Chapter 647 Large-scale ethylene project put into operation
Qin Hai has already set the principles for the matter in the School of Materials Science, so he doesn't need to worry about it. Fu Wenbin, Wang Xiaochen and others are very dedicated people. After understanding Qin Hai's intention, they will implement it to the letter.
The discovery of graphene is a major achievement, and the dividends it generates are enough to benefit Daqin Group and all domestic and foreign scholars and manufacturers who come to seek cooperation, so there is no need to worry about everyone's enthusiasm. Of course, for those with ulterior motives,
For people such as Yoshida Gen, Qin Hai had already dug a hole for them, just waiting for them to jump down voluntarily.
While in Hongze, Qin Hai also took the time to inspect the Anhe Motor Factory, which was busy producing new permanent magnet motors, and listened to the relevant report from Tian Ruzhi, the general manager of the motor factory. Tian Ruzhi had interrupted her doctoral studies in the United States and was working hard to
She devoted herself to the management work of Anhe Electric Machinery Factory. She was born to be a business manager, but she had never had such an opportunity before. Both Ning Zhongying and Qin Hai highly affirmed her work ability and expressed their hope.
Tian Ruzhi naturally accepted the invitation willingly as long as she could stay in Daqin Group as a senior executive.
After finishing these things, Qin Hai took Heizi, who was a secretary, bodyguard, driver and other functions, and boarded the flight to the capital. Their mission to the capital was extraordinary. They would accompany the chief, Ji Mingchu and
Wang Hongsheng and other leaders of ministries and commissions went to Jintang to participate in the launching ceremony of the trial production of Jintang Chemical's 800,000-ton ethylene project.
Ethylene is one of the most important basic organic chemical raw materials. There are countless chemical materials produced using ethylene as raw materials, such as polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, vinylon, polystyrene, styrene-butadiene rubber, etc., which are all used in production and life.
A very wide range of materials. A country’s ethylene production capacity can almost be used as a symbol of its chemical materials production capacity.
From a global perspective, the development of the ethylene industry is characterized by increasing scale. The production capacity of ethylene units has increased from 100,000 tons per year to 300,000 tons, and then to 800,000 tons, 1.1 million tons, etc. Equipment
The improvement of production capacity can effectively reduce consumption and thereby reduce the production cost of ethylene. This is the direction that all major industrial countries are striving to develop.
However, the expansion of the scale of the ethylene plant does not simply require making the equipment larger. Ethylene production involves many low-temperature links, including compressors, spherical tanks and other devices whose operating temperatures must reach about minus 100 degrees, which is very important for The low-temperature performance of steel has created strict requirements. Due to the lack of low-temperature material technology, my country's large-scale ethylene equipment has long been dependent on imports, which takes up a lot of foreign exchange. The most critical thing is that this makes China's ethylene production difficult. Be independent and have to act based on other people's opinions.
Five or six years ago, Qin Hai began to promote the research and development and production of domestic large-scale ethylene equipment. He invested a lot of money in the Department of Chemical Engineering of Huaqing University and the National Chemical Engineering Design Institute, and made a special trip to Russia to hire a large number of experts in low-temperature materials.
As an accomplished expert in the field, Wang Hongsheng successively broke through many difficulties in low-temperature materials. Later, Wang Hongsheng helped Qinhai coordinate several major petrochemical equipment companies from the height of the State Planning Commission. Through division of labor and cooperation, he started China's first set of
Localization of 800,000-ton large-scale ethylene plant.
This large-scale ethylene plant is invested by Daqin Group. The site is located in Jintang, the chemical industry base of Daqin Group. After several years of construction, this plant has now been fully installed and all debugging has been completed. We are just waiting for the invitation.
Relevant leaders will cut the ribbon in person, and the materials can be put into trial production.
The successful localization of large-scale ethylene equipment is a major event that can be written into the history of industry, and its value cannot be overestimated. It is precisely because of this that Qin Hai specially asked the veteran general Ji Mingchu to come forward and invite the chief to attend the launching ceremony.
Of course, Qin Hai could not predict whether the chief would attend such a ceremony despite his busy schedule.
I don’t know if it was because of Ji Mingchu’s face or Qin Hai’s own face. A few days ago, Qin Hai finally received a formal notice informing him that the leader had agreed to participate in the launching ceremony. After receiving this notice, Qin Hai did not dare to delay at all.
Hurry to the capital and prepare to accompany the chief to Jintang.
"Haha, you have a lot of face. As soon as the chief heard that it was a project of your Daqin Group, he immediately asked his secretary to arrange the time. He also said that he didn't need to participate in other activities. This activity is a must."
In Ji Mingchu's office, the old general smiled and said to Qin Hai, who had just arrived after a long journey.
