New Year's Day in the year 2002. The European Union introduced euro banknotes and coins. Since then, the euro has become the sole currency of eleven countries, including Belgium, Germany, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal and Spain.

On the same day, China and Chinese Taipei officially joined the World Trade Organization.

On January 5, a fifteen-year-old cadet pilot crashed a small plane into a building in Tampa, Florida, causing some to panic about the 911 terrorist attacks.

It's been a bad year for the U.S. economy, with millions of Americans getting a struggling life instead of a raise, financial fraud being exposed one after another, some large corporations crashing to the ground, and the credibility of U.S. companies taking a heavy hit.

The economy is sluggish and the government's leadership is in doubt. U.S. Treasury Secretary O'Neill and White House Chief Economic Adviser Lawrence Murphy. Lindsay was both dismissed, and the company's financial fraud forced Pete, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to retire.

It will take time to tell whether the U.S. economy will be able to shine in another village, and what people are waiting for is now. Bush will launch a new plan to stimulate economic development in January, and Newsweek summed up the situation by saying, "Fool, it's not all about the economy."

The bankruptcy turmoil is also intensifying, and the United States World Communications Company, with total assets of 100 billion US dollars, filed for bankruptcy with the court, and the reputation of the largest bankruptcy case in the history of the United States was carried out without petitioning.

One once-glamorous CEO after another has been found to have ethical problems, and others have even been accused of violating the law. Former General Electric President Jack Brown. The Welch divorce case became the object of media pursuit. His lavish life, which included a lifetime of use of universal planes and expensive apartments, had a negative impact on his image.

Bioterrorism and the outbreak of the West Nile virus have made Americans feel that their lives are so insecure. But for the world as a whole, the millions of people living with HIV in Africa and Asia are even more alarming, and hunger will threaten the lives of millions of people.

Fearing that terrorists might use smallpox to carry out attacks, the U.S. government increased its stockpiles of smallpox vaccines, and U.S. President George W. Bush announced that U.S. soldiers would be vaccinated against smallpox, and Bush himself was vaccinated against smallpox.

Or ordinary people's feelings about this year started from Daolang's "The First Snow in 2002", but as a high-level executive, there are many challenges, even Fan Wuxi, who has always been happy and at ease, feels that there are really a little more things recently.

The entertainment industry has always been a place of right and wrong, and F4 was only a temporary combination in last year's "Meteor Garden", but because of its popularity, it has achieved a miracle of the combination. They led to the production of a group of men of flowers, which made people marvel at the arrival of the male era.

The songs of the new generation of songwriter Jay Chou have also created good results, but this year's cookie-cutter style always gives people a feeling of being at a low ebb. didn't show his strength at all, it seems that it will take time for the little king to grow into a king.

F4's music is accused of being garbage, Jay Chou is called a genius, but they can all be popular, it is obvious how wise the old saying is that it is difficult to reconcile, everyone's tastes in the entertainment industry are diverse, either you are talented, or you are handsome, you are cool and you have a personality, if you don't have any of these, then as long as you are disgusting enough, you can get ahead. If there is no advantage, then the disadvantage is also an advantage, as long as there is an advantage, you can win the market, but this is not a long-term solution after all, to really win the reputation, you need your own continuous efforts.

The film "My Sassy Girlfriend" became popular all over Asia, not only made Jun Ji-hyun and others popular, but also made the Korean Wave completely freeze in Asia, so that many films in Asia are branded as sassy girlfriends, and even in real life, many couples have learned the style of the film.

Cecilia Cheung's "Hedong Lion's Roar" also played the brand of the Chinese version of the savage girlfriend. Although the plot of this film is far-fetched, the box office is still very good, and it seems that barbarism is really justified.

Judging from Fan Wuxi's feelings, the relationship between men and women in the entertainment industry is now likely to be subverted. After this film, savage girlfriends have also become popular in reality, although there are men's dramas such as Zhang Yimou's "Hero" and He Ping's "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" have been introduced one after another, which makes men excited, but in the entertainment industry and film and television industry, this kind of practice of women overwhelming men will probably continue forever.

But during the Chinese New Year this year, Fan Wuxian and Shen Ying went to meet his father-in-law Shen Peiming, the old man was in a good mood, and he obviously felt very good in the rare earth industry, and the profits in the past few years were quite good, so he specially bought a special bulletproof Bentley for Fan Wuzhi.

Although Fan Wuxian didn't have any special feelings for a Bentley, he was flattered that the old man, who had always had a mediocre view of himself, suddenly gave such a generous gift.

