Qin Hai has set the principles for the affairs of the School of Materials, so he doesn't have to worry about it. Fu Wenbin, Wang Xiaochen and others are all very dedicated people, and after understanding Qin Hai's intentions, they will implement them to the letter. The discovery of graphene is a heavy 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 ill intentions, such as Yoshida Yuan and the like, Qin Hai had already dug a pit for them, just waiting for them to jump off consciously and voluntarily.

During his stay in Hongze, Qin Hai also took the time to inspect the Anhe Electric Factory, which was intensively producing new permanent magnet motors, and listened to the relevant report of Tian Ruzhi, general manager of the motor factory. Tian Ruzhi has interrupted her doctoral studies in the United States and devoted herself to the management of the Anhe Electric Factory. She was born to be a business manager, but she had never been given such an opportunity before. Ning Zhongying and Qin Hai both highly affirmed her work ability, and expressed their hope that she could stay in Daqin Group as an executive, and Tian Ruzhi naturally accepted this invitation.

After finishing these things, Qin Hai took Kuroko, who was also a secretary, bodyguard, driver and other functions, and boarded the flight to the capital. Their mission to the capital is extraordinary, they will accompany the chief, Ji Mingchu and Wang Hongsheng and other leaders of ministries and commissions to Jintang to participate in the launching ceremony of the 800,000-ton ethylene project of Jintang Chemical.

Ethylene is one of the most important basic organic chemical raw materials, and there are countless chemical materials produced by using ethylene as raw materials, such as polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, vinylon, polystyrene, styrene-butadiene rubber, etc., which are very widely used materials in production and life. A country's ethylene production capacity can almost be used as a symbol of the production capacity of chemical materials.

From a global perspective, the development of the ethylene industry is characterized by an increasing scale. The production capacity of the ethylene plant increased from 100,000 tons to 300,000 tons per year, then to 800,000 tons, 1.1 million tons and so on. The improvement of the production capacity of the device can effectively reduce the consumption, thereby reducing the production cost of ethylene, which is the direction that various industrial countries are trying to develop.

However, the expansion of the scale of ethylene plants. It's not as simple as making the device bigger. There are many low-temperature links involved in ethylene production, including compressors, spherical tanks and other devices The working temperature must reach about minus 100 degrees, which has strict requirements for the low-temperature performance of steel. Due to the lack of low-temperature material technology, China's large-scale ethylene equipment can only rely on imports for a long time, occupying a large amount of foreign exchange is still second, the most important thing is that it is difficult for China's ethylene production to be independent, and have to look at the face of others.

Five or six years ago, Qin Hai began to promote the research and development and production of large-scale domestic ethylene plants. He invested a lot of money in the Department of Chemical Engineering of Huaqing University and the National Chemical Design Institute, and made a special trip to Russia to hire a large number of experts who have made great achievements in the field of cryogenic materials, thus breaking through many difficulties in cryogenic materials one after another. Subsequently, Wang Hongsheng, from the height of the State Development Planning Commission, helped Qin Hai coordinate several major petrochemical equipment enterprises, and started the localization of China's first 800,000-ton large-scale ethylene plant through division of labor and cooperation.

This large-scale ethylene plant is invested by Daqin Group. The site was selected in Jintang, the chemical industry base of Daqin Group. After several years of construction, the plant is now fully installed. The commissioning has also been completed, just waiting for the relevant leaders to come to cut the ribbon, and then the trial production can be put into production.

The successful localization of a large-scale ethylene plant is a major event that can be written into industrial history, and its value cannot be overestimated. It is precisely because of this that Qin Hai specially asked the old general Ji Mingchu to come forward. Heads of State were invited to attend the launching ceremony. Of course, whether the chief would attend such a ceremony in his busy schedule was not something that Qin Hai could foresee.

I don't know if it's Ji Mingchu's face, or Qin Hai's own face, a few days ago. Qin Hai finally got an official notice that the chief had agreed to participate in the launching ceremony. After receiving this notice, Qin Hai did not dare to delay at all, and hurried to the capital, preparing to accompany the chief to Jintang.

"Haha, you have a big face, as soon as the chief heard that it was a project of your Daqin Group, he immediately asked the secretary to arrange the time, and said that you can not participate in other activities, this activity must be participated."

In Ji Mingchu's office, the old general said with a smile to Qin Hai, who had just rushed over.

