As a high-performance additive, building material grade cellulose ether can improve the water retention and thickening of building materials and improve the workability of construction. It is widely used to improve and optimize the performance of building materials products, including masonry mortar, thermal insulation mortar, ceramic tile bonding mortar, self leveling mortar, PVC resin manufacturing, latex paint, water-resistant putty, etc, Make it meet the requirements of energy conservation and environmental protection, improve the construction efficiency of buildings and decoration, and indirectly apply it to the masonry and plastering construction and internal and external wall decoration of various types of construction projects, which is in line with the development direction of energy conservation and environmental protection of new building materials in the national industrial policy. At the same time, the company can further improve the production efficiency of 130000 tons of raw materials such as chlorine rich cotton and propylene oxide, which can also be used as the main raw materials for the production of chlorine rich cotton and sodium hydroxide. The company plans to invest 480 million yuan to build a cellulose ether project with an annual output of 60000 tons. After the project is put into operation, it has good market space and can achieve good social and economic benefits.

Therefore, the project construction is necessary.

(II) feasibility of project construction

The cellulose ether project to be invested and constructed by the company is located in the fine chemical industrial park of Huling industrial cluster area, Jiyuan City, close to the Huling plant area of Qingyuan Water treatment. After the construction is completed, it will become a new production workshop for clean water treatment. Some public works facilities in Qingyuan water treatment plant area can be used in the construction and production process. The water, heat, electricity and communication for the construction, production and living of the project can be guaranteed. The living and welfare facilities are complete and the social support conditions are good. The project may acquire some new land according to the actual situation of the project, but there is no need to demolish any public buildings and residential areas, and there is no resettlement problem. The project construction area has superior natural geographical location, mainly railways and highways, convenient transportation and communication. At the same time, electricity and water can be guaranteed, which provides good construction conditions for achieving the expected project implementation progress.

However, in the long run, if the project can be successfully implemented, it will have a positive impact on the company’s business layout and operating performance, which is in line with the interests of all shareholders of the company.

6、 Risks of project investment

The implementation cycle of this investment project is long. Due to the impact of macroeconomic, industrial policies, market environment changes and other factors, the specific implementation progress and implementation are uncertain. The impact of the project on the company’s performance after completion depends on the project development and future market conditions. There is uncertainty. Investors are reminded to pay attention to the following risks:

1. Project approval risk

During the implementation of the proposed investment project, many procedures such as filing, safety, environmental protection and energy conservation need to be handled, and many links involve government approval. In addition, some land may be newly acquired according to the actual construction situation of the project (but there is no need to demolish any public buildings and residential areas, and there is no Resettlement Problem). The newly acquired land involves the approval of the administrative department, and the project approval may not meet the expectations, resulting in the extension of the project construction cycle Risk of suspension and termination.

2. Financial risk

The construction fund demand of the proposed investment project is large, which may have a certain impact on the capital liquidity of the company, and the financial expenses and debt repayment risk may increase in the short term. If the fund-raising is not completed according to the project implementation progress, it may lead to the risk of extension, suspension and termination of the project construction cycle.

3. Construction and operation risk

For the investment and construction of the proposed investment project, on the one hand, there is a risk that the project will be completed late or the trial production will not be smooth, on the other hand, there is a risk that the economic benefits of the project will not reach the expected goal due to the increase of investment or operating costs.

4. Environmental protection and safety production risks

With the implementation of strict environmental protection standards by the government, the environmental protection cost of the company will be gradually increased in the future, which may lead to a more in-depth impact on the environmental protection cost of the company in the future. Some raw materials and intermediate products required by the company’s products are flammable, explosive, corrosive or toxic substances, which have special requirements for storage and transportation. The company is equipped with perfect safety facilities and has established perfect accident early warning and emergency treatment mechanism. The whole production process is always under control, and the possibility of safety accidents is very small. However, it can not be ruled out that accidental safety accidents caused by improper storage, transportation, operation or natural disasters affect the normal production and operation of the company. 5. Epidemic risk

At present, the covid-19 epidemic in China has been repeated from time to time, and the situation of epidemic prevention and control is still severe. If the epidemic continues to repeat, it will have an adverse impact on the business development of the company’s new projects, and the degree of impact depends on the progress and duration of epidemic prevention and control.

6. Market risk

The proposed investment project is in the initial stage, which may lead to the risk that the market expansion of the company will not be as expected in the future due to factors such as insufficient market development ability or downstream customers’ requirements for product certification.

In view of the above risks, the company will actively pay attention to macroeconomic fluctuations, timely track market policies, study and judge the market situation, predict and prevent possible adverse conditions in project construction. At the same time, the company will reduce project risks by strengthening technical cooperation and development with universities and scientific research institutes, strengthening the introduction of professional and technical talents, strengthening project management and accelerating the progress of project construction. The company will actively coordinate the fund, reasonably determine the financing mode and term structure, orderly and steadily raise funds in combination with the progress of project implementation, and successfully complete the project construction according to the project planning.
