Chapter 38 Longteng’s new president

... Zhu Mingyan's heart that had just been relieved suddenly rose up and asked, "Old Fan, you are an old man in the oil industry. Is there no way you?" Fan Xiongqi stood up from the sofa tremblingly and said, "If there was a way, the oil of the branch would have appeared in the international crude oil market long ago. Grandma, it would be harder to let these bastards go to the sky! I was really puzzled. Long Teng clearly faced similar problems with us. Why would they swallow our branch in one bite? You know, the people in the head office finally agreed to sell the branch to Long Teng at a discount because it was difficult for the branch oil to enter the international market. It's really damn hard to understand..."

Seeing Fan Xiongqi stumbled and left, Zhu Mingyan hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "Old Fan, what other plans do you have in the future? I mean, since you don't want to go to the headquarters and the branch here is gone, what do you want to do in the future? Change career?" Fan Xiongqi smiled bitterly and said slowly, "I, Fan Xiongqi, have worked in oil all my life. Now, I don't know anything except oil, and I don't want to do anything. Forget it, just treat it as retirement early and go home to enjoy a happy life!" "Can you really be so free and easy? You must know that once a person devotes his whole life to a certain cause, it is not so easy to give up. That feeling is very painful, can you bear it?" Zhu Mingyan said with a frown.

Zhu Mingyan's words probably hit Fan Xiongqi's pain point, making him suddenly excited, and shouted loudly, "I can't stand it? I have to bear it even if I can't stand it! This is probably my retribution for Fan Xiongqi. Who can I blame?" Zhu Mingyan smiled and asked, "Then tell me the truth. If you have the opportunity to let you return to the oil industry, are you willing?" "Are you talking about China Petroleum? Forget it! My heart is old and I don't have the energy to get into the strife again." Fan Xiongqi said with some excitement. Zhu Mingyan said, "There is not the only oil company in this world. Haven't you ever thought about Longteng?" "Longteng?" Fan Xiongqi shivered as if he was electrocuted, and looked at Zhu Mingyan with suspicion.

Zhu Mingyan smiled and said, "To be honest, I know the senior management of Longteng Group, and our relationship is quite good. If you want, I can tell him that there must be your position in Longteng." "What do you mean is to let me attack Guo Fei?" Fan Xiongqi stared at the drunken eyes and said to Zhu Mingyan angrily. Guo Fei is the current vice president of Longteng Energy Group, and the president is naturally Zhang Qiang. He is about the early forties, which is the best time in a man's life. He is young and strong, and knowledgeable. He once studied in international prestigious universities such as Harvard and Oxford. He was a very capable person. At that time, he was the result of the chairman asking for help. Although Guo Fei is very capable, he is a rising star in Fan Xiongqi's eyes and has low qualifications, so he is naturally a little disdainful.

Zhu Mingyan laughed helplessly after hearing this, and asked Fan Xiongqi to be an assistant to Guo Fei. It was indeed a little aggrieved. Just when Zhu Mingyan had no choice, a loud voice suddenly sounded, "What if you want to be the president?" Zhu Mingyan and Fan Xiongqi looked back with a look of surprise on their faces, and saw Zhang Qiang standing at the door with a smile. Although Fan Xiongqi said that he had seen Zhang Qiang, Zhu Mingyan did not point out his identity at that time. Fan Xiongqi did not know that the young man standing in front of him was Long Teng's ultimate boss. He just thought that he was young Meng Lang and his words were unknown. He just looked at him frivolously for a few seconds, then took his eyes back and looked elsewhere bored.

When Zhu Mingyan saw Zhang Qiang, his mood was very different from Fan Xiongqi. It seemed that he had seen his long-lost relatives and friends. Zhu Mingyan hurriedly strode towards him, and said with a laugh, "Boy, you haven't come to me for a long time. Have you forgotten me?" The evidence in Iraq is stable now, and the people live and work in peace and contentment are no longer as chaotic as before. Naturally, there is no place for Zhang Qiang to come forward. Zhang Qiang held the hand handed by Zhu Mingyan, exchanged a few words, and then whispered to Fan Xiongqi. Zhu Mingyan was shocked and asked in a low voice, "Are you here for him this time?" Zhang Qiang nodded with a smile. Seeing Zhang Qiang nodding, Zhu Mingyan was happy and gave Zhang Qiang a thumbs up, meaning that you have a good vision!

