Although said. A consensus has been reached between Fang Mingyuan and the Guo family on the establishment of a port in Weijiang, but before the arrival of August, neither Fang Mingyuan nor the core members of the Guo family have the heart to officially start investment negotiations with the Weijiang government, let alone lobby the central government in the capital - in Fang Mingyuan's view, for the time being, the construction of the port in Weijiang is not a big problem except for the fact that the public ownership has not been able to occupy a controlling position. Although Weijiang is a good port, it can be seen from the fact that the modern Beiyang Navy Division chose this place as a base. However, it is not unique in this area, within 200 nautical miles of its surroundings, there are many ports, many of which will later develop into the top ten of Shijie and the top ports in China. In terms of infrastructure and transportation, Weijiang also has certain shortcomings compared with the surrounding ports, so the development here has lagged behind other regions. Therefore, Guo's Shipping Group Co., Ltd. and Fangjia should be welcome to invest here, whether it is the central government or the local government.

In the following days, Fang Mingyuan stayed in Hong Kong peacefully, and was not busy with his own writing every day. is to inspect the work with Yu Qiuxuan and Fang Bin to the film company or the set of various co-productions. At night, you can browse the beautiful night of the Oriental Pearl. Of course, during this period, Mr. Guo and Yu Qiuxuan also invited many experts and professors to explain some business and futures knowledge to Fang Mingyuan, and Yu Qiuxuan also set up two audit cards for Fang Mingyuan and Lin Lian, so that they could go to the University of Hong Kong from time to time to listen to some interesting lectures. Such a day is leisurely and extremely fulfilling and busy.

The University of Hong Kong (HKU) is a university established on Hong Kong Island in the early 20th century, formerly known as the Hong Kong College of Western Medicine, and is the oldest university in Hong Kong. HKU's Chinese motto is "Mingde Gewu". The Campus Headquarters is located east of Pok Fu Lam Road, south of Bonham Road, west of Robinson Road and north of Lung Fu Shan in the western part of Hong Kong Island, covering an area of about 16 hectares.

After observing the University of Hong Kong for a period of time, Fang Mingyuan also knows something about the history of the University of Hong Kong. For example, the origin of the University of Hong Kong's emblem. The coat of arms of the University of Hong Kong was created on the advice of the British Institute of Heraldry, but unfortunately it is not known who designed the coat of arms, but it is presumed to have been a European who was familiar with heraldry at the university at that time. The design of the badge shows the aspirations of the early founders of the University of Hong Kong for the future of the University of Hong Kong, who wanted to develop the University into a university that blends East and West.

On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the University of Hong Kong, the University of Hong Kong applied to the British Coat of Arms College for a complete university coat of arms, including the addition of a crown and a supporting shield, which was subsequently approved by the British Coat of Arms College. As a result, the University of Hong Kong is the only university in Hong Kong with a full coat of arms, which shows 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 continuously 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 2010 University Rankings of the British Times in Asia, the University of Hong Kong ranked 23rd in the world, surpassing the University of Tokyo in Japan and ranking first in Asia. And also in this year, in the latest Asian university rankings released by international higher education research institutions. Hong Kong universities 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 University of Chinese once again ranked among the top five, beating famous universities in Japan, South Korea and Singapore, which shows that the quality of Hong Kong universities is widely recognized.

At the same time, the universities in China are busy spending a lot of money to build school gates, build new buildings, recruit students, and collect a lot of money. Anyway, Huaxia has a large population, and even if it is a garbage pheasant university, there is no worry that no one will go to it. Education, for the leaders of these schools, is only a tool that can be monopolized and can continuously extract super-profits from the people, and as for the other functions of education, it is only an accessory to making money. In such an educational environment, the quality of the students cultivated can be imagined......

"Mingyuan?" Lin Lian patted Fang Mingyuan's shoulder and whispered with a little worry. From just now. Fang Mingyuan, who was sitting on the steps, looked like he was in a trance.

