An hour later, Canglong read all the information and called Yan Yan over: "Notify all the heads of the branch that I have a meeting. I don't care where they are. I will give them half an hour to get here. If they can't get here, they will
Dismissed from office."
"Half an hour?" Yan Yan looked surprised, "I'm afraid I can't make it in half an hour. Some people are still in the oil field. It's more than ten kilometers away from here, so it's impossible to make it here."
"I need you to execute the order, not to question the order." Canglong said and looked at his watch, "The timer starts!"
Yan Jun's face was very ugly, and he ran away quickly. Vivian on the side asked strangely: "What do you want to do again?"
Canglong did not answer, but just took the information and handed it to her and said: "This is the situation in the Rumaila oil field. In fact, the largest oil field is not in our hands."
Vivian took the information and read it. After a few minutes, she also frowned: "The largest oil field in the Rumaila oil area is still in the hands of the Russian company LUK. If we enter now, we have to negotiate with the Russians, but
What is the deputy director going to talk to the British about?"
"This is the crux of the problem." Cang Long said with a stern face, "Longteng International relies on Russia to enter the Middle East market. Luke is its main partner. The new Iraqi government's bidding for oil and gas fields is itself a trap, and Luke's Saada
The contract signed by the Trump administration has not expired."
"Killing two birds with one stone?" Vivian asked strangely, "No, we can discuss cooperative development with Luke Company."
"No!" Canglong shook his head, "This is a historical issue. The Russians signed the contract with Saddam. The new government's bidding agreement is a piece of waste paper in their eyes. How could they let it go so easily? The important thing is
, now Longteng International is developing it with the British, completely leaving the Russians aside, what will the Russians think?"
"He will think that we have abandoned them and start cooperating with the Americans to snatch their interests in Iraq." Vivian analyzed.
"Yes." Canglong nodded, "British companies are willing to cooperate with Longteng International because they are afraid of being instigated by the Americans. The UK and the United States have always been together, so the Russians mistakenly thought that we were actually seeking help from the United States. But
In fact, we are begging for food in the cracks, and we have abandoned Russia, our most reliable partner."
Vivian frowned. If this is the case, Longteng International will not please both sides. The Americans are obviously preparing to let China and Russia compete for the Rumaila oil field, so that this originally strong cooperative relationship will be broken and become enemies. In the end
They are enjoying the benefits of being a fisherman.
"Didn't Mr. Lin have any countermeasures before?" Vivian suddenly asked, Lin Wanrou would not have discovered such a trap, but after Longteng International entered Iraq, it was so stupid that it walked into the trap set by the Americans.
Here, it looks really weird.
"My mother should have expected it, but it was already too late when she did, because she was already lying on the hospital bed at that time and had not had time to explain." Canglong shook his head, "And our Director Ye is still following the original plan.
, so that it has now reached a point of no return.”
With that said, Canglong handed another document to Vivian. This document recorded the incident records of conflicts in the Rumaila Oil Field. Many Chinese oil workers had conflicts with the Russians due to business issues.
Although peace talks ended in the end, such conflicts became more and more intense as Longteng International's drilling team entered the Rumaila oil field and established a base.
Another piece of information shows that the deputy director named Wang Daoming has failed to negotiate with Russia many times. Perhaps this is why he went to the local government and the British.
Vivian looked at the document and her face became serious: "This is a mess, there is no way to find a way to survive!"
Canglong frowned and touched his chin: "As I said before, if we play according to the rules of the Americans, we can only follow their routines. How can we win within the rules set by others? So, we have to make our own
Rules of the game!”
"You mean to delay the development of the Rumaila oil field to avoid further conflicts with Luke?" Vivian asked.
"That's half right, you'll know the other half later." Canglong said, picking up the walkie-talkie on the table, "Snow Leopard, are they all here?"
"Most of them have arrived," Snow Leopard said, "a few are still on the way."
Putting down the walkie-talkies, Canglong and Vivian went downstairs to the conference room. The first thing they saw was the deputy director. His face was full of anxiety and dissatisfaction. When Canglong came down, he forced a smile and said: "Mr. Cang,
Why didn't you tell me that you were here so that I could pick you up?"
He didn't expect Canglong to ignore him in front of all the employees. Although he felt a little embarrassed, the kingly deputy director endured it. He could not even give the ambassador face, and ignored the ambassadors of various countries and Iraqi dignitaries.
How can you give face to someone who has disappeared?
Cang Long looked at Yan Jun with a serious look on his face and asked, "How many people haven't arrived yet?"
Yan Yan looked bitter: "They are all important engineers in the oil field, and they are stuck in the city."
"Is this really the case?" Canglong suddenly looked at him with a smile, which made Yan Jun tremble. He glanced at Deputy Director Wang secretly, not knowing how to answer, because he just heard Deputy Director Wang calling with his own ears.
The person in charge of the oil field told them not to come over.
Before he could answer, Canglong looked at his watch and announced slowly: "Ask the logistics department to buy them plane tickets, inform them that they are fired, and have a meeting now!"
