On July 1st, ZPEC Group held the Phase 8 “Spark Program” orientation training for new recruits at the Shanghai Lingang Production Base. Chairman Li Chundi delivered the first lecture to 196 trainees. Drawing on his 56 years of experience in the petroleum industry and the Group’s global strategic layout, he outlined the development blueprint, shared personal growth insights, and charted a direction for the new employees’ future career paths.

During the session, Chairman Li systematically explained the Group’s industrial development strategy and elaborated on the essence of the “Iron-Blooded Journey” corporate culture. He detailed employee benefits, including free meals and accommodation, housing support, and expatriate arrangements, using examples such as overcoming challenges in overseas projects and ensuring staff mobility during the COVID-19 pandemic. He also showcased the vast development platforms across six oil and gas blocks, covering Xinjiang, the Middle East, Central Asia, and North Africa. Chairman Li stated that the Group is fully committed to becoming an internationally renowned high-tech integrated energy company. With abundant oil and gas reserves both at home and abroad and immense room for growth, the Company urgently needs young talent with solid professional skills, a strong work ethic, and a global perspective.

Drawing from his own journey of growth and entrepreneurship, he put forward seven earnest expectations for all new employees: first, establish sound life values, reject mediocrity, and realize self-worth through practical efforts; second, uphold the principle of being an upright person, value integrity and stay away from speculation, so as to forge ahead steadily and far; third, cultivate the quality of endurance and hard work, fear no harsh conditions in the field or overseas, and persevere through adversity; fourth, commit to lifelong learning, develop the habit of review and reflection, and continuously enhance cognitive and professional capabilities; fifth, strictly abide by laws, discipline, and the red line of integrity in work, and safeguard the bottom line of professional conduct; sixth, remain open-minded and inclusive, be adept at teamwork, and humbly seek advice from leaders and senior colleagues; seventh, always stay alert to safety, take good care of their health, and be responsible for themselves, their family, and the Company.

Chairman Li encouraged all new recruits to cherish this intensive training opportunity and earnestly study the corporate culture, safety regulations, and industry chain expertise. He noted that the Group has established a well-developed career development path for young talent. Upon completion of the training, new employees will be assigned to front-line grassroots positions for practical experience. As long as they remain down-to-earth and are willing to take on responsibilities, every young person can grow and become a competent professional on the ZPEC platform, contributing their youthful wisdom and practical commitment to the long-term development of the enterprise.
