"Zhengyang, you also need to understand the difficulties of Guangfa. Changhe Petroleum plus two major refining and chemical industry, and there are three major coal industries. The situation of the three major coal industries is slightly better now, but Changhe Petroleum and the two major refining and chemical industry will definitely be laid off in the next step. The provincial party committee and government's opinion is that reducing staff and increasing efficiency is a major trend in state-owned enterprise reform, but we cannot push them to society casually. Every employee represents a family, and they are the pillars of the family. We must work hard to create employment opportunities for them."

You Wangang dared not let go of this issue.

It is a general trend that some employees of Changhe Petroleum and the two major refining and chemical workers may have to be transferred to Changchuan Industrial, which was also negotiated by You Wangang and Zhong Guangbiao.

The large scale of laid-offs will inevitably cause huge pressure on social stability. The Hanchuan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government must consider this.

Changchuan Industrial is equivalent to a buffer platform, and some employees are transferred to Changchuan Industrial. Changchuan Industrial has a wider industry field, so the employees that can be absorbed are relatively more adaptable.

"You Gaoguan, you are passing the difficulties and problems on my head." Sha Zhengyang looked bitter, "I asked why the hat of a chairman fell on my head at once? It turned out that this ambush was here after a long time."

"Zhengyang, you are a party cadre, and you must obey the organizational arrangements. No matter whether there is this happening or not, or whether it is an ambush, you have to share the pressure and responsibility for the group without hesitation." You Wangang said sutra: "Solving the livelihood problems of laid-off workers is not only a corporate responsibility, but also a political responsibility. I also understand the difficulties of Changchuan Industrial. The Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Government and the Group Party Committee will also consider and support them in other aspects. If there are any difficulties, Changchuan Industrial can also raise them."

Seeing that You Wangang became serious, Sha Zhengyang also knew that this was probably a political task that could not be pushed away.

This year is only a preparation stage, and it is estimated that next year will be the year to comprehensively promote the reform of state-owned enterprises.

The Hanchuan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government are preparing for the future and are already considering the risks in this regard and using various channels as much as possible to relieve stress.

In fact, the best way to solve the laid-off of state-owned enterprise employees is to create more jobs. You Wangang and Zhong Guangbiao are both optimistic about themselves, believing that they can create miracles like Dongfanghong Group and help Changhe Energy Group absorb more employees who have withdrawn from their main business.

"Governor You, you said that, what else can I say? I can only say that I can do my best." Sha Zhengyang sighed, "But I also have something to say first. Changchuan Industrial will be fully integrated in the future and make large-scale adjustments to various branches and subsidiaries. In the future, it will build several flagship industries. In all aspects, it may need to obtain the full support of the group, personnel, funds, talents, etc. Otherwise, I can only give up the cup."

"Zhengyang, Guangbiao and I have discussed it specifically, that is, we believe in your ability, so we will arrange you in this position. The Party Committee of the Group is firmly standing behind you. Even if you have any problems, the Party Committee of the Group is your firm backing." You Wangang encouraged.

It’s not enough to discourage it. Sha Zhengyang dares to say this, so he must be sure.

The one that made the group company most worried and difficult was Changchuan Industrial. Now it seems that Sha Zhengyang seems to feel a little confident.

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

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

"That's a matter of certainty. I'll come to you by then. Senior Officer You, please don't refuse to admit it." Sha Zhengyang was still a little confident in his heart.

1998 to 2000 should be the most difficult years for state-owned enterprises, and they have climbed up the straits, but it is also a few years of China's economic growth. The rapid development of the secondary and tertiary industries has actually absorbed a lot of employed people.

The key is whether you can do a good job in training and arrangements for these laid-off and re-employed employees.

It is not that easy to push all into society, let them live on their own, let them learn and train new skills on their own, and then find a job?

Even in Western countries with long-term historical experience abroad, it is not easy, let alone in a place where there is no experience and hastily going on the battlefield.

Therefore, this requires a relatively complete and targeted training system to help these laid-off and re-employed workers learn new skills, find new positions, and also to enable them to have dignified employment. This is particularly important.

