reborn as an official

The first thousand 340 eight chapters shake the foundation

Jiao Chengxiang picked up the phone and said, "Hi, Hong Ping, what's the matter?"

"Chairman, something big happened!" Yuan Hongping said eagerly on the phone.

"Don't worry, take your time, is there another change in Helian's side?" Jiao Chengxiang said.

"No! There is no new news from Helian. There is a problem with our crude oil purchase channel!"

Jiao Chengxiang couldn't help but sat up straight.Although the Helian accident is serious, it is only a matter of compensation and aftermath compared to the behemoth of PetroChina, but the crude oil purchase channel is the foundation of PetroChina's survival. Once there is a problem with the purchase channel, the operation of the entire PetroChina will face a huge crisis .Moreover, China Petroleum is a state-owned enterprise, and it also shoulders the important responsibility of maintaining the national gasoline and diesel supply. If there is an oil shortage and triggers panic buying by the people across the country, it will be Jiao Chengxiang's serious dereliction of duty. This is a hundred times more serious than the Helian Xingang accident.

"What's going on? Is there a problem with that channel?" Although Jiao Chengxiang was urgent, he thought that PetroChina had already established a stable purchase channel through overseas expansion in recent years, in Africa, South America, Central Asia, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region. Crude oil suppliers, as well as state support, have diversified their imported oil. Even if there is a problem with that channel, it should not seriously affect the fundamentals of PetroChina.

"There are problems in all channels! The suppliers we cooperate with in Africa, South America, Central Asia, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region refuse to ship for various reasons, and several oil tankers that have arrived at the port and are preparing to unload are also diverted to other terminals. , several oil pipelines were also shut down due to failures, and some cooperative companies even unilaterally tore up contracts. At present, only some companies controlled by us have not stopped supplying goods, but the shipments of these companies are limited, and we can't find oil to transport at all. ship……"

"They dare! What reason do they have to do this? Are they not afraid that we will demand huge compensation?"

"These companies think that CNPC is a company with no credibility and no sense of responsibility, and there is a huge risk in cooperating with us. As for compensation, once a lawsuit is filed, it will take at least a few years. They can afford it, but we can't afford it! "

"What's going on here! What's the real reason?" Jiao Chengxiang grabbed a handful of hair.Of course he knew that the so-called reasons of these companies were simply a joke. PetroChina has cooperated with major companies for so many years, when did it stop talking about its credibility?

"I heard it was because of the Helianxingang fire accident! These companies accused us of not actively solving problems in their own land. Once there is a problem in cooperation, we will definitely escape responsibility..."

"Nonsense!" Jiao Chengxiang said angrily, "This is just a rumor!"

"But now everyone is saying what they say, no one listens to our explanation at all!" Yuan Hongping said.

"Immediately start the emergency plan, guide public opinion, and control the oil output! Then contact the Fez company, no, I'll contact you personally, and see if they can urgently dispatch some oil tankers for emergency!" Jiao Chengxiang knew that it was too late to quell the rumors. Although China Petroleum's existing oil reserves are sufficient for more than a month, if there is no oil input for three days, it will definitely cause panic among the masses and trigger a panic buying frenzy. No matter how much oil reserves there are, it will not be enough.More importantly, once PetroChina loses its reputation and customers switch to other oil companies, it will be difficult to recover!

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away!" Yuan Hongping knew that time was running out, so he didn't talk nonsense.

Jiao Chengxiang looked through the phone book that he carried with him, found a number, and hurriedly dialed it.But what I didn't expect to hear was a reminder that the phone was turned off.Jiao Chengxiang immediately broke out in a cold sweat, but Jiao Chengxiang didn't give up and called the office phone again.The phone rang for a long time before someone finally picked it up. Jiao Chengxiang didn't have time to listen to the other party's sweet voice, and asked anxiously, "Is Chairman Xia here? I'm Jiao Chengxiang from China Petroleum!"

"Chairman Jiao, I'm sorry, Chairman Xia is not in the office. She went to Europe for inspection yesterday. Do you have anything to tell me?" the secretary said softly.

"Going out?" Jiao Chengxiang was taken aback, and asked anxiously, "Did she change her mobile phone number, or is it 139...?"

"Yes, why don't you contact Mr. Xia in person?" the secretary asked softly.

"The phone is turned off, is there any emergency number?" Jiao Chengxiang asked anxiously.

"I'm sorry, no!" Hearing that Jiao Chengxiang had put down the phone, the secretary smiled and said to Chairman Xia Fei who was sitting behind the desk: "Mr. Xia, Mr. Jiao is really in a hurry!"

Xia Fei smiled and said: "Isn't he the most calm? He can even sit still when such a big accident happened, this time he should be in a hurry!"

After putting down the phone, Jiao Chengxiang held onto the phone tightly with one hand, stood in the living room, paced back and forth, and said to himself, "Where is the problem? Could it be that someone is manipulating it behind the scenes?"

Before Jiao Chengxiang could figure it out, the phone in his hand rang again. Jiao Chengxiang looked at the caller ID, and it turned out to be Vice Premier Lu.Jiao Chengxiang forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, and calmed down his anxiety before answering the phone: "Hello, Prime Minister Lu..."

"Cheng Xiang, I heard that there is a problem with your CNPC purchase channel?" Vice Premier Lu asked.

"Yes! There is a small problem with the purchase channel, and we are working hard to solve it. Please rest assured, Premier Lu, we will be able to handle it properly!" Jiao Chengxiang heard that Vice Premier Lu was in a questioning tone, but since he can make this call, he will Explain that he has understood the real situation and just wants to hear if he can solve the problem.

"I'm afraid the problem is not small! I heard that your purchasers in Africa, South America, Central Asia, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region have stopped supplying crude oil, and the oil pipeline has also stopped delivering crude oil. How many days will it take you to solve such a big problem? Once the news If it spreads, it will cause panic among the masses, and you, the chairman, will probably end up being the chairman!"

After hearing Vice Premier Lu's words, cold sweat broke out on Jiao Chengxiang's forehead.When Vice Premier Lu mentioned this, it was tantamount to giving himself an ultimatum. If the matter could not be resolved properly, he would just resign, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing to be dismissed!

"Vice Premier Lu, I have asked Comrade Hong Ping to negotiate with various suppliers and contact the Central Propaganda Department to control public opinion. I am also contacting the Fez Company to see if we can urgently dispatch some oil tankers to relieve the urgent need!"

"Chengxiang, it seems that you still haven't grasped the crux of the problem! Do you think such a big thing happened just a coincidence?"

"You mean..." Although Jiao Chengxiang had already guessed that someone was targeting him, the most suspected one was Helian Mayor Xu Li!But Jiao Chengxiang couldn't believe that Xu Lizhen had such a great ability to affect the export of crude oil in various regions of the world.
