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Always be optimistic!" Shame and courage, dedication and development, the road is long, we have to go up and down and struggle. ”
Gao Qiang pronounced the word "seeking" as struggle, but it lifted Chen Mo's spirits, because this is a sentence from Zheng Jun's lyrics. "You like rock 'n' roll too?!"
Gao Qiang squeezed his eyes and smiled: "This is my favorite song for picking up girls." ”
Chen Mo also laughed. "I know Zheng Jun and have the opportunity to drink together."
"Really?!" Gao Qiang was excited for a while, and unconsciously raised his voice, attracting everyone's attention. He smiled embarrassedly and waved his hand. "It's okay, don't look at me like this, I'll be shy."
Everyone laughed, and a fair-skinned, just a little fat girl smiled: "Section Chief Gao, I heard something, and I want to shut our mouths and prevent us from talking nonsense in front of my sister-in-law, but it depends on your sincerity." Chen Mo remembered that her surname was Yao, but she had introduced too many people at once just now, and she couldn't remember her name.
Gao Qiang patted his forehead, sighed and said, "I really forgot about your gang of ear newspapers, I am also unladylike......"
A group of girls laughed and scolded in unison, which can also be seen that Gao Qiang's popularity is still quite good. "It just so happens that Chen Mo is on his first day of work today, I'll go and apply to Section Chief Hu in a while, and today our office will also give Chen Mo a wind, so that you can always stop your mouth, right?!"
Everyone cheered in unison again, Zhao Xiaoli, who was already married, was almost the eldest among the women, she asked with a smile: "Chen Mo, do you have a girlfriend?" ”
Chen Mo deliberately pretended to be lost and said, "Alas...... When I came to work today, I found that there were so many beauties in Zhongyou, and I only hated myself for being restrained early. ”
Zhao Xiaoli also deliberately pretended to be displeased and said: "You men just don't have a good thing, this mountain looks at the high ...... of that mountain"
Gao Qiang said with a smile: "It's too much of a hurry at noon today, I'll take a look later, arrange a small-scale gathering in the evening, and find a place for these people in our department to get together." ”
"I'm here for a treat, I should be inviting you today."
"Let's talk about it next time, we have a small coffer, how can we let a private person pay for it today?!"
When it was time to get off work in the morning, Chen Mo finally had a preliminary understanding of his working environment. With him, these 16 translators are only a small part of the tens of thousands of foreign language talents of PetroChina, although PetroChina is not the world's No. 1 behemoth in later generations, but it is also a real multinational enterprise.
The talent pool in all aspects is not something that Chen Mo, a newcomer, can understand. However, from the staffing of all aspects, it can also be seen that CNPC has its own set of mature management mechanism, and everyone has their own position in this system.
The Translation Section of the Procurement Department, which is mainly responsible for the translation of tenders with international companies, is responsible for the translation of all materials related to tenders and the translation of receptions. Of course, it is impossible for them to complete such a large workload by relying on them alone, and when they are not enough personnel, they can mobilize personnel from other departments, but they are responsible for this aspect.
And when they have free time, they will also go to other departments to help, but they will only take on work tasks, not work responsibilities. With a strict management system, CNPC has turned everyone into a part of this huge system.
Under the guidance of Gao Qiang, he made a special trip to the data room of the purchasing department and borrowed a copy of all the materials related to his work. Of course, these are only general, and it is almost impossible to understand everything by one person. According to Gao Qiang, the various materials accumulated by the company in the past few decades are crammed into the basement under the building, and there are thousands of tons if not tens of thousands of tons.
