Chapter 862: China's Enclave

"Director Guo, we finally have you here." After the other "unrelated" recruits left, Chu Xuji, Wen Baoheng, and others, who were more than one level lower, came over to talk to Guo Zhuocheng, and these Jingying from China scrambled to speak from the heart.

At present, China's recruitment in the Pokhazia region of Iraq is divided into three major parts: one part has become employees of "China Overseas Energy Group Corporation", which is referred to as "China Energy"; One part of the work is in the "China Overseas Chemical Group Corporation", the company is referred to as "China Chemical"; There is also a part of the company called "China Geological Exploration Company", which is referred to as "China Exploration".

At present, there are only a few domestic technical experts and management staff in this company, together with several hired foreign experts in the early design of the ethylene base, the whole company and related projects have not yet entered the preparatory stage, and the future company is still affiliated with the name of "China Energy".

As a representative of the Chinese side, Chu Xuji served as chairman and deputy general manager of "China Energy". And Davidson, who was hired by the United States with a high salary, served as the general manager and CEO.

The "China Exploration" campaign is all undertaken by China, and the oil workers in it -- mainly those engaged in exploration and drilling -- are basically drawn from China's major oil fields, and they are also redundant personnel from the major oil fields, with an income of as high as 30,000. If it were not for the consideration of international influence, if it were not for the fact that it had to absorb some Iraqi local imports in order to reduce the contradiction with Iraq's local imports, it would be a pure Chinese oil army, and the number of imports might be as high as 50,000 or even 80,000.

At the beginning of his tenure, he ordered the establishment of a new province of Pokhazia, which previously belonged to several different provinces and regions. He also made Chu Xuji the vice governor of the province.

Uday's request to this province is to fully cooperate with China's oil exploitation and social security management, and to create a safe environment for China's entry here, and the area of China's entry will be managed by China itself, so it can be said that it has almost become an enclave of China. It's just that China does not seek hegemony, will not station troops here, will not build military bases here.

Because the Pokhaz region is a remote, desolate, sparsely imported, and economically impoverished region, the rezoning did not cause too many administrative disputes in the region, and the provinces that were carved out did not have any problems. They also don't know if the Pokhaz region is rich in oil, and although two high-quality industrial wells have been drilled there, such wells may be rare in other regions, but they are common in the Middle East and don't say much. Whether such a large desolate land can be developed, almost all of them are full of doubts.

Besides, Uday has just sat on the presidency, who will have trouble with him? Scratch off a piece, just scratch off a piece.

A few of them had not stayed in the waiting room for long, and before they had finished their pleasantries, the airport staff informed them to board the plane bound for the Pokhaz region.

On the plane, Chu Xuji and Wen Baoheng made brief reports to Guo Zhuocheng on the situation of their own companies.

So far, due to time constraints, the work here has not yet been fully formalized. In the beginning, the original Zhonghua Energy Company only owned two industrial oil wells, and they could not digest the crude oil from these two wells, so they had to transport some of them to the port by tanker trucks, where they sold them to foreign countries, and the rest were refined in the newly built refinery. Because the pipeline and railway have been built, they have not yet been finally accepted, and the transportation of crude oil can only be carried by trucks with tanks.

Only a small part of the relevant refining facilities have been completed, and most of the equipment has not yet arrived. However, even so, the refined gasoline and diesel fuel can not only meet the base's own needs, but also have a lot to export. As for the chemical plant, it will take a considerable time before it is possible to put it into production, and equipment is now being ordered all over the world.

However, all the Chinese entrants here are full of confidence in the future. This confidence is naturally due to the two oil wells drilled, which are nothing in Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, but they are a great treasure for the Chinese who come here, because these two wells are self-jetting, the extraction cost is very low, and the crude oil quality is very high, with low sulfur content and low water content, which is far better than the crude oil produced in China's domestic oil fields.

With such good crude oil, this overseas base will not lose money, and everyone will have value here, and they will be able to contribute to the country and seek benefits for themselves.