Zhu Mingyan coughed heavily and said to Fan Xiongqi, "Old Fan, come on, I'll introduce you to a very important friend, you are interested in insurance!" Fan Xiongqi snorted on his nose and said lazily, "Forget it, I'm not interested in anyone now. I think I'd better find a place to have a few more drinks." Seeing that Fan Xiongqi became less and less irrelevant, Zhu Mingyan felt anxious and pulled him to Zhang Qiang, pointed at Zhang Qiang, and said loudly to him, "Old boy, listen to me, this is Mr. Zhang Qiang, the president of Longteng Energy Group!"

"What...what!?" Fan Xiongqi was stunned for a moment, then his mouth opened, stuttered, and asked in shock. Zhu Mingyan couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Why did your ears suddenly fail at the critical moment? Tell me clearly that he is Zhang Qiang, the big boss of Longteng Energy Group!" "So...so you are Zhang Qiang!" Seeing Zhang Qiang, Fan Xiongqi's drunkenness seemed to have decreased a lot, and his eyes gradually became brighter. Zhang Qiang held Fan Xiongqi's hand and pointed at his hand, and said with a smile, "Senior Fan, I didn't expect to meet you here. We are really destined to..."

Fan Xiongqi pulled back the hand that was held by Zhang Qiang hard and said in a deep voice, "Hmph, don't follow me to do this. Are you here to see the ugly behavior of me, a loser? Look, I'm always thick-skinned, and I'm not afraid of you." Fan Xiongqi still resented Zhang Qiang's acquisition of Long Teng. Zhang Qiang didn't care about Fan Xiongqi's attitude. If it were changed, he wouldn't be better when he saw the person who snatched the company he had worked hard to do. Fan Xiongqi didn't take action, even if he had the cultivation.

. "Senior, the reason why I founded Longteng was to increase our country's influence in the international crude oil market. Oil is the most important strategic resource at present. Whoever dominates the oil will dominate the world. As a big country, China must have sufficient say in the issue of oil. I don't want to see that my goal has not been achieved, but both of us fight to the death first. I don't exclude competition, but I don't want to compete with our people!"

Fan Xiongqi didn't expect that Zhang Qiang was actually holding this idea, and was a little surprised for a moment. Foreigners say that Chinese people are very infighting, and Fan Xiongqi has always sneered at this point of view and disdained it. But before he knew it, he was playing the role of infighting. From the moment the branch was established, the first competitor in Fan Xiongqi's mind was either someone else or Long Teng. Thinking of this, Fan Xiongqi felt a little ashamed and smiled a little apologetically at Zhang Qiang and said, "So that's the case. It seems that I blamed you wrongly." Zhang Qiang smiled slightly and said, "Senior, don't say it anymore, I can understand..." Fan Xiongqi waved his hand and said, "Don't call me senior, senior, I feel awkward. Just call me Lao Fan!"

Zhang Qiang smiled and said, "You and Uncle Zhu are friends, so I'd better call you Uncle Fan." After a pause, Zhang Qiang said, "Uncle Fan, I came to Iraq this time to find you. I now formally hired you as the president of Longteng Energy Group and decided on everything Longteng in Iraq." "What?" Fan Xiongqi thought he had heard it wrong and looked at Zhang Qiang in surprise. Zhu Mingyan laughed aside and said, "Old Fan, your ears are really wrong, right? Zhang Qiang hired you as the president of Longteng Energy Group. Have you heard it clearly this time?"

"Why?" Fan Xiongqi looked at Zhang Qiang in confusion and asked, "Why did you hire me?" Zhang Qianglang smiled and said, "Of course it is because of your talent. Whether Longteng can really take off depends on you." "But... we were obviously competitors before..." Zhang Qiang interrupted Fan Xiongqi and said loudly, "I said, I have never regarded you as a competitor. And now there is no China Petroleum Branch, where does it come from? Uncle Fan, I sincerely ask you to join Longteng and help Longteng achieve true takeoff!"

