Chapter 195 The war is approaching

Although Fang Mingyuan and the Guo family have reached a consensus on building a port in Weijiang, before August comes, neither Fang Mingyuan nor the core members of the Guo family have the intention to formally initiate investment negotiations with the Weijiang government, let alone

Speaking of lobbying the central government in Beijing - in Fang Mingyuan's view, for now, except that the construction of Weijiang Port does not allow public ownership to occupy a controlling position, other aspects are not big problems. Although Weijiang is a good port

, it can be seen from the fact that the Beiyang Navy chose this place as its base in modern times. But it is not unique in this area. There are many ports within 200 nautical miles around it, many of which will develop into the top ten in the world in the future.

China's top large port. In terms of infrastructure and transportation, Weijiang also has certain shortcomings compared with surrounding ports, so the development here now lags behind other regions. Therefore, Guo's Shipping Group Company has joined forces

Both the central government and the local government should welcome the Fang family's investment here.

In the following days, Fang Mingyuan stayed in Hong Kong peacefully. Every day, he was either busy with his writing or visiting film companies or various co-production studios with Yu Qiuxia and Fang Bin to inspect the work. In the evening,

Browse the beautiful night view of the Oriental Pearl Tower. Of course, during this period, Mr. Guo and Yu Qiuxia also invited many experts and professors to explain some business and futures knowledge to Fang Mingyuan. Yu Qiuxia also held a seminar for Fang Mingyuan and Lin Lian.

Two auditoriums at the University of Hong Kong allow them to go to the University of Hong Kong from time to time to listen to some interesting lectures. Such a life is leisurely and comfortable, and it is also extremely fulfilling and busy.

The University of Hong Kong, referred to as HKU, is a university established on Hong Kong Island in the early 20th century. Its predecessor was the Hong Kong College of Western Medicine and is the oldest university in Hong Kong. The Chinese motto of the University of Hong Kong is "Mingde Gwu". Its campus headquarters Campus Headquarters

It is located in the west of Hong Kong Island to the east of Pok Fu Lam Road, south of Bonham Road, west of Robinson Road and north of Lung Fu Shan, covering an area of ​​about 16 hectares.

After attending the University of Hong Kong for a period of time, Fang Mingyuan also gained some knowledge about the history of the University of Hong Kong. For example, the origin of the school emblem of the University of Hong Kong. The school emblem of the University of Hong Kong was drawn up based on the suggestions of the British College of Heraldry.

It is a pity that the designer of this badge is no longer known, but it is speculated that he should be a European who was familiar with heraldry in the university at that time. From the design of the badge, it can be seen that the early founders of the University of Hong Kong had great expectations for the University of Hong Kong.

Future expectations - they hope to develop the University of Hong Kong into a university that combines Chinese and Western cultures.

At the same time as the 70th anniversary of the University of Hong Kong, the University of Hong Kong applied to the British College of Heraldry for a complete university coat of arms, including the addition of a crown and a beast of a supporting shield. This application was later reviewed and approved by the British College of Heraldry. Hong Kong

The university has thus become the only university in Hong Kong with a complete coat of arms. From this point, we can see the long history of the University of Hong Kong.

Fang Mingyuan still remembers that in his previous life, since 2007, the University of Hong Kong has been ranked among the top 30 universities in the world by British educational institutions for three consecutive years, ranking first among all universities in China! In 2010, in the UK

In the 2010 Times University Rankings in Asia, the University of Hong Kong ranked 23rd in the world, surpassing the University of Tokyo in Japan and ranking first in Asia. In the same year, the University of Hong Kong ranked first among international universities.

In the latest Asian university rankings released by educational research institutions, Hong Kong schools are among the best, with 8 universities on the list. Among them, the University of Hong Kong, the University of Science and Technology, and the Chinese University of Hong Kong are once again among the top five, beating out famous universities in Japan, South Korea, and Singapore.

It can be seen that the quality of Hong Kong schools is widely recognized.

At the same time, Chinese universities are busy spending a lot of money to build campuses, build new buildings, recruit students, and collect a lot of money. As for whether the educational level of the school can also rise along with their tuition levels, then it is not for leaders like them.

That's all they need to worry about. Anyway, China has a large population. Even if it is a crappy pheasant university, there will be no worries that no one will go to it. Education, for the leaders of these schools, is just a monopoly that can be supplied continuously.

It is a tool that continuously extracts excess profits from the people. As for other functions of education, they are just incidental to making money. One can imagine the quality of the students trained in such an educational environment...

