Chemical and chemical differences

In order to partially dispel this understanding, I will use real examples to talk about what chemical engineering students can do to help everyone understand the difference:

First of all, what is the difference between the discipline of chemical engineering and the chemical industry, do I have to find employment in an industrial enterprise or research institute? Learning a discipline means that you have a deeper understanding of the discipline, and you can engage in various tasks related to it.

For example, a representative example is that a graduate student of my department went to Dalian to work in futures trading, because a large proportion of the commodities in international trade are chemical products, including crude oil, various domestic products that cannot be produced. Basic industrial raw materials, the import of LNG, which has been hot during this period, and so on.

Another example is that a senior has worked in a financial department such as a securities company. There are two main ways to evaluate the investment of a securities company. One is to perform fundamental analysis and the other is to use mathematical models for quantitative analysis. The former method currently accounts for 80% share. The so-called fundamental investment is to conduct field research, evaluate technology, management and other aspects of an enterprise, and give an evaluation report of the enterprise to determine whether to buy. In this way, there are very high requirements for industry knowledge, such as chemical industry Master's degree or above. At present, the domestic chemical industry is so huge and the number of companies is very large, so there is also a lot of demand in this regard. For example, CITIC Securities (China's strongest securities company) has a special "energy chemical" group.

Similarly, there are brothers who specialize in insurance analysis of chemical companies at the headquarters of the People's Insurance Company of China, and banks in Shanghai that set up a branch that loans to many local petrochemical companies, recruiting doctorates from the chemical department, and alumni who have graduated earlier. To provide professional legal services for companies in the industry, it is unique in the legal field (everyone knows the status and status of China's legal industry), and few people can compete with it.

I also have some examples in the investment field. I used to work as an intern in a company set up by Yan Xuechang. They are an investment group that specializes in energy and mineral related investments. The LNG trade project I participated in included chemical processes such as natural gas liquefaction. An international trade project; another senior in the investment field (when I saw the name unclear last time) started as a medical device and now specializes in investment in related fields such as biomaterials and energy;

There is also a legendary Zhu Xuechang, who is our legend. The 9 people who originally brought out the business now have become the general managers of the company he founded. The total output value is billion, and the fields they are in are also pharmaceuticals, materials, and other chemicals. Field, now he is doing angel investment. I believe that if they do n’t know how to do it, their investment will be mostly sloppy.

Of course, if you want to say that the person I have met most admired from the chemical engineering profession is Mr. Zhu Weiren, who is the earliest founder of our "Siyuan" project (or "Godfather"), from the United States After graduating from chemical engineering, he engaged in commercial real estate investment in the United States, then invested in the IT industry in China, and now invests in the bio industry in Beijing. Every time he accurately grasped the pulse of the industry development, creating huge for the country and its own enterprises. the value of. It is worth mentioning that many of the early members of the Tsinghua Entrepreneur Association are also his investment targets. Of course, the distance between him and the undergraduate major is also running away, but this does not prevent his success.