"Huh?" Fang Mingyuan withdrew from his memories, only then did he notice that Lin Lian approached the pretty face in front of him with a little worry, and hurriedly said, "Sister Lian, I'm fine." ”

"Hey!Fang Zai!Sister Lin, why are you hiding here?" A young man with a curly hair stood at the top of the steps and shouted loudly, "It's too hot, everyone plans to go swimming in Repulse Bay for a while, do you want to go?" Although he shouted Fang Mingyuan and the two of them, his eyes only turned on Lin Lian's body.

Fang Mingyuan and Lin Lian often come to the University of Hong Kong to listen to the lectures of several professors these days, the two are handsome men and women, and they are also quite good at dressing and talking, so they naturally met a few friends. The young man's name was Law Kin-chung, a second-year student in the Department of Business Administration at the University of Hong Kong. The family is quite wealthy, and I heard that someone in the family has opened a small factory, and he is a good person, but everyone can see that he has some meaning to Lin Lian.

In fact, he is not alone, Lin Lian walking on the campus of the University of Hong Kong, but it really attracts the attention of men, every time she accompanies Fang Mingyuan to the University of Hong Kong to listen to a lecture, someone will come up to talk to him, and there is more than one person who sends flowers, but Lin Lian has never agreed to anyone's invitation, let alone accept flowers from anyone.

Of course, Fang Mingyuan is also quite popular with women at the University of Hong Kong. Even his slightly lower height compared with the normal seventeen or eighteen-year-old young people in Qinxi Province did not affect those enthusiastic girls. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them always walked together, I am afraid that the number of people of the opposite sex who had the courage to come up would be even more.

Fang Mingyuan stood up, patted his pants and said, "Sister Lian, it's okay to go back today anyway, how hot is the weather, how about going to the beach?"

Fang Mingyuan said this, Lin Lian naturally had no objections.

"Jianzhong, who are you? I'll declare first, don't know anyone you don't know. Fang Mingyuan shouted as he walked away. Always introducing himself to others, and not being able to tell the real situation, Fang Mingyuan was also a little annoyed.

"It's all my own people!" Luo Jianzhong excitedly waved his hand and shouted. In the past, he also made appointments with two people, but they were politely rejected by the two, and this time it was just a bit of luck, unexpectedly, the two actually agreed. Behind him, there were two ordinary cars, there were men and women in the cars, and there were five people counting him, and they were all happy one by one.

"Fang Tsai rarely agreed to come out to play together, Luo Jianzhong, Wu Jiawen, and Li Zhicheng. Don't spoil everyone's interest, you three!" said a pretty girl with short hair waving excitedly.

"Xiuling, we have to remind you of this, don't scare Fang Zai away again, and even take Sister Lin away with you!" another young man retorted, "Girls should be more reserved, and they have to wait for others to chase them." Everyone laughed. This girl named Xiuling, when she saw Fang Mingyuan for the first time, she was like a curious baby, asking him any questions, but after class, Fang Mingyuan immediately ran away. So this joke was left.

"Come on, Fang Tsai and Sister Lin will only stay in Hong Kong for a few days, and they may return to the mainland in September, and no one knows when they will meet again in the future. If I wait for him to chase me, maybe the daylily will be defeated!" Xiuling sneered, "In these days, good men are as rare as those antiques!

"It's just that Fang Zai likes you, can't you still marry to the mainland?" the other girl said in disbelief, "I've heard that the economy of the mainland is still very underdeveloped, and the people there, food, clothing, housing and transportation, are just like the level we had in the sixties and seventies, can you adapt to the past?"

"You guys are just confused!" Xiu Ling smirked, "Since Fang Tsai and Sister Lin can go to the school to listen to the class, it means that they are not ordinary mainlanders." And with my family's conditions, do I still need to care about the economic conditions of Fang Tsai's family? As long as he has the ability, he will definitely be able to break out of Hong Kong!"

"Really shameless girl......" The people in the car laughed and screamed, full of energy......

