Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Can you let me finish? I said that I won't give you three months' salary, but I didn't say that I won't give you half a year's salary. "
Locke and Benedict were stunned and said, "Mr. Xiao, what do you mean?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "I'm already the president of our company, so I have to give everyone some benefits, right? You're about to sleep on the streets. Three months' salary probably isn't enough, so I'll double it for you. "
"Wow, double it, that's great. Great. "
"Kungfu Xiao isn't joking with us, is he? Is there such a good thing? Why do I feel like I'm dreaming? "
Xiao Yunhai turned and asked, "Who's the head of the finance department?"
A middle-aged woman wearing glasses and business attire stood up and said, "Mr. Xiao, I'm Dorajona, who's in charge of the finance department."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Ms. Dorajona, how much do we owe the employees?"
Dorajona didn't even think about it and answered, "Three months' salary is a total of 85.63 million US dollars, and our finance department doesn't have a single cent now."
Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "I remember that our company has more than 13,000 employees. That means that their average monthly salary is only about 2,000 US dollars, right?"
Dorajona nodded and said, "Yes. It was originally about 3,000 US dollars, but the company is really not doing well, so we reduced it to 2,500 US dollars. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's too little. How about this, I'll transfer 500 million US dollars to the finance department in the afternoon and double their salary for the next three months. Do you understand? "
Dorajona said happily, "Understood."
"Yeah, that's great. Long live the boss."
"Long live the boss."
"Long live the boss." ‘
.....
The employees who came to protest were all in high spirits and crazily shouted at Xiao Yunhai, "Long live the boss."
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet. This morning, I have decided to inject 100 billion USD into our company for the upgrade of our technology and equipment, as well as for our future development. You are the company's most precious asset. I hope that everyone can return to their respective positions and do their jobs well. From today onwards, your salary will be doubled and will be paid on time every month. When we make some achievements and find a new oil field, your salary will increase. I want to ask everyone, do you believe me? "
"I do."
"I do."
Everyone was shouting crazily at the top of their lungs, just like Xiao Yunhai's concert.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Thank you for your trust. I hereby announce that the name of the new PEC Oil Company will be changed to Yunqing Oil Company. Our future will be bright and we only have one goal, to be the world's number one oil company. I guarantee that as long as you work hard, everyone's annual salary will be no less than 100,000 USD. If I can't do it, I'll jump down from the 72nd floor. "
"Okay, long live the boss."
"Long live the boss."
When everyone heard Xiao Yunhai's words, they were so excited that their faces turned red, and their blood boiled.
The crisis was averted just like that.
After lunch, Xiao Yunhai gathered all the department heads in the company for a meeting.
After introductions, Xiao Yunhai asked, "Is there any problem in your work? Tell me. We'll solve it as soon as possible. "
The refinery manager, Gavin Dulles, said, "Boss, our six major refineries are seriously outdated and inefficient. The annual refining capacity is only 80 million tons. There's also a bigger problem. Our two refineries in Southern America are running out of oil and have been shut down for almost half a year. "
Xiao Yunhai frowned. "Didn't they say that our refineries are doing well? They used to be the top ten in the world. How did that happen? "
Gavin Dulles said, "Boss, they're talking about the scale, not the refining capacity. Once the equipment is upgraded, we'll definitely be in the top ten, no, top five. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "How much will it cost to upgrade all six major refineries to the latest equipment? Haven't we explored or bought an oil field in all these years? "
Gavin Dulles said, "We'll need at least 23 billion USD to upgrade all of them. If we want to change to the safest and most efficient equipment, we'll need 42 billion USD. As for the oil fields, let Luke explain. "
The head of the exploration department, Luke Ulysses, cleared his throat and said, "It's impossible to buy them because we don't have the money. We can't compete with our competitors. As for the oil exploration department, they've been looking for oil. Unfortunately, they've searched many places but haven't found anything. They've wasted a lot of money. These are the relevant materials from the exploration areas in recent years. I've brought them all to you. Also, the equipment we're using is very old and needs to be replaced as soon as possible. A complete set costs between 8 billion to 16 billion USD. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled. "It's all money. It seems that oil is profitable, but the investment is not small either. Dulles, if we change to the best refining equipment, how much annual refining capacity can we achieve? "
Gavin Dulles thought for a moment and said, "One refinery can reach 40 million tons."
Xiao Yunhai was stunned. "Good heavens. It's almost the same as the current four refineries."
Gavin Dulles said, "I'm talking about the most conservative number. If you're really willing to change, we can sell three and keep the other three. "
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "Come to my office alone to discuss this matter in detail. Ulysses, if the oil company wants to become the strongest, the most important thing is to find new oil fields. Otherwise, we can only wait for death. Therefore, I'll transfer the money to the finance department. Contact them as soon as possible and settle the equipment issue first. Tell the employees that I'll reward each of them at least 500,000 USD for discovering an oil field. "
Luke Ulysses nodded and said, "Alright."
The other departments also talked about their own situations and the meeting ended just like that.
Xiao Yunhai returned to his office with the information Luke Ulysses gave him. He sat on his chair and read it carefully.
America was the same as Hua Xia. Oil belonged to the state. Oil companies were prohibited from exporting oil discovered in America without permission from the government.
The oil they discovered was also exploited by the government. For example, if you explored an area in Los Angeles for oil, regardless of whether you found it or not, you had to pay a large exploration fee to Los Angeles. If oil was discovered, the city of Los Angeles would get 30% of the shares. If the area of oil exceeded your area, you would have to pay an additional fee.
The oil company was very unhappy about this, but they had no choice. If they wanted oil, they had to agree. If they didn't agree, they had to leave. Countless companies would be interested in it.
Pekar Oil had spent tens of billions of dollars in exploration fees in the past three years, but they didn't find anything. They wasted a huge amount of manpower, material, and financial resources.
Xiao Yunhai had a map of the oil fields in America in his previous life in his head. He looked at it from top to bottom, but he didn't find anything.
Just as he was feeling disappointed, Xiao Yunhai's eyes suddenly lit up. He discovered that the most recent exploration location was in the Midland Basin of the Permian Basin in Texas, and it hadn't ended yet.
This was Pekar's last chance. They had paid 5.3 billion USD to the Texas government. It was a matter of success or death. However, half a year had passed, and the news they received said that there was little hope. This also contributed to Pekar's downfall.
However, Xiao Yunhai remembered clearly that in his previous life, there was a huge oil field in America with more than 20 billion barrels of oil. But now, there was nothing.