Even though Qin Hai was very nervous, he couldn't help but sweatdropped when he heard what Ji Mingchu said: "Mr. Ji, your words are really embarrassing to me. No matter how arrogant I am, I know that the commander is definitely targeting you.
I only agreed to save face. Otherwise, how could we, a small private enterprise, be qualified to have the chief executive make a special trip?"
Ji Mingchu shook his head and said seriously: "I'm not exaggerating. That's what the chief said at the time. He really didn't do it for my sake."
"How can I believe this?" Qin Haidao said, "Our Daqin Group is considered top among private enterprises, but compared with so many large state-owned enterprises, it is not enough. There is no way the chief would put us in such a high position.
In a high position?"
Ji Mingchu said: "Your company is not the largest, but the leader has always kept it in mind for your contribution to the country. Even the country does not dare to take the risk of localizing 800,000 tons of ethylene, but your Daqin Group dares to do so."
You did it, and it was done. For this reason alone, it is worthy of the chief to celebrate you."
"This... can barely be regarded as a credit." Qin Hai laughed. It seems that the leader still knows the goods, knows how difficult this matter is, and also knows the significance of the successful localization of 800,000 tons of ethylene.
An 800,000-ton ethylene plant required an investment of RMB 7 to 8 billion, which once almost wiped out the fortune of the Daqin Group. Although the country is said to be a big business, with an annual fiscal revenue of hundreds of billions, money is needed.
Yes, a large project like this requires repeated consideration and prudent decision-making.
Except for Qin Hai, no one has confidence in the localization of 800,000 tons of ethylene. This determines that the country does not dare to blindly invest in this project. Instead, it must complete the research and development of various equipment step by step, and wait until various
Only after all technologies are mature can we dare to start them.
Qin Hai is an alternative. He knows that the main obstacle to the localization of large-scale ethylene plants lies in low-temperature materials. Although he is not an expert in low-temperature materials and cannot personally solve these key technical problems, he is very familiar with the channels to solve these problems and knows
As long as sufficient personnel and financial investment are ensured, solutions to these problems can be expected.
With such self-confidence, Qin Hai persuaded Ning Zhongying, Song Hongxuan and other group executives to push forward the launch of the large-scale ethylene project. Practice has shown that his foresight was very accurate, and those who participated in the project research
Various scientific research teams fulfilled their mission, and several large petrochemical equipment companies also showed strong technical strength, which ultimately enabled the project to be successfully put into production.
Since the large-scale ethylene plant is a major piece of equipment with strategic significance, and the key technologies such as low-temperature steel and large compressors formed during the localization of the plant can be transplanted to other industrial fields and promote the rise of the country's overall industrial strength, this project is progressing
During the process, it has always received great attention from relevant national departments. No fewer than ten work briefings have been delivered to the chief executive. How could the chief executive not understand the significance of this project?
Even if Qin Hai did not ask Ji Mingchu to come forward and invite him, the chief had actually planned to find a suitable time to inspect this important project. Ji Mingchu's invitation played right into the chief's wish, so there was such a smooth result.
Of course, Qin Hai does not understand this situation. He is not at the national decision-making level and does not understand how leaders at the decision-making level weigh various things. Hearing that the chief attaches great importance to the 800,000-ton ethylene project, Qin Hai felt that
It's also more practical.
After two days of preparation, it was finally time to set off. Qin Hai and Heizi arrived at the Xijiao Airport where the special plane was parked at the time specified by the General Office. After going through a strict security inspection, the security personnel took them on board.
After boarding the special plane, Heizi was placed in a compartment where the escorts stayed, while Qin Hai was led to the chief's compartment.
"Chief, Comrade Qin Hai is here."
The guard reported to the chief who was sitting at his desk and looking at the documents attentively.
"Oh." The chief responded, put down the document, raised his head, and looked at Qin Hai standing in front of him with interest. After a while, he said with a smile: "Haha, Xiao Qin, we haven't seen each other in a few years.
Right? I see you have grown stronger again."
"The chief is actually younger than before." Qin Hai smiled and said an all-purpose compliment.
"Getting old is a natural law. You can't accept aging." The leader touched his hair, then pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "Stop standing, sit down and talk."
"Will I delay the chief's time?" Qin Hai asked with some worry. When people talk about leaders, they always like to use words like "managing everything every day" to describe it. Qin Hai doesn't know if the chief has any
Important matters need to be dealt with. Is it appropriate for me to sit here and chat with the chief?
"Don't waste time." The chief gestured with his hand, asked Qin Hai to sit down, and then said: "It takes two hours to fly to Jintang. These two hours belong to you. I heard that your
Daqin Industrial Group is mainly engaged in material production and scientific research. Can you give me a systematic explanation of how a country's materials industry should develop." (To be continued)