In the afternoon, the beach of Repulse Bay has been a little hot from the scorching sun of the day, but even so, a large number of tourists and Hong Kong people have flocked here, but fortunately it has not reached the level of dumplings like the mainland beach. Luo Jianzhong and the others had already changed into swimsuits and swim trunks, and rushed into the sea with a scream, to their disappointment, Lin Lian and Fang Mingyuan had no intention of going into the sea on the grounds that they did not bring swimsuits, but just lay on the beach chairs under the umbrellas on the beach, and bombed all five of them into the sea.

Lin Lian stroked 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 ...... to you?"

"Shhhh......h

On July 19 this year, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, at a rally to celebrate the 22nd anniversary of Iraq's Baath Party's rule, rarely criticized the oil policies of the Gulf countries. He said: 'Since 1980. Oil prices in the Shijie oil market plummeted as Gulf countries did not comply with OPEC production quotas and wantonly overproduced. Since the second half of 1989 alone, Iraq has suffered losses of up to $14 billion. And he also claimed that after Iraq's victory in the eight-year war with Iran, the Gulf countries are trying to weaken Iraq's foundations!" "'Excess oil production has brought down oil prices so that the United States can replenish its stockpiles with cheap oil, a conspiracy orchestrated by the United States and carried out by the rulers of the Gulf, to assassinate Iraq from behind with a dagger smeared with poison'. President Saddam also solemnly warned: "If evil continues, speaking out in protest is not the last resort, but some effective measures should be taken to restore things to a normal state." Iraqis will never forget the old saying that it is better to cut off a person's neck than to cut off a people's means of subsistence. ”

Lin Lian could see that the picture on the TV jumped a few times, and then there was a voice. Today, many Iraqi media have hyped up Iraqi Foreign Minister Aziz's official open letter to Arab League Secretary-General Al-Qalibi on 18 July, in which Aziz explicitly criticized Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and other countries for disregarding the OPEC agreement and exporting a large amount of oil in excess of the quota, which has seriously damaged Iraq's normal economic interests. The letter also provided the losses to Iraqi nationals caused by Iraq's official calculations as a result of the overproduction of Shijie oil and the sharp drop in oil prices, i.e., the total losses of Arab countries in this case amounted to more than $500 billion, of which Iraq alone accounted for nearly $90 billion. The letter blames Kuwait for being the culprit, accusing Kuwait of secretly exploiting the Rumaila oil field in the border between the two countries a decade ago, with billions of dollars worth of oil. The letter also unexpectedly condemned Kuwait's repair of military installations to Iraqi territory in the first year of the Iran-Iraq war and described it as an act of military aggression against Iraq...... According to a report by American television, US satellites have confirmed that Iraq's army of about 50,000 people is gathering in the Iraq-Kuwait border area!"

Fang Mingyuan's heart was so excited that it almost jumped out of his throat, these days, although it is said that the situation in the Gulf is indeed the same as in the previous life, the relations between Iraq and Kuwait are deteriorating day by day, and the situation in the Gulf is tense. This sudden intra-Arab dispute has not only aroused 'great concern' from the United States, but has also made other Arab countries in the Gulf feel very worried. In order to quickly end this crisis of fraternal warfare, the leaders of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Yemen, Libya and other countries have made frequent emergency contacts to discuss countermeasures, and foreign ministers of various countries have made frequent foreign visits.

However, Fang Mingyuan was still not sure whether Iraq's invasion of Kuwait would continue according to the schedule in his previous life. If time continues to drag on like this, then Yu Dongfeng and their batch of futures contracts in early August may have to take over at a price higher than the current oil market price. Fortunately, he remembered very well that for nearly three months after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, the price of oil had been running at a high level, and as long as there were local reserves, there was still a possibility that this batch of crude oil could be sold at a high price. It's just that in that case, I'm afraid that another amount of money will have to be raised at that time, and the cost will undoubtedly increase a lot. Therefore, although Fang Mingyuan was very calm on the surface, when no one saw him, he would also feel worried about it.

He had already learned about the news on 18 and 19 July from various sources, but today's news that the US satellite had determined that Iraqi troops were massing toward the Iraq-Kuwait border made Fang Mingyuan completely relieved. It seems that this war of invasion is now inevitable! And it seems that the time will be at the end of July and the beginning of August.

The footsteps of war are already faintly audible......
