A doctor from Tsinghua University who once ran Jiujiang Petrochemical Company and paid over 10 billion in annual taxes. How good is the new mayor of Shenzhen?

Author: Jin Lun

On the afternoon of April 24, the 50th meeting of the Standing Committee of the Sixth Shenzhen Municipal People’s Congress voted to adopt a series of resolutions and personnel appointments and removals. The meeting appointed Qin Weizhong as deputy mayor and acting mayor of Shenzhen. At the same time, Chen Rugui's resignation as mayor of Shenzhen was accepted.

At this point, there is no suspense about Qin Weizhong being appointed as the mayor of Shenzhen in the future.

Qin Weizhong's resume can be described as brilliant, and he is a typical "proud man of heaven":

He was born in Jilin City, Jilin Province in July 1971, and his ancestral home is Yulin, Guangxi. He studied polymer materials in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Tsinghua University and received a doctorate in engineering. Currently, Qin Weizhong is the youngest government “top leader” in a sub-provincial city.

Tan Weizhong is a standard science and engineering man and professional.

In 1994, Qin Weizhong, who was studying at Tsinghua University, applied for the patent of "Polyvinylidene fluoride piezoelectric film medical multifunctional flexible sensor" to the National Patent Office, and received the certificate issued by the National Patent Office in 1997.

In 1996, Qin Weizhong started as an assistant engineer and engineer in the Planning and Long-range Planning Department of Sinopec Corporation, and then climbed up the ranks in this department until 2008 when he was appointed as the General Manager of China Petrochemical Corporation (China Petrochemical Co., Ltd.) Deputy Director of the Development Planning Department and Director of the New Energy Office of Sinopec. In his previous work experience of more than ten years, he has always had the word "Planning Department".

In July 2010, Qin Weizhong "exposed" Jiujiang within the petrochemical system. As a result, he became the director of Sinopec Jiujiang Petrochemical General Plant, deputy secretary of the party committee, and general manager of Sinopec Jiujiang Branch. Working successfully in these positions demonstrates his excellent qualities as an entrepreneur.

In 2013, the third year after Qin Weizhong, a polytechnic man who graduated from the Department of Chemical Engineering of Tsinghua University, took office in Jiujiang, the company achieved "four breakthroughs" in production and operations, processing 5.1918 million tons of crude oil, a record high; and achieving sales Revenue was 32.8 billion yuan, and taxes and fees paid were 5.7 billion yuan, a record high; annual benefits increased by 422 million yuan; economic benefits and profit per ton of oil ranked second among Sinopec's refining and chemical enterprises along the Yangtze River. With the neighboring brother enterprises basically completing the 8 million tons/year oil product quality upgrade and transformation, we have completed the efficiency catch-up with a 5 million tons production scale.

To run a business, you must rely on data to speak for itself. Whether it can help the company earn back its money lies with the leader.

According to local media reports in Jiangxi, after seven years in charge of Jiujiang Petrochemical, Qin Weizhong built an 8 million tons/year oil quality upgrading and transformation project to high standards; the smart factory was selected into the first batch of demonstration projects for the smart manufacturing pilot project of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The economic and technical indicators rank among the top among enterprises of similar size in the industry; the company won the 4th National Civilized Unit Award.

In 2016, Jiujiang Petrochemical processed 7.25 million tons of crude oil, achieved sales revenue of 32.6 billion yuan, and book profits of nearly 2 billion yuan; it paid 12.3 billion yuan in taxes and fees, ranking first in Jiangxi, with the highest per capita contribution rate. Ranking first in the industry.

Interestingly, one of the areas in charge of Qin Weizhong when he later served as deputy governor of Guangdong Province was housing and urban-rural construction. During his time in Jiujiang, Qin Weizhong’s performance in this area was also remarkable: < /p>

He launched a three-year community renovation and upgrading plan and invested more than 75 million yuan in the renovation and upgrading of old communities in three years; he completed renovation projects such as Daqing Road, Youth Apartments and Lushan Training Base to high standards, and completed Community residential buildings have been transformed from flat to sloped and other "greening, lighting and beautification" renovations, and community supporting facilities have undergone significant changes.

He made great efforts to promote the group purchase of commercial housing in Bali Lake and worked hard to improve the housing conditions of employees.

The result is: the company has been rated as an advanced unit for Sinopec’s petition stabilization work for two consecutive terms.

In 2013, the results of a survey on the ideological status of all employees showed that the proportion of company employees who were proud to be members of Jiujiang Petrochemical increased to 70%, an increase of 50 percentage points from the survey results in early 2011.

Qin Weizhong got a high score in Jiujiang.

In 2010, 2011, and 2012, he was rated as the Outstanding Factory Director (Manager) of Jiangxi Province, the Outstanding Entrepreneur of Jiangxi Province, the Outstanding Entrepreneur of the Year in Jiujiang City, and one of Jiujiang City’s “Top Ten Economists” for three consecutive years. "Character" and other honorary titles. In 2011, he won the "May 1st Labor Medal" of Jiangxi Province and the Jiujiang City Model Worker.