This is not a simple job, and Sha Zhengyang does not have the ability to influence this society, but he hopes to do this job better within his ability and make Changchuan Industry a model in this regard.

Returning to Almaty, there is still a lot of work to do.

As the largest city in the southeast corner of Kazakhstan, Almaty has been in its capital for a short time. Astana will replace it as the new capital, but it is still the capital now.

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

Americans have made a good start. JP Morgan has had contact with the Kazakh State-owned Assets Administration, which represents the Kazakh government, to clarify some of the ideas of Changhe Energy Group, a Chinese-funded enterprise, and to help the Kazakh government improve oil refining capacity and build new natural gas processing enterprises as a potential factor in winning the Akdobin project.

Of course, some things can be shaped on paper, but some things can only be temporarily discussed orally.

But as long as there is an intention in this regard, Sha Zhengyang believes that Kazakhstan will be moved.

Although Kazakhstan is very rich in oil and gas resources, its refining capacity has become the main reason for plaguing and restricting its refining capacity with the collapse of the former Soviet Union and the passage of time.

The three major refineries in Kazakhstan, Atlau and Pavlodal all have these factors. Of course, the biggest factor comes from capital, and technology is also one aspect.

The central government of Kazakhstan has always hoped to help the three major refining companies transform or build new refining companies to meet Kazakhstan's own refined oil needs, but foreign oil companies are not very interested in this. They are more interested in the oil and gas resources in the Caspian Sea region that Kazakhstan has not yet explored and exploited.

When Chinese companies proposed that they could cooperate in this regard, the Kazakh government of course intended.

"Listen, Mark, if we want to form a written agreement, it can only be used as a supplementary contract, as long as we want to obtain the right to build the oil and gas pipeline from Kenkiak to Atlau, we cannot make too much concessions on the project itself. This is the bottom line,..."

Sha Zhengyang leaned on one hand on the table and held a sign pen in the other hand and was drawing.

Having been in contact with JP Morgan's project manager for more than a day, Sha Zhengyang's impression of this manager has improved a lot.

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

"Hi, Sha, you have to understand that if we want to defeat Texaco and Amoko and let these two families go back to their hometowns, we must offer conditions to make Kazakhstan excited. You are very clear that your Changhe Energy cannot be compared with Texaco or Amoko in any aspect. We must make some concessions, and we must also have new things that impress Kazakhstan. Do you understand what I mean?"

Mark's gray-blue eyes always flashed with a certain passion, and it was obvious that he regarded this project as a turning point in his career in China.

The failure of cooperation with PetroChina made him extremely frustrated, but in a blink of an eye, a new opportunity came again, and this time he would never let the opportunity slip away.

"Mark, Texago is your hometown company, but Amoko is said to be in a relationship with the British and is about to sell himself to BP. Is there anything wrong with this?" Sha Zhengyang changed the topic.

"Sha, are we going to be more professional? There is nothing wrong with Texago going back to Texas. Are you questioning my professionalism?" Mark cursed: "It's not a bad thing for Amoco to sell to those hypocritical British people. They are in poor condition recently. Let the British worry about Amoco's bad things."

Seeing that the other party was a little unhappy, Sha Zhengyang laughed, "Okay, okay, let's get back to the topic, ok, the pipeline from Kenkiak to Atlau should be included in the terms, well, it can be packaged with the Akjiubin project. I believe that Kazakhstan will not refuse, this pipeline cannot be built in less than two years,..."

"Sha, are you confident that Kenkiak's production can be increased to a level that can meet the Orsk refinery and transport oil to Atlau?" Mark was surprised.

Although he was not from a petroleum industry, he was also very familiar with the situation of the Akjiubin project. There were also a large group of professionals under him to analyze the existing production and future production capacity of Kenkiyak, two major oil fields under Akjiubin Oil Company.

Even if Changhe Energy Group takes over and transforms the two major oil fields, its production capacity will be maintained in its original state and slightly improved, which is not likely to be much improved unless...

"Sha, do you think Kenkiyak's sub-salt oil field is very valuable for mining?" Mark was not a fool, so he naturally wanted to get it.

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