Of course, the current ideological realm is very high, and everyone does not think about personal interests, but only hopes that they can contribute to the country, and what they do can be worthy of the country's "high salary". Their white spoon wages are now paid by Guo Zhuocheng, but they don't know, and even if they do, they will think that it is the state's money, because they are used to saying that the salary is the state.

These two oil wells almost did not cost exploration costs, only a few drilling costs, naturally thanks to Guo Shucheng's golden finger, because he visited here in his previous life, with his memories of the surrounding terrain, very accurate pointed out the location of two oil wells about ten kilometers apart in the previous life, and the drill bit drilled there will be crude oil gushing out.

However, Guo Zhuocheng's golden finger is limited to this, and he remembers the location of other oil wells here. In his previous life, he only came here to see the flowers, as a zhèngfu official, and he spent more time on socializing and visiting those large refinery projects.

In his previous life, he just sat in the car for a while, and the host party only let them enjoy the desert scenery here. If it weren't for the fact that there were several mountains and a small river around him, he wouldn't be sure of the location of the two wells.

After getting off the plane, the group entered the car and arrived at the headquarters of China Energy Group Corporation. Davidson took the company's senior leaders to greet in front of the company's headquarters, and about one-third of the greeting team belonged to the company's leadership, whether it was technology or management, they occupied a more important position, and most of the Chinese people were their white spoon deputies and their white spoon students.

These foreign recruits not only hold high positions, but their salaries are more than 10 times or even dozens of times higher than those of Chinese employees at the same level, and this is still a situation when the Chinese side has greatly increased the salaries of Chinese recruits. Otherwise, the gap is even greater.

At present, the average wage level in China is only 40 or 1/50 of the average salary in developed countries, and the high salaries enjoyed by these hired foreigners are very high in the developed countries of the West. For example, Guo Zhuocheng and the CEO of Davidson are offered an annual salary of as high as $4.8 million, and if the company's efficiency is good and the target value of the agreement signed by the two sides is reached, his salary will rise.

The annual salary of $4.8 million may not be intimidating in the previous life, but in this era, especially in the minds of China in this era, it is an unimaginable figure, and the net income of a medium-sized enterprise in China is not so much in a year, which is equivalent to the fact that we in China have to have a medium-sized enterprise to work for him to make money.

There is no way, Guo Zhuocheng has to do this, and he has to pay such a high price.

Because his goal is not only to build China Energy Group Corporation into an excellent enterprise that can enter the world's top 100, but also to turn this enterprise into a Whampoa Military Academy for Chinese entrepreneurs, and to train these thousands of management departments from China into excellent managers with modern enterprise management experience, hoping that they will be able to take charge of their own affairs after returning to China in the future, and can build and operate successful modern enterprises.

In order to achieve this goal, there must be losses, and it is necessary to use high salaries to attract a large number of capable and capable international senior management talents.

To put it bluntly, Guo Zhuocheng does not expect these companies to make money in the near future, but only hopes that they can protect their capital, maintain high entry costs and business operating costs, and provide China with a steady stream of resource-based products such as crude oil, gasoline, diesel, and gas at reasonable prices.

As long as it is not a big loss, it is a profit, because in the previous life, China did not have this large amount of resources, and the resources that were continuously transported into China were all in vain.

In terms of business operation, Guo Zhuocheng does not have any psychological burden, but it is a little difficult to explain the reason why the company does not vigorously pursue profits when reporting to the leadership. However, because the company's investment is all his own funds, the leader will not talk about him no matter how much he doubts in his heart, and will take the initiative to favor Guo Zhuocheng's position, praising Guo Zhuocheng as a member who serves the country wholeheartedly.

Guo Zhuocheng entered the newly built company building surrounded by the crowd. On behalf of the relevant departments of China, Guo Zhuocheng expressed his gratitude to these foreign employees, praised their achievements, and at the same time expressed encouragement and gratitude to the Chinese employees for their serious work and full cooperation with the work of foreign employees.

Because Guo Zhuocheng is not ready to meddle in the company's internal affairs management, so what he said is basically in the official language, only when Davidson raised some difficulties, Guo Zhuocheng seriously responded, can be solved as a solution, can not be solved for a while, then the answer should be recorded in the form of a memorandum, and after returning to China to apply to the superior to solve.
