In the critical period of promoting new industrialization and developing new quality productivity, Shanghai is actively creating a first-class industrial ecology with its innovative driving force to ensure that it maintains its leading position in future industrial competition. Young people should take the lead in promoting the development of new quality productivity and fulfill their responsibilities as new youth. The Shanghai Economic and Information System has provided a broad stage for industrial youth through the innovative "2+2+N" Youth League work system, allowing them to fully display their talents, strive for excellence, be pioneers, gather youth power, and contribute youth wisdom.

Youth create a better tomorrow. The core of the "2+2+N" work system is the dual drive of learning and thinking and job practice, the dual cultivation of scientific and technological innovation talents and high-skilled talents, and the formation of a gradient dual link between the Youth League organizations of various units in the system and the characteristic work of the Youth League Working Committee of the system. From a concrete point of view, the focus is on promoting the "Jingfeng Contribution Action (abbreviated as Jingfeng Action) + Jingyan Youth Lecture Hall", the youth "double competition", and the rich and colorful youth characteristic work of various units in the system.

"Jingfeng + Jingyan", a dual combination and drive of learning, thinking and job practice

"Elite" leads the way and young people tackle tough problems.

As the core of the "2+2+N" system, the Shanghai Economic and Information Technology System Elite Action aims to stimulate the vitality of the youth assault team and guide young people to shoulder heavy responsibilities in the construction of major projects.

Focusing on the "major issues of the country" and "the key issues of the city", and focusing on major national strategic tasks and the key points of Shanghai's high-quality industrial development, the Jingfeng Action will start in 2023, guiding and supporting industrial youth to serve the overall situation, and leading the system's youth to carry out youth job-building actions around the central work, and strive to revitalize the youth commando team's contemporary glory, and demonstrate and motivate the majority of young people to stand up and overcome difficulties in the construction of major projects and "urgent, difficult and dangerous" tasks.

"Jing" means "information", and it also means "elite", and it also contains the "qing" of "youth". Feng means "pioneer". This is the origin of the name "Jingfeng".

Operation Jingfeng first began trials in three key areas: tackling major national equipment issues, leading smart factories, and ensuring supply and stabilizing growth, and will be expanded to nine areas by 2024.

The 2023 Jingfeng Operation formulated 13 tasks, 24 youth league organizations "took the lead" and established 54 youth assault teams. In the end, the task completion rate reached 96.3%.

In order to actively promote new industrialization and develop new quality productivity, according to the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Promotion of New Industrialization in Shanghai", in 2024, the Shanghai Economic and Information Technology System Youth League Committee will further broaden the "Jingfeng" task areas on the basis of last year's three key directions, and implement industrial base reconstruction and major technical equipment research projects, promote the innovative application of large models in the industry, build a computing network, stimulate the value of industrial data, implement the "Chuangxin" plan for automotive chips, implement the super application scenario opening plan, promote green transformation, tackle major national equipment, and ensure supply and stable growth. In 9 areas, a new list of 43 tasks has been formulated.

By consolidating goals, aggregating forces, combining projects, matching mechanisms, and integrating resources, we will promote the joint planning, deployment, assessment, and efforts of the League's work and the central work, and further encourage young people in the economic and information system to take the lead and play the leading role in major national strategic tasks and major projects in the city.

"Basically, all the easily-extracted oil and natural gas have been extracted!" said Li Wenjun, chief engineer of development geology at the Research Institute of CNOOC (China) Limited Shanghai Branch.

Low-permeability oil and gas fields are like a dense and hard grindstone. How to squeeze out the oil and gas in the grindstone? This is a recognized world-class problem. "Operation Jingfeng has given us opportunities, motivation and cohesion," said Li Wenjun.

The Youth Commando is a scientific and innovative team with CNOOC young job experts and young scientific and technological talents as the core. There are currently 28 scientific researchers, of which 71% are young people under the age of 35. With the joint efforts of the Youth Commando, by learning from and referring to domestic and foreign oil and gas field exploration and development technologies, they constantly hone their skills, break through technical bottlenecks, and finely depict the "sweet spots" inside the ancient river channel. For the first time, they have achieved high-yield and efficient development of a small number of wells in large-scale low-permeability and ultra-low-permeability offshore gas fields at home and abroad, and their technical achievements have reached the international leading level. Recently, they were commended by the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League.