Rao is Qin Hai's nerves are relatively big, and when he heard Ji Mingchu's words, he still couldn't help sweating: "Elder Ji, what you said can torment me, no matter how arrogant I am, I also know that the chief must have agreed for your face." Otherwise, how can we, a small private enterprise, be qualified to let the chief 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 go to me." ”

"How can I believe that?" Qin Haidao, "Our Daqin Group is considered to be the top among private enterprises, but compared with so many super-large state-owned enterprises, it is not enough." There's no way the chief could have put us in such a high position, right? ”

Ji Mingchu said: "Your company is not the largest, but your contribution to the country has always been remembered by the chief." 800,000 tons of ethylene localization, even the country does not dare to take this risk, but your Daqin Group dares to do it, and it has been done, this alone is also worthy of the chief to celebrate you. ”

"This ...... It's barely a credit. Qin Hai smiled, it seems that the chief is still knowledgeable, knows how difficult this matter is, and also knows how meaningful the success of 800,000 tons of ethylene localization is.

A set of 800,000 tons of ethylene plant, with an investment of up to 78 billion yuan, once almost hollowed out the family foundation of Daqin Group. Although the state can say that it is a big business, with a fiscal revenue of hundreds of billions of yuan a year, there are many places where money needs to be used, and such a large project must be repeatedly considered and prudently decided.

Except for Qin Hai, no one has confidence in the localization of 800,000 tons of ethylene, which determines that the country does not dare to blindly invest in this project, but to complete the research and development of various equipment step by step, and wait until the technology is mature.

Qin Hai is an alternative, he knows that the main obstacle to the localization of large-scale ethylene plants is low-temperature materials. Although he is not an expert in cryogenic materials himself and cannot solve these key technical problems himself, he knows very well the channels to solve these problems, and knows that as long as sufficient personnel and capital investment are ensured, the solution of these problems can be expected.

With such self-confidence, Qin Hai persuaded Ning Zhongying, Song Hongxuan and other group executives to promote the launch of large-scale ethylene projects. Practice shows that his prediction is very accurate, the various scientific research teams participating in the project research have fulfilled their mission, and several large petrochemical equipment companies have also shown strong technical strength, and finally the project can be put into production.

Because the large-scale ethylene plant is a strategically important equipment, and the key technologies such as low-temperature steel and large-scale compressors formed in the process of localization of the plant can be transplanted to other industrial fields to promote the rise of the country's overall industrial strength, this project has been highly concerned by the relevant state departments in the process of progress, and there are no less than ten work briefings handed to the chief, how can the chief not understand the significance of this project.

Even if Qin Hai didn't invite Ji Mingchu to come forward, the chief actually planned to find a suitable time to inspect this important project. Ji Mingchu's door-to-door invitation was in the hands of the chief, so there was such a smooth result.

Of course, this situation is something that Qin Hai doesn't understand. He is not a person at the level of national decision-making, and does not understand how the leadership of the decision-making level weighs various things. I heard that the chief attaches great importance to the 800,000-ton ethylene project, and Qin Hai is also down-to-earth.

After two days of preparation, it was finally time to go. Qin Hai and Heizi came to the western suburbs airport where the special plane was parked at the time specified by the general office, and after some strict security checks, the security personnel took them to board the special plane. Kuroko was arranged in a compartment where the escort 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 intently at Wen Jiàn.

"Oh." The chief responded, put down the text, raised his head, looked at Qin Hai standing in front of him with interest, and said with a smile after a while: "Haha, Xiao Qin, we haven't seen each other for a few years, right?" I see you're growing and sturdy again. ”

"The chief is younger than he used to be." Qin Hai smiled and said an almighty compliment.

"When you are old, this is the law of nature, and it is not okay to be old." The chief touched his hair, then pointed to the sofa next to him, and said, "Don't stand, sit down and talk." ”

"Am I going to delay the chief?" Qin Hai asked with some apprehension. When people talk about leadership, they always like to use words like "every day" to describe it, Qin Hai doesn't know if the chief has important things to deal with, is it appropriate to sit here and chat with the chief?

"Don't waste time." The chief gestured with his hand to let Qin Hai sit down, and then said, "It will take two hours to fly to Jintang." These two hours are yours. I heard that your Daqin Industrial Group is mainly engaged in material production and scientific research, can you systematically tell me how a country's material industry should develop?