Zhang Qiang's eyes were pure and sincere, which moved Fan Xiongqi's heart. Seeing Fan Xiongqi still dazed, Zhu Mingyan slapped him without any anger and laughed and scolded, "You are stupid! Why don't you nod your head quickly?" Fan Xiongqi nodded in a hurry and said, "Okay, I'm the president. Qiangzi, I won't say anything else. I will only say one thing, you Uncle Fan, I will never let you down." "Hahaha..." Seeing Fan Xiongqi nodding in agreement, Zhu Mingyan seemed happier than the two of them, and Zhensheng said, "This is really great. I treat you at noon today, let's celebrate!" "No, how can I let Uncle Zhu treat you? Or I'll treat you, I should also invite you!" Zhang Qiang said with a smile.

"Yes! You are the big boss, but you have much more money than us, so you hired it! Haha..." Zhu Mingyan said with a smile. At noon, the group of three found a Chinese restaurant and sat down. As China's status in the hearts of the Iraqi people continued to rise, Chinese language, Chinese culture, Chinese handicrafts, etc., in short, all things related to China have become popular. Even Chinese food began to become popular on the land of Iraq. It seemed that in just one night, many Chinese restaurants with their own characteristics emerged on both sides of the street.

All three of them were huge, so they were very happy and enjoyable. After 30 years of wine, Fan Xiongqi suddenly looked at Zhang Qiang with a serious expression and said, "Qianzi, since you hired me as the president, I have something to say." Zhang Qiang said sincerely, "If you have anything to say, just say it, I'll listen." Fan Xiongqi nodded and said in a distant voice, "I have to admit that Guo Fei is indeed a talent. A group of such a large number of Longteng has been established for a few days, but it has been on track, and the first batch of crude oil is about to come out of the well. But there is a problem. Now that the products are out, sales have become a big problem. I think during this period, Guo Fei must have been worried about how to open up sales."

Zhang Qiang nodded. On the way to Zhu Mingyan, Zhang Qiang called Guo Fei in advance and told him that Fan Xiongqi might be the president of Longteng. Guo Fei is a relatively open-minded person and self-aware person. He knows that Fan Xiongqi is better than him in terms of experience and ability, so he has no objection or dissatisfaction. On the phone, the two did not discuss how long it took for this matter, but the two talked a lot about the issue of oil sales. Guo Fei did make some bitterness to Zhang Qiang and explained the difficulties to him.

The company's operation and production have been solved by Guo Fei, so the first problem Fan Xiongqi faced after taking office will be the difficulty of Longteng Group's oil market entry. So, before he officially took office, Fan Xiongqi was already worried. Looking at Zhang Qiang, Fan Xiongqi said drunkenly, "Qianzi, to be honest, I don't think it is a wise move for you to strongly acquire China Petroleum Branch. Even if you have reasons that the Chinese people should not compete with the Chinese people, it should be something you can only consider after you successfully open up sales. Now the pressure of both Longteng and the branch is on your shoulders alone, and have you never thought about the hardships?"

Zhang Qiang frowned and drank the wine in the glass in one sip. A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said quietly, "If I told you that sales are already a little bit high, would you believe it?" Zhu Mingyan and Fan Xiongqi looked at each other, and Fan Xiongqi said, "It's so easy for OPEC to let go? I don't believe it!" Zhang Qiang did not explain, but just chuckled a few times and said, "It's okay, if you don't believe it, let's wait and see. Uncle Fan, after you take office, you don't need to worry about sales. Just do a good job of internal management of the group and promote such things."

Seeing that Zhang Qiang was confident and didn't seem to be talking nonsense, Fan Xiongqi wanted to know what Zhang Qiang was thinking, but obviously Zhang Qiang was not going to tell him, and he could only suppress the crazy curiosity in his heart. Zhu Mingyan had some understanding of Zhang Qiang, so he was full of confidence in him. Since he said that Fan Xiongqi would not have to worry about it, it means that he had a solution. So he didn't ask much, just urging the two of them to drink. Looking at Fan Xiongqi who was pushing cups with Zhu Mingyan, Zhang Qiang felt so happy. He could finally take off the heavy burden of Longteng Group...