"Mingyuan?" Lin Lian patted Fang Mingyuan's shoulder and called softly with a bit of worry. From just now, Fang Mingyuan, who was sitting on the steps, seemed to be in a trance.

"Huh?" Fang Mingyuan stepped back from his memories, and then he noticed Lin Lian's pretty face with a bit of worry in front of her, and said quickly, "Sister Lian, I'm fine."

"Hey! Fangzi! Sister Lin, why are you hiding here?" A young man with curly hair stood at the top of the steps and shouted loudly, "The weather is too hot, we are planning to go to shallow water soon.

Do you want to go swimming in the bay?" Although he called Fang Mingyuan and the two of them, his eyes only turned to Lin Lian.

Fang Mingyuan and Lin Lian often come to the University of Hong Kong these days to listen to lectures given by several professors. They are handsome men and women, and they dress and talk quite well. Naturally, they have made a few friends. This young man is called Luo Jianzhong.

, a sophomore student in the Department of Business Administration at the University of Hong Kong. His family is quite wealthy. I heard that someone in his family has opened a small factory. He is a pretty good person, but everyone can tell that he is somewhat interested in Lin Lian.

In fact, it was not just him. Lin Lian was walking on the campus of the University of Hong Kong, but she really attracted the attention of men. Every time she accompanied Fang Mingyuan to attend a lecture at the University of Hong Kong, someone would come up to chat with her and treat her. There was more than one person giving flowers.

, but Lin Lian has never agreed to anyone's invitation, let alone accepted flowers from anyone.

Of course, Fang Mingyuan also attracted a lot of attention from women at the University of Hong Kong. Even though he was slightly shorter than the average 17- or 18-year-old youth in Qinxi Province, it did not affect those enthusiastic girls. If it weren't for the two of them

We always walk together, and I'm afraid there are even more people of the opposite sex who have the courage to get together.

Fang Mingyuan stood up, patted his pants and said, "Sister Lian, there is nothing to do after I go back today. The weather is so hot, how about a walk at the beach?"

Fang Mingyuan said this, so Lin Lian would naturally have no objections.

"Jianzhong, who is there? Let me make it clear first, don't let anyone you don't know." Fang Mingyuan shouted as he walked up. He was always introducing himself to others and could not tell the real situation. Fang Mingyuan was also a little annoyed.

.

"They are all my own!" Luo Jianzhong excitedly waved his hands and shouted down. He had made appointments with two people in the past, but they were both declined. To be honest, this time it was just a chance of luck. Unexpectedly, the two of them

He actually agreed. Behind him, two ordinary cars were parked. There were men and women in the cars. Counting him, there were five people in total, and all of them showed joy.

"It's rare that Fang Zai agreed to come out to play together. Luo Jianzhong, Wu Jiawen, and Li Zhicheng, you three don't ruin everyone's fun when the time comes!" A pretty girl with short hair waved her arms excitedly.

"Xiu Ling, we have to remind you, don't scare Fang Zai away again, and take Sister Lin away with you!" Another young man retorted, "Girls should be more reserved.

Just wait for others to chase you." Everyone couldn't help but laugh. When the girl named Xiuling met Fang Mingyuan for the first time, she was like a curious baby, surrounding him and asking him all the questions.

After class, Fang Mingyuan immediately ran away, leaving this joke behind.

"Come on, Fang Zai and Sister Lin will only stay in Hong Kong for a few days. They may return to the mainland in September. No one knows when we will see each other again. If I wait for him to chase me, it may be a waste of time.

All the dishes have failed!" Xiuling sneered, "In these days, good men are as rare as those antiques! Of course we have to take the initiative to fight for them!"

"Even if Fang Zai likes you, is it possible that you want to marry in the mainland?" Another girl said in disbelief, "I heard that the economy in the mainland is still very underdeveloped. The basic necessities of life for people there are...

Just like our level in the 1960s and 1970s, could you adapt to it?" Everyone agreed.

"You are so confused!" Xiuling said with a proud smile, "Since Fang Zai and Sister Lin can attend classes in school, it means that they are not ordinary mainlanders. And based on my family's conditions, I still need to care about Fang Zai.

What is the financial condition of his family? As long as he has the ability, he will definitely be able to make a career in Hong Kong!"

"You are such a shameless girl..." Everyone in the car laughed and shouted, full of energy...

In the afternoon, the beach at Repulse Bay was already a little hot from the scorching sun. However, even so, a large number of tourists and Hong Kong people came here. Fortunately, it has not reached the level of making dumplings like in mainland bathing beaches. Luo

Jianzhong and the others had already put on their swimsuits and trunks, and rushed into the sea screaming. To their disappointment, Lin Lian and Fang Mingyuan actually used the excuse of not bringing swimsuits with them and had no intention of going into the sea. They were just shaded by the sun on the beach.

