Hundreds of workers are making every effort to carry out the work of trestle pipeline insulation and preparation for going to sea before loading the 5-2CEPC block of Luda 5-2CEPC. Tao Fuwen, general manager of Offshore Oil Engineering (Qingdao) Co., Ltd., introduced that in order to ensure the completion of the offshore construction plan, the project organization carried out the pre-connection construction of the wellhead pipeline in advance, and carried out the water circulation commissioning of the process system after the weather warmed up, so as to seize the construction period for the subsequent completion of offshore machinery.
At the same time, a number of domestic and foreign projects such as "Offshore Oil 122" cylindrical FPSO, Bayou P79, and Bozhong 26-6 are also under construction in an orderly manner. Among them, the "Offshore Oil 122" cylindrical FPSO, known as the "Super Energy Bowl", is about to usher in an important node of launching operations. At the moment, workers are working on the installation of internal pipelines and the commissioning of equipment. It is expected that by the end of April this year, this "big guy" will be transported to the South China Sea, becoming another important tool for developing the mainland's deep-sea oil and gas resources.
Offshore Oil 122 completed the water injection of the floating platform

Qingdao West Coast New Area Sets Up a Financial Butler Team——
Help the steady development of the real economy
"Hello, our company wants to take out a loan, but there is no collateral, can you help us recommend a suitable loan product?" Not long ago, Mi Chao, general manager of Qingdao Kangdacheng Industrial Technology Co., Ltd., dialed the consultation phone of Qingdao Free Trade Zone Branch of China Construction Bank.
It is reported that Kangda City is a small and micro enterprise focusing on the manufacture of hydraulic power machinery and other parts. With the expansion of the market and the upgrading of technology, the company is in urgent need of funds to expand the scale of production. However, due to the small size of the company and the lack of sufficient collateral, it is difficult for traditional loan methods to meet its financing needs.
As the "financial steward" of Qingdao Free Trade Zone, Teng Fei, President of Qingdao Free Trade Zone Branch of China Construction Bank, learned that Kangda City is a technology-based small and medium-sized enterprise, which meets the requirements of the "good new loan" launched by CCB for small and medium-sized enterprises such as specialized, special and new, high-tech and so on, and immediately approved a loan of 2.2 million yuan without collateral in accordance with its qualifications.
"As a 'financial housekeeper', it is necessary to find out the situation of enterprises in the jurisdiction, and truly tailor financing solutions for enterprises with 'butler-style' services, so as to accurately help the development of the real economy. Teng Fei said.
"Financial Butler" is a financial service team specially established for enterprises in Qingdao West Coast New Area, focusing on the development focus of precise revitalization of the "Three Rurals", helping small and micro enterprises, and serving residents, and comprehensively solves the problems of increasing business pressure and mismatch between financial supply and demand, and provides diversified and comprehensive financial services from the aspects of financing support, policy interpretation, and risk prevention, so as to fully support the high-quality development of regional economy and society. At present, 257 staff members of financial institutions and relevant government personnel have formed 31 "financial housekeeper" teams, covering all functional areas, towns and streets and professional industrial parks in the West Coast New Area on a one-to-one basis.
On April 5, the reporter walked into the Longtai Ming Family Farm in Haiqing Town, and saw that the tea farmers were carrying out shallow cultivation and loosening of soil, tea tree pruning and pest control. "Nowadays, green, low-carbon, organic and good tea are very popular, and ecological tea products have become people's first choice. To this end, we actively carried out the construction and cultivation of ecological tea gardens last year, hired professional institutions to do the planning and construction of water, roads, canals and tea gardens in the park, and was approved as a municipal ecological tea garden, but the funds are a little tight in the implementation. Li Junlong, general manager of Longtai Ming Family Farm in Haiqing Town, said.
In the face of the capital needs of tea enterprises, the staff of Haiqing Town Investment Promotion Office immediately contacted the town's "financial housekeeper" - Tang Yu, president of Haiqing Branch of Qingdao Rural Commercial Bank West Coast Branch. After docking and communication, the Rural Commercial Bank carried out data collection, pre-loan investigation, approval and other work at the fastest speed, and provided a credit loan of 200,000 yuan for Longtai Ming Family Farm to expand the scale of operation and improve the quality of tea.
"Providing financial planning, investment and financing services, and risk protection for the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside is one of the key tasks of the 'financial steward'. We will give full play to the role of financial resources in leveraging the economic development and industrial upgrading of towns and streets, and contribute financial momentum to the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. Tang Yu said.
"Party building + credit" whole-village credit extension promotes strong villages and enriching the people, "cross-border flash loans" break through the financing pain points of small, medium and micro foreign trade enterprises, "high-tech credit loans" and "patent pledge insurance loans" help asset-light technology enterprises develop and grow, and inclusive financial service outlets allow new citizens and the elderly to enjoy the convenience brought by innovative financial services...... According to the characteristics of different regions, 31 "financial housekeeper" teams have innovated and created "small scenes", and inclusive finance has released huge energy to promote the sustainable development of the real economy.
According to statistics, the loan balance of Qingdao West Coast New Area in February was 450.888 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 12.75%, and the financial system continued to increase its efforts to support the real economy.
"Since 2023, Qingdao West Coast New Area has continued to carry out the 'Spring Rain Action' of financial services for the real economy, giving full play to the role of mechanisms such as 'financial steward' and 'financial counseling', innovating and creating excellent financial services, providing normalized, accurate and all-round financial services, further promoting the benign interaction and deep integration of finance, enterprises and the masses, and injecting a steady stream of 'financial living water' into the real economy. Hao Yongming, director of the local financial supervision bureau of Qingdao West Coast New Area, said.