The elder sister Fan Ting has completely faded out of all the management of Fan's Investment Group, in addition to receiving dividends, she has concentrated on charity, and has also been awarded the position of visiting professor by Peking University, and from time to time she goes to Peking University to give a lecture or something for the younger students.

Naturally, a rich and influential senior like her came to give a lecture, and the school did not hold such an event, which would attract great attention from all walks of life, and it was not inferior to finding those masters of Chinese culture to give speeches, or even surpassed.

At the beginning of the new year, the elder brother Fan Kang began to toss his Internet companies. Because Fan Wuxian told him very clearly, whether Internet companies can make a turnaround, the key is to see a few years of operation, so Fan Kang used his position as a major shareholder in a number of Internet companies to begin to carry out some layout in operation, increase the role of the consortium, strengthen the business characteristics of each website, toss for a while, has been a significant improvement, at least the stock prices of several major portals have begun to pick up, the previous investment in the capital, has had nearly ten times the return.

In late February, with the special approval of the central government, the relics of Shakyamuni Buddha at the Fufeng Famen Temple in Shaanxi Province, which is known as the ninth wonder of the world in Buddhist circles, arrived in Taipei via Hong Kong under the escort of people from Buddhist circles on both sides of the strait, attracting more than 100,000 Buddhist believers on both sides of the strait to bow and worship along the way.

On 26 February, Kinmen and Xiamen launched high-altitude fireworks for the first time to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

The next day, the Zhongzhou ship, which belongs to the Xiamen Steamship Corporation, departed from Xiamen Tongyi Wharf and sailed directly into the Kinmen Liaoluo Wharf, marking the first mainland-flagged freighter to be approved by the relevant departments on both sides of the strait since the establishment of the cross-strait mini three links. A new record for carrying cargo through the Jinxia Sea and directly docking at the sea.

As far as Fan Wuxian is concerned, at the request of his mother, this year's education investment projects are being reviewed to determine the amount of assistance and specific projects that Fan Investment Group will provide to domestic education this year.

In fact, this work under the leadership of Fan Wuzhi is basically rule-based, and the annual investment in the Hope Project and the investment in assisting poor college students is relatively stable, basically according to the head, and the focus of his attention has begun to tilt towards vocational education.

And most of the vocational education is actually what was called a secondary specialized school or a technical school or something.

Affected by the climate of pursuing higher education diplomas, studying technical secondary school has become a helpless choice, and it is quite difficult to find employment after graduation. As a result, it has been neglected by students and society. The number of secondary school students also began to shrink in 1999 and has dropped to 6 million this year.

At the same time, the state's support has gradually decreased, with an annual increase of only a few hundred million.

Therefore, technical secondary school has become the school level with the smallest total investment, the lowest proportion and the slowest growth among all grades above primary school.

The state invests even less in technical schools, with only one-third of the more than 1.5 million students in school enjoying state investment, while the rest are personal and social investments. Social investment is declining at a rate of 11 percent per year. However, the school's demand for funds is no different, and in the absence of state and social support, the only way to do so is to significantly increase the fees charged to students, and this year's average personal investment of students has exceeded 6,000 yuan.

For this, Fan Wuxi is very dissatisfied.

It stands to reason that in terms of investment in education, although the state does not have the ability to make more compensation, or is unwilling to make more compensation, it should not do nothing in the direction of education.

After all, today's higher education has entered the chicken rib link, on the one hand, the extreme shortage of skilled workers, the majority of employers for high-level skilled workers, on the other hand, the majority of students and parents are consciously guided, have to go to the capacity of the university campus has exceeded the capacity limit of a swarm.

The consequence of these two phenomena is that there is a gap in the basic links of the manufacturing industry, and many high-skilled jobs are not available, and at the same time, it has caused the proliferation of college graduates and the decline in the quality of higher education, and employers have not shown the slightest interest in flashy college graduates.

Generally speaking, it is all caused by the industrialization of education, and it should be a net investment, but if you have to make money, there will obviously be problems.

What Fan Wuxian needs to do now is to reverse this unfavorable situation as soon as possible through personal efforts, continue to increase the enrollment scale of his Fan's investment group in vocational and technical schools around the country, and train skilled workers in the digital age to adapt to the current situation.

After all, the current Fan Investment Group needs a huge number of skilled workers, just for its own sake. This needs to be done, not to mention, it is a very far-reaching work.

The situation facing Fan Wuxian is still very grim.

There are no pop-ups