They were lying on the beach chairs under the umbrella, and all five of them were thrown into the sea.

Lin Lian gathered her long hair that had been blown away by the sea breeze and said with a smile: "Mingyuan, don't you think that girl Mei Xiuling is treating you..."

"Shh..." Fang Mingyuan interrupted her and motioned for her to listen quietly.

"On July 19 this year, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, at a rally celebrating the 22nd anniversary of the Iraqi Baath Party's rule, rarely and extremely severely criticized the oil policies of the Gulf countries. He said: 'Since 1980, due to the Gulf countries

Failure to comply with OPEC's production quotas and wanton overproduction caused oil prices in the world oil market to plummet. Since the second half of 1989 alone, Iraq has suffered losses of up to 14 billion U.S. dollars.' Moreover, he also claimed that during the 8-year conflict between Iraq and Iran,

After winning the war in 2006, the Gulf countries tried to weaken Iraq's foundation!" From a store not far away, the clear voice of the Hong Kong TV host came. "'Producing oil beyond the quota has caused oil prices to fall, so that the United States can use cheap oil.

Oil to replenish its stocks, this is a conspiracy planned by the United States and executed by the rulers of the Gulf, to stab Iraq from behind with a poison-smeared dagger.' President Saddam also solemnly warned: 'If the evil continues to exist, speak out in protest

It is not a last resort, but some effective measures should be taken to return things to normal. Iraqis will never forget the old saying that it is better to chop off a person's neck than to chop off a nation's means of survival."

Lin Lian could see that the picture on the TV jumped a few times, and then the sound came. "And just today, many Iraqi media are exaggerating that Iraqi Foreign Minister Aziz officially sent a letter to the Secretary-General of the Arab League on July 18th.

Khalibi's open letter, in which Aziz explicitly criticized Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and other countries for disregarding OPEC agreements and exporting large amounts of oil in excess of their quota, seriously damaging Iraq's normal economic interests. The open letter also provided information on Iraq's official planning structure

The calculated losses caused to the Iraqi people due to the world's excess oil production and the sharp drop in oil prices mean that the Arab countries have suffered a total loss of more than 500 billion U.S. dollars in this matter, of which Iraq accounted for nearly 90 billion U.S. dollars. Open letter

China accused Kuwait of being the chief culprit, accusing Kuwait of secretly exploiting the Rumaila oil field in the border area between the two countries ten years ago, and the illegally extracted oil was worth billions of dollars. This open letter also unexpectedly condemned Kuwait for its involvement in the Iran-Iraq war.

In one year, it built military facilities on Iraqi territory and said it was an act of military aggression against Iraq... According to US TV reports, US satellites have confirmed that there are about 50,000 Iraqi troops in the border area between Iraq and Kuwait.

Assembling now!"

Fang Mingyuan's heart almost jumped out of his throat with excitement. Over the past few days, although the situation in the Gulf has indeed been the same as in previous lives, relations between Iraq and Kuwait have deteriorated day by day, and the situation in the Gulf has become tense. This sudden internal dispute among Arab countries has not only caused

has attracted "great attention" from the United States and has made other Arab countries in the Gulf very worried. In order to quickly end this crisis in which brothers may fight against each other, the leaders of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Yemen, Libya and other countries have conducted frequent

Emergency contacts were made to discuss countermeasures, and foreign ministers from various countries made frequent visits.

But Fang Mingyuan is still not sure whether Iraq's invasion of Kuwait will proceed according to the timetable in the previous life. If time continues to delay like this, then the batch of futures contracts Yu Dongfeng and the others in early August may have to be higher than

He took over the job despite the current oil market price. Fortunately, he remembered clearly that in the past three months after Iraq invaded Kuwait, oil prices had been running at a high level. As long as there was somewhere to store it, this batch of crude oil would still be available.

There is a possibility of selling it at a high price. But in that case, I am afraid that another amount of money will have to be raised, which will undoubtedly increase the cost. Therefore, although Fang Mingyuan appears to be very calm, when no one is watching, he also

You will feel worried about this.

He had already learned about the news on July 18th and 19th from various channels, but today's news that US satellites confirmed that Iraqi troops were gathering towards the border between Iraq and Kuwait made Fang Mingyuan completely relieved. It seems that

This invasion war is now inevitable! And it seems that it will be at the end of July or early August.

The footsteps of war can already be heard faintly...