In 2014, Qin Weizhong became the winner of the National May 1st Labor Medal.

The following year, Qin Weizhong received a doctorate in engineering. He studied as an on-the-job postgraduate student in the Chemical Engineering and Technology Department of the Department of Chemical Engineering at Tsinghua University for many years. This is one of the results of his study.

In 2017, Qin Weizhong was promoted to work at China National Petroleum Corporation (renamed China National Petroleum Corporation in December 2017), serving as deputy general manager and director of China National Petroleum Corporation (2017.06), for three months Later, he also served as the chairman of China Petroleum Engineering Co., Ltd.

Tan Weizhong is quite low-key, but he never forgets his alma mater.

During his work, Qin Weizhong returned to his alma mater, Tsinghua University, for academic exchanges many times. In 2011, he donated 20,000 yuan to his alma mater. In 2015, Qin Weizhong co-published a paper "Research on the Integrated Model of Production and Operation Information for Refining and Chemical Enterprises Facing Smart Factories" in the "Journal of Tsinghua University (Natural Science Edition)".

In December 2016, Qin Weizhong, then general manager of Sinopec Jiujiang Petrochemical, returned to his alma mater to give an academic report. In the report, he talked about the influence of Tsinghua Chemical's talent training tradition that he experienced during his undergraduate, master's and doctoral studies. He also put forward pertinent suggestions to graduate students based on his own work experience. After the report, Professor Chen Bingzhen, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, presented Qin Weizhong with a commemorative plaque of the Tsinghua Chemical Engineering Forum on behalf of the Department of Chemical Engineering.

In April 2018, the Department of Chemical Engineering of Tsinghua University organized a chemical engineering education consultation symposium, and Qin Weizhong spoke as an alumni representative. He said that in an environment of diversified social values, while respecting personal values, students should be guided to unify personal values ??and social values. At the same time, professional education and cross-disciplinary education should be strengthened to allow students to have more exposure to the most advanced modern chemical companies. , effectively stimulate students’ professional interests.

Less than two years after joining China National Petroleum Corporation, Qin Weizhong’s work history changed again.

In March 2019, he was appointed as the deputy governor of Guangdong Province, attracting media attention. After all, the promotion of a "post-70s" Tsinghua doctor to deputy minister is indeed big news.

The official website of the Department of Chemical Engineering of Tsinghua University also updated the news immediately, saying that "As an outstanding alumnus of the Department of Chemical Engineering of Tsinghua University, President Qin Wei has been actively caring about and supporting the talent training of the Department of Chemical Engineering for many years."

According to the official website of the Guangdong Provincial Government, Qin Wei is ranked fourth among the vice-governors:

Responsible for ecological environment, housing and urban-rural construction, water conservancy, counselors, literature and history, local chronicles, petitions, and government service data management aspect work.

In charge of the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, Department of Water Resources, Counselor’s Office, Local Chronicle Office, and Agency Construction Bureau.

Contact the Provincial Ethnic and Religious Affairs Commission, the Provincial Meteorological Bureau, the South China Inspection Bureau of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Pearl River Basin and South China Sea Ecological Environment Supervision and Administration Bureau, and the relevant agencies of the Ministry of Water Resources in Guangdong.

The two directions that Qin Weizhong is in charge of are closely related to the future development of Shenzhen. One is the ecological environment, and the other is housing and urban-rural construction.

The evaluation system closely related to the ecological environment is GEP. On March 23, Shenzhen released the country’s first complete ecosystem gross production accounting system—the “1+3” GEP accounting system.

What is GEP?

To put it simply: GEP is the gross ecosystem product.

To put it more complicatedly: it refers to the sum of the value of various final material products and services (referred to as "ecological products") provided by the ecosystem for human well-being and sustainable economic and social development, mainly including those provided by the ecosystem. The value of material goods, regulatory services and cultural services.

In layman’s terms: “Lucid waters and lush mountains are mountains of gold and silver.” How much it is worth must be digitized and quantifiable, and data support must be provided for economic development and people’s happiness in life.

Dr. Qin Weizhong from Tsinghua University has demonstrated his abilities and achievements in his previous work, and has a certain understanding of the current ecological environment of Guangdong Province. So, how can Shenzhen realize GEP under the current circumstances? Healthy growth? This is a test question before Tan Weizhong. I believe he can get high scores.

During his tenure at Sinopec Jiujiang, Qin Weizhong solved the housing problem of employees very well. He has practical experience and successful cases.

After being promoted to deputy governor of Guangdong Province, he was in charge of the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, which gave him a macro vision in the field of housing and construction, and a full understanding and grasp of policies. So, how will he face the current high housing prices in Shenzhen? This is a very difficult must-answer question. I hope Qin Weizhong can win a "big victory" like he did in Jiujiang.

Qin Weizhong came to Shenzhen with the mission of further promoting the high-quality development of Shenzhen and wished Shenzhen well. We are also happy to see Tsinghua doctors once again display their "student master" style.
