"We must cross the difficult past"
At 1745, the car that Premier Wen Jiabao rode slowly entered the Zhenhai Refinery Production Zone and stopped at the entrance of the control room in the center of the New Refinery District. Wearing a navy blue jacket, Premier Wen Jiabao smiled, walked out of the car, and kindly shook hands with the cadres and workers.
Upon entering the central control room, Premier Wen warmly applauded the entire hall. The Prime Minister frequently waved greetings to more than 30 workers on duty and greeting the operators who stick to their jobs.
Before he came to the console, he held the staff's hand and talked with them affectionately. When he heard that the current operation is stable and the device is running at full capacity, Premier Wen's face showed a satisfied smile.
Jiang Zhenghong, manager of Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Branch and party secretary, briefed Premier Wen on the development of Zhenhai's refining and chemical industry. Jiang Zhenghong said: “Zhenhai Refinery is the largest refinery company in the country and currently has a refining capacity of 20 million tons per year. Last year, the actual processing volume reached 18.61 million tons, and this year it plans to reach 19.5 million tons, and processing capacity accounts for 12% of Sinopec. At the national level of 6%, a 1 million-ton/year ethylene plant is under construction. At the same time, from the consideration of ethylene production, the refining capacity will be expanded to 23 million tons/year by September next year.â€
Su Shulin introduced Premier Wen: “The processing cost of Zhenhai Refinery is the lowest among all refineries in the country.â€
Premier Wen asked after hearing: "If Zhenhai Refining and Chemicals loses money, other companies will lose more?"
Su Shulin said: "Zhenhai has lost its refining capacity and other refinery companies have suffered even more losses. In addition, in order to guarantee the domestic market supply, by May, we have imported 1.8 million tons of refined oil."
Premier Wen encouraged everyone to say, "We must cross the difficulties."
Su Shulin said: "Please ask the Prime Minister to rest assured that we have to hold our teeth."
"You care about the overall situation, thank you very much."
Premier Wen Jiabao was very concerned about the operation of the production plant. Before the continuous reformer computer control screen, Premier Wen paused and watched the workers' operations with interest.
Jiang Zhenghong said: “This is a profitable device, mainly producing aromatic hydrocarbons. Aromatic hydrocarbons are better, but in order to protect the market, we gave up this benefit product and increased the output of gasoline and diesel as much as possible.â€
The Prime Minister said with great satisfaction after hearing: “You care about the big picture.†The Prime Minister also raised his voice and said to everyone: “Zhenhai Refinery is the largest oil refining company in the country, with the largest scale, the most advanced technology, the best efficiency, and the three most 'Reduced to one point, contributed the most.'
Su Shulin said to the cadres and workers present at the meeting: “This is the Prime Minister’s affirmation of Zhenhai Refining and Chemicals.†Premier Wen continued: “We must add a little more to the overall situation.â€
Premier Wen also paid close attention to current oil production and market sales. He detailedly asked about crude oil prices, sales of refined oil products, and business losses.
The person in charge of Zhenhai Refining and Chemicals reported to Premier Wen: “Once the oil price is upside down, we suffer more serious losses. Zhenhai Refinery is the best company for Sinopec’s refining segment. We calculate the current price in the first quarter and we have to make a loss, because we have a large amount of processing. However, the attitude of the cadres and staff is very good."
Premier Wen said thoughtfully: "Oil prices are a problem that is circling every day in my head."
The person in charge of Zhenhai Refining and Chemicals said to Premier Wen: "Premier, you can rest assured that we will certainly worry about our country and do a good job!"
Premier Wen said with pleasure: "You are very grateful to you for your consideration of the overall situation."
"We must keep in mind the words "safety, quality, efficiency, and environmental protection."
The modern central control room is bright and spacious. On the row of computer consoles, the display continuously flashes the actual process flow parameters.
Premier Wen saw the operator on the job stand up to welcome him and waved his hand affectionately. “Thank you. Sitting, you still sit and work.†Premier Wen asked an employee: “Zhenghai refinery and processing a ton of crude oil, processing fees It's 108 yuan, the national average is 180 yuan, which is lower than the country's 70 yuan. Where does it lie?" The employee replied: "Through careful management and everyone's efforts," the premier laughed and said: "He talked a little , fine management; another point, rely on everyone to work together and speak well.â€
The Prime Minister also said with concern: "Now everyone is very busy with work, right?" The staff member replied: "We must be very careful in our smooth operation." The Prime Minister was very satisfied after hearing that, and he said: "The factory has been a few years ago. Basically, it is very safe, right? This is very important. Keep in mind the words "safety, quality, efficiency, and environmental protection."
Premier Wen Jiabao is very concerned about the work and living conditions of staff and workers. He has to inquire about their academic qualifications and income when he arrives.

The heart of the staff.
Stepping out of the central control room, Premier Wen shook hands with the company’s labor model Le Kaiping. After seeing the gracious Premier Wen Jiabao, Le Kaiping proposed that he want to have a picture with Premier Wen Jiabao. Premier Wen Jiabao agreed happily, and suddenly he laughed.
When it was learned that the localization rate of large ethylene reached over 80%, the Prime Minister laughed happily.
When leaving the Central Control Room of the New Refinery, the sky is getting late. However, Premier Wen Jiabao still worked tirelessly and went to the scene of the construction of the large ethylene project.
Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd.'s 1 million-tonne ethylene project is the largest ethylene project in China and was started construction in November 2006. Now, the ethylene project is under intense construction. The underground project will be basically completed before the end of May.
The chief comrades of Su Shulin and Zhenhai Refining and Chemical introduced the situation of the installation to Premier Wen. The ethylene project has a total of 10 major installations with a total investment of over 23 billion yuan. The internal net assets rate of return exceeds 15%, which can be compared with the Middle East ethylene installation. Although the ethylene plant in the Middle East uses natural gas as raw material and the raw material cost is low, after Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd. realizes integration of refining and chemical industry, raw materials can also be inferior in quality, and exhaust gas from the refinery can also be used as raw materials, and the product structure and process route can be used. Optimized, so the cost can be significantly reduced to achieve a higher internal rate of return.
Premier Wen asked: “What is the localization rate of the entire ethylene project?†When it was learned that the localization rate of the device reached more than 80%, the Premier smiled happily.
Lu Zushan, governor of Zhejiang Province, told Premier Wen that two large-scale equipment manufacturing plants in Hangzhou have participated in Zhenhai's refining and chemical engineering equipment manufacturing. It is hoped that through the ethylene project, the equipment manufacturing industry in Zhejiang Province will be brought up.
Jiang Zhenghong said that according to the requirements of the country, Sinopec has supported our national industry by increasing the localization rate, and the localization rate of several new large-scale ethylene plants has been high. Premier Wen is very satisfied with this.
At 18:15, Premier Wen Jiabao ended the inspection of Zhenhai Refinery.
Looking forward to the far-off Premiership team, reminiscing about Premier Wen’s concerns and ardent expectations for petrochemical companies, Zhenhai Refining and Chemicals’ cadres and staff are always on the lookout for the breeze, and they feel deeply responsible and proud. They said that they will definitely not live up to the expectations of the Prime Minister and must do a good job of work and make new and greater contributions to the country’s economic development.