There was a burst of discussion in the conference room. They all looked at Deputy Director Wang. As expected, Deputy Director Wang spoke. He reminded with a serious face: "President Cang, we are short of manpower now. The people you want to fire are all in the oil field."
Engineers are all in key positions. If they are fired, I'm afraid..."
There was a hint of threat in Wang Daoming's tone, as if he was saying, if you fire them all, there will be no one to help us extract oil.
Canglong looked at him coldly: "You are one of the two deputy directors who came to pick me up with Ye Lun at the airport, right?"
"I'm honored that President Cang still remembers me." Wang Daoming said with a sarcastic tone.
"Yeah, how could I not remember you?" Canglong sneered, "I don't need you to question my orders, I just need you to execute my orders, understand? Execute!"
Speaking of this, Wang Daoming also understood what Cang Long meant, but he was not afraid of Cang Long, but sneered: "Since President Cang wants to have his own way, with all due respect, this is Iraq, not Beijing, and you will not be tolerated here.
Everything is going wrong here. Even if you are the president and want to fire people, you must get permission from Director Ye and our two deputy directors. You cannot make any arbitrary decisions!"
"Do you mean that Longteng International is a director system instead of a president system?" Canglong's tone was cold, with a hint of chill in his words.
"Of course not. We respect Mr. Lin, she is your mother, and we respect you too. If she wants to fire anyone, she can. We have no problem with it, but you are different. You don't understand the situation at all, and we don't have any
Help, you are not capable of taking charge of Longteng International!" Wang Daoming threatened.
"Let me tell you, since I have taken office as the president, I have full authority to represent my mother and the State Council. Longteng International has more than them, but less with them. The same goes for you." Canglong smiled, "Now that you are fired, I
I will buy plane tickets to send you and your people back to Beijing, and will also notify the embassy that your work visa has expired."
There was an uproar in the conference room. Wang Daoming looked at Canglong with a livid face. If he was worried about anything just now, now Wang Daoming has no scruples at all. He stood up and said: "When you beg me, I messed up the Iraq strategy."
, you must take full responsibility!”
After saying that, he left the meeting room angrily, but Canglong didn't care and said to Xuebao: "Send someone to send our former deputy director Wang out. Now he is no longer from Longteng International. For safety reasons, he does not need to tidy up."
Anything that belongs to him will be couriered to him by the company."
Wang Daoming paused at the door. You could clearly see that he was shaking with anger at Cang Long's words, but he didn't say anything.
The conference room returned to calm, and Canglong continued: "Whoever is still prepared to question my orders or thinks that they are indispensable can stand up immediately and follow Deputy Director Wang out of here. I will also reimburse you for your air tickets and get you there on time.
I will pay you the salary and let you leave here with peace of mind!"
Without speaking, they looked at each other. A few people stood up and left, but most of them stayed. So the branch that originally had only a dozen people suddenly had only ten civilian staff left. Of course, it was not serious.
Their security department and the people Soryu brought.
"Is no one ready to leave?" Canglong glanced at the people in the conference room.
Everyone was silent, but nodded. Canglong changed his previous indifference and smiled: "Now I announce that Miss Vivian will become the deputy director of Longteng International's Iraq branch. Do you have any objections?"
The people in the conference room were speechless. How dare they question Canglong's order? So they could only nod and rattle one by one.
"Jian Yan, you stay, the others will disperse!" Cang Long said calmly.
When everyone came to their senses, they realized that Canglong's meeting was not a routine meeting at all. It was mainly aimed at Deputy Director Wang. For a while, they all felt that the decision to stay was very wise. After all, it could be done in the country.
They can't find a job with such a good salary. Although this is Iraq, their jobs are civilian jobs and they don't need to go to the oil fields where there are the most conflicts.
After everyone left, only Vivian and Yan Yan were left in the conference room. Canglong stood up and walked to the door, saying as he walked: "Take me to the oil field!"
Yan Yan could only nod his head submissively. Seeing him like this, Canglong asked: "Do you have any objections to my decision just now? Tell me, I won't fire you."
This sentence was like giving Yan a pardon, but he still thought for a long time before saying: "Deputy Director Wang is the main customer liaison officer of Longteng International in southern Iraq. He specializes in dealing with the British. He fired the British
There will definitely be dissatisfaction there, and if you fired the person in charge of the oil field and the chief engineer, how can we still exploit oil?"
But Canglong asked: "Then you think we can produce oil if I don't fire them?"
Yan Yan obviously had not considered this issue, but he soon discovered that they were in trouble now, so whether these people were there or not was irrelevant. He had been in Iraq for no less than two years, and he had no idea about the changes in the situation here.
There is also some understanding. In fact, everyone knows that as long as the Americans don't let go, China will never be able to produce even a barrel of oil here.
"So, keeping them is just a waste of resources, it's better to fire them." Canglong said with a smile.
"But they know Iraq better than you, this is definitely..." Yan reminded.
But before he finished speaking, Canglong smiled. He looked at Vivian and the members of Team B. Who here doesn't know more about Iraq than Wang Daoming? I'm afraid Wang Daoming knows more about the officialdom of Iraq, but Canglong doesn't.
Enjoy dealing with these people because there is no need to...
