Chapter 1,166 Pacific Petroleum Industries Company
…
After hanging up the phone, Liu Dong played with his phone.
His eyes were staring out the window with a look of thought on his face. Although the matter of the God of War Mercenary Group was just a small matter, Liu Dong also discovered a weakness of his.
He lacks an intelligence organization that can provide him with accurate information.
This kind of intelligence is not only internal intelligence, but also business intelligence and technological intelligence! Why can big families like Rockefeller and Morgan remain standing for a long time and become rich for six generations?
In addition to their own huge strength and the wisdom of family members, priority access to information is definitely a very important factor.
Only by obtaining first-hand information in a timely and rapid manner can we be one step ahead before doing anything.
"But setting up an intelligence department from scratch is also a troublesome matter!" Liu Dong scratched his head.
He has almost no suitable candidates to do this job. And this incident exactly reflects the gap in talent reserves between him and those huge families with long histories, as well as the inferiority of the family background.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. His strength is accumulated year by year, and it only takes him a long time to rise.
"We can only do it step by step!"
Thinking of this, Liu Dong picked up the phone again.
Before the economic storm he set off roiled the world, Liu Dong still had too many things to deal with and too many personnel to arrange.
If things go well, one year later, he will truly realize the grand goal of his "Liu Family Group".
…
When the last month of 2002 came to an end, Guo Kai, who served as CEO of Pacific Petroleum Industries, walked out of Quancheng International Airport tired and confused.
He was called back from distant Pakistan by a call from the company's headquarters. When he received the call, he was supervising the renovation of the refining equipment and the expansion of the new plant of the 'Paco Hyderabad Petroleum Company' in which the company controlled 45% of the shares.
This is also the only business of Pacific Petroleum Industries, which was established less than a year ago. Therefore, Guo Kai, who is determined to lay a good foundation for the company's future, is particularly concerned about it.
However, when the Paco Petroleum Company project was halfway through construction, he received a call from the head office and was handed over to Quancheng.
Seeing the sign with his name written on it at the airport pick-up gate, Guo Kai walked over with his secretary.
"Are you Mr. Guo from Pacific Company?" the airport pick-up staff asked after looking Guo Kai up and down.
"Yes. I am Guo Kai!"
"Hello, Mr. Guo! I'm Liu Zixuan from the reception desk of Dongchao Group, and I'm here to pick you up!" the young man said enthusiastically.
After listening, Guo Kai also understood.
Although he joined Pacific Petroleum Industries for a short time, it has been more than half a year. He also has a certain understanding of the company's origins, especially the extremely young chairman who is said to have never seen his beginning or end.
Among all the brother companies, Dongchao Group, the chairman of the group, was first established and its headquarters has always been located in Quancheng. Although it is not the largest among all Liu companies in terms of asset size, it is undoubtedly the most important and most important among them.
The special one.
Every annual meeting of the headquarters is handled by the Dongchao Group, and the president of the group is also known as the chairman's confidante and the future hostess of the Liu Group. Therefore, among the many branches of Liu Dong's companies, the Dongchao Group has gradually formed
An unwritten rule has been adopted, which tacitly assumes that Dongchao Group is the headquarters of all groups.
Although it cannot control the personnel and finance of other group companies, in many cases, orders from the top chairman, who rarely appears in front of company employees, are conveyed from here.
This time Guo Kai also received a fax from the Dongchao Group Secretariat. He hurried back.
"Let's go!"
After simply confirming that the other party was the one to receive him and saying hello to him, Guo Kai immediately said.
"Mr. Guo, please come this way!"
Liu Zixuan led Guo Kai into the vehicle prepared by the company and quickly drove out of the airport.
Seeing the increasingly sparse crowds around him, as if he had already driven out of Quancheng, Guo Kai couldn't help but wonder on his face, "Secretary Liu, where are we going? This doesn't seem to be the way to the company, right?"
"Haha, this is indeed not the way to the company. However, Mr. Guo, don't worry, the place I am taking you to is more important than the company headquarters!"
"More important than corporate headquarters?"
Looking at the inexplicable smile on Liu Zixuan's face next to him, Guo Kai vaguely understood. At the same time, he also became a little expectant in his heart.
A more important place than the company's headquarters. There is only one legendary place among all branches.
After watching the Mercedes-Benz carrying him get off the highway and drive onto a wide and flat winding mountain road, with more and more exquisite single-family villas appearing on both sides, Guo Kai's speculations became more and more intense.
Becoming more and more certain.
"Mr. Guo is here, right here!"
When Liu Zixuan spoke, Guo Kai's eyes had already seen the magnificent building beside him. At the same time, he also confirmed his previous guess. His destination was indeed the Liu Manor, the legendary real heart of the group!
"really big!"
This is the first time he has seen a villa of this size in China. Just looking at the width of the outer wall is more than 200 meters! The vermilion antique-style gatehouse reminds Guo Kai of the Prince Gong's Mansion in Beijing that he once visited.
If you add in the eight big and round bodyguards on both sides of the open door who are responsible for security, Guo Kai really felt like he had traveled to the palace of a Qing Dynasty prince for a moment.
"Mr. Guo, the chairman has been waiting for you inside for a long time. Let's go in quickly!"
"okay!"
After recovering from the slightly stunned state, Guo Kai quickly took his secretary, and under the guidance of Liu Zixuan, walked up the stairs and walked into the magnificent door of the mansion in front of him.
When they saw them entering, the bodyguard responsible for security at the door did not stop them. It was obvious that they had been informed a long time ago.
After entering the door and passing through the doorway, Guo Kai stepped on 80*80 bluestone square tiles. These square tiles were cut extremely flat, but some patterns were added to the surface to prevent slipping and make them beautiful.
However, Guo Kai just took a look at the bluestone tiles under his feet and passed by. What caught his eye more was the huge screen wall that came to him after stepping into the gate tower. It was more than 5 meters high and no less than ten meters long.
The porcelain landscape paintings are even more majestic and extremely delicate!
To be honest, after living for more than thirty years, this is the first time that Guo Kai has seen such a huge screen wall in a private estate. More importantly, the structure of the house here is not like an ordinary courtyard house. You can enter the courtyard after bypassing the screen wall.
Instead, a high wall connects the screen wall, which separates the courtyard at the back and the gatehouse in the front. Moreover, the screen wall and the gatehouse are also connected through the courtyard wall, and the entire space after entering the door forms a relatively closed 'kou' shape!
However, just the entrance-shaped space is no less than 150 square meters! And the edges and corners are piled with evergreen vegetation as decoration. In addition, the walls are not monotonous, with various folk-style brick paintings and window openings.
This space looks less closed and boring.
"Mr. Guo, please come this way!"
After nodding, Guo Kai followed Liu Zixuan and walked into the arch on the left side of the entrance space.
After walking through the arch, there is a long and narrow space. At the end of the space is a small garden with mostly withered vegetation, and connected to the small garden on the left is a row of buildings. Because the time spent here was too short, Guo Kai didn't know this.
What is it for? But I think it must be for the security guards at the concierge!
After walking to the center of this long and narrow space, there is a hanging flower door on the right. After going up a few steps and stepping into the hanging flower door, Guo Kai's eyes suddenly opened up.
The tall three-story antique buildings on the left and right sides amazed him, and the small square in the center with an area of no less than 500 square meters made him even more surprised by the wealth of the owner.
However, Guo Kai's attention did not stay too long in this huge and luxurious front yard. Because his eyes were already caught by the man standing in front of the central main building, wearing a dark cyan jacket and black casual pants, his face
With a faint confident smile and a tall and tall figure, the young man was completely attracted to him.
"Chairman!"
Although this was the first time for Guo Kai to see Liu Dong, Guo Kai had seen his photos many times before coming here.
"Mr. Guo has worked hard all the way, let's go in and talk!"
Looking at the respectful middle-aged man, Liu Dong smiled.
Liu Zixuan's mission was over here. After Liu Dong took Guo Kai into the living room, he took Guo Kai's secretary to another reception area.
"Mr. Guo has worked hard all the way. I should have let you rest first, but the matter is urgent, so I have to let Mr. Guo work hard first!" Liu Dong said.
"Chairman, please tell me if you have anything to say! I'm used to such long-distance flights, I can't say I'm tired!" Guo Kai said quickly.
After nodding, Liu Dong was not too polite, "Before getting down to business, I would also like to ask Mr. Guo, how is our company's joint venture project in Pakistan going?"
"This is exactly what I want to say to the chairman this time!... After nearly half a year of construction, the integration of Paco Petroleum Company and Hyderabad Petroleum Company has been completed! The new oil company has an annual processing capacity of 3 million tons
capacity of crude oil, and occupies 35% of Pakistan's market in oil and natural gas supply... The total assets of the new company are approximately US$800 million, and we hold 45% of the shares!"
"Well! When do you think the company's investment will be profitable?" Liu Dong then asked.
"Although Pakistan's economic development speed is not as fast as that of China, it is still a large market with rapid growth and a population of hundreds of millions. If nothing unexpected happens, I think we will be able to earn back the cost within three years and achieve profitability in three years!
"Guo Kai said seriously.
"Three years, three years is not too slow!" Liu Dong nodded. (To be continued.)
